Merry-go-fun with BAMZ
Laughing gleefully and clearly having the ride of their lives, Angelina Jolie and four-year-old Maddox didn't seem to mind going round in circles in Paris on Monday. Still on their extended European trip, mother and son were enjoying the delights of the Eiffel Tower merry-go-round, watched by Angelina's partner Brad Pitt, who had his hands full with another young lady, one-year-old Zahara. As well as the carefree carousel jaunt, the Jolie-Pitts also took a leisurely stroll around the fairground, with the raven-haired beauty tucking into some candyfloss.
Brad Pitt, 42, and Angelina Jolie, 30, took their kids Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, for a ride around the carousel at the foot of the Eiffel tower yesterday in Paris, France. Angelina and Maddox mounted their own carousel horses while Brad and Zahara rode in front them of them in the "elephant carriage." (Yes, it looks as ridiculous as it sounds.) It also looks like Angelina has a sweet tooth for cotton candy! Enjoy the ridiculous amount of pictures in the gallery... all 143 of them.

I just love them. Angelina's glowing and Brad looks HOT again! I love the pictures of Angie and Maddox smiling on the carousel. They are just the cutest family.
Thannks. And I love how you desc. the pics. Funny :)
I love ALL the pictures. My top three picks: 1) Angie's HUGE smile on her face on the carousel (she looks like the kid here), 2) Angie sneaking a loving look at Maddox on the carousel, 3) Angie sneaking a loving look at Brad and Zahara on the carousel.
The parents are happy, the kids are happy. I feel guilty looking into their family album, but I do love this site just for this very reason of seeing their family albums.
Also, I almost wish I was in Paris - not because they are there, but because it seems like a "comfortable" place to just be at - to live for the moment. To be with family.
Again, LOVE these pics! They have made my day.
This is a great site. Thanks Jared. Can't go a day without seeing some pics of this happy family.
Keep up the good work.
Who cares about the Jolie haters???
This is an espresso shot in the arm! thanks Jared!
Thanks for all these pics.
I would prefer 10 HQ pics over 142 small ones though ;)
Jared, you are too much! No one does it better than you! These are awesome pics, we all appreciate the time you take with your site.
Love the pics! Thanks JJ for clearing them up! Favorite is the one w/Maddox cracking up having to cover his mouth! Too cute!!
Ahh....Thank you JJ, you Rule!
actually Angie was eating pop corn, the french popcorn taste more like kettle corn, the cotton candy was for Maddox.
Thank you Jared, these pictures are beautiful.They look so happy,great family.
Jared if loving your site is wrong I don't wanna be right.
Z looks adorable in her Daddy's arms. Brad is a happy man, look at how he is shepherding his brood.
Jared:
Thank you so much, You Rock as usual!
Great photograps of the BAMZ. I love seeing them so happy, comfortable and just simply having fun. l
Hello to all the BAMZ supporter!
My favorites are of Maddox covering up his mouth and the ones of both Maddox and Angelina laughing hysterically.
It's great to see them having fun doing the regular family outings. It seems the crowd is respecting their space.
I wonder how much they had to pay to shut down that carousel. Cute pics though.
Beautiful family. Angelina you are ne lucky girl!!!
Go girl!!!
jared, u make my day!! i'm so addicted that i can't focus to my study for the exam tonight....but i luv bamz+1 very much :) :) :)
Thanks Jared! Those are such cute pics. I agree with Cinsy2 - so glad that the crowds are allowing them to have some space. They all look like they're having a great life together. I'm so happy for them!
Thank you JJ for those LOVELY PICTURES!! I don't know who wrote the text about the pictures but let me tell you they are not RIDICULOUS, they just show what a happy family is, and that is not ridiculous, peace out!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Things can't get any better than this "enchanting photos"
Thanks
JJ or anyone out there...
How can we encourage BP/AJ to start an Official BP/AJ website? Not that we want to stop visiting your site JJ...but just MORE INFORMATION on this lovely couple and their growing family.
Did any of you see the entertainment show (which one I forget) were they were saying BP/AJ were starting their photo album of travels? I can't remember therefore I can't find it to see if it's complete.
Doing regular things like us regular folks...I just love it.
Thanks JJ and glad to have you back.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Things can't get any better than this "enchanting photos"
Thanks
"How can we encourage BP/AJ to start an Official BP/AJ website? Not that we want to stop visiting your site JJ...but just MORE INFORMATION on this lovely couple and their growing family."
That's a great idea not so much for it to be official, but a place where we have something more permanent and easily searchable of our discussions and the pictures. I know there are fan sites for both Brad and Angelina but more as separate entities.
It would be nice if there was a constant site for all of us to come together. I've found many intelligent posters here among the various BAMZ picture threads.
How cute is this family? They look so happy, and I'm happy for them!!!
Lovin' the BAMZ+1 over here!!!
They are just too sweet!!!
I'm happy for them. Thanks for the pictures Jared!
Question - I am not seeing text on the pictures - is there a caption for each one?
Well, I live totally near Paris.. I know what I gonna do this weed end.. ! lol I'm kidding. There is always too much people next La tour eiffel so if Pitt and Jolie are here.. I wouldn't imagine.. God.. ! lol :p
Looks like Brad and family may be on the move in October...
In October, Brad Pitt will begin filming Benjamin Button, in which he will play a 50-year-old man who begins aging backwards when he falls in love with a woman 20 years his junior.
Cate Blanchett is in negotiations to play Pitt's lover.
Sounds a little familiar

in May brad will be in mexico..he could not be with angelina when the baby is born
Thanks for the pics Jared, you're a star
I noticed someone mentioned forums to discuss this lovely family, well me and my friend are working on one
http://s11.invisionfree.com/JoliePitt/index.php
Still needs work but you're welcome to join up and post
What a cute family. I'm really happy for them. Look at how happy Maddox was, I recall that in past, he was kind of shy, and we seldom saw him smile in the public, but now we've seen him smilimg more and more. What a terrific job Angie and bard have done. From the happiess of kids, we can know this is truly a happy family. Because kids don't fake.
OMG that's a lot of pics! Thanks JJ, no other site has this many pics. What I want to know is what the guy in red has to say about the couple.
www.rameypix.com
there are several more pic. of Angie laughing and giving Maddox a motherly kiss.
Thanks Jared! love being able to see these bigger and stamp free. Glad to have you back, and now on to some begging.....what's the chances of the pic's from AJ & Mad's outing to Musee de Orsay being on JJ?
Looks like the red coat guy is harrassing them for autograph... Does anyone know more in detail about French papparazzi law? They are not allowed to get too close, right?
Even if Brad is in Antarctica, he will fly back for the birth of the baby. Hmmm that will be tricky to bring around three kids to Mexico though... I hope she stays behind, where ever it will be (Malibu, Paris, etc). What is he doing in Mexico? Shooting movies?
BAMZ are the cutest and loveliest family ever!...thanks jj!!
yeah the pic of her kissing maddox is just two dang on cute.
THERE'S A VIDEO of their merry-go -round....go to
http://splashnews.com/index.html
then click video then click their pic.....ENJOY!
Be Sane:
The red coat guys are running the carousel. The Jolie-Pitts take turn go on the carousel several times. 1st time: Angie and Zahara, 2nd times: Maddox , 3rd times: Angie and Maddox, 4th times: the whole family. I believe on the last run, the Jolie-Pitts purchased the ticket for the whole run for themself.
Be sane, I don't know anything but I'm looking. One thought that has been coming to mind for about a week now. The Jolie-Pitt's are reminding me so much of Paul & Linda McCartney. You know I read somewhere that they had only spent one week apart their whole 30yr marriage. The family packed up, and went on tour with him/her no matter the location. I really see Angelina & Brad attempting this lol.
I really don't see her committing to many more movies, and I see him still making a few, but more focused on running Plan B. JMHO
thanks again Jared. I hope some people join that new site :
http://s11.invisionfree.com/JoliePitt/index.php?
I'm there. Hope its fun
I love this family so much. It's great to see the love Brad & Angelina have for one another and those two children.
Zahara is so beautiful; the pics with her and Brad always melt my heart. *le sigh*
I love your site Jared; one of the few places
I visit on a daily basis. Keep up the fabulous job!! x0x0
poor bgrangie, i feel for them, it's ridiculous how many pictures of them are taken....
oh jared i wanna kiss ur ass...love it!
you totally rock!
those are the sweetest pics!!! they're all so cute!
Angie is one of the biggest hypocrites of our time. I saw a pic of her with a black fendi spy bag... it costs 5.500 dollars... and that Louis Vuitton bag ain't cheap either... Explanation needless.... When did she start with this goodwill shit anyways..? Maybe just trying to look good in a certain persons eyes...? ...and save her ass will she can...
Trust me on this one - is one of the biggest hypocrites of our time.
Trust me on this one - is one of the biggest hypocrites on this page! LOL
I could care less that Angelina Jolie allegedly spent that much on a purse. She can afford it. Its like me spending $55.00 on a purse.
Those are great photos of the Pitt-Jolie family.
I like the one of them on the carousel. (*)
nice to see two movie stars trying to have a family life
Even if Brad is in Antarctica, he will fly back for the birth of the baby. Hmmm that will be tricky to bring around three kids to Mexico though... I hope she stays behind, where ever it will be (Malibu, Paris, etc). What is he doing in Mexico? Shooting movies?
according to the Mexican press brad will be shooting in May in Mexico(http://www2.eluniversal.com.mx/pls/impreso/noticia.html?id_nota=67923&tabla=espectaculos)
Just Jared the Best!!!! estas fotos de BP y AJ son geniales , luces espectacular y muy Felices , Bran ya se lo merecia , ahora tiene la familia que siempre quiso . .. que lindo!!! , me dan ganas de Sonreir , Gracias Just Jared.. Saludos de Latinoamerica, eres el mejor !!
Despit my negative comment... Angie IS the worlds most beautiful woman... Has seen nothing like her... and I think Brad did the right thing...
April... ok... maybe not hypocrite.. How about attention-seeker?
Cindy 2 - I love you.
I so agree... What has Jen really done in terms of handling her divorce with "such class"..? What does people really expect from celebrity women who divorce..? To go and hurt, kill, destroy, bullshit? Also, didn't jen say in GQ that she has a secret wish - that america would move on..? But in the vogue - april cover... she clearly hasn't... with saying "don't feel sorry for me"... I think jen is serious, uptight and thinks way too much... Also, I'm cheesed out by everything she says... Go Brad.. I would have left too...
Great pictures Jared...what can I say. I just love BAMZ. I agree with Lisa..they are the cutest family. Angie makes Brad so happy.
about handling divorce with class. who made pictures in magazine w, went on trips to kenya and cheated on his wife?
please dont forget that and dont pick always on jen. it starts being one sided to blame just her.
of course she is strange in a way, but i am sure there more to it than just not wanting kids or whatever....
the woman gives 1/3 of her earnings to charity. 1/3!!! what she does with the other 2/3 is her own damn business. and not only does she give her money, she gives her time as well. rumor has it that shes already gotten her license to do food drops via airplane in 3rd world countries, and brad is on his way to getting his license as well. let the woman have her fendi and her louis vuitton.
absolute anonymous:
Now I have to become a parrot. Again and Again and Again, here we go AGAIN (with a yawn).
W magazine was featuring a FICTIONAL, UNHAPPY MARRIAGE. It was a PROMOTION for their upcoming movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Kenyan beach was AFTER ANISTON FILED FOR DIVORCE, and at least 3 months AFTER they were seperated. That is not called 'cheating'. If you call this cheating, that makes Aniston looks like she was hoping to get him back. Since she has moved on nicely with someone else, we know she didn't and doesn't want him back.
There was no children in between them, so there wasn't any compelling reason to keep being married after they become dissatisfied with the marriage. They both got nice chunk of the settlment, so this divorce was remarkably issue free EXCEPT FOR THOSE FANS OF ANISTON who cannot take their 37-year old 'girl' lost Brad Pitt. Capiche?
we give 1/3 of our earnings to Uncle Sam too.
As far as, "so there wasn't any compelling reason to keep being married after they become dissatisfied with the marriage."
- well unfortunately, they were MARRIED (all the way until October'05), & so they should've tried harder to keep it that way. so Jen was stupid for not wanting to have kids, but they could've still worked it out better. Instead, there is now this illigit child being born. they all made bad decisions.
p.s. Marriage isn't the same as "dating."
Anonymous "p.s. Marriage isn't the same as "dating."
Of course not, but when do you think people file for divorce? When they WANT to divorce, not when they want to WORK ON the marriage. They have GIVEN UP with each other by March.
Also BOTH of them said 'child' issue wasn't the reason, but you don't believe them either? In the US 50 % of marriages end in divorce. Why should only THEY need to keep the marriage together, with no children in between them? Do you think they were some kind of a 'model' couple? Some people can't get over the fact Aniston lost the 'fairytale prince'. Which btw, SHE herself said, is a complete BS. So please do get over it.
Anonymous illigit child,come on this is 2006 not 1955.Who knows maybe they will get married before the child is born,even if they don't I wish them well,even Jen.This marriage was not to be Jen and Brad were not compatible.I agree with Be sane let it go.
April, I too, confess that "If loving BAMZ is wrong, I don't want to be right"! Just can't help it! Wish they knew how many people love them to death. Who is the guy in so many pictures with gray hair? Also in the news again today is the question of twins or not...will it soon be BAMZ+2?
Thanks for gettin all those pics!!! I adrore them, CUTEST PICS OF THEM YET!
Angie looks so cute & pretty!
The guy in the red jacket pisses me off.
Your the best Jared .Great pictures I love the the BAMZ family.
"April... ok... maybe not hypocrite.. How about attention-seeker? - Trust me on this one | February 21, 2006 07:17 PM
Hey Trust, i like giving attention, if you need some just yell.
Guys, the man w/ GRAY HAIR is their driver/bodyguard. He's often in their pics.
Sure is a lot of pics. They look like they are having a ton of fun. I guess you get used to being photographed and followed around.
Also, I like the new site but the comments box feels a little cramped. Is that a hint not to write a book...lol. I hope not. I got hooked on this site when I stumbled on a very engaging BAMZ thread.
:-)
dolphingirl -
I often come here to peek at new posts and tell myself just for, you know, 10 minutes then back to my homework, or whatever i was doing but then heeheehee...
i guess it just feels good there's a site for BAMZ fans where no real pitchforks from the narrow minded can fly.
Trust me on this: Angie is a wealthy girl who gives away 1/3rd of her money to charity, saves a 1/3rd and spends a 1/3rd. Which means she can afford to wear Gucci, LV or any other designer she so wishes...that has nothing to do with attension seeking, she doesn't even have a publicist or PR people! Attention seeks i.e the rest of the celebrities do..... just because she gives to charity and is using her celebrity for a good cause doesn't mean she should then go shop at target... she is still a movie star and in my eyes a great one..... now just shussh!
This is an absurd discussion - the woman is worth millions and if she wants to buy a damn designer handbag, more power to her. I would also like to point out that she seems to have ONE designer handbag. In picture after picture after picture we have seen that same LV handbag. So, it's not like she has twenty of the same handbag.
Let me restate how rediculous this conversation is.
Oh, and I LOVE BAMZ!!
exactly [February 21, 2006 10:09 PM]...I know what you mean. I am back on this darn thing when I should be getting ready for bed. hee hee. And I think this site has the best posters. Some of the others I have seen have people who can get really nasty. It doesn't bother me at all to poke fun at the stars. I do it myself in jest at times but when posters start getting mean to each other it can be uncomfortable. It makes you not want to engage in the discussion very much.
P.S. above post is not meant to say I think you can't have an opinion. for example, i agree worrying about how stars spend there money is a ridiculous conversation. hee hee. but hey if somebody wants to post about that it's not hurting anybody. that's what the blogs are all about. everybody's opinions.
Thank you jared for making the font larger. I was about to go get some reading glasses.
I eould like to clarify the illegitimate label on the baby. Brad has already legally adopted Mad and Z. His name will be on the birth certificate and the baby's last name will also be Jolie-Pitt. All 3 children will be considered equal under the law.
I have to say that Paris seems to suit the family very well. They appear to have a bit more freedom to enjoy being a family. Love the pictures of Mad and Angie laughing. I don't think I have ever seen them looking so happy ...
dolphingirl - are you in bed? :-)
it's midnight and am still peeking at what's new!
tomorrow - new day, new pic Jared? one is enough for me as long as in it Mad's laughing, Angie's not flying, Brad's simply being his hot self, and Z's cooing.
oh, did the comment font get larger? small mercies for people like us :-)
Hey, Lady Lara, thanks for linking the site of your forum. I will check it out.
It looks like Brad and Angie are doing their relationship the best possible by spending as much time with each. Whenever one is not working, he or she will be on the set with the other. And they make time even when they are filming to visit each other. For actors and musicians, time away from each other is a killer that contributes to each drifting from the other.
Angie visited Brad on the set of Babel, then moving onto staying with him in Canada when he was filming Assassination of Jesse James. Then, Brad joined Angie on both the New York and Dominican Republican sets of The Good Shephard.
I saw a video footage of Joe Perry (of Aerosmith) with his wife talking about how they always toured together as a family and brought their kids along, living in their tricked-out/pimped-out tour bus. They've been married for 20 years, which is remarkable for a rock musician.
With the baby due either in May or June, I think Brad may reschedule the filming in Mexico. George Clooney spoke about the problem of scheduling everyone for Ocean's 13 with everybody having babies. I can't imagine Brad even wanting to miss being by Angie's side as she nears the due date.
About Brad and Angie cheating, I think most people are with you, Be Sane, that there was no cheating. They didn't get together romantically until the divorce papers were filed. Interesting enough, all the entertainment news shows (E! News, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, etc.) have described the newly separated spouses of Heather Locklear/Richie Sambora, Nick Lachey/Jessica Simpson and others as "NEWLY SINGLE" despite none of their divorces being finalized.
On the entertainment news shows, they (Insider, E! News and Entertainment Tonight) showed video footage of BAMZ at the carousel. One of them showed the guy in the red jacket taking the red ticket from Angie as she was sitting on the pony. Angie smiled at him as she gave him the ticket. So I don't think the guy was being a pest.
Hey about the publicity, attention-getting, Jennifer in 2004 was second to Jennifer Lopez with 26 magazine covers (which excludes the tabloids) to J. Lo's 29. We know Aniston has been all over the magazine covers for 2005, as well with Vanity Fair, Elle, InStyle, GQ. Who's the publicity hound?
Mija, you asked about pictures of Angie in the museum. I think one of Brad's sites have a good collection of them. If I can remember where I've seen them, I'll post the link.
Yes, thank you Jared for improving the loading of this comment page. Before whenever I would click on a link within the page and then return, I would be back at the top of the comment instead of where I last left. It may take a little adjusting to get used to the comment column taking 2/3 of the right page. It seems more intuitive if it were on the left as we read left to right. No biggie.
Cindy2 on publicity:
Did you or mija, or someone said Steve Huvane, Aniston's publicist campainged for her to get the Oscar invitation? Does anyone know anything about him? Is he some kind of a big shot publicist? Just curious.
Does anyone know what happened to that rumor Jolie-Pitt seeking Pat Kingsley, former PR person of T Cruise? I guess that rumor was false? I think their 'silence' tactics has finally paid off, that indeed THEY were the classy ones taking care of their family and moving on with their lives.
However, both of them having movies coming out, and they did let a lot of crap pile onto them by the 'other camp', I'm just wondering what they are going to do (interviews, shows).
I for one as a mother, would be so interested down the road, if they have sort of an 'open house' discussing how to balance and handle biological and adopted kids, kids of different culture and color, in one household.
Angie said in Ellen Degenerous interview a few years ago that she wants to mix different cultures and religions in a same household, and that she believes that's how the world should be. It was wonderful and now she is actually doing what she has set herself up to do, AND got a wonderful life-PARTNER (!) who believes in the same value, i would like to know HOW THINGS ARE GOING! Oh well, probably a wishful thinking. I do hope she gets a nanny though. :) There is nothing wrong in getting help!!
Wow, I am so glad to find this blog!!! I am so in-love with this great family of Brad and Angelina. Their kids are so beautiful and so blessed to have such parents like Brad and AJ. Thaks so much for this post. I do so appreciate it!!!
Thanks Jared~ Yep, I along with soooo many others check your site for BAMZ. Love your website. :)
It wasn't I who mentioned that Jennifer's publicist campaigned for her Oscar appearance, though I wouldn't be surprised. Oscar appearances are as much about promotion and publicity as talk show interviews. I don't know how much of a big shot Stephen Huavane is but consider how many magazine covers she's been on for the last several years. Keeping his client in the media is his job. All for what? She was merely a television star on a show that was in its wane in 2003. Survivor was taking away its audience. Interestingly enough, I read somewhere that Jennifer said that Brad controlled the remote control and he was addicted to Survivor.
I'm a bit conflicted on whether Brad and Angie should be like they were as open books about their relationships with separate partners. On one hand, it would be interesting to hear how these seemingly disparate people reconcile each other differences and how they have made each other better. I'd like to hear Brad speak lovingly as he did about Jennifer and Gwyneth. I'd like to hear Brad tell us if fatherhood was everything he had dreamed of and more. I'd like to know if they are completely on the same page of parenting style. Has Brad changed his views on partners for life? Does he still have his chronic sadness? I'm interested in how he's changed.
On the other hand, I want them to live their lives as privately as possible as closed books. Right now, they are guarded about their privacy.
I guess I'll respect whichever route they take.
I think it's noble of Angie to want to raise her children multiculturally and with many religions. It's great that Angie learns about the country and the culture of her adopted children. Broadening one's horizons is always a good thing even without the necessity of adopted children. But I wonder how practical it is to raise children with the different religions.
Buddhism can complement any religion and co-exists with other religions since it doesn't presume itself to be better than any other religion. Siddharta demanded his followers to be critical thinkers and learn about other religions.
Christianity and Muslim are fundamentally offshoots of Judaism. But outside of the belief of the same god, there are major differences and practices among the three. I don't know how Angie could possibly give all the religions equal attention. But there are many interfaith marriages so I guess it's not entirely impossible. Bottom line, though I, myself am not religious, I think learning religion in its historical and cultural context is important.
Well, we'll see soon enough when both have to do promotions for their respective films this year. Brad has at least 2 films to promote while Angie will be promoting The Good Shephard sometime in December before its release.
Mija, here are a collection of small pics of Angie and Maddox' day at Musee D'Orsay

JJ, you are friggin awesome.
I HEART YOU.
i see that she has a new bag/purse. does anyone know what brand is her new bag/purse? thx.
Cindy2, your essay was quite thought-provoking. I would want to hear both of them express their love for each other too, and yet keeping their privacy private is important too and more mysterious. It makes me more interested to know more. In the meantime, it is so awesome to see their family pictures. As the saying goes, action speaks louder than voice.
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
CUTE COUPLE EVER!
Oh god these photos are so cute they're killing me!
I love brangelina!!!
cindy2, your post is very rude and provoking towards other religions than buddism.
i think we are chatting here about brad and co and should keep religion out of it by the way.
offshot,.....i cant believe what i just read.
you should read a lot more than what you know right now, because the dalai lama is a keen supporter of christianity and has dear christian friends.
and not one single christian would think he is better, just that fricking president of usa, that goes off killing people.
keep to chatting about brad, religious thoughts like yours are very fundamental and lead to hate
something is strange about these pictures....angelina is so so so happy as we can all see...but brad is not even smilying...he doesn't have that happy face...
i have never ever posted on any blogs but my love for BAMZ made me post this one. Sigh! what a cute family!!!
bianca...but brad is not even smilying...he doesn't have that happy face....
for you:

brad still loves jenn...but angelina has the children
i have to agree, he doesnt smile a lot. looks very sad actually.
angelina looks very happy now she told evreyone that she is pregnant.
even the one pic of him, doesnt convince me something is strange aboutthe hapy family
Absolutely Annonymous relax ur self. Go back and read what Cindy2 wrote again....carefully. what she said shows no bias to a certain religion. she only stated that it might be kind of hard juggling the different religions and Cindy 2 u r absolutely right. i grew up with with parents from two different religions (christian and muslim) and i recall my my saying how difficult it was in the begining to go against what she was brought up believing but because she love my dad, she did and he also did. So by the time we kids came along, it was a cinch. As a matter of fact it wasn't until i was ten that i realized not everyone celebrated easter and sallah and christmas at the same time. Fasted for Ramadan and as i did for christianity. And i believe it has brought me to a higher spritual level and tolorance. At the end of the day, it all comes down to compromise. I hope she won't seperate the children when it comes to their religions. Let them all learn it together.
Sorry, sorry just needed to add this. the last two pot suggests that Brad is unhappy? Just wondering...what would show u that he is? Him prancing and dancing on the mountain top sing "The Hills are alive..." Come on ppl don't project okay. Look at the pix, smile and sigh (or scowl and curse whatever floats ur boat) but don't PROJECT. Aight, have to go to work now. See u later.
African Girl, thank you for defending me and understanding my post as it was written.
Absolute anonymous, there was nothing rude in my remarks about religion. It is a fact that Buddhism can be practiced with other religions as many Chinese do with Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism. There is no problem for Chinese to blend those religions. Just the same many Jews are Buddhists like Goldie Hawn. It's quite a phenomenon in the States.
It is also a fact that Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. After all, Jesus Christ was a Jew. Islam also is based on the same god from Judaism. The main difference is who is a prophet, and the practices. Judaism preceded Christianity which preceded Islam. All three share the exact same God, though for Muslims they call him Allah.
This discussion is about Brad, Angelina and their children. Angelina has said many times she would love to adopt children and raise them with different religions. I just don't see how that is practical. Something has to give or compromise as African Girl spoke of.
Don't be overly sensitive.
To all the biancas, anonymous, and others out there who think Brad is sad because he doesn;t smile, please go to the TomKat blogs if you want to see all of that overdone smiling act.
To the one that said Brad still loves Jen, if he still does, then he would be with her, children or no children.
I don't know what those posters see, but I see a very happy, content man who "appears" to truly love his new life with Angie and the children. He must be ecstatic to finally have a biological child of his own too. What a wonderful life!
And the post by Cindy2 on religion was not meant to be offensive if you read it carefully. To interpret it differently as a form of offense shows that the reader pretty much made up his or her mind to take offence by it.
excuse me, but are you serious?
i read this and i got it quite clear, what it means:
Buddhism can complement any religion and co-exists with other religions since it doesn't presume itself to be better than any other religion. Siddharta demanded his followers to be critical thinkers and learn about other religions.
Christianity and Muslim are fundamentally offshoots of Judaism.
read before and think before you say something that offends others!
i know jesus was a jew, and i exactly know the diffrence between the religions.
you should stick to gossip rather than trying to explain what relgion means to other people.
i dont know what you are believing, but if you believe in christ you dont believe in allah.
please inform yourself.
i cant believe that this comes out from watching ang pics, give me a brake

Thanks BJ.
Yeah, it's amazing how the haters just want so badly for Angelina and Brad to fail they project their own unhappiness onto Brad's face. Yet, we clearly see Brad smiling in several pictures and enjoying his outing with family. With that picture of both Angie and Maddox laughing their heads off, who the hell do the haters think was making them laugh? Was it Brad's sad, depressed face?
They need to get it through their head that Brad is in love with Angelina for him to personally arrange special nights for him and Angie to spend alone to balance out the time with their children, whom they no doubt miss and think about as they are having their romantic nights. The fact is Brad is still wearing the special ring that Angie gave him. Rings are symbolic of a special relationship, especially they are the first dead giveaways of a marriage in ruins when spouses don't wear their rings (except for those marriages where the spouses never believed in wearing rings to begin with).
I see I'm dealing with someone in absolute anonymous with problems in reading.
You better inform yourself that the Muslim god, Allah is the same god as Yaweh of Judaism. And Abraham is the patriach.
I didn't say Muslims worship Jesus. But you better get your facts straight that Muhammed did acknowledge Jesus Christ's existence. African Girl can back me up on that one.
If anyone is ignorant of religion, it's you. You better learn the history of the major religions. Stop arguing what you don't even know.
Cindy2 don't bother.
Ignorance knows no bounds and some (absolute anonymous) just wants to change this thread from a positive to negative. DO NOT LET HIM/HER!!!
Everyone experiences religion in their own way and applies it to their life.
Ri's (sorry Rica) right we were raised pentacostal attended a Church of God and Christ until 12 then an Assembly of God parish. Our grandmother is a pastor and we were sent to catholic schools until highschool. Finally when we started College, our mother embraced the Muslim faith and now our brother is a budhist. We've learned quite a bit religiously.
See...it's all in how you apply it.
Absolute anonymous, I like ur passion for what u believe, u don't see passion like that these days. "You say if you are christian, u can't believe in allah" or something to that effect. I won't jump down ur throat claiming that u r wrong b'coz the truth is u r not the only one who thinks that but I would like u to do me a favor, do a little research on the koran or the bible (whichever one is not used by ur religion). Direct that passion into finding what the book is all about. At the end of the day, I hope u will come to the understanding that although the doctrines might be different, the fundamental purpose is the same - reaching a higher level of sprituality, believeing in one God, and understanding that we r all here to serve a purpose. In the end, evil is still evil and good is still good, the differences in these doctrines will not change that. Jehovah, Allah, Yaweh, Alpha Omega no matter what name is used, it is still God. Being a muslim or christian is just like looking something from a different vantage points the things that pass by ur line of vision as u look at this thing might be different from what passes by mine but that does not mean we r seeing two different things (does that make any sense?) Now, I know muslim have gotten a lot of bashing in recent yrs because of the zeolots but remember, these set of ppl r not a representative of islam as a whole. They have taken one particular part of the quoranout of context and come to believe that the r doing what allah has commanded. On the other side of the coin, there r also christians who r zealots, who also take a particular verse of the bible out of context and they also do not represent christianity as a whole. My point is I want u to get the understanding the statement "if u r a christian, u can't worship allah" is not a fact. I won't be offended if u thought these r just ramblings from a lunatic because my religion...both of them teaches me tolorance for those who r or whose opinions differ from mine.

my point is that religion is not a shop or potburrey.
you have zo know what you believe.
i am tolerant, i have a lolt of friends from other religions, i work with people from different countries.
but you have to know, that the bible is different the koran bussidm. there are similarities and lots of respect.
itprobbly is an american style to mix things up as it is convinient.
i am not a fan of otehr people saying my reliogion is a shootoff. there is my respect for otehrs. be respectful towrads things that are sacred to others
To the person that commented about Brad's "sad " face. do you think maybe he is sad because he cannot enjoy a day in the park, restaurant or being on vacation with his family without having the paps all around him or having a bunch of people with their own cameras and cell phones flashing them and not allowing them to live without their every moment being filmed and not letting their kids enjoying play time without making them being center of attention.
thanks for the pics love seeing angelina smile
Just simple lovely. You're the best as usual. Thanks, Jared! :*
I'm with you Cindy2 [February 22, 2006 02:12 AM]...I would love to see Brad do a new sit down interview and answer all kinds of questions. That would be very interesting but privacy should come first of course. So we'll see what happens, maybe after the baby comes :)
bianca [February 22, 2006 07:25 AM]...regarding Angie looking so happy and carefree and Brad not...maybe he is concerned a bit about the vulnerability of being out in such a public place. I'm sure he was very much enjoying seeing the happy time his family was having. but first concern and certainly foremost on his mind was their safety. They are an ever growing brood :)
Gosh, there are a couple new BAMZ threads I haven't even gotten too. I'm still riveted to two other ones and they are BOTH still going! I love it!
exactly [February 22, 2006 12:08 AM]...yes I was in bed! I was being a good girl after one last peek at my favorite blogs :)
Rica, I will take your advice.
I have nothing to back down or apologize for in my comments about religion. If that person wants to continue with his or her tantrum by being offended by what I said, I'd suggest he or she learn to read and research religion better.
Thanks again to African Girl for trying to debate my points for me.
