Hello! on Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie – they’re fine & people make up stories

Brad Pitt in Hello! “I am in love… what else can a guy want?”
This week’s Hello! Magazine features the quotes from Brad Pitt at the after party for Inglourious Basterds that ran in The Mirror and which Kaiser reported yesterday: “I am in love and I have the most beautiful family – what else can a guy want? I am the happiest man ever.” It’s not clear whether Pitt said this directly to Hello!, to a bunch of reporters, or whether he was just overheard. Hello! bills the article on their cover as including new quotes from Pitt, but this is all they seem to have that doesn’t come from other sources. (The part that The Mirror also included where Pitt said “My daughter from Africa is beautiful” is not in Hello!)

Hello! also includes a lot of “insider” quotes about how the two are doing fine and are just subject to many false rumors. It’s possible all this filler text is complete speculation on Hello’s part and that they don’t have a source, but I like their take on it no matter who it’s coming from. Brangelina sells more tabloids than any other couple so it makes sense that there are so many fake stories about them.

Brad and Angelina are fine. Brad does not talk to Aniston

“First of all, none of the stories are true,” one of their closest, most trusted friends told me. “Without exaggeration, there’s just not one word of truth to any of them. The rumours involving Brad and Jennifer are good examples of how completely ludicrous it has all become…

“If you actually knew them you’d know how dumb that is,” says the source. “Brad hasn’t talked to Jennifer in years. I mean, truly they have no communication whatsoever, and not because they are angry but because they have just moved on the way divorced people move on.

“But probably the dumbest story of all? That Angie caught Brad with the couple’s nanny and flew into a rage about it. I mean, really! Like Brad would do such a thing. He might not want me to say so, but that was one lie that really p****d him off. It made him sound so empty headed and fool hardly, and that is so not who he is. But this is what happens when they’re not always out there in the public eye. People make up stories about them just to keep them in the news.”

Brad loves being a “house husband”

“Oh, yes, he’s been thriving for the last couple of months,” another friend of his confirmed. “Just getting up in the morning at the crack of dawn, making a big breakfast – which he’s sort of famous for in the family… kissing Angie goodbye as she goes off to work and then being the house husband, taking care of the kids, getting the older ones off to school, busying the younger ones with activities all day, watching cartoons with them… picking up the kids from school, getting them dinner, doing their homework with them, and then welcoming Angie home.

“It’s been a few months of heaven for Brad. He’s had some help, especially with the cooking. Angie’s brother James has also been staying with them off and on. But it’s pretty much all Brad. He’s amazing as a stay-at-home dad.”

People think that they plot to present a happy face to the world, but that isn’t true

While the couple’s show of unity at Cannes may help dispel the nasty rumours, cynics are not yet satisfied. After all, the world’s press was at Cannes. What better place for a pair of actors to fake a happy relationship? But, clearly, anyone who believes such a thing doesn’t really know Brad and Angelina. Or, as one of Brad’s relatives put it to me: “There are people who actually think Brad and Angie sit down over breakfast and say, ‘Okay, here’s the plan: let’s be seen holding hands and kissing in Cannes. Then, people will think we’re happy when, secretly, we’re actually fighting. Yeah, that should do it. That should pull the wool over their eyes!’

“Let me be clear: if they were not happy they would not be together.”

[From Hello! Magazine, print edition, June 2, 2009]

Angelina, Brad and their children are said to be spending the summer at their rented estate in the French countryside, Chateau Miraval. Angelina is supposedly going to try to learn to cook this summer, although that was supposed to happen last summer and not much came of it. They were also said to be looking for a movie to star in together, but “they realized they if both were making a film at the same time, who’d take care of the kids?” One thing is clear, these two are together and they have six children. Anyone in that situation would understandably have some stress no matter how much help and money they have. Brad and Angelina seem to be in it for the long haul, and if they ever break up or even travel separately we can be sure to hear all about it.

Here are photos of Brad and Angelina at the premiere of Inglourious Basterds in Cannes on 5/20/09. Credit: WENN.com

    Finally a story about these two they about them not separated or his returning to the X. Despite this history is true or not we will never know because with tabloids we never can trust but at least for the 1 time in 5 years ONE of these mags decided change their covered history about them

  2. Megan says:

    As usual, tabloids and magazines making stories out of nothing. It’s really no surprise that there’s nothing wrong with their relationship. I love the ‘Brad and Jennifer haven’t talked in years’ quote. I really believe that’s true, and it’s so funny to think of all the made up conversations they’ve apparently been having.

  3. pat says:

    THANK YOU “HELLO !”

  4. lilyBme says:

    soulmates….for life. finally a true story on this talented couple.

  5. BlahBlah says:

    They have like a super romance! 🙂

  6. PJ says:

    I think it’s more difficult to tell the difference between truth and fiction these days, mostly because the line between the traditional media and tabloid media is blurring.

    The tabloids have always been famous for making up stories and exaggerating things that really happened. It’s OK to read them for entertainment, as long as it’s understood that these stories aren’t necessarily true.

    The traditional media has become more tabloid-like than in the past, and now routinely reports rumors and stories from unnamed sources.

    There’s no way for us as readers to tell what is true and what isn’t. We look for clues in things like red-carpet behavior, etc., but we don’t really know. One website even analyzes body language to try to analyze a couple’s relationship.

    I say, since we don’t really know what’s going on, it’s always fun to speculate and discuss the possibilities of the situation. It’s entertaining, that’s what it’s all about. The entertainers are entertaining us even when they’re not on the screen.

  7. Amy says:

    This article is just as madeup as the tabloids. I don’t believe the tabloids either and think Brad and Angelina are fine. But there are inconsistancies and false information. I don’t recall Angelina saying she wanted to learn to cook. She seemed content not learning how to. I don’t think either of them said they were trying to find a movie to do together. I think what they have said is they would do it if they just happen to find a script they both like but they aren’t doing an active search. Also they are not spending the summer in France. Brad starts filming Moneyball in June. I don’t know how big his part is but the family will be in California. Brad also said he’s talked to Jennifer occasionally and Jennifer confirmed they barely talk.

  8. boo says:

    Sounds like Brangie got their publicist to talk to Hello. There is no way they only have a cook. you know they have at least a few babysitterss, nannies whatever.

    I don’t get why Brange cares what people think.

  9. Bubulle says:

    Well I’m sorry but there is something wrong with that quote : “Brad hasn’t talked to Jennifer in years. I mean, truly they have no communication whatsoever, and not because they are angry but because they have just moved on the way divorced people move on.”.

    Here is what Aniston said in the January issue of GQ : “We don’t not talk. When there’s something to congratulate or celebrate, there’s always an exchange”

    So who’s lying here the so called friend or Aniston ?

  10. Les says:

    I would like to say thanks to Hello mag for having the guts to print the truth for a change.
    If they try printing the truth they will fine truth sells.
    I really believe the bitter x and her people put most of the lies out to get attention. If I were her I wouldn’t want that kind of attention.

  11. Get it right says:

    Boo- for your information, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie do not have a publicist to use to their disposal like Jennifer Aniston. So, sadly, you are mistaken.

    If you’re going to write this story off as BS, blame Hello! Magazine alone

  12. Pufft says:

    Posted twice! Moving on.

  13. Bite me says:

    I don’t think brad and Jen talk

  14. ferdis says:

    Well, this Hello story is a perfect way to the Brange Brand denies all the tabloid stories. They really care about it. The need to protect their brand. But they cant deny openly.
    And about the publicist…they dont have one, but they have a great lawyer. THEY DONT SPEAK A WORD without talking with him. We know that from the W magazine interview with Angelina after the twins. All famewh*res.

    And for me, James Heaven is the closed friend. hahahaha

  15. diddy says:

    hmmm brad himself confirmed when doing an interview for ‘button’last year that him and aniston still keep in contact; according to him in his own words “she was a huge part my life as i was in her’…. and aniston also said they are civil

    if angie is allowed to still be in contact or friends with her exes like billy bob and her first husband like she said , so why cant brad as well

    i think the only thing some media are doing is exaggerating the level of contact and the motive for it.

  16. diddy says:

    here is the brad quote from w magazine dec last year

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

    http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2009/02/brad_pitt

    So its either brad pitt and jennifer aniston are both lying , or this hello article total fabrication from a madeup source like most stories seem to be nowadays on every celebrity; the british media are usually know for this

  17. Andy says:

    MERCI HELLO !

  18. hope says:

    I think Brad and Jen just put that we talk crap out there. All indications point to the fact that they don’t talk. People who are friends won’t have any problems saying hi to each other at the Oscar’s and you won’t need to have a moral support to be in the same room with the ex they are supposedly friends with. It looks good on paper but in reality it sucks. Just like why would anybody think that Aniston or Brad would ever want to get back together with each other, like seriously.

  19. HashBrowns says:

    I was about to say that the quote where they don’t talk is total nonsense. Both Brad and Jennifer have said that they still talk from time to time.

    This just seems like damage control on the part of Brangelina. They may not have publicists but they do have managers/agents and managers/agents can release stuff as well. Unless of course, their assistant is releasing this stuff.

    I think you can’t believe what anyone says about anyone in the tabloids. It’s a funny little game and everything, but it gets sad when people (fans) start taking it seriously and throwing around accusations and only believing the negative side of the coverage with their enemy side of the Brangelina/Jennifer Aniston grudge match.

  20. Pufft says:

    CB TOTALLY REFUSES TO PUBLISH MY COMMENT. LET ME TRY AGAIN:

    “But probably the dumbest story of all? That Angie caught Brad with the couple’s nanny and flew into a rage about it. I mean, really! Like Brad would do such a thing. He might not want me to say so, but that was one lie that really p****d him off”
    ……………………..

    Oops, there goes Brad Pitt’s interview with Bild about not giving a rat’s a$$ what tabloids write out the window. I believe he was quoted saying “We don’t follow that! We don’t read that! It has nothing to do with truth.”

    Which brings me to the question, who is lying, Hello, Bild, Brad or the ‘closest and most trusted friend’?

  21. kap says:

    Who the heck knows if BP and JA communicate. Probably a congratulations card every birth or adoption, or an angry call to have her PR stop leaking stories to Star magazine. What I think they mean is he’s not calling her up drunk crying about what a mistake he made leaving her. Aniston deserves to be seen as her own person, not the EX wife (even though IMO she has played it up to promote her movies). It’s been too long since the divorce, even though many people will never get over it, for her to continue the “wronged” wife tour with any credibility. She’s a big girl with lots of money and a devoted fan base. IMO she’s a very lucky woman who doesn’t need our pity. As for BP/AJ, they seem in love and for the sake of their family I hope they stick together.

  22. lisa says:

    I believe that Brad and Jen do talk but not in the way two people really “talk” to each other. I think they say their pleasantries and leave it at that. I think that is classy on both of their parts.
    I am glad to see a decent article about Brad and Angelina. For once it is not about a break-up!

  23. nag says:

    They both have had all the body language lessons and are actors… they can make the press think they are together and pay their sources management etc to follow up with a consistant story to support whatever they want to let everyone know.

  24. sonia says:

    I believe the statement if they were not happy they would not be together.If Brad wanted to leave, Angie would say ‘see ya’.They are parents so they would still be connected forever.They would remain friends imo.

  25. lisa says:

    Funny any postive story has to be a stunt or made up.. But the negative stuff is always believed. I guess it is more fun thinking that these people are unhappy. Maybe they are just like us. They have good moments and bad.. But then the truth is harder to sell then the lie.

  26. Chicamorena says:

    Nice of Hello to set the record straight, but was there anyone out there with half a brain who didn’t know that the tabloids were fabricating lies about this couple breaking up to sell their magazines? Check out the tabloids’ bottom line. Their circulation is practically in the toilet. The only thing that has been keeping them afloat is the Infernal Triangle, and people are finally getting sick and tired of all the lies and bullshit.

  27. sonia says:

    If they have body language experts and are just acting then they should have positive stories written about them not negative. So which is it are ther bad actors or are they good actors faking it and pretending to be happy. Before Cannes someone wrote if AJ is a no show then they have broken up but if she shows then its fake,a publicity stunt. Its a lose lose situation. If a pic shows them not smiling then they are fighting. If a pic shows them smiling then they are acting for the cameras.

  28. HUH? says:

    “Funny any postive story has to be a stunt or made up.. But the negative stuff is always believed.”

    yup, and switch that around, and you have the belief structure of the brangeloonies.

  29. Mave says:

    First of all they both say they don’t read the tabloids…lieing…their close so called friend made a reference to a tabloid that Brad was upset about…how can he be upset if he doesn’t know about it. As soon as people are catching on to them not being perfect they go into super mode…pictures with the kids and Brad and Angelina holding hands, smiling…they usually adopt..Boring. We are not stupid people. I am a social worker and Angelina seems metally ill and it is probably hard for Brad to understand her because she tries to hide her struggles. I hope she gets help.

  30. Canuck says:

    So funny! If they were so lovey dovey, how come they had to photoshop Brad’s head closer to Angie’s? You can clearly see the fake shadow next to his nose and upper lip in the cover photo.

    C’mon Hello!, if you are going to put a touched up photo on the cover, at least make it a good one!

  31. michellle says:

    Nice to see a positive spin for once.
    Good or bad, it’s all rubbish.

    What’s disturbing are the comments like; finally the truth, thanks for setting the record straight, etc.
    Are those of you who are so sure this story’s the truth simply mentally challenged or irretrievably stupid?

  32. Andy says:

    canuck30 – You are so stupid !

  33. Canuck says:

    Andy, I would say you need to have your eyes checked or your glasses changed if you can’t see that photo is photoshopped.

    Also, it’s even more obvious on the actual magazine, which I have in front of me.

  34. HUH? says:

    yeah, canuck, how dare you notice the bad photoshop job!

  35. Canuck says:

    You’re right HUH, better take a couple of dozen points off my IQ, bad me!

  36. morgs says:

    God Canuck! Way not to be a true believer! Didn’t you know Hello! is a trusted media outlet? Jellus h8ter!

  37. Amy says:

    I agree with those who say the haters always believe the negative stories and never believe that they are happy. Also most fans don’t believe every single positive story that comes out. Ironically the haters believe it everytime there are rumors of pregnancy, adoption, weddings, etc. They fill threads with hate-filled comments. Some fans believe them but usually they blow it off as another false rumor.

  38. Canuck says:

    morgs… LOL you’re funny

  39. Contradictions everywhere says:

    “This just seems like damage control on the part of Brangelina”

    Hashbrowns, you’re forever contradicting yourself. I remember you saying on one post that you’re neither a fan of AJ nor JA, but merely defend JA like she were your sister because people are always accusing her of mundane things. Very cheap, coming from a person that NEVER has anything positive to say about AJ, yet expects a preferential treatment for JA.

    “I think you can’t believe what anyone says about anyone in the tabloids. It’s a funny little game and everything, but it gets sad when people (fans) start taking it seriously and throwing around accusations and only believing the negative side of the coverage with their enemy side of the Brangelina/Jennifer Aniston grudge match.”

    More contradictions. If we shouldn’t be bothered by what tabloids report on, then why immediately jump to the conclusion that the Brangelina gave this story for damage control? Wouldn’t it be fair to assume, by your standards, that this story is hagwash?
    Here’s what’s really sad about you, you are always quick to lecture what a beautiful world this would be if no one spoke ill of JA, but spit venom on every AJ/BP blog. You can dish it out, but can’t take it. How very sad.

  40. czarina says:

    Okay, I’m going on a limb here and taking the option that the Hello! arcticle is JUST AS made up as the tabloid articles!
    I don’t think the pic is photoshopped–I’ve seen several pics from Cannes where they were standing that close together–it could be they touched it up (took out shadows, etc.)
    But all those quotes from the insider friend? That sounded just as fake as the ‘insider friends’ from In Touch who are quoted about their misery and screaming matches.
    My take would be that if they are not directly quoted, or it isn’t said by an acredited source (lawyer, whoever) then I don’t believe it.
    Why shouldn’t Hello! take advantage of the tabloid frenzy by running an article on how wonderful B&A are? New fish, same hook.
    Personally, I assume the two of them are fine. Why do they have to be either miserable or ecstatically happy? Can’t they just have a normal family? (Mostly happy, sometimes angry, often stressful).
    Of course, that doesn’t sell many magazines…

  41. Cheyenne says:

    czarina: “Why do they have to be either miserable or ecstatically happy? Can’t they just have a normal family? (Mostly happy, sometimes angry, often stressful). Of course, that doesn’t sell many magazines… ”
    *********************************************

    Exactly.

    Also, there are some diehard Aniston fans who feel that Brad and Angelina don’t deserve to be happy with each other. They ought to be miserable or there is no justice in the universe. So they will grasp at whatever straws they can reach (“body language” experts, reading tea leaves, tarot, crystal ball, etc.) to prove their contention that the J-Ps are on the verge of an imminent split.

    Never mind that they have been “imminently” splitting for going on five years now. Some of these haters will still be praying for them to break up when their last child graduates from college.

  42. Canuck says:

    Czarina, this photo is photoshopped. They may have been that close together, but not in this photo. They have superimposed his head over hers, and then added shadows/outlines next to his nose and upper lip (where it overlaps her face). In addition, you can see that the light is not hitting their faces from the same direction either.

  43. Codzilla says:

    You’re right about the photo, Canuck. And whoever did it was either a Photoshop rookie or just plain lazy.

  44. Canuck says:

    Codzilla, they would have to be for me to notice it, LOL

  45. cassie says:

    Mave, you are a social worker yet you can’t spell lying . I’ll give you a pass on mentally ill because that may have been a typo. You don’t have to read a tabloid to know what has been said about you especially if its on the cover.Maybe someone told him about the story or maybe he saw the cover at the bookstore or grocery store.

    “Funny any postive story has to be a stunt or made up.. But the negative stuff is always believed.”

    yup, and switch that around, and you have the belief structure of the brangeloonies.

    You’re right, everyone turns into idiots when it comes to these two. Too bad people can’t agree to disagree, or at least acknowledge their bias: “I hate them so this is photoshopped and bullshit and they’re crazy and the split is imminent and he’s running back to Jennypoo” OR “I love them and they are Gods and will be together forever and all the bad stories are wrong and every positive spin is the truth and all hail Brangelina!”

    Both camps are idiots. Thank goodness there are usually one or two people in here who DON’T take it so seriously and seem to be able to take it for what it is: entertainment. Actually, I’ve noticed the usual stable of commenters seem to just stay out of the AJ/BP/JA comments all together these days. I usually do but every once in a while I become a hypocrite and peek in, because I can’t resist the urge to see just how crazy it’s getting LOL 🙂

    BTW HUH? it’s VERY clear which “side” you’re on so I’m not exactly AGREEING with you, if you see what I’m saying…? 😛

  47. Jolie Fan 4 ever says:

    If the picture was photoshopped what was the point. I have seen dozens of great shots of the couple at Cannes. It was not necessary to make up a picture of them showing affection towards each other. There were lots to choose from. I have seen online post from people WHO WERE THERE.. and their account is the couple looked great and they saw lots of love. So I was not their neither were most of you. So who cares about the cover picture. I have seen the video. It would be nice if people found a new obsession..Leave Brad/Angie alone. I’m sure there has to be another celeb couple as fasinating as they are. If story has made up elements I am still glad to see a postive story among all the lies.

  48. Canuck says:

    >>I’m sure there has to be another celeb couple as fasinating as they are.<<

    You’d have to change your nickname then, wouldn’t you Jolie Fan 4 Ever? lol

    Surely they could have used a still from the video of them on the red carpet looking lovey dovey then, although I don’t recall actually seeing them do anything other than pose.

    Must have missed the “hand on the bum” moment this year, anyone else catch that in the video?

  49. Cheyenne says:

    Canuck: if you missed his hand on her butt, you didn’t look very hard. It was glued to its usual spot on her posterior.

  50. Neil says:

    I think Hello like People is Brange-positive but I think they may be playing the same game as the negative tabloids.
    A frustration some fans have with Brad and Angie is their refusal to give anything but ABSOLUTE ZERO ENERGY to manufactured stories about them.
    I think Hello may be acting out here like an aggrieved fan. In the end it doesn’t matter because The Brange are comfortable and secure and the only people they have to give an accounting to are their family and business concerns. Haters will hate, fans will fight and defend and the tabloids will keep making up stories for as long as people will buy them. So what else is new?

  51. HashBrowns says:

    LOL@Contradictions everywhere:

    Looks like I’ve got my own stalker. Hi there.

    You seem to be someone else as well because I recall that “defend her like your sister” line from some other poster.

    Sorry, but I don’t defend her like she’s my sister. Because she’s not. She never will be. She’s not my friend and she’s not someone I will ever personally know…so it’s impossible for me to defend her as though she were. Unless I were mentally ill…in which case I wouldn’t have passed my tests to teach small children.

    And again, I am not a fan of either of them. Fans go and see movies, watch television shows or listen to radio programs featuring their favorite stars because their favorite stars are in them or on them. I have never gone to see a film because Jennifer Aniston was in it. Never watched Friends because she was on it (my favorites were Monica and Chandler) and I don’t purposefully seek out her interviews on television (unlike say, Ewan McGregor…who is fabulous).

    I must admit that I tend to avoid movies Angelina Jolie is in, mostly because I think she’s a terrible actress with a weird voice and I don’t like submitting myself to torture. But that’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it.

    Anywho, by my standards this story probably is nonsense, as they all probably are. Where they got the hogwash from, on the other hand, is questionable. They could have made it up or Brangelina could have orchestrated this whole thing to get people off their backs about the recent break-up rumors (which are probably also nonsense).

    And I actually don’t post a comment on every Brad/Angelina post. As a matter of fact, until very very recently (i.e. last week) I refrained from commenting on any post even arbitrarily related to Brangelina. You need to learn to stalk better if you are going to throw around accusations. 🙂

  52. Neil says:

    Mave, I hope your job description as a social worker doesn’t include evaluating the mental health of people. That you would make such evaluations of someone YOU DON’T KNOW is rather disconcerting.

  53. hope says:

    the photo isn’t photoshop.
    http://i44.tinypic.com/1se6n6.jpg

  54. Canuck says:

    That’s not the same photo actually. Close, but not the same. The cover photo has been tampered with. There is no black outline of Brad’s nose in the one that you’ve referenced. That just doesn’t happen in nature I’m afraid.

    Interesting though. Thanks for that find.

    Chayenne: Not even Lainey could find a hand on the bum moment, she was a bit disappointed. Perhaps you could tell me at which point in the red carpet video we see that? It’s certainly not in any of the photos or videos that I’ve seen.

  55. Cheyenne says:

    Canuck: go to jjb.yuku.com and check out the literally dozens of photos and videos of Brad and Angie at Cannes. There are several on there showing Brad’s hand plastered to Angie’s butt as per usual. Sometimes I think you couldn’t pry his hand off there with a crowbar.

    Mave: You’re a social worker and you’re saying Angie is “metally ill”? What is that, an overdose of 18k gold or something?

  56. Chicamorena says:

    Mave: If you’re a social worker you’re a damned unprofessional one. Where do you get off calling Angelina mentally ill when you’ve never even met her, let alone counseled her, and what do you base your fake diagnosis on?

    If I knew your full name and if you were licensed in my state, believe me I’d report you for unprofessional conduct. I’ve known many social workers and unlike you, they are all dedicated, ethical people. It’s people like you who give the profession a bad name.

  57. BlueSkies says:

    Look how much bigger her head is than his!

  58. Josephina says:

    Canuck-

    There is also on YouTube footage of Angelina palming Brad’s ass as well. I believe the taping isabout 56 seconds long, and at the very end,as she drops her hand from holding his lowe back, she slides her hand down and cups Brad’s ass before she lets her hand drop back to her side.

    At the afterparty there is plenty of footage of them kissing, hugging, and playing around with each other having a good time. Like it or not, these two operate quite well as a team. Since they have been together, they have both excelled at and have received recognition for their work as actors and as humanitarians. They share a long term vision and commitment of having and raising a large family TOGETHER. These are the facts. It is what it is. They consistently state in interview that they admire one another and love each other. Those are facts, too. Six kids in five years…fact as well. Love is a beautiful thing.

    So… go on and continue to dismiss, discount or discredit what is quite obvious…Brad and Angie living their lives in love and happiness.

  59. Ursula says:

    Hello Magazine like people magazine is always used by celebs to spin a positive note on their stories. There are so many Brangelina split stories out there and unfortunately, Cannes did nothing to dispel those rumours. Infact many observers could see that all the PDA was contrived and fake.

    This story has so many glaring lies- like most Brangelina stories. Angiejo is not staying with the family in NY she is staying at a hotel. Brad cannot be a house father when he admitted he cannot handle all 6 children at a time.

    My query is, why did their camps see a need to put out this story? Remember there was another rumour dispelling stories in People magazine not so long ago. I smell something fishy. Sorry but with Pitt drinking like a fish, all can’t be that well in paradise.

    Even that ‘I am in love, what more can I want’ was put there by the Pitt camp. All will come out eventually. We don’t have all that long to wait.

    Canuck-
    You have sinned against St. Angelina and the religion Santa Angelinasanus by saying a magazine has photoshopped their glorious, sainted images, to show them more in love than any two creatures from the Heavens could be.

    I will light a candle and pray for your shallow soul.

    I can’t believe how many people have commented on this non story! They’re a happy couple. Good for them, I hope they stay happy. If they break up I’m sure you’ll all be the first to know! Let’s all move on! haha

  62. Canuck says:

    Josephina, I just said that the cover of Hello! has been obviously photoshopped. You don’t have to go on a gentle but vehement “love rant” over it.

    He looks pretty bored here: http://www.keystonepress.net/images/LAMBDA/IMAGES030/20090521_kza_ka2_047.pre

  63. Canuck says:

    Here you can actually see the moment this pose was made. About 2 seconds into the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztz-7tsse7g

    She’s going for lovey-dovey, he whacks his nose on her forehead because he’s trying to say something into her ear. lol

  64. HUH? says:

    a couple of things…

    to “jennifer”…

    “BTW HUH? it’s VERY clear which “side” you’re on so I’m not exactly AGREEING with you, if you see what I’m saying…?”

    no, I don’t see what you’re saying. Which “side” am I on? just FYI, whichever name you pick, you’ll be wrong, because I’m not on either “side”.

    my opinion is that brangeloonies are WAY more wacky than Aniston “fans”, but that’s just what I’ve seen on here. Angie fans seem to bow at her feet and see her as the second coming.

    what bothers me is that anyone who doesn’t like St. Angie is automatically branded as a “Faniston”. I think that Angie is a mediocre actress, and I DON’T think that she’s the “most beautiful woman in the world”. does that automatically mean that I’m on “team Aniston”? NO, IT DOES NOT. Aniston is also a mediocre actress.

    secondly, to “jayem”…I’ll quote you. you are wrong. so very wrong.

    that pic that you linked to is different picture than the banner pic on this page. in the one you linked to, brad’s eyes are closed. the banner pic? they’re open.

    sorry! Wrong!!

    so, yes, while there are plenty of real pictures of them in similar poses, THE COVER PIC ON HELLO! IS PHOTOSHOPPED. Why is that so hard for some of you to accept?

  65. Just leave them alone, and I find the tabloids, paparazi, whatever…are troublemakers (especially homewreckers!).

  66. troublemaking tabloid!

  67. Cheyenne says:

    Ursula: Where is your proof that Brad Pitt is “drinking like a fish”? Put up or shut up. Tabloid stories and rumors on Twitter don’t count as evidence, in case you were thinking of citing these as sources.

  68. Canuck says:

    Morgs:

    I’ll down a glass of holy wine just to make sure I’m in the clear. You’d better have one too. lol

    Anyways, after looking at the video that I posted the link for, it wasn’t a lovey moment. She started to do that pose, and he smushed his nose into her forehead because he was just trying to talk to her. Guess he got a virtual nose-job for the cover, LOL

  69. Contradictions everywhere says:

    Hashbrown, don’t flatter yourself – you’re not that special. The only reason I know that you spew hate on Angie posts is because you pride yourself on saying the most ridiculous things – normally written in ten paragraphs.

    I don’t have to be a stalker to know that you and Ursula are JA camouflaged fans. Both of you have made it your mission to run your mouths when the opportunity presents itself – in this case, AJ/BP posts. The fact that you even came back to this post after it was dead and burried, only to stumble upon my comment, proves my point.

    Just this question, if you’re impartial to both, then how come you don’t diss JA even when she clearly needs dismissing? Could it be because you are in fact a JA fan but are too embarrassed to admit it because of her many blunders? Or is it that claiming unprejudice makes it easier for you to step onto a AJ post and give your opinions on nothing without someone calling you from the enemy camp?

    See, I’m new to this site and have read about two dozen posts – six or seven of which were about AJ/BP – and both you and Ursula never failed to show up on any of them. How about both of you take a hiatus longer than a week (a year is best) to collect your brain cells, get new material and actually stop with the contradictions?

  70. HashBrowns says:

    @Contradictions: Ah, you are new to the site. I see.

    I don’t say ridiculous things. Most of the stuff I say is the most levelheaded on a post. Sometimes I go outside of my box just because I think Angelina’s a moron. Aside from that, I don’t really write long posts unless i have something to say and I usually won’t post unless I have something to say. Make sense?

    I’m not impartial to both. Clearly. And I never said I was. I said I wasn’t a fan of either of them, but for different reasons. I don’t think Angelina can act. At all. And I think she has a weird voice. Jennifer Aniston is…boring. She’s boring on screen and boring in life.

    I don’t “diss” Jennifer Aniston because she’s boring and there is nothing to “diss”. She doesn’t do much of anything which is why it is so bizarre to me that people are constantly on her about…nothing. “OMG shes, desperate and pathetic!” Oookay, how exactly? She’s making movies and dating and has a dog. I just don’t get it.

    “her many blunders?” What blunders?

    “The fact that you even came back to this post after it was dead and burried, only to stumble upon my comment, proves my point.” I go back to a lot of posts because I like reading the comments. Comments are often more fun and silly than the post, didn’t you know that? Especially on Brangelina threads. The laughs to be had are immeasurable.

    And honey, I can have opinions and post them all I want, just like you can. You not agreeing with me doesn’t mean my opinions are wrong, just different. And you suggesting that I take a hiatus is interesting…perhaps my level head and logical posts make you look bad?

  71. megan says:

    I agree, Cheyenne! Anytime the triangle comes up, Hashbrowns is here, spewing nastiness at Brangelina, while defending Jen. That’s fine, but then when someone says anything negative about Jen, she goes nuts. “Jen doesn’t do anything to deserve it?” What bs. Didn’t she just date the biggest fameho on the planet and show up canoodling with him at the Oscars? Yeah, she’s so fameshy. Didn’t she cry that people calling Jen boring were bullies? Why are all these crazy fans such hypocrites? I think both sides are SO ridiculous. Why can’t we make fun of all three overexposed, self-important and narcissistic famehos equally? I’m all for equal fun-making. I hate the crazy fans who can dish it out, but can’t take it back. “Logical posts and level head”? You are so full of your own self-importance, Hashbrowns. You sound like one of those crazy celebs that you so obviously worship.

  72. ally says:

    Not a fan of either? Yeah right, HashBrowns. Nothing says crazed fan like spending endless hours on the internet writing long-winded manifestos about how poor celebs like Jen Aniston are being bullied by no-name fools on the internet. How are they bullying the poor Ms. Aniston? By saying she’s duller than a piece of toast? How very tragic. Maybe, we should start a charity on her behalf. Come out of the closet, you groupie.

  73. HashBrowns says:

    Nice try folks, but my feelings aren’t hurt.

    By the way, I have long periods of time where i have nothing to do at work due to the kids going to art classes/PE/music lessons/that type of thing so I like going on this site and reading the stories and comments. I’m not apologizing for having a job that allows me free time for nonsense.

    Anyway, for the final time, I’m not a Jen fan. I don’t care for her movies and I liked Friends, but really only because of Monica and Chandler.

    I defend her more or less because she does nothing to raise anyone’s ire. That’s the key that you seem to be missing. I guess it reminds me of the girl or boy in a class who is bullied just because they are quiet. I always have one and it always bugs me.

    I didn’t say she was fameshy. I said she makes movies, dates and has a dog.

    I can take anything you guys throw at me, mostly because you are wrong as hell and I know it. I don’t “spew nastiness” at Brangelina. please quote me where I said something just unnecessarily nasty that wasn’t an opinion (i.e. that Angelina can’t act and has a weird voice). I’ve never said that she’s a famewhore, or that she whores her children or that she’s stabbing her kids with knives.

    I leave thought out messages. Sorry if I don’t condense my thoughts into tiny fragments of nonsensical, poorly worded tripe.

  74. Cheyenne says:

    Hash: Aniston raises people’s ire by acting like a goddamn fool. She launches a four-year pity party and perpetually whines about how everybody done her wrong, but she refuses to take any responsibility for her actions. If her marriage fails, she accepts 2% of the blame and throws the other 98% onto her ex. If her movie tanks, the fault is the producer’s, the director’s, her fellow cast members, the crew members, anyone but hers. And on and on and on.

    Like a clueless teenager, she lurches from one failed relationship to the next. One bad relationship can be due to bad luck. Two might be bad luck. Any more than that isn’t bad luck, it’s bad judgment. At her age, you’d expect her to know better. And she seems absolutely incapable of learning from her mistakes. Case in point: running back to John Mayer after he publicly dumped and humiliated her. How stupid/desperate can you get?

    No, I don’t hate the woman. But she irritates the bejesus out of me. She needs to grow the hell up and take some responsibility for her life. But I don’t see that happening any time soon, if ever.

  75. michellle says:

    HB – sarcastic or not, don’t apologize for well written posts.

    I too am not impressed by JA’s talents or lack thereof. Moreover, I have on occasion posted about AJ looking stunning or dressing especially well despite finding Brangelina to indeed be famewhores. Then again, aren’t they all?

    The point being, you’re not alone. I too am amazed by the anger towards someone as wooden as JA. It seems the loons have one thing right, she certainly made a career out of the triangle. Not so much by acquiring fans out of pity but more so by establishing a lynch mob of enemies. Either way the exchange between posters whether impartial, jenhens or loons is entertaining to say the least.

    Bottom line, don’t let those incapable of forming a decent argument, never mind a coherent thought discourage you. Your input is at times refreshing & if nothing else a welcome alternative to some of disturbing hero worship/drivel one finds more & more on this site. Mind you, if spitting in the wind is your thing try Just Jared, they’re freaking nuts.

  76. Jolie Fan 4 ever says:

    I’m just curious.. Why are the tabs not writing stories about the disappearance of Jennifer Aniston. Why no stories about the movie production being stopped because she is “tired”.. Don’t understand. She did what 2 or 4 interviews for Management. Never left the country or the city. So why is she tired again. The tabs keep going to the Brad/Angie break up story because there are people who do nothing but live for the day this relationship ends. Don’t understand but that could be me. They are missing all the other stories. I think the Jennifer Aniston MIA story has more legs then Brad/Angie breaking up.

  77. Cheyenne says:

    LOL no mystery there. The great majority of tabloid readers are Aniston fans. If they weren’t, the slag rags wouldn’t be printing so many fake stories of Brad and Angie’s imminent break-up. They’re watching out for their bottom line (which is looking redder and redder these days), and they know their readers would rather read fake stories about JA’s nemesis than read about JA pulling a disappearing act out of mortification because her crappy movie tanked.

  78. michellle says:

    Could it be there are few JA stories only about JA because she’s a bore?

    Meanwhile, there are numerous AJ/BP stories, usually negative bc people love to hate them & then are those who are simply obsessed, as well as those who just enjoy the exchange between the 2.

    I find it hard to believe the anti Brange tabloid lies are for JA fans. Come on how many can there be? It stands to reason people simply take her side because they dislike Brange more than they like JA.

  79. Pufft says:

    @Michelle: At last…common sense! I completely agree with you.

    Tabloid houses absolutely love Brangelina for the simple fact that, as ironic as it may sound, their survival heavily depends on them. Any news on Brangelina (negative or positive, fabricated or factual) sells. I don’t think they write the negative stories out of spite, but do so because it generates money. Those that worship Brangelina will buy the mags to cry foul, JA fans will buy the magazine to convince themselves that justice does exist and those neutral will buy the magazine to read the forever unfolding Jon/Kate drama. In the end, the magazines wins.

    I’m pretty convinced that tabloid houses popped Champaign bottles the day Brad divorced Jen and ran into Angie’s arms – not because they hate Jen, but because there hasn’t been another couple that generated so much hype since the Elizabeth Taylor/Eddie Fischer/Richard Burton drama.

  80. Cheyenne says:

    Pufft: Who needs to spend money on the tabloids? You can pick up a pretty good summary of what they are saying at Gawker.com which has a hilarious rundown of what they call “Midweek Madness” every Wednesday. Check out their report on this week’s In Touch. According to IT, if you don’t lock eyeballs with your partner at a party and glance away for five minutes, your relationship is on the skids. Or at least that’s what their “body language experts” are maintaining.

    As someone said upthread, the J-Ps are probably doing great, raising their kids, minding their business and experiencing the normal stresses and strains of any parents with a houseful of small children. But happy relationships don’t sell tabloids.

  81. cleveland says:

    So, Hashbrowns says because “Aniston does nothing to raise anyone’s ire” we should not make fun of her? See,
    that’s what I don’t get about fans. They think their view of the world is how everyone else should see things too. Very self-centered thinking.

    I think Aniston does plenty to raise my ire. She makes really cheese-ball, terrible movies, she’s not that great of an actress who has used the sympathy PR to her advantage, she promotes her family-friendly movies by doing a nude photo spread for a men’s magazine, she loves to flaunt her love life for PR(witness the John Mayer spectacle at the Oscars), and her interviews are so cliche, obviously targeting Oprah’s audience. Plus, I love the fact that she constantly whines about the press talking about her love life (“don’t steal my thunder, motherf*ers,” they have ruined my life), while she constantly talks about her love life to the press. What a hypocrite!

    Anyways, she’s not the only celeb who annoys the hell out of me, but she’s up there with the best of them (Brangelina, Heidi and Spencer, and Paris). Only Brangelina/Jen fans
    go crazy when you make fun of them, though. Only them.

  82. HashBrowns says:

    @cleveland: you are literally the only person who has actually explained what bothers you about Jennifer Aniston other than “she’s annoying and pathetic and desperate”.

    I didn’t see such things as you have explained as annoying, but now I can see why someone would be bothered by those things.

    I don’t think everyone should see things as I do. And for the VERY LAST TIME: I am NOT a Jennifer Aniston “fan”. Sorry to disappoint all of you but not everyone who doesn’t like Brangelina is a Jennifer Aniston fan.

  83. y says:

    no more photos, no more news, no more films of these two’s. these two enjoyed their news and tabloid, everyday everywhere there are so many news and photos about these two ho.

  84. mandee says:

    oh my god this couple is so over rated, how can they put brad would never do such a thing to sleep with the nanny, he cheated on his wife with another broad, angelina needs to be insecure, because the way she got him, she’ll loose him, and besides angelina is so over rated, whats the matter with her anyway, sleeping with a married man, does she not have any morals?

    women like that are over controlling and insecure and eventually loose the men.

    as for the tabloids you can never believe what either one of them says because a picture sells a thousand words.

    ===============================

    See, mandee, the difference between you and sane people is that we are AWARE that there’s a whole big wide world out there where the VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD are unaware of who HW celebs are.

    Why am i telling you this? Because it is the real-life experiences of those people, who helped Angie to get a better grasp of the things in life that are really important. When she got outside off the HW bubble she existed in back in her late teens/early 20s, and saw that the majority of the people of the world lived from paycheck to paycheck or worse – hand to mouth, she realized that she lived a very self-indulgent life and had nothing to be full of angst about. So, according to her, she promised herself that never again would she complain about ANYTHING in life nor would she ever indulge in negative and self-destructive thoughts or actions again.

    After she experienced the world outside of HW, she learned to become less self-absorbed and more willing and able to serve the needs of others, which is the greatest calling we have as human beings.

    So, sorry to burst your little bubble but no, she’s one of the least insecure human beings on earth. She willingly walks away from relationships that dont serve the needs of both parties (NB: 2 exhusbands she admits to having been really in love with). And dont you know by now? Angie doesnt need to run after men? They come running after her. They desire her and many of them make no secret of it. You ARE aware of that much, arent you? Its kinda like how it is with women all over the world who are beautiful, accomplished, secure, independent, effortlessly sexy and with the added bonus of being very maternal.

    I know you wouldnt understand but, there it is.

  86. mimi says:

    I am more inclined to believe the story in Hello. I don’t think Brad and Aniston talk else they would have said hello to each other at the Oscars, they sat so close and he totally ignored her, they never said a word to each other. You don’t treat a friend like that. Brad only said they talk so he doesn’t look bad in the press. I also remember Aniston saying not too long ago that she hopes one day she and Brad can be good friends. If they talk, why would she say that.
