I have been lurking for most of the day/night, but had to respond to your post. A couple days ago, I visited popsugar for the first time in months, and remembered why i stopped going there. They had a post about “the fraud”, and was going on about what an incredible year she has had, and I’m like WTH are they talking about? Other than the PR “romance” with peeboy, and the susequent public break-up and make-up, what else did she do? That is why she is still getting some notice, because in addition to using Brad and Angie for relevancy, you have these blogs who are run by women, who continue to prop her up. There is a blog “wwtdd.com” which is run by a man, and he hates her with a passion, and continuosly call her on her phoniness.
-
By the way, did she do an interview with The Today Show, seeing that it is Jolie-Pitt Central?.
-

LOL…that chick over at PopSugar is all up in X’s ass. She’s a Rachelite. I bet she even had the haircut.
-
BTW - No, X didn’t do the Today Show. She did the CBS early morning show, whatever the hell it’s called. They’re #3 in the ratings…says all you need to know about X’s movie career. She couldn’t even get a slot on the Today show, and NBC show, to pimp her dog flick.

IT’S hard being Brad Pitt. The star repeatedly tried buying the complete works of Hungarian cult director Bela Tarr from a small DVD store in Budapest as a Christmas present for Angelina Jolie, but whenever he called the place, they thought it was a joke and hung up on him. “He tried several times on the phone but had to give up. They just didn’t believe him,” an aide to Pitt tells Britain’s Daily Mail. Finally, he got a friend in the city, opera singer Laszlo Domahidy, to buy the collection for him.

It’s a good thing Angie can’t be bothered to read shite like the NY Post or else she’d know what Brad got her for X-mas !
-
BTW - this story is just stupid. Why would he buy Angie movies on DVD? Brad even said in the RS that Angie hadn’t seen BAR because she doesn’t watch a lot of movies.

WHoa!!!! @ 12/22/2008 at 6:22 am Jen models new Louis Vitton spcial “big chin covering scarf”!

Have a chin bigger than an anvil? Louis Vitton has the answer for you!

Will Smith is not #1 at the boxoffice.
-
++++++++++++++++++
-
Not only is he not #1…but a $16MIL weekend for a Will Smith flick? That’s a total bomb. Pursuit of Happyness opened at $26MIL and built on good word of mouth and Oscar buzz. There’s no good word of mouth about Seven Pound and there sure as hell isn’t any Oscar buzz.

This is a really good interview from my hometown paper, there are some spoilers so I am just going to post the link and a little bit of the interview in case some fans don’t want to read the whole interview

In Pitt’s ‘Case,’ a reminder of talent

By Lee Grant 12:02 a.m. December 22, 2008
MOVIE REVIEW
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
Rating: PG-13
When: Opens Thursday
Running time: 2 hr., 47 min.
3 1/2 stars

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is a long movie based on a short story.

Like a fine piece of literature (the film is taken from a piece by F. Scott Fitzgerald), it needs time to tell the tale spanning a lifetime, get at the lessons and morals, develop the rich characters.

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” has been kicking around Hollywood for years with directors unsure how to make the reverse aging process work. With contemporary technology and state-of-the art makeup, director David Fincher fashioned a triumph of not just effects but storytelling.

The screenplay was written by Eric Roth, who won an Oscar for adapting “Forrest Gump.” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is like a box of chocolates. Hanging in there for nearly three hours, you never know what you’re going to get.

At that length, the film dips occasionally, but the characters are so full that it’s just a matter of time until you’re swept into the lives again.

Brad Pitt, who celebrated his 45th birthday last week, has become better with age. It’s no longer about his movie-star glamour. As demonstrated in “Babel” and “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” and now, with this challenging role, it’s plain there’s a depth of talent still to explore.

I’m in BOLD — CLINIQUA

grow up @ 12/22/2008 at 10:09 am Oh sure, how dare Jennifer Aniston to have been married to Brad Pitt. What nerve to say how she feels. She is the bad guy in this situation. She really benefitted from Pitt’s cowardly behavior. That had to have been fun for her and paid dividends in joy. He did her a huge favor both by marrying her and pubically humiliating her. Without Brad, Jen would have been homeless.
.
No, not homeless at all. She would just be Patricia Heaton…or, heh - Courtney Cox, but nearly as pretty.
.
Being with her and acting like a pig was just his first step into the wild world of philantrophy. How dare Jen refuse to sip the Loon Kool-Aid. Bad.
.
Apparently you missed the part a couple weeks ago where she drank a whole pitcher of Kool-Aid, and she did it in front of the whole world and at the foot of her wet nurse Oprah. Didn’t you hear fan of man, according to the TV sit-com hack, ‘Brad is an amazing admirable man that she’s proud of.’
.
I never have bought Jolie’s faux-humanitarian routine. She looks to be collecting kids the way she used to collect knives and tattoos.
.
Well, I don’t think YOU need to buy into it, when the UN, Council on Foreign Relations, Brad Pitt, her kids, her family and friends that love her, and Time-Newsweek who has voted her ‘The Most Influential Philanthropist,’ back-to-back-to-back, HAVE.
.
The way that Jolie has treated people (JA included) in her life offers resounding evidence that her “causes” are really efforts at self-promotion and attempts to deflect from her misanthropic actions.
.
See above. Oh, and I’ll be waiting right here for you to tell me how Brad gets to be the one who is ‘amazing, admirable and makes her so proud,’ and Angelina, who she has never met and does not know, does not. Methinks someone is full of sh*t, and not just the kind that comes directly due to John Gayer’s fetishes.
.
Her fans and Jolie say that she does not feel she should apologize to anyone. Is that supposed to be a virtue? The fact that she does not feel the need to atone or apologize speaks volumes about the severity and chronicity of her psychopathology. Angelina Jolie’s behavior is, and always has been, completely incongruent with her espoused values and principles.
.
Um, would YOU apologize to someone when YOU have done nothing wrong. …and actually Jolie’s behavior is consistent with who and what she’s always been, UNFLINCHINGLY HONEST. Everyone in her industry, family and those that count, know this to be so - which is why Aniston gets no love in Hollywood and can’t get Pumas: The story of her aging twa.t made - or the prison cowgirl flick. They know when someone else is being dumped on and unjustly used for the betterment of some TV hack’s career aspirations. They are rewarding Maniston and her PR queen (that she shares a fake boyfriend with), with their just due - i.e., being 3rd bananas in dog movies, and by not distributing her crapola rom-coms, just sending them straight to DVD..but guess what? Blockbuster doesn’t want that sh*t either.
.
Character is not a photo-op, taking short sojourns to impoverished places, or serially adopting children. Character is what you do when no one is looking, no matter how you attempt to spin or undo it after the fact.
.
Excellent point! So tell Maniston to start walking the walk, instead of trying to guest host nationally televised cancer telethons with 1500 other celebrities, riding Oprah’s charity game show coattails or molesting the St Jude’s kids once a year when she needs to promote some schlocky movie - TELL HER to get her hands dirty and be GENUINE about it - lobby legislators, talk to politicians, sponsor bills, establish foundations that directly save lives and educate children worldwide, pass bills, do the field work…then maybe one day - instead of being bested by the NBA and the 200 other celebs who work for Judes, and want to end cancer (DUH!) she’ll be looked at as more an authentic person who actually cares, INSTEAD of the selfish self absorbed narcissistic eternally tanned & highlighted beachblanket ugly bimbo TV sit-com hack who is just frontin’ so she won’t pale in comparison…not to Jolie, but almost everyone ELSE in Hollywood who does more to help people than Aniston does: YES. That would be all of them. LOL

PT,

I LOLat your post, because that is exactly how I felt when I heard he had left X, and that there might be a possibility he would get together with Angie. I never liked X, and always thought she was a smug, arrogant little b*tch, who believed her own press. I could never understand all the “she is gorgeous” press she got, and I remember one day at work, I showed a male co-worker one of her pictures and asked him if he thought she was beautiful. Of course he said no. :lol:

I work in NYC and everyday I see a dozen or more women who look like, or even better than X, and she has the means to maintain a “beauty” regimen. Much good it does her. :lol:

It got to the point, I didn’t care who he got with after, as long as he left her.

Thanks for the article ladies…

Excuse me, I don’t think that’s Ingber in that photograph…though she does look like her, that’s the director - my bad …point is: she’s. not. that. attractive. But is not so dissimilar from Maniston. lolol

QQQQ,

You know why this b**ch is so disingeneous, if, as she said after the separation, Brad and her had a long talk on the phone, (by the way, she stole that line from Angie, who said that about her and BBT, :lol:), why then all the nasty snarky attacks against Brad in the upcoming months? Why the VF interview? Brad and her separated in Jan 2005, I am sure she knew about the upcoming W pictures done to coincide with the release of M&MS, so why the “missing a sensitivity chip” comment that started all of the acrimony. She is such a freaking liar, that you cant believe anything she says, and she just shows the world….at least those who are paying attention….how fcuked up she really is.

Oh. i mean 7 Jan 2005

I’m in bold - Cliniqua
.
QQQQ @ 12/22/2008 at 10:48 am Please tell exactly what has Brad done to this b*tch. Her words Dec Vogue 2008 - How often do you talk? I ask. “We have exchanged a few very kind hellos and wishing you wells and sending you love and congratulations on your babies. I have nothing but absolute admiration for him, and…I’m proud of him! I think he’s really done some amazing things.”
-
I ask her if she can remember exactly when the post-divorce acrimony receded. “You mean, when were Brad and I healed?” she says.
-
Yes, I say.
-
“Well, it never was that bad,” she says, knowing that it will be hard for a lot of people to believe.
-
Along with being a liar, she a very dumb b*tch. The fact that she says ‘Brad and I,’ had to “HEAL.” Says it was bad. Also, her closest friend, Kristen Hahn in that VF piece, described ‘what she was going through,’ as “a root canal without anesthesia.” I think most of us, know exactly what that would FEEL like, which is precisely why her good pal used that kind of language - at that juncture, she wanted the world’s sympathy, you certainly would FEEL for someone experiencing a root canal without anesthesia - it would be incredibly horrific….yet NOW it’s “not that bad?” It never ceases to amaze me, how these interviewers let her get away with this sh*t.
.
“I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, ‘Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!’
.
Heh-heh. I think Brad did honey. LOL :lol:
.
“It doesn’t feel like a tickle. ”
.
No, it actually feels more like a ‘root canal without anesthesia,’ which is incredibly painful - that’s how you and pals described it, so comparing it to ‘not like a tickle,’ NOW, is all kinds of disingenuous.
.
But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind, I can’t even remember the darkness.I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split.
.
Yeah, it’s “100 years ago,” except when you are rushing right out to buy Angelina’s Vogue - sitting, stewing and marinating about it in the TWO YEARS SINCE, so that you can blast her on Oprah about it TWO YEARS LATER & reference a violent two yr old comic that infers you want to shoot her! Sounds “amicable,” to me - heh. Also dummy, actually calling something “the darkness,” and saying it was “amicable,” in the end - is just one more way of squirming out of discussing that typical grudge-holding, silent treatment she does and trying to explain away just why she decided to try Brad & Angelina in the court of public opinion, and rally the mini-van troops.
.
It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen.
.
They? Whose they? Oh, “they,” as in all of the tabloids you CLAIM not to read. Why would she reference them, when there’s plenty of empirical evidence to show that it was SHE who had the acrimonious relationship, it wasn’t a figment of the tabloids…they just used HER very well-established BITTERNESS to create weekly tasty morsels. You can’t even blame them, given the massive gift they got from her…that no one appears to want to hold her feet to the fire about.
.
I found that hilarious, that of all the tabloid lies and bullsh*t they printed - she references the rare story about Angelina being upset about their supposed communication - which doesn’t happen with the frequency she tried initially to create. Why not say, ‘All those tabloid stories about how I HATE BRAD, and BRAD HATES ME, and ANGELINA HATES ME and I HATE ANGELINA, were a crock of sh*t!!’ Of COURSE she couldn’t say THAT, as then the jig is up. No more acrimony. Best thing to do, to extend the career, is praise Brad and continue the snark and inferred dislike of Angelina. If everyone’s happy, and admiring of each other - no more press for maniston. The kicker for me, was when she says, “this person,” is saying she can’t talk to Brad — hahaha…the old grudgemeister, employing the ’she who will not be named,’ tactic with Angie, that she just finished using this year with Brad. LOL What a tool.
.
The marriage didn’t work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other.
.
Notice she says ‘pretty soon after we separated,’ which would have been BEFORE the Sept ‘05 Vanity Fair ‘Tell All.’ That b*tch was TOAST to Brad after that. LOL
.
Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high. It’s too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself—because I did!.”
.
OMG She’s disputing what Brad said while married to her- he said that they did NOT put happily-ever-after pressure on themselves. she’s SUCH a LIAR.
