  Yes that “that little thing” is the reason we all need to look at our environment and our ways AND CHANGE any way possible. Please, PLEASE PLEASE see the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” to learn more about why building our homes & any development needs to take sustainable green into consideration. Our children are to inherit this earth, and it would be great to say that WE WOKE UP IN TIME so they can live on this beautiful planet in a way that brings health to them. We are truly blessed to have people with the microphones talking about these serious matters. Thank you Brangelina! May your work continue to be blessed with good fortune and your family life settled into happiness.

  Coming out of lurkdom to make my opinions known.

  Listening to Brad Pitt talk to Ann Curry on TODAY, I felt very humbled by this very handsome man, a great actor, and a rich one, who has now, because of many reasons, not just Angelina Jolie, is looking at the world through different eyes.

  I visit other sites, and it saddens me to read how people are reacting to his appearance. They are criticizing him, accusing him of following in Angie’s footsteps and that this is the only reason he now shows concern for others less fortunate. As for his appearance, they call him “dirty”, needing a haircut, and needs to get new clothes. What has that got to do with what he had to say?

  I am not his critic, so in listenting to him, I found him to be articulate in the needs of the people of NO; quite knowledgeable (sp) when it comes to the architecture of NO, and how to accomplish both building affordable homes and trying to keep the charm of NO alive. Brad has given a lot of thought to this project, and it showed in this interview. BTW, my roots are in Louisiana, and I have lots of relatives all over the state, including NO.

  I know that a lot of people only notice what he says about his family, his children, but I heard a lot more than just a father talking about his children. He is concerned with their future, and what our carelessness at this point could affect their lives. It is very obvious that Brad adores his children, but it is sad that people, even those who are fans, only hear what he has to say about his family instead of what he is really trying to say. Brad Pitt has a mission. Listen to him. My wish is that he will accomplish his dreams.

  Here, I will say something that others may not find acceptable. I do wish that BOTH Angelina and Brad would appear together to talk about their efforts to help others, be it here in the US, or Africa, or Cambodia, or wherever. Perhaps their appearance together would shut some of their critics up. So far, Angelina has stated that they are committed to their family, to being parents, but she has said little about being committed to one another. And yes, there is a difference between agreeing to be parents, and being parents very much in love with not only their children, but with one another.

  I thoroughly enjoyed watching Brad on the TODAY show, and of course, I TiVo’ed it, so I do have it on tape now.

  These two people are giving so much of themselves to help others, and all their critics can see is poor little JA, who was left by Brad. Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against JA, and I do wish her happiness, just as I wish Brad and Angelina happiness, and yes, marriage. It DOES make a difference when you have children. Perhaps in time, people will begin to accept Brad and Angelina for the very special persons they truly are.

  Okay, I’m outta here, and one year older since I had a birthday this past Sunday. Yuck, I’m finally 72 years old, and that’s ancient.

  You know, I read a few comments on other websites as well. People talking about him buying new clothes and his hair. Good grief, the man is trying to help people in a devastated area hit hard by a natural disaster. What’s he supposed to wear, an Armani suit to go look at all of this. Oh, let me backtrack, then people would say he’s too “hollywood.” Give me a break. The man is being real and realistic. People who need help down there care about what he has to say about their situation. If more folks used common sense, thank goodness this site exists, they would see the big picture instead of “clothes” and “hair.” He looked more than fine to me in my opinion. At least he’s a celebrity out there trying to do something, not just “strike a pose for the camera.” Believe me, he knows how to keep everything in perspective. There’s a time for Red Carpets, then, if you’re multi-dimensional like Brad and Angelina, there’s a time to be real and do what you gotta do whether it’s “glamorous” or not in some people’s opinion.

  What Carolyn said!!
  Brad is a hot man in a devastated area when he visited new orleans.
  C’mon! ‘dirty’ guy is always hot for me. much much hotter than those who always try to look so metrosexual.
  we discussed about this alot. and i don’t think we should be unhappy with those narrow minded people’s comments.
  when brangelina visited the third world country to help these in needs, people start yelling something like: “why did they go there? why don’t start from the US. hell-oooo! NO is in trouble!” blah blah blah!
  and now that he’s doing something for his own country, they seemed lost something to critizise, and start to take how his looked to be commented for. soooo silly!!
  are they well educated or what?

  Anhriette - I hope they never do an interview together,even if its to talk about their charities. To me actions speak LOUDER than words. Every thing they are doing rite now tells me they are in a committed relationship,and not just for the children. People keep forgetting that Angie was content in raising Maddox and her future children by herself… She did not need Brad, so why would their relationship be just for the kids.

  Just like this interview where the main focus was the rebuilding of NO, all the media picked up on was his joy of being a father. Most people missed the message. Same thing happened after Angie interview with AC. all the media spoke about was that Zee was jelous of Shiloh and that they plan on adopting their next child.Therefore if they did an interview together, all that the media and others would focus on would be thier relationship.

  Sorry for the LAP

  THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE SO SORRY IN ADVANCE…..

  Ahri, I hope your birthday was a blast, and its nice to hear from you. I’m more a lurker here anymore, and so it’s nice to see names I know when I pop through.

  I look at who Angelina is, and also who Brad is, and I think its quite safe to say that they wouldn’t be together ONLY for the children. There were way to many options for them such as allowing Brad to be a “big brother/uncle” type to Maddox without them having to become a couple if that’s not who they wanted to be with. I think Angelina trusted him enough with her child to let him in Maddox’s life in another capcity other than his father.

  To many times Angelina has said in interviews going back before MAMSThey are each way to romantic and , sexual to be in as serious of a relationship and the only reason being for the kids. I just don’t view them as the type to settle for less than what seems to be an important part of each others makeup. I think these are two people who love each other deeply, and are committed to each other as lovers, best friends, and parents.

  In the PEOPLE mag that showed the first pic’s of Shiloh, and the front cover with the OBVIOUSLY head over heels Angelina looking at Brad, Marcheline Bertrand (Angelina’s mother) says of them “Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way.” Angelina’s brother said “This won’t come as a surprise, but I’ve obviously seen my sister since her first year in this world, and to see her with her three childrend and Brad, I’ve never seen her happier.”

  Both Brad & Angelina were so “out there” with their respective husbands, wifes, lovers in the past. They were on display at every turn for genuine, as well as disengenuis reasons, and the public ate it up, and then ate them alive because of it. I sincerely believe that Brad & Angelina have decided that what they have together is not for public consumption, and I agree. I don’t think we can gauge their lack of public togetherness as a negative espeically when we know how all the PDA in the world didn’t keep their past relationships together.

  There’s nothing I can cull from past interviews given by Brad Pitt where he can speak in generalities about what he wanted from someone where love is concerned since he was married whenever the subject came up, but for Angelina, these are three very telling instances where she makes it very clear that she’s not a woman who would be satisfied with someone who was only their for the purpose of her child/ren. She wanted a love of a lifetime but wasn’t sure she’d get it, and at one point it seems like she just had given up on the possibility. She chose to have lovers whom she DIDN’T bring into her son’s life, but they definitly were there for “her needs”, and that’s something that I suspect she really wasn’t satisfied with, but would have continued with if she and Brad hadn’t fallen for one another.

  WashingtonPost June 2004

  she talked about wanting to adopt siblings for son Maddox, 3, whom she adopted from Cambodia.
  “I don’t know when. I don’t know how many children,” she told us. “I could realize at three [kids] that I can only handle three as a single mother. I might be fortunate to fall in love and get married and realize that, with the help of a partner, I could adopt more.”

  Reader Digest Nov 2004

  RD: Is there anything you haven’t done that you’d like to do?
  AJ: I’m sure I will live a life of great adventure. I will help where I can. The one thing I am not sure of is if I will do it alone. I would like to believe that I’m going to share my life with somebody, one day. There’s something bittersweet when you wake up in the middle of the night, or something amazing happens- your son walks for the first time-and you don’t have that other person who’s going to remember that forever with you. That’s kind of the one sadness. But if I only get one great love in my life, him being my son, I’ll take him.

  RD: And if you get another love, what will he be like?
  AJ: The kind of man I could be with one day would have to be an amazing father, compassionate, strong, independent individual. I want somebody who demands I be better than what I am today. I don’t have that with anyone in my life except my son. My son somehow thinks I can do everything.

  Today Show w/Anne Curry June 2005

  Curry: How much did you draw on your own life to do this film?

  Jolie: I think for everybody, especially for every woman, we’ve had a moment where you’re lying in bed and you’re thinking about the person next to you, and you think, “You have no idea who I am.”

  Jolie says both her own husbands were wonderful men. Still, she says, she could personally identify with what Jane Smith was going through.

  Jolie: There was something missing … that we didn’t have the same value for how we wanted to live our lives, what we wanted to do with our lives — if we wanted to be of use to others, in what ways. We didn’t have the same goals. And that, at the end of the day, as much as you can have fun with them, you can have great sex with somebody, you can have all that stuff, [but] if you don’t wake up with a common purpose and a dream to live a similar legacy, then it’s not going to work. It didn’t for me.

  So, this film also came at a time where I’ve been analyzing what that is. And I know now what it would need to be in order to be married again.

  Curry: So, it did teach you something.

  Jolie: Yeah, yeah.

  Curry: Something maybe changed a little bit of what may be possible in that area for you.

  Jolie: Yeah, and it certainly made me think what a nice thing it would be to have a teammate.

  Quad Q,

  I have no idea what LAP stands for, but actually, I had already thought about it myself. I can admit when I was wrong. Thank you for pointing it out to me, but I had already realized everything that you stated in your post.

  JPF - Wow that was some slice of history! Thanks for that background. I’m always amazed at AJ’s common sense, and the transformation she’s made with BP and Z (through MMS) and now turning 31 and S…she’s settled, grounding into what she loves to do in this world and has a man with a good heart to stand by her…makes everything feel alive and possible!

  I just watched a Biography of Angelina Jolie on the Biography Chanel, going back to when she was little. They spoke of her love for her brother from the time she was little, and actually show the entire family in a very happy scenario. They aren’t shy about stating Angie’s faults, which no, I am not going to post, and how she has changed. They also talk about Jon Voight’s faults and how he hurt the family. Through it all, I think their main objective is to allow the viewer to see what a unique and special person Angelina Jolie has been throughout her entire life. It shows her vulnerabilities, her fears, her loves and the change that Maddox made in her life. It is a great bio in that no one is blamed. Facts are stated as they happened, and it is left up to the viewers to decide for themselves what they are getting out of it. I, for one, see people who are very human; making mistakes; expressing their sorrow; expressing their loves; and finally, I see them all as being very human and I see Angelina as a one of a kind woman, much like Jackie O and Princess Di, and let’s not leave out Audrey Hepburn.

  Quad Q,

  When I mentioned that I would like to see Angie and Brad together, I meant I would like to hear them in a controlled environment, much like the Anderson Cooper or Ann Curry interviews - in the confines of a studio set - a closed studio set. However, you made a point in that people, even their fans, would only hear what they wanted to hear, and see what they were wearing. I still would like to see them together, stating their intentions for their humanitarian work, but I do realize that being together would only make the entire interview/guest appearance/or whatever quite pointless. The detracters would be critiquing their appearance, and their fans, not all of them, just a few, would be listening to him mention her name, and vice versa and their purpose would be forgotten.

  JFP,

  You said it like it is. I’d like to do the same, but there is another person on here that I know does not like to reveal everything she feels for fear of being criticized, or in one or two cases, worse than just being criticized.

  To make my viewpoint clear - I am a huge Brad and Angelina fan. I love them and the family they are bringing together with love and gentleness, HOWEVER, they are humans, and like all the rest of us, they do make mistakes, albeit minor ones, but they are not perfect. I’ll take their “perfection” any day, because both of them are trying so hard to help those less fortunate, and most importantly, they are doing it together. May God Bless them all.

  Anhri

  Going back to lurking.
