The tabloids are full of random stories about Brangelina this week, as is the case nearly every week. OK! Magazine claims that Brad and Angelina had a “26 day fight” – mostly because it was 26 days between photos of Brad and Angelina together. OK!’s sources says that in private, The Brange are “at each other’s throats” but it’s all cool because they know how to make up, probably because of all of the whips and handcuffs and such. The insider claims, “After their epic fights, they are usually in bed for a solid 24 hours.” Ew. Star Magazine also has a story about Brad and Angelina fighting… over when to adopt! In a refreshing change of pace, in this story, it’s BRAD who wants another kid and Angelina is the one saying no. Brad wants another little African girl. Probably because the Empress demands it. Meanwhile, Us Weekly’s story about The Fightin’ Brangelinas is kind of blah – according to them, they’re fighting because Angelina is super-bored:
So much for “jolly” ole England! A source tells Hot Stuff Angelina Jolie is so unhappy with Brad Pitt’s endless days shooting World War Z in the UK that she’s considering leaving the country until he finishes the film.
“She’s not pleased being at home while he’s on set,” says the source. “These are the longest hours he’s spent on a set in a while, so it’s just her and the kids with not much to do.”
And now comes Jolie’s chance to jet: On July 31, Pitt moved from the sleepy London suburb of Richmond to tiny Falmouth, England (pop: 22,000). It remains to be seen whether she will join him – or call it a wrap!
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
Once again, it’s an interesting change of pace. Usually the “Brangelina fight because of work schedules” stories appear only when Angelina’s got a job, not Brad. Yay for wanting your man to stay barefoot and pregnant at home!
Last Brangelina story, and it comes from In Touch, who still have a hate-on for Angelina.
According to a new report, Angelina doesn’t really pay attention to her brood, ignores Shiloh the most and lets the nannies do all the work!
Angelina Jolie portrays herself as a woman who can do it all — be an award-winning actress, humanitarian, loving partner to Brad Pitt and amazing mother to their children, Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. So how does she manage everything? Well, according to In Touch, she uses nannies and hardly ever parents her kids!
“She’s preoccupied; she doesn’t have a lot of time for them,” an insider tells In Touch. She’s doting in public” but “cold, impatient and less than affectionate” with her kids behind closed doors.
The magazine even describes her as an “ice-queen” mom! And of all the kids — Shiloh gets the least amount of attention.
“During a game of war with her brothers, Shiloh fell down and got bruised,” the insider explains, adding that Angelina didn’t do anything about it! “She let a nanny handle it.”
“Her parenting just isn’t as warm and fuzzy as Brad’s,” another source reveals.
But Angelina works hard to make sure people think she’s a wonderful mother, so when she knows that photographers are about, she will walk in front, holding her kids’ hands, and make the nannies walk in the back or “stay hidden.” Also, an “insider” claims that being a Jolie-Pitt nanny as “great pay, long hours and complete chaos.”
“She spends her life trying to prove that she can give her family everything she missed out on as a child,” an insider says.
[From Jezebel and Holly Baby]
Eh. If anything, I suspect that Angelina is the “bad cop” parent and Brad is the softie, the one who doesn’t dole out punishment. Angelina seems like the enforcer, and she seems more organized about everything. Considering all of their traveling and crazy schedules, I’ve actually begun to suspect that Angelina is a little OCD to keep track of everything. So… yeah, I don’t think she’s some cold, distant, ice-queen mom. I think she’s just doing the best she can.
Here’s Brad looking so lonely on the set of World War Z:

“After their epic fights, they are usually in bed for a solid 24 hours.”
I highly doubt that. And if it’s true, please reveal to parents with 6 children worldwide how they manage to do it.
I still can’t get over her ‘no jeans for me’ rule. I mean, as a mom of 4, I try and keep my appearance together, but how does she run after 6 kids dressed like she is going to an accounting convention? ALL THE TIME? Or do the nannies do all of the crawling around on the floor after the kids – stuff?
I think it’s only fair to mention that the main source for the In Touch story was Angelina’s nanny not her kids yeah that’s right Angelina’s nanny back when she was a kid claims to know all about how Angelina raises her kids now eventhough she hasn’t seen her in 30 odd years. So uhm it’s so obviously b.s.
My favorite story buried amoungst the tabs was the Life & Style one about Angelina actually buying Shiloh a dress.
It never ceases to amaze me that made up shizz about this family always sells more than actual gossip. Bosworth isn’t going to sell any covers of Star unless her and Martin actually copulate on stage.
LadyJane: don’t you know? The super mom doesn’t need nannies. She handles everything alone.
Is ti still fan? To comment on these crazy repetitive stories?
They’ve beaten this horse to death and can’t even find a new angle anymore.
Such an awfull parents, yet their kids by all accounts and appearances are perfectly normal polite kids. They fight all the time, yet 7 years after they don’t seem any closer to breaking up. She’s loosing like 10 pounds every other week but still looks the same, “thinniest ever”, she was 7 years ago 😀
I don’t recall seeing a picture of at home with her children. I think she has a uniform she wears out and about.
It just makes me shake my head that the tabloids have some sick addition to this couple. They are not doing anything different than other yet every single week there is some story from “sources”
Yet these sources never know where they are going or when or what they did for this or that.
She has nannies so what. So do most celebrities. And believe it or not so do people who are not.
LadyJane: Well this is the same woman who wear fu**ed up (in my op) heels to the park, so im guessing shes used to chase her kids around in those kind of clothes and heels.
I could never do that, hell i cant even walk in her kind of shoes…
Angie’s already discussed the who’s-the-disciplinarian business several times. Brad lays down the law with the boys, and she is the disciplinarian with the girls. They found out early that Miss Thang (Lady Z) could get whatever she wanted from Brad simply by batting her eyelashes at him.
LadyJane, I doubt she dressed like this at home. Brad seems to be quite happy with her this past weekend. There were pictures of them on the red carpet rubbing each other back and always reaching for each other. More garbage written to sell weekly papers.
Funny thing, the story of the nannies fits with what my aunt (who knows the family well) says. She says the nannies are NOT allowed to be photographed with the kids, but are always in the background. As soon as they are not in public, the nannies (one per kid) take over.
Yeah, how to explain four children under six politely holding hands, waiting in line, smiling and staying calm amidst the insanity of photogs and regular folks taking their pictures. Brad still looks at her like he wants her for lunch and probably got it and she constantly smiles and rubs his back. If they have been faking it that long, then they should both have multiple Oscars.
Also, wasn’t it OK that had them blissfully happy and getting married a couple of weeks ago? Don’t tabloid writers and editors read their own stories? I guess the INtouches of the world don’t want to jump on the JLo train so Angelina the horrible mommy story gets rehashed, which most stories about this couple are anyway.
Why all the handwringing here about the terrible tabloids printing negative stories about Affleck, but not about this couple? Their children can read too. Both should be left alone.
@mal
lol….seriously.. we see pictures of the nannies all the time. Maybe you should sell that to the tabloids. They are known to purchase lies..
and I guess you didn’t actually read the article. The “nanny” is not an employee of the JPs. But a babysitter that supposedly watched Angelina as a child. She has not seen Angie since she was a teen. I hardly think Angie needed a sitter at that time.
Nah. I believe us weekly. Angelina probably wants to leave him and go do her own thing. Maybe she wants to eat. I don’t think he would be too happy if she gained weight. Lainey gossip once said brad = control freak and I believe that because Angelina looks miserable most of the time. I think it might be good for her health to leave him and go get healthy. Brad is an uglier wrinklier Eddie cibrian.
Do I think Angie is bored. Ya. She cannot sit still for very long. Do I think that they will break up and and things are bad. No they are like the Beckhams. They need the Brand = it is a machine. Do I think they were as happy as they once were. No. As for the touching on the red carpet. That is I believe an act. You don’t see them doing that in candids. Every move on the carpet is the same every time they walk it. Do I believe that nannies look after the children mostly – yes. I don’t think that Angie actually plays. It most be hard though when you only wear dress clothes. I say put on some jeans, shoes you can actually move in, cut your hair and go down to the park and run around – not just the toy store all the time. And for those of you who believe she does this. Try again.
lol at haters,my aunt knows them well,what a load of lies
I cant wait for those kids to grow up and dictate their life’s stories to someone to publish as a book since it seems none of the kids ever attend school. That should be interesting reading.
Duck-lips-trampie-angie needs to wash, brush and cut that nasty hair.
@You don’t say: Well said.
They are fine. More lies from the tabs.
How can she be that skinny and still have boobs?!
Gotta agree with ladybert62. Ange should cut the hair.
@Mal, seriously, do you believe that anyone believe you that your aunt knows the family well, you are delusional. Nannies are seen with the family all the time. Their pictures are taken to sell, that’s how some people makes their living. Taking the nannies pictures does not pays the rent, Brad and Angie pays the rent and car notes too.
Every Hwood actress does the ‘Super Mom’ routine; nannies are almost always cropped out of pics unless there’s just no way to avoid it.
But I can’t quite believe the Pitt-Jolie brood are mere ‘props.’ Jolie has always been very extreme & very public, but she’s channeling it now in ways that for the most part are very positive.
And that interview excerpt you ran a while back—in which she described the kids’ personality traits, how they live together etc—sounded intensely loving. There wasn’t a bit of the standard ‘Star’ interview fakery: self-help memes, cliche phrases, generalizations…ie the reason I read excerpts of the stuff or skip it altogether.
AJ has acquired some powerful PR skills to efface her past indiscretions & is a LOT more guarded now, but can’t see her doing a 180 turn & selling an entire sham lifestyle. But yeah; bet she’s proud of her family, likes being seen as a Mother, & when striding thru an airport with the full pack hand-in-hand, is trying to send a political message as well 😉
Are people bitching over the fact that she has nannies? Unless you are a stay-at-home mom, most of us have either a nanny (if you can afford it) or most likely use daycare. I don’t get what the big deal is.
I have to laugh at all the people attacking her because she doesn’t wear jeans. As if that’s actually proof of how much she cares for her kids. It’s just more jealousy and judgement from the gallery because it’s always OK to attack Angie and her family.
They did look genuinely happy in Sarajevo and Brad had to work in the UK the next day. If he was miserable/they were fighting he could easily have skipped the event. You honestly can’t fake their kind of affection-just take a look at the awkward pics of Brad at the end of his marraige they both looked miserable.
@i.want.shoes. ITA all families have some form of childcare. Richer women have better childcare just like they have more expensive cars, homes, and jewelry.
The talking “nanny” who is really a babysitter who part time looked after Angelina when she was a baby, like a year and a half old baby. The very same “nanny” who wants to write a book after talking to Morton for his nonsense of a book. The “nanny” who has never met Angelina’s kids cause she has not seen Angelina for many many years.
And no Mal your invisible nonexistent aunt who allegedly knows the family is but a delusional person’s lie cause the nannies are often in pics but the pap agencies cut them out when selling the photos. And it is the same nannies, like the one with Angelina and the kids at the London Aquarium who was also seen with them in LA and Hungary and Malta, and need I go on. LOL Silly silly Mal.
@ladybert62, the kids are homeschooled by trained teachers like many kids are. Brad restated that fact in his most recent interview 3 months ago. And I don’t know where you live but schools are on summer vacation where I live. Such silliness in an alleged educated adult, LOL.
Angelina, Brad, and their kids are tabs bread and butter. Fox News just had article about that, how their pap pics fetch the highest prices.
Why does she need to cut her hair exactly and wear jeans? Will that make her a better mother. Their activities are children’s activities and how do you know they don’t go to parks–they live in a gated neighborhood. Yes, there are nannies (I work for a living and have friends with nannies and all celebrities have them, even Ms. Garner), so what is the point. Tabloids have completely run out of stories on this couple. Every one of them is a repeat or slight variation of others that have already been printed.
The tabloids have fresh meat in Lopez, Clooney, DeCaprio, etc., but can’t let go of the “Jolie-Pitt Crack” they are addicted to.
Empress Z (at us all): Foolish mortals. Dance puppets, dance…
**maniacally rubbing her powerful little hands together**
@Bored, if Angie wanted to leave Brad she would leave him. IMO , Angie is a strong woman to put up with this constant hate filled gossip for 6 years. @Pity, keep writing your fiction, pity you that’s right. Go put on your jeans and leave Brad and Angie alone. @ladybert, I bet Angie is cleaner than you are. Her kids are well taken care of. Also, Angie always say she is very lucky to have a job that she can take several months off and able to afford to have help with her children.
wow, you people are just nasty! all i did was offer an opinion that is different from yours. and yes, my aunt does know them well, she was friends with angie’s parent]s (still is with john voight), my cousins were raised playing with angie and james, and she gives me a lot of inside info on what goes on in hollywood. get over yourselves.
I love how people get all high and mighty and say we shouldn’t be bitchy about celebrities. Hello. Check the name in your browser there. It isn’t celebnicey. If you don’t relish a good bitch, then go the the numerous fan sites available, where you can no doubt post with other happy, secure and non bitchy, skinny-skinny people with perfect lives. Because everyone here is obviously the opposite of that.
agree with # 25.. she would leave if she wanted to.. she has the resources to go whereever whenever she wants. She probably gets bored, but she’s been smiling ALOT lately.. don’t think she’s unhappy … AT ALL
@Mal – I totally believe you. Some people don’t believe that celebrities actually breathe in the same plane of existence as real people. They can’t imagine some civilian (no offense) actually KNOWING them.
thanks @LadyJane! And I totally agree with your previous comment – love it!! we’re hear to bitch about them, that’s half the fun, if not all of it.
@Mal I have no idea whether or not you are telling the truth. That doesn’t mean you should be attacked. I honestly don’t think what you said was that bad just one person’s opinion(I disagree but whatever). On the other hand you should realize that if you put something like that out there about this woman in particular about whom a lot of false information is put out with malicious intent that people are going to have a strong reaction-especially since she has a rather large fan base of ‘Brangeloonies'(of which I am a proud member) willing to defend her.
I’m sure Angie is fully capable of filling her days with meaningful activities. Same rubbish to titillate the gullible. Do these stories still sell?
you’re right, @min76 – i guess i was just a bit surprised. no one has to believe me, i don’t really care, nor does it change my life. i just didn’t expect the reaction. sorry!! new to posting – i don’t usually have anything of value to offer, so i just read the posts and comments.
“After their epic fights, they are usually in bed for a solid 24 hours.”
Ew is right.
I don’t believe mal’s story. If someone told me a story about a celebrity i wont run and post it on a gossip site just to get some attention. JMO
@ Mrs. Jolie:
There are now refugees in Africa.
There are people with hunger in Africa.
Where are they?
Oh yes, there is not to promote a movie:
April / May: Tree of Life / Kung Fu Panda 2
Yes, because they were on Lampedusa, media attention.
And now?
You, Mrs. Jolie, are a liar!
@Mal
Weird. *My aunt* says it’s all okay between Brad and Angie.

Hear, hear! I also blame her for the current state of the US economy! And the extinction of the Australian wolf.
@Mal, now you are saying your aunt know John Voight when Angie and James were children. “my cousins were raised playing with angle and James “. So explain how you know what her life is now, also, I doubt John Voight knows what goes on in their house. Stop spreading lies on the two these people. Take care of your own family and life.
Well I see the nannies all the time in pics at the bowling alley in Malta, in the aquaruim pics, the pics of them leaving movies,at LAX with the older girls etc. As a matter of fact she was criticized last week for having nannies, assistants and bodyguards help her with the kids.The tabloid writers are clueless.@Mal please ask your aunt why there are dozens of pics of the nannies helping AJ in the last 2 weeks alone if AJ is hiding them? Also since your aunt knows them so well.She should if Jon Voight is attending Maddox’s 10th bday party or for that matter when is the last time he saw his grandkids, right. I’ll check back for some “insider” info.Thanks in advance.It will be refreshing to get “insider” info before the fact rather than after the fact for a change.I see none of the tabloids knew AJ and Brad were going to be in Bosnia although the trip was planned 6 months ago. I guess their insiders/sources/pals forget to tell them.@Max there have been refugees and hungry people in Africa for years . What’s your point? Angie has been on over 40 field missions since 2001 per UNHCR website.Are you implying that every trip she took was to promote a film? GMAFB. Since you are so concerned about starving Africans I’m sure you have donated money to help them before you clicked on a gossip website.
@rena, nice post 🙂
@mal: I agree with what mln76 said, there are SO many people who print absolute fabrications (like LadyBert62 who says the kids don’t attend school) with no other intent but to tear this family down, that you must forgive people for being a little dubious about your aunt’s intimate relationship with the Voight’s. If you have link to a pic, that would sure shut people up 🙂
It’s one thing to rag on a star because they don’t wear jeans or whatever and quite another thing to call someone a cruel mother.
There is so much evidence that shows she’s a great and caring mother and the evidence against that is from an invisible “insider.”
Also, I think people would LOVE it if she wore “mom jeans” and got a “mom haircut” she’d be far less threatening that way, eh?
Sidenote: I have no idea where this “they lie about having no nannies” BS comes from. They’ve both stated repeatedly that their kids have tutors in languages that they don’t know themselves, so that’s at least a few people, plus there must be someone to stay with the bunch when they’re out together.
I think some people purposefully misinterpret the Pitts saying that they’re “hands on” only to bash them. To me it’s obvious that they’re “hands on” when they can.
Btw. they probably work fewer hours weekly than an average parenting couple hired by any big corporation (which would be 8-9 hours daily, 5 days a week, almost the whole year round) and who get to see their kids in the evenings and on weekends. The Pitts surely are more engaged parents and more “hands on” than half of the people I work with.
??
I live in jeans and boots,sometimes I would like to wear a damn frilly dress.Max** Get your *ss to Africa,and show us how to save some refugees(Max style).I’ll be waiting to see it on CNN.Thank high five to Heaven,your here to save the world.
Poor Shiloh is being ignored yet in most photos she always seem to be the happiest kid of the bunch.
I dont believe for one second Angelina is a bad mother.
I’m rooting for Brad and Angie. They seem to have a real love for eachother and a real life with eachother.
The fact that this is so polarizing is very funny.
Wow, after SEVEN YEARS and endless tabloid stories people still believe the crap that is printed about them? Even the tabloids can’t agree on a story and stick to it! Frankly it says more about the people that lap up stories like this than it does Brad and Angelina.

——————————-
LadyBert knows full well all the schools these kids have attended as well as the tutors they have in various subjects. She’s all over this couple at various Angie-Hate sites. Can’t you tell by her last comment? I wish I had -smell-a-vision on my computer like her.
These kids are receiving a first rate education. That rarely is available at the local elementary school.
🙄 @ these trashy nasty tabloid stories. Can’t they give it a rest and pick on some different celebs.
@mln76 #22: Excellent comment. ITA with you.
@John Wayne Lives: Ditto 🙂 .
@max . Angelina has consistently devoted a lot of time and money to her refugee work over a decade. Why begrudge her spending time with her kids when she just went on a mission last GD month? It’s getting more and more ridiculous but that’s how the crazed haters work. When she’s with her family then it’s a photo-op or she doesn’t care about humanitarianism. When she’s on a mission it’s fake and how dare she leave her children. When she’s working she’s both a terrible mother for leaving her kids and not really a humanitarian. And round and round it goes.
Could someone please remind me why so many people still care sooooooo much about these two and their lives? Neither has ever been a particularly great actor–both have mostly been sex symbols. Which, fine, but whatever. And how many years has it been since they got together? Whatever the circumstances, here they are. Still together. Maybe they secretly hate each other and are staying together to maintain their image/brand. (I’d buy that). Or maybe they’re madly hot for each other and tumble into bed every day (not buying it, since that resembles absolutely NO longterm marriage/relationship I’ve ever heard about). I guess I just find them boring. I like hearing about it when they’re promoting a particular project or talking about a specific charity. Otherwise I just don’t get this day to day obsession.
ETA: Ok, that came off much b!tchier than I intended. I suppose my point is that the obsession with their daily lives appears to be over the top in its relentless, unending focus. Are they truly so interesting that they merit that? Really?

@LadyJane BRAVO! -applauds you- You really are laying the smackdown today, and thank goodness! It needs to be said 🙂 These celebrities aren’t exactly paying our salaries for cryin’ out loud lol
@Calli Pygian, ITA!! It’s always WW3 in here when there’s an Angie post LOL.
So according to all these comments, Angie is Supermom incarnate and does almost everything herself while always looking fabulous in thousand dollar pencil skirts and heels, or she is a grotty, bored, homewrecking hypocrite who is evil incarnate. LOL.
Why can’t she be somewhere in the middle and be HUMAN like the rest of us are? I have a feeling the nannies do a lot more than she gives them credit for, but she loves her family and she makes sure her children are taken care of and she gets involved as much as a she can.
Oh Cheyenne you are always so well informed. You must get this solid information straight from the gerbils, right? ( joke).
She’s a working mom with six kids. She has nannies. So effing what?
@heavenbound: C’mon, hon, you can do better than that. Put a little more effort into it. It’s not all that hard.
OMG! Call the super mommy police. There are photos with G Steffani with one child and TWO nannies. Where is the hysteria over that.
I do agree that this couple is “dull”. All they really do is make movies, have personal and family time and do humanitarian stuff. They also disappear for months at a time when not working. Their actual behavior is not “tabloid”–no public fights, no drunken escapades, no trashing of exes, no kids having meltdowns, no colleagues,at least with names, bad mouthing them–only sources with no names do that.
They get criticized for having long hair and not wearing jeans or not shaving or not dressing their kids in designer wear. Pretty silly if you ask me, but it makes other people happy to do it, just don’t think the couple gives a flying fig, since neither of them have publicists, unlike others who do and work hard for their money having certain magazines/blogs on speed dial or reading blogs/tabloids and knocking down rumors before the print is dry (of course who knows if they created the rumor in the first place).
@lindy they are boring yet you comment about them,hmmm yeah right as if they vaccation in the same spot every year or eat the same salad for 10 years
people who know them and meet them always have good things to say about them not some aunt in dreamland,this is from a reporter.poor tabloids nobody sells more mag than bashing them
She (Angie) was completely focused, looking at my eyes. Although there was screaming, squeak, roar around us – she was answering the questions, she was smiling, she was beautiful.
Pitt`s arm around her waist, nodding, thanking. They are cozy, they are normal and they love each other. They were exactly as I believed they are – happy – and my heart is full.
After Sarajavo, I totally believe that love conquers everything if hearts
this is the last line and is so true
I totally believe that love conquers everything if hearts are pure.”
@gossip lover–look, I’m not a Brangeloonie, nor am I a hater. All I’m suggesting is that the constant “info” released about them is total overkill. I want to read about them when they have something interesting/important to say about a charitable cause they are promoting, or an entertainment-related project they are working on. I do not want to get ten stories a day on the kids (partly b/c I feel like kids should be mostly off limits), on what real estate they are considering buying, how much they fight/have sex/hate each other/love each other, and on and on and on. Overexposure to the max. No doubt they lead glam lives and have much more interesting things going on than the rest of us plebs. And I admit it’s fun to read about luxury vacations and that kind of thing–to a point. But when it’s multiple stories a day in every tabloid–that’s too much. Thanks, can we talk about some other celebs for once?
NB: Kaiser (and CB) this is not intended as some kind of indictment or an attack. I know y’all cover what comes down the pipeline. I’m just kind of wondering what makes the Brange-fans tick, I guess. Whence the voracious appetite for all-Brange all the time?
Lindy: the constant “info” released about them is total overkill.
==============================================
I couldn’t agree more. But as long as it sells the tabloids, you can expect to see more of it.
Whenever it’s a slow celeb news week, the tabs regurgitate some stale Brangelina rumor and sales instantly pick up.
Actually, Brad seems to get off work DURING daylight hours based on photos. And how do you think Angie spends ALL her time?
She has 24 hrs like rest of us, except hers don’t seem to include partying, clubbing and constant socializing with “FRIENDS” (my own funny), so that leaves unaccounted for time that “oh my goodness” could be with her kids and her nannies. Shame on her for having her business in order.
When exactly was the last time she worked on her job. Seems LV paid her to take 4 kids with her, Her directorial movie, Tourist, KFP2, Salt and Wanted all had her entire family with her for filming and promos, so why does she have to be supermom? She is just mom who says she wears PJ’s at home.
They were at the SFF for only a few hours to get back to their kids. So, she not only does not work many hours, she does not work many days, when she IS working.
All this time she has, could be spent with her kids and Brad, but maybe that’s where the issue is. To think they are STILL not into each other is gross. Why would’nt they be? She is probably at her sexual peak and he benefits from that gladly unless you believe the other partners, flirting, cheating crap. They are Sexing someone, why not each other? No one is forcing them to stay together, as there are 3 divorces between them, so they know how to end things. I think they are each others equal and PUT IT ON each other, although BP can’t seem to get enough. He acts like she is gravy that he wants to sop up with a buscuit. Loves it. AJ works/loves her man and her kids and they love her for it.
The UN gets her time too and they love and respect her and so do I. She is proving that you can have it all, and I think her kids will learn valuable lessons because of it. That’s schooling them to have incredible work ethics and still enjoy, live a full life. Seems anything but boring, unless you mean no scandals. Silly me.
The tabloids just can’t leave Angelina and her family alone. They will make up stories or recycle old ones because they know people want to read about this family.
Angelina will wear what she wants, and there are many pictures of her in jeans. She hasn’t cut her hair because, obviously, she wants it long, and it’s HER hair.
Well, Cheyenne this is a pass time, not my long life crusade. Unlike you I put an effort to what really matters in life, and it sure is not the triangle.
Actually, the ‘Angelina is bored while Brad works’ stories are nothing new. I seem to remember that this angle was worked while Brad was filming Inglourious Basterds. Too bad that the tabloids didn’t pick up on the Angelina sightings at lecture halls.
And the marathon bedroom sessions after fights – reusing Ian Halperin’s pantload, but stretching the timetable from 18 hours to 24 hours. Mind you, I can believe the long hours together when they do their private weekends together, like when they checked into the Dorchester a couple of weekends ago.
And finally… to attempt to argue that a babysitter who hasn’t seen hide or hair of their charge in over 20 years have some sort of insight on how he or she would parent… please!
Leave it to In Touch to try, since they tried to convince the world (read: gullible haters) that Angelina sitting on Brad’s lap at a Cannes afterparty was a sign that Brad and Angelina were about to break up. And that was 2 years ago.
Mal: It’s obvious that you are lying because the nannies are photographed all of the time and Brad and Angelina have repeatedly talked about having nannies and tutors. Odd behavior for people who supposedly are desperate to keep the nannies a secret. I also don’t get why the haters are so convinced that Brad and Angelina can’t stand each other. If they hated each other half as much as the haters and tabloids claim they would have broken up years ago. This reminds me of the Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick stories.
@ Max,
Angelina was at Dadaab (in Kenya), the world’s largest refugee settlement, (populated by Somalis fleeing their homeland) in September 2009. It was a dire situation then, and has become even more so due to the continuing drought. She was there when Dadaab wasn’t even a blip on the evening news.

She was in Darfur in 2004 long before Clooney made it his cause celebre.

She was also bringing attention to Congo way before Ben Affleck got involved. While in Congo in 2003 with John Prendergast, she recorded a journal to chronicle what was happening there. You may view it here if you wish: Congo Journal.

I’m not trying to take away from Clooney’s and Affleck’s involvement. The more people that get involved, the better. I am saying it to show she was there long before the crazy media spotlight that currently follows her.
I bet if she went back to the Daadab refugee camp now, you’d be among the first people deriding her for using starving Africans to prop up her so called Mother Teresa image or you’d probably accuse her of trawling for orphans.
She in not some Jenny come lately dilettante. She has been actively involved and engaged for the past 10 years.
@Heavenbound: You took the effort to come on here and speak your piece, though, just like the rest of us.
BTW, it’s “pastime”.
Max, to call Ms. Jolie a LIAR requires a “PUT-UP OR SHUT-UP”, if you want to be taken seriously, so since you DID NOT “PUT-UP” any evidence then, well you know “SHUT-UP”.
Her humanitarian dedication to me is NOT up for debate. She does it, not talk it. Her time, money, energy speak to where her heart is. You can not like her or even respect her, but have the decency to appreciate her work and let her fans respect it and support it.
She does not have to do anything to try and help, so for me, you and anybody else will have to back off that angle.
To sell their movies huh, why did not EVERYBODY think to do it with movies FLOPPING left and right like a fish out of water. Come correct or don’t come at all. She has spent just about ALL her entire adult life trying to help so NO crazy talk will diminish that FACT.
Now, back to what they are NOT fighting about, A part of me wishes one of them would start a fight because that image of 24hrs in bed is smokin. I don’t care which one of them can’t walk the next day, it seems worth it to me. This is a fantastic reason to have nannies and locks on all bedroom doors and windows.
Even the tabloids can’t stay out of their bedrooms. Fake story or not, their sex life is respected and feared by their enemies. Loves it. Lets give credit where credit is due. AJ and BP ooze SEX. Imagination run wild or true. The image is devine. I think that’s funny after all these years and kids.
It’s just her and the kids with not much to do? Really? You couldn’t play hide-and-seek or build a fort out of sheets or something? My kids only get both parents on the weekends, and yet somehow we find ways to fill the time (on a much smaller budget). Not sure I’m believing this one.
Angie and Brad are pr experts so you’re only going to get from these two what they want you to know.Do not put too much weight on their physical red carpet strolls; they are actors who have reputations that they have built and want to protect.They are not going to give interviews saying”Well hell the sex isn’t what it used to be”, “she said she wanted to stay home and raise the kids….LIAR”, or “he was Mr. Romantic and now he’s Mr.Gotta Work”.
The Jolie-Pitts are their own best invention and no one in Hollywood does it better.Maybe that’s why their fans are so rabid in their love/defense of them as a couple and of Angelina as an individual.
Gotta say it, Angie seems like a collector to me and collectors want the thrill of collecting but their ardor cools when they’ve got what they think they want.Of course, collectors continue to collect regardless because that’s where they get their high.You can apply this to her men or her children, I apply it to both.
Before you say it this is CeleBITCHY and nothing I say can match some of what I’ve read.

BP can’t seem to get enough. He acts like she is gravy that he wants to sop up with a biscuit.

Great posts! You are right, and funny too.
They had a gigantic fight and Brad was heard screaming, “I HATE BEIGE! AND HUMANITARIANS!”
Only kidding! Please don’t hurt me, people.
@Mal, I believe you and didn’t read what you wrote as a criticism, just as “this is how they handle one tiny aspect of their lives.” I dunno. I could be wrong.
@ Cheyenne you are very combative, if one disagrees with your opinions. You seem to put quite an effort to bully others in this forum.
This couple just seems way serious all the time.
