Johnny Depp is currently in Japan, promoting something, I think. Oh, I see… he’s promoting The Tourist! And he shaved too – you can see some photos here. I’d forgotten how nice he looks when he shaves. Anyway, these are older photos from Depp and Angelina Jolie’s European tour for The Tourist, back when Jolie’s style problems were raging, and Depp looked really bloated. Throughout the publicity tour for the film, Depp and Jolie didn’t have a bad word to say about each other, at all. They were both really sweet about working with each other, but you could tell that they were both trying to avoid the “they totally got it on during filming” association in the tabloid press. Anyway, when Depp was in Japan (without Angelina, who is in Afghanistan) he was asked about Angelina again. He was nice:
Johnny Depp says working with Angelina Jolie on his latest film taught him to think of her in a different way – as a great mother.
Depp says he does not know how Jolie and husband Brad Pitt handle parenthood while juggling the distractions of being famous. He says Jolie is “a shockingly great mother” and remains calm despite all the paparazzi and pressures of fame.
Depp says he’d “probably be in prison” if he had to deal with as many kids.
Jolie and Pitt have six children. Depp has two with French actress Vanessa Paradis.
[From The Huffington Post]
Why “shockingly” good? I guess he’s talking about the number of kids, right? Like, he would forgive her if she was a bad mother with six kids, just because of the sheer volume of insanity that comes with that many children.
Speaking of, this week’s In Touch Weekly has a story about Angelina telling the kids that they’re relocating from LA to New Orleans while Daddy shoots a film. According to ITW (via Jezebel), Shiloh and Pax “started throwing a tantrum…They threw themselves on the floor and cried.” And: “Pax got so upset that he ran and hid somewhere on the property and it took four people a half an hour to find him. Shiloh is super upset because she has a crush on one of her classmates, Pierre.” Talk about burying the lead – Shiloh’s boyfriend is named PIERRE?!? I bet Shiloh beats him with her cardboard sword.

Whatt???
I kind of actually hope that Shiloh has a crush on a classmate named Pierre. That’s a really cute tidbit.
I think Depp’s comment does have to do with the sheer amount of children. Anyone who can remain calm with more than ONE booger covered brat gets my respect. To have six, of varying young ages, and NOT be dead behind the eyes seems almost unfathomable to me. If I were Jolie, would’ve been committed a long time ago.
So glad Johnny shaved. Still very very handsome.
I read about ‘Pierre’ on another site and seriously busted a gut. I almost think it’s true because Pierre sounds like such an obvious fictitious name. Or maybe Life & Style is just that dumb.
BTW Johnny looks soooo much better now that he’s shaved.
EDIT: oh it’s In Touch they are really that dumb 🙂
My mother had 9 kids…believe me, she needed about 20 nannies to help her, with our bad asses driving her crazy.
i think it is so sweet shiloh has a crush on a classmate …when my 5 yr old daughter told me she has a crush on a boy i felt OLD for the first time in my life
So are many mothers out there.
Next.
Omg! Shiloh is like super upset about leaving her new french boyfriend Pierre. Fucking hilarious!
Well I guess that clears up Shilo’s sexual orientation then.*sarcasm*
@ devilgirl:completely agree and they aren’t even famous.
“Talk about burying the lead – Shiloh’s boyfriend is named PIERRE?!? I bet Shiloh beats him with her cardboard sword.”
LOL, Kaiser. Imagery, par excellence.
@devilgirl
Agree.
Of course Shiloh’s beau is Pierre. She needs a French boyfriend to practice her French since that is their second language!!!! Of course last year she was a lesbian, at three years of age so I guess being four made her switch back(yuck).You can tell tabloids are running out of stories about Brad and Angelina when this kind of silliness is written up. Stories about the children are either funny or horrifying. They should really be left alone.
If i had one nanny per child, i might be as good a mother as Angelina.
Im sure for the few minutes a day she actually mothers those children, she is wonderful!!!
I think Johnny meant that her 6 kids are tough to be around, and he couldn’t wait to get back to his small family.
“So are many mothers out there.
Next.”
“@ devilgirl:completely agree and they aren’t even famous.”
“If i had one nanny per child, i might be as good a mother as Angelina.”
Translation: “Hey I have kids and no one tells the world how great I am. Wwwaaaaahhhh. I need attention too!!! Wwwahhhh. Hey, hey, don’t look at HER, look at MEEEEEEE!!!!”
Pathetic. Her being called a good mother doesn’t in any way shape or form denigrate other mothers. Just as her being charitable doesn’t make others LESS charitable. And tearing her down doesn’t raise YOU up, it just makes you look like a jealous jack ass.
“Shockingly” because you thought she’d be awful? Shame on you, Johnny!
Personally, I feel I could raise every orphaned child in Haiti, if I had an equal number of nannies.
“Pathetic. Her being called a good mother doesn’t in any way shape or form denigrate other mothers.”
Yes, because pointing out that in order to be a “mother” one has to actually look after one’s own children makes you a zOMG!!!111 tOTaL jELLuZ h8r!!!! I bet you still think she’s got her Lara Croft body too, and doesn’t look like Gollum naked…
I just have to point out none of you have actually spent anytime with her or her children so you don’t know whether or not she is a good mother or how much time she actually spends with them. If this was anyone else you wouldn’t be so full of vitriol for what is a pretty mundane comment.
So wait- you mean the kids just want a normal, stable life in one place and get really bent out of shape when they need to drop their lives for Daddy’s latest job? Wow. That IS shockingly good parenting. I can’t WAIT till the kids write books about these messes.
Kind of agree with # 15 Runs with Scissors:
“Pathetic. Her being called a good mother doesn’t in any way shape or form denigrate other mothers. Just as her being charitable doesn’t make others LESS charitable. And tearing her down doesn’t raise YOU up, it just makes you look like a jealous jack ass.”
Maybe you can’t compare her with “ordinary” moms out there, she is priviliged and very successfull in many ways and there are some people who do a good job at many things.
So, we shouldn’t feel jealous or less because we don’t lead her life and get those compliments.
After all, the true reward comes in the fact that your kids love you for doing all you can to make them happy, no matter who you are or what you do …..
like why is it soo ‘shocking’, JD?
oh please. when you only work a few months a year, have lots of money, a nanny and a housekeeper i’m thinking that makes it a whole lot easier to be a “shockingly great” mother. i have friends who work really, really hard for a tiny fraction of brangelina’s money, get only 2 weeks vacation and have no help at all, yet they are wonderful parents, as are most people. shock!
LMAO! Shiloh SOOO does NOT have a boyf called PIERRE! omg! ITW. you constantly outdo yourself! Empress Zee, on the other hand, has DROVES of SUITORS and is still waiting to pass a Royal Decree on which one of those cute little boys is gonna be her minion boyfriend. lol!
you are waiting for the kids to get older to write a book about their lives. How pathetic is that? You must really need a life
i think they’re a FABULOUS family.
“According to ITW (via Jezebel), Shiloh and Pax “started throwing a tantrum…They threw themselves on the floor and cried.”
Yeah. Things my 3 year old threw himself on the floor & cried over today; we were out of banana yogurt, his favorite shirt was dirty & he wanted to walk the dog along a major highway because it’s one of the few street names he remembers.
The tantrum thing? They do that.
Amen devilgirl.
This is a gossip site folks, not a We Heart Celebs site. Quit defending AJ like she is your personal friend. I’m here for the entertainment, and snark is much more entertaining than blind adoration of random, rich, self-involved, freakishly good-looking people
@devilgirl & MaggieGrace; That was so unnecessary. If a friend complimented YOUR mothering abilities and skills and grace under pressure, I take it y’all would just say; NEXT!
Angelina has nannies, a cook and a staff …… anyone could be a good mother with that much help.
I don’t KNOW or CARE what type of mother she is, unless she is so bad that her children should be taken away from her and I don’t even know if I care about that all that much – there’s nothing I can do about it. And I care even less about hearing people defend her who know nothing about her either! This is about having fun, not getting your pants in a wad.
@maggiegrace: yeah, it’s about women having fun ‘snarking’ other women.
@ Kasier “Ibet Shiloh beats him with her cardboard sword.”. That is funny lol. But I am biased when it comes to Jolie and Pit. I envy them and adore them together. So, I like that Depp gave a compliment to her. I think you really have to be mentally strong to deal 6 kids. So kudos to her all the way.
“its divine…”
Someone: Im sure for the few minutes a day she actually mothers those children, she is wonderful!!!
==========================================
And of course you know exactly how many minutes per day she actually mothers her children because you are right there with a stopwatch and counting. Right?
Try pulling your foot out of your mouth before you choke on your own stupidity.
WOW My man looks HOT doesnt he? Look how, with a few words he gets all the ladies worked up.. teehee.
Ahhhhh, I love him..
@Cheyenne I have a feeling someone is actually there with a stopwatch and counting 😉
Sakyiwaa- I see nothing in my comment that was “so unnecessary”, so if you are trying to bait me into some internet Angelina Jolie argument- FAIL.
There is nothing extraordinary about being a good mother. Every mother out there SHOULD be a good mother. While there are mother’s who are horrible, most are no different than Jolie, so I do not think it nneds to be pointed out that she is a good mother, because there are millions of them out there, and they don’t get any praise, they just do their job and that is that.
Enjoy your day.
Now there’s a backhanded compliment if ever there were one!!!
@devilgirl: well, enjoy your day too, devilgirl. keep at your devilish ways and say ‘hi’ to the NEXT awesome mother you’re surrounded with for me. ta-ta!
No one ever minds a Simple Compliment.
Well put @lili. But I doubt she has had plastic surgery (evidence?!). Jolie always looks that way. Never knew that Jolies father is that famous that he got her into the business.
If the only reason why Jolie is famous is because of Jon Voigt who despite his Oscar isn’t that big in the buisiness where the fuck is Rumour Wilis’s Oscar????
Str8Shooter:
March 3rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm Now there’s a backhanded compliment if ever there were one!!!
______________
That’s exactly what I was thinking, too!
Of course there are millions of other mothers out there who do a damn fine job with several children. But this is a celebrity gossip site. We’re not talking about regular people. So why bring it up? That’s pretty silly.
Johnny always has polite, nice things to say about Angelina and vice versa. But they’re super professionals, of course they’d be nice to each other in public, even if they felt differently in reality. You don’t get to the top in Hollywood by badmouthing your fellow superstars.
It’s easy to be a “shockingly great mother” when you have 6+ hired nannies doing all the actually mother work.
@Rubenesque LOL. How dare you run out of banana yogurt! hehehehe.
Does anyone else find it disturbing that tabloids report on these kids’ lives as if they’re sitting there in the room with them? It’s just weird.
The “shockingly” is a little funny, but I too think it’s because there’s so many kids, and my guess is JD saw them all being rambunctious and was like, whew, I’ve only got two!
Meg is the only poster here with their finger on the pulse of this story.
These kids are moved around like extensions of their parents’ luggage. No wonder they’re having meltdowns.
@Bill Hicks usually I enjoy your snark (even if I don’t agree with your opinion) but are you seriously taking an In Touch Weekly article as a reliable eyewitness account? Also many, if not all kids have tantrums.
Johnny seems like a really sweet person. I love his low key personality.
Runs with Scissors: “Translation: “Hey I have kids and no one tells the world how great I am. Wwwaaaaahhhh. I need attention too!!! Wwwahhhh. Hey, hey, don’t look at HER, look at MEEEEEEE!!!!””
============================================
ROTFLMBAO!! 😆
To those of you inferring things from his use of the term “shockingly”… it’s a pretty common expression in Europe. It’s interchangeable with “very.”
And I loved Jezebel’s take on the Shiloh story… “you mean she’s not a lesbian?!”
Funny how some would rather believe tabloid lies than firsthand/eye witness accounts (Depp). According to Depp and many, many other NAMED sources Jolie & Pitt are great parents and their kids are happy & well-behaved. Photos seem to indicate the same things. BTW, it’s, wonderful that Shiloh’s boyfriend accepts her, despite her severe Downs syndrome. Yes, Shiloh has been accused by the tabloids more times than even her siblings have as having. DS…critical thinking? Logic? Not when it comes to the tabloids!
“Shockingly” because according to the rags she’s a crazy, selfish lunatic who only adopted/had kids as an artifice to make herself look good, dontchaknow. /sarcasm.
Define “shockingly good”.
jesus
Not sure why what I said should be interpreted as a “backhanded compliment”, but hey read in to it whatever you like if it makes you feel better.
It never ceases to amaze me how goddamn CRAZY people get over every totally random, possibly fictional story about Angelina Jolie. What is it about this woman that makes people dial their insanity up to 11? I’m honestly curious, I mean there are plenty of other Hollywood people who are highly regarded for middling-to-good roles, involved with humanitarian charities and have nannies for their children, so why is it THIS woman who people endlessly lose their shit over?
They’re all great mothers -with their nannies.
Makes me wonder how Angelina would cope without her nannies.
Please, they are all actors. They act (ie lie). Like I’m going to believe Depp. It’s not enough that he doesn’t even bathe regularly?
People have to be really naive to think that these kids will be normal. They don’t even stay in one place to establish friendships in schools for chrissakes.
If that was any other child in America or any other country, the parents would have child services onto them for disrupted schooling alone. But because we have two huge celebrities, who have enough money to outearn a small developing country, people turn a blind eye.
These celebrities live on a different, narcissistic plane, than the rest of us.
I think anyone who thinks they have knowledge of what kind of mother Angelina is by reading a tab is living on their own special planet that I am most decidedly not interested in visiting. I think anyone who would suggest she should have her children taken away never having met her or her children when there is not one whit of proof of abuse is seriously demented. I’d love to listen in on the CPS phone call if you ever had the balls to do it though.
Actually, this IS sort of entertaining, in a bat-shit crazy kind of way.
@Saskia: I often wonder that myself, but I think when it comes down to it, we all probably know why she brings out the crazies… 🙁
Feebee: Define “shockingly good”.
=======================================
LOL! Define “terribly good” or “awfully good” or “terribly nice” or “awfully nice”. Brits say those all the time. So do a lot of Americans who are trying to sound upper-class.
And the wheels on this bus goes round and round. Wheeeeee!
LIES!!!!
Did he expect her to eat her own children for breakfast or what?
I hope she’s a good mother, otherwise the adoption procedures are quite useless if they allow a bad person to adopt.
And by the way, every mother who has the luck to get the help of 3-4-6-whatever nannies and works three months a year has more chances to be a good parent than a normal woman who works 5 days a week and has very few quality time to spend with her own kids. And no, it’s not a matter of needing to be praised for our normal hard lives, it’s a matter of fact and logic.
So I’m not impressed by her shockingly good motherhood, neither I’m shocked by the skills of every other mother who gets the help of nannies.
Anyway, I’m far more interested in his skin tone. Why is he morphing into an oompa loompa? Is it safe for his kids to have a father whose skin is orange?
Reading the reactionary commentary of AJ-stans’ is as entertaining as it is creepy. I understand standing up for someone but in your comments, you people get so emotional and defensive, it’s like a close family friend of yours had been insulted (even when there’s no insult).
News flash! You stans have just as much factual, inside information into the personal lives of AJ and her brood as the so-called haters (i.e., people who don’t worship AJ). You can’t call them out for, for example, making statements about the lack of time AJ/BP spend with their children, when you don’t even know how much time they spend with their children. Given their careers, lifestyles, and hobbies, it’s not unreasonable, blind-hatred, or jealousy to speculate that they spend less time with their children than an average parent. Stop getting your panties in a bunch.
Moving around a lot isn’t different than military families.
mln76: @Cheyenne I have a feeling someone is actually there with a stopwatch and counting
===========================================
Honest to God, I think a few people posting on here have these little Angelina dolls that they spend every free moment sticking pins into.
Eh. I think “shockingly” was dramatic license.
What? Dramatic license from an actor? Can such a thing happen? [/sarcasm]
@cheyenne—-honestly, I think we ALL have better things to do, and much more pressing issues!
The “story” mln76, is that these kids are routinely shipped around the world and you can’t tell me that isn’t damaging.
As far as me believing what ‘In Touch’ says, gee I’m just crushed. Do you know the reason for their tantrums? Please enlighten but only if YOU have the definitive answer since we are, you know, speculating here? As is usually the case with gossip threads.
And the post comparing these kids with military families is ludicrous since I’ve yet to see swarms of paparazzi following those families around. Maybe they should, then people would have more respect for them than grown-ups playing make-believe for a living and raking in lunatic amounts of money for it.
But that’s my opinion 😉
@devilgirl – Not sure who said something about your comment being a backhanded compliment, but when I made a comment about backhanded compliments, I was referring to what Johnny Depp said, not you. It’s as if he expected her to be shooting up heroin with a baby on her hip, and carving up the twins for dinner or something. That’s how I read it, anyway.
@123isme uhm no one (except for the banned troll and someone who hates Jolie) has stated they know how much time she spends w/ her kids. Her co-star stated what he saw while working w/her and that has caused some nastiest comments I’ve seen on the board period including one hinting Jolie should have her kids taken away from her because they travel alot. If calling out that poster as being hateful makes me a ‘stan’ oh well.
Got to love the hypocricy. The haters bash fans for thinking Angelina is a good mother saying they don’t know. Yet the haters go on to say she is a horrible mother when they don’t have any knowledge about her mothering either. I really don’t know why they desperately want her to be bad. Considering that kids are involved people are pure evil to desperately hope for that. Why would you wish for anybody to have Charlie Sheen or Christina Aguilera as a parent just because you have psycho rage against somebody.
My dog knows what kind of mother AJ is, but the dog’s not talkin’.
@Bill Hick: You totally missed the point. You can’t believe anything ITW says about anyone. So if ITW say the kids are throwing tantrums, they might as well say moon is made of green cheese. Of course there are some people who might believe that.
@JaneShirley and kc: Kids in military and diplomatic families get moved around a lot, but the trolls never mention that; it’s only damaging to Brad and Angie’s kids. Go figure.
Sure none of us know her personally but it doesnt take a brain surgeon to see her dragging those kids all over the world, moving them constantly, providing very little stability, not settling them so they can make attachments to friends, a school, a neighborhood, etc and being raised primarily by nannies.
No one can spend quality time with 6 kids when they are off in other countries and filming movies majority of the year. Its simple math people.
I just cant call someone a shockingly good mother who moves her kids around constantly, provides them with very little stability, takes them to countries young children are in danger when they visit and leaves them in hands of nannies majority of the time.
She is a great humanitarian but a shockingly great mother – no. Not saying she is a horrendous mother either but shockingly great is total overkill on Depps part.
@Kim: And of course you know to the nanosecond exactly how much time she spends with her kids every month… never mind.
(S m d h)
I hope everyone who calls AJ a bad or even not that good a mother for moving her kids around all the time realizes that they’re also badmouthing thousands of military families who also move around constantly.
Way to go folks for calling our brave men and women who fight for your freedom to gossip bad parents…
Wow tfirst off she spent all of four months working last year and Brad their father was with them while she was shooting.Btw Julia Roberts pulled her kids out of school so she could shoot in India, Italy,and Bali respectively.Should her three kids be taken away also? I am pretty sure all celebs and many elites travel as much as the Jolie-Pitts they just don’t live under the same scrutiny. If you have proof of some horrible deed committed by all means fire away. Also what’s hilarious is that since the end of her promotion for the Tourist she’s barely been seen this year. Besides a 2 day trip abroad it’s safe to assume she’s been at home with her family (conjecture of I admit but not that crazy). And what set off all the hatred was a compliment. Really?
mln, Angie’s not SUPPOSED to receive compliments, yanno? She’s supposed to spend the rest of her life being vilified and reviled by every man, woman and child on the planet. Karma, baby, karma. Or whatever.
(I don’t think the Loonifers are capable of comprehending the sarcasm. As I’ve observed before, they aren’t very bright.)
I find it very entertaining the public display of hypocricy of the jen stans feeling oh so concern about the JP kids safety, stability, emotional health.
It’s not like those kids haven’t been submitted for the past 6 years to the most vicious attacks by them without them feeling concern about what those words could ultimately do to those kids.
If there is anyone who has been behaving mostly unsensitive, badly towards those children, if there is anyone who has put the emotional health of these kids in danger, it’s most definitely the rags and the average Jen stan who without any regards have both constantly attack their parents as well as them in the most unhealthy vicious way, taking no responsability whatsoever for the trash they print about them, supporting the likes of Chelsea trashing them in the name of comedies,…things that no adult with with a minimum of morality and decency has a right to do to a child, any child.
Things that these children will ultimately learn more sooner than later. How certain adults spend time to trash them or their mother and then have the nerve to feel concern about them because they travel a lot.
So stop with the fake concern about those children when it suits you. It’s pure hypocricy. The vilest and vicious bile has been written by the Jen stan when it’s about those kids. The nasty athmosphere towards these children is perpetuated by the jen stan and a certain media with no regards for them.
Take responsability of your own words before feeling concern about children you have no problem to trash directly or indirectly.
You jut can’t participate, agree to the constant bashing of their parents, of themsevles and then scream : I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THEM, poor kids.
It’s pure hypocricy and just show your hidden agenda and true colors. You just don’t care for them, otherwise you wouldn’t particiapte in bashing them in the first place and will be more balanced in bashing their parents too knowing that it has an effect on them.
You just easily and quickly take any opportunity to use them as a way to bash their mother.
That’s all and that’s exactly how it has been going on for years when it’s about the JP kids who are not treated whatsoever like any other kids, celebrity ones included but rather like fair targets. They are used and have been used and abused even when they were still foetus in their mother’s womb as punching balls to target their mother through them with no regards whatsoever for them as young human beings.
Talk about feeling oh so concern about them…NOT
@Rubenesque – omg I totally understand your 3 year old. If I didn’t have to look mature because of my age, I would be throwing myself a tantrum at the grocery stores after they all conveniently pulled my major meal staple being danino banana flavor yogurt drink. Every other freaking yogurt company has to always add strawberry to any banana flavored yogurt. I’m still pissed and this was several months ago. I just want only banana flavor in my yogurt seriously.
Anyway, I feel a bit silly now but the tabloid stories about this couple are always stupid. I noticed in the grocery line today that one of them had another: Angelina screamed at Brad: Get out of this house, or some similar recycled raging Angelina headline to that. I mean really, it’s stopped being interesting 5 years ago already. I wish they would’ve pulled these stupid tabloids instead of my favorite yogurt flavored drink.
All this hate because someone called her a good mother, and so what if she has help that doesn’t atomically make anyone a good parent Charlie Sheen has help is he a good dad, Christina Aguilera has help is she a good mother right now, Courtney Love had help is she a good mom, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had help they are good parents Billy ray Cyrus and Tish had help they are good parents no that just means they can afforded to make their lives easier.
Kim@ so I guess instead of keeping their family together Brad or Angelina should go shot movie for 3 to 4 months or longer away from their fanily and their kids only seeing mommy or daddy for a couple weeks at a time would be better because it work so well for Michael Douglas. He blames being away from his oldest son Cameron so much while he was growing-up do to filming as one of the causes for Cameron drug problem; their good and bad to both they can only do what they feel is best for their family just like anyone else.
I meant to say “atomically make anyone a good or bad parent.”
someone- You know, I’m pretty sure on the last few Aniston threads you’ve complained about all the haters and said that they need to get a life. Yet you come every Angelina/Brad Pitt post and “hate” on them.
You are more than entitled to your opinion on Angelina/Brad Pitt and to be a fan of Aniston, I just wanted to point out your hypocrisy. It’s kind of amusing.
That is all.
@devilgirl: I think the poster was referring to Depp’s comment that Jolie is a ‘shockingly great mother’ when they were talking about a backhanded compliment.
Personally I’m sick of people making pronouncements about other people’s parenting and I’m sick at the over reactions of the usual suspects here (stop watch comments, etc).
/rant
@Kaiser: “Talk about burying the lead – Shiloh’s boyfriend is named PIERRE?!? I bet Shiloh beats him with her cardboard sword.” Genius. 🙂
News flash: everyone had/has a mother and “Angie” is not particularly special for being one.
OMG. A simple random comment from Depp about Jolie’s mothering skills generates THIS?????
*shakes head*
Oh Tapioca! I heart thee. What a great mental picture. And whoever posted about their child throwing a fit over banana pudding: loving it!
@Cheyenne: Kim never actually SAID that she KNEW how many seconds Jolie spends with her children per day. She pointed out the fact, like other jealous h8ters on here, that with their movie schedules and promotions and commercials and voiceovers and flights and UN missions and directing projects….there is a likelihood of less time spent with each of the six children than might be seen in a regular home. That is all. Try to get a grip. Actually….don’t. You’re much more fun when you’re acting like Jolie’s manager/girl-scout/fairy god-mother.
@Louise: I fail to see how your pointing out that many celebrities drag their children around the globe makes this particular celebrity dragging her children around the globe any less….”drag-full” of her children around the globe. Circular argument. And yes, it’s been proven that children in military families tend to suffer overall as well. It’s not in every case, but kids do better when they’re in one place for a majority of the time.
@JaneShirley: Where are the Aniston fans? Seriously? You’re the only one to bring her up on this thread.
I love Angelina posts for this very reason. Think of how much money someone would make if they came up with a video game of her life! You could score points whenever you whip Brad, or highest points to whoever could come up with 9 million original all-black outfits in 1 year, or whatever. There could even be a Jen character that comes over to the Jolie-Pitt residence on occasion to cry and dig through their trash cans…and perhaps you could score points for throwing virtual margaritas on her…you know, send her back to Mexico, where all the lowly people vacation. Just kiddin’, JaneShirley! Hahahaha! Just kiddin’.
The haters just can’t handle that one of Angelina’s peers has something nice to say about her.
Hi Kaiser. :d 😀 smirks.
Oh, dear…*sigh*
OMG. A simple random comment from Depp about Jolie’s mothering skills generates THIS?????
@ WhiteNoise:
Yup. Anything that anyone says about Angelina Jolie will generate a controversy.
what happened to her face?
As a long time Brad fan who never was a fan of any of the women Brad ever got together with, i’m pretty cool with Angie. i wasn’t at first but i think it’s safe to say she’s proved her mettle as far as i’m concerned.
@p95; i believe she’s gained some weight in her face. If you’ve ever seen pics of her at 14 years and below, it’s obvious she had a chubby face much like Shiloh’s now. When she gains weight in her face, her nose gets broader and vice versa. The extra fat makes all the difference. she has stated, on the record, that she’s never gotten any work done on her face.
@Eve; Co-sign. “Anything NICE that anyone says about Angelina Jolie will generate a controversy.”
@ Bohemia:
I really meant anything. Because if anyone said anything bad about her, it’d also generate a controversy — many would jump to agree with this or that person FINALLY telling the truth about the evil succubus that she is and some fans would try to counterargument. Of course, the nice things said about her make certain people uncomfortable or even angry, because they’ll never admit she can actually be a nice human being.
I just don’t get it sometimes because even though there are people I truly hate, I still don’t feel like commenting on every little thing that is posted about them. Heck, I don’t even comment of every post about those who I like…
@nnn: Chica, that was absolutely classic — but the Jenhens will read that and think “Who me? No way! I’m not like that!”
@Kim (and newbie as well): “Off in other countries filming the majority of the year”? Brad and Angie take at least six months off between films and often much longer. And when one goes overseas to make a movie, the whole family goes with them.
Personally, i think Aniston is lazy.
…and i’m speaking as a Brad lunatic…
Any other woman would’ve had, at least, one kid with Brad Pitt in 7 years together.
I don’t dislike Ang and I luv her fans but time will tell what kind of Mom she is….
@Eve; You said.
I’ve read somewhere that not the total amount of time one spends with his kids counts but the “quality” time. I can only agree. Living currently in Germany I’ve got to know many and I mean MANY mothers, who are proud to stay at home and “take care” for their kids when they actually place the poor ones in front of the TV for hours, feed them ready-made trash and seldom cook, rarely take care to put them in bed on time and generally try to live a life of a single. If you listen to them they “sacrifice” even when they have an au-pair.Plenty of people here get extra help even with 9-17 jobs and noone calls them bad parents probably because they are anonimous. I personally will leave AJ alone.
Aren’t those kids used to moving around by now? I know the army brat syndrome, but this is pretty posh army brat style.
Well I’m sure she spends more time with her kids than I do since I work 11 1/2 months a year. My kids can’t visit me at work nor can they join me on business trips. Angie is blessed to only work 4-5 months a year and she has stated that in many interviews.Their kids are fortunate to be able to travel and meet people from many cultures IMO.
@Eve; I meant to say; Yup, you said it.
@Triflesec: yup, and all the whining on here about how everyone else has/is/was a ‘good mother’ and AJ has ‘help’, just goes to show how many mothers out there wish people would NOT give them nice compliments about how well they’re doing at their duties and knowing also, how much of a better job they’d do with their kids if they had more ‘help’. Basically, you don’t think; we should ‘state the obvious’. Kinda like how no one should tell you how pretty your dress is ‘cos you already KNOW it’s a very pretty dress :). it’s all good. Compliments should be abolished.
I have read as many interviews about her as I can..and in hearing from the people that have met, know or worked with her I have NEVER EVER heard a negative comment or story. In fact the people that have met her have gone on and on about what a nice person she is. People that have worked with her have only been positive.. the negative comes from Tabloid stories and blogs.. I have yet to see an actual story from a LIVE person and not an “unnamed source” that has a negative story about her. EVER.
so I for one judge on actual accounts of real stories. NOT the gossip tabloids or blogs that for the most part have an agenda in painting her as something that by all accounts she is not.
Kids don’t need to be rooted to the one place like a tree for so-called “stability”. That is a fallacy. As long as they are together as a family unit with their parents, home is where they are. Quite frankly, I truly believe those that go on about them “not having stability” and “being dragged around the world”, are clearly very jealous of their lifestyle. Lets face it; who amongst us wouldn’t love to have lived that lifestyle as kids? I doubt anyone would truly say no and mean it.
