BrangelinaFans telling it like it is! Way to go!
At the risk of stirring up some stuff I don’t generally like to stir, GossipFan at BrangelinaFans wrote a very eloquent article yesterday about the “nuttiness” of some “fans” (and that puts it mildly):
In the roughly 8 months of my paying closer attention to Brad and Angelina as a couple, I have witnessed the development on the internet of some trollish behavior that would make a psychiatrist a millionaire in writing about this topic. It almost makes me ashamed to be a woman because these people who initiate and engage in hateful diatribes against perfect strangers are doing so because they are way too emotionally INVESTED in what they perceive as themselves being victimized by the private actions of Brad and Angelina. Overwhelmingly, many of these haters are fans of Brad’s ex-wife and they are on a self-appointed mission to destroy Brad and Angelina’s reputations on popular internet communities where they spew their venom with despicable name calling and race baiting insults! No wonder Ms. Aniston doesn’t want these people’s sympathies! And because the lives of these celebrities are not being played out as their nightmares design, they continue the hate and up the ante of the vile and they seek out new places to smear their crap.
I believe that JA has become the Patron Saint of all people who have been jilted, much to her dismay, I am sure - and her “followers” are on a mission to tear down what they believe to be the symbol of their pain. I might be wrong though… ;) LOL
Then GossipFan goes on in the same article to talk about the insanity of the paparazzi and how we are all to blame for the supply and demand of these pictures:
In the end, if the public, ie. me and you, don’t create the demand for such pictures and don’t buy the tabloids, then there would not be much money made for the paparrazzi to get from publishers, and that is the main motivator of the pap’s intrusive behaviors and attitudes. The buck really does stop at us, but are we willing to, and are celebrities interested in no longer being in the spotlight?
It’s all a vicious circle, there’s really no particular blame, we all are to blame: Media/Publishers/PR, Paparazzi, Celebrities and Janet Q Fan.
Very well said, GossipFan - thanks for broaching a couple of really difficult subjects!

Thanks Brangelina fan, I totally agree with you. The paparrazzi always say they are doing their job by photographing her, I Did not see them in Dafur, Sierra Leone and all those other countries that she has been to. It is only the legit news agencies that go there, so that makes me come to the conclusion that they are not taking her picture to inform me what she is doing, they are doing just for the money shot.
I am sure she will not mind them taking her pictures in Paris and Namibia, if they will take their lazy asses to Dafur, now that will be the money shot.

I couldn’t agree more with the BrangelinaFan contributor. As I wrote on another (thread? message board? sigh. . .internet vocabulary is more than weak), those sorts of diatribes wear me out. I’m so tired of reading them and I do believe there is a desire to destroy reputations in all of it. I just read a brief article on another website by a supposed “journalist” about how Brad’s ex is making fun of him for being controlled by Angelina. These sorts of comments are reprehensible because no one is held accountable. If it’s later proven wrong they just shrug their shoulders as if to say, “So, I was wrong.” I don’t know how they sleep at night.

Angelina and Brad must have concieved thier now newborn girl Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt back about the middle of August 2005. I just read an article from back then stating that Brads divorce from Jen was final in mid August as per a judges signature, but that it was only thier business asscociations as man & wife that were not finalized until October. That means that the child was concieved AFTER (or in celebration of?)the divorce papers being signed by a judge and was officially FINAL.
For some reason I felt the need to post this. :s

It is sad how angry and hateful folks can be. Jen fans attack Brad for cheating andleaving Jen. I don’t know about you all but I wasn’t in there marriage, I wasn’t with them behind closed doors. Jen and Brad’s marriage was never solid, many of the marriages Hollywood or not break up. I say never solid because if it was nothing could’ve come between them. Take it froma women who had her husband cheat, no one can take from you what is truly yours. Anyways, I have learned that the person doing most or all of the talking(Jen) usually is the one doing the lying. Jen showed her true weak character in the way she dealt with her and Brad’s splitt. I am ashamed for her. one word IMMATURE.

In every marriage split, “it always takes two to tango.” Brad and Jen’s was never solid. It’s “kaput.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t fallen madly inlove with gorgeous Angie. He is happier now with equally gorgeous children. Don’t you think?

Great post by Gossipfan: supply and demand re paps. I believe she is also right about the purpose of the haters.
*6* I don’t think Brad cheated on Jen. And ur right if the marriage was strong no one could have come between them. There were unresolvable issues, family versus career etc.
*5* I also read that the judge signed off on their divorce August and the paperwork followed Oct.
It’s nice to think of Shiloh as a “celebratory” present. What a present after a 7 year draught!
