Angelina and Shiloh on 5/19/08. Credit: WENN
Many of you commented on some of the (very heated and amusing) Brangelina threads that we have no way of verifying reports that there’s a bidding war for the first photos of the twins and it’s possible that those stories are false. Some of you thought that Brad and Angelina might be trying to preserve their privacy by refusing to sell the photos. Brad recently issued a cease and desist demanding the removal of photos taken with a telephoto lens of his family playing in their backyard, and that could be a sign that they’re working to keep their children out of the public eye. The first photos of Pax and Shiloh were published in Hello! and People, but that doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily going to sell the photos of Knox and Vivienne, even though the money will go to charity.
A report has come out exclusively in Just Jared that the twin photos have been brokered to People Magazine for a staggering figure that’s somewhere between $10 to $15 million. This story isn’t sourced or even credited to an insider so it’s hard to tell where they’re getting their information. JustJared is a member of the Buzznet network and they were possibly given a tip by someone there or another insider source. It’s also of course possible that this is another bs story:
JustJared.com has just learned that People magazine has drummed up the winning bid for the first pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins – Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. It is rumored that the winning bid is between $10 million and $15 million. The pictures will come up in a future People magazine issue (but not this week!). The money paid to Brad and Angelina has already been earmarked for charity.

Babies are cute and I enjoy seeing the glamorous posed photos of the newborns at home with their parents, but that’s a hell of a lot of money. At least we know that a worthy charity will benefit from it, which cannot be said of the baby photo money given to celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and Christina Aguilera. (Our new writer Sammie is working on a story about OK! Magazine’s full coverage of Matthew McConaughey’s new baby, Levi, and she mentioned that OK! gave a donation to his jk livin foundation. From the way she worded it, I got the impression that McConaughey got the full $3 million and an additional donation was given to his charity. I’ve asked her for clarification and we’ll be reporting on that later in the day. At this point I’m not sure whether McConaughey and Alves pocketed the baby money.)
Celebrities that have chosen not to sell photos of their newborns include Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman. Berry brought criminal charges earlier this week against a photographer that captured a faraway picture of her in her backyard with four month old Nahla. She issued a statement that said “I will do everything I can for the sake of her safety and well-being to keep her out of the public eye.” As commenter Anastasia pointed out, maybe Brad and Angelina are trying to keep the paparazzi away by releasing photos of their twins. That way, they won’t get photographers hanging out in the surrounding woods in camouflage and attacking their security guys. For the type of money those first pictures are worth, photographers are willing to go to extraordinary measures to capture the twins on film.
This is obscene. And truly a horrible commentary on our culture. Even if Brad and Ang give it all to “charity”. What charity? Frankly, I’d like proof. And, yes, by putting such an huge bounty on their babies heads, they will ensure that their children will continue to experience paparazzi as well as the other children they go to school with – very, very poor parenting choices guys. Still don’t get the worship status they’ve achieved.
Getting the blender prepared, a comfy spot in front of my computer…
Ready?
Set?
GO!!!
Shiloh is so beautiful. What a little angel! I hope she doesn’t trash her body with tattoos when she grows up like her mom has.
Thats why the paparazzi continue to bother these 2 parisites. They sell their children to the highest bidder then claim its for charity….YEAH RIGHT…Then they have the nerve to complaint I really hope the paps continue to make their lives and their childrens’ lives hell BECAUSE THEY BRING IT ON THEMSELVES….
Its not the first time I say this, but if they are paying all that money for the photos, it means that they will be making more from the sales and ADS! I dunno much about weekly mags figures but it´s quite obvious to me! So at least, instead of all that money going to a major publication company, is going to charity! And I see NO BAD in that!
Just like to point out that $10-$15 million dollars is only £5-£7.5 million pounds. See, better already. Almost reasonable. 😉
Seriously, whatever. I can’t affect this so I’m not getting hot under the collar about it.
Actually, Larissa, it doesn’t necessarily work like that. Mags rarely recoup the cost of the pics, it’s more an ongoing PR exercise for them, ensuring and maintaining good relations with the celebs concerned and possible other exclusives – like an investment for the future. Although that said, who knows in this case, considering the interest? Maybe they will.
yeah they SAY it goes to charity but they got four million for Shiloh’s photo’s then announced that they gave much more that same year for media attention – but the TRUTh came out that they only gave 8 million that year – NOT the 1/3 of their income that they brag about supposedly giving, and DEFINATELY not the amount they tried to fool us with by saying they gave more than they actually did.
Phonies!!!
The office is crazy today, it’s a good day for morning margaritas – pass me one with no salt please, Miss Jann.
We need a drinking game for these threads…
@geronimo, I was about to say the same thing.
US dollar is weak and our ‘beloved’ Brangelina need a lot of EURO to live in South of France. The number is not outrageous at all. That’s a lot of kids for Brangelina to raise, I say. And there are more kids on the way!
Chamalla, how about you take a drink each time someone posts ‘homewrecker’?
Brangelina may be a better word…we’ll definitely need to make more margaritas!
Well I’m glad we amuse you so much, CB! I know I always laugh my ass off over the AJ&BP threads! This is gonna be a good one, get the blender ready!!
That is a truely obscene amount of money. But since there isn’t a real source, reliable or not, I’ll have to wait to judge it.
Yeah, Mindy. ONLY 8 million. Are you kidding me? How many you donate that year?
It all goes to charity so it’s a win win for disadvantaged people, plus it makes it safer for them, the paparazzi are so crazy they have to stay secluded with the kids now, once the pictures are released they can move about somewhat. It’s like being prisoners for them, albeit in much nicer quarters – but how crazy.
Charity wins, Dufar refugees win, people in relocation camps win.
Mindy, are you their accountant? Do you have their tax forms, do tell. *snicker*
Re drinking game, anything with the word ‘stealer’ in it. That could trigger a ‘down in one’. Possibly might result in an awful lot of drunkedness tho’ since Angie, according to her enemies, is a very accomplished stealer, what with husbands and orphans and whatnot. Her enemies might use it against us. We need to stay alert. 😯
@Shane,
Shiloh is gorgeous but is wrong with tattoos? Tattoos are only ugly IF they are on ugly people. Tattoos shops should just deny ugly people the right to tattoo unless it is a meaningful tattoo.
The paps harrass Reese’s kids and Jen Garner’s daughter and they were in Halle’s backyard even they have never done a photo with their kids so it doesn’t matter. They will take pics of kids that are popular.
It seems it’s also a win for the Pitt/Jolies-they get press once again for their humanitarian efforts AND they get a big fat tax write off for money they won’t miss and really didn’t earn-unless you count whoring out your newborns as earning.
Do any of you actually read the story before posting?
Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and Christina Aguilera, Matthew McConaughey have all received $ for their baby’s pix.
It is easy to just spew inaccuaracies, do your homework folks.
It’s tiring and stale when you keep changing your user name and hiding behind an ‘anonymous’ status.
Please post a link your prove your accusations, I would love to see it.
How much did you hypocrites give to charity last year?
Can’t have a Margie yet, still drinking coffee.
That’s a really cute pic of Ang & Shi!
But yeah, blah, blah blah. Angelina has more goodness in her little pinkie than most of you Haters have in your whole bodies.
And before the Trolls come out, ask yourself one thing – did you get this frothing-at-the-mouth, rabid, mangy, lost-sight-of-reality ANGRY at McCounahey, Alba, Lopez, Jamie-Lynn or Nicole Ritchie?
Before you start throwing the HIPPOCRAT Bombs, ask yourself if you’re angry that your own life doesn’t meet the impossible standards you set for a set of actors. MmKay?
god its getting tiresome having to defend B and A from the nitwits posting commentary full of inaccuracies, vehemence, misinformation, mis(non)-reading of the entire post. its like flies on sh*% and they dont even read or put two and two together. brangelina has paps in backyard+Halle has paps in backyard=Brangelina is the devil because they sell pictures and give the money to charity and have brought this on themselves. morons! then why does Halle have paps in her trees too?
and X Y and Z celebs all sell baby pics+dont always give money to charity but spend it on red lipstick and cashmere = only brad and angie are evil.
no logic whatsoever
mangy
hahaha, I dont think Ive said that word in a long time but it is a hilarious word to describe the people hating on B and A!
Kaiser,
I’m guessing you’re about 15 so I’ll go light on you. Angie and Brad never reveal where all their babies’ soul money goes. For all we know its paying rent on their French compound and private helicopter. They have not married making their growing breed illegitimates or, more crudely, bastards. That underlies an inherent lack of committment to each other — they know they won’t be together forever or fully committed to each other. Brad has said in VF that he doesn’t believe it’s possible. So, add to that unstable foundation being constantly uprooted,photographed like monkeys in a zoo, and you have some real problems ahead for these poor kids. Yeah, POOR kids. I work with disadvantaged children in the US and 15 million could make a huge difference in their lives. A solid roof,their own bedroom so they could sleep through the night, nutritious meals..etc. Impossible standards for these two morons? How about just decent standards?
😆 How bout all the “variations” of their names? Holie, Pittiful, etc.
bros~ I like your equation! Excellent work.
Me~ thats an impressive rant. For all we know the “babies’ soul money” could have gone to help POOR kids.
They get harshed on for telling the world stuff & then they get harshed on for not telling the world stuff. Just can’t win
You can’t deny she loves her kids. That’s a beautiful photo.
Angelina states that they give 1/3 of their income to charity. According to Forbes Brad Pitt made 20 million last year, Angelina 14 million. 1/3 of their income would be a little over 9 million for one year. So in the last three years they have been together lets say that their income is about that every year (it probably would be close because they have been working alot). For three years that is 27 million plus the baby pictures Shiloh 4 million the twins 10 million. That would mean that they would donate total of 41 million dollars (9 million X 3 years + 4 million + 10 million). I really have not heard that they have donated that much. It is very easy to say that the money is going to charity but who checks up on that? I don’t mind if celebrities keep the money or give it to charity but once you say you are going to it makes you more accountable to where the money is going.
Also selling the pictures doesn’t really seem to stop the paps, infact I think that it makes it worse. However giving a picture to all media for free makes the pictures seem worth less and then there is not the big push for the paps to get that first picture. What would be nic is if they gave the picture for free and donated a few million. Obviously they could afford it and it would be a beautiful gesture.
And I also don’t know if it is a win win situation. These children cannot make their own decisions and it really is their pictures and so their money. The children are the innocent victims here. I do believe that you can keep your family private if you try hard enough. Johnny’s and Matt’s kids are an example. Both incredibly famous most people don’t even know their names or what they look like. It can be done and neither of their sold their children’s pictures for themselves or charity. They actually are great examples.
Kaiser and daisy424 so very, very limited.
man oh man… good thing i picked up a new margarita maker this wknd. this is gonna get ugly.
so they only gave 8Mil to charity the year Shi was born eh? damn thats hella more then most ppl, celbs included give in a lifetime..
haters haters haters… what exactly has Angelina done to create such loathing? such extreme hate????
@”Me” – I’m 28 yrs old, actually. I find it funny that you Trolls can be so creative with finding reasons for your *mangy* hatred, yet be so uninspired with your name. Might I suggest the name “OMGHATERTROLL”
Also, re: “soul money”…
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340208,00.html
I picked that one because I’m assuming Fox News is like The Hater Mothership, right?
Round and round we go. Whee!
Definitely, Bodhi, lots of mileage in that (sadly 🙁 )
Although just reading the posts on here, I think I might actually give it a miss this time because my stomach’s already turning. Where the f*k does this venom come from??? All this hating going nowhere. Just don’t get it. Think I’ll go walkabout for a bit.
@ Me…
So everyone who hasn’t required a piece of paper to validate their feelings and commitment to each other can’t be together for the long term. I call bullsh*t!
And those people who had married parents who moved all over hells half acre when they were young are now unfit parents?
Give your head a shake.
I need a double
Guest OMGHaterTroll, your math is f–ed and your estimates for Brange earnings are wrong. Leave the chalkboard and try again quietly at your desk.
Mangy, Please elaborate.
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filed documents for the Jolie-Pitt Foundation and the numbers are undeniable. While some celebrities squander their money on partying and others use it for questionable purposes (hello Scientology), documentation shows that in 2006, Brad and Angelina put over $8 million into their charity foundation.
Brad put in $4,402,317 while Angie put in $4,123,613.
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is.”

Kaiser, I watch Fox News. Highest rated cable news channel.
Me; Please stop thumping your bible, you’re giving me a headache.
Crap, I’m on moderation.CB?
Jann; Lot’s of salt please.
Daisy,
Ready for that margarita yet? : )
I don’t get it either. the only people I hate that much are Dick Cheney & Karl Rove. And those guys really DESERVE it!
Great link Kaiser. You’d think that would give the Haters some pause, but I’m sure it won’t.
BTW, I think the HATE comes from jealousy, pure and simple. If you can’t imagine giving, of course you’re suspicious of those who can and do give.
It always seems like the ugly, insecure people who react this way to those who are beautiful AND giving. I’m not saying that Jolie is perfect, obviously, she just pisses people off who think they’ve followed all the rules and can’t understand how people who don’t (have kids w/o getting married; get tattoos; have great sex; own their sexuality, travel to exotic places, etc.) get away with it.
It’s not fair and so they stamp their little cloven hooves and cry foul. 👿
Me, you are very very. I always think Bodhi, Daisy and Kaiser are 18 year olds who don’t work. Their posts seem to indicate that between the pretend margaritas.
Larissa, you seem to be confused enough to think that the magazines will pay money from the photos directly to a charity.
Bodhi, your comment stopped me in my tracks – I can’t even think of a person I really HATE as much as the Haters hate on Angie. Sure, I love to rag on Pity Party and Heather Mills. And politically, I despise Rove, Cheney, Gonzo, McCain and The Neocons. But I can’t think of any time I actually spun out of control on a blog or in real life about conspiracy theories, etc.
What is it about AJ & BP? WAIT. Please, don’t answer that, Trolls.
Guest, I’m honestly not trying to pick an argument but could you humour me on something please? – are those figures you gave pre- or post- taxes and expenses? I’m sure the income figures you quote are about right – although 33% of $34million is 11.2million not $9 😉 )
But say if the bulk of those monies are income-taxed at 40%, and removing 20% (pre-tax I believe) for one management team and say 1% (pre-tax) for PAs? that whittles down the overall pot considerably, leaving approximately $13.26 million – 33% of which is $4.37 (+ $4million for the year they sold Shiloh’s photos that would give 8 million for that year alone)
The 15million dollars for the twins’ photos works out at €9.6 million. Ah sure that’s nothing – you’d barely get a pad in the posher parts of Dublin (Ireland) for that (and my God do I wish I was joking) 😐
Personally I disagree with selling the images and think they should have did what Salma did and released a few intimate photos.
I have already said I don’t understand why someone has to sell pictures of their child. Brad was riding in a plane every day to see his missus in hospital. I say ditch the private jets and donate the money to charity. Do you what to say that those celebrities who give pictures for free never donate to charity? If you think a picture will put the paps off, then give the magazine a couple of pictures and let them donate to charity. But getting PR (twice morever, when the pictures are sold and whey they donate to charity) and a tax write off is disgusting. It is disgusting for any parent to trade in their brood.
That said, how come we know exactly how much Brangelina donate down to the last penny? I suspect thier PR machine puts the numbers out for PR reasons. Many celebs donate more and do so quietly.
I am starting to believe that some of those celebrities who sold their baby pictures to magazines donated the money to charity but they do not announce or exploit it of PR reasons. Mind you, your children in a magazine is PR.
Do you realise that those amounts are equal to Jolie’s earnings for last year? This is becoming a business. I doubt it will all go to charity since the previous donations didn’t. Their lifestyles have also become grander. 6 kids, Chateaus and private jets cannot be sustained on 34 million a year. Which is down to 25 after tax. They may need to have a child every year to maintain that life style.
@ Me…
So everyone who hasn’t required a piece of paper to validate their feelings and commitment to each other can’t be together for the long term. I call bullsh*t!
And those people who had married parents who moved all over hells half acre when they were young are now unfit parents?
–marriage is just a piece of paper. Where did you pick up that line – I’ve never heard that one before? Marriage is just a piece of paper…wow, that is so profound. I’m going to write that down – marriage is just a piece of paper.
Some parents moved all around because of their jobs. They couldn’t sell photos of their kids – for some reason they weren’t worth millions to the press?? Crazy world, anyway I think these two move around when they have problems. Which apparently is alot of the times. A new place – yeah that will solve everything. I don’t hate these two – I hate what they represent and what they are selling to the gullible public. Can you discern the difference?
Countrybabe, I was wondering when you would show up with your whining. You’re so ‘deep’, and that goes for you also Me poster.
Your wrong, I am not 18.
You’re right, I don’t work.
My husband and I don’t have to work, we are wealthy. Jealous of me too? 🙂
Kelly/Clover; I post between my pedicures and massages.
Country babe, they are not 18 years old. One is Angelina’s assitant, the other is her brother, the rest a paid bloggers. I guess that is why defend the selling of pictures, part of it is their income. Why would any one defend a stranger like that? I have no problem with Brangelina per se. I just don’t like the way they play us for fools sometimes.
These bloggers, bodhi, syko, kaiser, et al clearly have a vested interest in Brangelina. How can they sit here all day waiting for a Brangelina thread to defend them every day? It must be their day….and evening job. I hope it pays well.
Did I say it was “just a piece of paper”?
I’ll say it slowly so maybe you can comprehend it:
“d o n o t r e q u i r e”.
It’s a personal choice and in no way nullifies their feelings for each other.
Furthermore, a lot of the travelling that AJ & BP do, is because of their jobs…and where they choose to live and for how long is again, their choice.
Kelly & Guest – You do realize that when the voices in your head tell you to post nonsense, lies and bullshit on Celebitchy, you should instead CALL A DOCTOR??!?!
Seriously, I’m with you Geronimo. These Trolls give me a migraine. I’m taking the rest of the day off, BADettes.
Have fun, Haters. Just remember one last thing — You will never, never, NEVER be as beautiful, talented, generous and cool as AJ & BP. Hating on them is a reflection of your own ugliness, not theirs. I’m out.
Can I have dibs on being Angie’s assistant? She’s way prettier than her brother 😆
Now, I know that I’m apparently unemployed because I’ve been told so by one of the other “Antilinas” (which is coming as a bit of a shock to the people who are paying me to work and in turn I’m being totally surprised by spending 10-12 hours a day doing work at a job that I don’t have.)
But let’s pretend it’s a madcap topsy-turvy world where I have a job. Then aren’t I allowed to have a tea or lunch break (in line with employment law) and post late in the evening when I get home?
Do I need to ask your permission to post now?
Pweeese, pweese, pwetty pweeeeeeese?
Damn, you took the good one Mariead!
It interesting that people have moved from bashing AJ&BP to bashing their fellow commenters. I wonder why… But I’ve got to get back to work now, stupid job, getting in the way of the REALLY important things…
If the public does not buy the magazine, the publisher does not make the money to pay them 15 million, they in turn have to dig in their own pockets to give to charity.
CB;
By the time comments are released from moderation, they are irrelevant to the current posts.
Would you be willing to release mine?
I would imagine that they have the companies donate the money directly to the charities. this way they dont hve to declare it as income and the donor get the tax rite off.
countrybabe and Me and Kelly and guest, you clearly dont even realize that on these forums you are the village idiots because your posts are not well researched, made up of misinformation, blind rage, spleen, and apparently, mange.
insulting the other posters and imputing false identities to them makes you look so incredibly lame. can’t you maintain your arguments with facts and well thought out and logical arguments instead of personal insults to other posters when they call you on your BS, like maintaining that at any date past 1945 children born out of wedlock are bastards? is this the spanish inquisition? and dissing on moving around all the time-well, I guess that means you dont support the troops, fools, because military families move around all the time too.
and I guess one of you McBeasties has personal insight as to their moving coinciding with personal problems. you better hang your poster for $10 palm and tarot card readings outside your house because apparently, you are a F&^ck*ing wizard psychic.
“I’ll say it slowly so maybe you can comprehend it:
“d o n o t r e q u i r e”.
Jann, I think the Hater Trolls have scrambled my brain from earlier on today. I’ve been staring at your above response to one of them for about 5 mins, trying to figure out what it says. French? An Italian insult? –
– dono tre quire?
– dono trequire?
– do notre quire?
– until, finally, out of the fog that is my late afternoon brain, emerged the words ‘do not require.’
Thanks for a much needed laugh but WARNING to all BADettes and Loonies: time spent in the company of Hater Trolls can make you really slow and stupid. 😯
question-
why is it that a post that doesn’t shine with love and admiration for A&B is so vehemently attacked? I don’t comment on these particular threads very often because it tends to get personal and nasty. You never see this sort of interaction on stories of other subject matter. I am not particularly enthralled with A&B but I don’t think they are evil incarnate either. Whether you want to admit it or not, looking back at the posts, people who don’t share the love for Angie and Brad say negative things about the couple or their decisions but the Angie and Brad supporters are the ones who started calling the people of “dissenting opinion” names. People are entitled to their opinions, whether you agree with them or not. I guess I don’t understand the need to defend them with such voracity and anger.
answer (maybe)
For me personally, I really don’t care one way or the other. What bugs me and the reason it appears that I take a pro AJ & BP stance is the vehemence of the haters.
It is somewhat amusing to take a coherent logical stance (no matter how many margaritas I’ve had) and watch them spin out of control.
Another take on Jann for anon 69; I do like reading about this couple.
Can’t speak for the others but,
for me it is the hypocracy and inaccuaracies without backing up false claims that tries my patience. (Basic things I have taught my children, not to do)
Changing their post names and patting themselves on the back is dishonest.
Go back a month or so Anon69, don’t base your observation on a few recent threads:wink:
Oh anon69. You know that none of any of this is directed at posters like you, reasonable people who couldn’t care less either way or give a fig about them. You’re not in the habit of posting pure venom.
When the small minority who thrive on hate-filled posts stop, I guess the rest of us will too. It’s not even vaguely entertaining anymore. I’d love to ignore it, I really would, but I can’t. We all have different tolerance levels, just the way it is.
kelly and anon69, I agree with both of you.
I also wonder at Brangelina supporters, it is the same people usually, so abusive and disrespectful. It is ironic because the so called haters rarely insult Brangelina supporters. You realise that this makes Angelina and Brad less popular.
Angelina and Brad have had their time and it is slowly winding down. I agree with Kelly, their lives have become to expensive for philanthropists. In the beginning Angelina shunned this kind of thing. She even hated exposing Maddox to the media. Now she seems to be thriving on it. I wonder what changed.
As for Brad, I was looking at pictures on USweekly and couldn’t help but notice that he used to be happy and carefree. I had forgotten that Brad Pitt. Now he is tense like he is walking on a tight rope. I hope he is trully happy because he is stuck in this forever. Angelina made sure of that by collecting all those kids and effectively trapping him. This relationship is all about the kids.I doubt they would still be together if they had only Maddox and Shiloh. Brad said Jen was the love of his life, I doubt that has changed, I don’t think he looks at Angelina and thinks she is the love of his life now. But he must admire her in his own way but not in love with her. Atleast every one has moved on.
no lola post? why do i even bother to click the title. i love me some lola hatred!
Sooo why don’t the magazines just donate the money? Who gives a fuck about seeing those twins? They are just babies, millions of them are born every day.
Well, looks like I’m really late to today’s Jolie-Pitt thread, which rather sux, as I’d been craving a Silver Petron Texas-style Margie on the rocks, plus I try not to miss any BADette meetings…
@ Bros – Bros, I wanted to thank you the other day for defending me so eloquently upon my own post in Amy Winehouse Rushed to Hospital when I was sharing my “genius theory.” You’re the bomb for that! I wasn’t even gonna go back to that thread, and lost my desire to post comments anymore for a while, but popped by anyway and noticed that, during my absence, several loyal BADettes had come by and given me backup defensive support. Bodhi, Bros, Xiaoecho, thanks for that!
NOW – I want to hire Mairead as my business AND personal accountant, seriously! All that precise and correct natural math-figuring ability, and I can barely long-divide!
Oh, BADettes, the thing about our OMGHaterTrolls here is that, yeah, they’re pretty fukkin’ hate-able all right, but what would we do without them in these JP threads, except kick it and drink all afternoon and have great conversations together… We’d be like knights without anyone to protect and defend! The OMGTrollHaters and perrenial Name-Cangers and the occasional unbalanced lunatic, well they all give us something cool to do, Defend Brad and Angelina!
OH — and $8 MILLIon DOLLars (Doctor Evil holds left pinkie to chin) is an unusually huge annual charity donation sum, HUGE that is. They are not BILLionaires, they’re not Oprah Winfrey-rich or StudioMogul rich, and 8 MILLLIon DOLLArs is a hell of a lot for even the super-staggering billiona ire types to donate on their own, EVERY YEAR. The Jolie-Pitts aren’t merely extremely generous, it’s that they make donating to charities in order to affect positive change in this world is their very straightforward intent. That goes a step furthur than mere generosity, and becomes something nobler and more altruistically pure.
And that header picture is absolutely beautiful. Not a posed shot, I see that Shiloh sees a pap, but Jolie seems not to have seen the photographer yet. Beautiful candid moment, that.
It makes sense that they would sell to People, since People bought the first pics of Shiloh. As a business person I like to do business with the same people if I had good results the first time.
Ditto Anni on the Lola hatred!
hollie, posts like yours are what the brad and angie supporting posts cant understand. you pretty much prove everyone’s point. full of absurd speculation about things so ambiguous and personal and intimate that no one COULD EVER KNOW, so why are you even talking about it like you have some direct line to the couple’s most internal thoughts?
Enough of these two!!! I am getting real tired of picking up a magazine, and it is all about them. What they say and do, who knows??? I think they are on a downward spiral and they want to keep themselves in the headlines,so they keep having kids!!! They love all the attention!!! My advice…stay in France, raise your children, have no more, and Good Luck.
Case in point – anon69’s comment was reasonable. Hollie not so much. She wrote “As for Brad, I was looking at pictures on USweekly and couldn’t help but notice that he used to be happy and carefree. I had forgotten that Brad Pitt. Now he is tense like he is walking on a tight rope. I hope he is trully happy because he is stuck in this forever. Angelina made sure of that by collecting all those kids and effectively trapping him. This relationship is all about the kids.”
As you said anon69, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and is free to disagree or disapprove of AJ&BP’s choices. Scott F comes to mind in that he is of the opinion that AJ&BP’s charity is mostly ineffective because the media focus always seems to be on them and not the charities they support (Hope I’m not misrepresenting his statements in anyway) However he makes his points without wild accusations, gross inaccuracies or acting as if he has personal insight into the Jolie-Pitt’s lives.
Now I’m a go polish my Brangelina shrine. It’s hot like hell today, so I’m gonna pray real hard and see if they can’t make it rain.
The name calling is silly – even if the poster you’re complaining about is spouting ‘inaccurate’ information.
Someone was quoting Wikipedia the other day and something about ‘facts’ in Wikipedia. Since I know Wikipedia isn’t 100% accurate, I mentioned it to the person, but I certainly didn’t call them stupid for not knowing any better. I mentioned it, had a nice conversation about it and moved on.
I do agree with a few of the posters here… those of you who call other posters hateful names (trolls is a really immature one) – may want to consider growing up. No matter how old/mature you profess to be – Everyone is entitled to an opinion – insulting other people for their opinion won’t change anyone’s perspective.
I am SO SICK OF THEM!!!!!
Sick of them and totally sick of listening to you people talk about them-damn,get over yourselves.
Then don’t read the stories or the comments
Why do I get the feeling the Angelina haters are actually one or two people who use different names?
Some of these comments are just far too similar and completely predictable. Get new material, people.
And yes, I’m going to say it again:
The guy who cheated on you wasn’t Brad Pitt and you aren’t Jennifer Aniston.
No deal: get lost, then. Is someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to read the comments on Celebitchy?
I’ll have mine on the rocks, people. Thannnks!
gander: my free advice to you–quit picking up the magazines with them on the cover if it bothers you so much.
Seriously, I don’t even so much as LOOK at a magazine if it has Tom Cruise on it, even if it’s a tiny corner photo. I avert my eyes because he creeps me out so badly.
Try it out yourself. It’s a great thing called free will.
Finally! Three hours later and my massive post clears customs and is off “waiting for moderation.” Bros, Bodhi, Xiaoecho et alia BADettes, didja catch my post? 😀
The thing that some kinds of people cannot, canNOT abide in others is too many beautiful, noble atributes, it makes them have to squint in the glare of their own inadequecies and weaknesses and bitter misfortunes, and that really pisses them off. There are three kinds of people: Those who prefer to hate/dislike, those who prefer to love/like, and those who really don’t give a sh*t one way or the other. I’m the “love” one, I was just born that way, even though I’ve been through more cruel and meaningless trauma in my lifetime that would definitely make a person turn out to be a hater and raging misanthrope in general, but I never had it in me to be able to tip my inner balance from Loves More to the other side, Hates More. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be a natural grouch and disliker and hater of this world.
“Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!”
got it snowblood, no problem. i gotcher back
The only thing that can bring me such passion is people kicking someone for no reason.I don’t see it here.
Holls, Brad said Jen was the love of his life? The shopaholic, psychiatrist seeing Jen? Jennifer is shallow and not pretty. How hard would it be for a cosmoplitan, plane-piloting woman on a mission to win him over? Let us not forget Brad here. Angelina moved his gene pool on. She gave him the best gift a woman could ever give a man. His genes will go on now, and gorgeously so. I know the Angelina die hard hater type. They’re always the women who get intimidated by woman who are better than them. Instead of spending energy making themselves better, they squander that energy on telling lies and spreading gossip about the ‘better’ woman. When I see women ripping Ang apart, I cringe. Yes, you are the vicious little twats who cause problems in offices and in families worlwide. Ever since childhood I have suffered w/your bullshit because I was born with ‘it all’. When I see such hatred against Ang by some women, I think to myself, “Oh look, another not so pretty, miserable do-nothing lazy bitch”. Posting insults about Ang (Angel in French)just makes you look like the envious, unattractive loser you really are.
Snowblood, you and I are very much alike, I’m realizing that the more I read of your posts!
First of all, I’m amazed by how many people waste their time arguing with strangers they’ll never meet. What a waste of energy.
Secondly, that image of the whore and her daughter is not cute. Daughter is cute, whore is trying to fix daughter’s hair for a perfect photo op. That’s what the kids are all about. If not, they would have kept the number of kids at a manageable number and raised them THEMSELVES, not by a bunch of hired help.
As for all people who don’t like them being jealous, grow the hell up. Believe it or not, some people DO NOT want their lives. I for one, have lived my entire adult life, and no, I’m not 15, I’m in my 40’s without once wanting to be a celebrity. Actually, I chose to move from a large city to the country for a nice, quite life. The last thing I’d want to be is a woman who wears blood around my neck, inks up my body and lets strangers raise my kids. Oh, and I really have no interest in the guy she’s shacking up with either. I’ve been married to the same man for almost 25 years and because of the type of man, husband and father he’s been, I still only want him. No fantasy life here – I’m living my own fantasy!
Lastly, whether people like it or not, according the to the actual definition, those childern ARE bastards. No matter how badly you worshippers want to justify their lifestyle, through their own selfishness they have made it possible for people to be able to call SIX more kids in this world bastards. I’m sorry, but no amount of money could make me forgive my parents for being so damn selfish. But then again, I’d be ashamed to call either one of them my parent.
My Opinion. What bastards are so b/c of a ceremony? I doubt you are in your forties. I place you and your stance in the mid-50’s. Your mentality is gone w/the wind. I do so respect monagamy. Being w/the same guy from day one is kind of sweet.However, some us know we can wait for the gold if we stay single. We notice the head turning of others when we walk into a room.I know women who can’t stand even hearing their husbands breathe. Stay together for the kids & mortgage payments. You, my friend, are backwards in your thoughts. I can only hear what you say about adopted people. I bet you are one of those stupid Catholic women who accept the fact that they will always hold a lower ranking. Your raving on bastards is showing your education. I bet you didn’t even graduate from high school.
Nan, bella, you’re such a rockin’ woman – I so loved & felt what you said, there in your post addressed to Holls…
Am I gonna be the last comment entry on this Jolie-Pitt thread? If so, lang may yer lum reek, BADettes (throws down last call Patron shot,) and Never let the turkeys get you down! (and fuk the haters.) ‘Night!
Nan – I suggest that you no longer assume that you know people by what they type. You do a very poor job of juding and make yourself look like a fool.
To begin with, I was born in 1963 so I have several years before I’m in my 50’s. And yes, I was very young when I got married. My husband and I were engagaged when I found out I was pregnant so we married before I had our daughter. Actually, she was born on the very Saturday in October that we had set for our wedding date. Something we still find to be a bit ironic.
When I was a teenager, my group of friends would always comment on how I would be the last of us to get married. This was due to my stance on marriage. It just wasn’t something that I found to be realistic. It seemed impossible that in this world there was a person who I could stand to spend the rest of my life with.
Although I went to a college prep high school, my unusual circumstances in life made college an unrealistic goal at that time. Instead, when my grandmother died not long after I graduated from high school, I moved to another state to help my elderly grandfather cope with losing her. It was at that time when I met the man who would change my life.
You’re so wrong when you say I believe women are beneath men. The fact that my husband sees me as his equal is the very reason our marriage has worked. He’s very secure in who he is, which allows me to succeed in areas that many men would be a bit uncomfortable with.
Currently, I’m earning more money than he is. We both own our own businesses and because mine is doing so well he is able to take some time off to work on a an aspect of his business that he’s wanted to do for over 20 years. I will be the “bread winner” for the next year to give him time to make adjustments. Our daughter is grown and on her own and other than having a bit left to go on paying off our mortgage we have no debt whatsoever. So I can assure you that I am not with my husband for the kids or the mortgage. I am an incredibly self-suffient woman who CHOOSES to be with her husband.
As for my opinion on adoption – Between my siblings there were 2 adopted and 2 natural children. I was one of the adopted children, so technically I was born a bastard, but my wonderful adoptive parents took care of that and made sure I was raised in a secure, loving home. My brother and his wife found out they weren’t able to have children 3 years into their marriage and have since adopted 7 children of all races you can imagine. And my daughter, who had crohn’s disease, knows that her condition is serious enough that she should not risk having children. She has decided that if she wants children, she will adopt. So please, what is it that you want to know about my opinion on adoption? I will gladly provide you with answers from my own personal experience.
As for any comments you have about Catholics, I can easily answer that also. I was raised in a strict Catholic family and after my mother died in 1976, my dad, who was already a permanent Deacon, retired and entered the seminary. He was ordianed a Catholic Priest the day before I graduated from high school. This is why life was a bit odd for me and I chose to not go to college at that time. I had lived alone in my family home for most of my high school years and my house was being sold so I moved into my own apartment the very day I graduated and started a full-time job the next day.
Although my father was a very dedicated Catholic, he understood we were still his children, no matter what decisions we made in life. I became pregnant before I was married and he was there for my husband and I in a very loving and understanding manner. My older sister announced to our family that she was gay a few years later and when she and her partner had a marriage ceremony, my father was there to support and love them.
So please tell me, if you HAD been correct in your assumptions of me, how would that change the fact that their children ARE bastards? Look in any dictionary and you will find the definition. No matter how much you want to change that, you can’t.
As for my thinking being backwards. I really don’t give a damn. I find Angelina and Brad to be disgusting people, both together and apart. And I find their lifestyle to be incredibly selfish. If that makes me backwards, then so be it. If being married for 25 years and still be physically attracted to my husband and my husband only makes me backwards, then so be it. I find it thrilling to still want him after all these years. None of my fears prior to marriage have come true and that’s so wonderful! We have worked in the same home daily for the past 12 years and I have never gotten fed up with having him around. If other women can’t stand having their husbands around, that doesn’t change the fact that I don’t feel that way. And that also doesn’t make me some kind of a freak. It’s just worked that way.
So many people have asked for my advice on marriage and how to make it last and I have nothing to offer them. I still don’t believe that marriage is for everyone and I still believe that if I hadn’t met my husband, I probably still wouldn’t be married. But that doesn’t change the fact that Brad and Angelina have taken on a married life without the commitment of marriage. Therefore, I see them as selfish and not truly caring for the well-being of their children. No amount of insults from you or anyone else will change that.
There are plenty of assumptions I could make about you, but it’s just not worth my time. I’ve listened to people like you many times before in my life and I pity them for having such an empty life. I can clearly see that their “forward thinking” has only made their lives more complicated and certainly not a happier world to live in.
Oh – my – GOD!! That was the LONgest entire-boring-life-story post I’ve ever seen! Emphasis on boring, I had to super speed-read/skim it – no offense, there, “My Opinion,” but MY opinion is that you’re just a silly random goose with boring shite to rattle on about, and that you’re quite possibly a beady-eyed little bitch for insulting our friend Nan. Bitch! Bitter, bilious, boring bitch. That’s just my opinion.
Come now Snowblood, it wasn’t THAT boring… I mean ‘me’ did get pregnant before marriage! That counts for something right?
“That counts for something right?” – No, not with this one here! This one’s a bonified Hater, and as such, she’ll get no points for sex before marriage from MOI. Means nothing whatsoever in the context of this thread about the Jolie-Pitts.
But I think you’re kinda sweet to step up & defend the wretched bitc – er, female canine, although your post actually sounds tongue in cheeck, quite subtle! O.K., now I really am logging off this computer…
To “My Own Opinion” you’re so boring i bet your husband has a mistress coz i don’t think any man can stand to be with you for 24 hours with your non stop ranting.
My Opinion-
Interesting post. With all of your life’s valuable experiences, I do not see where grace or understanding has fit into your life outside your immediate famiily. Brad and Agenlina have both been divorced, and I am sure that fact may have influenced their current decision on how they plan to live their loving lives together.
You are not divorced. Sometimes it is difficult to understand why people make the decisions that they do, especially when we cannot step outsided ourselves and find common ground with other people so that we can relate to one another better. You clearly do not want to relate to B & A as you see them as flawed. Please remember we are all flawed in some way or another; yet it is still possible to achieve greatness in deed and in character. That is what I find so remarkable about B & A. It is a shame that you cannot see what so many others do see.
Hollie-
If Jen was the “love of his life” then his actions would have proven that to be the case. As you can tell by his decisions and actions, there exists a greater love.
First of all, ‘my opinion’, I get were you are coming from but calling a child a bastard is totally disrespectful and hurtful, no matter who their parents are. Secondly, taking the romantic idea of it aside, marriage is in fact just a piece of contract, no matter how much religion and romantic movies have sugar coated it into this fairytale image.
However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion as long as they are respectful, which brings me to some of you regulars here (Snowblood, Anastasia, Bodhi, bros, geronimo, daisy424 and couple of others) who have become so annoying and rude that it sours the complete thread. You seem to have formed a group were you feel that attacking other bloggers is amusing to you, this shows a lack of intelligence and maturity on your part and because it seems to be so many of you, you have the advantage in out numbering others, which is unfair. If YOU do not lack a comment then move quickly down but do not act like children by name calling someone then walking of with out managing to at least make the effort to first engage in a intelligent conversation. As I said before, there is a difference between debating with someone and just foolishly attacking them for no substantial reason what so ever.
I was not going to comment again in this thread and especially name and shame some of you but reading this post, as much as I tried to strolled down to some of your comments there were just too many and the only people who try to put their reasonable opinion in, you still manage to attack them. If this does not stop then I am asking Celebicthy do something about it ones in for all because thanks to you this web site is quickly turning to Tmz.
Snowblood, loved your ‘make love not war’ post at 1:32. So true. Guess those of us who are inately that way won’t be ending up with the ulcers and bile-related illnesses that those who love to hate definitely have in their futures.
@Enonymous – bit pompous and finger-wagging, that.
Wouldn’t have bothered responding but since you included me in the suspect line AND accused us of walking off without responding intelligently, I felt obliged to. And I’m sorry, but threatening us with the wrath of CB….?? We’re her hard drinkers. If this were a pub, we’d be her best customers.
Enonymouse, I agree with you totally.My Opinion, thank you for sharing your experiences. But calling little children bastards is out of line. They are innocent after all and did not choose their parents.
I understand it does not feel good when you are a fan of someone and that someone is attacked but why do people feel the need to be so hateful. These people are strangers. You are doing them no favours when you are vicious to other people. Actually, I am starting to look at them from the eyes of their bully fans. Calm down, it is only a gossip blog site. Not an avenue for venting your anger and hate on other posters. Like it or not, many people do not love this couple. Hurling insults at them is not going to scare them into loving Brangelina. Some think they are fake, you think they are gods. So be it. Every one is entitled to their opinion. Isn’t that what blogging is about? Let them know why you love these two and let them say why they despise them. Maybe your arguments will win some posters over. No need to get nasty.
@my opinion. Thank you for sharing aspects of your life with all of us. I realize the length of your post is due to ignorant people who mock others for seeing a psychiatrist, but will subsequently log on to this website and provide armchair psychology about all of our personalities. I’m beginning to agree with CB… this is no longer annoying – it’s actually laughable.
@enonymous – I agree with your post about the crappy behavior of some of the posters you’ve mentioned. They seem to think they own the rights to comments on this thread. However, some of them do seem to have some sense – chat with them about another subject other than Brangelina and you’ll find them to be fairly decent souls. I do wish they’d look in the mirror though… the attacks they launch are quite ridiculous and remind me of juvenile children ganging up on a schoolyard child because their clothes don’t match what they deem to be appropriate. Time to grown up and respect others.
I started this post with the intention of laughing about the armchair psychology but the name calling quickly turns my laughter sour. Please read the comment policy above the comment box people… this stuff is considered unacceptable.
So basically none fans here are saying that it is OK to bash and rant on the JPs and their innocent kids but not ok if the JP fans respond?
That’s it, Reality Check. In a nutshell.
It’s a mystery to me how those that so clearly see the side of the extreme non-fans seem to be completely blinkered when it comes to how the former’s viewpoint impacts on how the fans, the ‘neutrals’, the ‘couldn’t care lesses’ etc react.
We apparently are the cause and they apparently are the reaction. One of life’s great mysteries.
What on earth are you talking about Reality Check and geronimo, no one has ‘bashed’ the kids or even JP personally and the one person who did a little, we, as you call us ‘the non-fans’ quickly called that person out on it. Geez, you people are the extremists here and would come up with all kind of nonsense in order to feel that you have a reason to attack and bash someone. 🙄
perhaps Geronimo they want the haters to post happily with their hate just so they are justified in saying that Brad & Angelina is hated by many people and on the downhill just to quote a few posters here 😉
Enonymous:
My post was nothing to do with you, it was a weary response to Reality Check’s post which, in turn, as I read it, was a general response not directed at any specific poster. Had I been talking to you, I’d have addressed my post to you. Who’s jumping in now with their hasty ill-informed remarks, eh??
@Reality, lol, AND so they can provide links elsewhere to this and other AB threads on this site to ‘prove’ how hated they are! Stats gathering! I think you’ve cracked it. 😆
🙄 I read CB daily – and I now find myself avoiding the AJ/BP articles because it has gotten so weird in here. It seems everyone has lost the thread. No one knows these people personally. Period. Like or dislike them – but this thread is so obnoxious and argumentative. We all have a right to our opinions and people need to get a life and be more respectful.
No matter how you slice it or dice it. Love or hate AJ and BP 10 – 15 million spent on baby pix is reprehensible and shows how shallow our values have become. We are in a recession and people are losing their homes. It’s lame.
Oh good Lord… my migraine has cleared up since yesterday, but I see the hate has remained.
This is yet another Jolie-Pitt post that evolved way past usefulness. Enonymous, RAN, Annette, Hollie, countrybabe, “my opinion” : You guys can whine, cry and throw your little “META” Pity Parties all you want on this thread. It is simply the same old mangy hatred and sociopathy as all the other AJ & BP threads. You’re pathetic and you hate being called on it. Enough is enough. At some point, just stop reading. Stop whining. Stop the Pity Party. It’s enough. It’s been done.
shiloh is so cute 🙂
Kaiser, exactly, enough is enough, all of you should stop being so childish by attacking people like they did something to your own family. Jesus, Angelina and Brad would not even piss on you all even if you were on fire and yet you all act like insane people whenever someone says a bad word about them. You are the pathetic ones and it shows it. Grow up.
Do not bother commenting back because I am getting bored with trying to reason with delinquent children. Just remember one thing, people come here to cool off from the stress of daily life and want to enjoy themselves, not to be constantly insulted by some random weirdos on the web.
i
My Opinion – your posts were quite interesting in themselves, and you’ve a wealth of life experience that can provide a fascinating insights in threads – so I do look forward to reading more. But surely you must realise the effect of calling 6 young children a term which has come to be an insult. For example, do you regularly call the female genitalia the “c*unt” even though it’s an older and more inclusive term than vagina which is the birth canal? The main reason to use it nowadays is to insult or shock.
Enonymous – I don’t disagree with most of what you say. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I personally don’t care if someone doesn’t like them, or if they criticise a questionable (and verifIable) decision made about this or any other couple – but for some reason the criticisms come across as being made from fantasy than reality.
And as for name-calling and insulting others – yes that does happen (and I don’t particularly approve), but please concede that it works both ways. For example, I have been told time and time again that I “worship” them or think Angie is a “saint”. I’ve said on more than one occassion that that’s not the case. So when I’m told what i think the person saying it is either calling me a liar in a passive-aggressive manner or they are telling me I am too bloody stupid to know my own mind.
Either option is very insulting and i’m not going to be too worried about the feelings of the person who will dish it but won’t take it.
Kaiser & Mairead, couldn’t have said it better myself. Well done 😉
My Opinion: Yawn…..
Enonymous dear: You need to get some new material. Look up the word hypocrate in the dictionary, describes you to a T.
This is Celebitchy, not Enonymousy.
Ummm, Woa. Totally tried to keep outta this one, (except for a Troll reference above, when it was still just poking fun, I thought. 😯 ) but I just want to say that calling little children bastards isn’t cool and that’s why the reaction. Surely that’s an understandable reaction, no?
Also, as far as the bastard/marriage thing, I thought I heard the JP’s say that they weren’t to be married until ALL PEOPLE can be married legally in this country. Isn’t that the kind of inclusive thing that “My Opinion” was praising her Catholic father for? Supporting her gay sister in her (presumably illegal) marriage to her lover? I actually think a lot of us are saying the same things but we’ve stopped listening to each other.
(BTW “My Opinion” I didn’t find your post boring at all, it took time and thought to respond and I actually appreciate that a lot 😀 (even though I’m apparently a Brangeloonie 👿 )
Yawn, I’m outie.
Daisy, it’s the same thing over and over with some of you. You never tire of talking about how wonderful these two are. Some of us simply choose to see them for the opportunistic, baby pimping slags that they are. It’s okay for Kaiser to rip Nicole Kidman to threads and accuse her of not being a caring mother and to even fake her pregnancy, yet, everytime someone posts anything about the skankalina and stupitt he goes ballistic. Unchecked love for celebrities is not healthy or normal. Maybe, soome of you should get some meds.
okay. so posters who like the jolie-pitts, point out the irrational, illogical, delusional, violent, badly spelled missives of the haters. then the haters turn around and quote the defenders own arguments back at them, sounding like kids on the playground chanting, “you’re the haters, the way-too-serious, the violent crazies, not us!” and think that because they said it, it makes it true. how sad. chill out and have a drink. make it a milk if that makes you feel more virtuous as you’re calling innocent babies names like “bastards”.

For those of you who were so upset by my long post – thank your friend Nan for that. She so ignorantly made assumptions about who I am and what I belive so I took the time to show her how incredibly wrong she was. I can assure you I didn’t write one word of it to entertain you or to make you interested in who I am. You are the very people I have avoided all my life, why would I want your approval?
As for the so-called name calling. The word bastard can be a name that someone calls another person or it can be the true definition of who a person is. I did not call their children ANY names. They are the innocent people involved in the selfish lives of Brad and Angelina. I have personally watched, with my own eyes, what it takes to adopt a child in our country. Angelina’s very recent past alone should have prevented her from being allowed to adopt. If it weren’t for her fame and money, her application wouldn’t have made it past the receptionist at any reputible adoption agency.
And for those of you who had kind words to say to me. Thank you very much for taking the time to do so. This was my first time visiting this site, but after seeing what goes on here, I will choose to visit other sites instead. Some of these freaks are completely out of control and need some serious help before they should be allowed to share their thoughts and opinions on any public message board.
Yikes. Thank you Snowy. OK, I’m gonna be honest & it’s not pretty.
Day-em, My Opinion. That is the longest post in the history of posting. I wish I had my webcam on in my laptop while reading it. The shifts in positions, the flipping of hair. It took so long for me to read it that at one point I had to unplug the thing (wish we could do cam on this site)and walk it into the bathroom, place my computer on the edge of the jacuzzi & take a dump. I was even wiping & bending over to read it at the same time. Then, I washed my hands, picked up laptop & plugged it back in on my desk. You know what? I was still reading the novella!
Just don’t care for your use of ‘bastard’. I’m not being offensive here when I say that I could ‘just tell’ that I was better educated than you. I’m probably better looking than you & more traveled, to boot. Being an adoptee yourself, you should be ashamed for throwing out the word bastard like you have here. I suspect this is because you are angry at your biological mother. Think about it. She was probably young & confused & probably thinks about you every day. We may not agree here, on this thread, but I am sure we will agree somewhere on here, eventually. p.s. I was good right? I guessed the education & religion. Gotta give me points for that.
bet you are one of those stupid Catholic women who accept the fact that they will always hold a lower ranking.
WTF Nan, don’t speak about things you don’t know. Catholic women DO NOT think they hold a lower ranking, we were just taught not to make marriage or any relation with a man a war of sexes. A relationship between a man & a woman should be of equals it is taught in Catholic schools. I don’t know were you got that outdated idea, even the writings of the current pope say this.
Other than that, continue slamming the senseless haters. 10-15 million dollars will go to charities that needs it.
wfb, WAKE UP. I’m not talking about personal relationships between a man & a woman. I am stressing the fact that a woman can never be a priest, bishop, pope. Is that okay w/you in this day & age? Like I’ve said before, bend over, The Vatican will kick you up the ass, woman!
Enonymous:
Wow calling the fans weirdos what about people who have so much hate example this one.. tell me what do you call this person:
mangy:
July 31st, 2008 at 10:23 pm Daisy, it’s the same thing over and over with some of you. You never tire of talking about how wonderful these two are. Some of us simply choose to see them for the opportunistic, baby pimping slags that they are.

I guess this person should consult a SHRINK because uncheck hatred towards a celebrity is very, very disturbing .. remember JOHN LENON??
I am not a poster, but had to on this one. Brad & Angelina are two ppl who
deserve everyone’s admiration and respect. They give endlessly and tiredlessly of their finances and their
time to help those less fortunate. As
far as selling the photos, the pappa’s
will get them one way or another. So why not??? show everyone what they are
wanting to see (two beautiful gifts
from God) and helping others at the
same time? Geez ppl. If only the
haters had as much love and humanity
in their hearts as the Jolie-Pitts’,
just think how our world could change.
Which is exactly what they are trying
to help do. God bless them. They are
two amazing and beautiful (inside and
out) people.
P.S. “myopinion”…I really believe
that you did Not realize that you
called your own daughter a “bastard”.
Whether you married or not, she was
conceived when you were not…married.
Sorry hun, but I believe your “opinions”
, if one reads your life history closely, to be full of hypocrisy. You
seem to be the type that would cast the first stone while hiding behind your
own self-induced hypocrisy. Just my
opinion.
Nan, way to make this a religion discussion. I’m sorry if the church isn’t a democracy, her membership is voluntary so if you don’t understand why they cannot make women priests, bishops or pope the door is always open if you want to leave. This is a gossip blog so I will not go in depth on the matter, but quit writing off your b@tt.
i don’t post too often here, but some people do remind me of people i try to avoid in life, i agree with nan’s earlier post, these miserable name calling jealous unattractive people are always hateful, let’s face it, happy people are positive, miserable people are hateful, calling Angelina, brad, and their children names is so juvenile and hateful, i did not read that too long of a post because as i said before, i avoid those types of miserable people, they call this family horrible names and then turn right back around and complain about everyone else for doing exactly the same thing they did, this couple should be commended for their efforts.
Shit, it is late here in ‘Ol New York. I’m high as a mofo & it’s gonna strike 1 soon. Even if I agree or disagree on this site I still thank you all for being a bit classy, no matter what. Even the people on here that I don’t agree with…I still like & look forward to their posts. See? I’m high as a mofo & I can still discern ‘tween there, their & they’re. Gotta give credit where (not were or we’re mind you)credit is due. You all make this site best.
SG, check it out, I hit refresh & there you were. Yes, thank you for noticing. Most attractive people are pretty in soul. This is for everyone: Most attractrive people are not angry with others and life. ‘Cause they are attractive. Too high to go on. Really, think about the attractive (for real) people. They never really hated yet would be hated by so many(losers).
Reading these Celebitchy AJ/BP/JA comments is like sitting on a bench in a zoo reading a copy of War and Peace… It’s always frankly too long but the monkeys are entertaining.
It’s stupid and narrow minded to say everyone should respect BP and AJ. Why do you always get the same tired arguments about these two? If you don’t like them it’s hate, or your are ugly and physically unattractive, or you are a JA lover. Stupid Brangie lovers who can’t accept that their idols are not universally loved. That shows how childish, stupid, and crazy some of you are. Really deserving of the moniker loon.
yawn yawn. 49 year old daisy, kaiser and mairead are at it again defending their precious angie. about somone saying that we’re not jennifer anniston and brad didnt cheat on us, so we have to wait for people to cheat on us to dislike these people? geezz!!
it seems like the more brangeloonies defend them, the more haters AJ and BP get. 49 year old mature Daisy, Kaiser and Mairead seem to be one of the few ones who keep on defending them. maybe they’ve been the ‘other person’ before and feel the need to defend these kind of people. im just saying because they dont seem to accept other people’s opinion, this has become a cyber war between brangelina fans and brengelina haters when there’s actually nothing to argue about. i thought we get to give our own opinions on this site but somehowm these people get to defensive. geez. seriously brangeloonies need to calm down. there’s no need to use perosnal attacks on people just because they simply dont agree with you. to each their own right?
@Clover – You do realize Angelina played a character named Clover in The Good Shephard, right? That must be devastating…
Person close to deal: Jolie-Pitt pix for $14 mil
By ERIN CARLSON
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Exclusive photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins fetched $14 million, a person involved in the negotiations told The Associated Press, giving People magazine and a British tabloid joint rights to publish the most expensive celebrity pictures ever sold.
The person asked not to be named because he was not authorized to release the figure. People will feature twin babies Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon in an issue to hit newsstands Monday, spokeswoman Nancy Valentino said Friday.
The money – more than double the $6 million People paid for Jennifer Lopez’ twins on a March cover, according to Forbes – will go to a foundation created by Pitt and Jolie that largely focuses on helping children around the world.
It’s the second time the celebrity weekly won the North American rights to the couple’s first-look baby pictures, and the third time they’ve worked with the two magazines in exchange for a hefty donation to charity.
“We’re thrilled to be able to feature these pictures in People,” managing editor Larry Hackett said in a statement.
People will split the bill with London-based Hello! magazine, which has worldwide rights; particulars of the division were not disclosed. People.com will unveil the first photo online Sunday evening.
Even before the babies were born July 12 in Nice, France, the speculation began over which celeb mag would come out on top of an inevitable bidding war. The couple ultimately chose to go a familiar route with its joint deal between People and Hello!, with Getty Images as the photographer and go-between.
People ponied up a reported $4 million donation for the U.S. rights to the first shots of their daughter Shiloh, now 2 years old, while Hello! obtained the British rights. And last year, the couple sold intimate shots of their son Pax, then 3 years old, to Hello! and People.
Getty Images, which was involved in the Shiloh deal, also took part this time around. In a statement, Getty co-founder and CEO Jonathan Klein said his company was “delighted that all proceeds from these stunning images will once again be donated entirely to charity.”
When People the published six photos of Pitt, Jolie and baby Shiloh in June 2006, the issue moved 2.2 million copies, its biggest seller at the time going back to its 4 million-selling 9/11 special, Media Week reported at the time.
Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, established their foundation that year. They donated $1 million in June to The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict to help children affected by the war in Iraq. Last year, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave more than $300,000 to support the International Rescue Committee’s relief program for Darfur refugees.
haha never watched good sheperd. never botehred for her movies. but seriously, what a coincidence
“they only gave 8 million that year”
Mindy, you’re seriously got problem critizising people giving away their hard earned money. Only 8 million, how much have you donated, brat.
Grow up and shut UP.
Okay well,ya know i applaud Brad and Angie.How many can balance a career and that many kids and still keep a happy relationship going.Secondly,being movie stars as they are they know that the press would be hounding and giving even less privacy than before so why not use the pictures to give back to those less fortunate.
For those that do not know Brad did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth and i applaud him for being a stand up guy and giving those boys an example of what a true man is and a true man is confident and takes care of his kids.Whether they be blood or not.God has blessed them with three adopted children and three of there own.How blessed those children are to have parents that truely love them and would do anything to keep there kids safe.
There is a very very great difference of Brad Pitt and Mark Anthony…Its good that they have paid sum for their twins photo…And Brad and Angie get more in bidding…Brad is very very popular than Mark and so Angie tto Jennifer Lopez..a far cry in differfence in popularity and fame…So stop comment that the Brangelina gets a huge sum for the photo of their twins..They deserve more so to say…Anyway they arfe giving this sum of money to charities of theie favorites…Isnt that a good sign that they are very humanitaarian?…What about Lopez and Mark????
