Michael Douglas - On Team Aniston!
Michael Douglas has a big mouth:
“I don’t know about Brad Pitt,” says Douglas, “leaving that beautiful woman [Jennifer Aniston] to go hold orphans for Angelina [Jolie]. I mean how long is that going to last?”
It’s an odd comment, coming from someone who himself is a “Messenger of Peace” for the United Nations. Pitt’s rep declined to fire back, but let’s hope that UN goodwill ambassador Jolie shows him some diplomatic immunity. [source]
I mean, it’s not as if he has been with one woman his whole life…

This is such a disgusting comment; I can’t even think straight.
My theory… MD must have hit on AJ at some point and AJ must have turned him down flat… that’s why he is saying these ugly things now… I can’t blame him… who wouldn’t want to be with a beautiful, honest, selfless woman as AJ… what does he have… a narcissistic, money-grubbing, me me me wife in CZJ… they both make me sick.

Michael, who are you to throw stones? as long as
they are happy, leave them alone! you and your
wife couldtake some lessons, do or say something
good instead of throwing stones.Maybe you should
try carrying a child around, it might help your
image.

Michael Douglas only wishes he could hold what Brad is holding when it comes to Angelina Jolie. This comment comes from someone who has no understanding at all of the relationship between AJ and BP. Too bad that an elderly man had to stoop to make such comments.

You know he just shows the utmost lack of respect there. Reading the old article he seems to feel in the position of criticizing everybody´s marriage. He mentions Julia Roberts and Renee Zellweger and their failed marriages! He has no respect. Who does he think he is to be opinating about other´s relationships! He should pay more attention to his own marriage! I doubt CZJ would be with him much more longer if you know what I mean…

Ok, guys: there´s an article on People about Jennifer. I´ll paste it:
Jennifer Aniston: Don’t Feel Sorry For Me
Monday Mar 13, 2006 8:00am EST
By Stephen M. Silverman
CREDIT: GEORGE PIMENTEL / WIREIMAGE
Jennifer Aniston isn’t looking for pity – from anybody.
“Don’t make me your victim … It makes my skin crawl,” the ex-Mrs. Brad Pitt, 37, tells Vogue magazine in a new interview, excerpts of which are being reported by USA Today.
Of her former husband’s relationship with Angelina Jolie, which often has Aniston being mentioned in press reports: “I’m so tired of being part of this sick, twisted Bermuda Triangle,” she says – never mentioning Pitt or Jolie by name.
She also reveals that the media frenzy that still surrounds her may force her to move from Los Angeles, where she now lives in the same Hollywood bungalow she called home before her marriage.
“All I can do is go on and live my life,” she says.
As for whether or not that life includes her The Break-Up costar and Oscar-party companion Vince Vaughn, all that Aniston reportedly says about him is: “First and foremost, he’s a really good, loyal friend. Fiercely loyal.”
Is it just me or I´m not the only one feeling the subliminal message here about loyalty?

Is it because MD’s wife was Pitt’s significant other in Ocean’s 12? Maybe she developed a crush and he’s jealous.

Mar 13, 2006 at 6:47 pm
OMG! I can not believe he said that. Excuse me but maybe I’m dating myself here….Didn’t Mike D. and his wife divorce after 20 yrs. because of his “admiration” for other women during their marriage? Obviously, because he’s too old to remember the mid 90’s the rest of us are supposed to forget they existed as well, huh? Maybe he should try rocking the cradle instead of always robbing it! OH NO, watch out CZJ…JA is about 2 years younger than you. MD should not be throwing stones, considering he lives in a glass house. Don’t get me wrong, MD looked pretty hot in his day BUT that was yesterday. Someone should tell him green is not his color. LOL

Dear members,
If you took the time to write a comment on this thread please write to the UN and voice your displeasure/anger/hate regarding the comments made by Michael Douglas. He has a right to his opinion but it amazes me that the UN would want a person who holds orphans in such little regard, as one of their UN Ambassadors of Peace.
inquiries@un.org
If Michael D. was some anonymous hater than I would say that we should just let his comments slide. Unfortunately, he is a man with some power in Hollywood. Enough power to have his hateful comments in GQ, on the evening news, entertainment shows, and if you google either Brad or Angelina, his comments appear within the first few links.
Please take the time to write.

I´m sorry but I don´t think it´s going to make any difference. Thank you for the email. More power to those whom decide to write to the UN. I hope someone there listens and takes in account your opinions, I really do.
But as far as I´m concerned I think that by expressing our views on MR. Douglas´remarks about orphanhood in general in this blog or anywhere else, be it, livejournal, message forum, etc… we are already making a difference. Somehow I think his comments are going to blast and not in pleasant way for him. Now about the UN status quo, I don´t think they care about whatever he or any other celebrity think regarding this couple or any other. Because it was all that about. He talked about Brad and Angie and their children, he didn´t express a general opinion about the orphans, refugees, parenting, war or another matter that would cause a riot amidst the UN members. If it was that the matter, you may be sure we all would be mass emailing the UN.
Good luck. Honestly.

I’ve finally calmed down a bit from my initial reaction. I was livid for the better part of the day, and although I do try to keep these things in perspective, and although I know Jolie-Pitt have dealt with a deluge of pov’s since they were first rumored to be an item, it still knocked me for a loop.
This has to be the first times I have ever felt “hurt” for them. As much as I’m aware of Angelina’s minimal concern about how she lives her life, this is the first time I can recall someone so well known verbally going gunning for her kid’s, and I can’t help but feel that this may have stung both she and Brad.
Michael Douglas basically referred to Maddox & Zahara as non entities. He ignored the fact that their status as orphans ended when she adopted them as her own. He spoke of them like that didn’t matter; like they may have a legal parent, but at the end of the day that’s ALL they have. At the end of the day they’re still just two little third world waif’s Angelina’s conned Brad into leaving behind his “beautiful wife Jennifer Aniston so he could stand around and hold his new womans orphans.”
I guess it may not have bothered me so much if it hadn’t been recited so coldly, and so matter of fact, like MD’s been scratching his head wondering what could make Brad leave JA for the life he has. Ok, maybe if it weren’t MD saying asking the question it would still piss me off, but maybe not as much? But it is Michael Douglas saying this, and saying it without a bit of humanity for even the children in his statement. This is the same man who DID “unlike Brad” leave his wife for another, and wanted out so bad that his divorce settlement is still one of hollywoods most expensive on record!
Judging by the public’s reaction to his words today, Michael Douglas may be on the recieving end of some serious backlash to contend with. Even from people I know aren’t necessarily fans of Angelina and/or Brad were appalled. It’s a free country thank God, and I will never suggest that someone not be able to say what it is they want to say, but by the same token, they had better be prepared for how those words may just come back to haunt them.
In closing, I really hope Jolie-Pitt continue with their no comment stance, and continue on living their lives, raising their babies, and preparing for the new one. They’ve got bigger things to deal with than a little man and his pettiness.
sorry for the length or my rant…..
bamz9LOVE
Mar 13, 2006 at 9:53 pm
Diana thanks for posting the People info,
I wasn’t a fan of Jennifer Aniston even before Brad, I really find myself having a hard time trying to have empathy for her. I may have been more kind in my assessment of her if she weren’t in one breath declaring how she doesn’t want sympathy (”uh, ok”), wants to put this behind her (again “uh, ok”) but then two months down the road she’s back on some mag repeating the mantra!
Brad & Angelina have YET to discuss anything, and even when they were doing interviews, they had a contractual agreement rider that said “if you ask this this and/or that…….we reserve the right to cut the interview off”. IF they can ask, why can’t she?
Maybe she should seek Michal Douglas’s advice on how to handle things from here on out. lol
Willow
Mar 13, 2006 at 10:16 pm
Diana,
I respectfully disagree. Yes, I do think its worthwhile to express our disappointment and disgust with Michael D’s comments on this blog and others but I think that its even more important to voice our opinions everywhere and anywhere there’s an opportunity. This means writing to the UN, writing to GQ, writing to Michael D’s publicist, etc.
Your interpretation of his comments is that he did not voice a general opinion about all orphans. I again respectfully disagree.
I think the bottom line, at least mine, is that when a public figure makes ignorant comments about the Jolie-Pitts then we the fans have to find ways of showing our support. I don’t know if writing the UN or GQ will force Douglas to apologize but I do know that doing nothing begets nothing. I’d rather say I tried and failed than I never tried at all.
Thanks Diana. I do realize that we’re on the same team.

I really dont feel jennifer anniston has been bringing anything up in any interviews ..and if anything she has done a great job hiding her emotions…come on girls…we all have been there ..girls get guy ..girl looses guy to another women… do tell me how you felt at that moment and (I been there and it took years to get over ..even if it was a high school thing ..many many years ago and I still recall how it felt .. and then lets ten times it with it being public and then babies on top of that …I am not a jennifer Fan…. but geeze people…. Jen has not been on a ohh feel sorry for me tantrum…and I bet you anything she has had enough..I have had enough of it already myself…So Brad and angie are a couple….great …good for them …well lets all just get on with our lifes… Brad cheated as alot of people do…angie got the man she wanted as she always does( or female ) and so be it no problem with that if that is her thing too…but its soooooooo over done jen ,brad and angie…its no longer Jen and brad…and as far as the comment from Michael douglas….Geeze…. are you sure it taken out of context or miss printed or something…I find it hard to see anyone saying that at all…I just think it is kinda mean thing to say …and I did not take the man as being stupid…….but saying that ..maybe he is the few men who you speak with that really has a opinion of Angelina…and its not good…. I just dont know but I use to like this web site as people spoke and had comments and made a great discussion…I see a few new folk around here and some comments are getting to be like alot of other sites about Brad and angie ..I hate this and balablabala and I hate her and balbalabla…just make a comment and try to be adult about it and try to think about how the other person feels as after all WE DONT KNOW ANY OF THESE PEOPLE… they are not freinds of yours or mine….just MOVIE STARS….lets just enjoy there movies ……..

I cant see MD ..ruining his wifes career over a Brad , Jen and angie thing.. This stuff happens all the time in life…

bamz9LOVE - You´re welcome. I think that with this interview, she achieved exactly the oposite she states she´s looking there. People won´t leve her alone if she keeps repeating the same. I find that she´s having trouble letting go. IMO.
Laura - I understand your opinion, but I have to disagree. I think that nobody cheated here. JA herself said so, she believed her husband. That´s why nobody understands why is she having so much trouble letting this go.
You know what makes me come here to Christina blog everyday? It´s the amount of respevt of every opinion mentioned here. As far as I´m concerned little forums and blogs can brag themselves of achieving that. Christina does a wonderful job, and the members (the usual ones who chose to stop by, I´m familiar with some usernames) are also very respecting. I like this. I´d be glad if you´d feel comfortable to stop by more often. I believe you´re welcome as well your ideas. :)

just sent an e-mail to UN re MD’s remark about orphans.It is very insensitive and callous at bestfrom someone who represents the UN in some of its many advocacies.
Perhaps he has no knowledge that these orphans are already victims of war, poverty and all other natural calamities. Heartless comments . Thinks these kids are like trash. Thanks for Angie and now Brad , they now have a home, a set of caring parents and most gratifying is that they are alive. MOre power to BAMZ.

Mar 14, 2006 at 9:39 am
Laura, we definitely will have to agree to disagree on many things where our opinion of Jennifer Aniston is concerned, but especially on two points:
1. IMO, Jennifer did not lose Brad to Angelina. IMO, the Aniston-Pitt marriage was standing on shaky ground long before Angelina was known to them. Valid information easily found shows that as early as the end of 2003, both Brad/Jen were rethinking, re-accessing the marriage, and according to a serious amount of reputable info out there, this couple was headed for splitsville sooner if not later.
2. Brad Pitt has never been tagged as a classice celeb/hollywood cheater. In fact, he’s one celeb that HAS the rep of being physically monogamous, “a one woman man”, faithful to a fault (its said Gwynith Paltrow actually cheated on him, and that was the cause of them breaking their engagement).
That said, of course no one but he can speak regarding his heart. Only he knows if “emotionally” he strayed at anytime, with anyone, and according to Courtney Cox in JA’s Vanity Fair 9/05 interview, he did admit to JA that he felt a connection to AJ, and had been dealing with it for awhile. According to CC, she didn’t believe anything else happened feeling that “most who do stray don’t generally admit feeling a connection as he did”.
Bottomline, JA has yet to accuse him of cheating, and has gone on record as saying “she chooses to believe him”, and so I’m always puzzled with some of the public’s continued belief that it happened when the “wife” has said no, she doesn’t buy it. Also, she filed the divorce, and instead of the reason of adultery, she charges irreconcilable differences. In my mind, if you’ve chosen to end your marriage, and the reason is because your spouse DID stray, why aren’t you given that as the reason for filing for divorce? Maybe it’s because again “that’s not the reason for the split”.
Diana
Mar 14, 2006 at 9:57 am
bamz9LOVE - just one question: is it true JA and Brad had marriage counseling~? I ask this because I was not a Brad conoisseur so to speak, before him hooking up with Angie, I must confess, and so I´ve been trying to catch up on every single tidbit it might help me to know more about him and Angie was well. This marriage counseling was mentioned around the internet.

“and as far as the comment from Michael douglas….Geeze…. are you sure it taken out of context or miss printed or something…I find it hard to see anyone saying that at all…I just think it is kinda mean thing to say …and I did not take the man as being stupid…….but saying that ..maybe he is the few men who you speak with that really has a opinion of Angelina…and its not good….”
Michael Douglas’ words weren’t taken out of context, and have been confirmed on countless times since yesterday not only on television, but on the web. He has a right to his opinion, and I would never suggest that he (or anyone) shouldn’t be allowed to voice it, and at the same time, I have the freedom to disagree or agree with his comments, and I wholeheartedly do disagree.
No matter who may have said it, I’d have a problem with it, but I REALLY have one when a man of Michael D’s less than honorable track record where his personal life is concerned, dares to critic someone elses marriage and lifestyle.
If he hadnt done it in a way that was pointedly, delibrately, and downright nasty, and seemingly meant to hurt, cause a stir, and probably for no reason less than one as self serving such as to start a buzz for his new movie, then maybe my anger would be less, but no, since I DO believe he wanted this reaction, and I fell for it, I’m doubly pissed.
I’m not sure what you mean by your comment:
“maybe he (Michael Douglas)is the few men who you speak with that really has a opinion of Angelina…and its not good….”
and I’m not going to speculate, but I will admit that at first, second, third read, this has made me feel a bit “hinky”. Not sure what you’re saying here, but again, you have every right TO say it.

Do any of you remember Angelina’s past attempts at notoriety? Do Vials of blood, strategic tatoos, lip-locking her brother on a nationally televised awards show ring a bell? How beneficial is continent hopping and photo shoots leaving toy stores and family fun centers for Maddox and Zahara really? Adopting children is only a good thing if you can provide them with a sense of who they are and what they can be in this world. Hopefully both children will be brought up to be proud of their ancestry and learn to value more than the latest american toy or clothing style.
Diana
Mar 14, 2006 at 10:33 am
But Shaebird, it´s not that what Angelina is doing? Bringing the adoption issue and the adoption of children coming from battled countries where poverty and infant mortality approaches horrible numbers? IMO she uses her notoriety for great causes. We cannot say the same about Mr. Douglas for instant. At least after this incident And bamz9love said something that IMO touched the nail head: he´s enjoying, possibly the notoriety he´s having now. Probably his remarks are serving him well. I just hope the media burns him down and so this way he´ll see the terrible mistake he commited by commenting on other people´s relationships and addressing to THEIR children the way he did.
Nina
Mar 14, 2006 at 10:52 am
Sheabird, all that is in Angelina’s past. It boggles my mind that people still feel the need to bring all of that stuff up. She was in her twenties and she had no children. She is 30 years old now and has 2 kids w/ a 3rd on the way. Having children changes you, she even said herself that having kids was the best thing that has ever happened to her. Aren’t people allowed to change and grow? Can’t you see she is clearly not doing any of those things now?
As for the “photo shoots” you speak of, listen. Brad and Angelina are the most followed and talked about couple in the world. They are very high in demand right now. Whether Angelina likes it or not, they are going to be followed, it’s not her fault that cameras follow her everywhere. Why do you think they left the US? To escape all the craziness going on here. Whenever mags feature her and Brad, they fly off the shelves. Whenever they are mentioned in blogs, they get hundreds of comments. This couple is in demand, simple as that, by haters and lovers.
Shaebird
Mar 14, 2006 at 11:28 am
Answer the question. I didn’t ask you if Angelina was bringing notoriety to impoverished countries and the devastating mortality rates of newborns, a notoriety she could bring without adopting children I might add. I asked if you thought continent hopping and toy store and family fun centers were beneficial for Zahara and Maddox.Adopting children with diverse backgrounds requires a commitment. I worry about the the values being taught to these children and the success any personality can have unless they change their jet-stting ways. The verdict is still out on how Angelina and Brad will fare as parents. I am encouraged by their possible decision to raise their family in France away from the spotlight.Finally I ask how you can be so sure that,”all that is in Angelina’s past”? Crystal ball? Personal friend? Guessing?

Shaebird:
Countless psychologists have theorized that it’s not where you travel or have your home, it’s the people in your lives that is more important. As long as there is stability there, it doesn’t reallly matter how many times they choose to move around. I’m sure there are many people out there who’s parent’s careers required them to move around a lot and I’m sure plenty of them grew up fine. Children are a lot stronger than you seem to give them credit for.
You seem to think that moving around a lot is teaching them some kind of bad values. I can’t seem to fathom what that could be. Teaching children culture from different countries and exposing them to different worlds and people as I see Angelina doing is to me a very good thing.
You seem also to say that just because Maddox and Zahara are from diverse backgrounds, they require a special commitment. I think that all children deserve a special commitment.
Not sure about Brad as a father but he has a very close family so it speaks well of his role as a father. Furthermore, I have read nothing to say that she is a bad mother and in fact, all the reports I’ve read point to her as a good mother.
Regarding Angelina’s past: I assume that we including you are only guessing what goes on in any of these people’s lives. But, just as you got your information about Angelina’s past life from the media and from her own words, I can assume that that same outlet is being used to determine what she is like now. She has said that she has changed and her focus are her children. Everything you see about her now, speaks to the fact that yes, she really is different; a more stable and mature woman.

Diana, I’m a real stickler for at least trying to find as much of the truth “before I comment on it” especially where the Aniston-Pitt-Jolie saga has been concerned. I’ve scoured the web for more than hearsay, and assumption, and yeah, even then one has to proceed with caution “and a shaker of salt”. For the most part though, much has been verified/proven true.
Anyway, I’m supplying 2 links. The first to the PittCenter.com which has a vid that I’m 99% certain counseling info is included if I remember correctly. It’s very VERY interesting IMO, and I was seriously enlightened about a lot of things. Anyway, I believe the counseling is addressed in it. And the second to About.com

The blurb below is part of a pretty straight Pitt-Aniston marriage timeline found at About.com. The only problem with it is “this original source (News.com) is that there’s a charge for the archived article, and it’s not THAT important to me to shell out any moola” lol. Most of the time I can find the original artical, and I’m certain with time “I will”.

I didn’t ask you if Angelina was bringing notoriety to impoverished countries and the devastating mortality rates of newborns, a notoriety she could bring without adopting children I might add. I asked if you thought continent hopping and toy store and family fun centers were beneficial for Zahara and Maddox.
By “answering the question” that you demand, please do specify to whom you´re questioning? It was for me? Sorry, I got the idea by the content of my post and your following answer.
I believe this children are lucky to have parents that provide them awareness not only about their native countries and their problems as also give them confort and try them to have a normal childhood. I´m sorry but toy store and family fun are not my idea of a sad childhood. About the continent hopping, I think I already answer above when it comes to the point that these children are seeing by their own eyes that not everybody has the same luck as them, not every child has toys, a loving family and much less food to eat or a propper education.
As for her past, really if we´re not her friends, and we have Cristal Balls then whoever thinks the oposite must be facing the same don´t you think: personal guessing and Christal Balls. We don´t know her, but personally for me this is a woman who has changed, has grown, has matured, find her purpose in life. Everybody has his%her own demons but not everybody can fight them. she did and made of her fight something that worth it.

ITA with every word. Great post. I find it interesting that it’s only ever Angelina’s past, and not how her life has obviously changed since before she even adopted her first child. Prior to becoming Maddox’s mother when he was 7mths, she has spoken about how seeing the landmine victims, and other “man’s inhumanity to man” travisties, and that’s what first started her on her newfound journey. Maddox didn’t come into her life until later. Point is, the negative’s people keep harping on where put away by the woman over 5yrs ago. I feel sorry for people who are so busy judging others that they miss the chance to see the good.

Sorry to be an ignorant blogger. Have never done this before as is most evident and did not realize before this that I should address my comments directly. Now I don’t know who I should be addressing. I originally commented in the first place because I get tired of celebrities being forgiven for all manner of indescretions based on notoriety. I appreciate the strong opinions about parenting. I guess what it boils down to for me is adopting children doesn’t necessarily make a good parent and visiting underdeveloped countries doesn’t necessarily make a humanitarian. Thank you for bringing it to my attention that I too am being judgmental. People do change.

Well i just saw the first five minutes of the View just so i can see what they were gonna say about the whole MD situation…Meredith read the quote straight from the mag (so now everyone has proof that its not gossip or made up!) and she asked “Is he being nasty or just telling the truth?”…to which Star replied “both” and when she said that there were a few (and i do mean few people because they put the camera in the audience and it was like five or six middle aged women) clapping at that statement (bunch of idiots for actually believing the “triangle” crap!)…Joy (who i believe was the only one defending Brad and Angie) said “why would you(the audience) believe that..Meridith interjected and said “because probably a lot of people feel bad for Jennifer Aniston”, and Elizabeth of course agreed (oh my god, im in shock!!LOL), and Joy said thats stupid because “the other one(meaning Angie) is beautiful too”, Meridith said “of course” and Elizabeth was saying “Who? Jeniffer Aniston, and Joy and Meredith said “Angie” and the Elizabeth (with a half a** smile on her face) says “yeah just a little, she’s cute”, and they pretty much discussed it for like a minute and said that MD has always been controversial (they pointed out to a few movies that he has done that have been “controversial”)…so that was the View…
However, even though they discussed the tpic for like a minute or so, i am still emailing BW about Elizabeth and her stupid little comments because im on a crusade to get that woman off the show, i cant stand her and her remarks quite honestly are straight out of junior high.

I watched it, but I caught only the last, and I’m not a viewer so not familier with Elizabeth H. Anyway, when I turned to the show, it appeared that Joy B? seemed to be defending MD, and Elizabeth H actually seemed to be coming down on his comments! In fact, Meredeth V, Starr J, and Elizabeth H all seem to be trying to convince Joy he was wrong!

I hate the view and would only watch it if I was being tortured by a million angry bees AND was about to be dropped into boiling water AND they were going to poke my eyes out.
I think people should simply stop watching it entirely because I think the show is a form of cruelty against humanity and I hate the fact that they are supposed to represent women.
Maybe I would watch it if some woman went on the show and ranted about just how silly and stupid they all are, especially Star and Elizabeth.

Well I have to say I have always like the view…I like a good dicussion..and they definately have alot of opinions on that show… as we do in here too ….I curb my tongue most of the time in here….I dont get the view in Scotland…boo hooo but I sure would have liked to have seen it for myself…. I agree that maybe MD spoke what he thought alot of people were actually thinking and just dont have the **** well you know to say it !… I have seen that opinion voiced on other web sites already…. I do think and will always think…. that the Brad and angie thing came on a bit too quick and strong…and even if he was OR wasnt in love with angie before he and Jen annouced there break up …. he should have not been following Angie around the world…within weeks of the announcment…and yes I understand it is there life ..but you see what has happened…in the world…we are sitting around talking about Brad and angie and they cant get a moments peace……….
so lets say for example…Brad and Jennifer annouced there sep ( I was shocked actually when I heard it ) and that was that …and Brad and Angie did not shack up together in Canada or vice versa and did not do a what was it 50 page photo shoot of him and angie pretending to be husband and wife weeks after the annoucment was done…( I would have been really hurt by that too)and lets say the divorce went thru and perhaps in Dec Brad and angie actually started to be seen out together…………..and not be the time she annouced hey I am pregnant with Brads child even though we been saying there is nothing going on with us …….I mean come on people……I think if they waited a bit and then started dating ..but not to get pregnant before the divorce was final..I think you have alot of old school women and men around the world .. and I believe in the code….and I was once told…you should finish with one thing before moving on with another ….. I think if they had done that and then started dating public that there life would not be as it is..I think everyone should give there slef a year off after a divorce, a major break up etc anyways…but I also think ..cant proove this that Brad and Angie were already involved …long before the sep was annouced..and yeah I heard what someone said to me before…they neevr accused Brad of cheating..well I amhere ot tell you… I been in a similar situation an dyou can be in love with someone and get pretty emoitionally involved wityh a person even though they are attached to someone else ..be it married..engaged or dating …and we can all play games…I dont believe for one min that Brad and Angie just so happen to fall fo reach other the day after the sep was annouced…. I am 36 years old and I dont have my heads in the clouds..Just my opinion….I am going to look online for the MD comment..and just cause they read it as I said before from a mag or paper does not mean it was quoted in the right way…if he did say it on tv ..maybe then I will believe it…but maybe he said it and meant it another way ….like..perhaps he meant it like…hey Brad left Jen for what ..to be a personal babysitter ….or perhaps MD meant it another way I just dont know…..but last time I checked UNITED STATES had a freedom of speech law…like I said just a opinion…I odnt mind if noone agrees with me…excuse my mistakes and my longggggggg reply…

This is the article of MD……………Veteran actor Michael Douglas implied in an interview in the new issue of GQ magazine that he wonders about Brad Pitt’s ability to make his relationship with Angelina Jolie work.
“I don’t know about Brad Pitt,” Douglas said, “leaving that beautiful woman [Jennifer Aniston] to go hold orphans for Angelina? I mean, how long is that going to last?”
And Brad and Ange aren’t the only celebrity couple that Douglas disses: “You learn to respect something of value and nurture it and treat it well,” he offered.
“I mean, don’t ask me what happened with Renee Zellweger [and her short-lived husband Kenny Chesney]. I don’t know how you get married for four months. And Julia Roberts with Lyle Lovett. There must be some incredible things you find out one night. I mean, I don’t know.”
The divorced actor found married bliss with his second and current wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is 25 years younger than he is, and he tells GQ that she saved him from meaningless bachelorhood.
………See if you read it in a whole and yessssssssss I agree he maybe should not have quite put it that way ..but he was and I am just guessing here maybe trying to say he values marraige and he cant understand how two people can get married one day and divorced the next and as I said if you open your mind to what he was trying to get across and yes I agree he was saying it very very badly but he did not only ditch Brad and Angie if that is any thing…I just dont get worked up about what he had to say ..I am just her to here what people got to say and go …….wow or ohhhhhhh never thought of it that way …but hey MD has a opinion and look what he did …stirred everyone up …I tend to find men of his age dont care what they say…the have been in this world long enough and they are going to speak there minds…I still have yet to hear the words come out his mouth..still looking online for that !

Fortunetelly Susie I never catched the View! I don´t live in the US, so I guess I´m not loosing much! Lol!
But I was told this Elizabeth is the worst and she was one of the contenders for Survivor! *gasps*
I think you´ll be glad to know that she´s now being called as EliZabitch! ;)

Laura-the problem with MD´s comments is he should look himself at the mirror before making any judgdement. I agree with you, he is entitled to his opinion, it´s a free country, freedom of speech and so on, but hold it right there! When someone starts commenting on other´s personal lives (well not us, afterall we are the anonimous people here) but a public person, someone that represents a status quo, someone that has a place in the United Nations, that seems very tacky. It´s not respectful and gives himself a very low image. Then as if it wasn´t enough he talks about Mad and Z, Brad and Angie´s children, calling them orphans! They are not orphans, they have a mom and a dad! How could he speak of the children in those terms? I wonder if he would be pleased if someone would call his children GRANDCHILDREN! Like somenthing: “Hey old man, how are your grandchildren, Carys and Dylan?” Or if someone would dtart commenting on his past sex-addiction, his inumerous affairs, infidelities to Diandra, his wife CZJ SMOKING when she was 7 months pregnant?
About the Brad and Angie relationship, I´ll back to that later… ;)

So Diana,forgive Angelina for past indescretions but not Michael Douglas? Seems like he’s done some changing of his ways as has Angelina. My guess is neither one of them are eligible to cast stones. I will say this. It appears that MD and CZJ got married, had children and settled down to raise their family, putting careers and notoriety on the back burner. Hopefully Brad and Angelina will do the same.

Shaebird - Angie is not casting stones to anyone, she´s living her life. She has grown up, matured, fought her demons and assumed it. She´s a different woman now, that´s why I love her! She had the guts to figth for what she belives and found a purpose to her life! I wish I could say the same about me or many other people! Now MD? Oh, please… what is on his mind to come now and throw stones, talking about others? He should admitt his past errors and shut his mouth up. Make something worthy to others!

Diana you shoud have just ignored Laura and Shaebird. This is Pittwatch,I don’t why they came here of all places to defend MD.

People have opinions, but it’s just hilarious that MD is the one casting stones; a notorious womanizer that he was. Just consider for a second how he left his last wife while still pregant. I say if he wants to cast stones, then he should look towards his own wife, CZJ. How can a 7 month pregnant woman be smoking?

Laura, I do see all sides, and Michael Douglas was a philandering sex addict who’s own wife publically denounced him for not only that, but his lack in fathering skills because he was so busy out skirt chasing. You seem to have no problem finding the silverlining in someones words if those words are shoring up your negative opinion of Brad and Angelina, and hey, that’s your right to do, but it makes me take pretty much everything you say as nothingmore than a veiled attempt at slipping under the wire as a neutral bystander. If you don’t like them, just come out and say you don’t, and if you don’t, cool because again, that’s your right to feel that way.
