Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - the break-up rumors

by Sherry on September 19th, 2008

Cannes 2008: 'Kung Fu Panda' - Premiere

Several people have been commenting or emailing me, concerned about the rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie split up. People have been asking why I haven’t posted about it. Well, because if I posted every time someone said their relationship was over, every week there would be at least one “oh my god, they broke up!” post followed by a “whew, no, they’re still together” post. These rumors circulate on a near-constant basis. If you look at any tabloid magazine, one week they’re saying Brad and Angie are finished, the next week they’re saying Brad and Angie are getting married, and the week after that they’re saying that they’ve just adopted ten new kids. And then the cycle continues.

However, apparently the concern is coming from the fact that Perez Hilton reported it. Except he didn’t really - he just acknowledged that there was a strong rumor going around. And actually, it appears that the rumor of Brad and Angelina splitting came from the National Enquirer. That tabloid trash isn’t even good enough to line your bird cage, let alone good enough to believe.

And in any case, Perez then reported that Angelina Jolie’s rep has denied the break-up rumors, calling them completely untrue.

I think I know why this is so persistent right now - we haven’t seen Angelina in months, not since Cannes. People have seen Brad on the red carpet without her at his side, something that is highly unusual. But these people are forgetting that the woman gave birth to twins, is breastfeeding, and likely completely exhausted. Then again, people are also saying that Brad looks unhappy lately. I disagree. I think he looks just like any other parent of young children. I looked like that, my husband looked like that, our friends all looked like that during the first months when no one is sleeping. The man is TIRED. It happens, it’s part of it.

But when you combine Angelina’s isolation in France, Brad’s solo red carpets, and his half-asleep expressions, it’s easy to see how tabloids would cash in on it all and speculate heavily.

Don’t believe the rumors just because they’re there. Is this couple bullet-proof? Of course not, any relationship can end. However, as far as strong Hollywood couples go, I’d say that these two are among the strongest, and unless a reputable source says that it’s ended, I’m going to carry on without worrying about it!

    Hi,
    This is the first time I am writing a comment. I used to buy all of those tabloids until I found this site. You are absolutely correct, those magazines are trash!!! I read your site everyday and I am happy that you take the time to do such a great job.

    I guess I just don’t get all this stuff about this one rumor. After Shiloh, Brad did quite a few red carpets alone and the same nonesense was reported. After Shiloh and when they came back to the states, it was months until you saw her then, so why the hysteria now. I just don’t get why anyone takes the Enquirer seriously with this couple. It is like the marriage rumor that got out of hand. They did not respond to the rumor, they responded to a question and that is the only time you get answers.

    They have six small children, she is nursing and there is no reason to be “seen” as they don’t live their lives for the tabloids or paparazzi. Reading the last few posts on the former thread were so odd to me. It was a rumor that came and went so fast I did not know anything about it. I stay away from most blogs, so ignorance is bliss. People never even mentioned it and neither did Access Hollywood and apparently the Enquirer took it down right away anyway. So, why all the worry now.

    This site is usually a respite from the silliness that goes on about this couple and I thank you for being sane.

    Sherry, tysm for talking sense. I love ur site. I agree, what self-respecting man would leave a woman with 6 children, 3 of which are his!

    That would completely contradict the Brad we know and love. I am sure Angie can survive without Brad but I sense that Brad would have a hard time without her and the kids.

    Some ppl are just plain stupid!

    I was more concerned this time because NE was trying to say they have heard it from some celebrity this time not from source. Perez was telling there is a strong rumor and you know it starts suddenly like birth of twins,and then their rep in an unusualy step denied these rumors soon. it was like 4 hourse in whole starting and finishing. I thought maybe it was just some media politics or something else. I think if Brad shows up on the RC with Angie all these rumors will end for some times.all we need right now is a pic of Angie and Brad together and happy. I think Brad should be more aware of media around himself. he better keep his other concerned out of RC’s pics so people wouldn’t use those pics as confirmation for break up. I think Brad should talk alittle more about his love for Angie and he should show alittle more affectionate toward Angie on the RC or when they are out. he was more of love showing when he was with his ex wife,this is why some people say they were more happy. although brad told he was unhappy at that time but those pics even two days before seperation can’t help his statement. I think he should show alittle more love toward Angie and talks about her alittle more when he gets a chance.just my opinion.

    Thanks Sherry for this thread.

  • Sherry
    Sep 19, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    JJB - I really don’t even know what you’re talking about. 1 - Brad doesn’t owe anyone anything and doesn’t have to do a darn thing to make people happy. His job is an actor and he’s not obligated to put anyone’s mind at ease, the only people he needs to worry about are those in his family, not the rest of us.

    And 2 - More affection on the red carpet? Are you kidding me? When Brad and Angie are on the red carpet they can hardly keep their hands off each other. If they show any more affection it’s going to become R-rated.

    I’m confused as to whether you’re actually a fan or not.

  • hope
    Sep 19, 2008 at 1:24 pm

    Brad has shown more love to Angelina on the red carpet than with anyone else.I hope Brad shouldn’t feel the pressure to act a certain way to please the tabloids.He said he was staying up with the twins,its normal,so why should he hide it dj.Brad has talked about his love for Angelina alot so maybe some people have missed it.If Brad talked about his previous relationships,it didn’t help him because all those relations ended.If Brad acted a certain way in his previous relationship it didn’t help because the relationship ended.Brad has been so committed to Angelina than in any other relationship,out of the 4 days he went to promote BAR he has stayed by Angelina side in France.Brad is always with Angelina,what other relationship did he do that certainly not his last .

    Sherry

    I am fan of them for more than 3 years.and I have heard all those rumors in these past few years.

    I lurk alot in other blogs,like US weekly and some other Antie Brangelina’s blogs as well as Brangelina’s lover blog. I know what they think about them and why Tabs usually think Brad is going back to Jen. of course they are wrong. but their reason are Brad’s words and Brad’s candid pics in past and the way he used to show his affectionate.

    I found out you are more fan of Angie and you weren’t following Brad in past,but Brad used to show more affectionate toward his ex wife in public and in Candid pic not just RCs. I know their reason is this, and they took one pic and use it as a negetive thing toward them.

    Brad is where he wants to be as well as Angie. But i think there must be a way to shut these monthly rumors about break up.they should try something maybe affectionate,maybe marriage. there must be some way. they must be tired by these monthly rumors as well. I’m sorry if you felt bad about my post.thank you for your respond.

    sorry for bugging people here.i will stop posting for sometimes. will lurk though because i like your blog sherry.

    Sherry , I like your post. Thanks..Perez wants the attention his site. All of the JP news get the biggest hit at his site.

    LOL. If Angelina is photographed in public, some people say that she wants attention. If she has not been photographed in public for a long time, some people start to break-up rumors. Actually, I am happy for them because it seems that they have found some privacy in France. Brad and Angelina don’t have to prove anyting to anyone especially to paps and tabloids.

    JJB you should post if you want, but I think the general opinion of people who like Brad and Angelina is that they should just do what they do. It’s really not anyone business and I hate to tell you this but those ha8ters will always say those things. And the enquirer says that stuff not because of their affection but because Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sell………..period……….them on the cover sells, that’s why the big price for their baby pics. They are hiding away in France have been since Canes, that’s a pretty good sign they are together otherwise you would see pictures of them somewhere.

    Note too: I’ve seen pictures of Jennifer Anniston as you refer to Brad other romances…………I’ve seen pictures of her being affectionate with LOTS of people???

    want do you want brad to do? have sex with angelina in public and on red carpets? if they get married it will be a matter of weeks nee days til the tabs will be screaming divorce. try searching for past brad interviews, he talks about jolie a lot. did you see candids from paul allens villa (at cannes time) when they thought no-one could see them. hugging a lot, showing affection?

    I think what is going on here is something similar to what went on in the book, “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand. There is a critic who launches a succesfull hate campaign angainst Roark the protagonist of the book. When the two meet the critic snidely asks Roark, “What do you think of me now?” to which Roark answers that he doesn’t waste his time thinking about him. THAT IS WHAT I THINK IS GOING ON WITH ANGIE. I see little minds behind these tabloids scheming and plotting. If they could confront Angie it would probably sound like this, “So Angie, you gave 5 million to charity but then I pulled the rug out from under you by telling everyone that you are fighting with Brad. So what do you think of that?” These people either really don’t get Brad and Angie or they are the worst kinds of parasites.

  • Ligaya
    Sep 19, 2008 at 2:03 pm

    Thanks, Sherry. I was gonna say that if Angelina & Brad were any more affectionate on the RC, they’d hear a LOUD chorus of “Get a room!” All I have to do is look at pics and music videos of their RC appearances. SIZZLIN’, and I don’t mean bacon.

    Also, don’t we know that if Angelina had shown up in Venice and Toronto with Brad, she’d be accused of being a terrible mother and neglecting her kids? The h8ters knock her down every which way, especially when they say things that contradict themselves.

    And haven’t a lot of us said - and haven’t tabs/bloggers insisted - that it would be better if Angelina disappeared for a while and ‘stopped pimping her kids?’ Four months is nothing in real time, eternity in tabloid time, but that doesn’t mean we have anything to worry about. Remember that tree falling in the forest and no one seeing/hearing it fall? We don’t see/hear anything because we’re not there – and it seems like the tabs/pops have been unsuccessful in getting photos or getting dirt from the locals. That doesn’t mean Angelina’s become a recluse. We don’t see/hear anything about Johnny Depp and his family either, yet there are no outlandish rumors about them – probably because they don’t sell as many tabloids as the Jolie Pitts do.

    The National Enquirer?!? PerezHilton?!? The speed of an ‘official statement’ made me suspicious. Angelina doesn’t have a publicist, who is this mythical rep that supposedly made a statement for Angelina? Did any of this happen at all or is it just something NE made up out of thin air? PROOF, please. NAMED SOURCES, please – and the generic ‘celebrities’ don’t count. I haven’t read my Angelina alerts from yesterday, but the first time I heard of this supposed breakup was a post on a Pittwatch thread.

    Last, but not least – I’ve missed your voice, Neela. If you’d like to hear my comparison between the Toronto Intl. Film Festival and Sundance, please get my email address from Sherry, or give yours to her. I went, I saw, I ate poutine and visited the CN Tower.

    I agree with Ligaya and the other “where did this come from” and why trust gossips and tabloids. Why do you think they rented a castle with thousands of acres if not for privacy and time to be with family. This couple owes us nothing and they don’t need to be seen to satisfy anyone, fans or haters.

    I believe they don’t respond like other couples with a convinient photo op to show happiness because they live their lives for themselves, not us, as it should be. Anyway, Brad could not stop talking about his family in Toronto or Venice, so where does anyone have proof of unhappiness or problems.

    Also, if they were any more affectionate or loving (the looks are the best and we won’t discuss Brad’s favorite body part of his “other half’) on the red carpet or at award shows, they would get arrested. At award shows, it is clear they only need one chair, they are so close.

    Thanks for being up beat and positive.

    JJB I dont know you but your writing style and the way you talk about Brad’s candid photo in the past sure sound like a person who used to post as dj,who is a jen fan.Surely if you are a fan you wouldn’t want Brad to do the same thing with Angelina.Looking happy for the camera because the truth came out in the end Brad and Jen both said they were not happy.They went on holiday acting for the camera but the next day issued a statement saying they were seperating.Like Angelina said when asked why they were not married,she said they’ve done it the back way round by having kids first,that maybe it was the exhaustion,the staying up together and going through everything together that makes a relationship stronger not a piece of paper.The moment I see Brad Pitt fresh faced all the time then I’ll get worried because it means he’s letting Angelina do all the work.Brad looking like he needs some sleep is a good thing. like Angelina said he’s a hand on dad.

    Thanks sherry you said everything i wanted to say, plus i think with brad having 6 children with angie shows all the affection and love brad has for her, he did not have children with his past relationships but he obviously wanted angie as the mother of his 6 beautiful children,very sweet.sara you noticed that too,lol

    Man, they just can’t win with the tabloids. If she was seen out and about, she’d be called a neglectful mother. She’s staying low because she just had twins! They are probably adjusting to life with 2 newborns and 4 very active children. Geez! Just the thought makes me want to take a nap!

  • GrandmaA
    Sep 19, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    This is my first time to comment. I always read your blog and yes…I am an Angelina and Brad fan.
    I think Brad is really committed to Angelina and his kids (biological or adopted). It doesn’t mean that if they are not together they have already split. I think this is the time Angelina is really enjoying her time with the kids after doing so many films. Their relationship is give and take…. when Angelina is filming Brad is the kids and vise versa. I really don’t get this people who writes about this kind of gossips, what do they get when they make these news? I think the more they bash Brangelina, the more unreliable they become. That is why I don’t but tabloids anymore….Thank you

    Who breaks up when they have twins that are a few months old? Not too many people. I don’t think they have broken up.

    I do think that we always have to keep in mind that the National Enquirer may be sleezy but they have broken big stories. They get sued when they are wrong sometimes, so I don’t think you can simply dismiss it as being the National Enquirer.

    I think.. now this is just speculation… that having six children is hard, and being beautiful and even having a lot of money doesn’t make it effortless. I think for all the talk of wanting a soccer team… the reality of all these children takes a toll on parents, and I think that is true even if you are AJ and BP.

    Perhaps these rumors got started with realistic suggestions that there is strain in that relationship - real strain due to real life demands. He’s been gone. She’s hemmed in by the needs of infants and small children. That maybe be real… but break up? I don’t think so. I think they may just be adjusting.

  • Phoebe
    Sep 19, 2008 at 5:32 pm

    Thanks Sherry….actually i would only believe a break up if you post it on here, since you make sure about the credibility of news first.
    i totally agree, there are breakup rumors every week, what i don´t understand is that these rumors are the strongest after Angelina gave birth (it was the same with Shi)….what man would leave the woman who just gave birth to his child?
    as for the red carpet events i think too that Brad looked incredibly happy with his Exwife, but we know how that ended, so i don´t think looking at pics is the best way to figure out a celebs feeling. tabloids managed to get some pices which looked as if Brangelina were indeed fighting in the past, these are pics taken in unfortunate situations…..Angelina looks cold and Brad lookes tired, but HEY! who of us can smile 24/7?
    as for jjb….we are all free to tell our opinion….i didn´t see her posts as offensive. her posts are hard to read though…

  • Neela
    Sep 19, 2008 at 5:33 pm

    actually, okay. after i read that news on perez’s site yesterday, i did my own little digging and googled it. only one place picked up the story, which is the national ledger (equals to national enquirer), and in it, it referred to the national enquirer’s online claim of a split. and apparently, the national enquirer mentioned that the rumor was going around in the hollywood circle because the two haven’t been seen in public together. but then, even the national ledger said to take the news with a grain of salt as the NE’s article was very brief and didn’t go into detail.

    now, the NE may have gotten some stories right a few times, but they’ve a larger track record for inaccuracy and fabrications. it was NE that had a cover page that Brad was not Shiloh’s dad (this was when Angie was just preggers with Shi). i came across that old tripe when i was digging around about the rumor yesterday.

    as sherry said, NE is not worth the time.

  • Neela
    Sep 19, 2008 at 5:40 pm

    i think this time brad and angie refuted the rumors quickly (even though tabs have had reruns of those headlines since 2005) because for some odd reason and of all the tabs out there, NE’s claim was quickly picked up on the internet. heh, okay, i think that’s a shoddy explanation. i’m having a difficult time articulating my thoughts.

    anyway, maybe they shot it down immediately because they may have received a call from one of their concerned close friends. who knows … doesn’t matter. the two are still together, and i think they will be for a very long time.

  • Natasha
    Sep 19, 2008 at 5:42 pm

    I totally agree with you Sherry, anytime I see a magazine in a grocery that says some mess like that, I totally ignore it. The tabloids are never happy. If we were seeing her al over the place they would say she is neglecting her kids. They have nothing better to do and people when you see these covers in the grocery store just laugh at it, they are only trying to sell magazines.

  • Lois
    Sep 19, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    Was there hysteria about Brad and Angelina breaking up? I read a lot of blogs and Perez is the only one where I saw the breakup rumor. More blogs reported Brad and Angelina’s denial than the actual rumor. Also the Enquire took the story down. Considering they print lies all of the time, it really shows that even they don’t put much stock in this story.

  • Kay
    Sep 19, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    Sherry, shame on you bashing any fan on this site. we ALL have our right to an opinion, and JJB has posted on this site for years. Like me, she doesn’t have something to say about every single post like a lot of people, still, that doesn’t mean she’s not a fan. Also, just because she has some critique to give about Brad again doesn’t make her an immediate Jen fan. People, be real, and lay off.

  • Ligaya
    Sep 19, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    Kay, I’m real, and if I have a question or opinion about anyone, everyone included, I’m not going to “lay off” just because you want me to or because you say so. (Also, did anyone accuse JJB of being a Jen fan? Sorry, I must have missed it.)

    Kay, i disagree with you on this. Sherry isn’t the only one who has doubts about JJB’s motivation; at least a couple of other posters have alluded to this. If JJB means no harm, then she shouldn’t be concerned when others want clarification.

    I also take exception to your telling anyone in this community to “lay off.” I think we try to be open with our differences as well as our agreements, and respect each other whether we agree or whether we agree to disagree.

    Pittwatch is not a free-for-all and Sherry – with others’ help – won’t allow it to descend into the chaos of venomous in-fighting almost all other blogs about Angelina and Brad do. I’ve had enough of that, thank you. That’s why I’m here in this oasis of sanitly among the craziness.

    May I remind you that Sherry owns and runs this blog. We are here on her sufferance. She has more than bent over backwards to be patient and understanding. I could never do her job – I’d be exhausted and have no other life, and probably ban people left and right who piss me off.

    So, go ahead and give your input to Sherry about how you feel she’s running this blog, but remember Sherry has the final say. And if you don’t agree with how Sherry runs Pittwatch, you have the choice to leave and start your own blog.

    The tabs are just spinning tales because Brad and Angie quietly having a grand time with the family in France. :) I may not have personal knowledge of this, but I think that’s the reason we haven’t got any news about them besides from the premieres. I hope they are able to stay out of the spotlight for some more time before the whole family get bugged again.

    P.S. Oh, I forgot the part that got me quivering with indignation, how dare you cry “shame, shame” on Sherry? IMO, *You* should be ashamed of yourself for jumping to conclusions about Sherry and sitting in judgment of her. In all the years I’ve been on Pittwatch, Sherry has NEVER. EVER. BASHED. ANYONE.

  • Sarah
    Sep 19, 2008 at 7:56 pm

    Ligaya, you stated you don’t like “venomous in-fighting”, yet I found your post to be quite aggressive.

    Sherry, I am very impressed you posted the comment from Kay. In the past when I have had a difference of opinion (not with you, but with my opinion of Brad or Angelina) - you have deleted it. I’m grateful that you have opened up.

    What is a “fan”? For me, I am an interested party. I find Brad and Angelina fascinating. I find their fans fascinating. I find Sherry fascinating. So I come to this site. I honestly did not think Angie and Brad would last this long. I think their relationship is extremely complicated. There are a lot of things I like about Angie. There are other things I find troublesome about Angie, especially how some of her choices affect her children - negatively - in my opinion. I like best how Angie is so real and she lives life to the fullest. I will continue to state what I like and don’t like. That may not be a “fan”, but it is being real. To me, that makes an interesting and sincere and honest blog.

  • gena

    Why would they split. Brad made references to Angie and the kids when he was in Toronto. He seemed happy and content with his life. He had just taken the boys with him to Venice, Z to Paris and returned home after being away 2 nights! Angie is a new mother. I think the tabs just like to throw that story out there to get a rise out of everyone. Seems like they were successful.
    Brad and Angie are fine.

    Sep 19, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    LOL…Sarah, I’m actually very curious to know what facts you have to support this ‘extremely complicated’ relationship you believe them to have. Of course every relationship has it’s challenges and these two aren’t absolved from that but that’s a pretty humorous claim to make if your someone who doesn’t know them or what goes on in their life IMO. Maybe it’s just me though :)

  • Ligaya
    Sep 19, 2008 at 8:31 pm

    Fine, Sarah. You call my post aggressive. I call it forceful and assertive. We’ll have to agree to disagree. You must not have read the comments I’ve read on JJ, PH, E!, imdb boards, a gazillion newspaper gossip columns, etc. Those are what I mean as venomous. Compared to them, I think anything I said to Kay were air kisses. And I never personalized it or called Kay any names, or described her in derogatory terms.

    Also, because I *deeply* appreciate Sherry working her tail off for this blog, as well as working and taking care of her family, and still being infinitely patient with us, I don’t take it kindly when I feel she’s being beat up unfairly.

    Some light relief – does anyone know how these things are used? I think the purple wedge thingy must be the Liberator Ramp. I don’t know what a Silky looks like. Anyone, anyone?

    http://entertainment.oneindia.in/hollywood/top-stories/scoop/2008/clooney-burn-after-reading-190908.html

    New York (ANI): Actor George Clooney has started a new trend these days sex toy-craze. All thanks to his new film Burn After Reading, where Clooney plays a sex addict who totes along marital aids, the craze has sparked. The ‘marital aids’ include two items called ‘The Libera tor Ramp’ and ‘The Silky,’ both of which are sold in stores.

    Avn.com reports sales of both are on the rise thanks to the movie. “Small mentions of adult products in mainstream media can have an outsized effect on sales,” the New York Post quoted a retailer, as saying.

    Victoria (hasn’t posted lately) used to have every single one of her posts moderated due to some problem with the computer. If I’m lucky, only 1/2 of my posts are moderated, more like 3/4. That’s the way the ball bounces!

    Hi, J-P ROCK! I live in Oakland, California. It was tres, tres cool. I’ve been a total movie nut for 50 years, and movies & traveling are my passions. So film festivals are perfect, right? Well, aside from local ones in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’d only dreamed about going to film festivals like Sundance and Toronto Intl. Film Festival. The only reason my husband & I went this year was because our son, writer-director Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson), had his sophomore feature “SUGAR” screening. Ryan got raves at Sundance, and a warm reception at TIFF08 – which was three times as big as Sundance. If only we had the time and money, we’d be groupies and follow him everywhere – Vancouver, London . . .

    I always come to this site because it is a true Brad and Angie site, I have been Brad fan for 15 years and I think he finally found someone who really cares and gives back.I do not think that break up rumor is true at all, Angie said in an interview while promoting in Cannes that she would disappear for a few months and that brad will work. this is what happens when a huge celebrity moves to Europe, they are just out of spotlight, you can not see the Deeps in months also. Angie is nursing, she is breastfeeding two children and I think that Brad simply can not live without them.You can see how he is proud of his family in his eyes and he never leaves them more than two days.

    Exactly Sherry. You know I used to love coming to this site and enjoy reading the posts. But lately it´s all been lamenting about the tabloids. Tabloids are tabloids, and I think we all know it, there´s no need to repeat endlessly how trashy they are. I think we should all stop to whince and whine about the lies they print about the JP´s. Any informed person knows how tabloids work, and they don´t just make up lies about the JP´s, but about everyone else just the same. They have to. They have to sell magazines. If nothing is happening in celebrities´ lives, then they make something up. My point is, please, please let´s keep this whole “the tabloids are always lying about the JP´s, the poor JP´s, so much venom spat on them etc.” out of here. The JP´s are getting the same treatment as every other high profile celebrity. And we are all sensible and intelligent enough to know that. I wish we could just ignore it. Tabloids will remain tabloids, and that won´t change. But please let´s just stick to reliable sources and/or interviews with them, when discussing news.
    Apart from that, getting upset about tabloids is really just a waste of our energy.

    I’m behind you Christine and Ligaya. Sarah and Kay, you sound like some of the trolls i’ve come across on JJ. Speak sense please. And i have this quote that i found by someone who was actually at the Burn After Reading premiere that puts your “Brad is not affectionate enough to Angelina” claim to shame.. “He signed autographs for a long time on all manner of pics and posters, both Angelina’s and his, and get this - when he’d get to an angelina pic he’d lick his chops, and he even clutched his heart at one point at this hot pic of Angelina - and get this, groaned. The man GROANED, then said cheekily what are you trying to do to me. OMG the man is gone for his baby. lol Wowee!”

    and about people beeing “trolls” here. STOP saying this to people because they have another (maybe not 200% positive) oponion of Brangie! dear god, as long as they don´t bash, i think they have EVERY right to express their opinion! (and seriously IF they were really no Brangie fans, shouldn´t we feel sorry because they actually stick around here?) and sorry but JJ? there are thousand sof people on JJ and no one here can possibly recognise someone because of a post. and its normal that some people jump to same conclusions….i visited JJ just once and you know what i saw?! fans who bash each other constantly, even Angiefans attacked each other for no reason - it was disgusting! i never go there again. its not worth my time. but this site is, because its gorgeous, Sherry is making e terrific job! and i am really thankful that she was so understanding of me in the past.

    well, i agree it’s a fan site, but i think that everybody can say what he wants (if it’s respectful of course!). i take for example that when some people say the name of Jenifer Aniston in a comment, some other people here are really shocked or upset!!! it’s not a normal reaction, Jen was brad’s wife, they loved each other, they were happy togheter, … now brad is with angie, they build a family, they love each other and jen lives her life, so i don’t understand what people are upset…

    it’s just an example, but i post comment on this site for years and it’s something (speaking about jen and it made some “noise -” here) that often happened. so, i think we just have to be respectful and “read” what other people have to say without attack them in return.

    i love coming on this site and i think it’s really sad when there is some “disputes”.

    People with different oponion are welcome but to suggest that Brad shouldn’t look tired for the cameras because the paps will think he’s not happy,please.That Brad should act the way he was with Jen for people to believe he’s in love with Angelina.I saw a video Yesterday were Brad was talking about his marriage and it wasn’t flattering at all.

    Now Sarah is saying Angelina’s choices affect her children negatively,yet its 4 months since we saw Angelina,she has made a choice to stay with her children,putting them first but still she is accused of making bad decisions.Notice that Sarah’s only attack was Angelina’s parenting not Brad’s.brad was the one away from the family not Angelina.So sometime you wonder about people like her because to them Angelina will never do the right thing.Angelina went to Texas with Brad for 3-4months then to LA for 2 weeks,now France 4months.So all she’s done is look after her kids.How can you look at were Zahara,Maddox,Pax came from and think Angelina’s choices have affected them negatively,Surely no one is perfect and we all make mistakes but come on.I hope France will be her home for a long time.She will have some peace.I dont post often but I had to come out for this one.Thanks

    Whether Brad will go with Angie or not during RC time for Changeling doesn’t matter to me. To say that Brad and Angie should go out to RC’s so people will not say that they split is like dictating their actions just to please the public & the press. Angie is never known to depend her actions based on the dictate or opinion of other people. She is a very independent person & a very transparent one. She is not like the usual Hollywood personalities who are so conscious with their public image. Angie is not like that. She lives her life with all honesty regardless whether people accept it or not. The opinion of others doesn’t matter at all. What matters most is her FAMILY. What’s best for her family will always be the consideration in every decision she makes, whether for career matters or whatsoever. I trust Angie of her capability to balance her life because time & again she really has proven, not that she has to, how she manages everything well - life, career, kids, love. In fact, she is envied by a lot of celebrities because Angie found the balance in her life.

  • davesmomster
    Sep 20, 2008 at 7:02 am

    I agree that Angie just can’t seem to win. If she stays home with the children she has PMS and is breaking up with Brad. If she is seen out and about she doesn’t love her children and neglects them. I also agree that Brad and Angie don’t owe anyone anything other than being great actors and living their lives as they see fit. I don’t think they give a hoot what the tabs print as they are secure in their lives. When my son had twins he looked like a walking zombie for months because he, too, is a hands on Dad. I would be worried if he looked fresh and rested. He even said that he was not getting much sleep but that was okay. To me brad always looked bored to tears when on the RC with previous relationships. With Angie he always has his hand in the “default position”. Then they make out in the car on the way home. Ooh La La!

    Brad: It was the first time she wasn’t sexually attracted to me.”
    “Angie and I work together every day. Trust me.”
    He says about Angie: “my other half”.

    Break up, really?

  • kim
    Sep 20, 2008 at 7:17 am

    Please be aware that Brad and AJ do not read this post (sorry sherry) or probably any magazines that write all the rumors. I am sure there publicists do, but I doubt they are even aware so I really don’t think they are harmed by it. Their families might buy into it, but they should be use to it by now, and not listen. So in conclusion realize that your comments do not effect them but just the posters here who some times get a little too emotionally involved.
    By the by I personally like it when this site gets a little political and everyone gets into the debate. To much sugar makes me sick.

    Wait till the Changeling premiere, I’m sure Brad will not let Angie walk the red carpet by herself, he will be there. The twins will be almost 3 months by that time, either they will bring the whole family to NY or just the twins.

    First, like Sherry I was totally mad when I read that “JJB” comments (see above), and I think she cannot fool anyone in here, she really doesn’t sound like a fan! She reminds me of Life & Style, almost highjacking Brad and Angie to come and show for “some little pictures” otherwise they would keep printing the false rumours about the birth of the twins. Is JJB working for a trash tabloid when she wrote that Brad “must show (to the media) some little attention toward Angie, that he must talk (to media) about Angie…”??? I think it’s quite weird and laughable, when I on the other hand, I am very happy that Angie could keep some privacy with her newborn twins! Actually I also believe that JJB is a Jen Fan because she sounds like a Jen Fan as I sound very team Jolie. he he.

    All joking aside, IMO Angie and Brad deliberately hide themselves from the media attention from the day when two french paparazzi managed to get into their garden, only few feet from their doorstep dressed in camouflage. I am French, and I’ve always said that if Brad and Angie had chosen to give birth in France for some privacy they might be disappointed because french paparrazzi are fierce and fearless. Do you guys know that MOST of paparazzi agencies in LA, at least the biggest like the kinds of TMZ, *17online and so on are ALL run by french people??? The worse thing is that after the paparazzi’s intrusion, the event was aired everywhere, with the Head of the Gendarmerie of the area (which is maybe the equivalent of the Head of Security of a huge county, sort of, I’m sorry) telling the French that “celebrities” are the least of their preoccupation. I’m not kidding, I have heard that all day long on national TVs. It’s shameful, and it’s even more shameful when few weeks later in Corsica, the house of Christian Clavier a very well-known french actor was invaded by peaceful demonstrators who had no intention to steal 10 million dollar photos of newborn twins, yet the Head of the Police Departement this time was fired straightaway because this actor is a close friend to the French President. I think that Brad and Angie have just learned to stay quite the hard way.

    Brad and Angie are spending time with their kids
    is there somthing wrong with that, the tabs sale may have slow down so they need to get them back on the cover. Starting rumors about break up is a sure way to get everyone’s paying attention again. Angie had said in interview she wanted to take a giant amount of time off and brad is looking to work I have the mag. Brad would be a bad dad if he did not help her with the kids, no matter how many nanny you have, the kid respond too thier parents better and they are more healther,they plan every move give them some time to get back in the public eye, we all miss seeing them togather. I just have so much faith in them,and their relationship.I believe they can weather any storm, the tabs always ues their own words aginst them. He look tired, six kid demand alot a time,as you fall asleep one of them weak up. Just pray that their love last till the end of time.

    Hi Sherry and all JP fans out there,
    I don’t even look at grocery tabs anymore. They are all too negative and desperate. They cannot sell their subscription if Brad or Angie is not on the cover or “My Dinner with Brad,” type of cover. Read “Laineygossip.com” a week ago about Brad’s trip to Toronto festival and you will see how quickly he made and trip and flew back to France to be with his loved ones. I used to read PerezH but I stopped a year ago since the comments and articles are so vulgar and offensive. He wants to get the hits which are dying on his site. Well, October will be the premier of Angie’s next movie so the tabs will think of something bad about that too. Pathetic! I’m sure Brad and Angie are enjoying their stay in France with more r and r.

    @Lucy, you’re right. I think they’ll weather any problems that come their way. Apart from being one of the most popular people in the planet, they are just like any other couple. They’re only human. They’re not perfect, but if they love each other enough, then, they should be able to work out anything. They’re also older, meaning they’ve progressed or evolved from how they used to be, and now they also have children. So, they should be given the benefit of the doubt of being able to commit to each other through and through.

    Well, I bought the National Enquirer just to read the Sarah Palin articles. I mean, the NE did bust out that John Edwards story, right? But I discounted everything about Brad and Angie. They always trade off on who’s working, and it’s Brad’s turn to work and promote his movies, while Angie is hanging with the kids and the new babies. Another tabloid had an article about Brad blowing off a dinner reunion with JA in Toronto. Puh-leeze! I don’t buy that one either. They lead separate lives, and JA has shown she is more interested in building a career than a family. People have different priorities, and sometimes that leads to the end of relationships. It is clear that Brad and Angie have made a commitment to each other, and to all their children. I sincerely hope they are enjoying the time together in privacy and peace.

    The Tree Of Life
    separator
    Written & Directed by: Terrence Malick
    Cast: Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain
    Producers: William Pohlad, Sarah Green, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Grant Hill

    Our picture is a cosmic epic, a hymn to life.

    We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, Jack, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the world’s way, of putting oneself first. Each parent contends for his allegiance, and Jack must reconcile their claims. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth.

    Framing this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part. When he sees all that has gone into our world’s preparation, each thing appears a miracle — precious, incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life.

    The story ends in hope, acknowledging the beauty and joy in all things, in the everyday and above all in the family — our first school — the only place that most of us learn the truth about the world and ourselves, or discover life’s single most important lesson, of unselfish love.

    Break up? no way.

    yeah there might be an argument,there can be even one big fight,there can be even living in two different room for about 2 days or 2 weeks,but break up,no way. every relationship has it’s own up and down,and i’m sure there is no difference for Brad and Angelina at this,they have a hard time of course and we don’t need tabs to tell us that,for god’s sake they have twins AND 4 energetic kids,do you think it is heaven for them?

    Angie is hormonal and both of them are not getting much of sleep,when you are tired,you might say something,you wouldn’t say if you weren’t tired,then there can be an argument and even fight or not talking for a sometimes.but break up???

    Brad has a loving family,he has sister and brother who have married their love ones and have kids with them,divorce doesn’t have any place in their life,he has a parent who have been married for near 50 years,so he knows exactly what loving family and kids means! he became father when he was 40,so he knew exactly what he wanted at that time and what he didn’t want.

    Angie is a child of divorce,go and look at her pics when she was a kid,you harly find a pic with her smiling or not holding tight to her father,like she doesn’t want to let go of him. she and her mother and her brother were/has been suffering from this divorce through their lives. and i’m sure this is the last thing she wants to give to her kids.

    Brad has seen Angie and her father’s relationship,and don’t you think it is also the last thing he wants to have.

    belive me,if they EVER break up(lets be realistic,we are talking about HW,over 80% of every single relationship end up in divorce and break up),you can be sure,that’s the last way they had,and they came to this dicision together and they have tried all the single way to make their relationship work,but they failed. I can’t see any break up in near future,not with 6 kids,two just 2 months old.

    these rumors has been out ever since they have began their relationship,we used to get pics every day as a proof for them to be wrong,but now we don’t.this is the only difference. use People/Hello’s pics,don’t forget they have been taken in less than 2 months ago.

    Although I would love to see them get married, I don’t know that I would put my money on this couple lasting permanently. I wish they would and hope they do. But, Angelina gets bored and I would imagine that she is not the easiest person to live with. However, they both look like they have grown up a whole lot this past 3 years and once they get past this early babyhood stage of the twins, I think they will feel much more energized. While we all desperately want to see Angelina and the twins, I think they got this huge French place for the main purpose of HIDING away from all the press, which has gotten INSANE in our country. I think we’ll start seeing all of them together more this Fall. And, I really hope that we see a wedding soon too.

    You are so right when you say Angie lives a transparent life. I think Angie may have regrets about choices she made in her past but I believe and I think she does too that she has done nothing to be ashamed of. Always a good thing when a person chooses to live out loud as Angie does.

    I just love this blog. :) This is one of the few places on the web where you find a group of mostly sane people, being honest and realistic. Not using a few pictures to tell peoples biographies. Forget the haters, just ignore them and they will realize they don’t belong here. As for the tabloids, sometimes I tell myself that I don’t think anybody could be ignorant enough to attach any credence to their baselessly outrageous allegations. But again, if people didn’t, they will be out of business by now. This blog and its fans are great. The “weeds” can’t grow here. They can’t take the honesty that goes on here!!! :)

    I think that the fact that Brad just contributed BIG bucks to support gay marriage, and then stated that he and Angie are not getting married until all gay people have the right is a testament to his commitment to that relationship. Because of Angie’s previous supposed “walks on the wildside” I would guess that Angie is the partner who STRONGLY supports gay marriage. It seems that he’s trying to say to Angie and the world- that he loves her, he’s WITH her and he would marry her in a HEARTBEAT! What else could he do to show how much he wants to be with her?

    I am so looking forward to see them and although I love they are enjoying their privacy, I miss them. If you want to see how Brad spoke about his “other half “, go to Access Hollywood under Brad Pitt and there is video from TIFF press conference, he looks so charming while talking about it!!

    @ligaya:
    i´ll look it up. no problem, you´re busy, thanks very much!
    its really sweet! i don´t care if Brad and Angie marry, they are happy together and thats all that counts.

    @Lennie:
    believe it or not, there are people who dislike Angie and are NO Jennifer Fans. i HATE it every time there is something negative about Angie going on, its always blamed on Jen and her fans! know what?! i am a fan of both Jen and Angie! and its a shame that some people who can´t let go try to ruin the life of these two women - who i am sure, have absolutely NO bad feelings about each other! Jen congratulated them on the birth of the kids, she even said in a Vanity Fair article (online) that she was happy that Angie seemed so committed and in love with Brad and made him happy! Angie herself said that Jen was Brads best friend! he had lunch with Jen in Toronto and Angie seemed to be fine with it, otherwise he would not have had it…..i could go on and on…
    OF COURSE there are many Jenfans who are really nasty and disusting, but its the SAME with some Angiefans! i love this site here, because its nice and Sherry makes sure no immature and nasty comments like on JJ happen here!
    i don´t know IF jjb is a real Angie fan or not and i do not want to defend her (she can do that very well herself) but i think its a pity that she stopped posting because she was called a “troll” by some on here, who do not want to accept that Angie and Brad are not 100% perfect. beeing a fan does not mean to idolise someones idol. Brangelina are humans with faults and weakness - and they should be accepted. i read jjbs post and call me naive i didn´t think it was offensive. Sherry cleared it up, she was nice and made her point.
    btw jjb is not the first person who stopped posting because she was attacked. there is another lady on here (i forgot her name though) who stopped, too, because she was a fan of both Jen and Angie and got very agressive posts adressed to her. i don´t think this is was Sherry intended with this site.

    sorry for the outburst, but i just had to say it.

    L. Colby Chandler, thanks for another reminder of the big W spread. Lucky New Yorkers - October 4 will be here in an instant, and we can look forward to seeing Angelina everywhere – magazines, tv interviews, Wanted reviews. She’s going to be a welcome sight – she needed family time and we missed her mightily. (Although, I hope she’s absent from the limelight more and more – for family time, her own peace, and to escape the overexposure the tabs/paps are forcing on her which is bad for her art & craft.)

    First of — let’s think about this rationally. Both are parents of six small children, two of them are babies, someone has to stay home because both are committed to the family and the children (let’s not forget that their home base right now is in France — quite a distance away!). Both have said repeatedly that because of their mutual desire to have a large family, they support each other … I don’t think anymore has to be said…

    Second — both are savvy people and are keen to the fact that negative publicity is better than no publicity. Both have huge movies coming out soon and would serve both in a positive manner if both their names are out to remain in the celebrity business radar. They do have to maintain their careers so that they can support the family and their multiple charities.

    NE as scummy as that publication is — is in the tabloid business and to keep circulation going and money flowing — they gotta go for the negative and celebrity stuff…

    Just a word of caution, long time fan names are being hijacked and used by haters/trolls. It happens all the time at JJs and could be happening here. Simply recognizing a name doesn’t mean it’s the same poster.

    That said, I love what Sherry has done for this place and ITA with her stance on such rumors. Cannot wait for Changeling, BB and the new W mag.

    I am not worried, I mean, they just had twins and they only separated for a couple of days because Brad was promoting Bar, he said that she was his “other half”…Just watch the media frenzy when they arrive from France to the Changeling premiere….gosh, I cannot wait. I feel kind of guilty saying this because I want them to have a normal life with their children, without Paps screaming at them or at their kids but I cannot help it, I love looking at the pictures of this family…there is real love, and they both have matured, they are committed…remember that they have both say that they usually argue about politics…so relax people…They have lots of help and they knew what they were getting into the moment they decided to have a family…yes, they are tired and perhaps some days stressed but they love everything that is happening to them.

    I don’t think Brad would have been happy just having 2 kids.

    Don’t believe anything that comes from the tabs…Angie and Brad don’t read that.

    BTW…Did you guys read the blog entry Brad wrote at Vanity Fair?

    neil:
    Angie said in an interview that she has no regrets for previous experiences. She does not live her life like that. She moves forward and does not look back. That is what I like about her. I think all that she has done in the past have made her the person she is today. She does not apologize to no one for living her life.

    tabloids’s first priority is to sell , and anything, real or fake, written about this power couple will guarantee that. The birth of the twins being practically old news, what can desperate-to-sell-tabloids create as attention grabbing headline ? their divorce , of course. Their splitting up came up in 2006. 2007 and now 2008. Pathetic, if you asked me …
