I want to hate Angelina Jolie. I really, really do.
There was no one who was a bigger fan of Bren or Jad or Braniston or whatever the heck Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were called when they were together. I can still envision their wedding pictures and remember how incredibly happy they looked that day. That day...heck, every time they were together. She made that brooding guy seem more lighthearted and he just made her seem happy.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Smith rolled along and Brad met Angelina and Brangelina was born. I don't spend an inordinate amount of time following celebrity lives, but this debacle made me furious. Homewrecker. Slut. I stopped going to see her movies and refused to read any article about her and Brad and their newfound happiness.
However, in the event of a nuclear holocaust, the only two things to survive will be cockroaches and a worldwide fascination regarding Angelina and Brad. They are everywhere. So, despite my best efforts, I wound up hearing news about the couple. He adopted her adopted son when they got together. Then, they adopted another child together. They send their kids to good schools. They play with them. They take care of them. They don't go out and party like crazy. They go to work and come home to the family. Who can take issue with that? Then, they had their own child, Shiloh. Once again, they seemed to be putting their focus on their family and every time a photo was taken of the couple, at least one of the children was in tow.
Hurricane Katrina hits and the United States is shocked. Celebrities gave good face time to the cause, but few actually got off their butts and did something about it. Enter Brad and Angelina. They donate money, they donate time, they start some sort of new foundation, they are (what seems like) single-handedly helping New Orleans recover from the hurricane.
Now, she's pregnant again. With twins! Seriously, could these two be any more fortunate??? They are, easily, two of the most beautiful people in the world. They are successful movie stars. They have a beautiful, ever-expanding family that they seriously love and care for. They bring the causes of the little people to the attention of the world and don't just pay lip-service, but pay time and money and energy to these causes as well.
Why could he just have left Jennifer Aniston for Amy Winehouse? It would have made my life so much easier.

Report AbuseI use to love Angelina until she stole Jen's man. After that, I lost a lot of respect for her as a woman. But I still love her movies.. lol
Poor Jen she just can't catch a break :( I think Brad only hooked up with Angie to have babies! His true love is and will always be Jennifer Aniston!!

Report AbuseSaint. Let's face it. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman that also has a heart. Brad Pitt is a handsome man that had it in his heart enough that he was able to be led. As much as what they did was wrong to our darling Jennifer, what they're doing is right.
The only thing I take issue with are their mansions and expensive lives. It feels hard to understand it. But I can't really judge them because they're doing so much good, to criticize for that, seems somehow wrong.
People do good things and people do bad things. But I think these two might be a pretty good team.

Report AbuseI think everybody has the right to be happy. AJ and Brad are too good to be criticized. I always admire angelina for the good heart she has. She maybe have so much inside her(and Brad knows that) that makes her beautiful to most people. Jen is also a beautiful person.. I think it will be best to leave these issue to Brad - he is more than 40 years and too old to be taught on what he should do.. It's not fair to judge Angelina or Jen. "Lets leave them alone" - i think it's the most fair thing to do.

Report Abusewe people have different points of view in our lives.and i guess the only thing that we can conclude about this issue is simply to keep our mouth shut!. Who are we to judge the life they live?? I mean, who are we?? Do they even bother our personal lives?? common? lets just face the fact that we are just ordinary people and They are CELEBRITIES...and i guess they just simply do that thing its because they loved each other..they have the right to be Happy..and remember? everyone of us really deserves to be HAPPY...and just be happy for them too!... Good Day!!

Report AbuseI feel for you. I, too, was in denial for a while, when rumors start spreading like wildfire. I thought it was all for front for the movie "Mr & Mrs Smith". I was too naive to immediately realize that she has the "tools" to actually catch Brad's heart enough to leave Jennifer for good.
I cried for her and ended up watching a lot of her movies (Break Up, De railed and Rumor Has it), much of it out of sympathy for a "Friend". I watched her Oprah interview and I must say (sorry Jen), it wasn't convincing enought that she's completely over Brad. (Darn! If only he wasn't such a hottie.) I even hoped that she'd find a way to steal the b------ back and wished it would be like how Reese Witherspoon did-- won an Oscar then be with a more popular, hotter guy. But then I thought, Brad is just a tough act to follow. (Darn twice!)
But bottomline is, that's just how Hollywood relationship culture is. I mean, seriously, we can't put all the blame at Angelina for being the "fox" that she is. I just hope the next one for Jen will treat her better, and be the one for keeps. I wish her peace and hapiness.

Report AbuseHomewrecker. I still don't buy that line that nothing went on between them until he had left Jen. Are we really supposed to believe that? I have not since and will not ever watch another movie that either of them are in. I will not promote a cheater.

Report AbuseOMG...nobody can "steal" someone's man/woman. They go by their own choice. It's a fact of life people do fall out of love, break up, get divorced. It's been 3 years!!! Get over it!! If Angie was just average looking, would anybody still be talking about this? And Angie has done so much more good in the world. God...all I see is Aniston tanning in a badly tied bikini.
And why in a breakup people act like the woman is nothing without a man to love, yet a newly single man is a happy bachelor, playing the field!! Women can be happy single, or happy bachlorettes, playing the field. Aniston looks like she's having fun with John Mayer.

Report AbuseIf I were Jen I'd be really upset people talked about me like I was a crusty old maid, never to love again, die alone. She's beautiful, rich and young.
I've always admired Angie for always being open and real about herself, even if it wasn't pretty. She showed alot of people she was just trying to figure out life like the rest of us. She never pretended to be perfect. That takes guts. And putting up with stories (a drop of blood on a rose petal is turned into they carry "vials of blood"). Who are they hurting with that? Weird maybe..so what? The tales get taller all the time.
Do you see any other celebrity with their children as much as Angelina??????

Report AbuseWhy is everyone blaming Brad & Angie for what happen to Jenn! Is it possible she(Jenn) have some faults that we don't know about, currently she is the one that can't hold down a relationship and Brad is in healthy ones with kids and all. Something had to been broken in Jenn and Brad relationship for him to actually move on and have a family with someone else. Maybe Jenn didn't want a family and he did. We have all of these what ifs but Jenn don't see to be worrying too much about brad so lets leave it be. Everyone seems to be moving on.
