Brad Pitt will Burn After Reading in Venice
Awesome! Here’s some more good news for likely Brad Pitt red carpet appearances - The Coen brothers’ film Burn After Reading is set to open the Venice Film Festival!
The spy comedy stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and John Malkovich - a stellar cast for sure.
I can’t wait to see more red carpet appearances, not to mention the hilarious mayhem that always seems to happen when you get Brad Pitt and George Clooney together in one place.
It really seems like it’s shaping up to be a great summer ahead for seeing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the red carpet!
(That photo is for all the fans who like to look at Brad Pitt’s butt. Ahem. You’re welcome.)

Just thought of this - didn’t Brad win Best Actor playing Jesse James (AOJJBTCRF) at last year’s Venice Film Festival? It’s a great honor to be the opening night film.

Looks like the happy couple will be spending a lot of time in Europe this summer. hum… wonder if that could be the birth place of the newest member of the Jolie-Pitt. France was the first rummer to go around. Very nice monday butt shot.

You have a large audience here and I would like to see you spend some more time focusing on the issues that Brad and Angelina work so hard to bring to light. I am sure it would mean a lot to them to know their efforts were helping spread news in this way. I am sure we all enjoy pictures and updates on what they are doing (especially those pics of Brad’s butt) but maybe you could think about mixing in some other information. For example, a child dies of Malaria every thirty seconds. There are 12 million AIDS orphans in Africa. Young girls in Afghanistan are being sold by their fathers as debt payment to drug dealers. Did you know that girls in South Africa miss up to 4 days a school a month because they lack sanitary napkins/tampons? There are many problems in the US as well, for example 40% of children in the Bronx live in poverty.
And, did you know that the war in the Congo is paid for in large part by coltan, a mineral ore that when refined is a necessary component of cell phones? I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Blood Diamonds from Sierra Leone but have you heard of the blood cell phone component that is part of what the war is being fought over in which millions have been killed and the endangered mountain gorillas have been murdered?
It would not take a lot of effort to make some real positive changes for our fellow humanity and that is clearly something that Brad and Angelina spend so much time and energy trying to bring to light.

*sexyback* again ;D
HHmm Sherry are you sure theyll go to all these red carpets. They said that the kids are more important and Angie is pregnant. I would guess that they leave some events out… but lets see, it would be nice to see them of course

Good news.
I was waiting for this movie to come. A real good Brad Pitt comedy would be a great inspiration to me.

Thanks Sherry.
I don’t know if Angie would be with him if she just delivered (August), unless of course she delivers in June/July! *shrugs* Anyway we have to wait and see.
Andrea share the *fan* will you!! Nice view for a muggy Monday.
I also think that answers part of the “brief or boxes” question. If it was briefs I think we would have seen the outline in that shot….No? ;)

Oh my, even pictures where you can’t see his face well makes my heart melt. He he he. Now that’s quite a few movies to look forward too. Isn’t the Venice Festival right around the same time as Venice? I seem to remember the pics from the events coming in shortly one after the other. Well, you’re right Kim, it’s likely they’ll be in Europe during the summer. Wonder if the baby(ies) will be born there too?

Wow it really is like last year all over again! :) Cannes and now Venice, wonderful news! One of the nicest things about a new movie opening are definitely all the new interviews. I’ve missed hearing Brad and Angie talk for awhile; it seems a long time since either of them had a new film out. And maybe by September the littlest Jolie-Pitt will have arrived!

Off topic: I checked Cotswold, England. A very nice place for the family to settle down temporarily away from the papz, looks really so peaceful & quiet & the beauty of it all it is breathtaking.
Cannes & Venice are back to back celebrations so Angie can still accompany Brad to the occasion.I have a feeling the new baby will be born in Europe.I miss seeing the whole family. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

Sherry,
I am sorry for your lose last night. I hope you did cry too much, as you still have another one to come. Unless you guys can pull out a miracle, I have my fingers crossed for you. Sorry I’m a Leaf fan can’t be too sympathetic.

Well that settles it for ME, France it is. That means the family will be there for the next 6 months at least. If I am not mistaken a new France school term starts soon, (don’t the kids go to school in the summer in France? Three terms with 3 weeks off in between each). I would bet we will see lots of dropping off at school pics along with all the red carpet pics.

I believe Cannes is in MaY and Venice is in August. I hope they have a wonderful break if they are really there already.
And E’ news is as reliable as Star and the rest; they keep guessing and dropping unsourced quotes until they get something right.
In our eagerness for news we forget the other times (95%) that they misrepresented the “truth”. EG: How many times did most of them report Angie was pregnant after Shiloh, before they finally got it right.
I vote we wait to see what unfolds, it will in the ends. It always does. Then the ‘news’ reporting just continues as if nothing happened.

“Then the ‘news’ reporting just continues as if nothing happened.”
LOL, that’s very true! I noticed that most of the magazines have dropped the twins angle lately, but one of them (which shall remain nameless) is persisting: they casually mention she’s expecting twins in every article as though it’s well known fact. But should the baby arrive all on its lonesome, I imagine they’ll continue calmly onwards, reporting the birth as though nothing had happened. Makes me smile.

News from France!? This rumor seems believable because it’s so detailed. But then detailed rumors have fallen apart before. Weren’t there rumors last year & this year that the Jolie-Pitts were marrying on this yacht?
E!, ET, Access Hollywood, Insider, Extra & Daily 10 seeem a bit better than the tabloids & bloggers - but they just repeat rumors without fact-checking, unlike People magazine. Someone posted a while ago that E! has an anti-Angelina bias. I know that’s true for 2 of their bloggers - Ted Casablanca & a woman whose name I’ve forgotten.
Then there was that whole Golden Globe encounter between Angelina & Ryan Seacrest while Marcheline was dying. Angelina might have just been trying to hold it together without screaming. The NY Times & Washington Post severely criticized Angelina - of course neither of them had the decency to let their readers know why Angie wasn’t at her best.
I’ll wait for confirmation from more reliable sources.

Blunt, Pitt on ‘Make a Difference’ List
Tuesday, Apr 29, 2008 @07:42am CST
What do Missourians Matt Blunt and Brad Pitt have in common? Both have landed on a list of influential leaders.
The Southern Business and Development Magazine named the governor and Pitt to its list of the ten people who have made a difference.
The magazine says Blunt was named for helping to improve Missouri’s economy, while Pitt was honored for efforts in rebuilding New Orleans.

Shesaid, your suggestion is intriguing. Your knowledge of the facts is impressive. This is an entertainment site so I don’t know who’d be interested, and sometimes people have information fatigue – they just want to vege out. I think this is why A Mighty Heart & other movies dealing with the war on terror & Iraq weren’t as successful as they should have been.
I’m interested, especially if the information is tied in a timely way to Brad & Angie’s humanitarian & philanthropic work. For example, around the time the Springfield fund was announced, we could have asked these questions: why are those kids’ families so poor? (my guess is the coal mines closed just like the auto/steel factories closed in Detroit), are there any efforts to bring industry/business into the area for jobs?, are the unemployed being trained to do anything else? Is there anybody looking out for the folks who’ve fallen from the safety net? I don’t know my Ozarks from my Appalachian Mountains, but I think handicrafts like baskets, chairs, etc. fetch a good price. The idea is that teaching a wo/man how to fish is better for them in the long run, instead of just giving them fish.
Katrina – there are so many details to know, like those who’ve lost their homes still having to pay their mortgage AND their rent where they’re staying now. Ronald Lewis, resident & musician: “They say we’re dumb, illiterate, poor people. They chose to put those labels on us. But this is a blue-collar community. We bought houses, raised families, came back…***Two years after the storm, only about **one-third** of those residents approved for their “Road Home” awards from the Louisiana Recovery Authority have received payments***… “

Great news for the film and the Jolie-Pitt’s family.
I’m happy for them & us. Maybe the world will finally catch on to what we’ve known forever.
