Article about the show
So, if you want to get cozy with Brad, turn on the TV, hop in bed, turn out the lights, close your eyes, and pretend he’s right there with you. Seriously, you should watch the program. It’s such an important topic that should never be ignored. The show starts tonight at 9PM EST.
On a controversial side note, I read an article last night about how DDT could/should have been used in Africa to help eradicate malaria. In Africa, malaria is the leading killer of children. In the 50′s, DDT was used worldwide to stop the disease but Africa didn’t get in on the game in time before it became a no, no to use.
You can find it here: World Magazine – Kill or be killed
Best quote from the article:
Author and physician Michael Crichton described the results of the de facto ban on DDT this way: “It has killed more people than Hitler.”
Good food for thought. Overall, DDT is still bad for the environment but a total ban on it seems to have done more harm in Africa than good.

This is a pretty scary show. I don’t even want my family leaving the house anymore. I just hope the meds can stay one step ahead of the microbes as they evolve.

I think along with my peers( which are your age as well) that you have made such a horrible example out of marriage. Unfortunately you will always be thought of as a cheater and my group of friends now are disenchanted by you as an actor and human being. We are no longer brad pitt fans, and for angelina lets hope she never gets cheated on either! Her poor children, shes a headcase.
To dmm I say: Live your life with love, decency and honesty. Make a difference in your community and learn about others in Asia, America, Europe, and Africa. Learn about other cultures and their history. Motivate your self to learn and grow – don’t throw stones at others.
Angelina has grown-up and has found a purpose in life. Try to make a committment yourself to others, make a difference in their lives and get your head out of the gutter of tabloid news!!!
Brad has found a motive to be useful and he is his own person, ask yourself this question: was the marriage with Jennifer happy? Was she happily married to Brad?
Never settle with tabloid news, always question things and don’t be a pawn – use your intelligence and analytical skills. That is why we all have them but few never USE them at all. Pity.
Leave Brad and Angelina alone! They look happy. Lets all look for our own happiness too.
Cheers.
Hope,
You are soooo right. Who are we to judge ANYONE!!??? Brad and Angelina have a right to love and happiness just like Brad and Jen did. None of us were in that household with Jen and Brad. It’s easy to smile for folks when things are going wrong. But the hard part is being truthful and walking away when it’s time to go. Fate placed Brad and Angelina together but there is a bigger plan ahead for the both of them and we are watching it unfold. You can only go but so far with the one you’re with. If their vision is not your vision then that is the end of your road together.
I think Brad knew that he wanted more long before the marriage was over and he wasn’t afraid to pursue that. None of us knows any of them personally. Every woman is not a wife. Every man is not a husband. People are allowed to find this out on their own! Brad is a grown man making decisions that will impact him for the rest of HIS life. He has a right to be happy and make these decisions regardless of what anyone thinks! Funny how he’s smiling more now that he’s involved with real worldly issues rather than walking down some red carpet cheezing for a pushy photographer!
I am proud of the influence that “Brangelina” is having on third world countries. I am glad to open a magazine and see them impacting homelessness and providing for sick children in the forgotten corners of the world.
For those of us that can see past the rose colored glasses it feels good to see people we have inadvertently placed on a glass pedestal CARE about the world they live in. Everyone feels sorry for Jen but guess what? She’s a big girl! We’ve all been hurt in some way, shape, or form. Not to be harsh but she’ll get over it. Jen is no fool. The media is making her out to be this lost in the dark ex-wife. Jen is strong and resilient. She entered into a covenant with a man who wasn’t finished fulfilling his destiny. It happens to the best of us! Jen is fighting to be what Brad has conquered…a movie star. He’s been there done that. The movies are superficial. That was phase one of Brad’s journey. He made money and became famous. Now it’s time to spend that money on things that count: Eradicating sickness and disease, providing warm beds for poor families, establishing educational foundations in shanty towns. Now it’s time to use that fame to strong arm some serious social issues.
Marriage is serious. It takes more than banana shakes and ice cream in bed to be compatible. Brad and Angelina are connected to each other because of a mutual love for this world and the people in it. It is obvious neither of them gives a flying fig newton about what the world thinks and THAT IS KEY! The personal stuff is besides the point. We have to remember that whatever is going down in Brad’s, Jen’s, or Angelina’s private lives is really none of our business even though we may THINK we know every detail thanks to an unforgivig and ever invasive MEDIA. What if someone reported all of our personal business to the world without giving us the chance to say why we did what we did? What if we were constantly judged by folks who never even met us but thought they knew us because they saw us walking down a street or in photographs?
GROW UP America! For those folks who decide to turn away from Brad and Angelina,”POOF DISAPPEAR!” They don’t need you. They’ve got folks like me and my friends in their corner who believe in searching for true happiness and soul mates!
So to you two wonderfully fearless souls I say,” Raise your families with love; stay true to those who understand you; make a difference in this world beyond the screen; forget the Oscar and go for the Pulitzer! It takes courage to make a difference. Love will always be difficult but always worth fighting for. Keep saving this world one child at a time; stay away from the pity parties. If you should CHOOSE to stay together respect and protect each other fiercely until that next stage in your lives; should you part, do so on your own terms and to hell with what others say! If you don’t want to get married then don’t. Do what YOU WANT to do. You’ve got my support no matter what! …Peace & Love to you and the kids!
Angie is a homewrecker. Who gives a flying F–k what sh’e doing in the third world countries. She should take a long hard look at the example she is setting for her husband. I used to like Brad…no more thiugh. He needs to learn to keep his penis in his pants!
P.S. Looking at all these pics of them makes me feel like I need a shower. They both look dirty and disgusting.
Ooops, I meant the example she is setting for her children.
I agree totally with Helen from Brooklyn…..none of us know the details of any of their previous relationships, it staggers me how judgemental people are. Angelina Jolie is a fascinating person, i truly believe she is living life on her own terms. You don’t see people living that way that often in life, and wow is she having an impact. Let people be, go bully people who do want to be examined incessantly by the media, like those boring heiresses and god awful talentless celebrities invading the world.
I love Angelina, she is real. She is not a homewrecker and I hope she has found her soulmate in Brad. She loves her children and I am happy she will be experiencing giving life to her own child soon. Her life is constantly evolving and she had a rough childhood with her father. So many of the things that people remeber her for were done for shock value, but she is a person that cares about the underpriveledged and she has made a home and picked the perfect father in Brad for Maddox and Zahara. I wish them all well and hope for a safe pregnancy, I would love to one day be able to sit across from Angelina and ask her about her motivations and her drive, she is a very interesting and intriguing person.
I almost feel guilty for posting something here; as I am an advocate for everyones privacy – including movie stars. However, since Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt are internationally involved with several organizations – they are (in that context) open to the public.
I applaude their efforts to better the lives of others that cannot do for themselves, for whatever reason.
We don’t know them. We know people they have portrayed.
We all live in glass houses – maybe you all should throw stones in your own houses first, before attacking the neighbors’.
The only silver lining I can see to the unrelenting tabloids is the attention it brings to their passion of helping the less fortunate.
Let’s let this family rest. Let’s let the actors entertain us with their brilliant talent. Let’s try to imagine being in their shoes. I have a feeling we wouldn’t be able to do so with the same grace they have exhibited. I wish them the best of everything. The World is a better place with them in it – their contributions are priceless – are yours?
I think Brad looks absolutely awful. Never worse – I agree with Tammy that the example set for the kids is terrible. Especially now that they may not even get married (if we can believe the tabloids quoting Angelina). Is that commitment??? Only time will tell if Brad Pitt cheats on her as well. What is his persona anyway? He seems to take on the persona of those he’s with. Let’s hope he doesn’t cheat with her in a couple of years. Once a cheater always a cheater.
First off to the ‘oh so perfect twosome’ Tammy and Mary> I’m praying for ya’ll! How is Angelina a homewrecker? Really? Were you there? Do you have the ultimate proof that Brad and Jen’s marriage wasn’t over before he started filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith? WAS JEN ALL THAT SHE NEEDED TO BE FOR HER HUSBAND? WAS BRAD ALL THAT HE NEEDED TO BE FOR JEN? HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AND BE SO DAMN SURE OF YOURSELVES UNLESS YOU WERE SLEEPING UNDER THE FREAKIN’ BED EVERY NIGHT! PERHAPS THEY WERE WHAT EACH OTHER NEEDED…FOR THE MOMENT…AND NOW THAT MOMENT HAS PASSED. “Judge not lest ye be judged, sweethearts!
You and Mary are so funny….Setting examples for the kids? The kids look happy as hell to me! Do you think aside from remembering there was someone there to love them with ‘mommy’…in Paris no doubt, that they are really going to care about the examples that are being set? Don’t place your adult prejudices on those kids. They are young and untarnished. Zahara and Maddox are going to know that their lives were saved thanks to adoption. Hell, all that love showered on them plus money? Those kids ain’t thinkin’ about what you’re thinkin’ about because unlike you they are too young to have issues! Zahara can’t even talk yet. And thanks to the twisted world of the tabloids we will get to watch these two soon to be three children become an enigma before our very eyes.
Y’all get me sick acting like marriage saves the freakin’ world. All the married people out there with screwed up lives and families because they never faced the truth with themselves. Commitment comes from the heart. Who are y’all to dictate what commitment should be for two people you don’t even know? That’s their agreement, their business! If Jen wasn’t the ‘one’ then dammit she wasn’t the ‘one’! Like y’all never walked away from a jacked up relationship. And if you didn’t shame on you!!
Like I said before GROW THE HELL UP! People go through these same experiences everyday but now because it’s two celebrities whom y’all think you know you’ve got a whole lotta nuthin’ to say.
And I’ve got to comment on Mary’s “Persona point of reference”>>Brad Pitt didn’t ‘act’ like Gwyneth Paltrow, nor did he ‘act’ like Robin Givens, nor did he ‘act’ like Thandie Newton, nor did he ‘act’ like Geena Davis, and he damn sure didn’t ‘act’ like Jennifer Aniston. So WHAT are YOU talking about? I’ve always heard he loved architecture, jewelry design, and third world causes. If you ask me it seems he finally met his match and stuck with her.
As to Brad’s looks…He’s 42 years old! You’re so used to lookin’ at the man on screen until you’ve disconnected him from real life. He’s aging for goodness sake! I hope he gets a pot belly from eatin’ all that good home cookin’. If he grows a beard and sits with his big feet propped up on a coffe table for the rest of his days with a red bull in in his right hand and the tv remote in his left it’s his choice. He’s lived a full life that none of us will be so lucky to have. He never dealt with his looks that way that’s why he’s always on a horse or kickin’ someone’s butt! It’s not that deep! That’s why he could pull off his roles in “Snatch” or “Fight Club”! He ain’t livin’ to be beautiful for you honey! Wanna see the glory days? Pop in “Thelma and Louise”, “Legends of the Fall” or “Interview With The Vampire” and get in to his face. We all go from carriages to pumkins so get over it. The trick is who can accept the change and keep it moving…botox free I might add.
Homewrecker? Angelina? Seems like she was minding her business to me, raising her kids, makin’ movies, and a man fell in her lap. Perhaps only the mature minded will get this statement….”Satisfied men don’t stray”…..
