Oooh, the second Brangelina cover story in a row for People Magazine. And still no quotes from Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie! Still, People Mag has sources close to Brangelina and I’m sure that this cover and last week’s cover were “approved” by Team Brangelina. This week’s story is about how Brad supported Angelina during her mastectomy surgeries:
Talk about teamwork. In the weeks surrounding Angelina Jolie’s preventive double mastectomy and subsequent reconstructive surgery, her fiancé, Brad Pitt, served as her No. 1 support.
At the bustling home they share with their six kids in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, “Brad did everything he could to keep things secret and protect Angie,” a family insider tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.
Using early morning appointments and rental cars to avoid discovery, “They really wanted Angie to be able to recover and rest before they shared the story,” says the insider.
The actress’s medical ordeal only deepened the bond between Jolie, 37, and Pitt, 49, a couple for seven years. Those close to them say the pair’s teamwork is always on display, in public and private.
“They are very loving and inspiring to each other, exchanging ideas,” says Jeremy Kleiner, a longtime exec at Pitt’s Plan B production company and producer on his upcoming movie World War Z.
On-set, “He would light up when his family showed up. It’s just a very cool thing to see.”
For much more on this story, including Angelina’s next surgery and how Brad’s family has supported her, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
People Mag keeps referencing Angelina’s “next surgery” and stuff – while Angelina referenced the idea of a partial hysterectomy or the removal of her ovaries, she hasn’t verified anywhere (that I’ve seen) that she’s planning that surgery any time soon.
Would you like an Uncool Bermuda Triangle story? Of course you would. The National Enquirer reports this week that Jennifer Aniston “cried” when she heard about Angelina’s mastectomy. A source says: “She was moved beyond belief reading Angelina’s story. It really took her by surprise how brave she is. To go through such a major thing for all her family has made Jen realise that regardless of how they hooked up, Angelina does really love Brad and [their six] kids. Sure, Jen got hurt when Brad left her and the pain dragged on for years, but she’s so over it now, and wants to extend an olive branch to Angelina.” Sure. Okay. I don’t believe it but whatever.
Here’s Jennifer’s video for her guest hosting Ellen’s show. This makes me think that they are all terrible actors.

That fluffy white dress is one of Angelina’s best looks ever. Stunningly beautiful.
Yes it is. I loved her whole look that night.
As far as the “Friends” actors, the show was funny because of the writing, which is evident by the lack thereof in this clip.
But to be fair, Lisa and Matthew Perry were/are naturally funny in their craft. They brought the funny from the script to the screen. And Aniston was always the weakest link of the bunch.
+1 and then some. That’s why it irritates me that the least talented member of that ensemble still gets more attention than the other 5 put together – all because of her divorce and endless search for true love, not her talent or body of work.
I disagree. JA is a gifted comedic actress. She was incredibly funny and natural on set. I’ll never forget an early scene where a pigeon flew into the window and landed on the kitchen table, and how she clapped a cake tin over it.
Agreed – it made her look so soft and somehow more approachable, too.
What I get from the secrecy surrounding this is that celebrities can keep things private when they want to, and pretty much everything that ordinarily seems like such an intrusion into their lives is simply part of their PR machine.
This! Now that he is gearing up to sell his next film he is using his partners preventative health measures to his advantage. Just gross. He perpetuates this Bermuda triangle with intentionally questionable comments on his former marriage. So gross. Not sure how anyone can be a fan of his.
Listen NYDaily News brought up the Parade Magazine interview from 2011 Brad has not mentioned his ex or his marriage
Right, that’s why in interview after interview, Brad talks about “ten years ago”.
Angie married down.
Some people’s reactions are absolutely Pavlovian. Pitt didn’t mention Aniston in the Esquire piece; the writer and the makeup artist mentioned her and only in passing.
Maybe the mention in passing is why some is spitting nails.
YES I totally agree with you.
Exactly right – that’s why when you hear celebs complain about the paps, take it with a huge grain of salt, because, more often than not, they had someone on their team alert the paps as to their whereabouts, THEN they feign indignation, but wallow in the attention – it’s all part of the game.
I completely agree. There are so many celebrities that you never hear anything about, but some seem to be in the public eye ALL the time.
“There are so many celebrities that you never hear anything about, but some seem to be in the public eye ALL the time.”
—>I think that depends with the demand of public to get to know about a certain celebrity.
Example, Cate Blanchett. Good actress, but no one interested to find out about her private life outside the movie. No one want to know about her “family secret/past scandal” (if there’s any). There’s nothing really to “create” about her private life that could gain interest for people to buy a tabloid if they publish a “juicy” gossip about her.
Another example, Robsten. I do not have to tell you about how good or bad their acting 😀 , but they definitely have public interest outside their movie. Even if there’s no gossip about them, they would create one. The more drama in the story, the better.
As for the Jolie-Pitt, I think they know that they still hold public interest regarding their life in private. Tabloids would still made up a story about them to make money, paparazzi would still trying to get the newest pictures of them and the family to make money, so they decided to choose when and where the paparazzi could get tidbits of their life.
Remember when the tabloids couldn’t get any picture of the twin? The down syndrome drama? http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/The-Jolie-Pitt-Twins-Have-Down-Syndrome-Says-Star-2.jpg/
The Jolie-Pitt kept silent and when they’re finally ready, they’re making an appearance so that public would know everything was actually fine.
Was it a photo op? Sure.
But I don’t see anything wrong with that. They’re just being smart. And you should being smart in handling the paparazzi in Hollywood. A picture often worth a thousand words.
This truth here.
They are ‘the most hunted couple on earth’ according to their stans when they are seen in photo-ops (hey it’s not their fault you know?!) yet her people were able to keep a massive surgery secret for months while she was in public for her UN work. Not one peep from doctors, a clinic, ‘family sources’, editors for her articles, colleagues. Not even 1 tiny silly rumour. Not.A.Peep.
This is what makes them great though (definitely Jolie imo). Too bad the stans see it as a negative when non-stans point this out. They need to be spontaneous I guess but that’s not how Moviestar works.
The article states how they were able to avoid the paps
“Using early morning appointments and rental cars to avoid discovery”
So what you’re saying they should take their kids to the movies early in the morning or the midnight show. The park before sunrise. They should use rental cars and taxis to get around town with six kids. You obviously didn’t read the article.
As for Angie’s surgery being used to Promote Brad’s movie, his movie premieres in 3 weeks and I still haven’t seen him on the talk show circuit. Brad goes all out to promote his moviess. He interviewed with Esquire on April 1 and didn’t mention anything about Angie’s surgery. But even if he does interviews now, that’s his obligation as an Actor and Executive Producer and I’m sure reporters will ask questions.
Or are you suggesting that now that his partner had a double mastectomy everyone will run out to see a Zombie movie? His movie is targeting kids, young adults and fans of that genre.
As the poster above stated, there’s no demand for Cate Blanchet, Kate Winslet, Matt Damon, Daniel Day Lewis, Meryl Streep, etc..
How can anyone compare the JP’s to Jen Garner with her daily stroll to the grocery store and Starbucks (do they not own a coffee machine?), Jessica Alba, Gwen Stefani, Naomi Watts, the Kardashians.
No one sees photos of JP’s kids for months at a time. Maddox in about a year until recently and he had major growth spurt.
We all know not every husband/partner are supportive so kudos for him.
Aren’t husbands/partners supposed to be supportive? I don’t get this whole, wow, what a great man, he’s supporting his partner. He’s supposed to, that’s what being a partner is all about.
Kudos to him for doing what every husband/wife/partner signed up to do? It doesn’t take any special talent or heroism to be supportive to your loved one.
+1. That’s what I came here to say.
“Aren’t husbands/partners supposed to be supportive?”
Well, yes, they’re *supposed* to be.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop a fair few assholes falling short of expectations.
@ Amelia – Not to trivialize this situation at all, but to some extent everyone who chooses to not drive drunk is a hero (for example). Praising people for not being complete d-bags is somewhat excessive, especially given that living well is generally its own reward. In this case, Angie’s health is Brad’s reward.
I had a friend whose husband cheated on her and left her for another woman while she was going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. so no, not all men stand by their woman so it is something to be applauded when one does. just like people commented positively on catherine zeta jones when she stood by her man when he was sick. not everybody does what they “should” do and there is nothing wrong with giving praise to those who do.
Yeah that happens too.. My moms best friend got breast cancer too and her husband left her for another woman. So horrible. Luckily she has found a new man that makes her happy =)
I don’t understand why people (or People) would expect Brad to do otherwise? Like he would run off and sleep with a hooker while Angelina had her mastectomy? I’m not trying to minimize the importance of what she went through but really, Brad sticking with her is hardly shocking or surprising, at least not IMHO.
Well, if you don’t experience it in your own life, it is surprising that it is the norm for others. I speak from experience.
It SHOULD be expected, but sadly, it’s not.
I’m sorry that it wasn’t for you, that’s truly awful. I agree with LadyMTL though, him being there, being supportive should never have been a question. If he loves her, he’s there being anything she needs. Maybe I’m just being cynical today but it’s almost like People are saying (to me anyway) “wow, he really does love her” when the years of fidelity and kids should have already proven that..
Well, there are the John Edwards of the world. I’m sure there are a lot of them.
Brad and Angie have always been really supportive of each other so this doesn’t surprise me. I’m glad they kept Jon Voight in the dark. If he found out, he would have been on the horn with every tabloid magazine and TV show out there.
Lots of people, both men and women, end things with a partner who’s had a long-term illness. Having been a carer for years, I can understand that. It takes a huge toll and even if the ill person fully recovers, there’s often not much of a ‘normal’ non-carer relationship left to salvage at that point.
But in this case Angelina hasn’t been ill other than whilst recovering from her surgeries. She’s a perfectly healthy young woman, and now more than ever she’s likely to stay that way. There’s nothing amazing about a man standing by his healthy partner. Why would he ever do otherwise? Because she has a few fresh scars? It’s such a non-story, and because of that it’s starting to feel like a calculated PR move.
I expressed the same sentiment when there was an article last week saying he was there for her when she woke up from her surgery. Of course he was there. Any partner/spouse/significant other should be there.
Really? Where? I don’t see it, nor have I read anything like that other than your very own post.
Jennifer is engaged, she probably doesn’t give a crap about Brad. The only people not moving on are people who are obsessed about this couple, and they’r usually posting on this kind of thread about how Jennifer Anniston just can’t let go, when all evidence proves otherwise.
Jennifer has moved on, all of you people should too.
Yeah, this. A man sticks with his wife through her surgery, and he’s praised to the heavens for this? Talk about low standards. He’s only doing what any halfway decent partner would do.
@Emily, who wrote: “Yeah, this. A man sticks with his wife through her surgery, and he’s praised to the heavens for this? Talk about low standards. He’s only doing what any halfway decent partner would do.”
Well, if there had been no mention of Brad being with Angie during the procedure, you and your pals would all be saying “I bet they aren’t even together any more” and “We haven’t seen them together in a while, they’re probably already over.” In fact, some were already saying that just a week before Angie’s Op Ed hit the NYTimes.
Sal, stop bringing up crap that goes on elsewhere, here. It’s incredibly tedious. Thanks.
People mag has always been about Brad Pitt and the biological Jolie-Pitt offspring. Remember the cover of the twins’ debut with only the biologically related family members on the cover? They made their preference very clear then, and I exercised my financial right not to support their editorial decision which has held to this day. I hope Angie does not sell any weddings pics to them and follows the Nic Kidman route. I thought she made a wise decision to tell her story in the NYT rather than People. I am hoping this is the beginning of a new direction PR wise, for her.
Depends on where you’re from. Men in my county are as a rule truly horrible people. My own father started cheating on my mom because, according to him, she was always busy with me and sis.
“To go through such a major thing for all her family has made Jen realise that regardless of how they hooked up, Angelina does really love Brad”
PR wise, one of the dumbest statement ever. Jen looks like queen of jerks
That was very elementary school quote, isn’t it? The everlasting “source” as if she’s not grown up woman with an operating mind and tongue and can’t say a sentence personally
oh please. like jen ever said that crap. the tabloids know to bring her name into hit is to get all kinds of comments and attention for their bs story. thats why they keep running the same shit. bc people are stupid enough to believe it.
Off Topic:
I read a blurb of an interview that Brad did recently and he said his marriage to Jenn was “pathetic.”
wow
link?
Bit of a misquote; I think he was saying his life at the time (smoking too much weed, being bored) was pathetic. Of course he had to clarify after the JenHens slammed him for insinuating it was the marriage he was referencing.
Recently?try two years ago
This was Brad talking about himself over 2 years agp in a Parade mag interview. As usual tabs lied about what he said and guess some tabs/blogs reprinted the same lies for people like you.
Brad has every right to say how HE felt just as you do.
From his current Esquire interview
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2328477/Brad-Pitt-reveals-wasting-life-away-married-Jennifer-Aniston.html
Well, Brad felt he wasn’t doing anything with his life so he changed what was going on. I think we all can say his life has much more going on now and seems fuller than it was 10 years ago.
It’s the truth. Brad didn’t mention her mane, but spoke his truth. Jeez
I hope that Angelina rethinks having her ovaries removed. Synthetic hormones aren’t good for the body. I’ll stop short of saying that they cause cancer, but she should look at all of the pros and cons. I hope she knows that just because a person has a certain gene, it doesn’t mean that the gene will ever be expressed. Current studies are showing that cancer is at least 80% what we eat and use on our bodies, and what we are around. (environmental)
Her mother,grandmother and great grandmother died of ovarian cancer.Her mom also had breast cancer.Her mom’s sister has stage 4 breast cancer.
Every one of us has cancerous cells growing in our body on a regular basis. Cancer isn’t the problem. It’s our immunities that have changed. A healthy body regularly rids itself of cancerous cells. While humans have always had to suffer ailing immune systems, it is a fact that the toxic chemicals used with great frequency today do affect our lymph systems thereby lowering the effectiveness of our immune systems. Toxins have been around for ages. Ancient Romans used to knowingly cook in lead, despite the knowledge that this affected their health.
I think Jag’s point is simply that there are other ways to avoid becoming statistics; not just Angelina Jolie’s route.
FFS… People need to give it up. The mag doesn’t know anything and it’s unbelievably tacky that they are pretending that they do.
I get that People bought the rights to the baby pics years ago, but they need to stop pretending that People is more than they are, especially since the mag has been infiltrated by lower-tiered tabloid writers.
Thank goodness no quotes from him. His sentence structure is garbled.
People Mag cant even get how many years they have been together correct.Shiloh will be 7 in a few days.Zahara was adopted 8 years ago come July.Neither Brad or Angie has spoken to People Magazine in years.Im a Loonie yet I still know,the cover should be Oklahoma.I guess the cover sold well so they are milking it.
n
Of course the magazine sold well. There were no copies left at my local Duane Reade.
Team Jolie 4-ever! I know, I’m silly.
I’m pretty sure Jen Aniston tried not to read any of the articles about Angie…
Do they have a movie coming out, because all of a sudden there are daily articles about them. I have zero interest in either of them.
You took the trouble to come on here to post that? 🙄
It’s the press milking this story to death and back. It’s not Brad or Angelina.
No, it’s not them, it’s all the press. Brad certainly didn’t issue a statement to the press, and then his mom certainly didn’t make a statement to the press, and then Jolie’s brother certainly didn’t make a statement to the press, and then her dad certainly didn’t make a statement to the press. Oh wait, yes they did. All of them, and pretty much one at a time so that each could get its own headline. It’s no skin off my nose one way or the other, but let’s not pretend they’ve just been hiding out trying to protect their privacy.
Actors always suck when they are playing themselve – hence why awards shows seem so awkward.
Don’t hate for me saying this but why does this deserve People’s cover? They have been together for like 8 years – he had better be by her side….like ANY partner that loves the other.
I agree with you and I love these two. Plus, I object to the overuse of the double issue, especially when the story is largely based on unnamed sources. I could understand if these two actually sat down with People and talked about this, but they didn’t.
I didn’t buy last week’s issue mainly because People tend to get ahead of themselves and use unnamed sources instead of allowing their subjects to have a necessary breather and maybe, possibly coming to them. But with this issue, I don’t see the JPs doing this with People Magazine.
I agree.
Honestly, where else would he be, playing golf? It’s kind of silly. Any husband would do the same thing. I’ve never been a huge fan of either of them but I am warming to her since this happened because I’ve been through the same surgery and I know what she is going through and it’s not easy. I was a single mom when I had the surgery so I’m sure it’s nice to have someone who loves you by your side.
Unfortunately, Annie, a lot of husbands would not. I’ve heard too many stories of women whose husbands dumped them after they had a mastectomy because they were no longer “complete women”. Granted, they are better off without the SOBs. But imagine how they felt being left for such a reason.
yeah like my friend’s husband. she was married to him for 15 years when he cheated on her and left her while she was going through chemo for breast cancer. yes men SHOULD stand by their woman. so i don’t have a problem admiring men who do
As a long time Angelina fan who has had to defend her many times to a relative, I am so very thrilled to have her and Brad validated! Despite all the snarky comments in mags, on here and in casual conversation, it was always obvious that there was love and a deep bond between Brad and Angie. I think they are 2 people who instantly clicked, with the same values and commitment to children and causes. It is quite obvious that neither had happy emotional lives before and were looking for meaning and depth in their personal lives. I applaud their ability to keep the true content of their lives hidden, and to ignore all the malicious speculation! I also sincerely doubt that Jennifer is still ‘mourning’ the perceived ‘ perfect marriage’ she had with Brad! It is so tiring to still hear the spin put on that, after 7 long years!
Anyway! Though I agree that it is exactly what I would have expected Brad to do in the face of Angelina’s decision and ordeal, and no great biggie for a man who loves his partner deeply, it is still very heartwarming to witness!
+100
Except for your doubt that JA is still mourning her “Golden Couple” marriage. I just don’t get the friend still mentioning Angie and going on National TV about her dream that JA got back together with Brad. This all happening after she and JT hooked-up. It makes you wonder.
Wasn’t that Chelsea Handler?
I wonder what kind of stories Courtney Cox could tell….didn’t David Arquette say that one of the reasons they divorced was because Jennifer was always the third wheel in their relationship.
All the pre-recorded Ellen ‘bits’ like this are so stilted. But as always I love Matthew Perry.
That last picture is creeping me out. Someone’s softened the image so much Brad & Angie look almost like wax models.
I would expect Angelina won’t wait long to have her next surgeries. She’s 37, and her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at just 48. If I were her, given the opportunity, I wouldn’t want to be going into my 40’s without having had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy.
“They are very loving and inspiring to each other, exchanging ideas,” says Jeremy Kleiner, a longtime exec at Pitt’s Plan B production company and producer on his upcoming movie World War Z.
—
I’m pretty sure this is Pitt approved. Perfect timing for World war z. He also has his makeup lady & furniture designer blabbing about Jolie in Esquire.
I know it’s a cynical thing to say amongst all this general praise for angelina (which I don’t object to, of course), but the world war z-producers must be thrilled about all this great and completely free publicity for brad.
Yes funny enough Brad Pitt is a wwz producer.
Oh yeah because middle aged women are going to see a Zombie movie because Jolie had her breast removed.@LOL if you believe its a PR move than you believe AJ is behind since she went public to NYT.So she is worse than he is using her surgery to sell movie tickets.Right ,@LOL
Yes, kim I believe angelina really wants to help women but she also feels obligated to help Brad sell his movie. Sad really.
These two don’t take a piss without a plan!
@Sal: Yes… and? They all know how to play the Hollywood game, and they all do it.
I love Angelina….but why do I get the strange feeling that Brad is exploiting this to benefit the upcoming release of WWZ? I don’t know, but the timing to release the details of her personal struggle is a little suspect. He’s a little swarmy if you ask me and I think he’s got a lot riding on the success of this film. JMO.
Funny, I just suggested the same thing above and wondered if I’m the only one who thinks that. It’s all a bit much, no? And I’m saying that as a big Angelina fan. I love how she handled the situation. Him- I don’t know. Seems like he’s fishing for fiancee of the century award, when really- as a lot of posters above have pointed out- OF COURSE he was by her side. What sort of guy wouldn’t be??
I agree, Poppy. I’m a huge Angelina fan, always have been….but, Brad, not so much. She always handles things with such grace and humility. Brad could take a few lessons from her. I also wonder why the need to vocalize how he has been so supportive and stood beside her…that should go without saying.
Kim…if you think Brad wasn’t instrumental in the timing of this announcement, you need to take off the rose colored glasses. Brad is swarmy. Period.
She realeased the details so I guess she is swarmy too
Do you mean ‘smarmy’? Swarmy is kind of cute though. lol
Lulu….you had me second guessing myself for a second, as I have a tendency to get creative with the vocabulary at times,(not intentionally, just every so often when a senior moment kicks in) but I did mean swarmy. 🙂 Although, smarmy works, too!
Hello, Just passing through. It’s nice to see an actual Jolie fan here, lol most of these people are Brad/brangelina fans so they will make every excuse for him.
Hi LOL….I’ve always felt that Angelina could have done much better and it’s been especially hard to see the transformation in her over the last few years, and before I get crucified, I know she has children, now, and I know they take a toll. I’m talking about how Brad seems to have sucked the life out of her. I don’t like him, never have, never will. I think he controls her and has broken her spirit. He comes across as smug and arrogant. That’s all! 🙂
I’m sorry but all this “reporting” on him and his reaction and how he dealt with it…it seems too contrived at this point. I think what she did is amazing and I totally commend her for it. But all the shit that has been coming out regarding him just makes me think less of him and that it’s more about his ego/reputation than raising awareness.
I’m thinking ‘enough already’ too. What it’s starting to do is dilute the impact of what she did and the low-key, graceful, matter of fact manner in which she did it.
Pitt is just not interesting enough to warrant this amount of coat-tail attention.
+1
I just happen to agree with Kaiser that this cover and the previous one were both approved by their team.
Your comments attacking people for being “ignorant” just because they don’t agree with you is disturbing.
@Sal, dear oh dear, take a deep breath and calm down. You are sounding a little too involved here. If you want to see everything Jolie-Pitt related as pure and PR-free, by all means, do, but please allow those of us who are a little less gullible express our opinions without being bombarded with charges of ignorance and stupidity.
Let’s just say none of us would be reading this article if we didn’t give a sh*t.
I didnt read it
It’s interesting that people are giving suggestions to Sal, when they themselves could use some oxygen themselves. It’s almost like they’ve been locked in a trunk for a week or something…
Amen! But why are you surprised? Angie bears all the pain and criticism while Brad reaps all the reflected glory and kudos. It’s how this relationship has been from the beginning.
Direct your negativity to the tabs, not to Brad. He has not given People or any other media except Esquire so far an interview with WWZ out next month. Giving interviews for films is SOP for all actors. Brad made his statements praising Angie on the day her Op Ed appeared and has been silent since then.
What’s wrong with people is that we aren’t all taking these comments as personally as you are. It’s a lighthearted gossip site. Both sides of the coin welcome and encouraged. Please calm down. They are just people. They all poop just like we do. And they all do stupid things like we do.
I don’t think anyone is out to insult your Jolie-Pitts; we’re expressing opinions. It used to be a free country, although some of us are still a little hazy on that notion.
🙂
“sal”, you need to take a chill pill. You can disagree with people’s opinions but calling people idiots for having a differing view than you is abusive.
Says a lot about how you must feel inside.
It’s interesting how none of these ‘suspicious’ people are acknowledging the Michael Douglas sidebar which focuses more on CZJ’s health issues versus his movie. Maybe Pitt and Douglas had the same idea or maybe, the editorial board (?) decided that the spouse in distress angle was more appealing to the MiniVans who buy the magazine.
I am glad she had her privacy. Her time to heal with whomever she choose by her side. Just knowing that the paps were not going to be there must have been such a relief. I am glad the hospital staff kept zipped too.
The interesting thing for me is I no longer have to question who is calling and informing paps were they are …………LOL
Brad does have a movie coming out. Every interviewer is going to ask those Angie health questions. They want $$. (interviewers, publications, etc). I mean this in a neutral way.
To be fair, only a relatively small handful of celebrities have the money and connections that Angie and Brad have. People like them, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise etc. can disappear whenever they want because they can afford to live in massive locked down compounds and have everything they could possibly need brought to them, they can travel whilst avoiding public airports, they can buy/rent private islands or borrow one off a billionaire friend, they can arrange for people (like doctors) to come to them when usually no such allowances would be made…
Your more run of the mill celebrity doesn’t have too many options if the tabloids decide they’re a money spinner. Of course they can stop going to the obvious places where the paps hang out, but if the paps set up camp outside their house they can either lean into it a little or become a recluse. A lot of tabloid favourites aren’t hugely wealthy, they can’t be messing about with things like decoy cars everyday.
No offense, but I can’t see interviewers asking probing questions. Some may try, but they would have to be damn good in order to not come across as some sort of vulture or voyeur.
I still say this wasn’t as “secret” as they’d like you to be…I think that maybe Brad’s mom tipped off Jennifer…why else would the wedding be delayed – the last thing Jennifer wanted or needed was to have her wedding being beat out over Angelina’s breast surgery….
You really think she cares that much?
Why else would the wedding be delayed? Just about any other reason than the one your citing makes sense to me.
There’s lots of reasons a wedding can be delayed. Lots.
@Linda: I am absolutely certain Jane Pitt hasn’t tipped off Aniston about anything in the past five years.
@Bluhare: Lots of reasons, including the groom getting cold feet.
Brad’s brother Doug says the family has not been in touch with or seen JA in years.
Did you not know that widely reported in the media statement or are you ignoring facts in favor of fantasy?
With the pic of Aniston and Jolie next to each other.One cannot deny who is beautiful.Angelina has way more beautiful eyes, lips,nose, skin cheekbone.They are tie in the hair.I want to see both their hair without extension.Angie wins all the way.
I think each is attractive in their own way. No need for contests IMO.
Thank you.
It’s funny how beauty is completely in the eye of the beholder. When I look at these two pictures, I think that Jennifer is far more beautiful.
I think Aniston would be a lot more attractive if she would go back to her natural dark brown hair color. That blonde dye makes her look bland and boring.
LOL yeah right – Aniston cried because she was so “moved” by Angie’s bravery? More like she cried because the JP’s are are plastered on every cover and getting a ton of glowing press – nobody is thinking about Aniston’s supposed wedding or the ever-nauseating womb-watch. It’s pretty obvious her team planted the story of her being so happy for the JP’s – because she’s just SO over Brad you know. 😀
Its interesting how all of a sudden people are saying of course BP would do the right thing and stand by AJ,when not that long ago on this site and others people wanted us to beleive that BP wanted to go back to his previous life,how AJ was some kind of voodoo queen that bewitched him from the oh so worthy(sarcasm)JA.
BP is where he wants to be,he said that many times and he was torn apart in the tabloids for saying so.I’m glad that he is referencing his life from 10years ago and saying that he has never been happier.I’m glad that friends and collegues are speaking up and he is letting them.This has been a one sided story for too long.
Who ever the sick person is on JA team that decided to target AJ and her children they have failed big time.
The worse thing for me was when Chelsea Handler went on Howard Stern and said that BP could not leave AJ,because she would take his children way.I felt sick to my stomach that this is the level of venom that was being orchestrated on behalf of JA. With friends like hers who needs enemies,lets hope they don’t turn on her one day.
People have so wanted BP&AJ to fail that they have not cared about the lies and slander carried out against them.So People magazine writes a fluff piece saying BP was there for AJ,good,I’m sure the usual suspects will be out before long with their usual lies and slander,and some people on here and other sites will be happy again.
Totally agree with everything that you said.
I don’t see how Handler’s comment (that BP can’t leave AJ or else he would lose his children) is venomous. I don’t have any reason to believe he wants to leave her, but it’s reasonable to think that fear would certainly factor into his decision. Many men stay in marriages for that reason, divorcing only after the kids are grown. Custody battles are gruesome, and it’s never the same for the non-custodial parent – even if they alternate with joint custody.
Data already exists and is in ample supply to prove Cheslea Handler wrong about her faulty opinions. There was NEVER a triangle, only a love story about two people who fell in love and made a big happy, loving family.
It IS slanderous when ALL of Brad’s interviews and quotes are consistent about the way he feels about Angelina–
Brad loves her, she is his hero, he loves their life, he loves the family that THEY built TOGETHER. There is a tremendous amount of love between them. The greater the love, the higher the risk. Got it?
Jenhens don’t want to admit that Brad loves Angie– that reality is too painful. They would rather believe, he is there for the kids, Angie is a sex-crazed freak, he was “stolen”, he was vexed, he is unhappy with her—ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Once again, as on many occasions before, Brad has declared his undying love for Angie, and that has been smacking them dead in the eye.
Brad’s PDA and loving comments about Angie irritates the crap out of them.
Don’t believe me? OK….
Just read the comments below….witness the Jenhens grabbing at straws, trying to “quiet” Sal from speaking the obvious truth…
Tsk, tsk. SMH.
Such a great couple! I can’t help but just love them more and more!
Brange’s PR machine is better, more sincere than Aniston’s.
Brange are still together and happy. Aniston is still hoping for a stable, very long term relationship.
Friends reunion? Because none of them have had good careers since? Zzzzz….
The cover of People..Angelina is simply gorgeous. Very stunning.
Everyone defending these two…please give me a break. Bottomline hes a jerk who cheated on his wife and maybe hasnt actually verbalized it but instead went down the subtle road and did a magazine spread. And as far as Big Ang goes she travels from one addiction to another. First drugs, then women, then billy bob, then kids and now doing good deeds. Truth is she was pregnant with his kid so spare me the Mother Theresa act. Yah people fall in and out of love, marriages end but do it the right way. He takes on the identity of whover he dates. With Jen he got highlights with Ang he got schooled about France and cancer. Shes no Jackie O. I still dont get why these three are so worshiped.
You are just so jealous of Angie.Angelina’s fans love her unconditionally.She has been so honest about her past that’s why we love her for it.but she has turned her life around and that is really admirable.You are entitled to your opinion but leave us fans alone to defend her and support her.Brad and Angie are in love just be happy for them.
I am in no way, shape or form jealous. Its my opinion about two people who were totally shady and are now worshiped for their good hearts and morals. Sandra Bullock, that is a good example of a woman to respect. She does her good deeds and doesnt need to be on every cover to tell us how great she is. These two love the attention. Its easy to say you dont want attention when youre getting all of it. Please save it….again the magazine spread. Yah thats not attention seeking. Very private. Yup uh huh. Lets just agree to disagree.
“And as far as Big Ang goes she travels from one addiction to another. First drugs, then women, then billy bob, then kids and now doing good deeds”
—-> Well, I wish more people get addicted to doing good deeds then. If someone could change their “bad addiction” to a good one, I say good and more power for that person.
The world could at least be a better place.
Pnichols,
Absolutely fantastic summary and shorthand of most notable cliches about these two. You had 50 words, and you comprised years of crap coverage. You have talent.
Love BP and AJ!
Isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think? that he has been so protective and secretive where Angelina is concerned, but has not felt the need to keep his mouth shut where Jennifer and their marriage is concerned? I really love and admire Angelina and it’s not her fault Brand left Jennifer; a guy/woman will stray on their own, you cannot steal someone that doesn’t want to be stolen, but Brad enough already! Talk about yourself and your evolution without mentioning Jennifer! So, you guys grew apart, so you found yourself, so you are a more enlightened human being now, so you are a better person as a result of introspection; you’re older, wiser, whatever. Some people come into your life for a reason, a season, or forever, so you found your forever in Angelina! Great for you, but don’t minimize your journey, it made you who you are today! That’s true for all of us!
Again, he didn’t mention Aniston. He did mention Jolie, his kids, a campout, his parents, his siblings, his overalls, Bruce Paltrow and other things. The overalls was more noteworthy than Aniston, because, again, the subject of her didn’t come out of his mouth.
He’s only talked about her TWICE in eight years….once was a slight reference to their marriage, where he was at the time, and the other was to clarify that he meant that she wasn’t boring, he was, he was wasting his life. So technically only once. Jennifer Aniston and her friends have talked about Brad and Angelina and the kids all the time…so I don’t understand what you’re so angry about. Angelina’s only spoken about her, when asked twice, and that was years ago.
Terrible sketch, although I really like Matthew and Courtney -despite her horrible plastic surgery- this was awful.. and Jen, well, she was never ‘that much’ acting-wise so I’m not surprised. And I don’t believe that story at all, LOL, when she heard about Angelina I think she just kind of bitched about her like she always do, see Chelsea.
so let get this straight! instead of putting the victims of the tornado in ok they put two of the worst actors on cover only s#$Ty people mag!
