Amongst this week’s tabloid hate-on for Angelina Jolie, Brangelina decided to make a very public outing. They got all dressed up and attended a “private viewing” of what looks like a black-and-white photography exhibit at The Museum of Contemporary Art on Saturday night. From these pictures, Brad and Angelina aren’t groping each other or even holding hands. Honestly, they look a little like wax statutes. Most media outlets are making this out to be a “response” the all of the tabloid reports of trouble in their relationship, and I kind of think those reports might be dead-on. It seems like a public show of unity (even if they weren’t touching) might have been timed specifically to battle rumors. Which would make them just like every other celebrity.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt left their six children at home Saturday as they enjoyed a private viewing of The Museum of Contemporary Art’s new 30th anniversary exhibition in Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old Jolie, in a strapless Armani Prive gown, and Pitt, 45, didn’t pack on the PDA like they normally do for photographers.
Instead, they walked around the gallery — occasionally leaving each other’s side to look at pieces on their own.
[From Us Weekly]
I love Angelina’s dress, even though I feel like her go-to look is endless supply of black strapless gowns and cocktail dresses. Seriously, Versace, Armani and Eli Saab need to cut her off. She’s hooked on black strapless! But this Armani one is different – it has pockets! And it looks surprisingly comfortable, which is nice. Angelina also looks like she’s put on a little weight since her some her last big public outings, when she was photographed in Syria (in October) and Kenya (in September). I’m not saying she’s back to a healthy weight, I’m just saying she doesn’t look as bony as she did last month. As for Brad – well, the goatee/beard thing is still there, but he dressed up in a nice suit and he doesn’t look baked. Which is a plus.
*Sigh* – what’s the next story? Jolie and Pitt walk down the hall..Jolie and Pitt get into a car…Jolie and Pitt walk like everyday humans..Jolie and Pitt announce they are still have mind blowing animal sex in latex suits despite Vatican declaring them living saints- In reality I don’t care, couldn’t care less they are no longer the entertainers, the people who post comments are so let the games begin..
My God, that beard is ugly.
These pictures made me laugh, I don’t know why. Brad looks like he has been brought here at gun point, isn’t he supposed to be a lover of art? But I guess it is hard to look comfy when every one is whispering that you were manipulated into a relationship and you were not clever enough to see it.
Kaiser, I do agree with you about the black dress thing. Its gotta go.
I love her dress.
Ugh! That mangy beard. A moth magnet.
There are pictures of them them talking, touching, smiling but those wouldn’t go with the breakup stories the tabs and blogs are writing. Calling this a publicity stunt doesn’t make sense considering every week there’s tabloid stories of breakups and fighting. Brad is a huge lover of comtemporary/modern art. He would have been there even if there were no rumors. Unlike other celebrities, I think they actually came for the art not the event. They didn’t even do the redcarpet and dinner. A huge opportunity to say “we’re happy and in love” since that why people are saying that’s the sole intention of attending. Besides if they had their hands all over each people would still say it’s a publicty stunt.
It takes a lot to make Armani, and his designer duds, LOOK trashy. But they accomplish it.
The two of them out in tandem after negative stories appear: Yawn
Angie in a strapless black dress looking placid:yawn
Angie and Brad looking at art together:yawn
Brad w/o newsboy hat:OMFGWTF!
*pops some popcorn and gets ready for comments*. Anyone care to join me?!
@Jazz- *Plops down on sofa hands Jazz a soda and a Reeses*
lol Ursula I was thinking the same thing. These photos look hilarious, I feel embarassed for them. On a sidenote I think Angie looks very pretty, even though she`s dressed like a princess wanna-be.
didn’t take long for the hate to begin just like CB wanted. Sad
@Firestarter *gets comfortable on sofa and hands Firestarter some pizza*
@Jazz- Napkin?
The body language reveals more than what any writer can reveal.
Their relationship isn’t as close at it used to be.
woohoo we have the body language expert in the house lol. My bf and I go to museums and really concentrate on the pieces we are looking without touching or talking. I guess that mean our relationship is in trouble lol
BTW Since when do they ever pack on the pda for photographers
The police were video taped by X17 at Brad and Angelina’s home over the weekend but insist there was no problems. Huh? Uniformed police officers in a cruiser on the tax payers’ payroll. WTF?

I just wanted to be the first in this thread to say JENNIFER ANISTON!!
that is all…
these pics seem weird to me. Every one of them looks like the photographer asked them to stand and pose as if they were deep in thought over what they were seeing.
I realize that they were at an art event, and the PDA touchy/feely stuff isn’t appropriate, but it appears as if the photographer purposely only distributed pics like these, and none with them appearing more warm toward each other.
actually, that is not all… I find peoplel who make personal, private assessments of the innermost thoughts of celebrities to be very amusing/disturbing/confusing… and it appears to happen most often with these two…
so please, do continue 😀
Rosalee, great posts… I had decided that this couple had jumped the shark looong time ago when there were threads about their donut and ice cream outings…
But I guess we continue to make comments at alarming rates so the stories will continue to come :/
@Jazz & @Firestarter:
Is there room on the sofa for me? I brought nachos,guacamole and salsa!
X-17 video was a false alarm investigation while they were with all the kids at Yo Gabba Gabba. They have a great alarm system. What about the video showing them arm in arm with each other at MOCA, loving and happy while enjoying a private tour of MOCA?
Some of you live the ugliest most miserable lives ever.
@LolaBella- Hell yeah! *scoots over and makes room*
@Rita- They have a great alarm system?! Did you install it?
@ Firestarter, Jazz & LolaBella I brought wine & cheese.
Angelina just tries too hard.
You know what I thought of when I first saw these picture’s?When Mr. &Mrs. was being promoted,or maybe it was the opeaning,when they where claiming not to have anything going on,and they stood arm’s length away from each other,wouldnt touch talk or look at each other.They had the same looks on their faces.
I don’t think firestarter realises how blatant her passive aggressive jolie jabs are…you’re very clever and funny though usually, but your disgust always shows no matter how cool you play it.. sorry, i know i don’t know you but thats just my opinion based on all your opinions thus far on CB
They look very cold and distant from each other, very staged. She looks like she’s trying to overcome the awkwardness -but winds up looking even more awkward.
He looks determined to keep the distance by keeping his hands occupied/in his jacket or folded against each other.
@lilred and LolaBella – there’s plenty of room for all!
@Raven- Well thank you for the qualified analysis.
Based on how you view my posts (and this is me being passive/aggressive) might I suggest you skip over them and save yourself the trouble of a passive/aggressive attack on me.
Thanks, bye!
Well, I think their body language says…..this art suxs!!
You know Jen saw these pictures, curled up like a fetus and is, at this moment, catatonic with grief over her barren womb.
Now I have to get back to my ugly, miserable life. Why can’t I be like Firestarter? I always wanted to be passive agressive!
This is what happens when a couple is always photographed smiling and physically touching each other. It’s what the public has come to expect.
So if they are doing something very different from what they usually do, questions will be raised!
I hope that Jen isnt crying in fetal position over her barren womb.Brad is obviously nothing to want anymore.I think he isnt very happy with Angie.He probably misses his life with Jen.He has been looking so old and sad lately.Jen on the other hand has a parade of yummy younger guys.O.k. let the personal attacks on me begin.
There are several pics of them standing close together while Brad is caressing Angie’s arm also video… wonder why gossip blogs didn’t buy those pics??? Guess it does not jibe with the break up news eh?
@Daisy- Oh sorry Daisy, but the personal attacks are usually waged on me. You might try to be a little more passive/aggressive like me (or so the “experts” say), that apparently gets their attention! ; P
@Daisy – it was a joke. Poking fun at the people that say Brad left Jen because she wouldn’t have children and now that he has a half dozen with St. Angie, all Jen is left with is her life with no children and douchebag boyfriends.
Can’t comment on the state of Billy Goat and St. Angie’s relationship because I don’t live with them and didn’t finish my class in body language. Well, and because my own life is too complicated to care about theirs. Much. I’m still moth to flame when I see pics of them and get to be snarky.
This is one of the worst threads I have ever read on CB. Effing boring comments.
sorry snowball!I too, couldn’t care less,but cant seem to resist talking about them:].I have this crazy urge to defend jen,I have no idea why,except I see evil in Angie.Firestarter…I have no idea why you get personally attacked,I happen to always agree with you,and I think your passive aggressive ways are much funnier,and dare I say classier then some of these crazies!
Caressing the arm is a bit…rich. He looks like he’s trying to push her off at first and then awkwardly rubs her upper arm. Who “caresses” the upper part of someone’s arm when they are standing right next to them? Seems a bit off to me. Normally a man would just go for the waist since her hand wasn’t available.
Actually Angelina was just staring at the wall in one of those pics. They had to photoshop the pictures hanging on the wall so that no one would know. Big bucks were paid out to do that! I thought that passive-aggressive people don’t say what they mean. Firestarter tells it like it is. This means she is forthright. Would anyone like her to stop being forthright? If you are going to criticize someone at least get the term correct. It’s probably bubbles, at it again.
They look like crap. He looks like a bloated troll, and she looks like a waxwork that some child scrawled on with a Sharpie.
BOring. Maybe we could hear about them again when they do something NEWSworthy?
Those photos look too formal and totally staged, and badly at that. Old Billy Goat’s Gruff there needs to uncross his arms and stop trying to look all deep and serious and contemplative. And she should give up trying to look interested. The art in the photos is boring.
I’m also thinking that surely actors know enough about body language to fake it if they want to. Maybe they’re just f*cking with the haters and get a huge laugh out of all the OMGbodylanguage! They hate each other! posts on the internet.
So right Rosalee. Brad and Angelina pick up the newspaper! Brad and Angelina breathe oxygen! Angelina Jolie walks by putting one foot in front of the other! Brad Pitt has two hands and ten fingers! Brad and Angelina are carbon life forms! Oooh, aaah.
it wasn’t a personal attack, just an observation, i agree the triangle brings out the crazy in people, but there is the other in between, the ones who act above it all but always seem to comment anyway on threads about the triangle. but yeah, can’t really skip your posts, because 99.9% of the time like i said, you’re pretty witty, but this isnt about you, sorry if it seems like an attack.
*zoooms past the armchair psychology*
These photos are a hoot – gotta say I think the “This is my intelligent-staring face; watch me stare intelligently at this Art” faces are adorable. Angie’s dress is nice enough – although I think she’s holding a jacket/shawl rather than putting her hands in pockets. It’s all right, but nothing special.
Unlike that Galliano dress she wore at the premiere of Mr. & Mrs. Smith that Daisy mentione above. God that was a dress!
Angie, sweetheart, step away from the Armani and MAKE Charlize share John with you.
I think these pictures are HILARIOUS. First of all, did they bring along a personal photographer? Photographs aren’t usually allowed in such a place. So I guess I just answered my own question…
Second, they’re both trying WAY too hard to look intelligently at the works. I actually graduated in art and I’ve been to countless museums and critiqued countless shows. Why would somebody hire a photographer to follow them around and take ridiculously formal/serious pictures of yourself viewing art? I know people will get mad, but I think this gives them away. If they’d opted to go for a night out on the town (like the book thing they did a few weeks ago) or with their kids (like the trick-or-treat thing) then it wouldn’t scream PR. This just reeks of image control. And sorry, but Brad looks like he’d rather be anywhere else.
Angie has a gorgeous face, shiny or not. Brad looks like a civil war reinacter. And they look like they are looking at art. Not much to see or pronounce upon. But that won’t stop anyone, will it?
I wonder how many other couples moves, facial expressions, gestures are analyzed the way Brad/Angie are. I mean come on. If they touch it is fake. If they look at each other it is for camera shot, if they don’t touch they are breaking up. if they are not together at an event they they have broken up, if they are seen without their kids then they are a neglectful parent, if they are seen with the kids then they are pimping them, if they are seen without the kids then the nannies have them.
Now note we see other celebs out without a spouse, mate or kids.. we see other celebs doing everyday things. nothing said.
I just wanted to get the Brad/Angie Double Standard Playbook correct.
@everyone —
I’ve got ice cream.
I don’t know. I’ve tried to stay really neutral on these two for awhile. When Brad was out and about in Europe doing movie promos he looked really happy. As soon as Angelina’s sharing the scene, he looks exactly as I did for two years before my divorce. I don’t think he can stand her. I really hate saying that because deep down I don’t really care, but it’s getting to the point of “Oh, just split already.”
As far as the women in his life, I personally don’t see either of the chicks doing anything to each other. Jen dates. Angelina pretends she’s holy and humble. I think the tabs have created this whole animosity thing (not that Anistoned wouldn’t give him another chance, she’s a dumbass for doing it with Mayer) but it’s not like she’s doing a billion desperate interviews or overtly whoring.
Regardless, it’s getting boring and Angelina needs to retire like she keeps saying she’s gonna.
Just sayin’. And please pass the guac.
How come everytime that PITT is photographed with her he never smiles.. Just an observation but he looks sad and or miserable. definitely has aged 10 years too. just my opinion…
raven,Im kinda confused,you said “this isnt about you” to Firestarter,but you brought her up for no reason.I dont think she was saying anything that you needed to respond to like that in the first place.your comment was off the wall.This is what this site is for,to state your opinions.As for brad and Angie,you can tell they cant stand to be near each other.just look at their eyes.
@Daisy- Because for some odd reason, people on this site can say the same things as me or worse and I will be the one people single out as the big, bad, bully.
In Chris Brown threads, people can go off on Brown, but the loon Chris Brown apologists come after me. In a Pitt/Jolie thread I can make a joke, and others can rant on and on about the two and yet I am the one people have to attack.
I guess I should feel flattered that I get such notice, but frankly, I wish people would just skip over my posts since they find me so mean and push on to the next comment.
firestarter… it’s probably just a case of statistics on your part… you have a lot of posts… I wouldn’t take it too personally…
okay…i just made a spur of the moment comment about firestarter/ her opinions, not that i was picking on her or anything, just a thought that crossed my mind, when i said it wasn’t about her, i meant it was a gossip site and a thread about bp/aj and all that. sorry if it seemed weird or off the wall, as i usually just lurk, and CB is cool because most of the posters are really funny and witty, you can get the gossip anywhere but no the laughs… so can we just forget it all?
Sorry I’m late…is there any salsa left?!! Please, please let there be salsa left!!!
IMHO, they look miserable.
“They look like crap. He looks like a bloated troll, and she looks like a waxwork that some child scrawled on with a Sharpie”
I will listen to this when I see a picture of YOU which I can only assume is at least 75 pounds over weight with uncolored roots and stretchy pants!
People only stab at others to make themselves feel better and don’t have anyone in their pathetic little lives to build them up!
Umm…Karla? That’s quite an accusation for a board full of people that can’t prove it wrong. I could be “out there” or “open-minded” (gasp), but I seriously doubt that all negative feelings towards others are generated because of self-loathing. That’s something that out mothers tell us in gradeschool when kids are picking on us. If that’s the case, then most of the world is jealous of Jon Gosselin because he’s certainly hated at the moment…wait! What am I saying? I need to run out and get my roots dyed and run my arse out of these sweatpants!!!!
she looks high and waxy, the same way she did at Cannes.
the important thing its contemporary art, what I find interesting.
