Brad Pitt defends Angelina: there was no ‘dastardly affair’

bradw1
Oh, the Uncool Bermuda Triangle, will it ever end? Not while there’s still breath left in a gossip columnist, it won’t. Brad Pitt sat down with W magazine to talk about his film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, his partner Angelina and their kids, and of course, the ex-wife. (The complete interview is available here.)

Brad, per usual, does a half-decent job defending both his ex and his current partner. He refers to Aniston as “a sweetheart” and insinuates that yes, Vogue was “tabloid” (Aniston’s words) by emphasizing the whole “uncool” comment. Brad saves his sweetest words for the mother of his children though, agreeing with Angelina’s previous “uncool” statement that she wants their kids to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith to see the film where their parents fell in love. Brad says, “We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful. [The film] will mean something to our kids. It will, that’s all.”

The Huffington Post culled some of the best quotes from the W interview, so I’ll just use their version:

Brad Pitt defends partner Angelina Jolie, denies she’s a homewrecker in the February issue W Magazine. Pitt met Jolie on set while still married to Jennifer Aniston, whom he calls “a sweetheart.” He also talks gay marriage and quitting smoking.

On the public’s misinterpretation of his and Jolie’s “affair”…
“What people don’t understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year. We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful. [The film] will mean something to our kids. It will, that’s all.”

On Aniston’s recent comment that it was “uncool” for Jolie to openly state that she and Pitt fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith…
“Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there’s a second round to all of that Angie versus Jen. It’s so created.”

On his current relationship with Aniston…
“We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don’t see how there cannot be [that]. That’s life, man. That’s life.”

On photographing Jolie for W magazine’s November 2008 photo spread…
“We have fun working together; these things bring you closer. And let me tell you, it’s really sexy to see your loved one through the lens. I went much further [than the cover shot of Jolie breast-feeding]. I didn’t show those.”

On how family life has changed him…
“I quit smoking. That was the only thing that got me to quit. That was it. Done.”

On gay marriage rights…
“People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying. What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.”

[From The Huffington Post]

CB wanted me to mention that Brad continued the Uncool Bermuda Triangle with his recent interview to the Los Angeles Times, saying that his life was “a dead end” before fatherhood and before Angelina. Even though my first thought when I read that piece was that Brad was referring to life with Aniston as a “dead end”, it’s open to multiple interpretations. I interpret Brad’s actions and words post-Aniston-Vogue interview as all about defending Angelina and their family, as he should. Of course his words will be analyzed and re-worked to suit everyone’s agendas. But I’ve never been one to mind – I like both Brad and Angelina in interviews, and this Benjamin Button press tour has been one of Brad’s best.

    He is such an amazing human being. He is so polished and what a beautiful heart !! I really adore him, he is a true class act !!!!!!

  2. Abby says:

    i hate the way they edited the cover shot for W. he looks awful.

    otherwise, i think he handled himself well.

  3. HEB says:

    Brad Pitt can not be old!!!! How could they do this to us??

  4. Jeane says:

    Finally. He is the one in the middle of this triangle and yet the one we hear the least about. It’s about time he stepped up and made some statements defending both Angie and Jen, instead of letting them fight it out.

  5. Susan says:

    I know that when Jennifer mentioned the triangle many said that she should quit talking and just say “I am not discussing this it is old news”. Don’t you Brad/Angie fans think that Brad should have done the same? It is kind of hyprotical to think that Jen should be quiet while Brad/Angie have every right to talk about this whenever they want. Perhaps Brad enjoys this whole triangle thing – it was stated that if jennifer wanted this to end she should be quiet – obviously same goes for Brad. Remember the shut up Jen posts. Wonder if you will see these regarding Brad?

    Also do you guys actually believe that Brad/Angie did not have an affair? Brad this is getting old. Perhaps they did not physically have an affair but I think that everyone would agree that Brad/Angie had an emotional affair and that played into the ending of his marraige. I realize that he could never admit this as he would lose his 40+ year old female fans, but I really cannot believe that that these older women fall for his lies all the time. And how was this handled respectfully. Does he really believe that the W shoot was respectful?

    “Brad saves his sweetest words for the mother of his children though,” What were his sweetest words for Angie – I read the article and he didn’t mention her directly at all.

    And as for Brad protecting his family. Think again this interview was all about making Brad look good. Brad is and has always protected himself. He doesn’t say one word about Angie directly in this interview, he calls Aniston a “sweetheart”, he states he had no affair – while everyone knows he did. Well played – and all the older women swoon!

  6. Sunny says:

    *slowly opens door, peeks around room, eases out, and tiptoes away*

  7. Jeane says:

    btw, he is not aging well…

  8. Rosanna says:

    Hope he grows up and realises who JA is

  9. Mayi says:

    However they want to frame it they had an affair and he cheated. END OF STORY. They have both worked so hard to believe they didn’t do anything wrong they both hate when they are reminded of it. You can’t hide from yourself. I think deep down it is a turn off to each other that they started the relationship by hurting someone else. They are not all evil. Angelina has a hard time looking at herself in the mirror because she did exactly what her dad did to her mom.

  10. Sue D. Nimm says:

    Before I join Sunny, I have a question: Aren’t magazine shoots meant to make you look, you know, attractive?

  11. Baholicious says:

    Check out ol’ Boot Leather Brad. Jolie’s sucked all the mojo right out of him.

  12. Bellatrix says:

    You can’t help but think that, indeed, Clooney is the prettiest one of these two when you these pictures of Brad…

  13. Cha Cha says:

    Ok, I used to like him, and every time he talks, I like him less and less. I remember almost right after the tabloids got hold of the news that he cheated on Anniston and was with Jolie, he did a cover with Angelina posing as a family, bbqing in a backyard. How is that in any way respectful?! Everyone was in an uproar about that and that’s when the quote of him lacking a sensitivity chip came out.

    Moreover, he talks as if he and Jen are friends and talk often. She came out and said they don’t really talk. That’s the second time he’s tried to play ‘they’re buddies’ card.

    Come on Brad, do you take us as idiots?
    Say whatever you need to say to win that oscar, buddy. Most of us see right through you and you’re doing more harm than good to your image.

  14. saffron says:

    Life is a dead end without children. It’s a dead end for your DNA and for your spirit. I don’t understand how everything celebrity is constructed and deconstructed in such sophomoric ways.

    How does one interpret the “dead end” comment as referring to Jennifer?

    Anyway, they broke up years ago. People, work on yourselves and let this go. Celebrity culture is supposed to be fun entertainment, not therapy for you to work through your own issues. You’re not Jennifer. You’re not Angelina. They are separate from you. You don’t need to get all emotional about them.

  15. Sauronsarmy says:

    Cha Cha: “Come on Brad, do you take us as idiots?”

    Have you ever been to a site called “justjared”?

  16. susan says:

    I LOOOOVE Chuck Close’s work. these are great of Brad. Still pretty, great bone structure, but a life well lived-you can see it.

  17. Codzilla says:

    As usual, his hair looks ridiculous.

  18. Cha Cha says:

    Sauronsarmy: Have you ever been to a site called “justjared”?

    No, I’ve heard of it though. Not sure what your comment is supposed to mean.

  19. t says:

    If what was at least an on set emotional affair was not consumated before BP left JA for AJ, it is only because AJ, the master manipulator, was pulling his puppet strings right from the start.

    She may have withheld the sexual part of their affair to get BP cut all ties to Aniston just to be sure she didn’t end up a fling. I don’t think it was because she was trying to be “respectful” or “handle it well”.

    I think it’s so funny that AJ seems so desperate to rewrite their history to erase the fact that Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston when they fell in love. It’s like she can’t bear to have his name linked to anyone but hers…like she’s afraid Jennifer’s name will come up forever when Brad’s is mentioned.

    Maybe she should quit with the rewrites and just accept the fact that she is raising six kids with Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband.

  20. monica says:

    he’s so full of it and needs to STFU, if anyone needs to.
    talk about dragging this story out. i think he’s just trying to look good around oscar time.
    there are too many contradictions in his stories. too many flip flops.
    first he and ja don’t keep in touch, now they do.
    he didn’t have an affair but he and aj fell in love on the set of MAMS, which if is true and he’s using the reshoot as the time line of four days in March of 2005 (4 days to fall in love and start an affair/love life/).
    he’s so full of it.
    by the way. dlisted’s MK’s take on this story is much much better. and funnier.

  21. monica says:

    and he does look terrible but i thought…at least he’s not all botoxed up like everyone else.
    well, these must have been taken way before because now he is all botoxed up and it looks even worse.
    granted…i’m one of those people who never thought he was that good looking.

  22. Baholicious says:

    …and he forgot to say ‘dagnabbit!’ after “dastardly affair.”

  23. Mairead says:

    Love the pictures; he’s finally getting some character in his face.

    I wish they’d all shut the hell up about 2004. It’s beyond dull and irrelevant. Whether or not it’ll have any effect on the box-office and DVD sales is one thing, I seriously doubt whether this will have any effect on his awards chances.

    Everyone knows that it’s the quality of the goody-bag coming with the big films that holds more sway over whether the actors indulged in any extra-curricular activities.

  24. Liz says:

    The HuffPo article also says:

    ON WHAT MOTIVATED HIS REQUEST FOR PHOTOGRAPHER CHUCK CLOSE, WHO USES A TECHNIQUE CALLED DAGUERREOTYPE THAT CAPTURES EVERY FINE LINE AND FLAW, TO SHOOT HIM… “[to not have to be] the guy coming out of the ocean water with his T-shirt wet, even though I’ve done that, too, but have always walked away feeling a little crap about it.”

    I liked that a lot.

  25. geronimo says:

    Although I’ve never found him attractive, his face is much more interesting now that it’s got some character. I like the pics.

    Nothing against the J-Ps but I really hope this is the last interview where he talks about his relationship/s – just can’t be arsed with the responses to what is now the most tedious, pointless, boring triangle in the history of tedious, pointless, boring triangles.

    @Monica – rude. Why bother to comment here if dlisted is so much better? Perhaps you’d care to write something for us? No? Thought not. Maybe you should put up or shut up?

  26. Zoe says:

    Sunny: *slowly opens door, peeks around room, eases out, and tiptoes away*

    *dabbing at claw marks and angry about lost patches of hair* …whispers, “Sunny, wait for me damnit! And you girls back there hiding in the curtains, quick, I’ll cover you, we can come back later with reinforcements and butterfly nets*

  27. monica says:

    because i can.
    i think it’s fun to come here and read the post and have a different opinion. i can have a different opinion, right?
    this isn’t an exclusive “we love brad and angie” club is it?
    i didn’t think so.

  28. geronimo says:

    “dlisted’s MK’s take on this story is much much better. and funnier.

    We both know you know I was referring to this.

  29. hmm says:

    I’d rather see the real person than some airbrushed illusion that in no way reflects reality. It’s funny because every time a cover comes out that is clearly photoshopped we kvetch and ridicule and when someone is honest we say, “OMG he looks so old.”

  30. mins15 says:

    I have no respect for anyone in this triangle. BP, AJ, and JA all use the story when they have something to promote.

  31. kate says:

    brad and angie need to STFU already. these two are constantly blabbing on and on and on about their private lives. which, by the way, are supposed to be …you know…private.

  32. morgs says:

    he looks like a dead civil war soldier in his daguerreotype.

    And I completely agree with Monica; MK at Dlisted’s take on these photos and comments is effing hilarious.

    Brad and Angie, please take your burgeoning child army and cede away quickly.

  33. so what says:

    I believe they had an affair, physical and mental…and he in no way, shape, or form, was classy in how he ended his marriage to Jen…He and AJ, both, threw thier relationship in Jens face..hes just trying to do damage control, and its not working.

  34. monica says:

    thank you morgs…i don’t know what the big deal is…
    some people are so sensitive.
    i agree with he damage control statement. he’s statements are so off and conflicting. does he even think before he talks? he’s obviously just saying it to bring more attention to his movie. i don’t think it’s working the way he wants.
    i would be surprised if that movie recoups back the money it spent to make it (which would technically make it a bomb). i please don’t tell me how artsy and whatever it is…. i’ve already seen forrest gump, i odn’t need a crappy remake. thanx

  35. LoL says:

    what other A list man has to talk about his personal life so much? I swear he must be the only male celebrity who is constantly in the tabloids. You rarely see Johnny Depp or George Clooney doing so many personal interviews for one mediocre movie.

  36. LoL says:

    I think Brad lives for attention and I also disagree with him when he says he handle it in a respectful way. No way! he let both women take the heat in the tabloids while he stayed quiet in the background like a jerk.

  37. C says:

    LoL
    Well at least Johnny Depp and George Clooney don’t cheat on their wives.

  38. Kaiser says:

    Oh! It’s getting personal in here! Nothing like a Brangelina thread to bring out the claws.

    I like the interview. Brad sounds like a real sweetheart.

    *ignoring the bullshit*

  39. Starla says:

    CB, where is my post????

  40. LoL says:

    C? huh? My post was not against Johnny Depp Or George Clooney. what I meant was JD and GC don’t need to pimp their relationships or family as much as Brad does to sell their movies.

    Brad is pretty much a tabloid star. The only man in the tabs every week. LoL

  41. melonie says:

    Hello RATIONALIZATION.

    Wow, the human brain is really amazing how it explains away the lie.

    Brad cheated. Angelina Jolie is an adultress. End of story.

    You can adopt 100 children and procreat 40 more, but it doesn’t change the facts.

    Character traits don’t change!

  42. Tess says:

    Brad Pitt’s developping the same slightly haunted/hunted look in his eyes that the Duke of Windsor had after years of aimlessly traippsing around the world with his wife, Wallis Simpson, the twice-divorced American socialite-wannabee he gave up the Crown of England to marry.

    Some women suck the life right out of a guy.

  43. NotBlonde says:

    Brad: Shut. Up.

  44. Sunny says:

    Sue D., Zoe, lol
    Let’s roll…

  45. morgs says:

    I think W magazine has a hard on for Brad Pitt and Angie Jo. But I will admit that his shoot for W to promote Fight Club made me have naughty dreams.

    W magazine needs to boycott Brad/Angie/ and Jeurgen Teller for at least a year!

  46. aleach says:

    these 3 loooove the attention that this “love triangle” brings them. if they didnt, they would all just STFU about it already & move on.
    if they dont want to talk about it, and keep their personal lives private like they all say, just answer with a “no comment”!
    i wish they would all go away forever.
    and he looks like hell on that cover.

  47. Judy says:

    NO matter what he says there are always going to be the bitter little women sitting at home living their lives thru Jennifer LOL Alway will be bitter that some guy dumped them for someone better looking or better body and so when Brad left Ja they of course pretend thqat they are JA and go after Brad and AJ roflmao..listen to them lol just listen to their bitter drivel.

  48. PJ says:

    If Brad handled the love triangle and breakup so well, why has it sold a gazillion magazines–and we’re still talking about it four years later? Obviously things didn’t go as smoothly as he thought.

    He may think he was sensitive, but his ex-wife complained about the lack of sensitivity from both him and AJ.

    Of course Brad believes he handled the breakup well. He’s constantly talking about how wonderful he is, how great his life is, etc. No lack of self-esteem there.

  49. kate says:

    “he looks like a dead civil war soldier in his daguerreotype.”

    best laugh i’ve had today…thanks, morgs!

  50. petitmonde says:

    @Judy: Please stop bringing up the argument about the commenters here being bitter, that they must’ve been dumped for someone hotter and sexier, because that’s silly and unfounded. There’s nothing to be jealous of, or bitter about, BP or AJ, they’re two people who don’t command respect, at least not my respect and many others’.

    Brad should shut up and stop talking sh*t about what happened 4 years ago. My admiration and appreciation for him and his movies become less and less every time he talks about his *perfect* life that was only achieved by stepping on someone and hurting that person in front of the whole world.

  51. elle em says:

    Brad Pitt looks amazingly REAL. He doesn’t look like the rest of those zombie freaks out in Hollywood. Having lines on your face is a fact of life and it should be celebrated. I respect him now more than ever and I find him more attractive than ever.
    As for the JA thing-get over it! Angelina did not “steal him”. Nobody belongs to anybody. Marriages fail all of the time. There was obviously a lot lacking in that relationship for it to end
    . Angelina gets the bad rap because she is more beautiful, more talented and more interesting than JA. Angelina works to better the lives of people around the world. JA sunbathes in skimpy bikinis and drinks coctails. I rest my case!

  52. hadenoughofthebull says:

    Relationships do end all the time and it’s not because there was anything lackng from the other party. Why does Jennifer have to be constantly blamed as if, if she did A or B then this wouldn’t have happened. Despite the Liarlingias bull coming out of their blabbfests, there is a real and true timeline, one that doesn’t match what they’ve said. This has nothing to do with Jennifer but within them. They decided to be together and how they’ve done it and the constant lies is why they’ve lost so many people’s respect and future dollars at the box office.
    Angelina’s rap is due to her own behavior, her lack of “skill” in truly handling this. If so many weren’t so assstruck by her and actually corner her with the right questions, this wouldn’t be…Beauty and talented are opinions, just because you think slutalinga has it, doesn’t mean others don’t possess the same qualities.
    Angelina does not work to better the lives of other’s, not more than herself. Charity means doing for the sake of doing, not only if a camera is in front of her face. Whatever positive one may think she does, fine, but it doesn’t hold a candle to all the negative for many….Now I rest my case!

  53. Josephina says:

    Hadenoughof-

    I admire Angelina for her civic/public service accomplishments and not necessarily for her love relationship. Her passion and love for children, as well as the drive to protect the less fortunate children in third world countries is quite obvious. This is why she is nicknamed “Mother Earth.”

    Again…Angelina has held the position as a commissioned officer for the UNHCR for several years (even before Brad) and IS an ACTIVIST and a HUMANITARIAN. She holds several other political posts that help her advocate for the aid, supplies and protection of refugee children AROUND the WORLD. She has visited over 33 COUNTRIES and reports back the information to those lawmakers and policy wonks that CAN affect change. She is usually gone for days and, occasionally, weeks at a time. And yes, she gives money to charity as well. She is well known in the public policy, NGOs and the global arena for her service and commitment to refugee and children’s rights. She has stated several times that she enjoys being an actress, but strongly wants to be known more for her service as a global citizen. She has already received awards and international recognition for her work. This is why she is regarded as a powerful woman..she continues to top polls as a very influential actress of our time. If you do not know her work or read her published journals…then just say so. She has accomplished quite a bit and she is not even 34 yrs. old yet!

    You can google Angelina’s accomplishments as a freedom fighter over the last 10 years and view for yourself what is catalogued and already part of history.

  54. Orangejulius says:

    Those are not flattering pictures. It almost looks as if they tried to make him look bad. I don’t want them all photoshopped either, but was this really the best they could do?

  55. Faye says:

    Google Angelina’ s accomplishments?? LOL ok JOSEPHINA, what about her Biography, have you ever read that? fuked up shit dude!! She used to cut herself, got married to Mr. Miller with his name written in blood on her shirt, Split up Billy Bob Thortons relationship when they did a movie together?? Do you think she gets off on taking what she can’t have hmmmm. Wore a vile of her husbands blood around her neck-Billy Bob, her tattoos mean some messed up stuff. Yes EVERYONE has accomplishments, why has Brad not married her, controlling, throw’s knives, HELLO!! The PEOPLE said it best tonight when they voted Reese Witherspoon a better actress than Jolie, Her and Brad screwed themselves…Karma Baby..

  56. Kim says:

    God he looks so ugly. If those pictures are real, where is his scar that he covers up all the time?

    Now Brangeloonies are not complaing about the love triangle because his highness scuba dubba is the one talking about it.

    After the media fall out about falling in love on Mand M, he is trying some damage control. Because Jen is well loved by the wider public, now he is calling her a sweetheart to get back into their good graces. Bah, too late.

    He has caught the lying bug, Jen says they are not really in touch, he says they check on each other, after saying they were not really in touch. Goodness, picked up some nasty vices from his baby momma.

    But the pictures are too horrible, he actually looks like he was just pulled out of a morgue. The pictures are repulsive.

  57. Christina X says:

    I could be wrong, but it doesn’t take overnight to fall in love with someone like that.

    I mean, it seems as though too soon after Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston went public with the split, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were all over each other. It seemed as though Pitt wasn’t bothered by the split at all.

    He seems really detached and self-righteous.

  58. MT says:

    Run Brad, run!

    Even not- so- bright- men managed to run away from Angelina before you (ask her 2 previous husbands).

    Although Brad doesn’t seem to be the smartest guy and is obviously being controlled by Angelina and trapped by the oldest coup (children), let me tell you one thing.

    Children are NO excuse to stay with a mentally unstable and narcissistic woman.

  59. MT says:

    It seems like Angelina is addicted to getting attention.

    In the past she got the attention by kissing her brother, and talking about her sex life and getting naked.

    Now she is getting the attention by adopting poor children from third world countries, which also serve as PR props and a means to trap Brad and keep him.

    Instead of giving those poor children the best schools money can buy and a provide fine a stable home- she is dragging them from one hotel to another rented castle, not giving them the basic needs of stability, friends, education, routines, and care for their needs and their interests.

    The only chance these poor children who serve as instruments, have, is if Brad will leave and make sure they finally get a real home, and school.

  60. Sickitten says:

    MK of Dlisted is hysterical but Celebitchy is the best blog because of the commenters. Lots of the other blogs attract silly kids posting dumb comments. Here you have commenters who actually have a following and I can’t wait to read their take on things.

    Baho, Dante and Kaiser, anyone?

  61. 88modesty88 says:

    Brad looks good — real, not plastic.

    The haters are out in full force today…

  62. Kim says:

    MT,

    She adopted Maddox to trap BBT but he still left her. But Brad Pitt is dumber than most. If not the dumbest dude out there. He cannot see through Angelina’s machinations like the others were able to.

    Still he does not have a long attentions span and staying power. When those kids are teenagers, he will run like a kite.

    Angelina is using him. He will know this pretty soon.

    Now that I remember, theres is a time during the M&M when Angelina said she had taken a break from being a mother and was with a man the night before. Brad was still married at the time. Didn’t she also say that when she met Brad she feared that they may never get together? That is covetting a married man and it is wrong.

    Oscar nominations are around the corner. Brad has now realised that public opinion is not on his side, this is for damage control.

    I wonder how AJ reacted to ‘Jen is a sweatheart’ remark. She is very insecure. Brad also seems uncomfortable whenever he is talking about Angelina. His eyes look old, tired and gaunt. If that is happiness, I wonder what he looks like miserable. If he did like the Ken look, what took him so long?

    And could he stop using the word ‘man’, we get it, you are dumb and coherence is not your strongest point.

  63. 88modesty88 says:

    It’s so great to be in a place where everyone can throw stones because of their lily-white lives…

  64. DD says:

    Hahahahahaha!

    “I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful.”

    Good one Brad! Unfortunately too many people were paying attention to the media outlets before your divorce.

  65. Lizzy says:

    Haha, yes Kaiser, because almost 3/4 of the comments don’t agree with you, everything anyone says anti-Brad/Angelina is bullshit. Nice.

    “Celebitchy aims to be a friendly, welcoming site where people can discuss entertainment stories and current events in a lighthearted, safe environment without fear of harassment, excessive negativity, or bullying.”

    Don’t you work for them now? Yikes. Should I take my opinion/”bullshit” elsewhere?

  66. so you didn't cheat? says:

    Brad, you haven’t had enough mirror time lately.
    go there and repeat after me:

    if i say i didn’t cheat on anyone,then it has to be so.

    face it, brad: you’re as dumb as dirt.
    why else would you let your current lady boss you around all the day long?

  67. Tooty says:

    ZOMG!!! Such jealous haters…

    In an interview late last year, Jen said she keeps in touch with Brad. Brad confirmed this in this interview.

    If Brad cheated, why would Jen want anything to do with Brad (especially keep in touch with him and “congrat on your baby”, etc)? Read her interviews (late last year Vogue & GQ).

    Also, if Brad cheated, why would Jen praise Brad? Jen said she saw an hour of Brad’s TCCOBB movie and loved it and commented on his charitable work, etc?

    If my guy cheated on me, I would NOT want anything to do with him. I would leave and NEVER look back.

    Read the full article. Kaiser provide the link in the post.
    The interviewer brought up the “uncool” comment/triangle and brad said (paraphrasing) “let’s put an end to this…”.

    Also, read about this photographic technique. You won’t find a lot of celebrities agreeing to do this technique because it exposes ALL your flaws.

    Bravo to Brad for having the guts (throwing his vanity out the window) and having the tolerance for this photographic technique (it’s painful).

    Tooty,
    Exactly, if Jen says he didn’t cheat and he says he didn’t, what else is there to discuss? Shouldn’t she know if he cheated on her? Now if you want to hate Angelina and Brad fine, just hate them; you don’t need a reason. With today’s moral climate the “he cheated on his wife” line is disingenuous to say the least! However without Angie and Brad to hate this site(and others) would be dead; so there is an article about them on every page, keep it up. I only come here to read the comments on the Angie and Brad anyway.

    He looks pensive in these photos, a bit of Ernest Hemingway in the angles. Love them!

    @Lizzy, you said it yourself baby, my regards to the DL’s, b-bye!

    Dear Ladies, (not all of you),

    People age. Brad Pitt is aging. It happens. Yes, it really does.

    I’m gonna roll the dice and say he’s still better looking than the fella you’re trying to marry.

    I just wish that people would STFU!!! Bottom line..the man felt like his life was a “dead end” and he wanted to procreate….Anston did not want to…by the time Pitt hit the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith…he was already smitten with Jolie’s commitment to Maddox and was in the process of adopting Zee…so he was hooked and in love that he found someone who wanted children!! Not to mention AJ has been popping out babies like a pop tart toaster…..good for them! I hope they have two football/soccer team with 22-24 kids in all!!!

    This guy is too dumb for words. Hooks up with a freak show (her past is NOT the norm) and has the nerve to get upset when people ask about his freak show life. How sad to live an isolated life – no matter how much money you have. Thank God those children have each other – that seems to be the only constant in their lives.

    i found it bland. script could have been much much tighter. funnier.
    it was a severe case of paintbrush up arse.
    for all.
    & guns just blows a script away.
    where is the finesse on any of it.
    thank god none of those scenes i’ve been through ‘cos it would be insulting.
    no i connected with my feelings.
    i didn’t feel her boredom or her fight.
    nor did i feel they were killers.
    why does brad pitt like himself so much dropping cups & kissing? a paintbrush moment?
    children playing grow-ups.

    anniston did want to procreate when they were married .. it just didnt happen as for did he cheat…. i believe he did.. but i believe brad and jenn are painting the friendship scene because they own a production company together and it puts a stop to alot of the talk and i believe jenn still loves him… as for brad i believe he cares for both women but is stuck with angelina the child support alone would dry his finances up and as for angelina she is known for her breaking up relationships her own and others for her own needs… i respect angelina for her compassion in helping others but i do believe that brad and jenn hit a rough patch and brad was bewitched by angelina and it went from there some men are weaker then others and cant make it through rough patches in life so they seek something easy to get them through it and angelina played the role very well shes always been about molding herself to her partners.,, just look at past photos of her with other men you will see similarities between her and the men and drastic changes when you see her in each relationship where you can tell she changed to make the relationship work
