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 AbuseBrad fell for Angelina because she is a humanitarian and has a bunch of kids. Without those things she would just be an anarexic bug-eyed wierdo. She admitted she had a bad childhood and use to cut herself when she was a teen, which is a serious thing and shouldn't be taken lightly. But then she though she was a lesbian for brief time and use to carry her ex-husband's blood around her neck. Brad, she's not wounded anymore, she's a pyscho!!!!! And you fell for it!!!!!

Report AbuseI agree that not judging anyone in this matter unjustly. I like all three of them as actors. What they do in their personal lives are of their own choice. I just pray that Jennifer will be as happy as Brad is with Angellina Jolie with a partner that gives her joy.

Report AbuseI think she is overated big time. She is an actress...she adopted in the first place to fulfil her needs. Now she is made into a god. Our society is so screwed up. She is ok but she is just a woman who hooked up with another famous actor. She won't even marry Brad what does that say for her real morals? She is no role model that is for sure

Report AbuseI agree with reality now all the way. I mean just because someone does a movie together and they are attracted to one another, I don't think they will be automatically rolling around like teenagers. I mean Brad Pitt has always been an exceptional guy in my book. From the way he carries himself and his demeanor about life in general. So I think he probably realized he had more room to grow as a person with Angelina than with Jen and so they got a divorce. I see nothing wrong with that at all. I don't see Angelina as a homewrecker or a saint really. But I can tell she is a woman that knows what she wants and does what is necessary to get there. As much as I think Jenn is a very nice and humble woman in hollywood, I have to admit she seems to be coasting on status as a star like a few other celebs do. I mean I don't really think I have seen her give back enough to the community at all. I mean they really have to catch her on her way to a preimiere of a movie or something and ask what organizations she is participating with, and she always seems to get this look to me where she has to think about one real quick. Or be thankful her friend Courtney Cox Arquette gave her a special bracelet from some event, so she has something to talk about. As I said before, I like Jenn, but it really seems like she isn't about much of anything really.
And I second the notion that no one can take any man or woman away from you. I mean its not like that person gets clubbed over the head and is dragged off. They are very much awake and have made whatever decision they felt is best for them at that time. So no man or woman is a homewrecker that way.

Report AbuseI love Angelina and Brad and Jennifer for that matter. I'm not one to make judgements on thos eI don't know personally and DO NOT believe everything I read. I do think Brad and Jen had issues before Angie came along and I don't think they would be together today even if she hadn't. There we all kinds of rumors and atricles about thier split back then... But we don't know any of that for sure. From the pics we see and the articles we read I think Brad and Angie deserve to be happy and seem to make each other very happy and that's enough isn't it? All that AND the fact that they seem to be really good loving parents to those kids... Why should anyone judge that or say it's wrong by any means? Get over it people and let them live their lives... Jen included.

Report Abusejojo, you dont HAVE to be married in order good morals, kids and be happy with someone, that you love.... you CAN be in a committed relationship and NOT be married and thats what they choose to do... and you cant sy angie doesnt have good morals because she not married to brad. did brad propse to her at all since they have been together? but keep in mid brad was married to jen and maybe after that he decided that marraige WAS NOT for him, and he just wanted to be in a commited loving relationship.... that is possible... trust me there are alot of people out there that DO have kids arnt married and are in loving commited relationships with thier dad or mum, do they also have no morals because they arnt married and have kids? as long as they are both helping to raise their kids, and not beining slacker party parents like brittney and k-fed, its all that matters.... also if ya aint noticed that since angie started adopting kids the adoption rate has gone up... :)
