Today in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
News from our Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie archivles.
November 21, 2008
We were shocked. Shocked, we say, when we awoke at noon today and found this hit piece in
The New York Times staring us back in our drowsy faces:
“When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt negotiated with People and
other celebrity magazines this summer for photos of their newborn
twins and an interview, the stars were seeking more than the estimated $14 million they received from the deal. They also wanted a hefty slice of journalistic input — a promise that the winning magazine’s coverage would be positive, not merely in that instance but into the future.”
Meanwhile, if this were not enough, we discover that a certain
word is verboten around the couple.
“The magazine (People) also had to provide an ‘editorial plan’ as well as never using the ‘Brangelina’ moniker to describe them. Brad and Angelina apparently hate that,” writes
Infos Jeunes.
And lastly, E! Online asks the most important question of our age: Why Won’t BrangelAniston Just Go Away?
“Jennifer Aniston, that poor, dumped cheerleader, was the top-selling cover face of the first half of 2007, according to Forbes. And since then she has continued to make the media plenty of cash every time she opens her reedy little nonexistent lips,” it opines.

We were heretofore unapprised of this information, but, according to
Reuters,
Angelina Jolie has breasts: “A magazine cover photo of Angelina Jolie breast-feeding one of her newborn twins may have turned the superstar actress into a role model for new mothers.”
Meanwhile, it turns out it is all Brad’s fault.
“Angelina Jolie has revealed that she never wanted to give birth, and had no intentions of having biological children, until she met her partner, actor Brad Pitt,”
The Morung Express writes.
And lastly, USA Today tells us she’s everywhere:
“As Angelina Jolie’s latest movie, Changeling, heads to theaters Oct. 24, she steps back into the spotlight. Her partner, Brad Pitt, shot photos of her for a spread in November’s W (on sale Oct. 21); there are interviews on Parade.com and in Vanity Fair’s German edition.”

It takes a lot to bring New Yorkers to their news. Only two people that we know of are actually
capable to doing it.
“Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their half-dozen children descended upon New York City on Oct. 2.
The family is in town for the premiere of Jolie’s new film, ‘Changeling,’ and while there’s plenty of Oscar buzz surrounding Jolie’s performance, locals were buzzing about the traffic jam the family caused outside their midtown Manhattan hotel,
MSNBC writes.
Meanwhile, one of the exes is lavishing praise,
according to Entertainment and Showbiz! “Billy Bob Thornton has lavished praise on his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, insisting that she’s one of his best friends in the world.
The former couple married in 2000 and adopted seven-year-old son Maddox together, before divorcing in 2003.
Now, Thornton has said that he has fond memories of Jolie.”
October 1, 2008
She’s comin’ home! “Angelina Jolie will make her first public appearance since giving birth to twins at a film premiere next week.
Universal Pictures has confirmed that nearly three months after having her babies- Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline- she’ll hit the New York red carpet for her new movie Changeling on Friday October 10,”
reports MTV UK.
Meanwhile, there is some friction in a great male alliance, according to
The Indo Asian News Service:
“One of Hollywood’s famous friendships between George Clooney and Brad Pitt seems to be over. The fallout took place over a film role.
Clooney revealed he is no longer speaking to his Ocean’s 11 co-star as they both want to play Henry Higgins in the remake of My Fair Lady and neither is backing out, reports said.”
And lastly, there is this shocking account on Entertainmentwise: “Angelina Jolie is refusing to eat and feels so low that partner Brad Pitt has forced her into therapy.”
September 30, 2008
We found this little tidbit this morning in
Pestiside, Hungary’s most reliable source for news (in any language),
about a poor and unknown Mr. Bradley Pitt, which they found in Scotland on Sunday:
“[Pitt] had taken $600 from his $800 savings to buy an air ticket to travel more than 6,000 miles from Los Angeles just to visit Schoelen. We talked as he looked around the film set. I would love to get in to movies, he said, hopefully. But I am here today to see my girl.”
Meanwhile, the brood is on the move again.
“How many homes do Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt need?
Apparently, a lot!
Even though they have a long-term lease on Chateau Miraval, a huge estate in France, the couple has just moved into a posh villa called the Palais Parkschloss, near Berlin,”
says The Los Angeles Times.
And lastly, Showbiz Spy is counting all the way to seven: “HOLLYWOOD super-couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are once again considering adoption, according to reports.
The pair have six children, with Jolie giving birth to twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline in July.”
September 23, 2008
It’s taken over three years for Brad to notice:
“Angelina Jolie can’t cook. Despite having six children with partner Brad Pitt, the ‘Wanted’ actress admits she has never been able to master any culinary skills.
She said: ‘I don’t cook – it’s the one thing I can’t do!’ Angelina insists Brad
is the parent responsible for the cooking, admitting: “When I get away from filming and doing interviews, I join Brad and the children to have breakfast or lunch,”
China Daily reports
Nevertheless, Angelina’s lack of kitchen prowess is not enough to tear them apart,
according to The Times of India:
“A representative for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has hit out at online rumours that the Hollywood supercouple has split …
a spokesperson for the couple has vehemently denied they are having any troubles with their relationship.”
As LondonNet proves, they are still great: “Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million to charity.
The couple’s non-profit organisation the Jolie-Pitt Foundation has given the generous sum to the Human Rights Watch’s work in Burma and Zimbabwe.”
September 5, 2008
Try as they may, hurricanes and vice-presidential nominees lack that super
force which could
drive Brangelina from being front and center in the minds of people throughout the world.
As Access Hollywood reminded us a few hours ago:
“Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt aren’t just the world’s most famous couple.
They’re also now being called the most influential.”
Still, while they can exert their influence to the world, at times they just aren’t influential
enough with those who really matter, as
Bild reports:
“Angelina Jolie (33), who has reportedly had multiple breakdowns
since the birth of her twins in July, may be suffering from severe postpartum depression.
While Brad Pitt has been travelling all over the world, first to the
Venice Film Festival with George Clooney and then taking off with
daughter Zahara, Angelina has been struggling to care for the couple’s six
children at their home in southern France.”
If only it ended there.
” After giving birth to twins, Angelina Jolie is keeping a low profile and is all the time attending to her kids, for she fears that her children will be kidnapped, it has emerged,”
according to The Times of India.

Today in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, August 18, 2008
Ripples for the aftermath of the Brangelina birth earlier this summer are still transpiring.
“Jennifer Aniston and her rocker boyfriend John Mayer went through a rough patch in their relationship around the time her ex-beau Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie had twins,”
IANS writes.
Meanwhile, there has been another confirmed case of Brangelina envy.
“George Clooney has revealed he’d be willing to strip off if he looked more like Brad Pitt,”
Showbiz Spy reports.
And, for those of you scoring at home, place another one in the RBI column.
“The Portmanteaux took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Brangelina hit a sacrifice fly to send Ashmi streaking in from third,”
Baseball Ink prints. No wonder their team is still number one.
August 14, 2008
At least one Brad Pitt had a bad day.
“He shares a famous name with Angelina Jolie’s husband.
However, this Brad Pitt is a heavyweight boxer from Australia …Today Pitt lost his bout at the Olympics,”
Simple English News writes.
Meanwhile, we would never confuse Katie Holmes with Mr. Pitt. However, “In her first role since giving birth to twins, Angelina Jolie, will replace Tom Cruise in a forthcoming action thriller.
According to the Hollywood publication Variety, the lead was previously written for Mr Cruise but will be adapted to fit the Wanted actress,”
MTV UK reports.
And lastly, according to contactmusic, no decision has been made: “Hollywood actress ANGELINA JOLIE admits she still hasn’t decided who to support in the forthcoming U.S. presidential election …
And Jolie insists that despite the election looming in November (08), she still hasn’t made up her mind whether to support Obama or his Republican rival John MCCain.”
August 10, 2008
So many stories from this past week have attempted to deflect attention from the one true story
The John Edwards love child from the woman he doesn’t love, fomenting tensions in the Caucusus, Madonna’s first half century, the battle to lead the free world and of course the celebration of sporting events nobody ever really follows except during this quadrennial period.
But at least some publications have their priorities straight.
Premier among them is HELLO!, which has the first snaps of the newly expanded Brangelinian clan:
“They’re the photos the world’s been waiting for.
Three weeks after the birth of twins Knox Leon and
Vivienne Marcheline, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie offer HELLO!
an exclusive view of their family of eight.”
The Rocky Mountain News, meanwhile, is reporting that Barack Obama might not receive top billing at the
Democratic National Convention: “Superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in talks with a local promoter to host a charity event during the Democratic National Convention Aug. 25-28.”
And lastly, Fox Sports Australia reminds us to think about the other Brad Pitts of this world:
“LADIES, meet Brad Pitt. And we’re not talking about Angelina Jolie’s bloke who has to file an insurance claim every time he cuts himself shaving.”
July 18, 2008
Six days after the great event, and it is still what everyone is talking about.
“Angelina Jolie gave birth to both a boy and a girl in Nice, France on Saturday.
Many magazines want to be the first to have photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina’s twins,
and they are willing to pay a lot of money to get them,” writes Simple English News.
Meanwhile, should Wyclef Jean and Michael Kelly need a little pocket money they know
where to look.
“If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ever want to go out on a date alone, they
can certainly turn to their celeb pals to look after their brood of six kids,” says
The Times of India.
However, it does not appear they will be going anywhere for a while, according to
Entertainmentwise:
“Angelina Jolie and her twins are likely to remain in hospital for the next few days, a spokesperson has confirmed.
The actress has been in a maternity ward at Lenval hospital in Nice following the birth Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on Saturday.”
July 13, 2008
Vive la France! The Brangelinian clan is now at eight and counting. As our good friends at Roget’s Thesaurus would say, this day is “amplitudinous, astronomical, behemoth, big, colossal, cyclopean, elephantine, enormous, epic, gargantuan, giant, gigantic, great, herculean, herculean, heroic, humongous, immense, imposing, jumbo, large, leviathan, macroscopic, magnitudinous, mammoth, massive, monster, monstrous, monumental, olympian, oversize, prodigious, pyramidal, pythonic, stratospheric, stupendous, titanic, towering, tremendous, vast, vasty.” We particularly
agree with “vasty”.
The Associated Press described this most joyful of occasions in Jolie-Pitt history:
“Angelina Jolie’s doctor said today that the actress has given birth to a girl and a boy.
Dr Michel Sussmann said that Jolie, the babies and Jolie’s partner, Brad Pitt, ‘are doing
marvellously well.’
Dr Sussmann confirmed a report in the local Nice Matin newspaper that
Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Caesarian
section on Saturday night.”
Of course this news means that others will have to be called in: “Now that they will have their hands full with six kids, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are finally employing a full-time nanny to get a little extra support.”
according to oneindia.
At least there will be some funds to pay for the help: “(Angelina’s) advisers have this week been fielding offers from U.S. celebrity magazines for record-breaking bids upwards of L11million for the exclusive rights to carry the first pictures of the new additions to Brangelina’s ever-expanding clan,”
The Daily Mail write.
The money will also go to help welcome the next member of the family:
“Actress Angelina Jolie is considering adopting another child, less than two weeks after checking into a hospital to prepare for the birth of her twins,”
The San Francisco Chronicle reports on reports.
February 26, 2008
Superceding all other Brangelina news today is the cameo appearance which Mr. Pitt made in a
parody video for Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscar show.
Meanwhile, the meeting that was to be never was.
“ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt … avoided an Oscar meeting with Pitt’s ex Jennifer Aniston by pulling out of a party they were all set to attend,”
The Herald Sun reports.
And lastly, have you heard they are expecting another one (or two)?
“If the bump on her belly is any indication, Angelina Jolie really is pregnant.
The actress created a stir at Saturday night’s Spirit Awards when she showed up with partner Brad Pitt on her arm and a noticeably pregnant bulge,”
The Canadian Press writes.
February 22, 2008
It’s official, according to the San Francisco Chronicle: “Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s adoption of 4-year-old Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt has been formally approved in a Los Angeles court.
Jolie adopted Pax from an orphanage in Vietnam last year, after a Vietnamese judge approved the adoption.”
Meanwhile, The Sun is reporting on some nervous moments in the skies: “FILM star ANGELINA JOLIE — said to be pregnant with twins — collapsed on an 18-hour flight.
A fellow passenger on the journey from Iraq to Los Angeles said: ‘She started to get nosebleeds and cramps. She fainted.’”
And lastly, Brangelina made someone’s day.
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a double date with Clint Eastwood and his wife on
Wednesday night.
Brad and Angelina were the first to arrive and mistakenly walked into a nearby
eaterie before realising they should be at Los Angeles’ Italian restaurant Divino
across the road,” The List writes.
February 21, 2008
The wait continues. Is Brad going to propose or what? “For three years, one of the biggest questions in the American media has been:
Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie going to tie the knot?” writes
Simple English News.
Meanwhile, speaking of waiting, our fellow devotees of the greatest couple which
ever lived over
at brangelina.net have their very own countdown clock to the Angelina-Jennifer
Aniston faceoff that
is due to take place in a mere matter of days, nay, hours, nay, minutes, nay, seconds.
And lastly, perhaps it is this upcoming encounter which has forced Angelina to seek some time alone.
“Angelina Jolie enjoyed some time to herself last week.
The actress was visiting Mammoth in California with Brad, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh. Mammoth is a ski resort town and the family flew there in a private plane,”
reports MyParkMag.
February 19, 2008
Are those wedding bells we hear … again?
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning to marry in a private ceremony this spring.
The Hollywood couple are rumoured to have been discussing the plans with Brad’s mum Jane, who has finally accepted Ange into the family,”
says Now Magazine Online.
But will the nuptials coincide with Angie’s maternity leave?
“Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie has fuelled rumours that she may be pregnant by telling those she works with that she will be taking the summer off,”
reports Bounty News.
And should someone in such poor health even consider the burdens or marriage and family expansion?
“Brad Pitt is worried again about his baby mama Angelina Jolie and again there are reports coming in about the health of the actress,”
The National Ledger reveals.
February 14, 2008
It is only natural that, on this day for lovers, one’s attention drifts towards the greatest
couple in the history of the planet.
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been named Hollywood’s most influential couple in a new poll …
Pitt and Jolie topped the survey because of their humanitarian acts, growing family and ‘likeability’ as a couple,”
writes China Daily.
Meanwhile, why should a guy limit himself to just one Valentine? “Jennifer Aniston will finally come face-to-face with ex Brad Pitt and his current love Angelina Jolie – at an Oscars party called ‘A night for Unity,’”
reports Showbiz Spy.
And last but not least, they’re getting married again.
“Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt plan to quietly wed at their Santa Barbara home in the Spring. Sources say Jolie has accepted Pitt’s marriage proposal as she feels “the time is right,’”
TransWorldNews informs us.
