Brad Pitt feels bad when he talks about his kids, but they drive him crazy


Brad Pitt’s partner, Angelina Jolie, is usually quite open with the press and often tells cute stories about her six children. Brad is a little more guarded when it comes to his family, though. The 44 year-old proud father had an interview with Ann Curry which aired on the Today Show this morning. He talked about the one year anniversary of his sustainable housing project in New Orleans, Make it Right, and is promoting his upcoming film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He told Curry that he would rather not talk about his kids.

Curry: “You don’t want to talk about your personal life?”
Pitt: “I just walk away feeling bad about it when I do, because there’s no way to give it true validity and weight and what it means to you in your life – and it seems to get cheapened somehow as it goes through the filter and the airwaves, and some things you just want to keep close to the chest.”

Curry: “Why do you think people are so curious?”
Pitt: “I will say this. I’m really proud of this family. I look at my sons and my daughters. One’s from Vietnam, one’s from Cambodia, and one’s from Ethiopia, and there’s this kid who was born in Namibia and in France. They’re brothers and sisters, man. They’re fighting, they’re laughing, and they’re going into hysterics, they’re staying up late, and they’re messing with their parents and they’re driving me crazy. I truly… feel rich being around them. It’s a rich home, and each one of them offers so much to the mix. [smiles]

“Surprisingly, though, six kids is not as easy as you would think.”

Curry: “Which is why people think that you guys are nuts wanting to have more.”
Pitt: “You know what a difference you can make. It’s selfish, too, you know what you get out of it.”

Pitt said that the love you have for adopted children is “automatic.”

Pitt talked about his love of photography with Curry, but says that he “hates” the paparazzi:

Pitt: “I hate ’em. I hate these people. I don’t understand that they do that for a living. We have to make a distinction between people who photograph celebrities at events and people who climb over your walls wearing camouflage and calling out your kids names as you take them to school so that they’ll look that way. I have no respect for these people…

“There should be laws against it. They should not be able to follow kids like this.” [Transcribed from Pitt’s appearance on The Today Show, 12/2/08]

Pitt also said that he would marry Angelina “If we feel it’s important to our kids.”

You can tell he’s a proud dad and can’t help but talk about his kids, but I bet he feels bad about a couple of the things he said on Oprah, like how Zahara made him smell dog poop once and how Shiloh makes them call her John or Peter after Peter Pan. He probably realizes that these things might come back to haunt his kids some day, and is making a conscious effort not to embarrass them. All kids do things like that though.

Pitt is also featured on the cover of this month’s Architectural Digest Magazine for a feature about the Make it Right Project. He is shown wearing his trademark hat and standing in front of one of the first six completed homes, where families previously displaced by Hurricane Katrina will spend the holidays. He says he hopes to see 100 more homes finished by next year.

Brad, Angelina and their six children are currently in New Orleans. The famous couple was seen at the New Orleans premiere of Pitt’s new movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, last night.

    He seems to be a good father and is contributing his celebrity to doing good for others. It’d be wonderful to see more celebrities adopt and do good charitable work (except for Madge the Vadge).

  2. Kaiser says:

    Damn, he looks good on that AD cover. I like Brad more and more as the years go by, and the whole “I’m not going to talk about the kids” and then he talks about the kids is so funny.

    CB, are there any pics of the front of Angie’s dress at the premiere?

  3. dr.grrl says:

    *sigh*

    he’s so dreamy!! i concur with mr. t

    it’s great to see a “A” list celebrity do good with their fame and fortune.

  4. gossipmonger says:

    Brad’s eyes are photo shopped… His eyes must have been haggard that day..

  5. eve says:

    if he feels bad, imagine how we feel. shut up already.

    and that goes for you too, Angie.

    you’re boring and fake and we just don’t care.

  6. vdantev says:

    Yay !! The early morning edition of the Brad/AJ/JA cross-comment hate-fest !! Who wants a dry martini ?

  7. Bodhi says:

    Actually, some people do.

    That is a great cover!

  8. Mairead says:

    Oooh Architectural Digest. Prestigeous! Regarding the cover, their style does favour hyoer-contrasted colour photography and saturated colours which can make skin-tones look a bit odd, but makes buildings and skies look really vivid and rich.

    Don’t stop talking about your kids Brad, apart from the article in the Architectural bible their anecdotes I’m finally finding your interviews interesting! πŸ˜‰

  9. yadira says:

    I think him talking about the kids makes him sexier. He seems to be a loving and devoted father and that is always admirable….combine that with those blue eyes and we have one hot papa πŸ˜‰

  10. Codzilla says:

    Really nice cover shot. I think he looks so much better when he doesn’t dye his hair/beard/brows.

  11. cara says:

    If there was ever a mag to be on the cover of, AD would be the one.

  12. nina says:

    Angelina should learn from Brad about not talking so much about personal life. I think he realizes too how cheap her ramblings sound once typed up in the media.

  13. Starla says:

    I’m with you, eve.

  14. Celebitchy says:

    Kaiser the agencies we subscribe to don’t have the front shots of Angelina’s dress, but I just saw a video over at The Insider. (This link leads to a video which launches automatically.)

  15. Lore says:

    Ok, that first quote is perfect. Mr. Pitt can’t describe the meaning (weight is a great word in this sense) that his family has for him but in trying he feels like it cheapens it. It does sir, it does. So stop, tell your partner to stop because some things are too special to be shared, but in giving the world a vague idea of what your family is, you are, albeit unwittingly, making your family seem like a useful, attractive conversation piece but not much more than that. So stop. Let the coming years of your children speak for themselves, otherwise those children will have nothing to “hold close to the chest” because little by little their private little stories and lives are being revealed on a superficial level to a largely uncaring world.

  16. Kaiser says:

    CB – Thanks! I actually saw the front of the dress over at LaineyGossip. It’s not all that special, it actually looks more interesting from the back! *worshipping buttoned slit*

  17. geronimo says:

    He really deserves credit for all the work he’s doing in NO and I’m warming to him more because of the barely-contained, almost childlike, joy he takes in his kids and family. Still not seeing the ‘hot’ but he’s definitely going up in my estimation…

  18. Holly says:

    Geez, all the talk of the Brad-Angelina lovers and haters gettin’ into fights here, and yet while its always heralded and announced as an inevitability…I’ve never actually seen one.

  19. Susan says:

    It must really bother him when Angie talks about family and the kids so much. I realize that the middle age women love it when he talks about family but it really does make it cheap – his family is for sale and he knows it. Take Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, ben Affleck etc. these actors really know the meaning of keeping family private and I think that Brad feels kind of like a two bit circus. Really sad. Of course paps will always take pictures but Brad and Angie have talked way to much about family and used their children to promote their careers. Notice now that to sell his movie they take private family pictures, he is going on larry king, ellen, oprah, today show, and on and on. What has Sean Penn been on? And word has it that he will for sure get nominated. Brad and ANgie need to learn to talk about their movies and acting and not sell family for success.

  20. Tess says:

    When he wears that hat, I can’t help it, but I always think of the scene in the Godfather where, just before he unexpectedly drops dead, Marlon Brando entertains his grandson by dancing around with orange peels in his mouth.

  21. Susan says:

    Also very interested how Brad talked so much about Gwen and Jen and protected them and openely spoke of his love for them. He called Gwen his angel. Why not Angie. He rarely says a word about her. Very strange. Angie goes on and on about Brad what a wonderful father, lover, friend, etc. Almost in every interview she brings him up even when they don’t ask about him. Now, Brad almost says nothing. Wonder why.

  22. Rose says:

    Did he have kids with Gwen and Jen? No? Guessing he feel actions speak louder than workds these days.

  23. Kristen says:

    My questions to all of you who want them to shut up

    WHY DO YOU READ IT, LISTEN TO IT OR WATCH IT?

    If your so sick of them. Then why don’t YOU stop reading and shut up?

  24. Mairead says:

    Susan, just to say firstly that I think you made your first point clearly and well and while I may not agree completely with it, I think you have a valid point in the general. I do think it’s wasted in only ever applying it to this couple though (apologies if I’m wrong, but I’ve not seen any other celeb being tarred with the same brush). But I’d be interested to read your thoughts on this article: http://www.celebitchy.com/23840/reese_witherspoon_on_sending_her_assistant_to_tour_paris_sewer_with_her_son/
    as it hasn’t been picked up on by those who feel that telling any public anecdotes about one’s children is selling their privacy out for personal kudos.

    On the other point, chances are Sean Penn will be nominated for Milk as it’s meant to be a very good performance in a good film. I’m not sure what that has to do with the opening of 8 out of 150 houses in the Pink Project though.

    I just watched the video clip above and I wish they asked more about the Pink Project and maybe took a quick walk through one of them, rather than that silly gazebo set-up they had there. He may be a hobbytect, but it’s one of the most interesting interviews with him I’ve seen. Loved the little nerdy chat about lenses though. More of that convo would have suited me down to the ground πŸ˜†

  25. geronimo says:

    Amazing. He talks about AJ in this interview here but I guess it suits some people to ignore evidence which plainly contradicts their dreary and desperately repetitive viewpoint.

  26. Kaiser says:

    Seriously, Rose. I guess Angie will have to cry herself to sleep every night knowing that she and Brad have a beautiful family of eight. Oh wait, Brad and the kids are in bed with her as she cries. *sob* πŸ˜†

    Jan – The interview was with Brad, not Angelina.

  27. jeannified says:

    I like them BOTH ALOT, but he seemed irritated and kept looking away alot during this interview. I know he likes Ann Curry, but he didn’t act very respectful toward her. I don’t understand it…him supposedly NOT wanting to talk about the kids, and then doing just that. I wonder if someone told him that he shouldn’t talk about them so much. Hmmm…

    Also, I don’t buy for a minute that he and Angie want to get married when EVERYONE can, or even if the kids want them to. I think he would marry her in a minute, if she would marry him. Hopefully they will one day. I DO like them BOTH!

  28. Susan says:

    Mairead: Exactly this post is about Brad/Angie so I bring them up. Agreed that Reese was selling out her family. While it is fine to say you love them, enjoy them ect. personal stories on national TV is deifnitely a selling out of a family. Now if you watch the really big players in the movie industry Cate, Johnny, Matt, Tom Hanks,etc. they rarely talk about family. Once in a rare while and then in a vague way. Brad is working towards an Oscar. Good for him. That is his business and being awarded the highest honor after years – it really is due him. HOwever he sells his family to be noticed when he really doesn’t need to. I honestly think that the academy sees this as desperate. I also think it is great that he is working in NO but think that using it when a movie is coming out is just a little sad. Do the promotion of NO and the movie at a different time. Notice that Angie when to a thrid world right before her movie cam out and now Brad. Matt, Ben they go to third world countries at random times not to use it to promote a movie.

    Also with regard to Brad talking. I just really think that Angie is the one who is putting out more into this relationship. I don’t think it would kill Brad to talk a little more about his love for her etc when she gushes over him alot. I realize that Brad can do no wrong in his fans eyes but I really think that out of respect for Angie and being mother of his children he could open up a little more. She has taken a lot of nasty press and not once has he in anyway defended her.

  29. breederina says:

    @ dante, bombay gin, black olive. It’s like the “Night of the Hunter” hand wrestle around here when the Jolie Pitts pop up and all that love/hate makes a gal thirsty!

  30. Mairead says:

    Ah but Susan you can’t have it both ways, he can’t talk more about Angie and say less about his homelife overall πŸ˜‰ (I’m not saying this to attack you, just a bit of light debate).

    Perhaps everything was planned since last year and perhaps it was just serendipity on Brad’s part, but this interview in New Orleans because the Make it Right Project is just over a year old and the first families have moved in which is why he was being interviewed on-site. it’s a very tangible way to update the public and show that the project is doing what it set out to do.

    The list of other actors you’ve mentioned I really admire too. But I do think you’re applying patterns to one couple when they possibly exist in others too. For example, Ben Affleck was recently in the Congo promoting a cause (I was one of the few people who bothered to comment on that thread here) – but He’s Not That Into You is out in January. Cate Blanchett was nominated as Committee Chair for the 2020 Australia Summit in April, just before Indiana Jones premiered.

    I’m not saying they’re doing any of these for attention, what I’m saying is that you can stretch the facts to fit any pattern you wish. I remember Tom Cruise getting accused of staging life-saving rescues before a big film was to go on release. But while maybe one rescue was coincidental, the remainder wouldn’t have had any bearing whatsoever. But it won’t stop his detractors (and I’m one) seeing that pattern though.

  31. irl says:

    I respect his work in NO but he has only jumped into what AJ has been interested in.
    If not, why wasn’t he herald for all his involvement with charities and children before?
    He’s lame and boring. He morphs into whatever his current woman is into.
    I don’t care for AJ much at all but she’s clearly more self assured and interesting then him.

  32. Beth says:

    OK, is it just me, or are others a hair perplexed by this housing charity?

    I mean, nice. He has built 10 homes for victims of the Katrina disaster. But HELLO?! Have you seen these homes? They are like Million + dollar homes. Seems to me they probably could have built 10x as many homes for 10x as many families:?: – modest yet suitable- for the cost it probably took to build these (very stylish, gorgeous) homes that 10 families will be uber-lucky to have (?? is that the plan??) rather than many more.
    THOUGHTS??

  33. Your Friend says:

    This is a load of BS. I love to hear celebs bitch about paparrazzi and then talk about the good they do with money that is largely generated by image.

    Its goofy and phoney and that is why we give them stupid names – BRANGELINA! These two take on charity projects and cases(children) like new toys. That is easy when you don’t really have to do the work yourself (nannies, nonprofit directors etc).

    Seriously, our celebs are so distorted that adopting or having children is equivalent to saving the world. It so selfish. “Our little idealized, multicultural family shows that there is true hope for humanity.”

    Its must be ridiculous to be them and wake up one day and say, “Hey, I think I’ll start a charity.” Buzz off. You’re not interesting. You are not saving the world. No one want to hear your thoughts on life.

    Give your loot to good cause and get out of the way. You’re no Paul Newman.

  34. what is ever. says:

    I thought the same thing Beth, that house looks insane- and then his quote about wanting to build 100 more by the end of the following year, even though it took a year to build those 10…

    I think the work is great, I’m just a bit confused. πŸ˜•

  35. Mairead says:

    Beth – the houses cost $150,000 to build and the architects are donating their services for free. 150 houses are planned. They began building the houses earlier this year.

    I don’t know exactly how much it costs to build a reasonable-sized house in the US but it sounds about right from what I know about British and Irish standards. You have to factor in preparation of the ground, necessary floodworks as well as everything else. Also these are meant to be as sustainable as possible and use renewable energies to reduce the homeowners overall energy bill. You’re just not going to get anything other than a prefabricated cabin for $15,000 dollars. There are arguements that other models using remodelled containers,which still function well and look beautiful, but still cost less could have been explored. But this is the model chosen, and I personally don’t have a problem with it.

    I understand your thought-process, but on this you are wrong. Not an opinion, but a widely-held and well-informed belief amongst sociologists, architects and planners informed by the mistakes of inner-city clearances and post-war building programmes throughout Europe.

    Then they looked at houses as just units to put displaced families into. It didn’t matter about quality, because isn’t anything better than what they were coming from? This lead to fractured families and fractured communities leading to widespread crime. The buildings themselves began to deteriorate quickly (and in the case of one or two apartment blocks collapse) and weren’t cost effective to run or repair. So large areas of 1950s-1980s social housing must be revamped or completely rebuilt.

    if you give people crap, they will respond accordingly to it. In turn if you give them quality, they will respond positively to it. In this area, if you give the people crap, it won’t last any length at all and you’ll have a mass crisis yet again and further examples of the needs of already marginalised communities put on the back burner.

    Also, you are dealing with a fairly confined brownfield site in the 9th Ward. There are a limited number of buildings you can place within the allocated site, which can resist weather events reasonably well, provide for services such as footpaths and roads and open-space and still give the people there a decent quality of life.

  36. what is ever. says:

    Thank you Mairead for going into depth, it makes perfect sense in that way.

  37. Susan says:

    What I would love is to see Brad and Angie live in one of these houses for a year with no help. Even you fans have to admit that would be a riot. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that. Can you imagine Brad out working and Angie at home getting kids ready for school, etc and then serving Brad and family of 8 cereal for supper. Seriously that could be a reality show!

    What I do find interesting about the project however is that the government has taken a lot of flack for not doing what they should. I am not sure how many houses brad has built to this point. Is it greater than 10? So far people have donated millions, brad 5 million his partner 5 million. That is a lot of money for the number of houses up in one year. Now if the government had 30 million and only had built 10 houses in one year people would be crazy mad. I know that their are more coming but seriously this is very slow. A good project but he will be using it for the next 10 years every time he promotes a film.

    And on the comment about you cannot have it both ways. Very true. However Brad does talk about family he says he doesn’t want to – but he does. He also sells pictures of the babies. So if you are going to talk don’t pretend you don’t want to. Since he is talking it does look rude not to really talk about his love for Angie. Just saying. Does he mean by his statement that he regrets Oprah and the W spread? Just wondering.

  38. irl says:

    LOL! Perfectly said @ 8:11 Your Friend.

  39. PJ says:

    Brad’s comment that he’ll marry Angelina β€œif we feel it’s important to our kids” repeats what Angelina recently said.

    Incredible! How can they let a 3, 4, or 6-year-old decide whether their parents should marry or not? That is sooo dysfunctional. They are giving the kids way too much power.

  40. Cheyenne says:

    The homes are budgeted at $150,000 apiece. 8 have been completed and 86 more are fully funded and are currently under construction. So far $88,000 has been raised toward construction of the 87th home. (The homes are targeted for construction as funding becomes available.) All funds come from donations and any amount is welcome. Anyone who wants to donate can go here:

    http://www.makeitrightnola.org

    The houses are built on concrete piles 8 feet off the ground in the event of another catastrophic hurricane.

  41. Wif says:

    Mairead, I don’t really know about these housing projects, and don’t have time to research it, but I have to disagree. Maybe your argument is based off of real studies and stuff so I’m totally wrong here, but I just don’t buy the logic that people in smaller homes are more apt to crime etc. I live in a co op. They are townhouses and our 50 families here are diverse, some are professors, some are on welfare, some are RIM geeks, some are stay-at-home moms. We are all very happy in our small homes living cooperatively. My understanding was that when you have a group of predominantly impoverished people all living together that’s what makes crime rates rise, not the size of the home.

    The best reason that I can see for these beautiful expansive homes are to maintain the cultural and aesthetic beauty of NO, but otherwise, I have to agree with the Habitat for Humanity practice of making good quality smaller homes and doing more of them.

  42. Wif says:

    Oh..and vdantev, I would LOVE one of those martinis. And if you can find me a babysitter, I’ll take two drinks please.

  43. Mairead says:

    Thanks for providing those numbers.

    That time-frame doesn’t sound hugely different from many private developer estates that have been thrown up all over the Ireland in the past 10 years. Usually it’s a phased programme with houses rolled out as they’re built. In larger estates you would definitely have people starting to live in the estates way before the whole thing is completed. It’s probably a little bit longer in this case as they’re reliant on getting all of the funds of a house prior to beginning construction.

    The overall cost is going to be way higher than $22.5 million for the basic build of the houses alone. There is the cost of providing services, paving and landscaping which I’m assuming they either provide or they pay the city of New Orleans to provide. And so things like sight-lines, accessibility, parking etc etc all have to be looked at. Well that’s an assumption based on the Irish and to a lesser extent the British models that I’m familiar with.

  44. Cheyenne says:

    At the risk of being redundant, I am going to explain yet again why Brad and Angie sold the kids’ photos to People and Hello, because there are some people posting on here who just do not seem to get it.

    Brad has explained it himself: somebody is going to get photos of the kids with or without their consent. If the paparazzi take photos without their consent, they will sell the photos to the tabloids and pocket the money. If Brad and Angie sell the photos, they will sell them to a reputable magazine (not a tabloid), and they will use the money to benefit a charity of their choosing.

    I don’t see why anyone should have a problem with this. Do you expect them to just donate the photos to the magazines? Why should they? Would you?

  45. Mairead says:

    Wif – I apologise if it appeared that I was saying that small houses lead to crime.

    I meant that poor quality housing and bad planning and spatial management in the past lead to fractured and disjointed housing schemes with no sense of community. this then lead to social problems such as isolation, lack of personal interest or investment in the community which became a breeding ground for crime.

    By aiming these houses at the former residents of the Lower 9th they are attempting to foster an existing community spirit, which is in keeping with international best practice for social housing (keep families and existing networks as close together as possible).

    If Habitat for Humanity housing is made using good quality materials and is efficient and cost-effective to run, with care and thought put into planning the estates then I am absolutely for it.

    But even so I will doggedly stick to my assertion that good quality build and design improves not just the quality of the streetscape but the quality of life for those living within it. πŸ˜‰

  46. mollination says:

    He really is just flat-out sexy. It’s not fading at all. Just evolving into different kinds of sexiness. I love love love that voice of his. GOD!

    I have requested “fight club” more than once when a boyfriend-fling-whathaveyou asks what movie I want to “watch” while we snuggle on the couch-bed-whathaveyou. And let me tell you…it’s the best background noise aphrodisiac EVER!

    T.M.I? sorry. 😳

  47. DD says:

    Just one thing, how does Shiloh being born in Namibia somehow make her more special. She spent a couple of days there, she wasn’t raised there. It’s lovely that they bought out a country so that they can claim it’s their daughter’s birthplace. Lack of intelligence on their part if you ask me.

  48. Wif says:

    Thanks for your thoughtful response Mairead. I certainly would agree that good quality housing should be the rights of all citizens. If only we could get the governments to fully back that up and make sure that proper housing is available for all.

  49. Rosanna says:

    It’s good that he realises that not the entire planet is interested in his kids the way he is! Most parents don’t!!! πŸ˜†

  50. vdantev says:

    I think the AJ JA crowd need to settle their differences in the old Highland manner; bare-fisted, topless and each carrying an 8 lb. baby.

  51. Bodhi says:

    Incredible! How can they let a 3, 4, or 6-year-old decide whether their parents should marry or not? That is sooo dysfunctional. They are giving the kids way too much power.

    I really don’t think that is what he meant. My take on it is that, in years to come, when the kids can actually understand the concept of “marriage”, he & Angie would consider it.

    They aren’t gonna haul off & get hitched JUST because Princess Z demands it

    Edit: πŸ˜† @ Dante! People would shell out mad cash for that!

  52. whatevs says:

    Cheyenne, not trying to be a bitch here, but do you secretly work for them or something? I can’t imagine anyone doing the research and spending as much time defending them if they’re not on the payroll. If you’re just a fan, you’re a very dedicated one.

    And my question wasn’t based entirely on this one thread, I’ve actually been meaning to ask for awhile.

  53. Cheyenne says:

    LOL, no, I don’t work for them, but I do like to check my facts before posting on here, unlike some people who parrot whatever bullshit the tabloids spew out.

    The Makeitright website has been up months now. Anybody can check it. All it takes is a couple of clicks.

    I could just as easily ask if a few people who incessantly attack this family on every single thread are trolls in the pay of Huvane, but there’s no point in going there. Some people just have too much time on their hands.

  54. o says:

    ho hum.

    they both have cheated on their spouses.
    before long, they’ll be at it again.

    adopting a bunch of kids won’t make up for the way they treated their so-called lovers. they’re as shallow as they come.

  55. whatevs says:

    @Cheyenne, Thanks for clearing that up and not taking offense, it’s hard to tell if people are being sarcastic or sincere sometimes. And I agree, some people obviously have too much time on their hands. Not anyone in particular, don’t hate me people.

  56. Granger says:

    You know, some of the comments on here are very intelligent and thoughtful. I really hope the people who write them spend as much time voicing their opinions on politics or humanitarian issues. Cuz really, much as I love ’em, celebs like the Jolie-Pitts aren’t worthy of this much debate! πŸ˜†

  57. o says:

    to granger:

    you’re right.

  58. wise_adviser says:

    Susan, congratulations. It is refreshing to see someone so balanced, very good points and very respectful.

    =)

  59. Kim says:

    Either he is very dumb or he is stupid or both. He thinks talking about his children cheapens everything. Yet he sells photos of them to a tabloid including cheap photos of their mother butt and nipple showing and breast feeding. She is derided, called trash and cheapened that her children would throw up if they read things that were written about that photoshoot. Then he thinks talking about his children cheapens everything? Now that is an extreme contradiction if I ever saw one.

    I agree he never gushes about Angelina like he did his former loves ‘of his life’. Now that is rather curious. But then, I don’t think he is in love with her. She knows this. He did not choose her, she chose him and she will leave him, when she can get publicity out of it.

    Finally, my simple advice to you Brad is, when you stop cheapening your family and start respecting it in your actions, the paparazzi will respect you. You make money of your children and use them as PR props so why wouldn’t every one else?

    While at it. Tell your lady friend to stop yappping on and on about your children. We get it, it is her only claim to fame but still, it is cheap, very cheap.

  60. Cheyenne says:

    Um… the lady friend is an Oscar-winning actress who is famous all over the world for her acting chops.

    We know you hate the woman, but your inability to see reality is becoming ludicrous.

  61. Kim says:

    Cheyenne, you are the one who always behaves like you are on some kool aid. So many actresses have better acting chops and Oscars but are not that famous. Hillary Swank for one, 2 oscars but who knows her?

    Angelina wanted fame and this love triangle gave her that.

    By the way, getting an Oscar for acting as yourself is no big deal. Wake me up when she gets an Oscar for acting as a sane normal woman. In some of her movies, her acting has been cringe worthy and vomit inducing, Alexander any one?

    Acting chops? She is not Meryl Streep πŸ™„ .

  62. Another's opinion says:

    The so called arm-chair internet-blog critic are the only one saying that Angelina cannot act. But people who know what acting is praised her acting skills. Those 3 Golden Globe, 2 SAG Awards, 1 Oscar and other various awards that she got speak for itself.

  63. Duckie says:

    Never mind Brad Pitt, Make it Right has Mike Holmes’ involvement.

    (swoon)

  64. LISA says:

    Architectural Digest? After all this time and publicity Brad Pitt’s organisation has built SIX homes? When do they expect the additonal 94 to be finished? How long are the other 94 families to remain displaced while Brad indulges his architectural “passion” and squeezes this for all the publicity he can get?

  65. kate says:

    why is he wearing grandpa hats all of a sudden – is he losing his hair?

  66. Mimi says:

    I know this is not a nice thing to say, but I think he just doesn’t have the fire he once did. It’s that scruffy, bad-ass, facial hair thing. I so preferred the “River Runs Through It” look.

  67. Vixen says:

    He just looks old and drained now!
    And I’m soooooo sick of hearing about these two!

  68. vdantev says:

    And I’m soooooo sick of hearing about these two!

    Then quit f*ck*ng reading stories about them !! πŸ‘Ώ πŸ‘Ώ How hard is that? Apparently VERY hard for some of you dumbtards.

  69. gg says:

    Make mine a dirty Stolie with 4 big fat green olives.

  70. Sickitten says:

    Again, I, sickitten do take vdantev to be-oh hell you know the rest.

  71. Sickitten says:

    Brad got what he wanted and more. 0-6 kids in less than 3 years. I’m sure he is happy.

    gg: Can you pass one of those over? If you could lace it with a couple Xanax, all the better.

  73. daisy424 says:

    I’m your Huckleberry Codzilla, how many mg? 8)

  74. Codzilla says:

    Daisy: As many mgs as you can spare. πŸ˜€

  75. daisy424 says:
