I’m trying to use different photos of Brangelina in Palm Springs – different from the ones I used in yesterday’s Brangelina post. I still think Angelina looks a tad knocked up, but I could just be misreading her love of sack gowns. Anyway, as we’ve already documented extensively, Brad Pitt is walking with a cane now. While he was in Palm Springs, he talked to various media outlets and basically said that he took a tumble and messed up his knee because he was trying to avoid dropping Vivienne, but the circumstances seem to be changing. Angelina backs up his story, sort of. But I feel a conspiracy coming on….
It’s all Viv’s fault! Brad Pitt was rocking a cane at the Palm Springs Film Film Festival gala on Saturday night — and he finally explained the injury (first revealed late last week) on the red carpet to Us Weekly.
“I was carrying my daughter [Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 3] down the hill and I slipped and it was either her or me,” Pitt, 48, told Us. “It’s my ACL,” he added of the knee injury, but added that no surgery is planned. “I think I will be alright!”
At his side at the event, love Angelina Jolie was quick to tell reporters that he’s not asking for extra help around the house because of the injury.
“He is not that kind of guy,” the In the Land of Blood and Honey director, 36, said. “He does everything! I like the cane!”
And little Vivienne (twin sister to Knox) is no worse for the wear either. “Vivi’s okay. She was absolutely fine. He took the fall.”
Jolie similarly hurt herself years ago with her eldest, Maddox, 10. “It happened when Mad was younger. I took a fall as well and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make sure he wasn’t injured,” Jolie said. “Every parent has injured themselves.”
Among their six kids, the child of the weekend was Zahara, who turned 7 on Sunday. “We are focusing on birthday parties tomorrow for Zahara,” Jolie added.
[From Us Weekly]
They call her “Vivi”? Like, Vee-Vee or Viv-E? I prefer Viv-E. It’s cuter. As for the ever-changing story on Brad‘s knee, Angelina explained it again to Fox News: “We are building different parts of the lawn, and he was going down to see it, and the grass was changing levels, and he slipped. In order to make sure [Vivienne] was okay he threw himself down to protect her. He did the dad thing.” What about the skiing story? HM? I’m telling you… CONSPIRACY. Did they ever really go skiing? Did Brad really fall while he was holding Viv? Which home were they in? Where is this mysterious yard? Or did Angelina bust a cap in Brad’s knee when he misbehaved? Or did Brad bust his knee while he was praying for Jennifer Aniston to come back to him? See? Conspiracies.

Lmao
Possibly his knee is getting creaky in his old age, but they need a sexy excuse for his cane. Heck, I’m younger than Brad, and I wake up with a creaky knee some days. ROFL to “hurt it while praying for Jen to return.”
“I was carrying my daughter [Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 3] down the hill and I slipped and it was either her or me,” Pitt, 48, told Us.
“We are building different parts of the lawn, and he was going down to see it, and the grass was changing levels, and he slipped. In order to make sure [Vivienne] was okay he threw himself down to protect her. He did the dad thing.” Angie said.
Where did Brad himself actually say he was ‘skiing’ again?
Oh stop being logical Kaiser is having too much fun with this.
This confuses me, too. Seems pretty consistent.
THIS.
They all sound like the same story to me, just with more or less details given. I haven’t heard the skiing story, but unless it came from his own mouth, I don’t see where the contradiction is.
Yay,Papa Pitt!!
I know, Brad never said he was skiing or on a ski slope. You know the press they are always adding something to the story. Angie confirmed also that she never bought him a waterfall.
Clearly it’s the praying option, LOL!
That sack dress is terrible.
He looks so pinkish here…
It may just be that dress, but I think Angelina gave Brad another baby for his birthday/Christmas. She’s still thin, just her chest and her belly look a little fuller…
Kinky suspension sex gone wrong. Or so Jennifer Anniston’s spies told her, triggering a jealous fit.
Can we discuss why he didn’t want the photos of him leaving a beauty spa released and got his lawyers to get sites to remove them? Even Lainey, number one Brange fan /supporter, finds it weird. I find it strange too. Why would these pics be a problem, but pics of his kids that are taken by the paps aren’t being removed off sites by his lawyers, you’d think he’d be more concerned for his kids privacy than whether or not people know he’s more vain than his image suggests.
I’ve been wondering that too. Coming out of a spa is such a banal thing to be doing, why would that declench lawyer action? Don’t get it…
He doesn’t want us to know he gets botox. I have always thought that he was actually the more controlling one…
Exactly. He’s an actor part of his job is keeping himself looking as good as possible. Why would photos of him maintaining his looks, which is part of his appeal as an actor/celebrity be such a problem that legal action needs to be taken? While on the other hand, pics of his kids, which sometimes(esp. Pax) they look distressed in, are not removed. It’s so strange.
As Eve said previously,his skin looks “pinkish” if he had a peel at the spa it would cause that. Men are just as vain as women but there’s a stigma toward men who do the same stuff as women to maintain their looks. I’m wondering how did the lawyers get the images pulled? If he was in the building then they might have grounds. But if he was in the street with no expectation of privacy then it’s curious.
Brad’s photos at the spa are all over the place. Google it. Not sure why the haters are claiming they were all taken down when anybody could look it up. Also Lainey hates Brad and Angelina. She likes to talk about them but definitely is not a fan.
@Samira677, who wrote: “Also Lainey hates Brad and Angelina. She likes to talk about them but definitely is not a fan.”
______________
Yes, I saw the ‘lawyers ordered the photos removed’ story at Lainey Gossip as well. When I read her ‘statement’ (she sounded too smug about it all for an assumption) the first thought through my mind was ‘what about all the other photo links at Lainey’s (and else where) with messages reading ‘These photos have been removed and are no longer accessible’? That happens all the time at Lainey Gossip, so why is she making such a fuss over Brad’s photos?
I’ve been more and more disenchanted with Lainey since that whole unsubstantiated ‘Michael C. Hall/Julia Stiles’ rumor she started in December 2010.
kaiser did any lawyers contact you to remove the spa pictures
Cristina Radu spa? It’s where Aniston goes all the time! Ha-ha no wonder someone (Jolie?) demanded this obvious evidence of Pitt sneaking to Aniston’s favorite place removed 🙂
Or maybe he’s simply attention whore?
how would coming out of a spa, not knowing photogs are there translate in to attention whore?, he doesn’t need it, he was trying to get the pics removed from sites, i think you are getting him mixed up with the ex, she’s the fame whore remember? oh I’m sorry, you are her fan, oh i see, that’s why brad gets all the hate, he left her.
My read on the whole “picture coming out of spa with cane thing” is that Brad didn’t like the photos. C’mon every person has an ego and the pictures weren’t particularly flattering. The guy was in a jumpsuit and leaning on a medical appliance. That kinda shouts “grandpa” versus the ones above that, to me, send out an elder statesman vibe. I know which statement I think that Brad would rather put out there.
When is the last time you heard of Pitt threatening legal action to have photos supressed? Hell, he didn’t even do that when there were pix out that made it look like he was more than just a bit friendly with that assistant of his.
It’s not like it’s any secret that all of the stars get looked after right before awards shows. What’s so special about these?
@Wendy,
I don’t know if Pitt moved to have the pictures removed at all. Jenni and Lainey, apparently, are suggesting that that is the case. IF that is the case, I was suggesting why he might have done it.
To answer your question about when I have heard of him having pictures suppressed, I haven’t but then again I don’t follow him as closely as others obviously do. I wouldn’t be surprised if he or any other HW star with power did do that sort of thing. As to what was so special about these pictures, nothing as far as I can see. I don’t think that it is any secret that Brad tries to upkeep his looks which I find to be pretty common regardless of who you are.
Anyway, that my supposition in this game of “what if”.
Maybe it’s the same spa John Travolta visits regularly…
He wants to make himself interesting.
Now run the nominations for the Oscars. Since this is an interesting story.
Shame on you Brad!
Conspiracy… All I can say that is if the story keeps changing, one if not all of the versions is / are (a) lie(s). And no one lies to hide something good. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Brange, Aniston, Jay Z and Beyonce, whoever…
Brad and Angelina’s reason for his injury has never changed. It looks like ET, or whatever site this “ski slope” detail came from, was wrong.
Trek, according to Lainey, it was Jolie herself who said it, and did so right in front of a bunch of the press, including Lainey.
>>>When he came down to my area, he was quick with his explanation about his leg and the cane, saying simply that he tripped over his daughter. So when Angelina followed a few minutes later and was asked about him “tripping over their daughter”, she rolled her eyes exasperatedly like any wife who has to pick up after her husband (really cute) and was like, no no, he didn’t trip over her, he was carrying her while skiing and took the fall for her instead”<<<
I don’t know where the “while skiing” stuff has come from. Everything I read says slipped down a hill, not necessarily one covered with snow…
I just posted this above but I’ll post it here too

Just as I had suspected..
“I was carrying my daughter down a slope and I slipped”
Not all slopes are ski slopes.
He’s probably ashamed of admitting on national TV being beaten by his lovely lady 🙂
Or maybe he’s ashamed of falling off his motorcycle 😉
haha
she busted a cap into him and told him to smarten up regarding jen.
sooooo funny.
Lainey was at the award show. She says Angelina said he was skiing and Pitt said he tripped over the kids. lol
His story is the same. The lazy reporting is the problem. When he was interviewed by ET, (there is tape), he said he was walking down a slope, which in the English language, means hill. The lazy reporters added the skiing part since I guess all slopes must involve skiing and this was of course picked up by the remainder of the press and repeated. He never said he was skiing.
He and Angelina always said hill (slope), which happened to be in their yard, which by the way, was the original story. His story never changed. And please do not use Lainey’s lazy reporting as proof. She is just repeating what she had already heard.
Lainey was at the Awards show in Palm Springs & spoke to Brad & Angie directly.
Angie told her it was skiing. Brad told her he tripped over a kid. So Lainey got it directly from the horses mouth.
I doubt Lainey spoke to Angie and Brad directly. But if she did, she probably heard the ski accident story before speaking with Angie and just reported that Angie said it. Remember this is the same person who pretended that she attended the AfterParty for MoneyBall during the Toronto Film Festival and gave all these details about the JP’s. Found out later this was 3rd hand information given to her by a colleague of a colleague.
@ deltona…she interviewed them in Palm Springs. She spoke with both of them.
like i said, she could have interviewed them but she is also known for making up stories as though she was there. She even admitted that she was so intimidated by Angie while interviewing her at Cannes for Kung Fu Panda 2 she didn’t remember what Angie said.
Wonder why the show Lainey works at “ETalk” is showing a clip of Angie at the festival clearly stating Brad slipped on the lawn. On the Clip there were several reporters. But it was a Fox reporter who asked Angie what happened to Brad. Wouldn’t you think her own show would highlight her interviewing Angie? They did show her asking Brad a question about George Clooney.
I don’t know about the conspiracy. But that last pic of Angie frightens me. She looks like she is about to topple over in a dead faint.
I know the truth – it was Elin Nordegren like story but we have award season and they are pretending the happiest couple in universe. Losers.
Spill them beans!
“Or did Angelina bust a cap in Brad’s knee when he misbehaved?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is going to be the best of any guesses.
I love the thought of her cracking him in the knee for being annoying.
This such a double standard.
Why is it even considered cute or funny when a woman hits a guy? I’m not saying Angie did that, but why even joke about it?
This kind of thinking causes actually abused men to not report that they’re being abused by their female significant other because it’s not taken seriously. If Brad was a woman and Angie a man any hint that his injury was caused by Angie would be seen as serious and all of their fans would be pissed off that such an idea was even implied.
You realize first of all, this is not about domestic violence/abuse. Yes?
This is a gossip site. Yes?
And I never implied that domestic violence was funny. Or something to mock.
So for you to enter here and scream at me for mocking domestic violence is ridiculous.
I mused at the thought of Angie Jo cracking Brad in the knee.
Which goes back to last week and the whirlpool gossip that was tossed around them. Sperm. Babies. And ex-wife’s. And him lacking to inform Angie Jo of certain things. Allegedly.
So please take your crusade for domestic violence else where.
Thank you.
Where was I screaming exactly? I don’t see any all capslock words or exclamation marks in my previous post, so what are you talking about?
Just because the implied violence was described in lighthearted terms doesn’t make it any better to joke about. You said that you loved the idea that Angie hit him in the knee out of annoyance, so how is that not mocking the fact that whatever happened to him injured him enough to need a cane? What is there to love about the idea that someone hit someone else out of annoyance hard enough to cause injury?
What does this place being a gossip site have anything to do with what I said? I’m fully aware that this is a gossip site, I guess I didn’t get the memo that joking about people getting hit was a laughing matter and cool on this site.
Jinni,
I see that you didn’t get the memo. Okay, on this site if “bad-ass” Jolie (all 100+ pounds of her)does anything in mock violence (particularly S&M related)to anyone but particularly lucky boy Brad then that is cool and..”bad ass”. No so much for anyone else.
As far as Brad, the going mythology is that is p*ssy-whipped from here to eternity and he likes it that way.
Domestic violence isn’t funny, I agree but this isn’t that really. This is actually funny for the Brange fans because that’s the way they like to see the relationship played out. It’s funny for the rest of us because it actually makes AJ look like c*nt of the first order and Brad a completely ball-less, spineless f*cking wonder! Think of it that way and laugh along with everyone else (for different reasons)!
@Kara Ann: Thanks for the explanation. I don’t really hang out on Brange post that much so I guess this is all some crappy inside joke I didn’t get.
I’m happy to read that Vivienne wasn’t hurt in the tumble and Brad protected her.
brad is such a handsome man, just look at him, beautiful looking couple, lol at the write up.
I think she busted him during some rough nookie, and the cane is his badge of honor.
I tripped over a half-buried stepping stone at a friend’s with my (then) infant daughter in my arms. I held her to me, tucked myself around her, and didn’t let go of her until after I hit the ground. She was fine – just scared. I broke the bone under my big toenail, which was ripped off, and damaged my right shoulder.
So I totally believe the “Vivi or me” story.
The man loves his Blush. I wanna know what color-shade that is!
@Jenny…THANK YOU for having reading comprehension and listening skills. Brad and Angelina BOTH said he slipped while walking on a slope in their back yard. On the GRASS. The gossip blogs added the SKI part. Just glad that Vivi wasn’t hurt. I just find it a shame GROWN ASS women trying to twist this into gossip. BTW that gossip story about Angelina buying Brad the waterfall was MADE UP. Angelina denied this doing a red carpet interview. It is on video.
‘I was trying to protect Viv, but I took an arrow to the knee.’
Yes!! Another gamer FTW! 😀
Or, that’s what I was going to say, but then I took an arrrrrrr…Ha!
YES, this is Promotion for his nominations 😉
she’s not preggers, look at the x17 pic from 3 days ago
BUT! i do believe sh’es playing the game of wearing things that make her look like she may be preggers!
also, she really has to change the attention back on herself. she did it with the falling down the hill story and also, when interviewed, they asked about brad and she turned the conversation to herself again….talking now about afghan
her honey.blood movie bombed, i kind of feel sorry for her now
It did not bomb it opened in 3 theaters. They never expected it to make much with unknown actors, subtitles and such a brutal theme. Angelina herself said that all she cared about was that people from the region accepted it.
Also she probably thinks questions about Brad’s knee are stupid, because they are. The media is acting like idiots over a little injury, why would Angelina want to spend all night talking about an injury.
You are really knit-picking.
That man does not look happy in those pics at all….All the best to them anyways.
Took an arrow to the knee… no?
I think this whole “Angelina is pregnant” thing depends on the angle.In the first pic, yeah it kind of looks like she has a bit of a bump. But in the other pics where she has her hands on his face….she looks flat.
her smile is beautiful.
conspire away though…this is hilarious
Don’t see the big deal? he fell… didn’t he?
Here’s video of them rushing to leave and she looks angry. He doesn’t seem to be USING the cane, just carrying it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyTGpJImlfI
OMG….are you THAT delusional to post a video and completely make comments that are obviously not true? Wow.
Yeah, I didn’t get that either…I checked the video (thanks, Olivia!, fast and attentive as always) and saw him CLEARLY using the cane.
I actually looked at the video before commenting and +1 olivia. He’s using the cane to tap the floor but not leaning his weight on it. And yeah..she’s got her b-face on.
Ok, then my husband is obviously lying to me. Because he injured his ACL when he was playing basketball and he’s walking with a cane and looks just like Brad when he’s using it!
Maybe this is why they are rushing

At the Palm Springs Film Festival gala there were so many awkward people swarming Brangelina’s table, they had to bring in the police.

@ Robin:
Maybe I wasn’t very clear, but I agreed with you. He’s using the cane for support — possibly to avoid leaning ALL his weight on his knee, which must still hurt. Anyway, my theory.
@ Eve Sorry, I should of stated that my response was to BelleBeesting. My bad.
And I agree with your theory about Brad in the video. But according to Olivia and BelleBeesting, common sense isn’t enough to stop them from making unjustified and snide comments.
Why is this a story again? Oh ya, wait, nevermind, I’m on a gossip site.
I keep thinking that Angelina’s boniness caused this injury during a sex romp.
I think they both look like they are putting on a huge happiness act. I don’t think they are in the least happy or comfortable with themselves. I have wondered: if Angie is such a brain, why would she WANT to be with Brad-he’s proven himself to be quite the doufus. They’ve definitely done some very cool things, and I’ll agree that they are VERY out there regarding important environmental & humanitarian causes, but mostly, they just seem restless & caught in a famewhore ferris wheel prison. I feel sorry for the kids, myself.
Maybe Brad is like Blake/insert any model type that Leo has dated or Stacey Keilber, just a pretty, empty headed, blonde that looks good on her arm. Maybe she doesn’t look to him to stimulate her intellectually. Maybe (like everyone is starting to think about Leo and George) she’s not as smart she likes to portray herself to be. Maybe Brad’s not as dumb in private as he come off in interviews. Who knows.
Wow….such hate.
Brad is very smart and knows lots about the world. Watching interviews of him you can see he is intelligent and has such a big vocabulary.
Just because you are unhappy, doesn’t mean they are.
I wonder why Angelina is with him, too. To me, it’s like the beautiful, intelligent, Harvard-bound punk rock girl at your high school suddenly deciding to date the dumb jock captain of the football team. And then he starts wearing a pair of fake glasses so you think he’s smart, too.
I’d love to see Angelina with somebody like Fassy. SWOON.
Err… while the Fass is an incredible actor and I don’t think he’s a doof at all, he’s not an intellectual academic either; just down-to-earth and simple dude who keeps the lowest of profile. If Angie was the hot smart rebel and Brad the dumb jock, Fass would be like the class clown. Don’t see this one happening anytime soon (but yes for an onscreen pairing!).
Vivi is a cute nickname. Still don’t think she’s pregnant. Non-story is still a non-story.
some of the jen hens are so funny,7 years same shi*,just the first awards of the season and they are already losing it,its 5 to go,These thwo love each order,brad is a gentleman he opens doors,and the way he looks at her,no faking there,unlike people who hire douchebags and paid skinny jeans wearing balding dwarfs
brad dumb?? some of you people have serious issues,its 2012 move on
People have been saying Brad is nothing but a dumb stoner since before his divorce. Even since before he got married; his alleged stupidity has been a character trait for pretty much his entire career, so I don’t see what 2012 have to do with it.
@midnightmoon,whatever makes you feel better sweety,lol poor thing sucks to be you
@hautie so you think the tabloid was right lol some of you people never learn,couples are breaking up all over the place but these two are together because jealous hags refuse to see the truth instead they hold onto their tabloids as bibles and crazy bloggers and rubbish sites like FF and manufacture lies about these two to make them feel better because probably they are unhappy in their own personal lives
1. Not all criticism is a result of feelings of jealousy. This infantile, piss poor psychology that you and some others seem to deploy consistently on this site is pathetic. You may not believe this, but human beings are a little more evolved than that.
2. Are you seriously arguing that everyone who is in a relationship is therefore happy???
All these comments because a man is walking with a cane..
ROTFLMAO
Brad said to ET that they the family went on New Years Ski trip. He was carrying his daughter down a slope and lost his footing. He made sure he took the impact and that she Viv was OK.
Now how that all translates to his is faking an injury for what purpose, that He and Angie had a fight and are on the verge of a major break up. They are not happy together because someone sees a picture where they are not glowing at each other. Brad had pictures removed because he doesn’t want people to know he went to a spa that he has already been photographed at before.
I know that this is celebitchy. but is this the news. Brad is walking with a cane is big news. There are loads of internet videos of he and Angie saying that they were WALKING down the slope when on a ski trip. I’m sure the entertainment shows will have it in great detail. Because that seemed to be the major issue of interest. Which is beyond funny to me.
but whatever.. the truth is never as exciting as the speculation.
I think he probably fell while he was consulting with some well known, highly respected architects.
Exactly!The twins may have been creating the concept with their legos and Brad had a bit too much smoke and thought he fell off the top floor thus injuring himself!I knew we’d crack the mysterious case of the 49 year old male injuring himself as that has been a world wide mystery for decades!
Somebody is desperate for a Brad/Angelina if you’re trying to make a story out of the nothing. The skiing story never came directly from Brad or Angelina. They’ve both said the same several times so I don’t know why people are claiming they are lying or hiding something. Just because a tabloid or blog says “close source” doesn’t mean it’s true.
I looked at a couple other sources, and Brad said he fell down a hill while on a ski trip, but never said he was skiing. Also, ski boots are notoriously hard to walk in, especially downhill (and it does make sense that he would be carrying his young child to make sure she didn’t fall). Sooo I don’t see a conspiracy at all, as fun as that would be.
God Brad looks terrible! He looks like a ragged hobo! It’s not sexy… Shave all of that hair off!
because it’s the jolie pitts, everything about them is made into some sort of conspiracy.
LOL, I vote Angie busted a cap in his knee,, Love them both..
He tripped over Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends.
I cannot find one flattering thing about that bed sheet she is calling a dress. Horrid color, no shape, blech. I loved her in the dark blue gown with one shoulder she wore recently though. She looks better in a vibrant color and not a baggy beige sheet. I have nothing to add to the discussion of the conspiracy of the cane.
I have a Vivienne and her aunt and uncle call het Vivvi (viv-ee). I’ve never called her that, but I think it’s cute.
Her eye make-up in these Palm Springs photos makes her look exhausted. She’s using red-brown shades around her eyes, and it isn’t flattering.
I couldn’t possibly care less about how he hurt his knee.
The cane is all for show. He is walking like he always does and standing on it with all his weight in some of the pictures. Since they are not pregnant and people (expect the loons) are not really interested in the kids anymore he has to get atention somehow. Desperate – but it is working for him. Watch the cane disappear after the awards season. People are really getting tired of these two – they are all over and everywhere it is hard to go a day without them making sure they have their picture taken. pathetic. But oh well they want the attention. Let’s see the Beyonce plays out this whole baby thing – think she will sell pictures?
please—
there is a simple explanation.
they are fake..all they do is telling lies..in order to keep a supermom and superdad image.
they use their kids for that–no respect for them,they are disgusting.
and on a superficial side:they look used and gross.
she looks like a 50year old junkie and he looks like a total douchebag.
disgusting couple
Well I dont know about the rest of it but she is DEFINITELY PREG. RAWR!
