Angelina Jolie

[nanandjim]

Yeah really, I also hope she gains enough weight for a healthy pregnancy if it's true. She's a stick figure lately.

I could be wrong, but I thought that I read that Gwyneth Paltrow said that Brad liked his women really thin. She promptly put on 10 pounds when they parted ways. Every time I see a skeletal AJ, I think about that comment.

 

[Amraann]

Adopting any child anywhere is such a laudable thing that I can't understand people finding something wrong with where you chose to adopt a child that no one else wants. Who cares - there's one less parentless child in the world after you adopt!

I agree with this!! It also should be noted that American children are usually quickly adopted and not at the same level of risk as some unwanted children in third world countries.

 

[Amraann]

Nope, mine doesn't either. He thinks she's a freak and says Brad is crazy for leaving Jen for a psycho like her. I think her "psycho" tendancies have cooled alot and I wonder if they were really just for shock value to begin with.

I think it was shock value... she was a young actress and needed publicity.

I never liked Jen.. She comes off as a B**** IMO.
The only movie I ever liked her in was Derailed (I think that is the name)

I agree. Plus, Brad wanted lots of children. I'm assuming that Jen did not. I think that Jen will find her perfect mate in due time. I must admit that, from outer appearances, it really seems like Brad and Angelina are much better suited for one another. I wish nothing but happiness for their family.

That's a big assumption to make on Jen's part. Did you ever see an interview where she said she didn't? All the interviews I say her do she said she wanted children and that was one of the reasons she didn't want to do friends anymore. Even if that was true, I'm sure Jen would have preferred Brad leave her for that reason before his affair instead of chosing adultery first.

I think that I recall either seeing or reading an interview where Brad said that he wanted 6 or 8; and she said, maybe, two. Now, I am taking liberties here, but it was something like that.

P.S. I personally like Jen's media persona better than AJ's. My husband thinks that Jen is a hottie.

Gotta agree with you about Jen, and don't forget there's two sides to evry story! Just never know.

I love Brad and Jolie, they both seem to try and help with some of the issues in the world....use their money for good.

At least, we're not hearing about her stealing a lighter from a store or whatever else BS is doing these days!! I'm sick of hearing about her. :bang: Maybe she could take suit and try to help do some good with all her money and time it just might give her something to focus on and make her feel better about herself!

If you're referring to Jen about doing something with her money you will be glad to know that she does work for St. Judes. She's also a very good friend of Oprahs and contributes to her causes. It's just that she doesn't flaunt it to the world like Brangelina seems to think is necessary. Obviously Jen does it to make herself feel better not to make headlines.

I remember that interview and if I remember correctly that was while or just after he was filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He eluded to wanting lots of kids and wanted to start very soon. I guess he already had, just with Angelina, not his own wife. IMO, stating you only want 2 kids instead of 6 or 8 does not mean you do not want kids.

 

[nanandjim]

...she doesn't flaunt it to the world...

Many celebrities, philanthropists, athletes, etc., do a lot and don't do it for the publicity. B&A feel the need to publicize to the world. Well, at least, they are giving back, right? I'd much rather see celebrities using their fame to highlight a cause instead of using it to spout off their political views.

No, I was talking about Britney Spears-

I was talking about Brad & Jen's split- in the fact there's two sides to every story.

I love Angie & Brad! If this is true, I wish them all of the best!

I'm glad they publicize what they do...it's very inspirational and makes me want to give back more.

And who cares where they adopt from?
A child in need does not know a nationality.

And least we forget that Angie lost her mom not too long ago. When I lost my dad to cancer, I dropped 35lbs like right now. In fact, any time that I'm really stressed, the weight falls off of me. I don't think we should judge her for that.

Indeed, I don't think we should judge them at all. They are making a difference in our world...however they choose to do it...that is honorable.


No wonder Brad left JA for Angie. She has little substance. Weak, self involved women are not nearly as attractive as strong, enlightened women who know their place in this world and have the drive to make the world a better place.
Brad couldn't resist Angie's life force...and he seems like a better, happier, more conscientious man for his effort. The man was destined to be a father, a caregiver to those who need. The change has brought out the best in him. He just glows when he talks about his children....and even when he talks about the projects he's involved in. That is powerful and so fullfilling. Angie gave him that. They compliment each other very well. Many years of happiness to them.


As for Jennifer "Angst" ton, as I like to call her....she can just keep on contributing to the fashion world , continue being the third wheel to the Cox/Arquettes (did they adopt her or what?) and just go puff on her ciggies so that she can have more plastic surgery when that ages her prematurely. Maybe she'll blame that on a deviated septum too
Her whininess and "poor me" attitude make me ill. I can't suffer a "victim", especially one of their own making.
Just get over it already! She's been served!

ETA: Amraan, my husband doesn't find AJ pretty either....but then again he calls Jennifer Aniston "Jennifer Maniston". He thinks Jennifer A. looks manly in the face...it's the chin and nose I think. Jen's had some work done... at least AJ is a natural beauty. I think she is gorgeous. Very exotic looking and comfortable in her own skin.
Anyway, I guess the only woman my DH thinks is beautiful is me!

 

[FlowerChild]

Please lets hope that Brad Does not up and Marry Zahara in 15 years like Woody (Pervert) Allen did to Mia's adopted daughter!!

I like Brad and Angelina. Although my husband must be one of the few men who do not find Angelina attractive!

Tell your hubby he has company - my hubby does NOT think AJ is at all beautiful, or even "pretty" - he says she is too "hard" looking and her face too "angular" for him. And Mr FC prefers skinny girls (I am 100lbs 5'1) but says AJ's body does nothing for him - he calls her too "rangy", kinda all muscles, like a race horse. He doesn't find her "look" attractive and he thinks her lips and mouth are way oversized for her face - little skinny face and angular cheeks and HUGE puffy lips. He DOES like Jennifer A - thinks she is sexy in a very natural way.

BTW, Mr FC met, worked with Brad several years ago on a movie "Legends Of The Fall" with one of the "animal wranglers" for the movie (long story, but also knows the "Bart" bear family the Seus's too) and he ruined my "lust" for Brad - Brad evidently is not a big "bather" and he often SMELLS - DH said BART (the bear) smelled better most days. Brad kinda had (at that time) the whole "natural man" thing going on- no deod, no shampoo, no toothpaste, no showering, unlaundered clothes - and it wasn't for the PART either. From what the animal trainer has said (he has worked with Brad since) it hasn't improved much in the intervening years - while it's "better" he said Brad still lacks some finesse in the hygiene dept.

He's pretty but I can't overcome STINKY - guess AJ either has him cleaned up or she likes a "natural" smell????

My Opinion

OMG! First Matthew McConaughey, now Brad? Geesh!
I guess I'd just have to suffer....

I don't have a problem with them flaunting it... Actually they should ..
Mainly because their celeb status brings about needed publicity for the cause .... then others will follow suit.

 

[nanandjim]

Interesting tidbits, FC. Do you think that Brad Pitt (and, maybe, other celebrities) could just not shave/bathe/etc. to keep people away from them on the set? I just can't imagine them being like that around their friends and family.

 

[Amraann]

Ember good for your hubby!!!
He should think your more beautiful!!!

Flowerchild... I should admit that I think Hubby is wrong about Angelina's looks.
I think she is very pretty..
I have never asked him about Jen...

 

[deanws]

Brad Pitt can "go away"... he's no roll model - he's not even a person who one should respect after he showed his true colors. He's an atrocious piece that Jen is well rid of and Angelina can have... Brad and Ang deserve each other.

GREAT post MagicRose! I agree 100%!!!:clap:

My boyfriend said she looks like a "bug-eyed trout"!

[southcitymom]

One thing is for certain - any thread entitled Angelina Jolie is going to stir up some strong opinions!:crazy:

For the record, I really like Jennifer and Brad and Angelina.
