Angelina is exhausted and stressed out from taking care of six kids


Angelina on 5/19/08. Credit: WENN
Exhausted, sleep deprived, and dissolving into tears every day- sounds like a normal day in the life of a mom with a pair of newborn twins and four other kids to care for. However, this is Angeline Jolie we’re talking about, so of course the tabloids have to ramp up the drama a notch. A source revealed that Jolie is being treated for stress and is having a hard time getting the twins on a schedule that allows her to rest.

It has been reported that Angelina is having a difficult time at home with the twins.

The Lara Croft actress is taking on her most challenging role yet, as mother to six children.

Sleep-deprived and emotional, Angelina is said to be receiving medical treatment for her stress.

A source tells Now, “She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice.

“She’s been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed.

“She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.”

The magazine also reports how the couple have hired help on hand at all times and are now looking for a nurse to stay for six weeks.

I don’t believe for a second that Angelina’s been left home alone in charge of all six kids. The couple said in their interview with People that they have help, although the nannies do not spend the night. We’ve seen Brad attending the Venice Film Festival with both Maddox and Pax in tow, and we’ve also seen him taking Shiloh and Zahara on outings. I’m sure Angelina’s focus right now is on taking care of the new babies. Her struggle to rest and produce enough milk to feed twins is similar to the challenges many new moms face. I highly doubt she’s in a bad enough state that doctors have had to give her medical treatment for stress. What exactly is the medical treatment for stress, anyway?

    sounds more like the loony brangelina’s to me..six kids is not a joke…no normal human being can cope with that and if she is seeking treatment she should be looking at mental treatment.. she is insane and i dnt care if she hides behind that humanitarian ish of hers, she is insane as hell..her role in girl interrupted was a true refelction of her…CRAZY..

  2. daisy424 says:

    She sounds like any new mother to me. No sleep, exhaustion, is typical, especially with multiples.
    The crying is most likely due to her hormones going back to normal.
    I was lucky to remember/have the time to shave both legs in the shower.
    She’ll be just fine, no doubt in my mind.:-)

  3. geronimo says:

    Au contraire, goons. She is as normal as anyone else coping with new twins and four kids would be. I’m sure she’s got live-in help, be madness not to. How is this even a story?

  4. Allabouteve says:

    I guess gossip demands that you don’t use your brains any more. She was in such a bad shape that she posed for pictures that will be on the cover of W magazine. This always happens when Angie is not seen in public, all kinds of rumors, innuendos and outright lies start going around. Just last week, we saw that Brad’s parents are still with them, and from the pictures taken by paparazzi of them playing in their back yard, there were a lot of other family members out there, so how in the world is she taking care of six children on her own.

    The gossip industry need Angelina more that she needs them and that is why every morsel of gossip, no matter how ridiculous is posted on blogs because people like me will click once it says Angelina.

    For the likes of Lola who like to scream famewhores, interesting that the last public picture of Angelina was back in May, she has managed to stay out of the public except for the family pictures that was released, and yet the public have not stopped talking about her.

  5. Allabouteve says:

    Celebitchy, why is my comment being moderated, I wasn’t rude, I just called story bull crap and why it is.
    When she starts promoting her movie next month, then you will hear the usual, I am so sick of her, she needs to go away, well she has gone away and folks are still talking about her.

  6. Anon says:

    No normal human being can cope with 6 kids? How do you explain all those families of 8 a couple of generations ago? There are still plenty of those right now as well. New babies always take an adjustment period all around.

  7. Alecto says:

    Goons. My Mother is one of 6 kids. Their neighbors had 12 and I work with a woman who is one of 23 LIVING!!!

  8. texasmom says:

    The headline made me laugh — who WOULDN’T be???

    Having one newborn made me cry several times a day, just part of the hormone soup. She might even be crying from happiness in that weird, slightly-mentally-ill haze that comes from having a newborn.

  9. Syko says:

    Of course she’s tired and crying. She just had the stress of a high risk pregnancy, she’s trying to breast feed twins, and has four other active little ones. Sounds normal to me. I was like that after my kids were born, and I had them one at a time.

    And of course people can care for six kids. Both sets of my grandparents had nine each, I have a friend with eleven (and she homeschools), and when I was in the hospital giving birth to my third, a woman was having her 18th – and the oldest was 24.

    It’s just a hard adjustment. Babies so needy and you so tired. She’ll be fine.

  10. RAN says:

    Amen folks! I felt this way with two young kids in the house – I can’t imagine 6, with two babies!

  11. Payton says:

    Just having twins would be horribly exausting. I can tell that a lot of these readers do not have children. 1 newborn baby is draining, especially if you are breastfeeding. You are delirious from sleep exaustion! God Bless Angie, I think she is just trying to make Brad happy.

  12. nina says:

    Everyone will jump on me over this, but whatever….It is not a secret that AJ has a comfortable lead in the trio of female celebs that I cannot stand: AJ, Jessica Alba and Kate Beckinsale.
    Assuming the article has at least some truth to it….
    I think this woman is delusional. Since she went on the sainthood ego-trip she lost tons of weight – she has basically been starving herself, every time finding a new excuse. You can tell on one’s looks when they hate themselves. She does not look healthy. This is a profoundly disturbed individual.
    Some people (not that personally I know any – around here it is rarity for a family to have even 3 kids) can handle 6 kids. It takes – social structures, mental stability and the correct mentality (growing up in environment where it’s the norm). I feel sorry for her kids (her husband brought it upon himself).
    Rant out. πŸ™‚
    Edit: no public pictures since may? Of course – no public photos until she goes under the knife – for tummy tuck and other adjustments….

  13. Jill says:

    I have 4 kids who are 13,10,9,5 and I still cry when way overly tired/stressed. I can’t even imagine adding twins on top of that. She probably stubbed her toe, teared up and someone took a pic of her “stressed out, dissolving into tears”. Couldn’t the medical treatment also be her and the babies follow up?

  14. vdantev says:

    goons- spoken like someone who’s never had kids. If Anj is actually hand-raising her brood and not doing the typical Hollywood mom thing with live-in nannies et al, more power to her. I can’t say what she’s doing- I don’t live there.

  15. Syko says:

    Losing your appetite after giving birth is not uncommon. When I got pregnant with my first, I was 150 lb., and I “bloomed” to 192 with the pregnancy. By the time she was 3 weeks old, I was 130. I simply could not eat, no appetite, high on having a new baby girl, couldn’t sleep either. I can remember after a week actually eating half a hamburger and expecting praise for my deed.

    Too bad that didn’t happen with the second and third. Still trying to lose the weight from the third, and he’s 37.

  16. czarina says:

    Also, that business about being treated for stress is tough to swallow.
    I doubt Angelina Jolie has less common sense than anyone on this blog.
    She’s had a baby already.
    She knows the drill.
    It is not going to be shocking to her or anyone else if she is tired, cranky, emotional and stressed.
    I can’t imagine getting “treatment” unless she was suffering from serious post-partum depression, which is a little more than being tired and weepy.
    And how does anyone know what her doctor is saying to her? I mean, last I heard, even in France, patient information is privilidged, right?
    This whole article is like the messy house thing–taking something basically normal and trying to exaggerate it into a tabloid-worthy story.
    Bah.

  17. nina says:

    Syko, I totally agree with you.
    However, although we cannot trust what tabloids say, we can judge by photos and candid photos in particular. Angelina’s appearance changed drastically way before the twins and Shiloh. You know more about child rearing than me, as I did not experience it first hand, but I know quite a bit about people’s weight and appearance as a function of their emotional state (everyone is preoccupied with their looks here…)

  18. Jess Doherty says:

    I doubt medical treatment for stress would be given to a breast-feeding mom. Whatever medications she takes would pass through the milk to the babies.

  19. Kaiser says:

    Christ on a cracker. Please, someone remind me, what are we supposed to do about the genuinely insane and hateful who gather on the Jolie threads like Trolls to a flame?

    Ignore them? Fine.

    I’m sure Angie & Brad are doing just fine.

  20. Syko says:

    Not everyone here is preoccupied with looks – I’ve moved into the senior citizen “clean and neat is all you can expect” mindframe. It’s really liberating to be old!

  21. geronimo says:

    I like Christ on a Cracker, Kaiser. Christ on a Bike is my other favourite (often preceeded, in extreme circs. by Sweet Suffering.)

  22. Suzie says:

    no one forced her to have 6 children !!!
    no mercy. she is so stupid

  23. Kaiser says:

    @geronimo – I’m also a fan of “For the love of all that is holy” – but I find “Christ on a Cracker” to be cheekier (more cheeky?) and more to-the-point.

  24. duda says:

    i seriously doubt she is asking for anyone’s pity, or even cares what ppl think. having kids is hard, breastfeeding twins is no doubt hard. hell 1 kid scared the crap outta me, so i stopped there. but hell starting your monthly cycle makes some women cry.. and effing birth control makes life a hormonal emotional roller coaster.. its just effing life is all.

  25. Bodhi says:

    Brad isn’t her husband & of course she is tired. What a joke, the tabs will attach her name to anything to sell print

  26. Starla says:

    Jesus Christ,6 kids, she’s exausted & crying?? Of course. What did she expect? I read Brad said they want to adopt two more before the year is over. Please tell me this is a joke. But with these two you never know.

  27. daisy424 says:

    It was a joke Starla πŸ˜‰

    The article reads “a source” is stating this, NOT Angelina. I’m sure she is very happy, but tired with all of her babies.

  28. Tina says:

    LMAO! We have truly arrived at the twilight zone.
    Angelina please show your face so the gossip hounds will know you are well. She is the only celeb mom that have not had the need to be seen one week after having a baby running coffee errands, and I can see that people are suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

    Angie please show your face before the rumors get more ridiculous than this.

  29. javagirl1 says:

    The tabloids were bound to come up with a story like this sooner than later…who knows if its true. And I prefer “Jesus tap dancing Christ.”

  30. cara says:

    Six kids under the age of seven!!!!! With two newbies…..if it were me, I’d be screamimg ” KILL ME”.

    Godbless her
    ** she looks rather pretty in that pic. **

  31. Prissa says:

    I thought I remember reading in the People interview she said the twins were already on schedule and already sleeping through the night (last feeding 11pm & they don’t wake up till 7am or something like that). Honestly, I though the entire article sounded like butterflies, pink clouds and pastel rainbows – like fantasy in other words (‘we all raise each other’ – yeah right!!). This sounds more like reality.

  32. Starla says:

    Thanks, daisy. I feel like
    I need a shot of Southern Comfort just to get through the article.That’s alot of little ones to raise.

  33. Bodhi says:

    I like jesus tap dancing Christ too. Thanks South Park!

  34. bb says:

    I doubt she is seeking treatment for stress. They have round the clock care-they are not raising their own children in the traditional sense.
    As for the kids, I guess child development and psychology do not apply. Stability, regularity, attachment and contact with parents and the ability to develop friendships and play are key.

    Who the hell begs to move around the globe and go to film festivals instead of playing with regular playmates at ages 5 and 7?

  35. Lola says:

    OHMIGOD 😯 😯 ! Saint Angelina is tired, exhausted crying and depressed after giving birth? I am in shock 😯 ! Do immortal beings also feel these things? I thought she was super woman, collecting all these kids without a second thought.

    Sarcasm aside, this is what happens when you do things for attention not appreciating the consequences. I said this all along (As usual I am right!). 6 Kids are going to break their backs, this is just the beginning.

    This story like many tabloid stories is made up of course. However, I don’t doubt that this is what she is going through. Worse is yet to come.

    I know people who have 5,6 even 7 kids but the only person who I knew who had 5 kids under the age of five was treated for mental health problems.

    It is OK to have 6 kids ranging from 15-1 yr, but 6 little kids including twins is a joke. I am yet to see anyone come out of it with no depression.

    She did not turn up at the Venice film festival 2 months after giving birth. For that reason, I can imagine what stress she is going through. She loves attention and to miss such a photo op, it must be serious.

    Moreover Brad’s parents are around. They may help out but I would rather not live with my in-laws in my face when I am going through post partum blues.

    The reason people treat this as news is because Angelina likes to paint a picture of a ‘perfect rainbow family’ The public gets a kick knowing it is not perfect after all. Get ready for ‘Angelina is depressed’ stories for the next two years.

    I hope when she was crying she did not hear her lover jest that they would add two more kids. He is not well known for his sensitivity chip.

  36. RReedy says:

    Oh, Boo-hoo. just WHY is this “newsworthy”?

  37. Orangejulius says:

    Christ in a Christmas tree…

    My take is somewhere in the middle. Yes, this is probably exaggerated, but the speed with which they are acquiring children sets off alarm bells in the back of my pea brain. Something about it just seems a little off, not on his part, but on hers. If it’s true that she was looking into adoptions while on bed-rest at the end of the last pregnancy then that’s a little obsessive and I speak as someone a little obsessive/compulsive.

  38. Diva says:

    “As usual I am right.”

    Wow, Lola.

    Just Wow.

  39. Kaiser says:

    BADettes: If I pointed out the Memento-esque brain damage/Groundhog Day qualities of these same old comments, would I be called out of the sandbox?

    ZOMG SHE’S DOING FINE.

  40. daisy424 says:

    OJ; I think that them having another child is a rumor.

    I had my (5) kids fairly close together, yeah it was hard in the beginning, but they are adults now and are extremely close.

    Yeah Lola, it was Angelina’s master plan all along, to have kids to prove you right πŸ™„
    Holds alot of weight from someone who doesn’t have kids.

    Amen Diva & Kaiser.

  41. vdantev says:

    RReedy: Oh, Boo-hoo. just WHY is this β€œnewsworthy”?

    This isn’t news dumbass, it’s a gossip blog. The news is on CNN.

  42. Syko says:

    BADettes, let’s just ignore the cretins. I’m sick of trying to make them develop common sense. It’s like some sort of horror movie where the minute the key word is spoken (in this case it is “Angelina”), their eyes go red, they develop fangs and start slavering. Thank heavens WE are sensible, pleasant people.

  43. Kaiser says:

    @Syko – I read that as “sensible peasant people” πŸ˜†

    Us peasants, so logical and pragmatic.

  44. kate says:

    yes, i’m sure she is! the woman has 4 children and two newborns, so exhausted and stressed seems about right to me. i’m exhausted and stresed, too, and i have zero kids!

  45. gilly says:

    all i can say is she must have had some idea what it would be like to have all these kids and if not she has enough money if not sense to get help with them

  46. daisy424 says:

    I read Syko’s comment as peasant also πŸ˜†
    Syko, did you have any damage from that storm?

  47. geronimo says:

    High five, Syko, ignore the cretins.

    And remember, baiting another poster is a no-no so BADettes, don’t forget to use the ‘report abuse’ button. I’m currently basking in the afterglow of ‘drooling cretin’ reporting and I highly recommend it.

  48. Bystander says:

    A source tells Now, β€œShe’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice.

    SHILOH should have duct tape the mouth of her dolls that will stop IT talking to tablod reporters LMAOOO!!!

  49. Kaiser says:

    Thus spoke the gaping double standard.

    Go f–k yourself, Lola.

    Edit: Whoops. Must remember to ignore them.

  50. Allabouteve says:

    Lola, you are certifiable.

    The new Republican VP candidate has five children, so I guess there is something wrong with her and her youngest is only 4months old.
    So are you haters going to attack her for having too much children or is that only reserved for Brad and Angelina because Brad dumped neurotic, self absorbed, manipulating, conniving and vengeful Anniston.

  51. Syko says:

    No, no damage, Daisy – just a LOT of rain (8″ in 2 days) and some tree branches and a ton of boredom because the lights kept going out. Reading by candlelight isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

    Since I’m not going to talk to the rabid haters, can someone else explain to me why a woman of my age (hell yes, I’m 50+ – I just turned 66 and am proud of it!) is supposed to stop being a bitch when she’s been one all her life, and quit referring to idiots as cretins? I thought I was being refined.

  52. jacqueline says:

    it’s the breastfeeding through every night that gets to you – usually every 3hrs max, but unless both feed at same time it could be almost all the time, god forbid !!
    I did the breast feeds for 6wks and then both bottle & breast so that my partner could help with feeding too, especially through the night.
    I think you can cope with most of it IF you can get 7hrs sleep, but that’s not likely.
    such a pity Angelina’s mother not here to help and see her beautiful grandchildren; that must make Angelina tearful if anything does.
    I think Brad is as good a dad as it’s possible to get, in every way, and I imagine he is also an adoring and loving partner, so Angelina is blessed in that respect.
    Hold on in there Angelina, everything seems worse without enough sleep.
    (I recall my partner at times taking our baby out in the middle of the night, just to get baby to stop crying / screaming with colic – it doesn’t get more desperate when you cant get the sleep you need.
    I’d advise Angelina to give herself a break every other night at least, and if she can get a nanny overnight to do the feeds – and not to feel bad if the breast feeding peters out.
    You have to ‘weigh-up’ a lot of issues of equal importance (like saving your sanity / your marriage etc.)

  53. daisy424 says:

    Syko, you were being a lady πŸ˜†
    You were saying that you were on the first floor, I was worried about the flooding 😯 All of this on your Birthday, that bites.
    My in-laws are in Palm Coast, they were continuouly pumping water out of their pool. They got hit bad also.

    I think that allabouteve should be in the club, BADettes. 8)

  54. Bodhi says:

    I might be wrong but I’m fairly certain Syko’s head is firmly attached

  55. Kaiser says:

    @Daisy, I second the motion. All of those in favor of AllAboutEve’s entrance into the BADettes by acclimation say “EYE” (or “yea” – whatever). πŸ˜†

    Edit: Syko, you are the epitome of refined.

  56. Kaiser says:

    Team Allabouteve. πŸ˜€

  57. Allabouteve says:

    Oh thanks Kaiser but I have been a “brangeloonie” for 3 years now. Since the VF interview I became a fan even though Angelina was the only one that appealed to me since after her 2004 interview with Babara Walters.

    But that VF interview was the most under handed, passive aggressive interview given by a celebrity. I would respect Anniston if she had said yes, Brad cheated me with Angelina, but she did not say that because it wasn’t true, instead she got her friends to impugn on the integrity of another woman and basically threw her under the bus to cover her part in the failure of her marriage and claiming only 2% responsibility.

    So in a way I have been a Baddette but thanks for the invite.

    Thanks Daisy, Brad and Angelina will proud of their supporters. I have a feeling Miss Z will endorse the baddettes as well

  58. Syko says:

    I eye aye! Welcome to the BADettes, Allabouteve! (did you want to join?) πŸ˜†

    Yes, I’m on the ground floor, but the small amount of flooding that occurred was around the river, which is about 15 miles from me – that river flows into the ocean, and when high tide hit, plus all the rain, it overflowed a little. I also have a river of sorts less than a mile from me, actually the intracoastal waterway that separates the beach area, which is on an island, from the mainland where I live (only because rent at the beach has gone sky high) but MY river was better behaved. We’re fine. A little wet, a lot bored, but perfectly safe.

  59. nic says:

    wont be long now, shell kill herself off

  60. daisy424 says:

    She likes Ms Z also ladies πŸ™‚

    You have my vote Eve.

  61. Kaiser says:

    @Allabouteve – Yeah, my view of the whole situation changed with the VF interview too. When Brad & Jen were together, I thought they were “pretty but dumb” – and that every interview I read with the married Aniston she sounded like a harmless, vapid, self-absorbed whiner.

    When they broke up and Brad got together with Angie, my immediate thought was that I had underestimated The Pitt. If he was man enough for Angie, then he was a good egg. And originally, I did have some sympathy for Aniston.

    Until the VF interview. It just seemed like such horrible, scorched-earth PR. I totally agree with what you said about it. And Aniston’s PR tactics have only gotten worse since then.

    Welcome Allabouteve!

    Edit: I believe you girls are referring to Queen Zahara Jolie-Pitt-Stefani-Rossdale, Empress of the Seven Seas. And yes, of course she would approve. We are her loyal subjects.

  62. Lola says:

    So ‘allabouteve’, you did not like the VF magazine, it was passive aggressive. Hmmm, what did you think about the W Brangelina spread? It came before the VF magazine, the trip to Africa before the divorce was filed. Now that was aggressive, not even passive.

    Hey and the spread of the happy families? And the pictures in Africa, of the world’s most beautiful family? And all those interviews Angieho gave that painted JA as a pityful self absorbed, sexless woman whose husband was more of a best friend and who refused to give him kids? Wasn’t that passive aggression on your saint Angelina’s part?

    Forgive me if I am not blown away by your sense of fairness that prompted you to launch yourself firmly in the Brangelina corner.

    But I like you better than those who come here saying they care nothing for Brad and Angelina and yet go ape-shit when anything is said against them that is short of worship.

    I like this line ‘…..impugn on the integrity of another woman’. Can you impugn something that does not exist? I wonder.

  63. Syko says:

    Ignore ignore ignore ignore ignore. La la la la la la la la la la la. I don’t hear you!

    And all those interviews Angieho gave that painted JA as a pityful self absorbed, sexless woman whose husband was more of a best friend and who refused to give him kids? Wasn’t that passive aggression on your saint Angelina’s part?

    No, that was truth.

  64. daisy424 says:

    Kaiser & Eve; It happened to me before the Aniston interview with VF. It was Brad’s interview with VF after filming Troy. In that article, he made statements about wanting to start a family. I knew their relationship was doomed. 😯
    Jen seemed to me (yes, I liked her in Friends) more focused on her career than starting a family, which is her right, but not what her husband wanted.

    Make no mistake, I love Brad & Angelina. So the F what?? 8)

    edit*Syko, more like what Charlie Brown’s mother sounds like, wah wa wah wa…..

  65. Kaiser says:

    @Allabouteve – Don’t even bother trying to correct her, sweetie. Whether or not we ignore her, she starts frothing at the mouth and barfing. πŸ˜†

    Syko, Daisy – Funny, very funny.

  66. geronimo says:

    That’s interesting, Kaiser, the bit about Angie’s interest in Brad shoving him up a few rungs on your interest ladder. I’ve always been fairly indifferent to him, but I’m definitely seeing him as a far more interesting person through their relationship. Hadn’t really occurred to me until I read your comment, but she really did bring out the man in him.

    Oh, and welcome ‘AllAboutEve’! πŸ˜›

  67. Allabouteve says:

    Thank you ladies for the invite, I accept with great humility πŸ˜†

    Lola, get a grip with reality. The separation was in January, divorce was filed in March, the Kenya pictures were in April. In June, the chin was dry humping Vince in Chicago, but being the vindictive woman that she is that care too much about how she was perceived, she gave that VF interview and it was shortly after that that Brad was seen carrying the kids around NY probably as an F U to Manniston.

    Angelina walked away from a marriage because BBT did not want her son, she chose her son, she did not look for pity or sympathy, instead she doubled her effort with her humanitarian work, learned how to fly a plane. She got out of herself, you did not see her or her camp badmouthing BBT, now that is a woman of class.
    By the way I did not realize you were all for “collecting” of children as long as they are spaced out.

  68. Orangejulius says:

    I knew I stepped in it right after I hit ‘Submit’. Sorry BADettes.

  69. Kaiser says:

    @Geronimo – Right? I’ve *always* bought what Angie was selling, whether it was crazy, brother-kissing, blood-vile-wearing hellcat or mother and humanitarian. I’ve been Team Jolie since Hackers and Gia. La Jolie made Brad more interesting for me – because pre-Jolie, all I thought was “pretty boy” and now I think “tired, happy, loving partner and father trying to do good work in every sense.”

    @Eve – “the chin was dry humping Vince in Chicago” πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜†

  70. pamela says:

    Allabouteve,

    Brava!! To the point and well said.

  71. Allabouteve says:

    Kaiser and Geronimo, It was Angie that made me give Brad a second look as well. He and Anniston just seemed like Ken and Barbie to me, but Angelina has brought out the man that was in him all along, now he is building houses, designing hotels, photographing her for the cover of W magazine, and I am, wow Brad, it took a real woman to get all your artistic and creative juices flowing, even the way he struts….eh.. walk is so sexy.

  72. geronimo says:

    @Kaiser, the funny thing is, I honestly never paid her much attention (although I loved her in both Girl Interrupted and Gia) and it wasn’t until the fun & games started up here that I ended up, by default, reading so much about her and hearing other people’s opinions about her, that I genuinely started to like her! πŸ˜›

    And I am of course in love with Zee and Shiloh and since both of them seem to love Brad, that’s good enough for me. :mrgreen:

    Edit: Allabouteve, definitely true, the challenge made him seriously raise his game! The love of a good woman, eh!

    At the very end of the article,(page 165) the last paragraph, it states so much about their draw/allure to each other, very sexy and cute at the same time. She looks gorgeous in the photo spread. Great article, I will try and find a link.

    What exactly is a BADette?

  75. cc says:

    Sorry it took me so long to get to the party BADettes, helping a friend move.

    When I had my son, my husband found me crying in the (walk in) closet, breast feeding him. I was so afraid my daughter would be woken up, then I would have two screaming, crying kids on my hands. Poor guy. Never seen him look so freaked out in my life. I am happy to report my son is 2 years old and I don’t ever have to breast feed him again and the days of hiding in the closet are over, just until the teenage years, I suppose. LOL! πŸ˜›

    It is amazing to me that so many people are eager to jump on the crazy train and bash a mom for trying to make a home for children. She didn’t have to adopt, she wanted to give a child a home that needed it. She had biological children and happened to end up with twins. It is just too much fun for people to act holier than Christ on a bike (LOL) and expect nothing but perfection from normal human beings.

  76. someone says:

    So what??? She wanted a house full of kids, so shes going to have to deal with it…most people don’t have 6 kids in three years..but she asked for it.

  77. Syko says:

    Recently while riding the bus home from work, I talked with a young mother who not only worked a full time job at the courthouse, but had six children at home under the age of 3. One that was nearly 3, one 2, one 1, and month old triplets. She was bright and happy. Probably the full time job was a refuge.

    @dovesgate – history in a nutshell: there are a group of us who try to use common sense when the haters are around, and we thought we should be the Brad and Angelina Defense bunch – the BADettes. So while the name honors those who led to the founding of this organization which defends them and honors their amazing daughter Zahara, we also try to defend others being unfairly set upon by the likes of the Lolas of the world.

    I’ve always liked “Christ on a crutch”.

  78. Snowblood says:

    Hi, Dovesgate! A BADette is a Brad and Angelina Defender. Wanna join us? πŸ˜€ 8)

    CC, I loved your post – I could totally picture you crying, hiding in the closet breat-feeding, and your husband’s freaked-out face.

    Mothers are the bomb, they deserve nothing but respect for giving birth, nursing and raising little children. ALL the loving mothers of the world! Angelina, everyone here, ALL the good mommas. πŸ˜€

  79. Snowblood says:

    OH YEAH – and to all the wonderful, loyal BADettes who spoke up in my defense yesterday, thank you all so much, and I love you guys! And I apologise to RAN, for whatever it was that I apparantly said a while back which for the life of me I can’t remember, but you mentioned something about me saying something or something, so if I ever upset you RAN, really I am sorry. ‘K? I don’t EVER want any bad blood amongst us BADdies. You bitches are the BOMB! 8) LOVE you guys.

  80. Jessica says:

    Cry me a river!! Im just like everyone else.. I have 2 kids, a 4 year old and a 13 month old, a husband (does that count as 3 kids?) and a full time job. I am up every day at 4:30 in the morning and I go to work, cook dinner, bathe the kids and please the Mr.
    Its called life, get used to it!!!!

  81. bros says:

    yah snowblood, I agree. If men had to have kids they would be crying every day in the closet. sorry im late to the party. i never expected this post to get near the attention that it did, but I guess anything with a brad or an angie in the title gets noticed. kaiser, did you see the ‘inside the actors studio’ interview with angie? i just saw a rerun of it which probably was shortly after she did laura croft because she only had maddox at that point. she talks about how she was filming in cambodia and began doing humanitarian work shortly thereafter. she said that when she first started she was feeling all kinds of sorry for herself, self-focused etc. and then she traveled around and got to see what real suffering looked like, what kinds of real hardships people faced all over the world and her shit paled in comparison to what these other unfortunates were dealing with, and she was like, at that point? i just stopped feeling bad and sorry for myself and put things into perspective. i really respected her in that interview. i think she trying to keep her head above water here, knowing that it will all be worth it in the end with the big family and everything. but lola seriously, you are such a tool, even working aniston phrases into your posts, channeling her like some mentally-challened dion warwick.

  82. Snowblood says:

    I love those Inside the Actors Studio interviews – I’d really love to see this one! I wonder if I can find it online, like on youtube or something. I don’t have cable TV, my BF and I just rent DVDs when we want to watch stuff, so I never get to catch television shows.

  83. Savanah Anderson says:

    Oh really! She brought it all on herself with her dumb @ss! Thats what she gets πŸ˜€

  84. daisy424 says:

    Snowy, I have an video card on my computer and have cable TV through ATI. Works great.
    BTW, I pulled the AJ Actors Studio show up on youtube.

    Bros, I found her interview very interesting, she comes across as a smart, warm loving person.

    CC, it broke my heart to read your post, I have been there (in a closet), it does get better. πŸ˜‰

    Syko, what a great story, she sounds like a strong woman. Thanks for sharing.

  85. Syko says:

    Hey, bros, we don’t even need a Brad or Angie in the title, any post that refers to Anuston, babies, post partum depression, twins, divorce, marriage, children, adoption, sex, money or movies ends up being about Brad and Angie. That’s why we BADettes have to be super vigilant!

    To infinity and beyond for Ms. Z and her parents!

  86. Kaiser says:

    Daisy, Bros – Have the Vogue Jan. 2007 – it’s a beautiful interview & pictorial. Also seen the Inside the Actor’s Studio… my girl strikes the balance between crazy & brilliantly cool.

    Snowy – Jesus, girl. I read through that thread and I felt so bad for you- you were being attacked on all fronts. Thanks again for defending me against The Plague of Haters. BADette For Life. Respect.

    I’m out, Lovers, Haters & Ambivalents!

  87. AJ and Brad should quit collecting children and take parenthood more seriously. They should focus on parenting the kids they already have, its not fair to keep adding more and more kids.

  88. nina says:

    Why do you have to bring Aniston into a Jolie thread? One has nothing to do with the other.
    Jolie was an annoying self absorbed nutcase pre: Pitt and Aniston and post them, and during as well. How is that divorce relevant? Jolie just acted like her immoral self once again.
    I will be SO happy to see a Jolie post that does not mention Aniston and vice versa!!!!
    I would like to point out, however, that Jolie looks like s***t and is aging super fast. Yey!!!!
    BTW – “Einsteins” – do you even know the etymology of the word “cretin”….?

  89. Kris says:

    Badettes? Man how old are you guys? I’m hoping young, because a lot of the posts on here are very childish.

  90. Snowblood says:

    Daisy, thanks for the tip about a video card. Maybe I can get my BF to install that for me on my computer. I’m sure he would if I asked him…

    Syko, hilarious – and so true, even I just now put Z in a thread about Queen Latifah! I’d seen Kaiser’s comment and had automatically thought of Zahara when she said “the Queen,” πŸ˜†

    Kaiser, kisses bella, and I’ve got to get going, too. I have so much stuff to get done this afternoon! Must – leave – Celebitchy — so – hard — Unh. UNh. *tries to pull self away from computer*

  91. daisy424 says:

    Snowy, My husband just informed me that you need to bring in the ‘signal’ like it was a TV, such as an antenna, dish or cable. The ATI acts as a TV tuner and you can purchase it for under $100.00.

    OJ, Christ on a Xmas tree, you people are hysterical πŸ˜€

    I’m out….

  92. bros says:

    ill be more on top of it next time syko, you’re right about that! see you all the next time!

  93. Syko says:

    Sorry to not meet your standards of being adult, Kris.

    BADettes range in age from 20’s to 60’s. I’m the oldest.

    And yes, we goof around and have fun together.

    You can’t stay young forever, but you can be immature your whole life.

  94. Scorn says:

    This is normal post partum fair, it is SO totally overwhelming and the hormone cocktail kicks your ass as well. The six kid thing I could never pull off. But there is something that tickles the back of my mind about why they are going great guns to have so many kids so quickly. Is it some need to fill an emppty emotional void? Also, she looked painfully thin before she got pregnant and painfully thin throughout. I don’t think she started from a healthy spot, mentally or physically.

  95. pamela says:

    Hi whoever is still on. I have been trying to post all day today, but my boss was just hanging around all day. How dare she? LOL.

    Anyhoo, i dont read or believe tabloids about anyone, not even about JA. I tend to be a “doubtful Thomas” kind of person, dont believe anything if it can’t be proven. I will read Brad’s and Angie’s print interviews, and of course watch them anytime they are on TV. So when i quote them, or give my opinions, i feel confident its not lies and innuendoes. Angie’s interviews are the best, and it always amaze me that someone who it has been said about, never has anything bad to say about anyone, has such venom spewed her way. Thank God she doesn’t give a damn. I remember in one of her recent interviews she said that its to be expected that people may question her motives in regard to her humanitarian efforts. But inspite of the skepticism that does not stop her from doing what she can to make life a little better for people who dont have a voice. That kind of humility just endeared her to me even more.

    I am not even going to comment on this ridiculous story. Responding only gives the story legs. I wonder how all the folks who are criticizing Angie and Brad for having their beautiful kids, respond to the families who have sixtuplets? They are not asking us for money to take care of them. I am sure the ones who hate them dont support their movies, so it should not bother you at all.

    Lastly, Angie is the only person who was not supposed to grieve the passing of her mother. Anyone else would have been the sympathy and empathy that is expected at a difficult time like that. Her face and demeanor during that difficult time showed how much she was hurting, but the dregs of humanity could not even let go of their hate long enough to try to understand her pain, and attribute her weight loss to that and her breastfeeding her daughter. That kind of hate is scary and sick.

    Sorry for the long rant. LOL.

  96. Anni says:

    i find myself scrolling the comments to look for lola posts and bless! there are two! what a delight in these dark days.

    anyways i think angieΒ΄s doing just fine. sheΒ΄s tired, she exhausted and sheΒ΄s hormonal. i donΒ΄t need a reliable source to believe THAT πŸ˜‰

  97. pamela says:

    And one last thing. I dont understand the people who accuse Angie’s fans of thinking she is perfect and a saint. Sheesh, I certainly dont think she is, and dont want want her to be. I do believe she is a good, decent and kind person, who has a great capacity to love. And it’s obvious Brad thinks so too, because from all accounts, and from pictures taken of them, you can see the love and admiration they have for each other. Brad looks at her as if the sun rises and sets with her. I think that is why the haters get in such a frenzy, because they can see that this relationship is the real thing.

  98. JaundiceMachine says:

    I guess I’m a double-talker, because after the hubbub on the Gunn/Aniston post, I had to see what was going down on Angie’s side of the wall. (As opposed to a fence, you see.)

    Sounds like your routine, run-of-the-mill, post-partum depression settling in. Nothing to see here, folks! Move along!

    Ps – I’ve always been partial to “Jumping Jesus on a Pogostick!”

  99. Starla says:

    I’ve been at work all day (side note–at our liquor store handing out out samples, god I love my job) anyway, as I sit with my Fireball, I’m catching up with today’s post & must say to daisy…5, five? kids? My hero. In this day & age & all the hardsip that goes into raising children, great going , moms.And dads.
    I’m not a huge fan of B & A’s, but as long as they totally love those kids, all the best to them. But 6 kids scares the, uh, insides out of me.

  100. nina says:

    Angelina practice various forms of self mutilation and incoherent behavior pretty much all her life. Had she not been rich, and under different circumstances, the child services probably would have intervened – at the very least – nobody would let her adopt. Just more incoherent behavior…..The woman clearly hates herself – nice values she’ll pass to her poor kids…..

  101. vdantev says:

    Kris:

    It’s quite amazing this thread of comments is 100 long…yet others are half or maybe way less than that. Brangeloonies are in session!

  103. Jeanne says:

    Then for the love of God why did Brad Pitt say recently that they think they would soon have 2 more added to the brood. How come when Mia Farrow kept adopting kids no one thought it was glamorous. Everyone thought she was just crazy. I hope these 2 decide to stay married for the next 20 years, otherwise how unfair to all those kids if they ever split up.

  104. KERRI says:

    Nina: What the bleep are you on about??
    β€œPractice various forms of self mutilation and incoherent behavior”?
    β€œThe woman clearly hates herself – nice values she’ll pass to her poor kids”?

    Where on this planet have you been these last 7 years? Angelina is a role model for all young mothers and mothers-to-be. She is opening up a clinic in Africa so that one day Zahara will take over for her. She has a library of the different cultures in the world for her children. She talks to her adopted children about their native countries, and hopes that one day they will share her passion for helping others in need and stand beside her as she continues on with her various charities. Angelina is a strong, intelligent woman with an enormous heart. Children are the love of her life (including Brad) and she sets no boundaries for herself.

    There is not enough praise for this woman, and I’m so happy Brad has found her and fell in love with her beauty, strength and dreams.

    Good-Night. I’m waiting up for my Nephew. He’s late and I’m beginning to worry.

  105. dovesgate says:

    Thanks for the explanation ladies (at least, I think you are ladies). Snowblood, I don’t think I can join at the moment because as much as I might like Angelina I’m still on the fence about Brad.

    Anyway, of course she’s stressed out and exhausted with twins at home. Considering one at a time can be far from easy, twins just up the ante.

  106. drm says:

    She’s fabulous and so is Brad. I had twins in 94 and my older two were 9 and 6. I didn’t have help and I survived. She’s fine, the babies will be fine…and she will continue to be fab πŸ™‚

  107. pamela says:

    Jeanne, Didn’t you ever hear of a “tongue in cheek” comment? Its obvious Brad was joking.

  108. daisy424 says:

    Nina, You rarely if ever answer my posts.I would appreciate you not ignoring me again.

    Angelina hates herself? Because she has tattoos? The self mutilation was when she was younger.

    Let me ask you nina, have you changed any of your younger behavior or views in the past say 10 to 7 years? You say you are educated, don’t know your age now but, do you still act like a college student, or have you grown up?
    Do your parents still remind you or hold a grudge against you for things you did 10 years ago? Why do you hold other people you don’t even know to that standard/rule? Are you perfect?

    Most people change their old destructive behavior as they age. Especially when they take on the duties and responsibilties of parenthood.Do you have kids? Having children helped me grow up and mature very quickly.
    Adopting Maddox started this transition/change in Angelina. She has matured and grown, it’s obvious. She should be admired for her change, not criticised for it.
    Grudges in my experience are unhealthy and destructive. No one wins. Life is too short to harbor that much rancor and hatred.

    BTW:
    You were called out on a prior thread for attacking the physical appearance of Zazhara, a child. IMO, that is disturbing behavior for an adult. I am sure others would agree with me on that point alone.
    Should DCFS/authorities take your children or not allow you to adopt in the future for the comment you made a few days ago?
    Think about it.

  109. nina says:

    Daisy, my comment is in moderation and you’ll get your answer when it’s out πŸ™‚

  110. daisy424 says:

    Thanks for responding nina, even though I haven’t seen it yet πŸ˜‰
    The moderation can be frustrating, eh?

  111. Kris says:

    You guys are immature. Slamming Jennifer Aniston (the chin? Very original) is so stupid and you guys sound like catty bitches in high school. Get over yourselves.

  112. vdantev says:

    Kris:You guys are immature-blah blah blah blah…

    Again, like anyone here needs your approval. No one put a gun to your head to come here, to read anything, or to respond. The ‘mature’ thing to have done would be to find something else to do- but that didn’t occur to you.

    Pot to kettle, you’re black. I’ll get you at recess.

    Hello!

    I’m French and my name is Marie. I’m a daughter of a doctor. In our country, medical information, “dossier mΓ©dical”, is top secret, even if you are transferred from one hospital to another they are refusing to communicate the information / results they collected (and you pay twice the blood tests, which is sily). French are VERY attached to their privacy, as you now (they don’t write about their president mistresses or hidden children)…

    And French women are very cautious about what they eat while brest-fiding, not speaking about any sort of medication. They tell you here to avoid camomilla while pregnant or brest-feeding. Don’t forget that Boiron and lot of natural/homeopathic drugs are French.

    So… this article about Angelina seems “ureal”, to stay polite.:lol:

    Because I’m super immature and just want to belong, lol, I wanted to tell ya’ll I’m a closet BADette (oh, and I’m super duper trashy, too, cos I’m all inked up! πŸ˜€ )… I really don’t think it’s a secret I adore Angelina and think Brad is a beautiful example of how a man should be with family, I just don’t let myself get involved in the conversations because I just wanna scream “MAKE THE STUPID PEOPLE SHUT UP!” So, I make a point, usually, on NOT commenting on Angelina/Brad/Aniston posts. Quite frankly, I like Aniston, too, I’m a ridiculous Friends junkie and loved her on it and enjoy her light entertainment movies, too (I DID, however, think she was the one bad part of The Good Girl, that fake southern accent just makes me cringe).

    ANYWAY, lol, it just occured to me that I can’t very well be a BADette when the third letter stands for Defender, because I just said I make a point of NOT defending them. They don’t need my help, they’re doing damn fine without it! πŸ˜€

    What I actually came here to say, besides trying to get in with the cool crowd, lol, is… DAISYYYYYYYY, did you see my comment back to you about the tattoos on the closed up like a comment clam Aniston story???

    That’s all πŸ˜†

    Yeah, my husband got his first tattoo when I was over there this time. It’s HUGE, twice as big as the one I have that is the same thing (his family coat of arms that I re-did in Coastal Salish Native American elements, his culture/my culture kinda thing). He was a trooper! And he loves it and can’t wait to get another!

    Hey thanks for the insight, House Mouse. I know most doctor state-side are hesitant to prescribe anything for nursing mothers as well, especially when Mama is producing colostrum.

    Yea! The tattoo talk continues!

    I have five (so far) including a big, trashy, “dyke” tattoo on my deltoid (or “bicept”, if you’re savvy) which my boyfriend bought for me as a Christmas present. I’m going for a sleeve, eventually, but my collection is largely dependent on my income – which is unfortunately nonexsistant at the moment. Just waiting to land the right career so I can fund my life of deviance and debauchery (and closet B+A worship).

  127. pamela says:

    Jeanne, no i dont go from blog to blog reading crap about Brad and Angie. I visit 4 sites daily – Celebitchy, Just Jared, Lainey Gossip and Pittwatch, that’s it. It’s better for my health that way, both physical and mental. And if you want to believe that nonsense that they are going to have 2 more babies by year-end, more power to you.

  133. daisy424 says:

    CB; I thought this link would be helpful to you; http://hnn.us/articles/1885.html

    I know that CB had said earlier that it wasn’t fair to bash people because of their grammar, because they might not know English well. I agree.

    On the other hand, I have found it a ‘tell’ on who is who under different names . You get to know writing styles and key words and some are done on purpose.

    Dumdee; You come across to me as a serial rabble rouser. You seldom have a new idea to add, just bitter inane baiting.
    To quote you;’contradict yourself much?’ πŸ˜‰

  134. RAN says:

    Daisy, your comments are fantastic and make sense. I do have to take a different stance than you on dumdee though. Seems to me that dumdee was baiting a rabble rouser. Not the other way around. We didn’t call Snowblood out on the baiting and look where it got us. It’s not fair for one person to do it and it’s acceptable, but for someone like Dumdee to do it, it’s not.

  135. Mairead says:

    Spotshot – perhaps Diva’s dreams of Angie prepping her are disturbing (to you, they’re only dreams like) – but they’re only delusional if Diva were to actually believe them. πŸ˜‰

    Usually incorrect grammar in non-native speakers can be spotted because the sentence can seem backwards to us. This is especially the case in romantic languages which have a different sentence structure to English, a Saxon language.

    Personally I don’t care if I’m being old-fashioned. I went to a bilingual school, which means my knowledge of grammar is fairly minimal – but my understanding of it is decent. So if i can do it, nobody else has an excuse. πŸ˜›

    Where people are deliberately writing in a form “txt spk” it’s really difficult to understand it. Automatic spell-check on Firefox and Safari is brilliant – but there’s nothing stopping anyone from opening up dictionary.com in Internet Explorer either πŸ˜‰

  136. Kaiser says:

    @Diva, I interpret your dream as less about Angelina and more about being worried about getting the best medical care, and Angie’s just a stand-in for the Florence Nightengale-like ideal of medical care.

    But I’m crap at dream interpretation. I read a book about it once, and the only thing I remember is that if you dream about teeth, you’re worried about cancer or something…???

  137. daisy424 says:

    RAN, with all due respect πŸ˜‰ She is trying to bait Kaiser.
    I think it was yesterday when I logged on and scrolled down to see the recent comments.
    The majority of them were dumdee on different threads, not all AJ related, one was on a Madonna thread, where he/she was stirring up crap, just making crude remarks in reference to AJ, nothing else. Check back & you will see what I am referring to. πŸ˜‰

  138. RAN says:

    No need for me to double check Daisy, I believe you. I was caught up in my devil’s advocate mood… and thought I’d point out that piece about dumdee though.

  140. whatevs says:

    Since we’re on the subject of dreams, when you dream of teeth falling out it’s usually some sort of anxiety dream. I don’t know about just teeth in general but I’ve had several where my teeth fall out and it’s horrifying. Babies and birth usually mean some sort of new project or idea. Diva, maybe the AJ birth scenario is symbolic for the tattoo you’ll be getting. Maybe subconciously you think it’s a little “premature” and since she has tattoos you associate the two. A little far-fetched, but I’ve read a few books on dreams and I love trying to analyze them.

    No doubt, Angelina suffered from mental illness in her past and she seems to have things under control now. She’s human, she has faults, but she seems like a pretty stable person to me now. Why shouldn’t she have the right to adopt children? Has she ever actually harmed anyone other than herself in the past? She lives her life to the fullest, there is nothing wrong with that.
    And to add to that, I also hate hearing the vileness that spews in Jennifer Anniston’s direction as well. She seems like a good person who’s been having a span of bad luck in the relationship department. Let her be. The whole Manniston nickname is stupid. The lady does not look like a man, she is also very beautiful as well as Angelina and deserves happiness just the same.

    TATTOO TALK!!!

    Daisy – yeah, I drew my gravatar from a photo I took of my husband and I πŸ˜€

    JaundiceMachine – it’s taken me 10 years to get my 9 tattoos because they’re so damn expensive! My most expensive one was my last one, and he facked up the spelling of a latin word in it and had to fill in the area it was and reposition the latin phrase, so I got it for half price. But it ended up looking sweet, so it was all good! πŸ˜† I’m sort of on my way to a sleeve on my left arm, I have my latest one from my shoulder to about 1/3 of the way down my arm, my next one will be on the inside of my elbow, and I have the inside of my wrist and the top of my hand done… all of which I drew and designed πŸ˜€ I want to get tattoos on the top of my feet, but I really wish I would have done it before I lost a bunch of weight, lol, so my feet would have been fat and more cushion between the skin and the bone, lmao! I’m gonna do it, though… “Whatever our souls are made of…” in script on my right foot, and “His and mine are the same. E. Bronte” on my left.

    Whatevs – I had tattoos long before I knew who Angelina Jolie was, and don’t associate her with tattoos. One has nothing to do with the other, I can assure you. I believe the dreams have more to do with my pre-occupation with getting pregnant and not losing the baby like I did with our last one, and Jolie having just had twins, which, btw, are what I am pregnant with in my dreams. That’s it, nothing worshipy (is that a word, lol?), just associative.

    and now… ahem…

    ZOMG (hehe, got to use it! lol)… I didn’t dream Jolie was “prepping” me for BIRTH, lmao… I’ve been having dreams that I go into early labor (I’m not even pregnant, btw, just desperately want to be…) and she TALKS to me and keeps my mind off freaking out by talking about other things. Give me a facking BREAK, spotshot, lmao… the only person I want “prepping” me for birth is my mother.

    PLEH!!! πŸ˜†

    Daisy, my Bears fan…. do you guys still have Devin Hester? I thought he was awesome during your S/B year, but didn’t hear much from him last season. Let’s just consider how fun it will be if we’re in the Super Bowl together πŸ˜†

    I’m worried about my Steelers though… not sure how I feel about the new coaching regime in Pittsburgh. As long as it’s you or me (or ANYONE other than the Pats – should be a good year πŸ˜‰ )

    P.S… Your neighbor HAS to be right πŸ™‚

  144. Diva says:

    Oh no… I’m forced by geography and love of football and team to be RAN’s natural born enemy, lol.

    I live just south of Seattle. πŸ˜†

    RAN
    Devin Hester is a specialist, that’s why his pay is so low (under 500K I think), he has ‘saved’ the Bears a few times, but he is not showing up for practice and his fines are adding up. He can’t expect to get the $$ a receiver makes, he’s holding out IMO. 2 years left on his contract.
    I’m happy that the Bears had the brains to keep Hanie, every time Grossman would throw the ball, I would close my eyes…..

    Diva, I have a friend that lived in Puyallup. I flew out to see her 10 years ago (faux painted her foyer), and fell in love with Seattle!!!
    We were out on her deck late one night, her yard backed up to woods, and there were frigging coyotes that were ‘stalking’ us, howling, scared the crap out of me, she giggled at my fear, said it was common.
    She brought me to the Farmer’s Market down by a pier and to the Space Needle. Gorgeous weather when I was there, I think it was July.
    What was really cool was, as I was flying in at night, it was a full moon and it looked beautiful against Mt. Rainier.

  146. RAN says:

    Diva! Say it isn’t so! If it helps, I love your quarterback — Matt’s a sweet guy. You guys finally dropped whiny Shawn though, right? Pay him the big money and down goes the production πŸ˜‰

    Yeah, that was a controversial S/B! Oh well, at least we aren’t Raider/Pat’s fans πŸ˜†

    I’m jealous of both you and Daisy though.. have always wanted to see Seattle – let alone live there! Sounds fantastic! I just had a friend move there so I may be visiting someday, but til then….

    Daisy, I think one of my favorite football websites mentioned that Kyle Orton won the starting job. Not sure which one is worse — Kyle or Rex.

    If CB doesn’t mind… check out this website — http://www.profootballtalk.com — all the latest football news and gossip about ALL of our teams. I’ll warn you though, the owner of the site seems to favor Tom Brady although he tries to be impartial. Blech

  147. Diva says:

    I almost hit a baby, well, like, toddler, coyote yesterday on the highway. I don’t like coyotes, they kinda scare me, too, lol, but I would have cried for days if I’d have hit the little one!

    I grew up in the mountains in Montana, so I’m not a city girl at all, so I don’t go to Seattle much, Tacoma is about as far north as I get unless I’m going to the airport, but even in Montana the Seahawks were the closest team to get behind… cos I’d rather DIE than be a Bronco’s fan, lmao.

    I have a friend online I met in a chat room and we just call each other Pittsburgh and Seattle, lol… 2006 was a love/hate year for us, lmao.

    *loves how a thread about Jolie can turn into a thread about football here! πŸ˜†

    I loved Alexander… loved watching him play. It’s sad when someone who seems like genuinely a good guy, and fantastic athlete, lets the adulation go to his head.

  148. daisy424 says:

    Diva, our comments are still pertaining to the AJ/BP clan, A River Runs Through It and Legends Of The Fall were both filmed in Montana πŸ˜€
    RAN, thanks for the link, that site is fabulous πŸ˜‰
    Night ladies…….

  149. Diva says:

    A River Runs Through It took place right where I grew up! I actually knew the guy who wrote the book, Norman Maclean, he lived in the very small town outside of Missoula that I grew up in in his later years. The movie wasn’t filmed there, though πŸ˜›

  150. Bodhi says:

    All hail Missoula, MT!! Don’t stop the tattoo talk! I promised my mom I wouldn’t get any more visible tattoos before the wedding. But the adding stars on my ribcage os fair game!

  151. Diva says:

    “The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana!”

    Fave line of the movie!

    My next major tattoo (meaning large and expensive) is going to be on my back, Bodhi, which I’ve avoided until now because I wouldn’t get to look at it there, lol. It’s going to be a realistic rendering of Hadleigh Castle ruins (I’ve been obsessed with castles since I was little and Hadleigh has been my favorite for years even though it’s just ruins… THEN it was the first real English castle I actually got to visit because my husband and I live not even 10 miles from it! (I cried like a baby!) Just think that’s the coolest, romantic, “we were meant to be” story, hence the tattoo πŸ˜€ ) with like fairytale wind swirls and **STARS** around it, and a crescent moon with a face up in the corner. I can’t wait to get it and it will actually be my FIRST not readily visible tattoo! I’ve always said that there wasn’t any point if I couldn’t admire them! lol I guess I’ll be spending alot of time in front of the mirror with a hand mirror πŸ˜†

  152. Bodhi says:

    πŸ˜† Mine too! I really want big ole wings on my back; I’ve no clue what I want them to look like, but I know I want ’em! I have on “ohm” symbol on the back of my neck that I always forget about b/c I can’t see it!

    I bet you won’t forget about that though! It sounds beautiful & its such a great story!

  153. JaundiceMachine says:

    Sweet idea for a tat, Diva! A piece that imaginative and detailed can be quite ‘specive, but I’m sure you know the old adage . . . (“Cheap tattoos aren’t good . . .”) I’d love to sneak a peek when you get it done. . .

    After I save up a couple months, I’m hoping to get a circa 1980’s Storm (of X-Men fame) done as a rib piece. I figure I can start meditating now, so that by the time I earn enough money to make my dream a reality, I’ll be partcially numb to pain. (I give it 10 years, or so. :D)

    As for the feet – I have identical latin phrases on the outer side of me feetizies, and Lawd did they hurt! It’s sensitive area, to be sure – right on the bone and cartilage. Nothing says “badass” like a tat plopped on your foot though, so stick to your guns and get ’em! Just make sure you have a “gentle” artist who is sympathetic to all the bones on your tootsies. (And speaking of incorrect Latin phrases, I have an extra accent right above the ‘e’ on my right foot due to all the involuntary twitchin’ -no discount for bodily functions, sadly).

    And Seattle <3 <3 <3!!!. . . my home away from home . . . (even though I’ve only been thrice. . . but still!). I love Seattle so very, very much – such a unique vibe for such a large urban city. My bf’s best friends live in Seattle, and I’m sure we’d be living there, as well, if it weren’t for a) the overcast weather (SAD, much?) and b) that there are no mountain ranges for my beloved to climb. If you’ve never been, go!!! I can’t say enough great things about Seattle, except for Mike Holmgren and the Seahawks . . .

    . . .Which brings me to my third thought of the evening . . . ahem

    FUCK. FARVE. SPINELESS TRAITOR. BURN TO ASHES WITH JUDAS IN YOUR WRANGLER JEANS. FUCK. YOU.

    Sorry about that. The higher my blood-alcohol level, the louder my volume (even if it is on an internet forum).

  154. Buttercup says:

    I think I finally found my home :D. Finally a place where people can sanely talk about a celeb without all the insane nastiness that places like Perez Hilton and Dlisted allow. The folks over at Dlisted are incredibly anti anything brange which is fine but they are so nasty and bitter about it all, some of the posters there scare/worry me, they are sometimes worse than the really looney fans.

    Anyway nice to meet you all, you all seem like a nice bunch πŸ˜€ .

    OT: Of course Angie would be tired etc, heck I have only 1 child and he wears me out lol. I don’t know how people do it who have more than one kid, I say kudos to them.

  155. Diva says:

    Buttercup – Welcome! This is a great “home” for celeb gossip, I have this place open in a window whenever I’m online (which is pretty much 24/7 between work and a international long distance marriage!).

    But you’re gonna see some pretty ridiculous crap even here when it comes to the Ang/Brad/Jen thing. The three of them seem to be very important to some people, good and bad, lol.

    So, make yourself at home like many of us do, and enjoy the entertainment, cos it gets crazy sometimes, lol!

  156. Buttercup says:

    Thanks Diva!

    Yes I was just doing some reading on another thread – the Tim Gun/JA one, and all I thought was ‘good grief’. Still at least CB seems to do her best at keeping the nastiness down a few pegs, the awfulness that Dlisted has become has led me to look for somewhere else to hang out, the posters over there are getting as bad as the truely crazy brangiloonies (I don’t mean the people here btw, you guys seem very ‘normal’ to me! :-)).

  157. Whatever says:

    Hmm, maybe Angie and Brad will calm down on thechild collecting now. Cute little babies grow up, I guess they finally are learning that.

  158. daisy424 says:

    Buttercup, I agree about D-listed, my stomach churns when I start to read those comments.
    Welcome to CB, this site is fun and the people are usually great. πŸ˜‰

  159. I follow your posts for a long time and should tell that your posts are always valuable to readers.
