Pitt Sees Green

In New Orleans

Enjoy this new still from Brad Pitt's upcoming film Babel, opening October 6, 2006 (limited release). The Associated Press recently interviewed Brad on the announcement about his New Orleans design competition.  Listen to the audio of Brad being interviewed by AP below via silverthoughts!  Here's the article — Brad Pitt called Thursday for people to submit proposals for an environmentally friendly design competition he is sponsoring to rebuild parts of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
   
"Our goal is to kick off the rebuilding effort. It's certainly long overdue and I can only go from the reports that we get ... that it's behind, absolutely. People are frustrated," Pitt said by telephone from Namibia.

"We could possibly build something that was better and took into account the historical traditions of the city and the voices of the people and turn this into some kind of good," the actor added.

Pitt, who is currently in the southern African country with actress Angelina Jolie and their children, is teaming up with Global Green USA, a national environmental organization, on the design project. (continued after the jump)


(continued before the jump) Pitt will lead a jury made up of architects and local leaders to choose designs by six finalists who will then work with local neighborhoods on more detailed proposals for environmentally sound buildings.

The open competition will focus on the Holy Cross neighborhood in the impoverished Lower 9th Ward. Designs will be submitted in June and the finalists chosen in July.

Pitt described his reaction to watching the scenes of the devastation caused by Katrina. "Truthfully, I dare say we witnessed, to our shame, the fact that there's a portion of our society that's being dismissed and that needs to be rectified and I thought that was a real casualty overall from the event."

Pitt said it was both the humanitarian and design elements of the project that interested him.

"Good architecture is not about building a pretty box and putting it on a piece of land. It's about the needs of the people inhabiting it. It's about the sun, wind, the temperature of the place, their well-being, their quality of life, they go hand in hand. Good architecture cannot exist truthfully without good will," he said.

Pitt said he has a huge interest in architecture.

"I am a bit of a junkie. It's inexplicable really. I believe we creatures are very susceptible to our surroundings. They can actually improve our mode of life and I personally am very affected ... when I walk through an intelligent building. It inspires me," said Pitt. "To me it's like walking through a piece of art and, coupling that now with the green movement of the smarter architecture — of the healthier buildings with great design — is a very exciting prospect to me."

Matt Petersen, president of Global Green USA, said that Pitt had "really educated himself not just on architecture, but green design as well. We'll probably have a vice-chair as well on the jury to help Brad. There will be a lot of experienced people on there as well as Brad."

The impetus for the competition stems from both a desire to help rebuild the devastated city, and to ensure that at least some of the reconstruction occurs in an environmentally-aware manner that reflect a vision of New Orleans in the future.

"As the rebuilding process in New Orleans begins in earnest we want to ensure that the designs and construction embrace principles of sustainable design and green building," Petersen said.

"What we're doing can help provide a spark for the rebuilding of New Orleans and to do it differently. If we build the right buildings now, we're not going to have to tear them down. They will be more disaster resistant," he added.

Anyone can pre-register from today for the competition although final details on the jury and the brief will not be released until mid-May. The finalist presentation and jury review will take place before the first anniversary of Katrina on Aug. 29.

Global Green, the US arm of former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's Green Cross International, is providing technical assistance in green standards for 10,000 buildings in New Orleans. The standards include energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, clean energy sources and healthy building materials.

Pitt declined to answer questions about the upcoming birth of his biological child with Jolie. "Absolutely not," he laughed.

There is widespread speculation that Jolie intends to give birth in Namibia and that the couple plan to marry there.

Pitt would only say that he had a warm welcome there. "Namibia's just a country we're very fond of. It's a beautiful land and hospitable people and a place that we want to be for the time being," he said.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: Fight Club Reaches Namibia
By Jesse Smith
Apr 21, 2006

Maddox, Angelina Jolie's oldest adopted child, is learning what money can buy. He has listened to Mickey Brett, their bodyguard, verbally threaten people with cameras sitting in public cafes and walking on public beaches.

He has witnessed the often painful pepper spray dousing of a paparazzi on a public beach and the physical assault of another trespassing on private property. Would not the appropriate response have been to detain the trespasser and summon the local police rather than to beat the pap to a pulp?

***

Apparently Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have the support of the governor, mayor and local police chief when it comes to taking the law into their own hands.

This is what large charitable donations to a region can buy. The rights and freedoms of locals and tourists have less priority than largely imagined security risks to these humanitarians. Swakopmund is a peaceful community of law-abiding citizens.

***

There is no physical threat to these stars that justifies the use of former members of an apartheid-era counter-insurgency force. And the breaches of privacy are to be expected by public figures who court publicity at other times.

Dear Brad,

On behalf of Katrina displaced BAMZ fans all over the country, I thank you.

Wow African Girl- No offense to you, but Brad makes some announcement for publicity about "sponsoring" something (after Jolie by the way told America Africa was more important than Katrina) and you are "in awe"??? You seriously must not have many people to admire in your life. If you are "in awe" of these two publicity manipulating jackasses who now are endangering their unborn child by giving birth in Namibia just for attention and to be cool, rather than at a first rate hospital, you need to read more and get out a little more. Fortunately the general public is on to these two dimwits and their fraudulent PR campaigns. Expect more of this when the baby arrives, to deflect attention from when she conceived. Hint- he was still married. Unlike you fanatics, the rest of the world finds them repulsive. They are total hypocrites, using former apartheid gorillas as cheap labor to harass people. Seriously, what a couple of self-absorded egomaniacs. I hope for your sake you find someone more worthy of your "awe". I'm kind of sad for all of you at how much you're going to be hurt and let down when these two start cheating on each other and break up. What ever will you do? Who will you fawn over?

By the way, I heard your beloved Angelina just signed on for another Womb Raider movie. I guess she either needs the cash or can't find any serious roles besides cartoon characters. Maybe she's not so in demand any more? I think the public is done with these two, so I hope they don't run through all their savings too fast- it gets expensive all these private jets, islands, entourages, armies, entire resorts, etc. I heard they spent over $300,000 on this trip alone. What was that Jolie was saying about how stars spend too much on themselves for unnecessary luxury items? Can you say "hypocrite"!!LMAO

this"PUSSY" is trying to do anythink for having on "oscar"!!stop dreaming puppy you're not talented like george clooney ! and you can never be johnny deep ! you are just an idiot !and you will be forever!! stop wasting your time puffy!!!

It is so sad that people like people "pitbull" are full of such hate? Why can't people wish everyone the best....I wish brad much success and jen much success ...shit happens , let it go people.

wow # 11 your life must suck, you have to post on a site of someone you hate? nothing better to do with your time? what a loser.

# 12 | pitt bull
you're not talented"

Brad Pitt was already NOMINATED for an Oscar, which means it's a matter of time and the right role to come along. Now that he is with an OSCAR WINNING, REAL MOVIE ACTRESS his future is brighter than ever.

I'm glad Brad's doing something to help. NO and other areas hit by the hurricane are still in shambles. Not much has been done since the hurricane hit. Thanks Brad for caring.

The question about his upcoming fatherhood was so funny, "Absolutely not!" and the both laughed wholeheartedly. "I had to ask" ROFL

oh good acting ! good acting! how do you know if it's a good acting ? did you see the movie? or maybe you're a which! just as your mistress whichlina who knows

How can some people , have so much hatred for people they never met, we don't know these people, we read magazines and interviews , but we don't know these people...It is quite sad and shows that behind the hateful words thrown around, things are lacking in these haters lives, I would never want to be judged by people who are clueless to who I am. It is the same situation with brad, jen , angie, vince...How anyone could say hateful things toward anyone trying help their fellow man is beyond me...what horrible human beings fill the earth,, that is why so many problems are in the world , haters need to get off their asses and do some good in the world.

# 11 | BradShitt

Do you own a car? That money builts three schools in
Cambodia. Shame on you or your family for driving.

# 19 | sad

I really don't think the haters can help themselves. To write the things they do even behind the safety of a computer screen tells me that they have no heart and that their lives are filled with hate and unhappiness. You're right. It is sad.

#11 Bradshitt

Yeh, sock it to these bitches hard!!! When truth glares at them in the face, all they can do is shout "hater"!

#12/ Pittbull
Hey, no offense taken. You know I was going to tell you why I am in awe of this man but I realized that boiled down to the essentials, you are like a child playing with alphabets......on offense of course.

So, anyone is that Brad Pitt on the phone coz he looks like Clooney in Syriana or is it just me?

African Girl,

That's Brad in Babel.

no matter what bamz haters will say & keep saying only the time will tell the ture for exmple magzine said alot and wrote alot of negitve thought about B&A but the time brove them worng BP voice in the interview show how much he is happay in nambia with his family & ready for they baby arrive .
for JA i think she should move on and think many time befor she take any new step in her life i wish all to be happay & get what they wont in this life .

all BAMZ don't care or give hetars any attantion best way is ingor them at all.

haters cannot moved on,they simply hate brad for leaving his x.....when is brad gonna have a child of his own?when his 80?he might have parkinson by then.give him a break haters,go away.

Thanks JJ for the video/verbal interview.

I read about this last week and I've starting call all my connections to see how I can get involved with this project and see if Brad (and if Angie and the kids will be with him) stay at my hotel.

Finally some rebuilding in New Orleans! If you're not from here you can't imagine how or what things are like. We have an election this weekend and everything is crazy...if the US Gov. can let our soldiers vote while in Iraq the question is why can't they set up satelite voting stations throughout the US for our NO residence? Getting a new Mayor or someone who wants the fame and fortune in office is not the best thing. Our city looks like Iraq...all the low income areas are being forgotten about...only the rich or middle class can afford to live here without the everday stress of how am I going to pay for this or that.

I think it's a great idea for Mr. Pitt to come down and help or give some money and PR to the rebuilding of New Orleans. I think when he ACTUALLY sees the area..he may think he has taken on too much...the area he's focused on doesn't look anything like downtown...at all.

All in all...any help is help. Glad and happy to listen and he sounded very happy...can't wait for baby Jolie-Pitt!!!

My post was for #11 Bradshit. Fearing that I had refered to some one who didn't deserve, I looked at #12 and thought oh well still applicable. #12, you can have any leftovers...if any, from #11.

Is it me, or has this guy TOTALLY evolved into more than just a pretty face. It is so great to see the deepth behind him. I love what they are doing for EVERYONE!! I wish them the best and I can't wait to see the CHERUB they produce. What a happy story they bring to Hollywood.. no matter how they got there to all the haters.. it is so refreshing to see a HAPPY, REALLY IN LOVE, GENEROUS couple!!! Much success to EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH!!!

why are playing this comedy little dog you are so shameful for what you did huh ! you trying to be nice and save the poors ouhhlala what a hero !! why you didn't that before huh! oh exuse me "THERE WERE NO POORS BEFORE AND AFRICA WAS RICHE!!!!"we all saw your real face now!don't try to do somethink else for your nice image !! you're too late! oh yes i forget that you have no personalty next week whorlina gonna change her self into a man please! please! don't do that stay as what you are!! you're so funny!AND SHE GONNA SAVE POOR ALIENS ON "XCOUDOF" READY GOOOOO! GOOO! YES!! GOOD BOY!!!

In response to #9 Bradshitt

First of all, the fact that apartheid era counter insurgency force
being used is a matter of tabloid reporting or speculation which
may not even be true. My recollection of the article which made
this allegation did not even refer to a force but rather to an
individual who was allegedly a member of the apartheid era
enforcers.

Secondly, even if a person was a true white supremacist during
the apartheid era, many have changed their views. Perhaps the changes are
superficial but they are trying. My neighbours are South
Africans and good friends. but her father in law was a Bible thumping, dutch reform church true white
supremacist because that is what he has been taught since the
day he was born. However, since the fall of apartheid he has
learnt to change his views. He has acknowledged his allegiance,
first as a South African and then as a white. He realised that south
african hasn't after all fallen apart when the indigenous africans
took over. Do I refuse to shake his hand when he is introduced to
me??

Thirdly, and most importantly, in south Africa, people who have been actively involved in
persecution in the name of apartheid have been held accountable
in the truth and reconciliation court which was led by Bishop Tutu
and sanctioned by President Mandela and members of the ANC
itself. Those who have participated are now reintegrated into
society. I will respect the will of the South African people to
forgive the oppressors and to create a rainbow nation. If they can
forgive and move on, then I will not judge those who participated
in apartheid's oppression.

I'm not forgetting the crimes of apartheid and they were
horrendous. The utter degradation apartheid tried to impose on
black south africans, the christian justification of the repression
(the dutch reform church were full participants in apartheid and
provided the religious theological underpinnings of the
oppression) is indescribably awful. I am myself an overseas
Chinese and grew up in South East Asia (consider Indonesia,
Malaysia) and have an idea of what it is to be a second class
citizen with fewer rights to the majority. But nothing I've ever
experienced comes close to apartheid. I was shocked when I
learnt about the injustices of the apartheid system. But I will
take my cues from the Africans who have been the victims of
apartheid and now live side by side with their former oppressors.

This is why Nelson Mandela is a great man. thanks to him, South Africa has managed to stave off, at least for now, racial riots, blood shed. Had a massacre happened, I would not have blamed the black South Africans. The injustices, the oppression, the deprivation of choices for the black south african (do you know that black south african did not have a university in south africa till the 1980s?? what a waste of talent). It is truly wonderful that they have been able to at least try to build a rainbow nation and forgive. If that's what they want then the least I can do as an outsider is not point accusationary fingers at apartheid era enforcers.

#27 Me Again!

how are things in n.o.? i haven't been back since my grandmother's funeral in late october.

Endangering their Baby?
***
Please there are places in the US were a newborn is more endangered than where BP and AJ are.

Pitt and Jolie are happy, and living their life the way they know best and some people are sad because they are happy.......please haters, by all means, channel your energy to something more positive for your own development........

Hey fellow BAMZ+1 fans, There are some people in here that forgot to take their Meds today, such vicious comments. I came to the conclusion that the haters in here cannot function without bashing BP & AJ, that is the only thing in their miserable and pathetic life that keep them going and that is sad real sad

how about you"REAL HATERS" when you wishe death to jennifer and puts your shits and blame others celebrities huh???????

They're married already. He is wearing his wedding band. I thought they were already married. Congrats to the Gorgeous family.

Hey #36, please tell us where we wish death to JA and where did we blame other celebrities

# 30 You can't write, you can't spell, you can't express a coherent
thought. And you're drooling.

In response to those who predictably call Brad a hypocrite for
helping in Katrina:

If those living in New Orleans who will be helped by this project
are happy and grateful, who are you to judge whether his help
has merit or not?? Let those who are affected be the judge. If
the New Orleaneans (is that what they are called) say they don't
want Brad's help coz he's a two timing hypocrite (and they can
coz these are Americans and have access to the media and the
internet), then fine. Otherwise, who are you to talk for your fellow
americans (assuming you are americans). And if you are not
americans, who are you to say anything at all about Brad helping
the people of New Orleans. They may actually be happy and
grateful for the help and media attention. After all, it looks like
not like a lot has been done for them in the last 6 months has it?
No more telethons to raise funds, no more George bush touring
the area looking concerned.

#40 lylian

we're new orleanians. and, i, for one am grateful. although i don't live there anymore and don't have plans to return, i would like to see the city rebuilt and thriving.

#9 and #11 Believing every word of an article written by reporters angry they can't get to B&A is naive and printing pieces of it here to stir up trouble is a ridiculous attempt to get your own attention. There people have not courted it at all. And the locals and the government are behind them -- not one has said one bad thing, only cameramen and trespassers and frustrated gossip reporters.
Hint: If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie conceived while he was still married, she would have been pregnant for at least 15 months by now! Maybe you need to study human genetics and not gossip news.

wow i can 't wait to see this movie brad looks so sexy.lol

#11 What do you mean by "cheap labor"? Do you know how much they are getting paid? And in one breath you say they are spending too much money, the next they are employing cheap labor. Make up what little mind you have!
Besides, you are boring. You have nothing really to say, so you are flailing around as we appreciate something you can't. Don't you have anything new or interesting to say?

God Bless the Jolie-Pitt family. For all their kindness and love for others. I love this family.
Brangelina fan

If more locals were upset in Namibia than we would be hearing more stories. The story that keeps being told is from last sunday and not even from a local newspaper. With so much interest in BAMZ the Associated Press or Reuters would pick up a local story if it were about BP and AJ. Also most of the complaints were coming from the paps not the people living there.

#33 Alero You make a lot of sense, which people who thrive on negativity cannot understand.
Some people are so provincial as to think the U.S. is the only place where anything that counts happens. Only hospitals in the U.S, are good enough, only birthing in a big city like L.A. is the correct way to go. They can't fathom that there is medicine just as advanced and oftentimes better than in the U.S. elsewhere in the world.
If these people actually think that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who have dedicated themselves to helping people, especially helpless children, would endanger their own baby, then they cannot possibly understand big, abstract concepts like relationshps, world affairs, humanitarian efforts without a personal agenda, etc. That is why they cannot understand these two people. Alero, you can make all the sense in the world, but that is something that eludes the haters.

OK, last thing I'm going to write tonight. I hate having to refer to
Africans as blacks. whether it is black south african or black
americans or black brazilians. I would not like it if I was referred
to as yellow and have never referred to myself as yellow. I hate
referring to anyone but the colour of their skin.

That's why as far as possible, I prefer to type African American. I
know African Girl and others are African or have African blood. Do
you mind? Shouldnt you mind? I really liked it when Tiger Woods
firmly refuted that he was "black". He said he was thai/
jamaican,african american. (he made up a name for that which
I'vve forgotten"). Your thoughts please.

Oops, sorry, I wanted to edit my post #48 to say, I don't like
referring to "whites" either.

#23 African Girl
I thought the same thing! Very Clooneyesque looking! But on closer examination it IS Brad. And you are right -- he is AWEsome and deserves your respect! Jeez, people now angry over his helping Americans. What next -- angry that they hold Maddox's hand? Angry that someone sent a card to their mother on Mother's Day?

Lylian, I always like to read your posts. Thank you for your thoughtful, informative posts.

To those of you who say that Brad is a hypocrite and is just doing this competition for some kind of publicity, I must ask you: what have you done or what are you doing to help Katrina's victims? It's quite easy to sit at a computer and type about how Brad is this and that, but at the very least he is mobilizing an endeavour that has the power to help hundreds of people and help rebuild a city. Any Brad fan (and I am very proud to say I am one) will tell you that he has often talked of loving archetecture and, despite what many tabloids will print, has talked of wanting to help others, even before he and Angelina got together. So why must some of you be so negative? Are you planning your own rebuilding project and are afraid that Brad's will get in the way? Are you planning on donating thousands of dollars to Katrina victims and feel that Brad's generosity is unnecessary because of it? It's unfathomable to me that anyone could possibly condemn a person for trying to do a good deed; as long as that deed gets done, why question the motive? I firmly believe 100% that Brad is doing this because he wants to help people. If you believe otherwise, I suppose it's your right, but I would seriously question whether you think that because the competition seems suspicious or useless, or because you're still bitter about the whole Brad/Jen divorce and subsequent Brad/Angie hook up. But that's all I'm gonna say on that. I am extremely proud of Brad for doing this project and I wish him all the best with it.
Btw, that Babel poster looks amazing! Can't wait to see the film. Should be a great, especially with Cate in it as well.

#32...you ask how are things in the big NO...

Not good...No housing and the jobs that are available can't start to help/pay for the amount of repairs needed to these struggling familes. No one is staying in NO East which you now is where all of our AA people lived and the workers who get min. wage or maybe $1-2 dollars more than min. The city and companies want the people to come back but no where to live, can't get FEMA trailer when needed...which is now. Hotels are telling people they need to vacate because the city wants to house the tourist instead of the people who are here to rebuild the city...oh you can stay in a hotel but what average joe for NOEast can pay $199+ a night to rebuild their homes. I know we have to get the tourist in the city to bring some kind of revenue...but there's no place for the people to live to get things started. I had a guy from my hotel who finally got his trailer but could not get water/lights...so what good is the trailer if they don't have water/lights. The the electric company wants to charge the residence since Aug 2005 for bills when people have not live here snce then...they want thousands of dollars or the lights won't be turned on...so imagine trying to pay that, rent an apartment along with other bills on a salary of $8/hour (and that's being generous). I make $45K/yr and I'm struggling with my bills. You can't get any help from Gov....AT ALL. So I'm trying my best so I know how someone making $20K feels. It's a mess.

Does anyone know the plot of Babel? I hope Brad goes to Cannes ... however, it seems unlikely 'coz it may coincide with the birth of the baby.

I am 100% African.........born and raised in the jungle (a jungle baby I was) LOL. Really I careless what people choose to call me..........for all I know am a human being, one of God’s creations, just like all living things in this world. Never will I stress myself about people’s stupidity or name calling. By the way, am proud to be an African......for that i am :))))

Wouldn't it be great if the HATERS put all that energy into helping people who have been left with nothing instead of making hateful and sick comments on choices made by two people they do not even know. I have gone to the Lake Charles La area and did my best to help those who Hurricne Rita harmed. Many buildings are still covered with BLUE TARPS or are sill uninhabitable. Many NO residents are in the area, want to go home, but have no home to go to. Whatever BP does to help is WONDERFUL! He does not have to do anything, but he IS. WHY WOULD YOU HATERS SPEAK OUT AGAINST ANYONE HELPING IN THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION? HATERS HAVE COMPUTERS, ELECTRICITY, TRY HAVING ONLY THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK, A FEW ITEMS IN A PAPER BAG, FAMILY LIVING IN 7 DIFFEERENT STATES, AND YOUR HOME GONE!! HATERS have mental health needs that are untreated, because if they were on the proper meds they would certainly realize that to be obsessed with the PERSONAL LIVES AND CHOICES of others means that HATERS ARE SICK!! HATERS NEED TO STOP THIS!! If you do this as a JA fan, you are not listening to JA. She is getting on with her life, and wants people to do the same. JA DOES NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THE "BERMUDA TRIANGLE", her words. Are HATERS perhaps so angry because BP loves and is loyal to the members of his multiracial and multicultural family so much? BP loves AJ and AJ loves BP. BAMZ+1 is a FAMILY! HATERS perhaps are not brave enough to express their true beliefs so instead they take another low road. NO ONE KNOWS what happened with AJ and BP. They have not said ONE WORD. IT IS THEIR BUSINESS, NOT YOURS OR MINE! JA has not said one word. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE OTHERS? ARE HATERS so consumed with HATE that they have deluded themselves into believing they have the right to sit in judgement of others but allow no one to judge them. BACK OFF BP AND AJ! TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN LIVES! EXTEND YOURSELF AND HELP OTHERS! WHATEVER BP DOES IN NO IS MORE THAN THE US GOVERNMENT IS DOING AS US GOVERNMENT IS TOO BUSY GIVING OUT PACKETS OF 1000 BILLS IN IRAQ. NOW FEMA (US GOVERNMENT)WANTS PEOPLE WITHOUT JOBS TO PAY BACK MONEY. HATERS NEED TO HATE THAT!

Okay i found these two comments on another site and i have to say i totally agree!

"Obviously Brad did not realize he needed americas permission to leave his wife. Shame on you Brad! For that you will never get any praise for all your kind acts. Stop helping poor people! Alot of people don`t like poor poeple being helped. The fact that alot of them are orphans do not impress your critics. They think you and Angelina are silly for giving millions of dollars to help desperate people. Since they wouldn`t even give $5. Angie should stop feeding orphans and start posing nude on magazine covers like jen Aniston. I for one think Angie and Brad are far better role models than jen. Brad is and always will be a sexy man. The people who can`t give credit to good people for doing good things are the ones that stink!"

"HOW IRONIC, THAT BRAD PITT WAS THE DARLING OF THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD, UNTIL HE DITCHED A BLONDE BEAUTY?, FOR A GORGEOUS DARK BEAUTY. ALL OF A SUDDEN JENNIFER IS SO BRAVE AND WONDERFUL, REGARDLESS TO ALL HER FLOPS SINCE "FRIENDS", AND HER RELUCTANCE OR INABILITY TO PROCREATE. COME ON PEOPLE, I'D HEARD OF FEDERLINES SMELLS AND WONDERED HOW YOU COULD ALL CONSIDERED HIS BLONDE MATE TO BE SO WONDERFUL TO PUT UP WITH IT.
NOW OUT OF THE BLUE BRAD SMELLS TO. DID JENNIFER TELL?"

Very good post. I sincerely commend you for your patience and deligence in trying to educate these silly people. Please don't be offended, if the same pointless posts come up again, see there is no one as sturbborn as a fool when you try to make them think.

I don't mind what you call me, African, African American, Black...whatever. I am not offended by things like that, it does not take away from who and what I am. So do whatever makes you comfortable.


Alero
I completely agree with you. The paps are smarting from all their efforts coming to nought so they exaggerate the situation. Trust me, if there was an issue, we'll hear about it. We Africans can be very vocal when we think we are been "oppressed", money & celebrity status be damned...lol.
Oppress us once, shame on you. Oppress us twice, shame on us...type thing (there is no quote like that, just made it up. Lol)

Wouldn't it be great if the HATERS put all that energy into helping people who have been left with nothing instead of making hateful and sick comments on choices made by two people they do not even know. I have gone to the Lake Charles La area and did my best to help those who Hurricne Rita harmed. Many buildings are still covered with BLUE TARPS or are sill uninhabitable. Many NO residents are in the area, want to go home, but have no home to go to. Whatever BP does to help is WONDERFUL! He does not have to do anything, but he IS. WHY WOULD YOU HATERS SPEAK OUT AGAINST ANYONE HELPING IN THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION? HATERS HAVE COMPUTERS, ELECTRICITY, TRY HAVING ONLY THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK, A FEW ITEMS IN A PAPER BAG, FAMILY LIVING IN 7 DIFFEERENT STATES, AND YOUR HOME GONE!! HATERS have mental health needs that are untreated, because if they were on the proper meds they would certainly realize that to be obsessed with the PERSONAL LIVES AND CHOICES of others means that HATERS ARE SICK!! HATERS NEED TO STOP THIS!! If you do this as a JA fan, you are not listening to JA. She is getting on with her life, and wants people to do the same. JA DOES NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THE "BERMUDA TRIANGLE", her words. Are HATERS perhaps so angry because BP loves and is loyal to the members of his multiracial and multicultural family so much? BP loves AJ and AJ loves BP. BAMZ+1 is a FAMILY! HATERS perhaps are not brave enough to express their true beliefs so instead they take another low road. NO ONE KNOWS what happened with AJ and BP. They have not said ONE WORD. IT IS THEIR BUSINESS, NOT YOURS OR MINE! JA has not said one word. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE OTHERS? ARE HATERS so consumed with HATE that they have deluded themselves into believing they have the right to sit in judgement of others but allow no one to judge them. BACK OFF BP AND AJ! TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN LIVES! EXTEND YOURSELF AND HELP OTHERS! WHATEVER BP DOES IN NO IS MORE THAN THE US GOVERNMENT IS DOING AS US GOVERNMENT IS TOO BUSY GIVING OUT PACKETS OF 1000 BILLS IN IRAQ. NOW FEMA (US GOVERNMENT)WANTS PEOPLE WITHOUT JOBS TO PAY BACK MONEY. HATERS NEED TO HATE THAT!

my family's house is in n.o. east--we're not poor, but we're not independently wealthy, either. i hear that the houses must be raised 3 to 8 feet and that the estimated cost of that is at least $40k on top of everything else rebuilding will cost. some of my family have returned and have trailers, but must stay in hotels because of the water/electricity issue. it's truly, truly sad. i think this part is worse than the hurricane. i had hoped that the city would galvanize and have the spirit of lethargy broken, but i guess now it's "laissez les mavais temps roule!"

anyway, what hotel do you work in? i used to work at the wyndham on canal.

Good for him! I liked the fact when he was asked about the baby, he wasn't an asshole, he just laughed and he UNDERSTOOD that she had to ask that question. The man sounds relaxed, very happy, and can't wait for the birth of his THIRD child! ROCK ON BRAD!
ROCK ON BAMZ+1

It's good/bad to see nothing has changed here. First, thank you
Jared for the pix and interview. Great to see and hear about Brad's
new endeavour. That man is revealing that there is more and

more depth to him since moving on with his life with AJ. He should
be commended for that, instead, those idiotic posts of #11 & 12,
who obviously have the intelligence level of a nit, and cannot fully

comprehend what his interview explains, re rebuilding in New
Orleans. Posting the statements of disgruntled photographers
who have been thwarted in their pursuit of getting photos of this

family in Namibia, bears absolutely no weight in their rediculous

reasoning that BP is only doing this as a PR stunt. BTW, African

Girl is not the only one in awe of BP. There are countless others, all

over the globe, like myself, who have traveled and experienced life

in many countries, and cultures, and not afraid to broaden our

minds with real facts, not just from those supermarket tabloids.

Tearing down someone who is trying to do some good in this

world shows a very flawed character, someone who is weak, and

cowardly, hiding behind a facade of a bully. Anyway, it's good to be

back, and glad that AJ did not have that precious one while I was

gone. There are so many posts in the other BAMZ threads that I

may never catch up. Cheers to all the BAMZ+1 lovers.

post #61 is addressed to Me Again!

Me Again
I am really sorry to hear that. It's sad to see things have become that bad. Like BP said, there is a portion of this great country that's been dismissed. I am glad there are people who eant to help. This is the reason I am in awe. I have respect for people who set their minds on something and takes steps to carry it out, despite the what the naysayers say. Even if it is for publicity.....So what?! People are getting helped. Why is this such a hard thing to comprehend? They've allowed hate to overide common sense.

OK African Girl, I’ve noticed that I wasn’t the first one, but I was
very close (May I add that it was partially your fault because three
minutes before posting here I was reading your last post on “The
House of Brad” thread, lol). Anyway, congrats to Trullesand.

#9 and 11 Brad shit. If you want to make a good point on a topic,
any topics, I really think you should work on your sources. Citing
“Unreliable Internet Newspapers” is not the way to go. If it was
really true (especially the apartheid part) thrust me, it will have
been all over the news like CNN, NBC, ABC, NY Post, Washington
Post, etc.

Questions to you Brad shit #9 and 11: If you hate Brad Pitt so
much, why to you feel the need to google his name in order to find
some shit about him? Why do you felt the need to post your
unreliable news here, where the guy is talking about doing
something for the Katrina victims? Remember this: while you’re
googleling Brad names all over the internet looking for shit in order
to nourish your hate of Brad, the guy is helping people all over the
world and also on your own neighborhood (meaning in the US).

Also, to shit #9 and 11: You reported that Jolie said “Jolie by the
way told America Africa was more important than Katrina”. Please,
I’m curious to read about this comment, please give me the link
(Eh, by the way, please, a reliable link). I think, like so many close-
minded people, you have a problem with the Jolie-Pitt helping
people outside America, and to see that Brad is helping here also,
just enrage you because you just HAVE and NEED to maintain
your hate. There are millions and millions and millions of causes in
America, Canada and all over the world. Bono chooses to care
about Africa and be the voice of the poorest. Paul McCartney
chooses to care about animals. Oprah chooses to give to AIDS.
etc, etc. But, these are internationally renowned persons and they
can make a difference. They can bring awareness all over the
world and also in you own “twisted closed limited” head. So,
instead of whipping about Angie and Brad because they’re helping
people in needs, embrace a cause yourself, in your own
neighborhood (meaning your own backyard). If you don’t have the
money, you can volunteering, you can give a homeless a pair of
shoes. I don’t care, just do something. Angie is only a wake-up
call, if you think the poor outside America aren’t worth caring
about (because some people do think that), just help the poor
you have here, in America. Thrust me on that one, if you’re
helping someone, Brad, Angie and Bono will never criticize you for
that. They won’t see that you’re helping an American; they will see
that you’re helping someone, a HUMAN BEING, regardless to
where this person is from.

#11, By the way, I’m also in “awe” of Brad Pitt. Why? Just read
what Just Jared posted with this thread.

Africa Mama, African Girl,here is your African sis guest what? we are proud to be Africans and I think JA is a reincarnation of some African Queen! Just look at those lips, originaly we were the only people with plump lips ,I am so proud of my own big and juicy! Now a days everybody in Holywood wants big lips like Angie and still they look so fake and nasty , cannot fool with mother nature, sorry cannot beat Angie on that one! She is our African Queen!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can't we just be happy for this family and just wish them good luck? Is it really that hard to do?

Angelina to return as Lara

Source: ITN

Angelina Jolie will return as sexy tomb raider Lara Croft in the third movie in the series.

The news comes just three days before Ange is due to give birth to her first child with Brad Pitt.

Is Angelina scheduled to give birth on the 25th of this month?

BIG CORRECTION ON my #67 post, I meant ANGELINA JOLIE has big plump juicy lips not the hell JA what 'sher name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lylian.
I am of African descent, born in the West Indies but spent most of my life in the States, so I guess I am West Indian African American, I don't know, I just considered myself black

Hey Anon, I read that too and I was like WHAT, I think they made a mistake unless they know something we don't

hello my chums,
hows things today?
it been a gorgeous day over here, i got sunburnt only on one side so im looking slightly funny! lol

#55 - anon

This is the small plot outline they have on the IMDb website.

Plot Outline: Three stories set in Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico and Japan. The story begins with a tragedy striking a married couple on vacation.

I’m sorry for my last very long post. I don’t know why I feel the
need to write a freaking essay every time. Anyway, I just can’t
wait to see the movie, so here, is a little resumé. I really think it’s
will be AMAZING. Kind of remind me of Traffic and Crash.

“'Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look
after their family's herd of goats. In the silent echoes of the
desert, they decide to test the rifle... but the bullet goes farther
than they thought it would.

In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on
three different continents collide. Caught up in the rising tide of
an accident that escalates beyond anyone's control are a
vacationing American couple (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett), a
rebellious deaf Japanese teenager and her father, and a Mexican
nanny who, without permission, takes two American children
across the border. None of these strangers will ever meet; in spite
of the sudden, unlikely connection between them, they will all
remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate
meaningfully with anyone around them"

Sorry, again, # 55- anon, here is the link where I've been reading
about the movie for the past year.

http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=12520

Man, this movie is gonna be HOT!!! Brad Pitt AND Gael Garcia Bernal?!?! They are my two FAVES!!! I can't wait to see this movie!!!

As for Bad being involved in helping to rebuild New Orleans, what a great thing to do! Why didn't anyone think to spearhead this before?! I am so glad that he is heading up this project. I wonder if Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie will participate too. Hmmm...I am looking forward to hearing the progress on this project. Good for him!

Thanks for the vid and pic Jared

Wow, I feel the emotion and pain emanating from that Babel pic --I say give him an Oscar just for this damned pic. LOL

By the way, I heard Angelina came to Morocco to see him when he was filming this -- awwww, bet she comforted her man, after a long emotionally grueling day....((((swooon)))

Sorry haters. Don't hate them because they're beautiful, smart, compassionate, kajillionaires that people can't stop talking about.

wellit suprised me too, hot sunny day in the UK! so you can only imagine my thoughts when i lookeed in the mirror! as for not bein allowed out when the suns out, so im good for 360 days of the year, i can deal with that! lol

I think it is great that Brad has gotten involved in this environmentally friendly New Orleans redesign project. Afterall, charity begins at home. There are many places and people within the U.S.A. needing help.

Attention Please: Would somebody give this person his MEDS and put him back in the Psychiatric ward.

poison_cherry, thank you but actually i wasn´t hunting for it...

I dunno, maybe it's the rainy day, but I am just fed up with the bull shite artists. Go away. I'm sick of trying to be reasonable with you and explain that you need to read and look at timelines. Go play in someone else's sandbox - I don't feel like shoveling this one out today.

Re New Orleans: I have a cyberfriend who moved there just months before Katrina. She bought a house in the 9th ward at city auction. She moved down there from Mass. and put all her things in storage. She was working on rehabbing this lovely old house. Then Katrina struck. She and her pet got out alive. That's what she came back to town with. ALL of her antiques, first editions, autographed books, memorbilia etc. was lost in the flood. Her stuff was on the first floor of a warehouse. Now, compared to some, she was lucky. Her house was already raised, so not a lot of floor damage. However, plywood blew off the windows and the rain got in ruining all the hard work she had done. She had been staying in a rented room, because there was no plumbing/electricity available where her house is. Then, they raised the rent to 4x what she was paying. Now she is living in her house, with one light, barely working plumbing. She is one of two people who have moved back into her neighborhood. Most of the rest were renters. Landlords don't seem to be rebuilding. The streets are piled mountain high with rubble. As HE ignored it when they asked for levy repairs, as HE ignored it during Katrina, GWB ignores it now. If people like Brad don't give a damn and try SOMETHING...who will? You gonna sell your homes and build down there? I'm sure as heck not - even if I could stand the humidity! The landlord "class" sure isn't. I Thank the Gods and Goddessess there are people like Brad Pitt who give a damn.

# 75 | Poison_Cherry

Thanks so much for the synopsis! It sounds must see, and judging from the moviestill along with the description, this may be BP's moment of glory as an actor. He's got so many interesting projects in the works according to imdb.com, and I think he's heading into a much more deeper thought provoking place with the vehicles he's choosing to produce and/or act in. I think we all know the Ocean series are simply to have fun and make big dough so George and Brad can do the stuff they really want to. Love em!

jpf

That picture screams Oscar.

And to the person who said "How can people hate someone the have never met?" You could probably find out by asking someone who loves someone they've never met.

These boards are so funny with the level of passion that comes out for or against people they know nothing about. Sure we have press reports but until you meet someone personally and are around them none of their actions that we find out through the media give you the whole picture. So neither BAMZ lovers or haters have the full picture, only what they think they know.

And before someone yells, "You're a hater!" Actually I'm not. I don't have a level of passion about them that would involve something as intense as hate. I'm just responding to the posts that blindly love Brangelina to the point that they become deities. Brad and Angie are people and they aren't perfect. They could have questionable motives for the things they do just like anyone else and to act like they are above reproach is funny to me. The truth is the lovers and haters on these boards are two sides of the same coin. I think the passion for 2 people you've never met--whether it's love or hate--is silly because these 2 people don't know you exist, probably don't care that you exist, so why argue and debate since no one really even knows these people? How can you even factually debate?

Lastly, on another note, I think their security detail is excessive and obnoxious. When you use the media for your own purposes as a famous person, then you have to expect that the media will want to use you for their purposes. All jobs have upsides and downsides and to have the whole government go towards the privacy rights of 2 people who are famous is outrageous. As charitable as Brangelina seems to be, it can never be forgotten that they are still self-involved celebrities as well.

He is crying in the picture above because he is thinking of the four years he wasted looking at that nasty ugly Maniston fug face.

Brad, you are an Angel sent to do something in this world. Thank you and thank you to Angelina. These two are doing something to help the world. And they look great doing it. What more can you ask for?

CUT TO: Maniston and the continuous pity party and her endless pedicures. Shallow swollen nose big chin LOSER!

I love how Brad has brought the spotlight back to NOLA and we are now talking about getting the rebuilding started.

I love Brangelina and how they complement each other. Blessing comes to thoses who help and Brad and Angie showing leadership is a beautiful thing. There one of a few Hollywood Stars who are respected and sought after by these organizations for their can do attitudes and results.

I know that it's popular to make fun of celebrities but Brad Pitt is one of the most respected business head in the World and have the "golden touch" while Angelina Jolie has become renowned for her diplomactic skills, generosity and humanitarian concerns.

I was once told that when you're are looking for a mate, look for someone who will inspire you to be the best you can be, and I think Brad and Angie bring out the best in each other. They radiate true happiness and love, their children are so blessed to have them as parents.

# 90 | Original curious

You said it Original Curious. Initiatives like this are the only thing that is going to make things happen down there. Political red tape bureacracy obviously isn't working when it's been over 6 months and the next hurricane season is upon us. Heaven forbid if the unimaginable happens again this year.

You've got to hand it to Brad for lending his support to this project when he is using his celebrity for some good unlike the Lindsay's and Paris's of this world. He knows his name is in the press all day every day around the globe - all the advertising $ in the world couldn't do for Green Space USA what attaching Brad's name to this is doing.

Jesse Smith: Charity does not necessarily begin at home. It begins where your heart is. Let's not put a heirarchy on charity. Give wherever you feel like giving.

That said, did I mention Maniston is an ugly fug with Derailed career? Ewww.

A toi ma Soeur African Girl,

Sorry, I missed your response, I will go back and read it. Benin is a beautuful country my cousin lives there.
Alors, je vous souhaite un bon week end ma chere!

Namibia: Namibian Police Hunt Paparazzi At Langstrand

The Namibian (Windhoek)

April 21, 2006
Posted to the web April 21, 2006

Elma Robberts
Windhoek

PAPARAZZI lurking at Langstrand in the hope of snatching lucrative photographs of Hollywood golden couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are beginning to feel the wrath of the Namibian authorities.

Police officers descended on the beach resort yesterday to flush out foreign photographers who are not in possession of the necessary work permits.

They went to at least two houses in a complex adjacent to the Burning Shore lodge where the celebrity couple are staying, searching for photographers or photographic equipment.

When asked by The Namibian about the actions of the Police, regional Police Commissioner Andrew Iyambo said those residents interrogated by officers were "identified as people who are harassing others".

When asked who had made the complaints of harassment, Iyambo said the media had no business complaining and immediately disconnected the call.

It was reported earlier that the Hollywood stars' privacy had been guaranteed by Iyambo and security would be enforced.

Jolie is reported to be eight months pregnant.

The baby is said be due in mid-May.

According to Wilma Deetlefs of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in Windhoek, quoted in an earlier Associated Press report, foreign photographers are required by law to be in possession of temporary work permits when entering the country.

When asked whether he himself had a work permit, the chief of the Jolie-Pitt security team, Mickey Brett, said he didn't need one because he was in Namibia on holiday.

Meanwhile, the public jetty at Langstrand and the upper deck of the popular Langstrand Restaurant have been cordoned off.

A high fence of shade netting has been erected around the Burning Shore lodge.

According to Regional Governor Samuel Nuuyoma, who recently enjoyed breakfast with the celebrity couple, the actors have been so harassed by the local and foreign media that they're considering leaving the country.

The Namibian was unable to independently verify Nuuyoma's comments.

Hate is a much more powerful emotion than love.
To compare what it takes to continue to hate someone who has done nothing to you (not dislike but hate) to loving someone you have never met is to compare night to day.
Hate degrades the person that is hating. Love can enhance.

#92 Della,

Geesh....another hypocrite! Please don't preach to me...how do you know the security detail is excessive...are you there in Namibia? The Namibia government is working side by side to protect this family life... The media put out a 5 (US)million dollar bounty on their head...and with so much money put out there, people can get hurt. Also there are criminals living everywhere and they might get the bright idea to harm them for money.....so they,re doing what they have to do to keep everyone safe.

They don't whine about it or stop them from acheiving their goals, but that's their world. The CEO of my company has security also because we get bomb threats all the time...I work for a major Health Insurance company...and boy when you don't pay a medical bill...some people get insane.

What the South African Times did was so unprofessional and they know it and the media knows it all because Brad and Angie head of their security wont let them take photos and is supported by Namibian privacy laws.

Thank God ,
But it took Brad 7 wasted years and Nicole Kidman to pull out at the last minute of the MSM movie for Angelina to come in and shine the ligths into BP live and for BP to find himself and his true place in life and that's where he is at this point.
He is a good father, humanitarian, loving, fun, sexy,helping people instead of being self absorbe like Aniston
This is the true BP that we have discovered and love a lot more.
Thank Goodness for Mama ANGIE.

# 31 | lylian | April 22, 2006

What a great post. My mother has friends who live in Johnnesburg all their lives, and both mirror your account in so many ways. They visit once a year since aparthied ended "and their fortunes changed", and although they won't ever forget, there has like you say has been forgiveness, and with that progress has come more swiftly, and that credit as you say goes to Nelson Mandela.

# 92 | Della
Call them how ever you want, but deep inside your heart...you know that at least Brad and Angeina are trying to RAISE some AWARENESS.

A lot of people who disliked them said...that "they are using the kids for publicity." Now, that they are being protected of the children they say they are too obnoxious for being private. What would you want them to do? It's like damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Why can't they leave us alone?

Do you know how to change the channel, turn off the computer, read something else other then gossip.

YOU are in control of what goes into your brain not Brad and Angie.

#100 marmar

i don't normally respond to this silliness, but...

they are isolated because they want privacy. people will pay millions to get photos of them to satisfy people like you and me.

"BP & AJ are hypocrites: they talk about loving Africa and saving the world all from their $300,000 posh pad."

it makes no sense that you expect people who are helping others to become broke by doing it. everyone deserves to live well.

"This is the truth not an anti-BAMZ rant. I am not an JA fan, just an individual who is tired of AJ and her boy toy."

if you are tired of them, don't come to sites with their pictures or post on threads about them--that's being hypocritical which is something you write that you hate.

# 101 | crybabyAniston
" Also there are criminals living everywhere and they might get the bright idea to harm them for money.....so they’re doing what they have to do to keep everyone safe."

...then should they not stay in Beverly Hills? They are movie stars if you want your privacy stay at home, stop traveling the world excessively were a bounty might be place on your head for acting elusively.

# 100 | marmar | April 22, 2006 03:34 PM

You really need to make up your mind about which way you want to approach your obvious BP/AJ hate. You seem lost between calling attention to their 6 figure expendtures, and how you feel it's contridictary and hypocritical of them to proceed to talk of assisting others. Then you jump on the juvenile name calling wagon and wish a serious cootie bug bites, makes them ill and kills them so "you won't have to watch their movies or smell BP's alledged BO", also how George Clooney gets to bang hotter chicks anyway?

How old are you?

"This is the truth not an anti-BAMZ rant. I am not an JA fan, just an individual who is tired of AJ and her boy toy."

Then why are you here? There's a picture of Brad at the top of the thread with his name under it. You saw it and made a choice to leave comments. If you were really tired then you wouldn't have bothered to comment - twice.

"hypocrites"

Do you own a car? Does anyone in your family own a car? That car builds 3 schools in Cambodia. Shame on you or your family for driving.

Don't even pretend to care for the Africans or BAMZ safety. You are just a boring hater and a hypocrite yourself.

Are Bill Gates, Oprah and Donald Trump hypocrites. They all live rich but they also give to those less off. Oprah just said she does not feel shame in living a good life. Maybe everyone should be Mother Teresa but we aren't. Get off your high horse until you can prove you are equal to Mother Teresa.

Della
You see, the thing you have missed is that passions arise when people make idiotic posts. You say they are just human, this is precisely the point that's been tried to pass across. Human beings fail, they fall, they make mistakes....that is what makes us
human. Those who can't to let go of this notion that he may cheated or he lied seem to have placed BP on a pedastel and now they are angry that their idol's feet is made of clay.

I admire people who can overcome their pasts and forge forward with the desire to do something good. To hear some people say it, it you are beyond redemption if you've made a few mistakes in the past.

I admire people who want to learn about things beyond their immediate
environment but apprently, this is not a good thing. You should be content with what you know.

I admire people who are strong, independent, people who take responsibility for their own life....but of course, this is a foreign notion, afterall this is the not me decade, where everyone else is responsible for our bad decisions.

Oh, heck I admire AJ and by extension BP for what they are trying to do but I have in no way, raised them to the stutus of gods. I am well adjusted to know the difference.

# 100 | marmar |

Wishing people ill is very evil of you! I hope you're not that bad when you're offline. BTW Have you seen George
Clooney's beard..I mean main squeeze? Lmao

Why can't they spend some money on themselves?

Do you also think Oprah is a hypocrite? Look at what Oprah has to say.

"I have lots of things, like all these Manolo Blahniks. I have all that and I think it's great. I'm not one of those people like, 'Well, we must renounce ourselves.' No, I have a closet full of shoes and it's a good thing. I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips. I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me. She said, 'Don't you just feel guilty? Don't you just feel terrible?' I said, 'No, I don't. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.' Then I said when we got home, 'I'm going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I'll feel good about it.' " - OPRAH

I wonder if Angie and Brad will be together
at the Cannes Festival?...............no! cate blanchet and gael garcia bernal will be in cannes.Brad will not be because in those days angelina will give birth( cannes may 17-28)

hey guys im going to watch hotel rwanda now so ill chat with you all later.
take care till then.

This is a public site and I can post if I choose. I am 25 and an attorney. I am sick of AJ-P and BP always wanting to save the world; save yourself. AJ breaks up a home and now calls herself a saint. All she would ever be is a big lipped whore. All they want is publicity and after they receive it, they bitch and moan about it.

# 114 | Julia | April 22, 2006 04:10 PM |

Oprah is not a hypocrite, she admits that she likes nice things. She does not act like AJ who acts like "Brad, I think we should live in a run down neighborhood in Paris because I feel bad for poor people." Look Mother Theresa spent her entire human existence working for the poor, instead these two walk around like they are the only ones helping the poor. They need to stop with the self importance and realize that if they stopped teasing the paps with glimpses of the big the big lipped monster no one would care. JJ would stop posting pics of them and I can enjoy this site without the unnecessary worship of AJ and BP.

marmar you are one dumb motherfucker.

Drop dead bitch

marmar just can't accept the fact that people care about BAMZ and no one cares about her fat ugly ass.
You're a LOSER marmar. no one knows you exsist, you've accomplished nothing in your pathetic life.

I hope you get CANCER & DIE bitch!

you really make no sense. i hope you aren't a litigator. if you are, i pity your clients.

# 120 | gitane | April 22, 2006 04:36 PM

My friend, do not pity my client, I use the same logic on my opponents to dispel your worship of the big lipped whore and have reduced your arguments to shreds.

# 117 | marmar

You make no sense. Hypocrites because they don't admit liking nice things? HUH? I think actions speak louder than words in some cases. The rundown apartment goes for 50,000 a month and like you said they're now staying in a "$300,000 posh pad" in Africa. Maybe you're not looking around enough, because a lot of celebs are "helping out the poor". I know a lot of people who are inspired by Angelina and are now doing things to help. the paparazzi could possibly make a million dollars off the first baby pics... do you really think they're just going to go away?

"JJ would stop posting pics of them and I can enjoy this site without the unnecessary worship of AJ and BP."

Are you that obsessed? Have you not noticed all the other celeb pics JJ posts?

manmar, here is a little piece of advice: if you don't like the "unnescessary worship of AJ and BP", then when you see a story that Jared has posted about them, skip over it. And if you feel you must the read the story to continue fueling your hatred of them, then don't read the comments. And if you're gonna bash people, at least do your fucking homework. Brad and Angie paid $50 000 a month for their Paris apartment and pics of it were in Us Weekly a couple weeks back. If that's run down, then I live in the fucking ghetto. Then another thing: Oprah is a good person who does a lot of good for the world; she also has a few million dollar homes and lots of pretty clothes. Why is she not a hypocrite but Brad and Angie are? They make millions doing a movie, but they give a lot of it away; however they also have nice things. I don't think they are trying to save the world, they are just trying to make it a better place. And again, had you done your homework before you starting shooting your mouth of, you'd know that Brad and Angie always give props to other people who are helping the poor; they don't walk around thinking they're the only ones doing anything.

It's a hell of a lot easier to love someone than hate them. Why not just reply in the threads of celebrities you like?

# 117 | marmar
"JJ would stop posting pics of them and I can enjoy this site without the unnecessary worship of AJ and BP."

Now I get it. Its all Jared's fault for MAKING you click on a thread discussing Brad Pitt. Its Jared's fault because he/she obviously doesn't provide enough pictures and stories about other celebs for you to take interest in. You remind me of a chainsmoking celebrity with blond highlights who likes to blame others for her shortcomings - such as her failed marriage and failed movies but I digress...

I just showed your last comments to my father, a Judge. He said, "I hope she's not a trial attorney because her reasoning is flawed and apparantly she cannot argue her way out of a paper bag." LMAO

Marmar as an attorney don't you have some important legal documents to prepare for a case, or some other boring crap like that? Stick to your day job, and by the way....you're old!!!

Marmar says "Oprah is not a hypocrite, she admits that she likes nice things. She does not act like AJ who acts like "Brad, I think we should live in a run down neighborhood in Paris because I feel bad for poor people."

Translation: I have nothing better to rebut it with.

Warren Buffett - even Oprah says he does not live the fancy life even though he is the second richest man in the world. So according to marmar's skewed logic, everyone who is has money and helping others is a hypocrite.

Marmar says "Look Mother Theresa spent her entire human existence working for the poor, instead these two walk around like they are the only ones helping the poor."

Translation: I hate them so no matter what they do it's bad. I would rather they just spent their money on frivolous things. They shouldn't help the poor because they are not Mother Teresa. Even though the world is paying attention to them, let's not use that to focus on humanitarian efforts, instead let's use it to watch them buy things, because that's a more worthy cause.

Marmar says "They need to stop with the self importance and realize that if they stopped teasing the paps with glimpses of the big the big lipped monster no one would care."

Translation: I am jealous that they are getting all this attention.

Marmar says "JJ would stop posting pics of them and I can enjoy this site without the unnecessary worship of AJ and BP."

Translation: I can't control my finger. I can't help it if I want to read about BAMZ. This is not JJ's site, it's mine. I should get to say what goes up.


# 124 | Sierra | April 22, 2006 04:49 PM

Judge, eh? Impressive. Please give me the name of the governor who your dad blew to get on the bench. I'll pass it along to AJ. With all her impressive humanitarian works AJ has done, perhaps it is time we get the big lipped whore on the bench.

# 117: Marmar, I wasn’t going to respond to your posts, but I
just feel the need that I have too. You of most people, as a
LAWYER, should never cite the TABLOIDS as a source of
information. If you were really a lawyer, I wouldn’t want you to
defend me because I would probably be in death row for a crime
that was committed before I was born.

First: Angie had never ever called herself a SAINT. I’m expecting a
real lawyer to show me some prove of that statement. So, PROVE
IT! I’m waiting.

Second: "Brad, I think we should live in a run down neighborhood
in Paris because I feel bad for poor people." Sorry, but that was
only what the TABLOIDS reported. Have you personally heard
Angie saying that? Nope. I don’t think so. Also, the same
TABLOIDS reported that it was a 50,000$/month apartment. So,
if it was a 50,000$/month rented apartment, I don’t think it was
a dirt-hole. You see, even your UNRELIABLE sources contradict
themselves.

Third: Marmar, as a friend, please drop law schools, some people
aren’t meant for law schools, and you are one of them.

#120
i'm not your friend. my friends are intelligent and have sense enough to stay away from things they don't like or find unpleasant. my friends don't use vulgar language or call people they don't know whore. my friends know how to piece together a logical argument.

you've reduced nothing to shreds except your own intelligence. your caseload must be very light if you have to come here to argue.

Marmar,

Please tell me where and what specialty of law you practice because I want to make sure never to hire you. Not because you don't like Brad & Angie but because your arguments are illogical.

Good one the all BAMZ+1 fans.
Man, I was absent for a day or so and things haven't change a bit. Don't know if that's good or bad.
Anyway, I'm happy that Brad wants to help New Orleans and the victims of Katrina. I come from the caribbean, where we know a thing or two about storms. It is easy for haters to come here and criticize Brad, meawhile the govberment had it all wrong from the begining, I don't hear haters saying a thing about that. Is easy for these haters to say things like that, when they didn't have to leave EVERYTHING behind. I hope he gets all the attention he can to this project, the more, the better.
Que Viva La BAMZ+1!

Marmar says "Judge, eh? Impressive. Please give me the name of the governor who your dad blew to get on the bench. I'll pass it along to AJ. With all her impressive humanitarian works AJ has done, perhaps it is time we get the big lipped whore on the bench."

Translation: I hate bamz so much and now I must use foul language because that's all I can come up with.

That is my point . Very few people live up to the standard you are asking of BP and AJ.
If you are a lawyer why are you dealing in gossip. No one knows why they picked that apartment in Paris but you the lawyer have already found them guity.
Lastly You have spend almost 2 hours on a page about people you think get too much coverage and you are blaming that of Brad and Angie.
I think you should look at youself.

# 132 | lemon pie

Thank you lemon pie. I was just about to comment on marmar's lame response. She is definitely not a litigator, IF she is an attorney at all. Obviously, marmar cannot take the heat or criticism without resorting to childish curse filled rants.

this thread was supposed to be about bp's new movie and the work he's sponsoring in my hometown. that's the only reason why i've posted here so often today. it would be nice if we could get back on topic...

Brad, Angie,

If things are getting out of control in Namibia, You are more than welcome to have your baby at my house. Me, Kate, Isabella, Connor and Suri would love to have you, Maddox and Zahara. I have things under control here. Please let me know.
Tom

Just like I thought. Marmar is tired of reading BAMZ threads but hasn't posted on any other non-BAMZ related thread in the past 2 days - I stopped looking for her name once I reached Thursday. Don't worry all! Marmar isn't a hater. She's actually a fan because why else would anyone BUT a true fan spend so much time on a BAMZ thread.

Tom Cruise joked about eating Katie's placenta during his 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer. I KNOW this is a yummy BRAD thread, but check this out:

Maybe this will give the name calling a break.

ROCK ON BAMZ +1!!

I honestly think that Brad is a good actor and that people don't give him enough credit because of his good looks. They keep saying that his dumb and boring but come on, some of the interviews he's done are hilarious! he seem to have a very good sense of humor and the fact that he studies architecture, is trying to get his license to be a pilot, he's involved in helping others and is able to get a hold of Angelina Jolie, that has to be a very smart man. I don't think anyone as successful as him can be where he is if he doesn't have a good brain on his shoulder. So you go Brad. I'm rooting for you. I think it's funny that others under estimate you and your acting abilities and want to say your stupid because deep down, they wish they could be as cool as you. These are the same people who wants to say mean things about Angelina Jolie. Just a bunch of unhappy/unsuccessful fuckers! GO BAMZplusONE!!!!

This is a loose translation of what director Alejandro González Iñarritu has to say about Brad's performance in Babel. Thanks to maria77 at bradforums:

"About BRAD PITT, Iñarritu only has praises and certain remorse of conscience. "Brad (Pitt) is a good man, with a great heart. He does not have malicia. This film was a different experience, and it was not easy for him. I demanded much to him, and perhaps I made him suffer, but I hope that when he sees the result, he feels proud of his physical and emotional effort "

I can't wait to see this film.

You know one thing that i never understood was why does Oprah love Julia Roberts who fell in love with a married guy and who had a pregnant wife, but at the same time dislikes brad because he is now with angie and ja

# 135 | gitane | April 22, 2006 05:14 PM

I agree. I always wonder why certain projects are chosen by actors, and especially ones that aren't really mainstream type vehicles. I can't wait for BP to start the promo/interview process for not only this movie, but Jesse James. I really think the later is going to be vey good. I just have this feeling, and after I read that BP's Jesse James is not in the romantic/hero vein like some protrayals in the past, but a really nasty, mean, more true to history turn. I'm excited.

Ewwww...that placenta cooking video is nasty

#145 Rizos,

I got it from bradforums.net
Here is the full article. Again, credit goes to maria77

Dice Alejandro González Iñárritu que “Babel” es la mejor película que ha hecho hasta ahora, y por mucho. El director ha invertido tres años de su vida en la cinta que concluye la trilogía iniciada con “Amores Perros” y “21 gramos” (todas con guión de Guillermo Arriaga). La información alrededor de “Babel” ha sido nula. La producción se ha encargado de no filtrar nada a los medios tanto en la preproducción como en los siete meses de filmación en diversas partes del mundo. Por eso sorprendió que Iñárritu accediera a responder un extenso cuestionario enviado por correo electrónico por Omar Cabrera del diario Reforma. *** Para el ex locutor de WFM, el haber trabajado con Gael García, Brad Pitt y Cate Blanchett en su nueva cinta, fue “una experiencia de vida”. Sobre la actual pareja de Angelina Jolie, Iñárritu solo tiene elogios y cierto remordimiento de conciencia. “Brad (Pitt) es un hombre bueno, de buen corazón. No tiene malicia alguna. Esta película fue una experiencia distinta, y no fue fácil para él. Le exigí mucho, y quizá lo hice sufrir demasiado, pero espero que cuando vea el resultado, se sienta orgulloso del esfuerzo físico y emocional al que lo sometí”. *** En estos momentos Iñárritu está metido de lleno en la edición de la cinta. Le dedica un promedio de 16-18 horas al día., cosa que disfruta “porque tengo un control absoluto, estoy solo y no dependo de nadie”. La entrevista completa aparece en la edición dominical del Reforma. “Babel” tiene contemplado su estreno en México y Estados Unidos en octubre próximo.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered, you will never grow.

i was never a really big fan of bp. i liked legends of the fall, but only because he ended up with elizabeth II--i didn't like julia ormond's character... anyway, i didn't really respect him as an actor until fight club and then snatch. i didn't find him sexy until he hooked up with aj. now, since i'm a fan of hers, i'm learning all sorts of things about him i find admirable. and i'm really happy that he's doing something to help new orleans. that city is so important to american history and the economy. it should at least be liveable again.

the new movies look great. i don't know if i'll go see jesse james, but i think i'll be in the theater for babel.

Hello African Girl
I'm GReat and tire. We have a Spring break meaning that my kids are off from scholl, meaning every 2 mins. I'll hear a "MOM, COME HERE", or "GIRLS, STOp IT".

Vive Le BAMZ+1!
How's that?

Soryyyyyyyy: school

Maniston is fug!

Angelina has said she keeps one foot in charity and one in show biz because her revenue in show biz allows her to help.


And unfortunately in a screwed up world, she must spend a lot to protect herself and her family. Most high profile celebrities have to. get a grip people.

Maniston is fug, in case I have not mentioned this. Thanks!

Lola, Muchisimas Gracias, Thank You.
Man, he is really into this movie, now I can't wait to see it. I saw the other movies, and I belive Alejandro was the director of Harry Potter and the prisioner of Azkaban, Washe? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. So we have to wait until October, oh well, we wait. Once again, Muchisimas Gracias Lola.

Alejandro González Iñárritu directed Amores Perros and 21 grams and both EXCELLENT films.

Guillermo Arriaga the screenwriter is fantastic at his work.

Got this off IMBD:

According to the April 21 issue of Sankei Sports Shimbun newspaper, Koji Yakusho (an actor in Babel during the Japan segment) is going to Cannes for the initial showing of “Babel” which is currently scheduled for Tuesday May 23.

The newspaper reports that Koji (who learnt of the good news through an e-mail from director Inarritu), commented, "Even at the screenplay stage, I felt that 'Babel' would become one of the eternal masterpieces of the cinema. Starting from its showing at Cannes, 'Babel' will be sure to impress lots of people throughout the world."

Lola,

Thanks so much for the article!! I think I WILL buy a ticket to go see this one.

My Spanish is not great, but sounds like the shooting this movie was an experience of lifetime for Brad. Did I understand it was emotionally very difficult for him? Wasn't this shot around the time of Jolie-Pitt Kenya rendez-vous or after?

There, refreshed now.

African Girl. You did GREAT! I guess what I'd really like the BAMZers to do it be "bigger, smarter" people. Respond if needed, but not with the trash I've been reading above. That INCLUDES the post by # 101 | anonino. I'm ashamed that any Brangelina fan would say such awful things. Remember, the laws of karma work [if they exist] the same for all. I'm offended by ANYONE wishing a baby dead or grief to new parents/parents of a newborn. There will be times we need our Rudedog, but, I would like to challenge others to rise to our standards, not sink to them.

Thanks Cherry [?] for the synopsis of Babel. The fact that it's entered in competition at Cannes indicates that this is a movie to take seriously. I'm looking forward to reading more about it in the coming month.

Re the article from Namibia. I haven't searched to see if it's true, so, IF it is true, I hope they stay there. I realize Angelina probably has a doctor with her, but, I would rather they stay put to not put extra stress on the baby. Of course, if staying there is too much stress, then I wonder; where will they go? The government warned the razzis not to come. If they had but had maintained some dignity, perhaps it wouldn't come to this.

Original jpf & Gitane
First Fight Club then Snatch. These were the two movies that made me notice BP. I never saw legends of the fall, Meet Joe Black, Seven Years in Tibet. I saw Seven but thought it was more of a Morgan Freeman movie. Then there was the one with Harrison Ford (I think) where he was an irish assassin, again I didn't really see him as the main character. I loved him in snatch, even though I could barely understand what he was saying...had to be it on caption (lol). After Snatch I got Fight Club and the fact he was with Edward Norton (like him a lot. Primal Fear anyone?) even made it better. I guess I like him looking all rough around the edges....except Ocean's 11. I found his potrayal of the character very on spot. The "I'm here but I'm not" attitude. I loved that one scene where George Clooney had just made the BIG speach, the both walk into the elevator and BP's character says "you've been working on that haven't you?" GC turns to him and goes "did I rush it?" and BP says "oh no, you did fine" (yeah, I saw that movie many, many times.) Anyway, that scene cracks me up, maybe because it is so real. Now Oceans 12.....let's move on. I am keeping my fingers crossed for for 13. Now this movie...I am definately going to see (the rough around the edges factor at play again).

When does AJ's Movie The Good Shepard premier? Does anyone know?

# 152 | gitane

This may sound strange, but I always liked him better than his movies. He always has given me a vibe of being a geniunely nice, caring, sincere and just real man, and not until Fight Club did I really look at him as an actor "actor"...make sense?
Always liked AJ's honesty, unpretentiousness, plain-spokeness even if shocked me sometimes, and Ironically just like with BP, up until I saw "Girl Interrupted", I liked her better than anything I had seen her in. After she adopted Maddox she really had me because of her almost overnight transformation based on the love for that kid. And then her plunge into her UN work, and the devotion to helping others just made me admire her more. Ok, not in a million years would I have ever put BP/AJ together, but honestly, from that very first time I heard a rumor, it just hit me like a ton of bricks that "in another life they would have been perfect for each other." I guess they thought so too lol. I think she inspires him to explore his dreams, and vice versa. I won't be presumptious and suggest that the man wouldn't be doing half of what he is when it comes to helping others, but I can't rule it out either since I can't ever remember him being so vocal, and hands on prior to being with her, and that's maybe because now they both have someone in their lives who understands where each is coming from. I even read this week that they now share a consultant regarding their philanthropic concerns and to me thats a darn sure sign that they're on the same page.

I just didn't get into Legends, River Runs, 7even is cool but you're right, it's about MF.

For today's version, you don't have to even pick just one! This is one of the many reasons I admire Brad and Angelina. THEY and people like BONO have made the CHOICE to make this a better world. No one would think any less of them if they didn't - it takes a special person to do what they and others do. Even back to Live Aid [the first one] I admire anyone who sees a problem and tries his/her best to be a PART of the solution. No one can solve these problems on their own, but, every little bit of aid, publicity, etc. helps.

I've just come back after 5 days to surfing on entertainment sites. Wow - so many more cynical accounts now about BP and AJ! True or not, why are there many more jokes and negativity? Examples:

* they are ludicrous and selfish to basically buy-off a foreign land as their own playground and bunker despite the impact on locals and other tourists,..with apartheid-security who caused harm to many people.

* the timing of BP New Orleans venture is a publicity move a result of a backlash about him and AJ only talking about non-US needs...and to deter the negative publicity about their apartheid security team.

* AJ is hiding out in an African bunker either to not tarnish her image with a swollen face/body from pregnancy, or because they've already had a baby and are keeping it hidden to hide the date of conception or coz it gives her a jump start to appear thin all of a sudden for her image .

* AJ's page ad in USA today is another publicity timing stunt to deter negativity that is surfacing about the couple, timing of conception. Her reason for the timin being the retun of Congress is bogus becasue Congress is returning to further discuss hot domestic issues like Immigration, economy etc - not to discuss foreign aid for mothers, etc in Africa (don't remember what place they said).

Like I said both haters and lovers of AJ & BP have no idea what is true or not...

As someone mentioned earlier, Brad Pitt is a very talented actor, but he doesn't get enough credit (maybe because of his "pretty boy" image) but personally, I thought he was wonderful in Legends of the Fall, and I absolutely love that movie! I can't understand why people slam it (if people actually sit down and watch it, instead of jumping on the bandwagon and trashing it...) but I digress.


Another movie that is absolutely fabulous as well is Spy Game. Great movie, great performances all around. Also, Brad was brilliant in Se7en, my favorite scene is at the end when Brad's character is trying to get Morgan Freeman's character to tell him "what's in the box!?!" Pitch perfect performance; the way he was so frantic and distressed and then when he finds out whats in it (don't want to ruin it for those who might not have seen it), his reaction is fantastic; you can just see him wrestling with his rage and grief, the emotions were so real---I always get teary eyed there (don't judge me!). Well, I hope I won't get trashed now that I have revealed my keen interest in Mr. William Bradley Pitt, but I just wanted to praise him and his movie work, because it isn't recognized enough.

i wish i had time to write fanfic...

God. It's quite funny how this so called handsome man has absolutely no real personality or character to speak of. Well, I guess one cannot have everything! Of course, there are many handsome men that are strong as well, so maybe brad got a raw deal? I don't know. All I know is he gives the impression of a weak person with no real beliefs or convictions of his own, only those of his girlfriend at the time.
Perhaps he was given some intelligence? Frankly, that doesn't seem to be the case either.
Oh well, he's done well enough for himself anyways so it's OK. Life is funny.

It's a good thing Cate Blanchett is in this film. Her stellar Oscar-level acting talent will carry the film despite brad's, frankly, less than stellar acting ability.
Maybe he'll take his shirt off in the film? He's always 'talented' in that, lol!

so true. cruise would have katie and all of his kids onstage while he jumped around like an idiot, lambasted everyone who didn't win and took a potshot at brooke shields.

i feel really bad for vv. i read in entertainment weekly that the break up was his brainchild. he understands that he's not the typical romantic lead so he came up with the premise himself. but, because of the bp/ja break up and some people insisting on seeing her character live happily ever after, they've had to reshoot the ending and the film's been butchered.

anyway, that's the last time i'll mention HER on a BAMZ thread.

Hello BAMZ+1 fans I'll be back online in a few days. Miss you all!

lol, "eyes". I don't need to 'really listen' to brad or make any 'serious attempt to get to know' him (lol. I have other things to do with my time) to know what he is.
It's obvious to the vast majority of the general public he is a very weak minded person with a weak, easily manipulated personality.
If the vast majority of people believe a certain thing chances are very good it's true. Sorry.

By the way, is it really necessary to attack me personally? Why all the anger?

# 196 | interesting |

I could so kick myself for coming across a list of Brad's humanitarian efforts yesterday and not bookmarking it.

After reading it I was seriously impressed because although I knew he'd done a few things, and I didn't know that he's been a regular/consistant donor to the National Negro College Fund for over 10yrs. He's been involved "and vocal" for yrs advancing stem cell research. He's entre into the ONE campaign came prior to AJ, and he gives full credit for helping him become envolved to Bono.

Those are the only three things I can remember, but my point is "they all preceded his present relationship." As far as I know, not one of the women he was with before was involved with any of those with him.

jpf

# 207 | interesting |

Who exactly is the "vast majority", and what non scientific data was utilized to back up your claim. To state something so emphatic as "the vast majority" would suggest to me that a poll of some note (gallup?) was taken, and the results cannot be denied.

jpf

"original jpf".
All celebrities are involved in some kind of charity work or other. It's a part of their job. I would venture that many of them are in fact far more involved than brad, or angelina even, but don't make as much of a fuss about it.

But this is besides the point.

The fact is, brad has a weak personality and it has been well observed over the years now that he does indeed 'morph' himself into the personas of the girls he's with. This is a widely held and fully established perception of him. When the general public feels or senses something about someone it is because it is true. He simply is and comes off as a very weak man with not much intelligence and not much personality.
Not everyone is born with a strong persona or high intelligence or talent you know. In fact, quite the opposite. If they are, they generally do not become Hollywood actors either. They usually end up leading nations or running large multinational corporations.

How Jen and Vince Vaughn got together:
The Bastardly Theory goes like this:

Brad Pitt wanted to get some Angelina Jolie Ass (understandable), so in order to get rid of the dead weight (J. Aniston) hanging on his balls, he signed up to Mr & Mrs Smith. Following the second day of shooting, he gets a piece of Angie (as expected). Naturally, following his first swim inside Angie, Brad loved what he tasted, so like any other heterosexual male who just had sex w/ Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt wanted more. Angie, being the woman she is, refused to give more sex unless Brad got J. Aniston & her chin out of the picture.

After being left naked in bed w/out Angelina on top of him, Brad, w/ tears rolling down his cheeks & a hard-on from hell, got on his cell phone & told J. Aniston to face reality. The exact words were, “Bitch, you got me when I was drunk one night & there’s no way in hell I should’ve been w/ you in the first place. You know that. I know that. So sign the papers that’ll arrive in the next 30 minutes. And oh yeah, I put an order for 300 “Team Aniston” Tees to jumpstart your pity campaign. My treat.”

So following the divorce, and in an attempt to keep Jenny from playing chicken on the 405, Brad had the decency to call up one of his main men in the business—Vince Vaughn, of course—to come to the rescue. Vince has plenty of experience in eating up Brad’s leftover goodies & he has a kinky fetish for depressed, rebound sex, so a relationship w/ Jenn Aniston was only what the doctor ordered.

How can you form an opinion like that? Was there a scientific poll conducted that showed that "the vast majority of the general public" thinks he is " weak, easily manipulated personality"? If that is the case, please advise.

And so according to you when “the vast majority” of the German people in WO II believed all the stories regarding the Jews and believed it to be just to commit genocide, this according to your logic, would mean that “chances are very good it is true? In generally, it is usually the other way around, or has history taught us nothing? Do you really always following the mass?

How can you form an opinion on somebody, without knowledge, or at least without investigation, as you stated yourself, and not expect anybody to criticize you for doing that? That is what I call applying two standards.
Also, please be advised that I am not angry and I am not attacking you personally.
I am though seriously and passionately questioning your, and as a matter a fact anyone’s, “fast food” style characterization of people. It is exactly this type of sheepish (I have no other word) behaviour, this blindly following of ‘the leader’ that has been the cause of many problems in the world. I already mentioned WO II, there so many more examples.

Original jpf | April 22, 2006 08:27 PM
Oh please. We're just talking about Brad pitt here. It's hardly an important issue worthy of 'scientific' data or a Gallup poll (they poll more serious issues).
I'm assuming you're a relatively intelligent person and not just trying to defend Brad pitt come hell or high water.
It's pretty clear from articles read here and there, opinions given by many commenters on various media and even the occasional off-color quip by a Hollywood actor (Michael Douglas) that Brad has the perception of being a weak person with no real personality of his own.
I think you would be being suspiciously disingenuous if you were not able to admit even that this is true about how he is perceived by the general public, even as one of his fans.

Har har har. So excuse me please.

It's not an interesting enough issue that it doesn't need a gallup poll yet, you think that because of some imaginary 'vast majority' that you made up he's weak and it's true. what a mind you got!!! How about I say that the vast majority thinks that you have three nipples and smelly feet to boot? How do you know you may ask? As much as you know Brad, I know you. Which is not a hell of a lot, but I am pretty good and putting meaningless words together too.

Can I take an unscientific poll to see whether this 'intersting' person has shit for brains?

Eyes | April 22, 2006 08:38 PM

Read what I posted to jpf about where the widely held perception of brad pitt comes from.

As to the WWII analogy it is indeed a very poor one and hardly the place to bring up on a post about brad pitt, but you have anyways.
In actual fact, the vast majority of Germans did not think it was OK to commit genocide against Jews, in fact the vast majority of Germans did not even know it was happening. Any cursory account of WWII history will inform you of this.
As to the generally anti-semitic attitudes held by Germans during the time as well as almost all europeans: the world was not the way it is today. Of course, no one thought jews should be killed for being whatever they were percieved to be either.
I will not get into whether people were right or not in holding those opinions of jews.
Nevertheless what I say holds correct: if the vast majority believe something to be correct or true it is because in almost all cases it is. This is the philosophical foundation upon which the political concept of democracy is based, by the way. Majority rule, have you heard of this? Your assertion that the opposite of what most people think is true is incorrect I'm afraid.

I did not say I never expected anyone to criticize me for my opinions. In fact I don't really care if anyone does.The personal attacks, however, are unessecary and, I'm afraid, a little strange on a comment board about film actors.

I find it somewhat ironic that you characterize my attitude or opinion of brad pitt as 'sheepish' and as an example of someone blindly and unquestioningly following a 'leader.' I would say to you in this instance: look at yourself and the unusual, if not unhealthy, devotion you're showing for a simple movie actor, after all.

#217 Interesting,I would really like to know what so called commenters on various media declared Brad weak.I would also like to know what articles you read that give a perception of a weak person and not a tabloid magazine or web site.

Ah. OK. I see now what type and level of debate and discussion there is here.

I have better things to do with my time. Good bye.

interesting, eat shit & die you loser.

By the way, good luck on getting that promotion at Burger King.

Interesting says "if the vast majority believe something to be correct or true it is because in almost all cases it is. "

Vast majority of whom? A vast majority of scientologist thinks that Lord Xenu exists.

The vast majority of Buddhists believes in reincarnation.

The vast majority once thought the earth was flat.

The vast majority thought that the earth was the center of the universe.

The vast majority of the jury thought that Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson was not guilty.

LASTLY the vast majority voted for BUSH.

All AJ and BP Fans be aware:

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

interesting's "vast majority" are FAT UGLY, WHITE TRASH internet losers who are jealous of Brad Pitt.

Bottom line: Brad Pitt makes more money in one day then losers like "interesting" will make in their entire lives. And when Brad Pitt dies it'll be a cover story, when "intresting" dies he/she will be mentioned on page 12F of the local gazette.

It's official, Jennifer's movie "Friends with money" is now a FLOP!

"Friends With Money
Expanding to 991 locations this week, Friends With Money was unable to crack the top ten. It's generally been favorably reviewed and was a product of Sundance, but it looks to be a movie that will have to find its audience on DVD
"

Poor Jen......HAHAHAH

He nailed it in KALIFORNIA.
Boring in MEET JOE BLACK.
Fell in love with him, THELMA AND LOUISE.
Fell in lust LEGENDS OF THE FALL.
Enjoyed SE7EN, good movie.
OCEANS 11 was entertaining.
OCEANS 12, not as agood as 11.
TROY was ok.
Did not like the accent in THE DEVIL'S OWN
Loved him IN A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT.
SPY GAME was ok.
MR AND MRS SMITH, very entertaining.
Very good in 12 MONKEYS.
Awesome in FIGHT CLUB
Good in SNATCH.
Loved him in SLEEPERS.
Has anyone seen THE FAVOR? He looked good in that, small role though. And another early film, ACROSS THE TRACKS, he was ok.

Couldn't resist taking a peak. I am so bad...I've given up working anyhow. Tommorow is another day, eh?

Sure haven't done Lexis or Westlaw search have you, judges are ELECTED in a number of states. Don't you remember "never ask a question that you don't know the answer to" adage from law school. Really hope you are not a litigator, briefs need to be composed of FACTS, not tabloid rumors and allegations. You expressed a lack of respect for the judiciary, wonder why you are a lawyer.
Babel seems to be a movie I will see as well as JJ and the Good S. I have been an AJ fan since Gia, and a BP fan since Legends of the Fall. They appear to provide balance and to support one another. BP now seems more publicly involved in causes he supports (I understand he has already funded his NO effort-hope other celebs sign on), and AJ seems so happy to finally have a partner who supports her strong "mothering" of their family-the ying and the yang. Both AJ and BP have always been underated as actors because many people only look at their exterior appearances, and think "beauty but no brains". I just can't understand why people don't mind their own business and leave BP and AJ alone. They are just getting on with their lives, doing the best they can, raising children together. What is so wrong with that? Why are some people so unhappy and angry with this family? Why say truly vile things about them? I see why they have all the security around them. Marriages break up everyday, but strong marriages survive because the spouses weather all the ups/downs together. BP and JA were not meant to be married any longer. The "Golden Couple" was hyped to the public by publicists/tabloids who made money off that illusion. AJ has always been real. Now the real BP re-emerges, the way he was before the "Golden Couple". He acts like a "MAN" who is happy with himself and his life. BAMZ+1 is a family, not a false "golden family" but a REAL FAMILY like many that I see everyday. A REAL FAMILY that is seldom separated. I remember seeing pixs of BP arriving back in Malibu from Canada on Dec 11th, and the family went that same day to get a Christmas tree. BP has since Dec 11th spent 2 days in NY and 4 days in DR, only 6 days have BP and AJ been apart since Dec 11th. Both possess the ability to leave the other at anytime, but they haven't. Looks like strong bonds of love and major commitment to each other exist between AJ and BP.

STFU

BAMX.1 Rox

Cate Blanchett talks about Babel and Brad Pitt:

Babel, another project Blanchett has in the can, promises to be no less forgiving. The latest picture from Alejandro Inarritu, he who gave us the gruesome Amores Perros and the wandrous, harrowing 21 Grams, stars Blanchett, Brad Pitt and Gael Garcia Bernal in a series of interconnecting stories that unfurl across three continents. "Brad and I play a couple who have gone to Morocco because their marriage is in crsis... Don't go there! It's so boring," she interjects, anticipating parallels between the plot and Pitt's experience off-screen. "Whenever I mention Brad I always get very tongue-tied because I feel very protective of him". Anyway we're travelling on a tourist bus and some kids are playing with a gun that they've found. They shoot at something shiny in the distance (the bus), and the bullet goes into me, that's the catalyst that starts the whole series of events". Inarritu's film is hotly anticipated, just the sort of thing that could see Blanchett nominated for another Oscar.

Please follow the essence of this discussion.

1, You have no proof of the ‘vast majority’ unless you are so arrogant as to believe yours is that.

2. Even if there is such thing as a vast majority, that does not necessarily is the truth, which is the following arguments will focus on.

Ad 2.
WO II was an EXAMPLE on how mass opinions do not necessarily reflect the TRUTH, which is what you think.

BTW, the majority of Germans in WO II might have not known what happened in the concentration camps, which is what studies, documentations, based upon factual investigation, have shown. The majority however DID believe the Jews, blacks, and non-
Arians to be racially even biological inferior and I seriously hope you KNOW that is not THE TRUTH.

Another EXAMPLE when ‘mass opinions’ are not the truth: Centuries ago, the vast majority believed the earth to be flat. This – as you may know – is not truth.

Regarding your statement on “majority rules” which according to you equals the TRUTH: Election results are typical result of the average opinion of the masses, and not of the TRUTH - Truth in the scientific sense here. The democracy is based upon the will of the majority. That has nothing to do with the TRUTH.

In my opinion it is every individual person's responsibility to weigh the opinion of the mass against his/her own. You are clearly not doing that and instead you choose to follow ‘the vast majority” (as you see it), for whatever reason. That however is a lack of responsibility as a human being. For that matter you - in my opinion - are no different than those Galileo critics and Nazi admirers. So, not much has changed after all.

Finally, this discussion has nothing to do with my admiration of BP as a person, as if that would be the only reason for anyone to disagree with you. Any signs of devotion in here are focused on the essence of this discussion, which is a healthy thing.

Let it be know though that I admire Brad Pitt. Based upon my own factual investigation and observation, my OPINION is, that he is a well documented, above average intelligent person with a passion for humanitarian work, with a hack of an ass and who likes to please his girlfriends any way he can. Give me that anytime above couch potato philosophers.

I also sincerely believe that this is the OPINION of the mass posters, or vast majority, on this thread. However, to proof that, thus to determine whether or not my opinion is the TRUTH, we would need a POLL. Get it?
Btw: I don’t view people as ‘simple movie actors’ et cetera. Be careful, classifying people is a dangerous thing.

GALLUP: haha, well said. excellent, you tell him

She does plenty of charity work under the scenes. She
doesn't have to announce it to the world every time she
does something. What would make me admire this
pussywhipped twat is lets pretend he actually did something
and then afterwards it came to light. Everythime they do
something for charity they have to make a huge production
out if it & announce it first. He knows his popularity sucks
now and he is desperate to be calling from Africa to get
some good press. Just stay there Brad and shut up & go live
in the jungle. Talk Talk Talk, phot op photo op. A good
person does charity work & does not need constant pats on
the back.

"Kalifornia"; for all those that haven't seen it and want to witness Brad's acting at its best, I'll simply refer you to this movie. Rent it, I guarantee you won't regret it.

Hey Guli
How are you doing? I understand. My thoughts and prayers are with you okay, take care of yourself.
Don't worry about the link. I'll take care of it.

You know I thought "interesting" sounded suspiciously like "yawn" "Naive" and "something Arrogance from the Mohawk thread. Then her abrupt exit confirmed it. She has this intense desire to have the last word with classic exit lines like

Don't bother responding
I am done have this conversation.
I have better things to do with my time.
See, the thing with her is that she wants people to listen to her opinions, we are meant to see them as the absolute truth. since she considers herself the most intelligent person on the blog, she sees it as an afront if we mere mortals argue with her...hence the sudden exits. In her own way, she wants to control the conversation.

What is very intriging about her is that unlike all the others who came here just to rile people up, she is here to show off her intelligence. We should be flattered that she takes considerable efforts to show us that she is smart.
Okay sweetie, we get it. You know stuff, you got an education and you have loads of degrees. Yes, we get it.

Hopefully, now that she's gotten the acknowledgement she so desperately seeks, she can be at peace.

Rational arguments in my opinion are wasted on you. Perhaps you should get something whipped to get some sense of truth about the world here. JEEzz. clueless nr. 2, you are

#241, could you mention something charitable that Jen has done? I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, I am genuinely curious, because to my knowledge she hasn't done anything of the sort

It seems as though Brad has got himself involved with another movie project, tentatively due out in 2008. According to imdb.com, the film will be titled "Dallas Buyer's Club" and will see Brad playing a man diagnosed with full blown AIDS.

Here's a synopsis:
Told to "go home and die" after developing full-blown AIDS in 1986, electrician Ron Woodroof delves into the world of underground pharmacies that supply HIV drugs not approved for use in the U.S. in an attempt to prolong his life, and, ultimately, the lives of thousands of other people.

This movie sounds really promising and I can't wait for it to come out. Damn, it'll really be interesting to see Brad take on such a difficult role.

# 241 | Your hands are ugly , in case you did not get it post # 244 is for you.

Hey African Girl.
You know I had been out of practice, so I thought it to be - for a change - a mind stimulating exercise to pretend as if certain opinions expressed here are actually worth while to respond to. Phwey, ... Could exercise for my fingers though. LOL

#241,I would like to know as well what charity work Miss Jen has done,remember in her vogue interview she stated It wasn't her thing.So do tell.

Reply to Your hands are ugly

How is any one supposed to know about this competition if no one is told of it??? It is a competition you know. yes, his popularity is so bad that he can't get enough media attention, yea and he was so hated that no one went to see mr and mrs. smith, which happened right after the divorce. oh they truely truely hated him. people really hate him so that's why mr and mrs smith made almost $500 M worldwide, and that's in a year when movies have been doing progressively worse every year. if that's not an indication of his popularity then you guys must be just delusional. to say that jen is sooo into humanitarian work that she keeps it silent is really lame, anyone can make that argument. everyone should be applauded for contributing to a worthy cause. in fact brad has been contributing to charities for years too.

i bet those people in NO could give a rats ass where the help is coming from as long as something has been done and all some people can do is to crucify a guy for doing just that. it's really lame.

Eyes
((((CLAPPING)))))
It's post like yours that keeps me coming back to JJ. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, our little friends admitted in a previous thread that she doesn't read out posts...apparently we are not up to her intellectual standard. In an effort to degrade us, she shows how not so smart she is.

COLD HARD MATH (CHM?)
How could I have forgotten Karlifornia! Yes he was good in that. I see you put "very good" in 12 monkeys. Please help me out with that movie. He was sent from the future to stop some deadly virus....right? All I remember was he didn't accomplish that and his character and BW's character were at some airport....ughh! I know it would be easier to watch it again but I need an insentive. Please help!

Golden couple...what makes a couple golden? They now refer to Jolie & Pitt as golden couple....why doesn't that bode well with me (lol). I believe there is a curse that comes with the title. I'm sure if we look into, we'll see a pattern with being referred to as the Golden Couple. This is the mission, if you choose to accept it.....(please no rotten tomatoes. It was the only appropriate phrase in this situation).

# 245 | curious to kno says "could you mention something charitable that Jen has done? I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, I am genuinely curious, because to my knowledge she hasn't done anything of the sort"
------------

personally i want to know something that she has done with her "HANDS". I remember she was at the telethon for katrina. But some people have been complaining that it's all talk and not physical on the part of Brad, like the hater above.

SO I want to know if JA has done something with her "two hands like Harry Connick Jr".

What is wrong with some of these people?Brad shows he has a social consequence and helps the less fortunate and he gets ripped.Those people in New Orleans need all the help they can get.There are people who have paid into insurance for years and the insurance companies are denying claims and won't pay these people a dime and they have nothing.So if Brad and many others want to try to help I say good for them.

Have a Good One BAMZ+1 fans. and now Iwill share a song that one of my daugthers serenade me today( I just change it a little), if you know it, feel free to join me:
This little BAMZ of mine
I"m gone let it shine.
This little BAMZ of mine,
I'm gone let it shine.
This little BAMZ of mine,
I'm gone let shine,
Let it shine,let it shune let shine.
Hide it under a rock, NO
I'm gone let shine,
Put it under the bed, No
I'm gone let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Que Viva La BAMZ+1!

LOL That telephone message was hilarious.

It's pretty clear from articles read here and there, opinions given by many commenters on various media and even the occasional off-color quip by a Hollywood actor (Michael Douglas) that Brad has the perception of being a weak person with no real personality of his own.
I think you would be being suspiciously

# 217 | interesting
-------------------
So why the hell was Michael Douglas (supposedly a person who yields so much influence in HW) forced to apologogize and retract his words? ... well, 'coz a sampling of the vast majority (i.e., general public and not skewed gossip writers) properly ventilated their opinions/reactions against Michael Douglas comments to magazine editors (particularly GQ) and the United Nations.

Michael Douglas was humbled 'coz a fairly large number of people reacted and acted.

# 231 | GREAT NEWS

The majority of people don't want to watch Jennifer Aniston movies.

I feel so very, very sorry for all of you people who are being fooled by Brad and Angie. They are really making complete fools of you, as you clearly are lapping up all of their fake PR and phoney "charitable" gestures. I hope there are more of you than on this board if those two expect to sell movie tickets. Seems as though the overwhelming majority are on to these two morons. Brad has just fallen so far in life. Angie didn't fall far, because she's always been down in the mud. Nobody with an ounce of class or dignity would want to associate with these two, it's only people in the business or politics who want a photo at an event. They have no respect in the business or elsewhere. It's sad to see them make such a mockery of legitimate issues, not to mention what they've done by using those kids for their own PR. I'm glad the rest of the world sees them for what they are. Hopefully the kids won't be hurt to badly when they split up, especially when Angelina starts running her mouth off about it as she always does. Absolutely no class whatsoever.

The majority thinks that Party's over should cheer up and watch a Jen A movie.

#253...Rizos

Was that from the link? I couldn't get the link. What is the gist of it, if it isn't too much to ask.

#255....Anon
Precisely but they conveniently forget that part. Why should they remember, when it doesn't suit their purpose. Doctors should really look into this new wave of Amnesia that seems to be hitting some people.

real lou:
This is what the very articulate Ms. Aniston said in Vogue.


"I’m more… I like to be… I get really nervous about public anything when it’s making a declaration. I should probably become more opinionated about certain things. But you know, I just don’t like… I see a lot of… See, this is where I don’t want to get too into this, because, you know, I want to be very delicate about… actors going out there and… being… politicians. Or representatives of this and that. Which I find… It’s just not my thing. It’s not what interests me."


She is hiding her true feelings, never finishing her sentenses, so I fill in.

"I’m more AMBITIOUS ABOUT MY OWN CAREER AND DON'T HAVE TIME FOR CHARITY. I like to be, I REALLY REALLY LIKE TO BE AN OSCAR WINNING ACTRESS! I just don’t like TO BE COMPARED TO ANGELINA ON CHARITY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY I CAN WIN. I see a lot of STUPID YOUNG THING LIKE LINSAY LOHAN AND JESSICA SIMPSON TRYING TO EMULATE ANGELINA, AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD SHE IS BECOMING A ROLE MODEL. "I" SHOULD BE THE ONE BEING ADMIRED, NOT HER! See, this is where I don’t want to get too into this, because, you know, I want to be very delicate about HOW PEOPLE WOULD THINK OF ME, and actors going out there and, LIKE ANGELINA, being MUCH ADMIRED, WHO DOES THING SHE IS... politicians. Or representatives of this and that, LIKE ANGELINA. Which I find JUST TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITIES AND TOO MUCH WORK. IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO DO MY SPAS, PIRATES, YOGAS. CHARITY is just not my thing. It’s not what interests me."


It sems that Brad is helping EVERYONE these days!

It seems that Brad is helping EVERYONE these days!

http://www.wigantoday.net/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=66&ArticleID=1458843

Not only did M&MS made $479M World Wide. (yeah people really dislike them) It also made $57+M in rental alone and that's not including DVD sales. I don't have the DVD sales number. Anyone has the numbers to the DVD sales?

I would take Brad and Angelina anyday over JA.

I find Ms. Aniston NOT sincere at all. Everytime she speaks, her body language and her facial expressions shows opposite of what she says.

As a matter of fact, recently she made another good phrase for everybody "Don't make me your victim it make my skin craw." But, this is what I don't understand about her. She said that she is sick of the "Bermuda triangle" but when she was at Jay Leno show being interviewed...she then made another snide remark about Brad. So I don't get it. She says one thing and do the opposite.

I hope for jennifer's sake that she will find peace in her heart, but in order to do that, she needs to face the fact that, some of her problems started with her mother. She didn't talk to her mother for NINE YEARS and didn't even invited her on her wedding. She always talk about her friends but not her family or her MOM. Hmmm. I wonder why?

#260

Wow I don't blame her for not speaking on the causes she supposedly cares about because I would have a hard time understanding her.

Hey Party's Over you said you feel sorry for us that are fooled by AJ & BP, then I really do feel sorry for all you JA FANS that are fooled by her because she is the biggest FAKER is HW, whinning and giving pity parties and all you JA fans saying OH POOR JEN, oh please that woman fooled you guys and are still fooling you guys thinking she is a victim.

And I think you got JA mixed her with AJ, when you said that AJ like to run her mouth, the only person who been running her mouth and talking to anybody who would listen is your friend JA not AJ, that to tell you how much you know about AJ and don't feel sorry for the kids because they will be fine no matter what happen between BP & JA

I mean between BP & AJ

wow gael garcia and brad pitt!!

# 266 | Press Man |

Im sure Brad made more than that in endorsements. Maybe they are just calculating US only. Because he did ads for Edwin & Tag Huer (sp) and the jewelry co.

Well, more or less calm tonight. Of course, we will always have the "ignorant" with us. FYI, Brad was 2 credits away from a journalism career when he took off for Hollywood [and I bet his parents were having a fit too!]. I've never read a single bad word [except from X] about this guy. That says a lot to me. He's also been smart enough to make himself into one of the most in demand actors at the current time - as a matter of fact, he's probably feeling a little too "in demand" lately. He seems to know himself fairly well, and has been articulate in stating what it is he wants. If he had one flaw, it's probably that he's too soft toward women. He appears to have given JA every chance in the world, and MAY even be on hand to help her get her "career" off with the "Senator's Wife".

As to using their kids for PR - HUH? It seems like they've done everything they can to keep their kids out of it! What do you think the desire for privacy comes from? What are they supposed to do? Live in a bubble?

It always amazes me when people see what I see and take away a totally different meaning. I see Brad and Angelina in sunglasses, and later on see a video showing the walk through the airport. Well, NOW I know why they wear them! The flashes were going off at a rediculous rate! I'd probably have glasses on the kids too! I understand why they look fed up. Others complain that they aren't being "entertaning" enough. Well heck! This is their PRIVATE life we're intruding on! I applaud them for not taking turns hitting the razzis!

# 260 | Be sane : LOVED your interpretation of the VF article quote! After all the crap I had just read, it was just the laugh I needed. Thanks

African Girl!! Get to work! lol

It is often said that Brad just morphs into his partners and has a weak personality--he's a follower. Well, there have been changes in Angie's behavior that tells me that he does have influence and isn't merely an automaton. Prior to Angie being with Brad she was generally quite open about her private life--that was kind of her hallmark. She was very candid. Brad was never that open, he was generally pretty guarded. Now that Angie is with Brad, she isn't forthcoming about this relationship at all. When she was with Billy Bob she was makin' out with him on the red carpet. With Brad it's all denial, denial, and when they couldn't deny anymore, it's silence. This seems to me like Angie is following Brad's lead here. I mean now they have the government of an entire country protecting their privacy, so it doesn't sound like we'll be hearing any stories of swapping blood vials anytime soon.

He may change his look (a lot of times it's for movie roles, though) but that doesn't mean he has no impact on his partners. I imagine he has impact on them in ways we will never know because we don't see many aspects of their lives.

#274 Mickey said: "Well, there have been changes in Angie's behavior that tells me that he does have influence and isn't merely an automaton." I had noticed that as well. Good call. I also read he has the "Gwyneth haircut first and she followed him!

I think over the past few months it's been pretty well documented that Brad has taken on their security. I expect he's tearing what little hair Angelina left on his head out trying to figure out a place for them to be ALONE until the baby comes. Honestly, this should be such a happy time for all of them. I read someplace or other today that the green screen cuts off their view of the ocean!

I also think a lot of Angelina's openess was youth. I would think she'd be more cautious just because now she has kids, and she wouldn't want what she said to have a bad effect on them sometime in the future.

Aniston now has 'Friends With Money'

By CLAUDIA PUIG
USA TODAY
Jennifer Aniston doesn't seem to be venturing too far from her middle-class TV "Friends" to the world of "Friends with Money."

Rachel, her indelible sitcom character, has morphed into Olivia, the only one of four lifelong middle-aged gal pals who has no mate or successful career.

Aniston as Olivia, a former teacher who is now cleaning houses, is a mellow (sometimes downbeat) pot-smoker hooked on a married man.

Olivia may not be as likable as Rachel, but she is cut from the same cloth. Indeed, she could be the older sister of her character in "The Good Girl," the 2002 film in which she played a depressed, pot-smoking 30-year-old wife who takes up with a younger co-worker (Jake Gyllenhaal).

Though Aniston did a fine job in that film, lately she seems to be having a harder time finding the right role for her talents.

Her choices have been dicey.

In the past year she has starred in bombs like "Rumor Has It" and "Derailed." Before that, she had unmemorable parts in mediocre films like "Along Came Polly," "Bruce Almighty" and "Rock Star." It remains to be seen if her chemistry with Vince Vaughn in "The Break-up" -- opening in June -- will enable her to carve out a new life on the big screen.

Meanwhile, it's her co-stars who shine in writer-director Nicole Holofcener's witty ensemble comedy. Holofcener, who made "Lovely and Amazing" and "Walking and Talking," has a keen eye for the nuances of female friendships as well as for the tenuous comfort of financial stability. Her focus is trained squarely on the world of white, wealthy Southern Californians and she captures their milieu astutely.

Frances McDormand is excellent as a neurotic clothing designer and mother. She takes her part and makes it the most multi-faceted of all. She comes across alternatively as intelligent, thoughtful and frighteningly unhinged. Catherine Keener is also strong as a screenwriter whose marriage to her writing partner, played by Jason Isaacs, is splintering in the midst of their elaborate home remodel. Joan Cusack plays the third friend and the wealthiest, but the under-developed role doesn't tap her quirky humor.

The men are intended to take the backseat, but Simon McBurney, as McDormand's husband of murky sexuality, is as compelling as any of the women. His tentative search for connection outside of marriage is poignant and intriguing.

It's a likable film with some funny moments and recognizable human conflicts. But, the origin of the women's friendship is not explained, and the nature of Olivia's problems are not examined or taken very seriously, making her seem inexplicably lost and shallow.

Sharply observed and cleverly written, in the end it is also a bit superficial, like its characters' lives.

Rated R for language, some sexual content and brief drug use.


Journal, Pensacola Florida.

#274 Regarding the changes BOTH of them have done, you forgot:

Angie sold her England home.
Gave her love, blessing and consent to Brad for letting him adopt her children.
Coordinated a lof of her UN work so she can be with the kids and Brad.
Moved into HIS Malibu home.
Both coordinated their film schedules in NYC and CANADA so they could all be together.
Got pregnant.

# 276 | Lola : THANKS for that list and explanation. I have my doubts about #1. I think he's on the way down. Maybe not though. Maybe people will "forgive" the excesses he's been doing lately. It's hard for me to tell, because I NEVER liked the GMD. I would list Pitt ahead of Crowe too. But he's another one I just don't "get". His choices are not my cuppa I guess. Actually, I look at the list and there are only 3 I like a lot and one I don't "like" but respect and will see his movies.

did you all hear about Leo's leg? Not sure what happened, but yahoo has mentioned it.

Cannes Preview
source: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/22/092934.php

Last night the official selection was announced for the Cannes Film Festival. Characterised by the organisers as a "renewal year", 2006 does welcome a few new filmmakers to its very exclusive members club, while rewarding loyal regulars with coveted competition slots.

Wong Kar-Wai will preside over this year's jury, which features the usual mix of international actors (Monica Bellucci, Zhang Ziyi, Helena Bonham Carter, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth) and directors (Patrice Leconte, Lucrecia Martel, Elia Suleiman), but this year excludes academics, producers or writers.

The Caméra d'Or jury (Best First Feature) will be presided over by Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, double Palme D'Or-winners for Rosetta and The Child.

The official selection is made up of 55 films (including a mind-boggling 48 world premieres) representing 30 countries. However only 20 of these are in competition for the Palme D'Or.

The Festival opens with the dreaded adaptation of the over-rated and over-read The Da Vinci Code, from the Bland-and-Blander team of Tom Hanks and Ron Howard. The out-of-competition Cannes opener is usually a star-filled, paparazzi-baiting affair and is rarely taken seriously.

Not so the Official Competition. Once again, some of the world's most respected auteurs return: 2006 sees eagerly awaited new films from Nanni Moretti (Golden Palm in 2001 with The Son's Room), Aki Kaurismäki (Grand Prix 2002 for The Man Without a Past) and Ken Loach (Prize for Best Script in 2002 with Sweet Sixteen). Riding great advance buzz from its Spanish screenings is Volver, the new film from Cannes-habitué Pedro Almodovar (Best Director Prize in 1999 for All About My Mother) starring Penelope Cruz.

Along with many movie bloggers out there, I'm quite excited about the new crop of American indies making the cut: Sofia Coppola's intriguing period piece Marie Antoinette, Richard Linklater's ensemble drama Fast Food Nation and Richard Kelly's follow-up to Donnie Darko, the sci-fi musical Southland Tales. At 30, Kelly will be the youngest director in the 2006 competition.

Mexican genre-maestro Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy) will climb the stairs of the Palais for the first time with Pan's Labyrinth. Meanwhile, the red carpet may self-combust under the feet of the red-hot cast of Babel — Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu's follow-up to Amores Perros and 21 Grams stars Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal.

Other confirmed red carpet guests include Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Jean Reno, Penelope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Cillian Murphy, Kirsten Dunst, Judy Davis, Asia Argento, Marianne Faithfull, Steve Coogan, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, The Rock, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Gérard Depardieu, Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Ben Gazzara, Bob Hoskins, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gena Rowlands, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, and Kris Kristofferson.

Out-of-competition screenings include the usual summer blockbuster launches (Over the Hedge, X-Men: The Last Stand, United 93) but also some exciting new work such as the Al Gore global warming cautionary tale An Inconvenient Truth and John Cameron Mitchell's pan-sexual NYC ensemble Shortbus.

French actor Vincent Cassell (also partner to jury member Monica Bellucci) will MC the Opening and Closing Night Galas. The Festival starts May 17th.

All in all it's a mouth-watering program, perhaps lacking in controversy and a little heavy on the Hollywood heavyweights, but certainly likely to offer up a few surprises. I'll be blogging from France next month, and keeping you up to date on the buzz.

****BABEL*****
Opens in the US in October. I doubt Brad wll be in Cannes this year. Cannes Film festival is towards the end ot May. Too close to the birth of the third child. (Cannes is beautiful by the way. Reminds me of Beverly Hills).

To those HATERS who claim that Brad or Angelina do anyting for publicity, they are celebrities and anything they do will seem like publicity. The idea of publicty is to bring awareness to something that would normally be ignored and inspire some sort action.

Paris Hilton is the American example of the worst publicity ho ever. She beats everyone in America ten fold. She is the standard of overexposure right now. Most of the time she is in our faces for no reason at all. By comparison, BP & AJ have been really, really low key. The haters make it seem like they are everywhere but in reality they aren't. The only way they seem to be everywhere is that the haters SEARCH for them, cite fake news stories as fact then go blast them on blogs and other forums. Not even the entertainment shows present them every night (no news). They won't be either because it is MI3 time and for the next 3 weeks it will be nothing but Tom Cruise everywhere. This is required publicity.

Only the birth of baby Jolie Pitt will get rid of Paris Hilton & Tom Cruise off the news pages, and I can't wait.

# 281 | anon

Does that mean Brad's going to walk the red carpet at Cannes? I just can't see him doing it since Angie is due around the same time.

The green screen cuts off their view of the ocean!??!?! That's so awful. That's really terrible for them. They really do have difficult lives. Maybe the government can order everyone in Nambia but BAMZ + 1 killed so they can be ALONE and have a view of the ocean. That seems fair, since it's all about them. They're so charitable.

Party's Over: You have some very "interesting" reasoning what with the statement "Brad has just fallen so far in life"


Uh....I take it you mean from the divorce of his shallow wife and single-minded existence of red carpets and fake tans?

Yes, I can see how raising a family and getting involved in charity work is a "big fall," good thing you called him out *rolls eyes*

Party's over
Where have you been? You said the rest of the world at least know them for who they are. Where is that coming from? ARE YOU READING THE NEWS OR WATCHING TV? I am from Asia and I for one appreciate that these two people visited PAKISTAN mind you not to promote a movie but to see first hand the lives of the people devastated by the earthquake! Brad Pitt donated Hospital Beds (brand new worth $90k) for these people and the other help and services I would'nt anymore mention these two caring people have extended to others.
Please get the speck off your eyes so you can clearly see and please don't think your oponion is the same as the rest of the world for they are certainly not. Brad and Angelina are BIG in ASIA and THE REST OF THE WORLD..and that's the truth

# 257 | Party's over

It's actually party's over for JenAniston, 3 subsequent flop movies, tha's really party's over.

Party's not over!!! I haven't had my margarita yet!

Who want's a yellow bird? Elizabeth Taylor's drink of choice. That might knock your socks off!

DRINKS ON ME!!!

You better watch Friends with money 100 times, that's doing charity for Jen. Aniston, she going form A-list to C-list if this movie fail again.

“Friends with Money” tries to skate by on the depth of its
shallowness. The four lead women — three married mothers with
money and one with none of the above — crash into each other in
seemingly random groupings to gossip about the others that are
crashing and gossiping elsewhere. They talk about money. They
talk about love. They talk about nothing meaningful. They talk a
lot, but they never have anything to say.There’s a quote from
Aaron Sorkin’s short-lived “Sports Night” that seems to be
appropriate here. “I understand what makes a woman think that
any man is better than nothing. I’ll just never understand what
makes a woman think she’s got nothing.” Whether the women in
“Friends with Money” are dealing with men or money, they seem
to follow the same philosophy. They all think they’ve got nothing,
and they’re going tell you about it over and over again for an
agonizing 88 minutes."

OUCH!!

Gosh, this picture of Brad crying breaks my heart. That man is beautiful no matter what he is doing. I want my own Brad Pitt.

I also think he is crying because he is thinking of the 4 1/2 years he wasted with ugly fug Maniston. Her ugly face was teh motivation for the crying scene.

Braddy, I love you and the Goddess Angelina.

Maniston is a nasty lying b-actress fug.

Thank you

"Holofcener, who also directed “Lovely and Amazing” (2002), has many small and medium-sized perceptions—for instance, that the three women might keep Olivia around because she makes them feel better about themselves. The trouble with Holofcener’s scheme is that the center of the movie is dead. Olivia has no drives or hopes or powerful regrets. She has nothing to say, and Aniston does most of her acting with her lower lip, which she wrinkles and tucks under the upper one—it’s a technique, of sorts. She pulls so little out of herself that we lose all interest in her by the middle of the picture."

"A better character by far is Frances McDormand’s successful clothing designer, who has a good career and a nice husband yet throws noisy fits over such trivial matters as having someone grab her parking space or slow service in a restaurant. McDormand, setting her jaw and turning her voice into a chisel, brings her usual concentration to the snappish impatience of a woman whose rage is unappeasable because its only cause is the fear of life closing in on her. Catherine Keener and Jason Isaacs get a quick-tempo rhythm going as a pair of married screenwriters who turn every conversation into a fight; Joan Cusack is both warm and biting as a woman with very little to do; and round-eyed Simon McBurney, as McDormand’s husband, does something interesting and difficult as a gentle, slightly effeminate fellow so ambiguous in his manner that both men and women take him to be gay. McBurney, who looks a bit like a Beatrix Potter hedgehog, is essentially a theatre person, but, with the right roles, he could become a brilliantly commanding movie performer."


"center of the movie is dead" ; "does most of her acting with her lower lip." --- OUCH!!!

Looking at the main photo of Brad I was trying to figure out if his character is covered in dust/dirt and thats why his hair looks kind of salt and pepper, but maybe its his makeup job? Does anyone know of another other stills or photos of him from the movie, because in these (to me) he looks older (than his usual self) and a little worn/washed out. But perhaps its just the scene, and not his "look" for the role.

No, the green screen can't be that high, Della. They could probably see the ocean just fine. How would anyone know that anyway ... unless they've been in the house ? In that case why don't they give us better gossip than that?

Good on Brat and Angelina 2 of a kind great talent, about time he found some one to match his quality. jen was lucky but was never good enought a tree soapy star... glad to see her gone.
true talent neads true talent. Brad was supressed by JA. Wish them both the best and glad he dumped the bimbo.

Someone asked about Mr & Mrs Smith DVD Sales and Rental figures earlier . Found this and I must say its very impressive considering that the DVD was out on Nov 29, 2005 , the figures show that MMS is number 14 with sales and rental figure of $150 million tabulated on 1/1/2006 ... impressive very impressive considering the amount of sales in just one month !

http://www.dvdexclusive.com/charts_sellers_ytd.asp

It's all about Jen again isn't it? See you people can never give her up, you must have some hidden admiration and affection for her because each and every thread contains post after post about Jennifer Aniston. Look at that picture of Brad calling Jen begging her to take him back, poor guy, You all know that Angie is beating the beejeesus out of him... look at the condition he's in ........have you people no hearts!

Hehe #297: Just wanted to mention, Maniston is an ugly fug. Okay?

Thanks.

Oh, and Angelina is the sexiest woman alive on the top of every sexy list. Ouch! Sorry Maniston. You're fug.

Oh lookie...the BAMZ fans have their own fans! Hi hehe. *waves* We gonna collect quite a number of them.

MMS DVD sales

It's going to climb again once the unrated version comes out cuz doesn't most people wait for that one anyway?

BAMZ +1 For-evah!!

Hello mon amis! Looks like it was quite a day here today. As always
my hat is off to all the high conscious posts. Had some real
feebleminded cynics with arguments that mounted to aburdity at
best toady huh? . That "marmar"
claiming to be a lawyer , really took the cake for me. Her handle
suited her, all I could think of was what a sad excuse for representation she is.... and her arguments were trifiling. God help the poor people who would ever need public defenders like that. No one would ever pay for that. Thank God for judges.

My take is the same as it always is....... Regardless of what any of us say pro or con this couple will keep on following their hearts and doing what they will regardless of what anyone says. I imagine they might be pissin' off some reporters these days, but oh well if those reporter can't get it, that any couple about to birth their first child deserves respects and privacy, They deserve to get kicked in the ole ass by Mickey & the thugs. I don't see those photographers as anything less than bounty hunters too, If it were my husband he'd have busted one or two legs by now. Mickey is weighing in on the side of nice guy in my book.

Babel looks awesome. Still awaiting the extended version of MAMS.
Wonder how much that is going to pull in on top of everything else.

And as far as Brad and the NO competition. What a hero to jolt some lfe and rememberance into that awesome city. I was down there for 2 weeks with the Red Cross and I tell you, as a nation we should be so ashamed of the job this administration has done in light of this homeland sunami. I can't even get started...but believe me if I new all this $$ I am paying for increased gas prices was going to help the people in New Orleans I wouldn't say diddley....but .........what an embarrssment. I support Brad and Angie in whatever they do because whatever it is it is going to be
for the right reasons and for the right causes.

The haters can just go back to their meandering 'cuz they are all a part of what makes this world a sad place to live.

Gotta go. Babies to birth. Busy day.

BAMZ+1 Rules!

Golden couple...what makes a couple golden? They now refer to Jolie & Pitt as golden couple....why doesn't that bode well with me (lol). I believe there is a curse that comes with the title. I'm sure if we look into, we'll see a pattern with being referred to as the Golden Couple. This is the mission, if you choose to accept it.....(please no rotten tomatoes. It was the only appropriate phrase in this situation).

# 248 | African Girl | April 22, 2006 10:29 PM

Let us not put "Golden Couple" tag to BP & AJ. For me, Golden Couple refers to a fairy tale and we know how most of the fairy tales relationship or marriage end.

Brad Pitt's fan base is so huge internationallly. Nothing has changed in terms of his clout in the industry, reputation and box office power, no matter how much Jen fans and Jolie-Pitt haters would like to believe. To their horror, by uniting with an Oscar-winning bombshell and joining forces in humanitarian efforts, his status has risen and his visibility is now multi-fold.

Most of Pitt's fans have been there with or without JA, and many were in fact lukewarm towards her from the beginning. If his movies bomb, it's because of the MOVIE itself like all other bombed movies, most definitely not because of his divorce.

Did anyone in the movie business care about Julia Roberts homewrecking and stealing a husband? Did box office care? How about Claire Danes stealing a husband of pregnant Mary Louise Parker? Both actresses seem to be doing just fine career wise.

http://www.dvdexclusive.com/charts_sellers_ytd.asp

Thanks for this information. This means that Gross BO and DVD Sales and Rental would combine for a total of $628 million dollars worldwide. And this is only as of the 1st of January. This does not take account the last 3 months of contant media attention since the announcement of the pregnancy. Also, as mentioned earlier the new unrated MAMS will be released June 6th and should contributed significantly to the overall gross.

BP/AJ involvement in so many humanitarian projects even during her pregnancy is truly great.His NO project will boost the rebuilding and restoration of the city.No secret about his passion for architecture /design. He will get enormous support . Also upcoming architects/designer will have a chance to showcase their talent. Some people think brad should do more like H. Connick jr. Connick jr. was born,raised in NO. His father was an elected official of the city for a long time.Their home also suffered some damages during katrina. It is just natural for connick jr. to to lead all efforts toward rebuilding the city. To discount brad's effort is plain mudslinging/malicious at best.
Like also to mention JA's concern about DARFUR.
World should be aware of what's happening out there.Birth plan in Namibia is perhaps their idea to focus attention to Africa. Admire their unselfish goals.

Are the figures you are quotating for DVD sales and rentals only involve US data. I am sure the figures would be bigger if international data are included.

OOOH! Type-O sweetie. Major type-o. JA's concern for Darfur? - unless Darfur was having a sale on Prada shoes or Pedicures.

I think you mean AJ. Honey! Please be careful when you type - you gave me a scare there.

JA can't even spell Darfur, let alone care.

Hi BAMZ+1 Peeps! “:)
Comments? Let me see now…

# 253 | anon |

*slaps ya a big high five*
Michael Douglas most certainly did see the error of his ways/big mouth, “quick smart”, after having made those utterly “stupid comments” re: BP & AJ! (Right before his movie release mind you, so how stupid is that ole fart? I think he got caught out doing a major TC/GMD mouth purge moment!) Notice the speed at which a complete denial of that incident took place, him blaming the reporter for skewing his words etc... (Reminds me of a Britney! "The Paps are to blame! The Nanny is to blame! The high chair is to blame! etc...) Mind you, he still saw the need to send off a personal apology to both Brad & Angie! and for what? something he never even said in the first place? What a BIG BRAVE, STRONG MAN he turned out to be! The HW "Power Honcho"! Probably totally “pussy whipped” by Catherine, for no doubt she has the “hots” for Brad too. Lmao
However, HE bowed to the mighty power of the "force" that is BP & AJ!!!

I agree guys. I hate that term the “golden couple” too! Let’s face some facts here NB. ALL HATERS! “Life tends to happen, while people are off busy making plans!” Hence, why I luv this couple so much! Brad at 42, got fed up listening to “promises” & "waiting"! Actions speak far louder than words! Hell! I can relate! At 42 you don’t want to be missing a second of your life! Maybe you “young wee haters” will gain that wisdom with age as well.

She is honest, straight down the line, even if it hurts!!! Now Madge??? She is a whole different kettle of fish! and as to Guy's reaction? I don't think it would be too pleasant! lmao (Besides, I think that pair is now at the stage where they are merely going through the "motions"...if ya get me drift...Splitsville is only 5 minutes/miles away!)

its a shame hes going, make the most of it! if you like him that is. you only live once! i met someone on holiday once and i so regret it, i could have eaten him alive but i was so shy, trust me im not a shy girl but i couldnt. go figure. lol

she is still #2 !

I'm an avid moviegoer and am always willing to pluck down my $10 for a movie that I think will be decent. I have to say, though, that its been a long time since I saw a movie I thought was great and worth the $10. That's what I'm loving so much about Brad right now. He's seems sincerely committed to finding quality projects for Plan B and also committed to starring in quality movies in the future. He truly loves film, maybe he will save the movie industry yet. Keep up the good work, Brad.

On a side note, Michael Douglas's new movie, The Sentinel, received a one star review in our local paper, sounds like it might be a real bomb. He probably won't be making any more Brad and Angelina comments anytime soon.

BAMZ+ new Baby fans,GOOD MORNING this is the article about Jenny Shimuzi dishing on Madonna, I wish this time she will get a good but kicking from Madge!


"Jolie's lesbian ex reveals Madonna affair
Sunday, April 23 2006, 09:22 BST - by Daniel Kilkelly

Jenny Shimizu is claiming that she once had an affair with Madonna.

The model, who last week spoke about her relationship with Angelina Jolie, has revealed how the Queen of Pop chose her for romance.

"She spotted me on a casting video and called me out of the blue," Jenny told the News of the World. "She asked me to dinner and I went to her house. Nothing happened that night, but we both felt an immediate attraction.

"Then two days later I went back to a party and instantly we both knew that we'd end up in bed together. From the age of 14 I'd watched her videos and thought, ‘I'm going to have sex with that gorgeous woman one day.' And that night my fantasy came true - again and again and again."

# 339 | Medulla
*************
I think it's safe say that Jenny is grasping for straws..not only is her career over, but I doubt anyone will want anything to do with that dried up malodorous snatch...(that's stinky for those that don't know)..

RE: People poll for Who's the all-time Most Beautiful woman? You can vote again after a couple of hours. I tried and it worked.

# 339 | Medulla | April 23, 2006 10:47 AM

This woman is just trying to get her name on the news again. Whatever she had with AJ and Madonna was over long long time ago. Unfortunately, British newspapers do love to print these kind of stories.

Are we supposed to be surprised/shocked with her stories about AJ and Madonna? To be honest, I thought both are a bit boring since they become a mother.

BAMZ+new Baby fans , here is one more:

Angelina Jolie’s lesbian lover was Madonna’s sex slave!

London, Apr.23 (ANI): It seems that actress Angelina Jolie isn’t the only famous Hollywood celebrity that Jenny Shimizu has slept with, for she also admits to being the queen of pop Madonna’s sex slave.

Shimizu, who is said to have had an eight year lesbian relationship with Jolie, revealed that Madonna was as sensational’ lover as the ‘Lara Croft’ star.

“It’s most guys’ ultimate fantasy to bed Angelina or Madonna. But I’m a girl and I was sleeping with both of them-at the same time. They were both sensational lovers who got incredibly turned on by the touch of another woman,” the Newsoftheworld quoted her, as saying.

Shimizu said that she had hooked up with Madonna after catching the singer’s eye during a casting video, and that she had been the ‘Hung Up’ singer’s ‘booty call’.

“She spotted me on a casting video and called me out of the blue. She asked me to dinner and I went to her house. Nothing happened that night, but we both felt an immediate attraction. Then two days later I went back to a party and instantly we both knew that we’d end up in bed together....I was her secret ‘booty call’ available any time of the day or night for secret sex sessions,” she added. (ANI)

BAMZ+1 fans, I never hear of Lebian HOOKER but I think Jenny is a cheap hooker, ready on booty call when ever ,where ever and however for what ever. NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the latest article on the seeking of privacy in Namibia. Note that the locals have been "kind" and "gracious", it's only those who deserve it getting the smackdown.

Pregnant Jolie, Pitt Seek Namibia Privacy
Apr 23, 9:17 AM EST


Namibian authorities are clamping down on journalists trying to follow Brad Pitt, pregnant Angelina Jolie and her two adopted children after the couple asked for some privacy, according to a newspaper report Sunday.

South Africa's Sunday Times said the couple's security chief gave a local journalist a statement asking that they be left alone.

"We love Africa and to be here in Namibia with our family is very special for us," the statement said. "To the local people who have been so kind and gracious, thank you for making us feel at home.

"As for the press, we kindly ask for privacy so that we can enjoy this beautiful country with our children."

The statement was signed by both Jolie and Pitt.

The Sunday Times said its own photographer and three French photographers were ordered to leave Namibia or face arrest. Journalists require accreditation to work in the country.

Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula defended the move, saying the couple should be left alone.

"This lady is expecting," he told the Sunday Times. "You guys are harassing her. Why don't you allow her some privacy? Harassment is not allowed in Namibia.

"If a person says they don't want to be photographed then, of course, that person deserves protection."

The couple and their entourage are staying at the luxury Burning Shores resort hotel between the scenic old colonial German town of Swakopmond and the resort of Walvis Bay, in an area where the desert sand dunes descend spectacularly to the sea.

Despite tight security, photographers have managed to snap images of Hollywood's hottest couple.

The Sunday Times said Jolie and Pitt were spotted last week at a local Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet with her children, Maddox and Zahara, and then went to a pet store to buy a turtle.

They also visited a jewelry shop.

A Namibian official said last week that Jolie might have Pitt's baby in the southern African nation.

Jolie, who starred with Pitt in the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," was first in Namibia when filming the movie "Beyond Borders" in 2002.

Namibia, rich in diamonds and strategic metals and home to 1.8 million people, gained independence from neighboring South Africa after a 23-year war in 1990 and has since been ruled by a democratically elected government.

The country is a popular tourist destination for South Africans for its brilliant scenery and teeming wildlife.

I do not think you can revote. The system is probably programmed not to accept a revote. This can be checked through the cookies.

# 350 | stef
they forgot one.. SYFH
Shut your f'n hole................that comes in handy when dealing with ex's...

ANON...
oh bum, thanks for letting us know, i did wonder why it has not changed everytime i voted.
shame. lol

STEEF hi ,
I already said that she is a reincarnation of an n AFRICAN QUEEN just take a look at those perfect ,symetrical, plump, juicy lips of hers # 1 in Holywood even Halle who is black does not have them, sorry Halle you cannot be #1, because Queen ANGIE is!
So BAMZ+1 FANS let's vote for ANGIE over and over!

rudedog...
LMAO,ROTF! love it i'll remember that!
oh congrates on the job! any idea when your going to move over?

she seems to win over all the people with authority, she will take over the world! now she is a citizen of cambodia, where is next? oh i love her, shes top dog! (not meant in a nasty way!) lol

# 358 | stef
hopefully the first week in July..that way I can celebrate my independence in another country..I'm dealing with a mountain of bureaucratic b.s. now. I have my house to sell, which hopefully the relocation company will handle and school to finish. I have some spies looking for me a place to live in Toulouse as we speak.. I'm selling both my car and truck, but the Harley is going with me...even French chicks dig Harleys...lol

good for you mate, i hope it all goes well and not too stessful!

# 361 | stef
that's why they make Wild Turkey...

#317, Anyone that goes to KFC is okay in my book! Angie must of had a craving for biscuits!They're just trying to be a normal family. As normal as they can be.
ROCK ON BAMZ+1
So looking forward to the birth of their baby!

Happy to read the family was able to get a meal from the KFC . A little reminder of their homeland.
For them to do shopping with few or no paps on their tail is fantastic.
Their security staff deserves commendation. The family esp. AJ need rest and stressless days as the due date gets nearer. They will be bombarded with congratulatory calls from families/friends and perhaps from dignitaries they met while doing their humanitarian projects.
AS we all know,money speaks.Photos of the new baby is now being valued in millions. Lucky is the word for the one who gets it. I just hope he/she will be a healthy one.

lotte...
i bet you that brad will sell a picture for charity, as he said in diane sawyers interview, if he had of know how much the mags paid for the picture of them on the beach he would have set it up himself, and given the proceeds to charity! i recon we will see it soon after, cos then it should take the pressure off! i wish they do get some peace as everyone deserves that! lots of people say theyshould expect it because it comes with the job! well we are all allowed time off! eh! i cant imagine an average joe working on their day off and not getting paid! i work in a business and when my boss phones me on my day off i dont answer, we all have the right! just like they do. its a shame people dont see that!
oh KFC, all good! the KFC's in africa taste different too, a lot nicer! trust me!

"Friends w/Money" is now up to $5.3 million total through this past
weekend; respectable because it is still on only about 1,000 screens
but it won't break JA's losing streak.

The healthy one should be the baby.! ! Don't care if the paps be eaten by mosquitoes or chased by wildlife. That's what they'll get for not leaving the family alone. Sorry . hungry for lunch.
Now iam craving for KFC.

# 366 | kidi
hahahaha on "it won't break JA's losing streak".

Deng, I want some KFC biscuits now..:drools: I luv 'em biscuits!! biscuits!!!

BAMZ+1 fam & fans rock!!!

I had KFC last night for dinner, ROCK ON BAMZ+1

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The Nightmare Continues
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Cris Bergman
Apr 22, 2006

I'm sure it sounded romantic. Escape the awful US and all the baggage of the fans and the paparazzi and head to the refined countries of Europe to await the birth of their first baby.


A Prison of Their Own Making?

But they wound up in what was reported as a stinky, smelly dump of an apartment in Paris and have now shifted to Africa where Jolie may give birth.

That's not going well either if reports are accurate- in Africa the Brad and Angie nightmare continues.

***

Star Magazine gives this report:

On April 16, their desperation reached new levels- Angelina and Brad ordered security guards to “shrink-wrap” the entire villa they rented on the Atlantic Ocean.

Add to that the kids are bored, the weather is hot and thundery, and Angelina and Brad are tearing their hair out- in a prison of their own making.

Tall green sunshades were erected around the low key Burning Shore beach Lodge near Swakopmund, and now the couple can't even see the ocean, which is the main reason tourists flock to this stretch of coast.

Plus, they set up giant spotlights to scan the beach at night, adding to the prison yard atmosphere.

Add to that locals have criticized the stars for spending more than a quarter of a million dollars- for security and for renting the entire lodge for two months. “These people made their money from being in the public eye.

Surely, it would be a small price to pay to have people recognize them or take some pictures,” says a local resident. “Instead there is an army of aggressive bodyguards who menace anyone on the beach. The atmosphere has gone very sour."
**********************************
Some more factual info from Meth Lab Weekly..

It looks like Julia Roberts may wish she was doing Oceans 13 with Brad instead. Here is the first paragraph of the article.


Julia Roberts Fails to Move Broadway Critics
By Claudia Parsons
Reuters
NEW YORK (April 20) - Julia Roberts is still Hollywood's ultimate "Pretty Woman" but her first venture onto a Broadway stage failed to convince the critics whose verdict was "modest," "flat" and "lackluster."

This strikes me as funny ... the "locals have criticized the stars for spending more than a quarter of a million dollars- for security and for renting the entire lodge for two months." I'm pretty sure that "the locals" wouldn't resent people spending so much money on their area -- after all, isn't that why they have these resort lodges -- so that people would come as tourists and SPEND money? Now here's a couple who are spending almost a million dollars on their town -- how could they resent them? Star Magazine is really reaching on this one. Too bad that some people would believe them.

# 11 | BradShitt | April 22, 2006 11:37 AM
Yes Africa is more important than Katrina victims. New Orleans is located in the most powerful country in the world with billions if not trillions of $ at its disposal. Africa has no such backing. African nations have nowhere to turn to but die of hunger.
Angelina Jolie turns our attention to the issues of our planet. The US is not an island.
And you dear poster are a narrow minded racist indoctrinated by American flag waving on every street corner.
Africa is way more important than Katrina victims. Your own racism and of people like you has created the inner cities in all major US cities. You are the reason and your racist views that were the cause of American blacks waiting for help for days. No one really cared about them. US govt waited for them to die in the streets. So don't talk about Katrina when you didnt even care. You are hypocritical, not globally aware Angelina and Brad.

"When asked whether he himself had a work permit, the chief of the Jolie-Pitt security team, Mickey Brett, said he didn't need one because he was in Namibia on holiday."

PB&J = Double Standards

melissa IMO i think the locals have said nothing of the sort! the star prob made it up. making them out to be bad,cos that sells more than a humble happy couple!

# 373 | melissa
I found it quite humerous myself. I bet the lodge has made more money in the past month than it has all year.. I can only imagine the tips they leave. I would say neither is known for being a cheapskate...

PB&J?

Is that peanut butter and jam?LOL

# 378 | eh?
I think it is pea brain and jerkoff..Peter Pan they ain't...

nothing new here...
he is on holiday, a holiday of which has been kindly paid for by his employers who appreciate what he does for them.
he returns his thanks of a lovely holiday by saying a few words to people who are trying to make money on an innocent holiday, not just any holiday but a private personal getaway form the press, so that they as family and friends can welcome a new edition with out worrying about the price on their childs head. for that amount of money people PAPS will do anything even ilegal stuff!

ahhh then 'nothing new here' was talking about vince vaughn (jerkoff) and jen aniston (pea brain) in that last statement. makes more sense that way.

# 380 | stef
Mickey is not known for his diplomacy and can be an ass, however under the circumstances, I believe he is the right person for the job...

A Girl posted:
I am in awe of this person. Goodness, I don't know what to say. I pray God gives him the strength and wisdom to complete this project."


Don't worry - The organization may have negotiated a deal with a celebrity that helps both parties, but that doesn't mean they will let him take them "down"

Their disclaimer: "There will be a lot of EXPERIENCED people on there as well as Brad."

(my work experience includes non-profit branding and marketing.)

# 381
I hear what you're screamin'...lol

i think it's fun to read when people like 'vast majority' and 'party's over' come over to play here. a lot of mileage of out making fun of them. maybe they can bring over their friends next time, like 'ocean screamer' and 'fake fan girl'.

"All celebrities are involved in some kind of charity work or other. It's a part of their job. I would venture that many of them are in fact far more involved than brad, or angelina even, but don't make as much of a fuss about it"

So true.So true.
Many of them give millions anonymously
(including Oprah, although she has a harder time keeping it under the radar). Jessica Simpson was involved with Operation Smile before she even became a big tabloid star (give credit due). On the other hand, I've never been tempted to join her fan club, hang on her every word, and act like she can do no wrong as a result.

Sometimes timing is everything--and it's always good reason to question motive if you are not of the "easily led" sort.

why this obsession with giving anonymously. i think there is a time and place for it. if you want the charity to get free publicity isn't that the best thing to do? oprah talks about her angel network all the time. that's the point isn't it? so that it's in the people's mind, it's in their face, it's in their conscious. maybe some of you are just really socially aware and you make darn sure you know about all of these various charities, but not everyone is like that. also, even if a person wanted to give to charity, there are so many bogus charities that i would be afraid to give my money to some organization that's just going to pocket the money instead. there is a reason why people like to use celebrities. pr, their fans will donate, and their fans might volunteer, all of that stuff. so people who just scream let's keep it anonymous forget the good that can come with it. also for something like what brad is doing here, it needs to be publicized because it's a competition.

# 272 | Original curious - you are quick to attribute AJ's past mistakes and bad example to to her 'youth". However, you may want to first verify Angelina's age at the time Maddox was TWO or THREE years old. She gave an interview referencing her lovers, commenting (or boasting, perhaps?) that she could summon them to her hotel and bed with just a phone call." I do not recall that interview being a tabloid article, but I supposed we can both go looking for the link if you like.

# 352 | remember the truth

they don't have popeye there??? i love their biscuit than kfc....don't throw the chicken bones to me ah ah....that's the truth...nothing but the truth....for me....popeye's biscuit is the best...

enough about fried chicken..he! he!.... i love that they are enjoying their vacation....just my guesstimate.... my chickie babe is not going to give birth next month but the month after next...and they are waiting for for families to join them for summer vacation...that will be fun..all the family together..his and hers...

and for those posters posting nasty comments....they are pitiful people...period...no need to try to reason with them....they're just nasty, depressed, and pitiful....

Before recommending the movie about RWANDA again, you may want to read and include the link to the article published by People Mag (the unofficially recognized bible-of-BAMZERs everywhere).


# 385 | balls, no chains
what is there to question? Brad and Angie do not need the publicity..They are both in demand for Hollywood regardless of thier charity work..In thier case they use thier "status" to bring attention to a problem..it's not always about money. It takes volunteers as well. Why do people want to continually dog them for what they do? They owe none of us any explaination for thier deeds

recommending the movie about RWANDA

one can still enjoy a movie and recommend it because it was a good movie and it touched you.

#370 Rudedog

Here's a new story that kind of contradicts the Star...no surprise there...It may not be the great escape they wanted, but it's not that bad either! They're getting help for the gov-o-mint. The Jolie-Pitts doing their best Greta Garbo impression say they "want to be left alone". Check out this nes AP article I just saw a few minutes ago - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060423/ap_en_mo/people_pitt_jolie;_ylt=Agl.vje3K5rIgX709v.iFFOs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3YXYwNDRrBHNlYwM3NjI-

# 341 | Medula - agree. Kinda of makes you wonder why Angie said she would marry her if she could, and why she 'cheated' with her during her marriage to Jonny Miller.

#387 bellabeesting,Angelina said that she kept the men she was seeing away from Maddox and met them at hotels.She also stated that to bring a man into her home she took that very seriously.Guess who she allowed in her home Brad and they have been together eversense.Alot of single mothers keep the men they see from their childern.If the relationship is not serious and committed why bring the kids into it.Angelina also stated in late 2004 or early 2005 that she wasn't seeing anyone and that the next man she became involved with would have to become Maddox's father and that would have to be permanent.That shows me she took stock of the situation and made some life choices about the men in her life,she is thinking long term and family.

i'm already sane...
hey if you dont like the fact i recommended a film for others, thats cool, dont watch it then. the film is based on a true story and it is an eye opening story, as for the BIBLE as you put it, i do not live in the states so whats my BIBLE then eh?
cos i think as a fan i should know what i must read to be part of everything....
why would i need to put a link for my opinion?
sorry dont get ya!

eh...
thanks, that was all i was doing, and it was yesturdays chat, so i dont know why i got pulled up for it.

# 392 | Passing Through "gov-o-mint"
lol sounds like Memphis...yeah that article has more factuality about it...

hi stef. i thought it was a silly thing to say anyway because if in that case, one can never enjoy any movie based in any way on historical fact. as they are rarely ever 100% accurate. gladiator? full of inaccuracies.

I just now found this new thread when I went to post the AP article link to the BP Shopping thread. I was wondering why the other blog was so deserted and realized JJ must've put up a new picture. So, if find it's already got 390 posts and I went back to the top to read. After I read the first hater post I realized I hadn't missed a damned thing. It doesn't matter what B/A do these days because the haters always manage to take time out of their full and busy lives to come here and spend the day posting nasty comments about them. I rather dread for their baby to be born because these assholes are going to say the worst things imaginable about that innocent child. The anti-BAMZ crowd has quickly gone from being amusingly annoying to being scarily violent. I just hope none of these lame ass people have children. God help the poor kids if they do.

# 393 | whose truth?
Jonny Lee Miller is gay..if I was Angie I would have blown his ass off too...give me break..

rudedog
am i wrong or did jenny s "say" (she did say that she never said any of those things, but let's just take it that she did in fact say those things) that johnny miller was present? so is it cheating if your husband condones it?

eh...
i thought this film although it was a tough watch was very well made, it has the shock appoach! it definatly did that! i spent the whole film with my hand clasped around my mouth! its crazy what some people have to experience, all because of your race. concidering we are born equal, but how can that be. oh thisgets me it really does.
have you seen the film?

passing through...
im just hoping that they are all cocky in front of there computer, but i hope they are sad little shits that couldn't say boo, to a goose! this is what i am hoping for. it rediculous, they just bash everthing, i recon they are really just as interested but, just cant admit it to themselves.
the only word for them is SAD.

yes, i've seen it and i thought it was a great film and i always love don cheadle. in fact i own it, but it's been a while since i last saw it. it reminds me of the killing fields in a way. i've been told by people who went through the whole vietnam war experience first hand that the killing fields is very accurate.

# 400 | eh
hey if I was her husband I wouldn't have cared..at the time Jenny was very attractive..I believe Angie has grown up alot since that time. I doubt very seriouly you will ever hear in candid interviews from her again on her personal life.

"Friends w/Money" is now up to $5.3 million total through this past
weekend; respectable because it is still on only about 1,000 screens
but it won't break JA's losing streak.

# 364 | kidi
+++++++++

Oh darn. The best way for her to break her losing streak is to stop making movies. We couldn't get that lucky. Financing a flick with her in it is just a big ass waste of money unless you've got a huge star for the male lead.

rudedog

haha i bet! two goodlooking gals going at it, isn't that every guy's fantasy?!! although i did talk to a guy once and he said it's not as good as one might think. but he's just selfish and wants a girl all to himself.

this is effin hyterical...watch it!!!

# 405 | Passing Through
I think a movie with her staring as a mannequin would be very entertaining..oh shit that's what she does now...

eh...
i have not seen that one, i really would like to now you have said that. i'll have to look it up. i too own Hotel Rwanda i have done for sometime but i only brought up the courage to watch it last night, i think its one i'll have to watch again, as i think i missed bits in the language. i'll have to wait awhile, im still digesting it.

passing through
i say that's pretty respectable for a small movie like that because it's only on about 1000 screens. also production cost about $5M but who knows how much they spent on publicity for it. i can see them barely getting their money's worth over the long haul. i read that review above with the new yorker and i loved that bit about her acting with her lower lip or something like that.

# 406 | eh
hmmm I would want both to myself...what does that make me?

havent yall heard, that brad still WANTS ta work w/ Jen on the Senators wife. Theyre not dissin' each other or hatin on each otherso y do yall have to hate on 1 another?

rudedog, is that you? remember me? you went to europe and i'm still counting those damn rocks...

stef

killing fields is a very good movie about a war, one of the best i would say and the music at the end is really heart-rending.

# 92 | Della

indeed…"How can people hate someone the have never met?” and your response is, “You could probably find out by asking someone who loves someone they've never met.”

we don't know these celebrities...we are FANS...and they were our IDOLS…movie stars….and as such we either like or dislike some of them…I think you used the word “DEITY” loosely to compare to IDOL….coz deity is like GOD…and these celebs are certainly not GOD…there’s only one GOD to worship….i and the others who posted onto these blogs are not worshiping these celebs…we don’t pray to them to save us from harm. Led us to safety…and all the things you say when you are praying…I am certainly not…I am offended that you think I worship these celebs…I am a FAN…PERIOD and as a fan…I love bamz+1…as a fan it is better to love than to hate...it is better to admire than to despise....i know i know...i never never like ja but I never hate or despise her…only her actions and words…I don’t know her…but she put herself on my face with all her interviews…so at least I know something about her…and her actions and words with this so called Bermuda triangle I hate and despise…again…contradicting herself you say…the thing that I hate about her is saying all these things in her interview….reliable interview…vf…gq…etc…not from those tabloids…star…inquirer…whatever….

Thus I am a bamz+1 fan not a worshipper and certainly this family is not a deity…they are celebrities!!

to whoever posted that comment upon that I am one and the same with other non-BAMZ fans. I have not posted under those other names before. I usually post late at night, hence: YAWN, esp since it also reflects my opinion of all things brangelina these days. Surely even the fans have to be reaching saturation unless you have no other hobbies.

So to # 58 | BAMZ +1 rox = the is not the most important point, maybe, but it does seem part of the madness. It's pretty apparent that many of you like to blame JA for all brangelina problems, but on the "bad hygiene" issue I don't believe Jennifer Aniston is responsible for that rumor.

I say that because pre-Angelina, in fact pre-Gwynn I was somewhat more impressed with Brad's "look" that I am now. So once in a while while "dissing" a person who seemed somewhat too self-aborbed I would often say "it's not like he looks like Brad Pitt or anything". And I often got responses like "probably smells better though" or "at least he bathes".

Sorry, don't really know why, but there seems to be a lot of people in America at least who have had the idea that Brad Pitt isn't conscientious about hygiene for a long time. Don't know where that got it's start, but it definitely wasn't just from his recent wearing of the same old hat and boots. And it wasn't a rumor started by Jen A.

Someone told me that Brad himself started it by saying he didn't like to bathe everyday. I'm sure you can all waste a whole of lot of time now looking up, and maybe even proving that what he said was taken out of context. Have at it. I'm just telling you that it wasn't Jen Aniston started the rumor but it is plain as anything, when all else fails, many of you like to blame her for all Brad's problems now.

See you the next time I get insomnia and feel like
amusing myself with the the latest 'personal' conversations and "mind reading" experiences you have had with Brad and Angie.


Fair is fair, fan or not.

I can tell you for fact that people in Italy do not bathe everyday but I would call that lack of hygiene. I sometimes wear my DW (drumworkshop) hat several days in a row and that doesn't make me stinky...good grief where do you folks come up with this stupid shit?

# 399 | rudedog

Is he really gay? LOL I always wanted them to get back together. I'm a fan of B & A now, though.

"RE: People poll for Who's the all-time Most Beautiful woman? You can vote again after a couple of hours. I tried and it worked."

AND YOU PEOPLE CALL JEN ANISTON FANS TROLLS?

Please. Can anybody here say hypocrisy?

sometimes one just knows not to take something seriously. like this 'bad hygiene' business. but surprisingly enough, some people do take it seriously. go figure. it's a good thing that 'yawn' and brad pitt isn't going to be in the same vicinity, you know in case he stinks so bad he blows you away. jenn's nose was obviously immune to the smell and gweneth couldn't get enough. angie on the other hand, she's just a tough woman.

eh...
that must be another film to do with vietnam then. still ill check it out. thanks for the info.

p.s. from Yawn

troll is someone who "posts inflammatory, rude or offensive messages designed to annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion."

voting for a celebrity is not being a troll.

# 412 | lj
Re: Senator's wife
Someone posted earlier that is the remaining project JA has to do with Plan B and IMDB listed her as a star and a producer. Pitt has no control over it. That article sounds planted, as JA's camp actually "wants" BP back on, or just simply a fabrication is my guess.

Rudedog:
What are you doing on this fine Sunday on a computer? Missing B-n-C?? I'm at office myself and it's sunny outside finally here in NYC. I have friends in Toulouse. Looking for a house or apartment? in town or outside?

"PB&J" was intentional and not a typo. A non-BAMZ fan made a few joking references to it in another thread when they got the BP/AJ letters a little scrambled pu. Rudedog, pea brain and jerkoff works just fine, too. In fact, even better.

true giving
did you read what i wrote your did you stop at that sentence?

if you want to get into the meaning of 'selfless' is giving to charity truely selfless? there is an argument that it is not.

Give me a break about this trash about Brad smelling bad. That same stuff has been said about Matthew McConaughey and Colin Farrell. It just one more way to get down on Brad because he wanted a divorce from JA and now has a relationship with Angelina.

# 393 | whose truth?
Jonny Lee Miller is gay..if I was Angie I would have blown his ass off too...give me break..
# 399 | rudedog
-----------------------

And you base your opinion of Jonny Miller's sexual orientation on _________? Fact? Or personal experience?

just the facts pls
really? when did one of the haters ever want just the facts? that's new! hooray! i say we hit bingo.

Brad's Hygiene: "I'm just telling you that it wasn't Jen Aniston started the rumor"

How do you know? I thought JA was his wife and sleeping with him for 7 years. If anybody knows, that's her. Likely her big mouth told the big mouth Courtney Cox. Anyway JA strikes me like a kind of woman who can't wait to jump off the bed and into the shower after sex.

Whatever this nonsense is, he was obviously able to procreate and all doctors gave it a go. So much for Hygiene. How stupid. Maybe he uses Chanel Homme. It's niiice.

# 439 | just the facts pls
figure of speech...however feel free to fill in your own blank...or do you question your own sexual orientation...I could see where you would be confused..oh and that was by osmosis...

gweneth couldn't get enough. angie on the other hand, she's just a tough woman.
# 426 | eh | April 23, 2006 03

Re; gwynetth - and to think, just yesterday BAMZ fans were praising Brad for being a gentleman because he didn't tell the world Gwynn cheated on him.

excuse me?
what are you on about? it makes no sense. it truely doesn't. oh yea by the way, you realize that was tongue in cheek right? or did you believe the jenn bit too?

Help me make my wildest dream ever come true

'I've got something "else" I'm working on now...lol

OK, that's a tough job but somebody's got to do it. So many
'possibilities', so little time... :)

# 438 | alero- I'm sorry you didn't read all the above post. The 'Brad has bad hygiene' discussion has been going on in America for a very long time. You really can't blame Jen for
everything. And I'm a half-hearted fan, at least of MZ.

not JEN
yea, it's tough to blame jenn for something that's not true. shoot. i always hate that.

no, I disregarded the Jen bit. I am a fan of Gwynn's but not a fan of B/A....or for that matter B.O.

Who cares if someone GIVES publically or anonymously? The bottom line is you GAVE and people are getting HELP!

Re: Friends/Money....This woman was smart to sign up for a
bunch of movies at the time she left Friends because no one
would sign her for much $ now. Something tells me The Break-up
is going to have a fairly decent opening weekend before the
stench of another Aniston stink-bomb permeates the multiplexes.

# 446 | Be sane
2 months before I leave...that's enough time to divide and conquer..There's this sweet girl that works at the airport at the Godiva Chocolate gig..she looks like she could use a "rude awakening"...lol

Give or take a little here & there, but on the whole, In my opinion this is BP/AJ all the way. the only thing I had an issue with was the so-called wondering eye of the Sag since it's never been something BP has ever been accused of by any of the woman he's ever been with.....JA included. Seriously sorry for the length, but *I* thought it was really worth the read.
-------------------------------------

Brad-Sagittarius & Angelina-Gemini

Those governed by Sagittarius are attractive and lovable souls, being full of fun and life with a genuine affection for their fellow creatures. However, the Gemini/Sagittarius pairing is not necessarily an easy one to maintain. Still, the need of Gemini individuals to talk, learn and observe could be a strong attraction for Sagittarius natives, who share these same traits. Nonetheless, Gemini possesses a well-hidden stubborn streak that could give the Sagittarius partner cause for reflection when he or she does not always comply with ideas and plans...to Sagittarius, material things are not a consideration.

In addition, both these Signs have magnetic personalities which means, this couple will likely have very little time alone. Both individuals here require much personal freedom, but in different ways. Sagittarius subjects must always feel as though they are at liberty to do anything they choose, whereas Gemini usually only wants to experience the forbidden or restricted. Although possessing something of a nagging trait, Sagittarius cannot abide being nagged...it produces a feeling of personal restriction which will eventually result in separation. Another hurdle will be jealousy on the part of the Gemini native since Sagittarius is notorious for rarely being true to one person. Still, the physical aspect of this relationship will be rewarding...and assuming it is not the sole area where this pairing can find compatibility, the relationship stands a fair chance at longevity.

Gemini will be able to provide the pioneering and adventurous Sagittarius partner with the independence he or she requires in a close relationship...due largely to the fact that Gemini shares that same need. But where Sagittarius desires physical independence, Gemini yearns for mental freedom. Still, the need is the same at its base. Both individuals here love new experiences, people and sensations. Thus, this couple is sure to have marvellous adventures together and each has an attention span that enjoys moving quickly from one thing to the next in order to absorb as much experience as possible.

Perhaps the best quality of a Gemini/Sagittarius affair is that these two will also be great friends. They share a deep understanding and a very similar view of life...one that is based upon a refreshing optimism and enthusiasm. Sagittarius is inclined to be somewhat blunt on occasion, saying things without thinking ahead about whether or not the words will be hurtful. Still, Gemini is a hardy Sign and, much like Sagittarius, can forgive and forget quickly. In short, neither Gemini nor Sagittarius have the time or the interest required to hold a grudge.

Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury and Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Mercury provides Gemini with a chatty and intellectual demeanor. Concerned with both luck and philosophy, Jupiter lends Sagittarius the constant questing for truth and knowledge. Basically, this is a marvellous blend. Gemini can come up with a new idea and Sagittarius can jump right on, ready to explore the notion to its limits. Gemini is governed by the element of Air while Sagittarius is governed by the element of Fire. The result is an active relationship. Air spreads Fire far and wide, helping it increase in power.

Together, Gemini and Sagittarius have exactly this effect on one another. It is a fiery and passionate connection where there is always something going on and every now and again, what is going in escalates into an argument where feelings become hurt.

These two Signs are opposite one another in the Zodiac Wheel, which means they have quite a deep and complex connection. In short, when it is good, it is excellent...but when it is bad, it can be terrible. This couple may well fight most about who is in charge since both will possess competitive streaks that can flare up at inopportune moments. On the bright side, although they may often disagree, any difference of opinion is likely to be short lived...Gemini will be too busy moving onto the next challenge to bear a grudge and Sagittarius can forgive a partner anything but lack of respect.

Both Gemini and Sagittarius are Mutable in quality. Thus, both individuals will be flexible to the extreme...willing and able to adapt to change. This is just as well since Gemini natives tend to change their minds in mid-thought. Still, Sagittarius has no problem in keeping pace and taking a 180-degree turn. In addition, when Sagittarius gets hit by wanderlust, Gemini will be very amiable about coming along for the ride.

There is a mutual interest in this coupling for the cultivation of knowledge, utilization of intellect and then the employment of action. Enthusiasm, energy and drive is well-matched between these two, together with a sharing of common interests and similar personalities.

In essence, this combination could well be a compatible one. Both Signs are inclined to be frank and outspoken, as well as cherishing a certain amount of personal freedom. This couple usually meet on a common ground and can plan their lives with equanimity. On occasion, the relationship may become somewhat ruffled, but fights between these two are often for the sake of diversion as much as anything else.

I did not blame Jen for that story.
My point is that these types of rumors are floated about alot of stars but this one is being used about Brad because of some peoples preception of why Brad got divorce. If someday C Farrell gets on the bad end of some haters they could use the same trash on him. Basically what I am saying is this should be disreagarded by clear thinking people.

The "bad hygiene" nonsense started in COSMO magazine back in the early 90's when Brad was dating Juliette Lewis. The lived a very bohemian/hippie lifestyle, and he probably didn't have "good hygiene" at the time.

But no one ever said he had "bad hygiene" during the pre-Juliette era or the Gwenyth/Jennifer era's. It's just a phase he went through with Juliette, he smells fine these days & has for the past decade.

# 454 | alero
I'm sure Angie would not put up with "SAS" (stinkin as syndrome)

# 230 | COLD HARD MATH

i like him in that movie with tom, the weirdo alien and kiki dunst..."INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE"...he looks delicious in that movie and he's good against tom, the weirdo alien....

# 456 | rudedog
dang rude you got exited..should be stinkin ass syndrome...

# 428 | eh - oh my bad. troll, imp, whatever.

since I don't practically live in cyberspace so I'm just not hip in that particular way. I'll try to feel bad about that if you insist, but it's just coming to me yet.

I'm just pretty sure that encouraging people to vote more than once in a celeb poll is not so very cool. And you guys probably beat Tom Cruise's peeps up for that didn't you.

# 459 | to eh
nah..we don't give a rat's ass about Elmer Fud Cruise

original jpf...
sounds good...
and by what he have heard true. my mum is a sagittarius and my sister is gemini they can have an amazing arguement and they both come out saying wow, that was good! they thrive on it. because they are very passionate.
my sister has deffinatly got to sides too her, and i think angie has too. this zodiac stuff is really amazingly spot on!
good post

Don't know if you guys posted the article here yet, but I read that a paprazzi guy was paid $700,000 for some pics he took of B&A. I think these are new pics. Oh and PEOPLE mag paid 3.5 million for the first baby pics. Not sure if any of it is true.

TO # 455 | PEEP THIS

Maybe it does go back to his days with Juliette. I've certainly heard about it for that long but it really reached a even higher pitch lately based on how he looks and who he's with. Maybe American's are too quick to judge in that particular way but sorry to tell you, that's Brad's reputation here among many of the people I know.

# 455 naw, he's a stinky dog

yawn....must sleep now. busy day.

where you from if your going to bed now?
or were you referring to the stinky dog bit?

no, I disregarded the Jen bit. I am a fan of Gwynn's but not a fan of B/A....or for that matter B.O.

I was going to post the whole article here but I think it's too long. here's the link, Stef.

http://www.sundaytimes.co.za/articles/article.aspx?ID=ST6A179599

now we've got people on here quoting horoscopes and reading the signs. is if harlequinn romance isn't bad enough.

to eh
well as the story goes with tom cruise...not sure if people were beating him up for whatever poll because someone said to vote incessantly. but the only poll i've heard was that one in that parade magazine in which people are now saying that the scientologist people rigged it themselves. one computer over 8000 votes...now that is fishy!

# 265 | apple

may i ask...where's miss jen movie...i went to the threater in my small neighborhood yesterday to see if her movie is showing...but didn't see it...

oh geez
oh you should stick around, it gets better. we are going to combine harlequin romance with the excitment of a little action and sci-fi to get the juices flowing. next, i'm thinking politics--love in the oval office. but clinton already went there lol.

Be Sane, Jjoy, Alexenderina...how are ya doing? Having fun?

Yesterday, I responded to Jess, something I immediately regretted, given that I consider all of her posts a joke. Anyway, I go there a few minutes ago and I see a post addressed to me that states "the sign of maturity is not having unneccesary arguements with children" or something to that effect. My first thought was....actually I had no first thought (lol). I am sitting there thinking "the sign of maturity?" Then it hit me, I am supposed to be the matured one....Wow! Me? I have been called a lot of things on this blog but never mature. So what do you guys think, should I wear the maturity armour (keep in mind there is no fun in that or....what?

Yawn....Honey I thought you only came out at night? Ah, no matter, I guess anytime is a good time to flex your "intellectual Prowess". So what do you have for us today? This time don't leave abruptly when things don't go your way, okay.

stef
doesn't harrison ford have his own mini country somewhere? i know some celebs do, if you call big plot of little land a country.

pissing off paps is a top 10 recommended activity by the stars only topped by buying manolo blaniks and insanely expensive handbags, so i've heard. ;p

rudedog
cigs are banned in bars, restaurants and clubs in toronto and starting june the same all over ontario. the only place where it might be allowed is possibly a "social club."

to:african girl i was looking for some news and pics and i found some of them and so i decided to post them here:)

but i forgot to answer the question...yes i've been to toronto many times.

****KFC?*****************
Good afternoon all.
# 388 | jjoy
I'm with you. I live in NYC and it's Popeye's all the way here. Practically all the KFC shops have closed but new Popeyes keep opening up. Eating there is another way to support a New Orleans company. I'm very against going to a foreign country and looking for something "American" to eat. Not my style. Do as the natives do, is my motto. But I guess the Jolie-Pitt crew are playing it safe so as to not get sick.

Lot's of posts are potpurri I've noticed so here's mine. Off Topic- Leo DiCaprio had slight injuries while filming "THE BLOOD DIAMOND" in the former Portuguese colony, Mozambique and in South Africa. Turns out he's gonna be fine. It's a closed set and they are filming in some very dangerous areas in SA.

I hope filmaking picks up in South Africa. There are so many talented and capable people who can give life to this industry in that country. I saw Tsotsi and predicted that it would win Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards. So much talent in South Africa.

eh...
rofl... very good!

# 498 | eh
have you ever been to Arizonas over by the airport?

Frenchy

i'll try anything at least once, with the exception of bugs, rats, and monkey brain. so when i'm in a foreign country i like to eat their food, but what i also do, is try a macdonalds. it's great. they're all a little different.

to:frenchy wow cool u live in nyc its a very very nice place i always wanted to live in nyc u are a lucky person lol

rudedog

no i've never been to Arizonas over by the airport, but this sounds suspiciously like i'm been lead somewhere i'm not sure i want to go. lol. [looks around for hidden danger.]

frenchy...
you would pee your pants if you saw an african soap! they could be good if there was money, but as we know the money goes to other areas. but i do agree there is so much talent! my family are upooting and moving to south africa, acting is my field and what i am studing, i cant move with them because the work is not what is needed so im having to stay here, and travel around to start out.

# 505 | eh
no not at all...I just fell hard for a girl that worked there is all..well actually not too hard it lasted a week before I can back to the states...lol

eh...
i too have to have a macdonalds in every country, i dont know why, as i dont eat them often at home. i thought i was the only one! hey good to know im not!

rudedog
ahhhh a girl thing. i got it. me and boys we don't get a long at the moment, they seem to have a problem with me dating two people at once for some reason! ;p

stef
so far i like the filet-o-fish (which is my favorite thing to eat there) in england. although it has been a while.

oh yeah, the mc chicken sandwich is good, but after a night of drinking the best resolve is a big mac! yum!

stef
there is nothing like chinese food after a night out at about 3am in the morning. cold leftover lobster is good too!

i heard that angies fav fast food is mcdonalds but i dont know what kinde of sandwich does she eat there does any 1 know>>??

eh...
where i live in england we have the best seafront, with award winning seafood, oh nothing live crab sticks and cockles on a sunday morning! chinese is good, i dont suppose you have tried a donna kebab? oh its the very british 3am food, its foul, yet it always tastes so good, i could never eat it sober! eerr!

# 509 | eh
hey as long as it goes both ways I can dig it..

no dont know sorry, i bet its the quater pounder with cheese! yum

stef
i've never been to donna kebab...this is a chinese place? it's been a very long time since i've been to england, although i might be going there this summer, so if it's in london, i'll be sure to check it out. personally, i think people should cook with lard. it makes the food taste better! ;p

i heard that angies fav fast food is mcdonalds but i dont know what kinde of sandwich does she eat there does any 1 know>>??

rudedog
very open minded of you, but i must say that it can ruin a good friendship....sigh...such complications this thing called relationships. my advice, if you think it might go somewhere, never do it (date two people at once). not a good idea.

donna kebab...nevermind..british food. food improved since i last went i wonder? lol. love the fish and chips though. nothing like it.

# 519 | eh
that's just it..I don't want it to go anywhere...it gets too complicated..I look at it like buying a car eventually the newness wears off and you are ready to trade..I just don't wait until the newness wears off before I trade...

eh...
rofl...
sorry i gotta laugh, a donna kebab is turkish food. its really dodgy, only eat it when tanked up! but it is what we brits do on a sat night at 3 am stand outside the kabab shop after shouting to make sure they cover it with burger sauce! what it is: its a pita bread with the mankiest lamb on a huge spit it is cooked then carved off and put in your pita with salad and the sauce is the secret! it is the perfect end to a very pissed night! lol
f you do fancy one and your out ask the barman which is the best.
if you like to try different things go for it, it tastes like minted lamb, well thats what i say when hammered!
oh there will be many kabab takeaways im sure your see them, there is about a million in london! sad thats what our culture is!lol
sorry if i confused you. ididnt mean to laugh.
