I KNEW IT!!!! IUC Exclusive: Brad PREGNANT!
I keed, I keed, but I knew that mother fucker got fuckin’ fat! Angie sucked the hotness out of this man somethin’ FIERCE!
This is an old picture, on FF form the other day they posted one from last week and he’s actually on the skinny side. So cold showers, huh? I wonder who this new bunny is.
Does it mean something that Miss. Ninecent used an older picture of Brad? I wonder if the shower is an actual shower, or if it is a metaphore for some other action?
He looks pretty thin to me and his hair looks thick , needs a haircut IMO and a few highlights. I took this to mean his image and him are being cleaned up for his new lady love. Dunno that may be wrong.
@Z:
Don’t know,but hey maybe this cold stimulating shower will get rid of the fugly hats, the baggy ass old man pants and he will start looking clean again like he did when he was with Jen.
It was explained later by her that she was just doodling on his back when they were in Darvos, it was a romantic gesture and then they called in someone to make it permanent. They are not associated with New Orleans, but with her, as is her birthday across his lower abdomen.
@Kate:
As Ms. 9 Cents only has 9 words, I agreed whole-heartedly with you on this one, Kate! Sooooo … I followed justhelping’s link. Thanks, by the way, JH! Funny thing about those pictures were they were taken just about this time last year – May 18, 2008. Brad was with the boys, AJ was with the girls … and “heavily pregnant.” The tattoos were guessed to represent the NO levees which broke during Hurricane Katrina. Sooooo … this brought to mind a couple of different things. Pregnancy, the family separated, and levees breaking. Now for the words.
Nice cold bracing shower freshens Brad for new Bunny.
Nice … is it nice or Nice, France?
Cold shower by itself would be putting a chill on a desire, IMO. But a cold BRACING shower would indicate to me that something gone cold was actually supporting or strengthening a desire.
Freshens Brad … well, after all we’ve read — the poopie hand, the diaper sex, peeing in bed, etc., etc., — it certainly makes sense to mention that he NEEDS to be freshened. There has been a lot of poo flying around.
For now Bunny …pretty self-explanatory.
JMO
@Z:
Hey … someone else’s on, I see. Figures it would be YOU, Z! LOL! Not to many others come on at this time! Sooo, it’s been a rather slow day, aye?
So what do you think about a cold shower in Nice, France, supporting BP’s venture in a new relash with a NEW bunny???? The rumors on this guy are KILLING ME! He couldn’t possibly be as whacked as all this is making him out to be, could he?
@Z:
Good guesses … ya think? WHOO HOOOOOO! By the way … there’s no way BP’s shirt just so happened to be blown up by the wind, as was claimed in the story that went along with the photo! And his tattoos are just a bunch of dumb lines. How lame.
@Togi:
LOL! It does figure!! I just got on later tonight…couldn’t during the day…so it was slow tonight…but it is late…lol….or not, depending on your time zone.
I think Nice is a great guess! And the freshening…lol….hmmm, I wonder if he’s bringing a new bunny to Cannes. It would be shocking, considering they ares till pretending to be together….jmo, of, course.
@Z:
Ya know … I HEAR YOU on that one! I don’t get it. I don’t care if he’s aged or his hair is thinning or whatever. Life happens and we all age so what the heck! But he is still a really good looking man — MAN being the operative word. He’s not some young DUDE who needs to show his funk.
@Togi:
Right on! We all get old. The hats gotta go! It must be aging hair and he’s embarrassed…but he isn’t going to have the sex symbol image forever (esp. if people buy the lack of toilet paper story). lol.
@Kate:
Well … speaking as someone who actually has and LIKES tattoos (nice ones, anyway), those are some pretty dumb ones for an man his age! Good grief. If they are, as AJ said, just doodles, what the heck! You don’t just doodle and have it made into a tattoo. D-U-M-B! And it looks dumb, too. Duh
@Z:
real drawing…not read drawing. sigh. I suppose I should turn in…..lol. But isn’t the wonderful, multi-talented AJ also an incredible artist! I am being so sarcastic.
Well, there is a good general rule of thumb to follow for getting a tattoo. Don’t put something on your body that you’re going to regret! LOL. Nice general rule, but not generally followed! Ha! I think BP was so mesmerized by AJ that he was trying to be just like her and impress her and all that. He obviously didn’t put any thought into his tats. And they look like junk. He has another one on his arm which, I think, is the Ice Man or something like that. It is a HORRIBLE picture. If the art was nice, at least he’d be walking around with a nice piece of art. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such rubbish. I know guys in prison (not personally, mind you, but through ministries) with much more meaningful tatts. They may be harsh and angry tatts, but they are VERY meaningful to the guys. It appears to me, at least, that Brad just threw a bunch of crap on himself to impress AJ. Ugh. So NOT the reason to get a tatt!
@Togi:
I agree….and he probably was not considering that they would split and he would not want those on his bod anymore. I know the other one, too…also not a nice tattoo. I agree…good tatts are art. His kinda look like prison tatts….and not good ones, at that. But, the plain lines…that type of thing.
@Z:
And yes, there are beautiful pieces of art out there. I have a beautiful hand-drawn peacock with my daughter’s name hidden in the feathers on one shoulder, a hibiscus and filigree and lily arm band on the other arm with the words A hui hoa aku apo a leva Makua Kani (which is Hawaiian for until we meet again in Heaven, Daddy), a wooden cross with a purple cloth on it with the sign King of the Jews above it and Scripture Isaiah 43:1 … “Thus,” said the Lord, “Do not fear for I have redeemed you and called you by name. You are mine.”) and a red rose on my lower back, and a just for fun ankle band. No doubt I will get another one or two before I die … as important things happen to me.
@Togi:
Whoa! That sounds so gorgeous. I absolutely love peacocks….the colors are stunning. They all sound beautiful! I like the Hawaiian saying. My dad died a few years ago and I feel the same way. We’ll see each other again. Do you have pictures of them?
Does anyone remember when this picture was taken? I wonder where he was heading in the helicopter and if he was alone or traveling with the family? If it was taken around the summer of 2007, isn’t that when stuff began to crash and burn in the relationship? Maybe he is acting out past behaviors? JMO! Or I could be talking out my ass and grasping at imaginary straws. I just think there is a reason this picture is up there. I don’t know if that even made sense.
@Canuck:
Hmmmmmm. Let me think about that for a sec. And by the way … before I looked closer at that posted pic of BP I thought his tatts were scratch marks!!!! After taking a closer look … he would have been better off if they HAD been! LOL
@Togi:
Maybe that’s his way of wearing his “mistress Angie’s” marks? Immortalizing whip marks on his skin via tattoos? No wonder he was embarrassed and called them “personal” on Oprah, if that is the case. lol
@Canuck:
I like “fortitude.” That’s right along the “bracing” / “strengthening” line and more of what I was trying to verbalize. Thanks. And I’m thinking that “Nice” is France, not “kind.” LOL. Bunny is something Ian/Sugar/Ms. 9 Cents use to refer to AJ and her girls … right? So maybe it’s something like this: Brad’s trip to France gave him a shower of cold reality, which woke him up to the fact that he needed more courage and fortitude to continue on. He found that, he was “refreshed”, and is now ready for more CRAP with AJ and the bunnies! JMO
@Canuck:
How freaking EMBARRASSING! At least AJ has some quality tattoos. They’re not beautiful or attractive, but they are extremely well done and have a lot of meaning to them … AND artistically speaking, they flow on her body. But his are just dumb, dumb, dumb! Like a kid took a marker and marked up his body. What a dork. I’d be embarrassed, too. Actually, I’d just go to a GOOD artist and have them do something decent with them! Since he obviously doesn’t have any sense when it comes to body art, I think he’d better leave it up to the artist’s discretion!
I don’t know if you know this guy I am talking about he is an American and he is out here in Australia for our television awards.
His name is Cardon Kressly and he gave an interview on Australian television this morning that Brad and Angie have officially split. And whats more he has a good chance of getting custody of the 3 children that are his (or supposed to be) Also there is a good chance he will go back to Jennifer Anistan he has been chatting to her a fair bit, and gave her advice on adopting an american baby boy. He is said to have told her that she would make a great Mom. She is never going to find anyone who can fill Brads shoes, and has always taken his advice. I hope things work out for them they do make a great couple some people might argue over that. I think that they would make a better go of it now.
@Togi:
Like I said, his might have a meaning too, but in a different way. They aren’t pretty, they don’t look artistic, but they do look like the sort of marks one might get from being caned or whipped.
@Canuck:
Actually, justhelping posted this link above, which shows his tatts up close. Sorry, I just copied and pasted so it won’t take you right to the page … but justhelping has the actual link posted above.
@benjaminbutton14: . Sounds like he reads a combo of tabloids and this board. What is he saying that’s new. Officially means an announcement at least to me. Otherwise lots of people have said they’re not together… Brad walked out ect… If they don’t announce it OFFICIALLY, we can assume the guy’s just blabbing based on other stories. Sheeesh, Jen has said she wanted kids w/o Brad encouraging her, bloid-bs story.
Nice: The South of France location; Pleasant
Cold Bracing shower: A wake=up call, a return to reality, a way a man gets rid of his sexual arousal – could be that he woke up to the reality of who Jolie really is and has broken free from her sexual hold on him. Cold bracing shower cold also be rehab. There are rehabs in Europe that are very intense and quick. They involve physical cures as opposed to long therapy sesssions. Maybe he had something of that nature.
Freshens Brad: He no longer is in the stale relationship he had with Jolie
For new bunny: New woman.
I think this whole post indicates that he has broken free from the emotional hold Jolie had on him.
@Jinxy:Jinxy, the split is well known in the ‘industry’ and has been for a few months so for Carson Kressley to know is not much of a big deal. I have to say, as someone who worked in the industry, this has been handled extremely well…all things considered. Except for the dirt AJ is slinging around about Brad…and that’s going to come up and bite her in the ass.
We just seen Brad and Angelina together within the last week so you people are delusional and very sick. His body is now Angelinas and it appears as if she loves everything about him, quit worrying about Brad you’ll never have him.
Wow: If you are so sure about your idols’ eternal love for each other, you shouldn’t be worrying about what people write here. Just be warm, cuddly and secure in the knowledge that your Beloved Brangelina will spend all eternity worshipping each other and madly in love. They will probably also pop out a dozen or so more children as a physical manifestation of their heavenly-blessed union. Happy now?
Just read in the NY Post that Andrew Morton is writing his next book on Jolie. Is this her way to control what is out there about her? I can’t imagine that there hasn’t been one already. I think this is the beginning of a lot of books being written about her and Pitt. There is just too much interest not to.
@Mama San:
Can’t open that link (i can’t open any of the eonline links, i believe it’s cos there is a localized one for my country), could you tell what is written in it?
@tyin:
Go to your local version of eonline, at the top there is a button for choosing the country. Choose USA, go to News tab and find Marc Malkin. That country redirect they have going is a pain the butt.
@well:
I’m Australian too, I have no idea why we keep inviting Carson to come and be a guest at our AMAZING AWESOME HIGH QUALITY TV AWARDS (that people only watch so they can hang shit on it the following day), but do you know if he’s good friends with Ted C? If I were Carson I’d be totally embarrassed to be seen at these awards, but I guess you gotta pay the bills.
I’m not drawing that conclusion because they are both gossipy gay men, but because I recall when Queer Eye was still airing Ted used to publish items about the fab five all the time, which led me to assume they were at least acquainted. I wonder if Carson is getting his info from the same places as Ted C?
Now, on a tangent, I wish Queer Eye was still on. I miss dying every week over Kyan’s unattainable hotness.
@Canuck:
Tnx a lot!
Obviusly my country page has not that button, but in some way i have been able to get the UK page (yes, i can open UK pages, not US ones from here, really strange) and from there the US one
@Sheriffe:I’m not Australian, BenjaminButton is. But yes I do know they are acquainted they were chatting at the GLAAD media awards a couple of years ago. There is alot of crossover in the industry and you often meet your peers, and people with so much in common – gossipy, gay chatterboxes cross paths frequently. I actually like Carson Kressley, I think he’s done the most and has the most going for him out of the Queer Eye cast.
People in the industry know when a break up is coming because they understand the PR machine. Watching this break up has been like watching someone unpeel an artichoke. Kudos to their PR te
@tyin: I’ll try to find another link for ya, or just go to http://www.eonline.com.
The gist of the article is that {AJ} is up for a MTV movie award for “Wanted”, the scene that is up for nomination is the curved bullet scene from the movie , not exactly Oscar worthy.
@tyin:
Here I copied it for ya.
No doubt, MTV will do anything to get Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to its upcoming Movie Awards.
“We’re sure Brangelina will receive many nominations (remember, this past year included Jolie in Wanted, Changeling and Kung Fu Panda, along with Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading), but for now we know of at least one so far for Ms. Jolie.
My peeps at MTV tell me that this year’s 18th annual awards, which will be handed out on May 31 and telecast live from L.A.’s Gibson Amphitheatre, will include a new category: Best WTF Moment.
Nominees include:
Angelina Jolie: Wanted, Curved Bullet Kill
Amy Poehler: Baby Mama, Peeing in the Sink
Ayush Mahesh Khedekar: Slumdog Millionaire, Jumping in the Poop Shed
Ben Stiller: Tropic Thunder, Tasting the Decapitated Head
Jason Segel and Kristen Bell: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Naked Breakup
We say Ayush from Slumdog should take home the Golden Popcorn. Do you agree? Let us know what you think”

I think it hilarious. I didn’t see it either , have no plans to, saw the ad for the movie, I know what scene it is, pretty lame, the graphic books that the movie is based on, now that I’ll look into.
I think it’s in the same vein as “Sin City”, I heard the rumor that she was looking into “Sin City” 2, I hope not, that was a great movie, and she would ruin it. To be fair , I did see the “Good Shepard”, I like Matt Damon, she did a decent job in the movie, and I was surprised, a very understated role for her, supporting actress in this movie and she did it welI, I am ever an A-list movie star . She is too dramatic, when I saw the ad for “Changeling” with her patented shreeching ,for the line “I want MY son, back”, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stomach almost 2 hours of that., that’s apity for me, because I like John Malcovich, and I thought he was too good to be in this flick with her, Niaomi Watts, would have done a better job at this role.
@justhelping:
It’s pretty bad this time around , go to Pop Sugar and Perez Hilton , both are reporting, and once again his daughter found him in this state. I thought the same thing, I posted the links on the DH post , earlier.
I truly believe she’s not a good actress. Just she found the way to be on a-list… And she’s getting works more cos she’s famous as “saint” than for how good she can be playing a character.
BP is for sure a better actor, and i think he did a big mistake in his life joining her. I suppose he wasn’t really aware of what he was doing splitting from Jen… For sure i believe if he could have seen the future he would have acted in another way. My opinion obviusly
I believe the tattoos on his back are there to cover up a night of cutting. Angelina cut him during sex one night and he got those weird tatts to try and cover up the scars. jmo
@tyin:
I just realized that JM was also in “Burn After Reading” with BP &GC, great movie, FD, is good too, love her in “Fargo”. I really like JM’s actings skills, and I thought BP held his own in the film,the scene with BP&JM in the car talking about the disc, is hilarious. . IMO , AJ could learn a few acting skills from JM. Not to get too far off topic, one of the best films I have seen with JM, and I recommend is “The Talented Mr. Ripley”, classic JM.
Good morning Mama San. Hope you are feeling better. We missed you.
Well I found another article about how the town of Correns, where Miravel is, put out silly fake stories to the paps. Maybe like the stories about BP now?
@justhelping:
Hey sweetie, yes I am and thank you, wow to say the least with the news in the entertainment world past couple of days.
I missed you all too, my hubby thought it was so funny that I was grounded from bloggin’ til I got better. He tormented me mercilessly, and has no shame. I say, if he’s not careful, I’ll put starch in his undies.
Funny. My husband has to do all the laundry and cooking (can’t stand or walk well) It is funny how he gets grouchy like I used to. You know the “I have to go to work all day and come home and cook.” Thing is, most men are not as thorough as women. Anyway, glad you’re back. What do you make of this mess? @Mama San:
@BigApplette: @justhelping:
Sounds like you got a keeper, bless his heart and yours love.
On this, I’m going to go with BigAppelette on it, read her post, what do you think? I think it’s a gg.
I’m still reeling from the ‘diaper&baby sex” post. Sheesh , don’t even get me started on what I think on that, I hit a nerve, with my post. The psychological applications and train of thinking that comes with the alleged implications in the menatl health world, I could go on for hours, to what I think. I still stand by MO, and that is that I think AJ is amoral, and she was made , not born this way.
@BigApplette: I saw that this morning too! Wow, can’t wait to read it.
THAT Andrew Morton, the British biographer of Princess Di, Monica Lewinsky and Tom Cruise, has picked his next target — Angelina Jolie. The book will be published by St. Martin’s Press next winter . . .
Daryl strikes again. Jolie has a imaginary friend and she talks to him everynight for 2 hours. I can’t copy it over here on my iPod but it us worth the read. LA Examiner
I generally find babies of all nationalities and colors to be total cutie pies, but for some reason when I look at the Jolie-Pitt twins they look like wax figures to me…I can’t figure out why (caveat: I haven’t seen the $14mm pics or the ones in W since I thought that was disgusting to pimp out their kids that way). I thought that before I found this site so even though I knew they were phonies I didn’t know to what degree! JMO, though.
@ Mama San – The Telegraph is a UK broadsheet and fairly credible yes. Our other broadsheets are The Independent, The Guardian and The Times. The Times is a Rupert Murdoch paper though (as are The Sun, The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express – the latter two are the two most hateful, scare-mongering, prejudiced, inflammatory publications in the UK) and thought by most intelligent/educated people to be a rag. Well left-wing/liberal people for sure. Its not at all immune to the seductive powers of celebrity and recently had a glowing, kiss-ass interview with and tribute to the modern day saint Angelina Jolie. Enough said about them. The Telegraph is not so bad though and The Guardian (liberal, lefty) and The Independent (tries to be what it says on the tin) are fine, although they’ve become more tabloidised in recent years to compete with the popularity of gossip mags and so on. There are far fewer celeb stories in them but I doubt they’re completely immune to the planted PR fake. Anyway, there’s my quick rundown of Brit newspapers for ya!
@ well – I agree with the PR stories, they seem to be hurriedly being put out to pave the way for the eventual split announcement and to get the public used to the idea. I think there will be quite a few more “trouble in paradise” stories over the next year so that people are slowly eased into it as it were! BTW, what area of “the industry”(!) do you work in? Do you mind saying?
@Keane:
I get the feeling this is going to be long over before the year is out. Feels like something has changed and they have both said ” screw it” and are moving toward just like Madonna did.
@ Kate – yeah I would be amazed if they could keep the charade up for that long, its a long old time to fake it for considering there have been so many suspcions about the state of their relationship already. I also think there is far too much bad blood between them (far more than Madge and Guy) for them to be able to put on a united front for the cameras. Plus Madge and Guy never really did the “we’re so loved up” PDA thing, he was very blokey with her in public. Brangelina would not only have to appear that they were still together but that they were still the biggest lurve story of all time, which is how they have sold themselves. I think that’s why it looks so much more obvious with them. If they’d shown off about their relationship a bit less in the earlier stages then they might have been slightly more convincing when they were faking it at the end. But then of course that would have defeated the object of them being together i.e. being the most famous, beautiful, totally amazing and bestest couple of all time in eternity! Lol. JMO! Ha ha ha!
The Mirror and Express are not Rupert Mudoch owned. The Express is owned by Richard Desmond (along with OK, The Daily Star and Star magazine). The Mirror is owned by Trinity Mirror. I think you must of mixed up the Daily Mirror and The Daily Mail. I like The Daily Mirror It’s left wing but lowbrow just like me ;~).
I think Ian must have really spoiled us in the middle of April with all the new stories coming quite quickly. I’m getting withdrawal symptons at the moment. I NEED MORE GOSSIP!
Dear Ted:
This one’s not about Twilight, so who knows if you can spare the space. What is it with Brad Pitt doing Japanese commercials? Does he need the money? Is he trying to out earn Angie? Is it greed?
—Patricia
Dear Money Matters:
Brad’s done tons of Japanese commercials—he’s a desired dude over there! And don’t think for a second he doesn’t love the break from his bossy-ass partner (though I hear he misses her in bed, what a 13-year-old he still is!).
@moo:
Amen! I’d like to hear more about the Jen article he started. As far as BP & AJ, just get it over with, we split it’s amlicable, will always remain close the the kids, blah, blah, blah. Same story different HW couple. I’d like to see BP get the 3 bio’s & she can keep her adopted kids. She’s made a commnet or 2 they she feels more for them etc… Note sure of the exact quote but something to that affect. Oh & didn’t she call Shiloh a blob or somenthing?
There goes TED again with one of his snitty littel comments towards IAN, that is desgined to say he does not believe what his reports are. Now I ask, this man who is sleeping with hookers, impregnating other women, getting the hell beat out of him by Jolie, having to track her with a PI, possily madly in love with Sudu, or on fire for the motorcycle chick, really wants to sleep with this batshit crazy woman again-
Someone save the children please,if Brad will not do it. I am starting to agree, who makes these things up and gets away with it. The guy is steadfast he saw the proposal now granted Jolie may be leaking the dirt on Pitt, and this is not something she probably cares anyone knows but damn damn damn do not give her anymore kids-PLEASE!
From Daryl-
Okay, part of me doubts the stories coming from Brangelina’s bodyguard. However, a story that Angelina Jolie has an imaginary friend named Lefsetz who gives her advice on acting, sex, mothering and grocery shopping is just way too out there to be made up. Yes, readers, you are not dreaming. According to a book proposal, Angelina has nightly meetings with her imaginary friend Lefsetz in the bathroom before going to sleep. Brad Pitt is perfectly fine with this.
Angelina reportedly met Lefsetz when she was a younger child and didn’t feel she was getting enough attention from her parents. At first, Lefsetz was a dog, then turned into a cat, then into an elephant, then an alien, and now is a full-blooded imaginary human. Lefsetz has comforted Angelina Jolie not only during her divorce, but her parents’ divorce as well. Lefsetz was there to comfort Angelina during her corrupt adoption from Cambodia that ruined the lives of thouswands of orphans in that country forever thanks to Angelina’s baby buying skills.
The proposal says that Lefsetz is actually a healthy addition to Angelina’s mental health, which has never been normal. “Angelina goes from periods of extreme happiness to extreme sadness in a matter of seconds,” the proposal reads. It also notes that two years ago, Angelina would not leave her bedroom for two days because she thought Lefsetz had left her.
Reading this proposal actually makes me feel sorry for the sometimes good actress, sometimes homewrecker, and serial baby snatcher. Angelina Jolie might have taken her mental illness to successful extremes, but it might leave her very disturbed in the end. Even if we are not religious, we should all pray for Angelina’s mental health and pray even harder that the information in this proposal really isn’t true.
@Keane:
I agree, do you suppose IAN followed Brad to LA lol and has a hot story for us. ha ha. There is not way they can keep this underwraps , it is too out there. Still not one denial, and Cannes is upon is where they will make their a their grand entrance to make the statement. such utter bullshit. Hope IAN can drop a bomb on them before they can do that.
Angelina Jolie has an imaginary firend named Lefsetz, claims former bodyguard.

But if Brad’s interested in all these other chicks and uber-hot for at least one — presumably one of the pregnant ones, why would he need a PI to follow her around, or care that AJ has her own extra-curriculars? And Ted has always thought it was AJ that had the upper hand as far as who was more infatuated with who, in that relationship. So that’s not new on his part, he’s never wavered on the point.
@ moo – sorry yes you’re right, I’m both tired and pukey today, my brain is not in order at all. That’s why Brange get a lot of support in The Mail methinks because OK depend on them for stories. I like The Mirror also, its left-wing and has gossip, which is all I think you really need in a newspaper! The Star I don’t really consider a newspaper these days, I’m not sure if it ever really was. It seems to be made up entirely of Chanelle from BB with her baps out and then some made-up shit cadged from the internet. Its like The Daily Sport for people with a slightly less dirty mind. Who buys that crap?!
@ Togi – Re: your “tatts” – can you get any more hysterical?! What are we going to hear next, you spent three years in Tibet learning to be a Buddhist monk and have recently completed a diploma in freediving???? What else do you have up your sleeve?!
P.S. I am not really a fan of “tatts” but yours sound highly artistic!x
@ml:
I disagree as I have seen many beautiful “tattoos.” Not all are beautiful, of course. Many are angry and are meant to outwardly display such a sentiment. Similarly, many are beautiful, which are meant to outwardly display that sentiment as well. Body art is, as many things, beauty (or not) in the eye of the beholder. JMO, of course!
@Keane:
Agree with you on the Star just tits, BB girls and asylum seeker scare stories. I watched a documentry on C5 where someone claimed (probably someone from the Star) that AJ being pregnant with Shiloh was leaked by AJ to the Star (it was a documentry about the JA and BP breakup forgotten it’s name).
@Keane:
Oh yeah sorry to hear you’re sick – on a Bank Holiday too, what rotten luck, hope you get better before the next SRRC post – I rely on you and Kate to make it understandable xx
@ladybert62:
I just had to google it and yes you are right it’s because the Banks are closed for the day. I had never really thought about it until you asked why they were called that!
@Keane:I’ve worked in various facets of the industry, from creative direction to PR. Did a small amount of acting too, but mostly small stuff. One of my best friends was a successful publicist, it’s amazing how much of a machine it really is…and what’s more amazing is how we (meaning the public) digest every single piece of media and accept it to be the truth. The media owns us and they own the ‘brands’, and a good publicist could mean the difference between making and breaking an artists’ career.
I think the break up will happen sooner rather than later, depending on what they’re both contractually bound to with their upcoming projects. There is a good chance that BP and AJ may NEED to attend Cannes together, if you know what i mean…
Just some one with a blog who posted a baby picture of himself and joked about a Brad Pitt-type baby next to him in the hosptial in Massachusetts. Other than that I don’t know.
@Gitano:
I went back & re-googled found the sully’s travel or whatever it was. Now I know why it was connected to BP’s name but that’s bullshit & slightly deceiving. Spank me, should have looked better/harder/smarter.
@Jinxy:
benjaminbutton14. this Cardon Kressly has often been out here and has made statements on other stars and they have been true so I can only guess he knows what he is talking about or not.
Does anybody in your part of the world know what he does?????
@ moo – yeah I’ve had it all week which is why my mind hasn’t been too focused on Ian’s posts, I’ll blame it on Angelina playing with her voodoo dolls I reckon, nothing at all to do with my non-existent immune system! And yeah its a bit of a bugger it being the bank holiday and all but when you work in tv you always work them anyway, and when you don’t you’re not getting paid so they don’t mean much to me! So you’re another Brit then, blimey there are quite a few of us now, its becoming a good turnout from this side of the pond!
@ well – that’s interesting, do you mean a Creative Director in ads or something? A former flatmate of mine used to do PR but for a major credit card company rather than a celeb. They funded Alexander McQueen in the early stages of his career (his real name is Lee something or other) so I got to go to a couple of celeby type parties with her, which were a bit disappointing really (no more exciting than regular parties). She used to get his friends calling up to ask if she could cancel their credit card bills for them (the late Isabella Blow for one), such a bizarre job!
I know what you mean about PR though and it is a major bugbear of mine. The world is basically being sold lies in so many ways and they are often paying for the pleasure too. I never buy celeb magazines any more now I know most of it is completely made up PR crap. All the covers with Jen Aniston on them saying how devastated she is about John Mayer for example, people are paying good money to read this stuff and it iscompletely untrue. I think PR has got to such an extreme stage now that it has become acceptable for total lies to be sold to the public, not just with some celebs and some of the time, but with all celebs, literally all of the time. Its like everyone has to play the same game now just to stay in the public eye. I strongly believe that such deception should not be allowed to be practised on the public, it is massive, worldwide fraud IMO.
Re: Brad and Ange, do you think they would be contractually obliged to turn up at Cannes for a Tarantino film though? Don’t they tend to sell themselves? It would kind of be negating the “cool” Tarantino brand to have to rely on Brangelina for publicity wouldn”t it? Unless he is promoting another film there too?
@Keane:Keane, remember it’s all about supply and demand, it’s all about consumption. The PR Animal is exactly what we (meaning the public) have made it. Most people don’t care whether the gossip is true…if a good story is created about their fave celeb, that’s all that matters.
Artist contracts are getting more specific every day, and moreso for promotion elements for the launch of the film. If they’re not contractually obligated to both attend (whether it’s for IB or not), it is implied that the artist will do whatever they can to their BEST to promote. True, if there is *any* filmmaker I can think of who would so not give a shite about the ‘brand’ showing up it would be QT. But we don’t know if there’s something else at play here, future projects, etc.
My guess is there are still final details to be worked out. AJ may still not be ready to go public…and she’s filming, BP has a film out, they may not want to announce it yet for fear of it hurting their two projects. Trust me, there is so much $$ pressure on them both right now.
@ well – I think most people do believe it though, hell I even believed a lot of it until I’d started reading more on this site. Its only been recently I’ve come out of the clouds and seen the PR machinations for what they are. The money I’ve wasted on celeb mags in the past thinking that what was written was true or at least had a grain of truth in it, makes my blood boil! And I think most people would be pretty furious to discover that it was all the product of some PR person somewhere sat around in an office dreaming up ways of getting their client in to the press! I knew about some of it, from things Max Clifford has said about most of PR being about “protection” these days and I knew about fake relationships, but I didn’t realise that literally everything you read in a gossip mag is fabricated BS. The scale of it is shocking to me and I think it needs to be exposed.
Oh yeah, I know it all comes down to money with these people. Its the same reason Madge wanted to keep her divorce under wraps until after her tour, its all about the bottom line. What do you mean about there being such money pressure on them right now though? Do you mean in terms of their films doing well at the B.O. to justify their fee or in a more personal capacity, can you say?
@well: . The split won’t hurt the project imo. Inertia will hurt the it more than a scandelous bust-up, or any bust-up for that matter, of the adoring couple with a large multi-ethnic family.
It would be a good idea I would think for Jolie to wait until the SALT shoot is completed before making the announcement (so she can high-tail it to an undisclosed location), but Ian has reported they’re up to the paper signing stages. However she could use her shoot schedule as a very solid reason not to attend the IB premier, without needing to go public about the divorce.
@p:
Hey P, yes I know Ted has always maintained that, however why in the world would he still try and maintain that Brad would want to keep tapping that when she has put him through sheer hell? No one forced him to leave, by all accounts she was begging him to stay and trying every trick in the book to make sure he did from getting pregnant to adopting again. He could have if the sex was so great. I ain’t buying it. If it was so hot he would not have needed to bring in 3rd parties, he would not have needed any of the xtras. Now here we have a woman who did not leave her room fro 2 whole days because she thinks her imaginary friend has left her, she his bonkers, and we are to believe he wants someone like this to raise his kids? At one time she thought “Lefsetz” was a dog, maybe that is what led her to the dog fucking in the first place. This sounds scary similar to why her mom checked her into UCLA for mental evaluation and she checked her ass out without any help at all. Notice Mickey hints at the illegal adoption and her long history of mental illness. What is Brad’s part in all this? Sugar Ray said Brad dressed up in women’s clothes against his will, why? Did she have that much power on him? I agree, she may have at one point, in the early days, but I do not think she does any more. I think Brad Pitt is over it now, and wondering how he ever got himself into such a mess with such a batshit crazy woman and now is stuck with her as the mother of his kids. He is just a irresponsible imo if he does not fight for custody of these kids. To leave them with her is dangerous. JMO
@well:
To be realistic, they both loss their ass at Oscar, because they are together they are the laughing stock of Hollywood. Until they split,their careers are going nowhere. Her films just keep tanking, and his have not done well either, people hate them together. They may bring in ratings at the RC but that is only because people like to study how fake they are. lol
Brad has Tree of Life, not a big deal either, she has nothing coming up. He has his some on the table to start filming, but nothing coming out. The Guardian gave him a piss poor review already for IB. The longer they keep this charade up, the more it is going to hurt them both, but it will hurt him more. jmo
@Kate:
It is exaclty what i think.
i will add only that IMO he will fight for kids, just he need to find the right arguments in all this mess she’s building aginst him.
Probably when he first met her he would never thought she was in this way, and who knows, maybe he would have discovered if she wasnt pregnant of Shi after so few time.
@Kate:
So she has actually been delusional in the past? I didnt realize that – is she suppose to take medication? Oh no, no way – I refuse to have sympathy for the evil Ms. Jolie – I need that pink necklace to protect me from her hexes!!
@ Kate – hm I’m not sure, I can see him missing the sex. I think he got into it for that reason, and if he was going to miss anything then that would be it. Ian said he’s told friends of his that Jolie has given him “the best sex of his life” presumably because he got all the threesomes and however many somes, and extras and role play he wanted. You have to wonder what has really kept him with her all this time, when it sounds like things were at breaking point years ago. Maybe it wasn’t the kids, maybe it was the sex. People can get addicted to it, and well, I just don’t see Bradley as the shapest knife in the drawer, know what I mean, I can see him being led by his willy. Sex can be quite a powerful hold over men, much less so than women in my experience. I can totally see him missing the sex and maybe being tempted to go back there, just like a 13 y/o boy, like Ted says. I don’t think Bradley has made many grown-up, mature decisions in the past few years do you? The photospreads, the baby fever, the Sudanese? (If he is the A-lister she is referrng to). Comes over as a teenager trapped in the body of a middle-aged man to me. The archetypal mid-life crisis I guess! He needs to go back to Jen, stat, IMO. She’s the only one who comes across as a responsible adult to me. JMO!
@p:
I agree. They will look like total fools if they drag all those kids off to Cannes and put on the show they did last year and then announce the split six months later, people are not stupid. They are probably trying to wait until the twins are a year old so they do not look totally foolish. What did she say last year at Cannes, more on the way, these will not be the last..now if she goes, she will be asked when the next ones are coming..stupid to put themselves in the line of fire like that..jmo
@Keane:
I find that hard to believe Keane. Keep in mind that if Toni is right, then as of next month, they have been together for 6 years. That is almost as long as he was with Jen. I think Brad bragged about the sex in the beginning, not these last two years. No way. He has looked like shit. Does he look like a man that has been getting great sex to you? Na uh..not to me. He looks stressed, exhausted, worn out, tired of it, trying to figure out how to fix it, he has caught he screwing everyone and everything. You seriously think he enjoyed great sex after seeing her with the dog? noooo, I think he self medicates and goes into a different place, he used her like a sex toy, like whore. Ted implies that he can not wait to get home to the love of his life, the sexiest woman in the world, that no woman can get him off like her. Total bullshit. Ted is trying to say that none of what Ian is reporting is true. His bitchiness shows through too clearly imo. snark snark..he has been wrong many times, and I would bet he resents all of this, he still is stringing all this TT shit along when everyone knows it is Jake, and I would bet he was none to happy it was showcased here. IAN and Ted may still be friends, but green blood is running through his veins. The silence is sceaming nastiness from him and Lainey…jmo..they are jealous that IAN got the scoop and they did not.
@Kate: . Kate the problem is all accounts are the same. Everyone’s sources are saying something different. In fact Ian’s sources even seem to contradict. As for Mickey. He talks about AJ’s imaginary friends but also about Brad’s diaper issues. So if you’re going by Mickey or his ghost-writer’s account or whomever, I’m not sure either ought to have the kids. Let’s not forget it’s not only AJ that’s heavy into these kiddie promo shoots. And for all we know Brad leaves the kids behind so he can hook-up with other people. Add to it she has lovers on the side too and to further complicate matters, they both apparently crave both genders. That’s a lot of time taken away from family life. And remember we don’t know that he just walked out, or if it was a mutual decision (he’s fed-up, she’s bored). If he didn’t want a life with her anymore, she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant a second time, coz he wouldn’t have been screwing her. Nor would they both have been deep into adoption plans until recently, which further support the point that he has some need to be a part of this. Clearly something has been keeping him there and invested in the future (or was until VERY recently), even they both go back and forth on it. Maybe this time they’re split for good. But remember we thought that before we heard about the adoption plans (and that wasn’t just from “Toni”).
Quite possibly they both like third party sex. I think SR suggested that Brad set that up with Aniston. Why? Out of the goodness of his heart bc she thought deep down REALLY Jen wanted it? Or bc HE gets off on it?
@ Kate – well I guess everyone is gonna be jealous in that regard. But if no-one else has the courage to publish these stories then what do they expect? There must have been dozens of people out there who have been willing to dish the dirt on Brange for some time now, but nobody else was prepared to put their money where their mouth is (quite literally!). But I reckon once the floodgates are opened, they’ll all jump on board. Its like nobody wants to go first but nobody wants to miss the bus either. I think its taken some balls to do what Ian has done.
@Keane:
You are right I think he would be better if he did go back to Jen, at least his life would get back to normal. and the Brad we all remember. Jen is a beautiful person and I think that they could work out this time a lot of water has passed under the bridge since last time. JMO
@Kate: . Brad himself announced at (Cannes was it?) for the Burn After Reading, premier he thougt there would be 2 more next year. btw lookie at his IMDB list of projects in development. Does it look like he’s slowing down to you?
@p:
I don’t believe at this point, she was ever pregnant the second time around. I think he has stayed for the kids, and the adoption just weeks ago was a last ditch effort to hang in and try to stay with her again, for the kids. I don’t doubt he cares for her on some level, but nothing like it was. I realize also there are more than one account, but it is Ted’s intention I am questioning. He has said before Brad did not give a shit about AJ, he did not care enough to do anything about her drug habit because it was all about PR. They are both crap parents, but he is the better of the two, jmo. He at least has his parents to fall back on and he is not mentally unstable.
I agree, it is from MB book, so was Brad in a diaper, hell maybe he was, drugged up,she got him to dress in womenes clothes. I would bet in the early days he did what ever she wanted him too. If they starte mid 2003, well it is almost mid 2009. Six years ago, that is a long time to be carrying on with this shit. I would bet though he did not see then nasty stuff until after she really had him, when Shi was born. Then he saw the real Angelina Jolie. Dumbass had married her by then. jmo
So why add the kids, fake the twins use a surrogate, because he wants his soccer team.
Keeping themselves out of the line of fire with regards to red carpet questions…I would say that has a LOT to do with the way they acted at the Oscars…..not talking to ANYONE. @Kate:
@p:
I know he did, and by the time he did his interview with LK in the late fall he was hedging on that, ah hem ah well I don’t know. He had sort of changed his mind. I would bet they went back and forth when all the fighting, the PI, the BBT, the Oliver, he was cheating, and then in a last ditch effort he agreed, maybe because it was already in the works and he did not want to back out. Here is the thing, there was not a chance in hell they would be approved for the Phillipines. no way. Why she thought they would be is laughable. Brad probably knew that. Just look at the requirements. Same with India. The two places they tried, there was no chance at all.
Who knows P, maybe he will stay with her forever and the girls will end up just like her, after all Shiloh already has an imaginery friend too. I am sure Jolie thinks it is cute. She is picking up poo. Being well trained aleady.
@tyin:
Looks like that starts in about 6 weeks and will film all around the country. Maybe they can use some of the players AJ screwed at that party at A-Rods place.lol
Salt shoild be wrapped up about this time as well….so….
@Kate:Actually, they’re not the ‘laughing stock’ of the industry as they are both very bankable and people still make money from them. But they are..how do I say ‘having their careers as actors overshadowed by the circus that is the brand’. They’re still both big box office (which unfortunately accounts for so much), so they’re still bankable and people can still make lots of money from them. I believe their Oscar nominations were more to have them show up…and here I go back to the PR machine. They show up, there are more viewers, more media, all the advertisers make money. Sad, but true. But you know what was the most shameful of the entire thing awards season? The PR gimmick at the refugee camp. At the exact same time the voters’ deadline to send in their completed ballots for the Oscars, AJ staged this refugee visit, made sure it got wide coverage. Perfectly timed. I was waiting for it, and it didn’t disappoint. And it was shameless.
@Keane:The thing is…all of your disgust and frustration is lost on the general population. Most of them wouldn’t give a flying F if they discovered it was all fabricated. Welcome to the machine. Most of the ‘pressure’ that is put on an artist is to perform their duties and fulfill their contract. Imagine being in one of their positions? Receive this outlandish salary in exchange of single-handedly (or so it feels) carrying the film to box office greatness, and take in over 10x the salary.
Put it this way: by the time a celeb couple announces a split, there should be absolutely no surprise and it’s already considered to be fact. Now, that’s if a good publicist has done their job. When the official split is announced, no one should be surprised.
@Kate: . I’m just not convinced staying with a fuck-up so you can have a soccer team is any better.
I think if Brad didn’t mind AJ’s drug use, it only supports that he’s all about PR at any cost (diasterous for the children), and/or that addiction isn’t that big an issue to him, (let’s face it, he’s been known to dabble and has always drunk like a fish) not neccessarily that he didn’t care about AJ.
I don’t know… I will buy AJ’s manipulative powers only to a point — BBT got out after all. If it had really been about deep concern for the kids, he could have blown the whistle on her, up, down and sideways, many times over, long ago.
I agree Brad’s parents may be the kid’s best chance, but unfortunately it’s sounds like it’s too late for that.
@ well – re: the refugee pics, have you seen her most recent ones in Afghanistan? Takes “shameless” to an entirely new level. I’ll be stunned if people in the mainstream media don’t start to call her out on it soon. They were all done in B/W, included a photo of her solo reading some papers in her private jet and one where she is leaning over a newborn baby with a beatific Mother Teresa/Princess Diana-style look on her face. What it was supposed to have to do with the cause I do not know. I have never seen anything more designed to promote a celeb. She’s wearing a black shawl on all the shots are focused on her looking elegant and enigamtic with these “ethnic” extras all around her. When will a mainstream, reputable journalist call her out for it? I know its happened once or twice but nowhere near as much as it deserves? Grrrr…
Re: the gen public though I have to disagree, I think they would be mad if they knew that most of what they’re being sold is a lie. That’s why people get so up in arms on sites like this when some of the reality behind the facade is revealed to them. They get really angry and say no way I don’t believe it, and all they have to base it on is the PR stories and interviews they’ve read in magazines plus some “common sense” thrown in for good measure. That’s why people like Ian attract so much opposition. I just think people are so indoctrinated in the PR that its almost impossible for them to step outside it and comprehend that its all a completely fabricated web of untruth. I think that would shock people a lot and I think they would care, for sure. I find it morally outrageous and totally reprehensible.
@Kate: . If things wre that bad and he wanted out, he wouldn’t agree to continue adoption plans “because it was already in the works.” I’m not sure what’s going on with him but like I said, I ALWAYS thought BP was a media whore with his own bigger and better agenda, so I’m less inclined to see it as monster AJ’s absolute control agenda, that’s at the root of his lingering. The fact that he’s bi only makes this situation more cushy for him…he’ll never have to justify being away from home most of the time, for his multiple projects, and multiple affairs, this way. Tho I don’t doubt she’s nuts, I also wonder how nuts he is. It’s possible that two manipulative, attention-craving nuts can also be very unhappy together.
@well:
Brad lost money on AOJJ, money was lost on CCOBB, and money was not made in any abundance on Babel. Jolie only made money for anyone on Wanted. AMH lost, and Changeling did not do well either, not by Studio standards…just saying, not by what is expected for what they are paid …you and I must be hearing different things..lol
@well: . I agree completely “the PR gimmick at the refugee camp”, she staged was disgusting.
[Put it this way: by the time a celeb couple announces a split, there should be absolutely no surprise ..., that’s if a good publicist has done their job.]
YES! we’ve discussed that very thing here. They’ll exit the same way they entered… less, time together, seperate shots…. PR faux-candid snaps with the kids. “Yes we’re no longer together but remain comitted (drugged out) parents etc…” Yawn.
To answer your earlier question (I haven’t read every comment properly as the white on black kills my eyes) but Carson Kressley was the fashion expert on that show “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy” which was on back in about 2003 if my memory is correct. For some reason Australian companies sponsored trips for him out here, most notably to do fashion commentary on the Melbourne Cup horse race. That started a mutual affection and he’s back almost every year now for Fashion Week and various other events. I think he’s hilarious and bitchy.
@Sheriffe:
(I haven’t read every comment properly as the white on black kills my eyes) AH, MAN! YOU TOO?????? Here I’ve been thinking I’m the only one! I’ve given up reading without glasses, even though I don’t need them most of the time.
@Sheriffe:
Good to hear from you I’m in Melbourne also Glen Waverley. I remember him out here as well. I’m just wondering how come he knows so much about Brad and Ange, by the way he spoke it looked like he knew them personally which I don’t think he does. I thought he had something to do with fashion that is why he was brought out here for our dashing Logies, So I wonder what he knows about Brad and Ange he seemed to know what he was talking about.
I’m off to the USA in August for a month, visiting New Orleans for 1 week, I just hope he is there I speak to a girl from the Make It Right Foundation in NO she said he was there earlier in the year but he is due again. Anyway we know where his house is so we’ll check that out.
Benjamin Button is coming out on DVD today. Its an okay movie but its not this flawlessly perfect piece of art that its made out to be. To me he was playing Gump and Pitt seemed to have only facial expression throughout the whole film.
Hi My name is …, I am a 22 Swedish girl doing aid work in Vietnam and have been for the past 4 years. I got involved with this via my parents who unfortunatly died in Cambodia 2 years ago. I have a deep passion of human rights and am very humbled by the Cambodian and Vietnamese people. Last year I was living in Saigon and I actually got to meet Brad and Angelina whilst they were on their visit there. They seemed like a really nice couple however…..i was saddened to know in my heart it was all an act as I sat there asking myself…what the f.u.c.k are all us free aid workers doing here when u guys come in throw some cash around, stay in your five star security protected hotel (sorry, but in vietnam NO ONE knows you) and their big entourage of security knocking locals out of the way it was f.u.c.k.i.n.g disgusting…….they didn’t sleep in the compounds or live with any of us or the vietnamese people. they didn’t join in the activities that we were welcoming too instead opting to take a huge boat out on the water for the day and come back at night for the traditional dinner they were being offered. The ONLY time i saw them do ANY kind of “dirty” work was when my oh my – the papparazzi showed up! f.u.c.k off..sorry for the language but u should be able to understand my frustration at seeing papparazzi in Vietnam….funny how they knew when to show up at the right moment of miss jole and mr pit holding a poor viet kid with a let blown off..spare me. why don’t you come here miss jolie…stop taking the kids off their parents and instead pump your billions and billions of dollars into infrastructure and new orphanagies so that these babies can stay with their parents..why do you have to take them from their culture to ruin them with hollywood…why don’t you stop your ACTING job and come and live here with us aid workers..right now im sitting in 50 degree heat with feaces and flies everywhere…but today we have band aids – if you get bitten at leat we can cover it away from the flies…you like the sound of that huh? my email is ………com if anyone intersted..thanks for reading..
@guest – what a wonderful job in shitty conditions this lady is doing,i take my hat off to her and the many like her,but a big fat kudos to her for compiling this letter and setting the world straight on these two fake assholes.thanks guest for ‘the letter’,lets get this out there so mainstream media can begin to see what we all see on here!
@ guest – precisely. There was a comment on this site by someone to a very similar effect. She’s an aid worker in Thailand I believe, something to do with protecting children’s rights. She said Jolie was trying to adopt from there. Her comment, like the one you posted was utterly damning. Its got to get picked up in the mainstream media sometime…

I KNEW IT!!!! IUC Exclusive: Brad PREGNANT!
ReplyI keed, I keed, but I knew that mother fucker got fuckin’ fat! Angie sucked the hotness out of this man somethin’ FIERCE!
This is an old picture, on FF form the other day they posted one from last week and he’s actually on the skinny side. So cold showers, huh? I wonder who this new bunny is.
ReplySkinny?
ReplyHe’s a fat bald fuck.
Karma fucked him up da wazoo!
Does it mean something that Miss. Ninecent used an older picture of Brad? I wonder if the shower is an actual shower, or if it is a metaphore for some other action?
ReplyHe looks pretty thin to me and his hair looks thick , needs a haircut IMO and a few highlights. I took this to mean his image and him are being cleaned up for his new lady love. Dunno that may be wrong.
ReplyWhat’s with the hats, though?
That could be Kate, I don’t have any ideas on this one. I wonder who the new lady love is. And is Jen adopting?
Reply@Z:
ReplyDon’t know,but hey maybe this cold stimulating shower will get rid of the fugly hats, the baggy ass old man pants and he will start looking clean again like he did when he was with Jen.
The picture must mean something,got me though unless he is having his tatoos removed .
Replyi just saw this. discusses tatoos.

what are they trying to leave the biggest carbon footprint? fame, money, and power not enough?
ReplyIt was explained later by her that she was just doodling on his back when they were in Darvos, it was a romantic gesture and then they called in someone to make it permanent. They are not associated with New Orleans, but with her, as is her birthday across his lower abdomen.
Reply@Kate:
As Ms. 9 Cents only has 9 words, I agreed whole-heartedly with you on this one, Kate! Sooooo … I followed justhelping’s link. Thanks, by the way, JH! Funny thing about those pictures were they were taken just about this time last year – May 18, 2008. Brad was with the boys, AJ was with the girls … and “heavily pregnant.” The tattoos were guessed to represent the NO levees which broke during Hurricane Katrina. Sooooo … this brought to mind a couple of different things. Pregnancy, the family separated, and levees breaking. Now for the words.
Nice cold bracing shower freshens Brad for new Bunny.
ReplyNice … is it nice or Nice, France?
Cold shower by itself would be putting a chill on a desire, IMO. But a cold BRACING shower would indicate to me that something gone cold was actually supporting or strengthening a desire.
Freshens Brad … well, after all we’ve read — the poopie hand, the diaper sex, peeing in bed, etc., etc., — it certainly makes sense to mention that he NEEDS to be freshened. There has been a lot of poo flying around.
For now Bunny …pretty self-explanatory.
JMO
@Kate:
ReplyCould be! ; ) Getting rid of the hats alone would be a huge improvement.
@Z:
Hey … someone else’s on, I see. Figures it would be YOU, Z! LOL! Not to many others come on at this time! Sooo, it’s been a rather slow day, aye?
So what do you think about a cold shower in Nice, France, supporting BP’s venture in a new relash with a NEW bunny????
The rumors on this guy are KILLING ME! He couldn’t possibly be as whacked as all this is making him out to be, could he?
Reply@Togi:
ReplyGood guesses, Togi!!
@Z:
ReplyGood guesses … ya think? WHOO HOOOOOO! By the way … there’s no way BP’s shirt just so happened to be blown up by the wind, as was claimed in the story that went along with the photo! And his tattoos are just a bunch of dumb lines. How lame.
@Togi:
LOL! It does figure!! I just got on later tonight…couldn’t during the day…so it was slow tonight…but it is late…lol….or not, depending on your time zone.
I think Nice is a great guess! And the freshening…lol….hmmm, I wonder if he’s bringing a new bunny to Cannes. It would be shocking, considering they ares till pretending to be together….jmo, of, course.
Reply@Togi:
ReplyOh, yeah, I agree, btw, ….I agree with the theory that AJ is leaking false rumors about him.
@Togi:
ReplyLOL…yeah,,,right! If it was a flowy peasant shirt maybe. But a t-shirt? Nah.
@Z:
ReplyYa know … I HEAR YOU on that one! I don’t get it. I don’t care if he’s aged or his hair is thinning or whatever. Life happens and we all age so what the heck! But he is still a really good looking man — MAN being the operative word. He’s not some young DUDE who needs to show his funk.
@Z:
ReplyI liked the way it “rolled up” in the wind. LOL Of course those were the words of the reporter, not BP! What a dork.
@Togi:
ReplyRight on! We all get old. The hats gotta go! It must be aging hair and he’s embarrassed…but he isn’t going to have the sex symbol image forever (esp. if people buy the lack of toilet paper story). lol.

ReplyHe obviously pulled it up (it looks that way anyway)…whether he intended to show the tatts, idk.

Reply@Kate:
ReplyWell … speaking as someone who actually has and LIKES tattoos (nice ones, anyway), those are some pretty dumb ones for an man his age! Good grief. If they are, as AJ said, just doodles, what the heck! You don’t just doodle and have it made into a tattoo. D-U-M-B! And it looks dumb, too. Duh
Oh … and hello, Kate. Did you enjoy your weekend?

@Togi:
ReplyYeah, make it a read drawing at least. Like a gun….jk.
@Z:
Replyreal drawing…not read drawing. sigh. I suppose I should turn in…..lol. But isn’t the wonderful, multi-talented AJ also an incredible artist! I am being so sarcastic.
@Togi:
ReplyThere are some gorgeous ones out there! With beautiful colors! You are right, that is just ….hmmm what’s the word…..fugly!
Well, there is a good general rule of thumb to follow for getting a tattoo. Don’t put something on your body that you’re going to regret! LOL. Nice general rule, but not generally followed! Ha! I think BP was so mesmerized by AJ that he was trying to be just like her and impress her and all that. He obviously didn’t put any thought into his tats. And they look like junk. He has another one on his arm which, I think, is the Ice Man or something like that. It is a HORRIBLE picture. If the art was nice, at least he’d be walking around with a nice piece of art. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such rubbish. I know guys in prison (not personally, mind you, but through ministries) with much more meaningful tatts. They may be harsh and angry tatts, but they are VERY meaningful to the guys. It appears to me, at least, that Brad just threw a bunch of crap on himself to impress AJ. Ugh. So NOT the reason to get a tatt!
Reply@Togi:
ReplyI agree….and he probably was not considering that they would split and he would not want those on his bod anymore. I know the other one, too…also not a nice tattoo. I agree…good tatts are art. His kinda look like prison tatts….and not good ones, at that. But, the plain lines…that type of thing.
@Z:
ReplyAnd yes, there are beautiful pieces of art out there. I have a beautiful hand-drawn peacock with my daughter’s name hidden in the feathers on one shoulder, a hibiscus and filigree and lily arm band on the other arm with the words A hui hoa aku apo a leva Makua Kani (which is Hawaiian for until we meet again in Heaven, Daddy), a wooden cross with a purple cloth on it with the sign King of the Jews above it and Scripture Isaiah 43:1 … “Thus,” said the Lord, “Do not fear for I have redeemed you and called you by name. You are mine.”) and a red rose on my lower back, and a just for fun ankle band. No doubt I will get another one or two before I die … as important things happen to me.
@Togi:
ReplyWhoa! That sounds so gorgeous. I absolutely love peacocks….the colors are stunning. They all sound beautiful! I like the Hawaiian saying. My dad died a few years ago and I feel the same way. We’ll see each other again. Do you have pictures of them?
Does anyone remember when this picture was taken? I wonder where he was heading in the helicopter and if he was alone or traveling with the family? If it was taken around the summer of 2007, isn’t that when stuff began to crash and burn in the relationship? Maybe he is acting out past behaviors? JMO! Or I could be talking out my ass and grasping at imaginary straws. I just think there is a reason this picture is up there. I don’t know if that even made sense.
ReplyNevermind, there’s Pax.
Reply@Z:
ReplyHis look like whip marks, maybe that’s what they really were. LOL Explained them away as tats.
@Togi:
ReplyHIs trip to Nice (Miraval) gave him the fortitude to put up with AJ (and her bunny antics) during Cannes, after not living with her for months.
@Canuck:
ReplyHmmmmmm. Let me think about that for a sec. And by the way … before I looked closer at that posted pic of BP I thought his tatts were scratch marks!!!! After taking a closer look … he would have been better off if they HAD been! LOL
@Togi:
ReplyMaybe that’s his way of wearing his “mistress Angie’s” marks? Immortalizing whip marks on his skin via tattoos? No wonder he was embarrassed and called them “personal” on Oprah, if that is the case. lol
@Canuck:
ReplyI like “fortitude.” That’s right along the “bracing” / “strengthening” line and more of what I was trying to verbalize. Thanks. And I’m thinking that “Nice” is France, not “kind.” LOL. Bunny is something Ian/Sugar/Ms. 9 Cents use to refer to AJ and her girls … right? So maybe it’s something like this: Brad’s trip to France gave him a shower of cold reality, which woke him up to the fact that he needed more courage and fortitude to continue on. He found that, he was “refreshed”, and is now ready for more CRAP with AJ and the bunnies! JMO
@Canuck:
ReplyHow freaking EMBARRASSING! At least AJ has some quality tattoos. They’re not beautiful or attractive, but they are extremely well done and have a lot of meaning to them … AND artistically speaking, they flow on her body. But his are just dumb, dumb, dumb! Like a kid took a marker and marked up his body. What a dork. I’d be embarrassed, too. Actually, I’d just go to a GOOD artist and have them do something decent with them! Since he obviously doesn’t have any sense when it comes to body art, I think he’d better leave it up to the artist’s discretion!
By the way … what in the HECK does Bunny Boo mean?????
Replybenjaminbutton14.
I don’t know if you know this guy I am talking about he is an American and he is out here in Australia for our television awards.
His name is Cardon Kressly and he gave an interview on Australian television this morning that Brad and Angie have officially split. And whats more he has a good chance of getting custody of the 3 children that are his (or supposed to be) Also there is a good chance he will go back to Jennifer Anistan he has been chatting to her a fair bit, and gave her advice on adopting an american baby boy. He is said to have told her that she would make a great Mom. She is never going to find anyone who can fill Brads shoes, and has always taken his advice. I hope things work out for them they do make a great couple some people might argue over that. I think that they would make a better go of it now.
ReplyWhy would Cardon Kressly know those details? And why would he announce it in an interview?
I’m not saying that he doesn’t, or that he didn’t, but why?
Reply@Togi:
That’s pretty much how I interpret it too.

If I were Carson I’d be totally embarrassed to be seen at these awards, but I guess you gotta pay the bills.
I’m not drawing that conclusion because they are both gossipy gay men, but because I recall when Queer Eye was still airing Ted used to publish items about the fab five all the time, which led me to assume they were at least acquainted.

No doubt, MTV will do anything to get Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to its upcoming Movie Awards.
“We’re sure Brangelina will receive many nominations (remember, this past year included Jolie in Wanted, Changeling and Kung Fu Panda, along with Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading), but for now we know of at least one so far for Ms. Jolie.
My peeps at MTV tell me that this year’s 18th annual awards, which will be handed out on May 31 and telecast live from L.A.’s Gibson Amphitheatre, will include a new category: Best WTF Moment.
Nominees include:
Angelina Jolie: Wanted, Curved Bullet Kill
Amy Poehler: Baby Mama, Peeing in the Sink
Ayush Mahesh Khedekar: Slumdog Millionaire, Jumping in the Poop Shed
Ben Stiller: Tropic Thunder, Tasting the Decapitated Head
Jason Segel and Kristen Bell: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Naked Breakup
We say Ayush from Slumdog should take home the Golden Popcorn. Do you agree? Let us know what you think”

I think it hilarious. I didn’t see it either , have no plans to, saw the ad for the movie, I know what scene it is, pretty lame, the graphic books that the movie is based on, now that I’ll look into.
ReplyI think it’s in the same vein as “Sin City”, I heard the rumor that she was looking into “Sin City” 2, I hope not, that was a great movie, and she would ruin it. To be fair , I did see the “Good Shepard”, I like Matt Damon, she did a decent job in the movie, and I was surprised, a very understated role for her, supporting actress in this movie and she did it welI, I am ever an A-list movie star . She is too dramatic, when I saw the ad for “Changeling” with her patented shreeching ,for the line “I want MY son, back”, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stomach almost 2 hours of that., that’s apity for me, because I like John Malcovich, and I thought he was too good to be in this flick with her, Niaomi Watts, would have done a better job at this role.

ReplyBP is for sure a better actor, and i think he did a big mistake in his life joining her. I suppose he wasn’t really aware of what he was doing splitting from Jen… For sure i believe if he could have seen the future he would have acted in another way. My opinion obviusly

Reply“We just SEEN”???? Nice. @wow:
Reply@ Mama San – The Telegraph is a UK broadsheet and fairly credible yes. Our other broadsheets are The Independent, The Guardian and The Times. The Times is a Rupert Murdoch paper though (as are The Sun, The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express – the latter two are the two most hateful, scare-mongering, prejudiced, inflammatory publications in the UK) and thought by most intelligent/educated people to be a rag. Well left-wing/liberal people for sure. Its not at all immune to the seductive powers of celebrity and recently had a glowing, kiss-ass interview with and tribute to the modern day saint Angelina Jolie. Enough said about them. The Telegraph is not so bad though and The Guardian (liberal, lefty) and The Independent (tries to be what it says on the tin) are fine, although they’ve become more tabloidised in recent years to compete with the popularity of gossip mags and so on. There are far fewer celeb stories in them but I doubt they’re completely immune to the planted PR fake. Anyway, there’s my quick rundown of Brit newspapers for ya!
@ well – I agree with the PR stories, they seem to be hurriedly being put out to pave the way for the eventual split announcement and to get the public used to the idea. I think there will be quite a few more “trouble in paradise” stories over the next year so that people are slowly eased into it as it were! BTW, what area of “the industry”(!) do you work in?

ReplyThanks, sorry.
@ Kate – yeah I would be amazed if they could keep the charade up for that long, its a long old time to fake it for considering there have been so many suspcions about the state of their relationship already. I also think there is far too much bad blood between them (far more than Madge and Guy) for them to be able to put on a united front for the cameras. Plus Madge and Guy never really did the “we’re so loved up” PDA thing, he was very blokey with her in public. Brangelina would not only have to appear that they were still together but that they were still the biggest lurve story of all time, which is how they have sold themselves. I think that’s why it looks so much more obvious with them. If they’d shown off about their relationship a bit less in the earlier stages then they might have been slightly more convincing when they were faking it at the end. But then of course that would have defeated the object of them being together i.e. being the most famous, beautiful, totally amazing and bestest couple of all time in eternity! Lol. JMO! Ha ha ha!

There goes TED again with one of his snitty littel comments towards IAN, that is desgined to say he does not believe what his reports are. Now I ask, this man who is sleeping with hookers, impregnating other women, getting the hell beat out of him by Jolie, having to track her with a PI, possily madly in love with Sudu, or on fire for the motorcycle chick, really wants to sleep with this batshit crazy woman again-
Someone save the children please,if Brad will not do it. I am starting to agree, who makes these things up and gets away with it. The guy is steadfast he saw the proposal now granted Jolie may be leaking the dirt on Pitt, and this is not something she probably cares anyone knows but damn damn damn do not give her anymore kids-PLEASE!
From Daryl-
Okay, part of me doubts the stories coming from Brangelina’s bodyguard. However, a story that Angelina Jolie has an imaginary friend named Lefsetz who gives her advice on acting, sex, mothering and grocery shopping is just way too out there to be made up. Yes, readers, you are not dreaming. According to a book proposal, Angelina has nightly meetings with her imaginary friend Lefsetz in the bathroom before going to sleep. Brad Pitt is perfectly fine with this.
Angelina reportedly met Lefsetz when she was a younger child and didn’t feel she was getting enough attention from her parents. At first, Lefsetz was a dog, then turned into a cat, then into an elephant, then an alien, and now is a full-blooded imaginary human. Lefsetz has comforted Angelina Jolie not only during her divorce, but her parents’ divorce as well. Lefsetz was there to comfort Angelina during her corrupt adoption from Cambodia that ruined the lives of thouswands of orphans in that country forever thanks to Angelina’s baby buying skills.
The proposal says that Lefsetz is actually a healthy addition to Angelina’s mental health, which has never been normal. “Angelina goes from periods of extreme happiness to extreme sadness in a matter of seconds,” the proposal reads. It also notes that two years ago, Angelina would not leave her bedroom for two days because she thought Lefsetz had left her.
Reading this proposal actually makes me feel sorry for the sometimes good actress, sometimes homewrecker, and serial baby snatcher. Angelina Jolie might have taken her mental illness to successful extremes, but it might leave her very disturbed in the end. Even if we are not religious, we should all pray for Angelina’s mental health and pray even harder that the information in this proposal really isn’t true.

Reading this proposal actually makes me feel sorry for the sometimes good actress, sometimes homewrecker, and serial baby snatcher. Angelina Jolie might have taken her mental illness to successful extremes, but it might leave her very disturbed in the end. Even if we are not religious, we should all pray for Angelina’s mental health and pray even harder that the information in this proposal really isn’t true.

Replytattoos are ugly. calling them “tatts” doesnt make them less so.
Possession is a serious disease.
ReplyBut if Brad’s interested in all these other chicks and uber-hot for at least one — presumably one of the pregnant ones, why would he need a PI to follow her around, or care that AJ has her own extra-curriculars? And Ted has always thought it was AJ that had the upper hand as far as who was more infatuated with who, in that relationship. So that’s not new on his part, he’s never wavered on the point.
Reply@ moo – sorry yes you’re right, I’m both tired and pukey today, my brain is not in order at all. That’s why Brange get a lot of support in The Mail methinks because OK depend on them for stories. I like The Mirror also, its left-wing and has gossip, which is all I think you really need in a newspaper! The Star I don’t really consider a newspaper these days, I’m not sure if it ever really was. It seems to be made up entirely of Chanelle from BB with her baps out and then some made-up shit cadged from the internet. Its like The Daily Sport for people with a slightly less dirty mind. Who buys that crap?!
Reply@ Togi – Re: your “tatts” – can you get any more hysterical?! What are we going to hear next, you spent three years in Tibet learning to be a Buddhist monk and have recently completed a diploma in freediving???? What else do you have up your sleeve?!

ReplyI disagree as I have seen many beautiful “tattoos.” Not all are beautiful, of course. Many are angry and are meant to outwardly display such a sentiment.

ReplyAgree with you on the Star just tits, BB girls and asylum seeker scare stories.

Reply@Keane:I’ve worked in various facets of the industry, from creative direction to PR. Did a small amount of acting too, but mostly small stuff. One of my best friends was a successful publicist, it’s amazing how much of a machine it really is…and what’s more amazing is how we (meaning the public) digest every single piece of media and accept it to be the truth. The media owns us and they own the ‘brands’, and a good publicist could mean the difference between making and breaking an artists’ career.
I think the break up will happen sooner rather than later, depending on what they’re both contractually bound to with their upcoming projects. There is a good chance that BP and AJ may NEED to attend Cannes together, if you know what i mean…

Reply@ moo – yeah I’ve had it all week which is why my mind hasn’t been too focused on Ian’s posts, I’ll blame it on Angelina playing with her voodoo dolls I reckon, nothing at all to do with my non-existent immune system! And yeah its a bit of a bugger it being the bank holiday and all but when you work in tv you always work them anyway, and when you don’t you’re not getting paid so they don’t mean much to me! So you’re another Brit then, blimey there are quite a few of us now, its becoming a good turnout from this side of the pond!
@ well – that’s interesting, do you mean a Creative Director in ads or something? A former flatmate of mine used to do PR but for a major credit card company rather than a celeb. They funded Alexander McQueen in the early stages of his career (his real name is Lee something or other) so I got to go to a couple of celeby type parties with her, which were a bit disappointing really (no more exciting than regular parties). She used to get his friends calling up to ask if she could cancel their credit card bills for them (the late Isabella Blow for one), such a bizarre job!
I know what you mean about PR though and it is a major bugbear of mine. The world is basically being sold lies in so many ways and they are often paying for the pleasure too. I never buy celeb magazines any more now I know most of it is completely made up PR crap. All the covers with Jen Aniston on them saying how devastated she is about John Mayer for example, people are paying good money to read this stuff and it iscompletely untrue. I think PR has got to such an extreme stage now that it has become acceptable for total lies to be sold to the public, not just with some celebs and some of the time, but with all celebs, literally all of the time. Its like everyone has to play the same game now just to stay in the public eye. I strongly believe that such deception should not be allowed to be practised on the public, it is massive, worldwide fraud IMO.
Re: Brad and Ange, do you think they would be contractually obliged to turn up at Cannes for a Tarantino film though? Don’t they tend to sell themselves? It would kind of be negating the “cool” Tarantino brand to have to rely on Brangelina for publicity wouldn”t it? Unless he is promoting another film there too?

@Keane:
ReplyYep another one from good ol’ Blighty but living abroad at the moment due to my husbands work and I cannot wait.
@Keane:Keane, remember it’s all about supply and demand, it’s all about consumption. The PR Animal is exactly what we (meaning the public) have made it. Most people don’t care whether the gossip is true…if a good story is created about their fave celeb, that’s all that matters.
Artist contracts are getting more specific every day, and moreso for promotion elements for the launch of the film. If they’re not contractually obligated to both attend (whether it’s for IB or not), it is implied that the artist will do whatever they can to their BEST to promote. True, if there is *any* filmmaker I can think of who would so not give a shite about the ‘brand’ showing up it would be QT. But we don’t know if there’s something else at play here, future projects, etc.
My guess is there are still final details to be worked out. AJ may still not be ready to go public…and she’s filming, BP has a film out, they may not want to announce it yet for fear of it hurting their two projects. Trust me, there is so much $$ pressure on them both right now.
ReplyIsn’t Tarantino in need of a hit? Grindhouse didn’t do that well in the box office from I recall.
ReplyCanuck you are funny…maybe they are whip marks.
Reply@ well – I think most people do believe it though, hell I even believed a lot of it until I’d started reading more on this site. Its only been recently I’ve come out of the clouds and seen the PR machinations for what they are. The money I’ve wasted on celeb mags in the past thinking that what was written was true or at least had a grain of truth in it, makes my blood boil! And I think most people would be pretty furious to discover that it was all the product of some PR person somewhere sat around in an office dreaming up ways of getting their client in to the press! I knew about some of it, from things Max Clifford has said about most of PR being about “protection” these days and I knew about fake relationships, but I didn’t realise that literally everything you read in a gossip mag is fabricated BS. The scale of it is shocking to me and I think it needs to be exposed.
Oh yeah, I know it all comes down to money with these people. Its the same reason Madge wanted to keep her divorce under wraps until after her tour, its all about the bottom line. What do you mean about there being such money pressure on them right now though? Do you mean in terms of their films doing well at the B.O. to justify their fee or in a more personal capacity, can you say?
Reply@well: . The split won’t hurt the project imo. Inertia will hurt the it more than a scandelous bust-up, or any bust-up for that matter, of the adoring couple with a large multi-ethnic family.
It would be a good idea I would think for Jolie to wait until the SALT shoot is completed before making the announcement (so she can high-tail it to an undisclosed location), but Ian has reported they’re up to the paper signing stages. However she could use her shoot schedule as a very solid reason not to attend the IB premier, without needing to go public about the divorce.
Reply@p:
ReplyHey P, yes I know Ted has always maintained that, however why in the world would he still try and maintain that Brad would want to keep tapping that when she has put him through sheer hell? No one forced him to leave, by all accounts she was begging him to stay and trying every trick in the book to make sure he did from getting pregnant to adopting again. He could have if the sex was so great. I ain’t buying it. If it was so hot he would not have needed to bring in 3rd parties, he would not have needed any of the xtras. Now here we have a woman who did not leave her room fro 2 whole days because she thinks her imaginary friend has left her, she his bonkers, and we are to believe he wants someone like this to raise his kids? At one time she thought “Lefsetz” was a dog, maybe that is what led her to the dog fucking in the first place. This sounds scary similar to why her mom checked her into UCLA for mental evaluation and she checked her ass out without any help at all. Notice Mickey hints at the illegal adoption and her long history of mental illness. What is Brad’s part in all this? Sugar Ray said Brad dressed up in women’s clothes against his will, why? Did she have that much power on him? I agree, she may have at one point, in the early days, but I do not think she does any more. I think Brad Pitt is over it now, and wondering how he ever got himself into such a mess with such a batshit crazy woman and now is stuck with her as the mother of his kids. He is just a irresponsible imo if he does not fight for custody of these kids. To leave them with her is dangerous. JMO
@Z:
ReplyThat was actually my first thought since it was previously mentioned the evil Ms. Jolie was into S&M!
@well:
To be realistic, they both loss their ass at Oscar, because they are together they are the laughing stock of Hollywood. Until they split,their careers are going nowhere. Her films just keep tanking, and his have not done well either, people hate them together. They may bring in ratings at the RC but that is only because people like to study how fake they are. lol
Brad has Tree of Life, not a big deal either, she has nothing coming up. He has his some on the table to start filming, but nothing coming out. The Guardian gave him a piss poor review already for IB. The longer they keep this charade up, the more it is going to hurt them both, but it will hurt him more. jmo
Reply@Kate:
ReplyIt is exaclty what i think.
i will add only that IMO he will fight for kids, just he need to find the right arguments in all this mess she’s building aginst him.
Probably when he first met her he would never thought she was in this way, and who knows, maybe he would have discovered if she wasnt pregnant of Shi after so few time.
@Kate:
ReplySo she has actually been delusional in the past? I didnt realize that – is she suppose to take medication? Oh no, no way – I refuse to have sympathy for the evil Ms. Jolie – I need that pink necklace to protect me from her hexes!!
@ Kate – hm I’m not sure, I can see him missing the sex. I think he got into it for that reason, and if he was going to miss anything then that would be it. Ian said he’s told friends of his that Jolie has given him “the best sex of his life” presumably because he got all the threesomes and however many somes, and extras and role play he wanted. You have to wonder what has really kept him with her all this time, when it sounds like things were at breaking point years ago. Maybe it wasn’t the kids, maybe it was the sex. People can get addicted to it, and well, I just don’t see Bradley as the shapest knife in the drawer, know what I mean, I can see him being led by his willy. Sex can be quite a powerful hold over men, much less so than women in my experience. I can totally see him missing the sex and maybe being tempted to go back there, just like a 13 y/o boy, like Ted says. I don’t think Bradley has made many grown-up, mature decisions in the past few years do you? The photospreads, the baby fever, the Sudanese? (If he is the A-lister she is referrng to). Comes over as a teenager trapped in the body of a middle-aged man to me. The archetypal mid-life crisis I guess! He needs to go back to Jen, stat, IMO. She’s the only one who comes across as a responsible adult to me. JMO!
Reply@p:
ReplyI agree. They will look like total fools if they drag all those kids off to Cannes and put on the show they did last year and then announce the split six months later, people are not stupid. They are probably trying to wait until the twins are a year old so they do not look totally foolish. What did she say last year at Cannes, more on the way, these will not be the last..now if she goes, she will be asked when the next ones are coming..stupid to put themselves in the line of fire like that..jmo
@Keane:
ReplyI find that hard to believe Keane. Keep in mind that if Toni is right, then as of next month, they have been together for 6 years. That is almost as long as he was with Jen. I think Brad bragged about the sex in the beginning, not these last two years. No way. He has looked like shit. Does he look like a man that has been getting great sex to you? Na uh..not to me. He looks stressed, exhausted, worn out, tired of it, trying to figure out how to fix it, he has caught he screwing everyone and everything. You seriously think he enjoyed great sex after seeing her with the dog? noooo, I think he self medicates and goes into a different place, he used her like a sex toy, like whore. Ted implies that he can not wait to get home to the love of his life, the sexiest woman in the world, that no woman can get him off like her. Total bullshit. Ted is trying to say that none of what Ian is reporting is true. His bitchiness shows through too clearly imo. snark snark..he has been wrong many times, and I would bet he resents all of this, he still is stringing all this TT shit along when everyone knows it is Jake, and I would bet he was none to happy it was showcased here. IAN and Ted may still be friends, but green blood is running through his veins. The silence is sceaming nastiness from him and Lainey…jmo..they are jealous that IAN got the scoop and they did not.
@Kate: . Kate the problem is all accounts are the same. Everyone’s sources are saying something different. In fact Ian’s sources even seem to contradict. As for Mickey. He talks about AJ’s imaginary friends but also about Brad’s diaper issues. So if you’re going by Mickey or his ghost-writer’s account or whomever, I’m not sure either ought to have the kids. Let’s not forget it’s not only AJ that’s heavy into these kiddie promo shoots. And for all we know Brad leaves the kids behind so he can hook-up with other people. Add to it she has lovers on the side too and to further complicate matters, they both apparently crave both genders. That’s a lot of time taken away from family life. And remember we don’t know that he just walked out, or if it was a mutual decision (he’s fed-up, she’s bored). If he didn’t want a life with her anymore, she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant a second time, coz he wouldn’t have been screwing her. Nor would they both have been deep into adoption plans until recently, which further support the point that he has some need to be a part of this. Clearly something has been keeping him there and invested in the future (or was until VERY recently), even they both go back and forth on it. Maybe this time they’re split for good. But remember we thought that before we heard about the adoption plans (and that wasn’t just from “Toni”).
Quite possibly they both like third party sex. I think SR suggested that Brad set that up with Aniston. Why? Out of the goodness of his heart bc she thought deep down REALLY Jen wanted it? Or bc HE gets off on it?
Reply@p: . OOOPs. I meant to say…the problem is NOT all accounts are the same.
Reply@ Kate – well I guess everyone is gonna be jealous in that regard. But if no-one else has the courage to publish these stories then what do they expect? There must have been dozens of people out there who have been willing to dish the dirt on Brange for some time now, but nobody else was prepared to put their money where their mouth is (quite literally!). But I reckon once the floodgates are opened, they’ll all jump on board. Its like nobody wants to go first but nobody wants to miss the bus either. I think its taken some balls to do what Ian has done.
@ gitano – who is Singer?
Reply@Keane:
ReplyYou are right I think he would be better if he did go back to Jen, at least his life would get back to normal. and the Brad we all remember. Jen is a beautiful person and I think that they could work out this time a lot of water has passed under the bridge since last time. JMO
@Kate: . Brad himself announced at (Cannes was it?) for the Burn After Reading, premier he thougt there would be 2 more next year. btw lookie at his IMDB list of projects in development. Does it look like he’s slowing down to you?
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000093/
Reply@p:
I don’t believe at this point, she was ever pregnant the second time around. I think he has stayed for the kids, and the adoption just weeks ago was a last ditch effort to hang in and try to stay with her again, for the kids. I don’t doubt he cares for her on some level, but nothing like it was. I realize also there are more than one account, but it is Ted’s intention I am questioning. He has said before Brad did not give a shit about AJ, he did not care enough to do anything about her drug habit because it was all about PR. They are both crap parents, but he is the better of the two, jmo. He at least has his parents to fall back on and he is not mentally unstable.
I agree, it is from MB book, so was Brad in a diaper, hell maybe he was, drugged up,she got him to dress in womenes clothes. I would bet in the early days he did what ever she wanted him too. If they starte mid 2003, well it is almost mid 2009. Six years ago, that is a long time to be carrying on with this shit. I would bet though he did not see then nasty stuff until after she really had him, when Shi was born. Then he saw the real Angelina Jolie. Dumbass had married her by then. jmo
So why add the kids, fake the twins use a surrogate, because he wants his soccer team.

ReplyMoneyball will start in june
Keeping themselves out of the line of fire with regards to red carpet questions…I would say that has a LOT to do with the way they acted at the Oscars…..not talking to ANYONE. @Kate:
Reply@p:
I know he did, and by the time he did his interview with LK in the late fall he was hedging on that, ah hem ah well I don’t know. He had sort of changed his mind. I would bet they went back and forth when all the fighting, the PI, the BBT, the Oliver, he was cheating, and then in a last ditch effort he agreed, maybe because it was already in the works and he did not want to back out. Here is the thing, there was not a chance in hell they would be approved for the Phillipines. no way. Why she thought they would be is laughable. Brad probably knew that. Just look at the requirements. Same with India. The two places they tried, there was no chance at all.
Who knows P, maybe he will stay with her forever and the girls will end up just like her, after all Shiloh already has an imaginery friend too. I am sure Jolie thinks it is cute. She is picking up poo. Being well trained aleady.

Reply@Kate:Actually, they’re not the ‘laughing stock’ of the industry as they are both very bankable and people still make money from them. But they are..how do I say ‘having their careers as actors overshadowed by the circus that is the brand’. They’re still both big box office (which unfortunately accounts for so much), so they’re still bankable and people can still make lots of money from them. I believe their Oscar nominations were more to have them show up…and here I go back to the PR machine. They show up, there are more viewers, more media, all the advertisers make money. Sad, but true. But you know what was the most shameful of the entire thing awards season? The PR gimmick at the refugee camp. At the exact same time the voters’ deadline to send in their completed ballots for the Oscars, AJ staged this refugee visit, made sure it got wide coverage. Perfectly timed. I was waiting for it, and it didn’t disappoint. And it was shameless.
@Keane:The thing is…all of your disgust and frustration is lost on the general population. Most of them wouldn’t give a flying F if they discovered it was all fabricated. Welcome to the machine. Most of the ‘pressure’ that is put on an artist is to perform their duties and fulfill their contract. Imagine being in one of their positions? Receive this outlandish salary in exchange of single-handedly (or so it feels) carrying the film to box office greatness, and take in over 10x the salary.
Put it this way: by the time a celeb couple announces a split, there should be absolutely no surprise and it’s already considered to be fact. Now, that’s if a good publicist has done their job. When the official split is announced, no one should be surprised.
Reply@Kate
ReplyIt seems the rumors you reported were right…

even if there are no pics of him…
@Kate: . I’m just not convinced staying with a fuck-up so you can have a soccer team is any better.
I think if Brad didn’t mind AJ’s drug use, it only supports that he’s all about PR at any cost (diasterous for the children), and/or that addiction isn’t that big an issue to him, (let’s face it, he’s been known to dabble and has always drunk like a fish) not neccessarily that he didn’t care about AJ.
I don’t know… I will buy AJ’s manipulative powers only to a point — BBT got out after all. If it had really been about deep concern for the kids, he could have blown the whistle on her, up, down and sideways, many times over, long ago.
I agree Brad’s parents may be the kid’s best chance, but unfortunately it’s sounds like it’s too late for that.
Reply@ well – re: the refugee pics, have you seen her most recent ones in Afghanistan? Takes “shameless” to an entirely new level. I’ll be stunned if people in the mainstream media don’t start to call her out on it soon. They were all done in B/W, included a photo of her solo reading some papers in her private jet and one where she is leaning over a newborn baby with a beatific Mother Teresa/Princess Diana-style look on her face. What it was supposed to have to do with the cause I do not know. I have never seen anything more designed to promote a celeb. She’s wearing a black shawl on all the shots are focused on her looking elegant and enigamtic with these “ethnic” extras all around her. When will a mainstream, reputable journalist call her out for it? I know its happened once or twice but nowhere near as much as it deserves? Grrrr…
Re: the gen public though I have to disagree, I think they would be mad if they knew that most of what they’re being sold is a lie. That’s why people get so up in arms on sites like this when some of the reality behind the facade is revealed to them. They get really angry and say no way I don’t believe it, and all they have to base it on is the PR stories and interviews they’ve read in magazines plus some “common sense” thrown in for good measure. That’s why people like Ian attract so much opposition. I just think people are so indoctrinated in the PR that its almost impossible for them to step outside it and comprehend that its all a completely fabricated web of untruth. I think that would shock people a lot and I think they would care, for sure. I find it morally outrageous and totally reprehensible.

If things wre that bad and he wanted out, he wouldn’t agree to continue adoption plans “because it was already in the works.” I’m not sure what’s going on with him but like I said, I ALWAYS thought BP was a media whore with his own bigger and better agenda, so I’m less inclined to see it as monster AJ’s absolute control agenda, that’s at the root of his lingering. The fact that he’s bi only makes this situation more cushy for him…he’ll never have to justify being away from home most of the time, for his multiple projects, and multiple affairs, this way. Tho I don’t doubt she’s nuts, I also wonder how nuts he is. It’s possible that two manipulative, attention-craving nuts can also be very unhappy together.

Hey BB14, I’m in Melbourne.
To answer your earlier question (I haven’t read every comment properly as the white on black kills my eyes) but Carson Kressley was the fashion expert on that show “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy” which was on back in about 2003 if my memory is correct. For some reason Australian companies sponsored trips for him out here, most notably to do fashion commentary on the Melbourne Cup horse race. That started a mutual affection and he’s back almost every year now for Fashion Week and various other events. I think he’s hilarious and bitchy.

Good to hear from you I’m in Melbourne also Glen Waverley. I remember him out here as well. I’m just wondering how come he knows so much about Brad and Ange, by the way he spoke it looked like he knew them personally which I don’t think he does. I thought he had something to do with fashion that is why he was brought out here for our dashing Logies, So I wonder what he knows about Brad and Ange he seemed to know what he was talking about.
I’m off to the USA in August for a month, visiting New Orleans for 1 week, I just hope he is there I speak to a girl from the Make It Right Foundation in NO she said he was there earlier in the year but he is due again. Anyway we know where his house is so we’ll check that out.

Hi My name is …, I am a 22 Swedish girl doing aid work in Vietnam and have been for the past 4 years. I got involved with this via my parents who unfortunatly died in Cambodia 2 years ago. I have a deep passion of human rights and am very humbled by the Cambodian and Vietnamese people. Last year I was living in Saigon and I actually got to meet Brad and Angelina whilst they were on their visit there. They seemed like a really nice couple however…..i was saddened to know in my heart it was all an act as I sat there asking myself…what the f.u.c.k are all us free aid workers doing here when u guys come in throw some cash around, stay in your five star security protected hotel (sorry, but in vietnam NO ONE knows you) and their big entourage of security knocking locals out of the way it was f.u.c.k.i.n.g disgusting…….they didn’t sleep in the compounds or live with any of us or the vietnamese people. they didn’t join in the activities that we were welcoming too instead opting to take a huge boat out on the water for the day and come back at night for the traditional dinner they were being offered. The ONLY time i saw them do ANY kind of “dirty” work was when my oh my – the papparazzi showed up! f.u.c.k off..sorry for the language but u should be able to understand my frustration at seeing papparazzi in Vietnam….funny how they knew when to show up at the right moment of miss jole and mr pit holding a poor viet kid with a let blown off..spare me. why don’t you come here miss jolie…stop taking the kids off their parents and instead pump your billions and billions of dollars into infrastructure and new orphanagies so that these babies can stay with their parents..why do you have to take them from their culture to ruin them with hollywood…why don’t you stop your ACTING job and come and live here with us aid workers..right now im sitting in 50 degree heat with feaces and flies everywhere…but today we have band aids – if you get bitten at leat we can cover it away from the flies…you like the sound of that huh? my email is ………com if anyone intersted..thanks for reading..
Pi$$ed of in vietnam,

@guest – what a wonderful job in shitty conditions this lady is doing,i take my hat off to her and the many like her,but a big fat kudos to her for compiling this letter and setting the world straight on these two fake assholes.thanks guest for ‘the letter’,lets get this out there so mainstream media can begin to see what we all see on here!
Reply@ guest – precisely. There was a comment on this site by someone to a very similar effect. She’s an aid worker in Thailand I believe, something to do with protecting children’s rights. She said Jolie was trying to adopt from there. Her comment, like the one you posted was utterly damning. Its got to get picked up in the mainstream media sometime…
Replywe should start posting that story everywhere
ReplyHere is a story about “Beyond Borders.” In this opinion, the film may hurt aid workers.
