Pitt and Jolie Call It Quits

[Oceanlove]

There is some serious tension in the Jolie-Pitt household -- that is, if you believe a new book about the couple, due to hit stores Dec. 1. In Brangelina Exposed, author Ian Halperin claims Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have "successfully manipulated the public into believing a glamorous fairytale that bears little resemblance to the reality of the pair's life together." (Wow, that's a mouthful). There is even an accusation of heroin use by Jolie. This should be interesting. :scared:

We'll have to wait until one or more of their children write a "tell-all" book before we can know the truth. :laugh:

I wondered how long it would be before someone cashed in on this power couple with a book telling everyone how it's nothing like it seems. Ho-hum...with all of the problems facing the world today, I can't imagine putting any of my hard-earned money into such a waste of paper.

[Jayne]

ditto you airportwoman.

this is ridiculous.

how stupid are people? to not figure this out?

I have no respect for either of them..as people..but the one I will give respect to..for acting..is Pitt. Jolie...yeah..good..but I still give Pitt the upper here..and I would rather spit on him than shake his hand..if that means anything.

So what does that say?

I'm being Sarcastic.

Gheeze..get off the bandwagon. (I do not mean you..I mean the idiots...Pitt and Jolie...)

BORING!!!!! Although it doesn't surprise me about this, but what really makes me angry is their are innocent children involved in this. They start out innocent, but end up spoiled azz adults that don't think of anything but themselves. IMO

[February]

Are u all serious? Jolie is/was an addict?
The things I find out on this forum.

I'm still perplexed as to her spell over Brad.
Nevermind, scratch that. :blushing:

[k9friend]

I'll have to agree with Jayne here.
Well stated, Jayne!

I've always felt there is something inauthentic about that whole Brangelina thing. It feels like a ruse just to observe it.

I was sick of these two from the start.

If she were not fathered by a famous actor which gave her a bee-line into the business (talent or none) and didn't have Brad on her arm, she would be viewed by the public as a nutcase like Octomom.

[k9friend]

I guess now would be a good time to also inform you, that her former girlfriend was upset when she shacked up with BP.:w00t:

Who exactly was her girlfriend?

[openminded]

Who exactly was her girlfriend?

Reported to be Jenny Shimizu and the reason her first marriage ended (IIRC).

Jenny was also involved with Madonna. lol, no relevance here just juicy fodder. :biggrin:

Barf! JA is one of the most over rated actors of our time.

My high regard for Brangelina has little to do with their personal interaction. Both go out of their way to use the incessant paparazzi for good. They donate personal time to charities. Not just their names/faces.

You go Brad and Angie!

JMO

[aproudmom]

omg I get so sick of hearing about them.:thumbdown:

[Lavinya]

They haven't successfully manipulated this member of the public.
For one I don't give a hoot about either of the overpaid undertalented
duo and why would anyone believe their life is perfect?

Jolie is an addict from way back, nothing new there.

Are you saying recovering addicts are to never have adult relationships? :confused:

ITA, and why?

I don't think Pitt wears the pants in that relationship. Jolie wears both skirts and pants apparently.

He left a decent woman..who wanted a life with him. OK..maybe it wasn't destined to be..but to dump her and within hardly a BREATH of time hook up with A Jolie? And..be the pre octomom??

Sure..she's beautiful...haven't seen her without makeup..but few of us do..unless we shop Pavillions or pass them on the street. It's not all about beauty..but I think she is more self absorbed than Pitt. But, he's not someone I would jump at the chance of being with..he'd run when he'd find another "better deal".

So many of them are like that..but then the children get caught up in the middle. I give Madonna more credit. Didn't understand why she went about it as she did..but she's never abandoned her kids or put them in the middle of an argument that I know of. Has she?

Pitt and Jolie..I see it as a tug of war. And, sorry..I don't know enough apparently..but I think she causes more of the stress than he does. Spoiled and all "me". I take a lot of the tabloid stuff as BS..but I buy it that she thinks she is so beautiful that people would "get in her way"..like the waiter..wanted a woman instead of man..cause he'd be "smitten"? Give me a break.

I don't understand your point.

The paps are following them around constantly. It's a good thing for B & A to bring attention to causes which need the attention.

JMO

[Emerald]

Most people do it humbly. Not for publicity.

JMO

They don't do it for publicity for themselves, but for the charities. If B & A were Joe Blow, the paps would not care and the charities would not get the much needed publicity.

[aubrey04]

I am on Team Aniston. I love Jenn Aniston!

Pitt & Jolie do a lot for charities and different causes. Not only spending money, but they spend a lot of their time.. and they go to really unpleasant, war-torn, dangerous places to further their causes. so, I respect that aspect of their lifestyle.

Jolie just seems so cold in interviews-- at least in the past few years. Her personality seems to have faded and she seems unhappy. I am not sure what that is about..

.. I think what they did to Aniston was pretty crummy too..

[Marcia3]

Amen. AJ has made a concerted effort to clean up her scary, blood-drinking, brother-kissing image in the last few years...and snag herself an A-List boyfriend/partner/baby-daddy in the process.

Sorry to sound so cynical, but IMO they are both publicity seekers and want to project a certain image to the world...and some people buy into it.

All JMO.

[Hanalei]

LOLing at everyone thinking this book is true:laugh:

Come on the rag mags have been saying for yrs that BP and AJ are having problems and they are still together.

[Hanalei]

Aniston will be 50 and still be talking about having kids. Her career has always came first and even before her marriage to Brad. I don't blame Brad for getting out while he was still young enough to have kids.

I totally agree about JA being over rated. She hasn't had a successful career when she is the lead in the movie most of them bombed.

So you're laughing at everyone who thinks this book is true, and yet you believe the mags when they float their theory that the marriage broke up because Aniston didn't want kids and Brad did? It couldn't just be that Pitt decided to leave his wife for another woman, just like millions of other people have done? It doesn't speak well of his character, nor of AJ's, but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I just think it's ironic that you laugh at the gossip rags' portrayal of Pitt and AJ, but you buy into the same kind of story about someone else. Why? Because you think she's not a good actress?

Odd, IMO.

[Lavinya]

:confused: I don't understand your question?

Sorry I didn't get back here. I didn't think there were any new posts.

I may have misunderstood your statement whyme. i thought you were dismissing their relationship because of her, presumably recovered from, drug addiction. Sorry if I misread.

[Hanalei]

I didn't base my theory on the gossip mags it's just pretty clear to me that part of the break up of Ben and Jen is that he wanted kids and it's clear that her career was more important. I watched the last interview Brad did before he broke it off with Jennifer and in that interview you can tell he really wanted kids like yesterday. Just do the math Brad and Angelina have been together for almost 5 1/2 yrs and now have 6 kids together Brad and Jen were together for over 5 yrs and no kids. I've seen Jennifer's interviews and she never talks about having kids until someone asks her do you want kids.

It's a spoof. If you go to the link, it also says that Zahara (their daughter) is really a 30 year old Nigerian midget who broke the story.
It is just someone thinking they are being funny.

Huh? The only reference to her that I see is:
"They have three adopted children - Maddox eight, Pax, six, and Zahara, five, and three biological children Shiloh, three, and 17-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne."

[Debb]

They were talking about it on The Today Show this morning and apparently it is being reported as TRUE. NBC said that very reliable sources had confirmed it. I guess their people will make an announcment soon. Personally, I don't really care one way or the other. I trust they will each take care of the kids' needs. Even if they had been married, it wouldn't have surprised me. Poor Brad. If only he could find someone to love him.

The Today Show was saying that she had a fling with her dialect coach. The coach denies it.

IMO, Brad HAD someone to love him, until he hooked up with a skank.

You might be right! LOL.

I somehow don't think Angelina is the kind of person to promise much fidelity. I could be wrong, but she just doesn't strike me that way. I have always heard "If someone will cheat with you, they will cheat on you." I don't know if that is necessarily true, but it makes you wonder.

Maybe Jennifer was in love with Brad, but I recall while they were married, she often said that their marriage vows were "for as long as it worked." She openly stated that she and Brad never promised "until death do we part" because they didn't think that way. Those words always made me wonder about them as a couple. She made these statements years before Brad hooked up with Jolie. Just saying.......

I like Jennifer just fine. I think she is underrated as an actress, however, the men she has hooked up with make me wonder if she is mentally more mature than a 10th grader in high school. Very odd IMO.

Hi Debb;
Again, I agree 100% and in fact was getting ready to respond very similarly..LOL!
Angelina Jolie...strange woman with lots and lots of unresolved issues. She sees something she wants and it's hers. I admire her for the commitment she's made to the less fortunate but....that's all.
Jenn....immature like you said. She's going to be 42 but mentally you're right...more like a 15 year old.
And Brad...WTH do these women see in him anyway. It's always eluded me.
I hope for the sake of the 6 children they have that it's not true but am inclined to think it is.
What a shame.

[Debb]

Hey Canucme. I don't see what is so great about Brad either, but apparently he has the magic touch if you know what I mean. I'm more of a Clooney fan myself, even though, he does act like a youngster with his womanizing. His women rotate like the flavor of the month! LOL. It's really embarrassing I would think.

Oh, I did hear about 3 weeks ago that Angelina had made up with her father. I never saw much press about it, but remember thinking that must be a good thing right? I never did know what the problem was.

Honestly though, I think Brad may be too mature and settled for Jennifer anymore. Funny they don't seem like the perfect couple anymore. I heard HLN that she and the guy who stars in her new movie have posed for a bunch of mostly naked photos together. Whatever....LOL

Hasn't Jolie had a history of hooking up with the men she co-stars with? I think other actors have done this. It's like they live in their movies, but can't last in real life. Kinda sad.

Thanks!!!!! I was about to think I was crazy! I knew that I had read something different at that link yesterday.

I was always Team Jennifer but I hope this is not true because of the children involved.

Yuppers....Billy Bob Thorton was engaged to Laura Dern when Angelina decided she wanted him. Brad was married to Jennifer when Angelina decided she wanted him.
I am sure there's another person involved in the layers of deceipt that surround this disaster...unfortunately.
It is sad.

Hi Debb;
I did read that she had made up with her Dad and that he was alleged to have played an integral role in her decision to leave Brad. I don't know how true that is but I heard it on Headline News as well as reading it in US Weekly.

I don't see anything in Brad and never did. I think that at the time he met Angelina she promised him the children he so wanted. I remember seeing way back when, pictures of him and Angelina holding hands not long after beginning filming together. I'm pretty sure it was a wham-bam thing.
She had nothing to lose and another woman's husband to gain.

I have never been a fan of any of the three of them. There are more beautiful and talented actresses than these two for sure, and as for men, please........WAY more talented and handsome than Brad.

I just feel terrible for the children if it turns out to be true. More dysfunction.
