This Christmas, Get Into Brad Pitt's Pants!

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:05:00 GMT

Settle down, girls - maybe not his pants, but at least into his t-shirt. Brad Pitt is seen here modeling items from his clothing line for Make It Right, the charity he founded to help rebuild the Katrina-devastated Lower Ninth Ward. All proceeds from the green line, which includes shirts, bags and his ubiquitous newsboy cap, will go towards rebuilding homes.

Besides lending his celebrity status to the cause, Pitt is generously donating $5 million of his own money. So buy your Brangelina fan a t-shirt for Christmas and support a worthy cause. Definitely will be more appreciated than that Chia Pet or those light-up Santa socks.

Brangelina Under Fire: Globe-Trotting Is Bad Parenting, Says Expert

HerBadMother — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:03:00 GMT

So, let's say that you're a mega-rich, uber-fabulous, superstar family that jets around the world making movies and adopting children. Let's say that in that in a span of two years, you've lived in six different countries, and crossed the Atlantic more often than you've crossed a street in any one city. And let's say that although your eldest child is enrolled in school, he's only enrolled in any one school temporarily, and changes schools as often as you change households, which is pretty often.

If all of those things are true, then you're probably the Jolie-Pitt family, and one New York psychotherapist has some harsh words for you:

"(They're) not creating a stable environment outside the family unit," Manhattan-based psychotherapist/social worker Puja Hall told the New York Post. "Maddox is an adopted child, so he already has a sense of abandonment," she said. "Kids that constantly move are like army brats, in that very often they don't want to open up to people. They feel loss, and there is a problem with attachment."

"With the moves, the kids just don't invest in relationships, because they're going to lose them anyway," Hall said. "They think: 'Why bother? I'm not gonna stick around. We're gonna pick up and go, and the loss of friends is painful.' " She added that before Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 16 months, get any older, Angelina and Brad need to decide where to settle down. "It needs to be weighed," said Hall. "At some point, they will have to make some important choices so the kids can form those bonds and keep them."

I don't know. On the one hand, I see her point: kids who move around a lot don't have as much opportunity to form attachments. Sure, they have each other, and their no-doubt doting parents, but the lack of other stable, ongoing social relationships - with friends and playmates and teachers - must certainly be experienced as a loss, even if it's a loss of something that they've never known.

On the other hand: we're talking about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt here, people. They can buy their kids friends.

What do you think?

Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The (Gwyneth) Tree

HerBadMother — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:03:00 GMT

Wow. I would say that Apple Martin is the spitting image of her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow, but expectoration seems the wrong adjective to use in a description of such a gorgeous child, and I've already used my cheesy 'apple-tree' pun in the title. So I'm at a loss for words.

(Photo of Moses after the jump...)

Ditto here. What can one say about such adorable children, other than that they're - wait for it - adorable? Moses is just as cute and just as much a mini-Gwynnie as his sister (tho' I do see a lot of Chris Martin in that hat.)

I don't know. I think that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin might have Angelina and Brad beat for perfect-child-producing-genes. What do you think?

Donald Trump Slams George Clooney and Angelina Jolie

Karen — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:07:00 GMT

Jolie and Clooney may hate each other, but now they are lumped into the "Not Hot" category by the most gorgeous man on earth, Donald Trump. I love this guy. I mean, not only is he the hottest guy I've ever seen, he has the uncanny ability to say whatever he wants in public and he's still a beautiful person, inside and out. Trump told Larry King:

"One of the perceptions I had of George Clooney was he was this big, strong guy. And he was very little when I met him."

He adds of Jolie, "Angelina Jolie is sort of amazing because everyone thinks she's like this great beauty. And I'm not saying she's an unattractive woman, but she's not beauty, by any stretch of the imagination.

"I really understand beauty. And I will tell you, she's not -- I do own Miss Universe. I do own Miss USA. I mean I own a lot of different things. I do understand beauty, and she's not."

He is so right. I mean, look at him. He really knows beauty, as he says. I just want to run my fingers through his hair and kiss him long and hard on the mouth. I want to suck his plump earlobes and whisper hot dirty thoughts into his ear. He's so hot that mere thoughts of him send me into overdrive.

Brad Pitt Says Don't Drink and Daddy

Whit Honea — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 22:02:00 GMT

Brad Pitt has stumbled into the same conclusion about drinking that a lot of parents do, that is a) it's hard to be on top of things when you're slightly impaired, and b) parenting and hangovers have to be the worst combination since Britney and K-Fed.

Pitt says it was a scare with Zahara that had him cut back on the sauce. He was two beers in and she started chocking on some ice, here, I'll let Brad tell you:

“About a year ago I’d had a couple of beers and my daughter Zahara had this piece of ice that had been dropped on the floor, and she was putting it in her mouth and began to choke on it, and that was it.

“You have to be absolutely on top of every situation. The other shit doesn’t work anymore. When they wake up in the middle of the night you have to be there. And you can’t deal with children when you have a hangover - that’s just a misery!”

Preaching to the choir, Pitt. Preaching to the choir.

Speaking of Brad and beer, here's an oldie but a goodie:

Anglina Jolie, Bai Ling and Brad Pitt: How Do You Say, Menage a Trois?

Whit Honea — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:50:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie admits that she is sexually attracted to actress Bai Ling. Bai feels bi too. In fact, Bai has suggested that she would enjoy a manage a trois with Branglina. Hey, who wouldn't?

Says Ling, "I've always thought Brad Pitt was the sexiest man on the planet. So now that Brad and Angelina are together, now maybe I could experience both at the same time!"

That would be a much better tape than this one.

Here's Bai Ling confirming the story. Hey, Bai, how many lovers do you want?

The Jolie-Pitt Train Pulls into Kidville

Whit Honea — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:09:00 GMT

Hey kids, where ya wanna go? Kidville!! Kidville!!

Kidville is a super kid place in New York. Brangelina and their mini-entourage looked to have a pretty good time at the Disneyland of none Disneylands.

I wish they had Kidville in L.A.. All we have is crackville and some sound stage where they film Kid Nation. The closest thing we have is the ball-crawl at IKEA. That's lame. I guess we do have the actual Disneyland, which is cool.

Save The World: Adopt Brad Pitt

Sharon Osbourne wants to adopt Brad Pitt. “I would adopt him any day," she said at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Benefit on Tuesday. "Forget the babies, I’ll have him. I’m such a dirty old cow.”

No word on how Angelina took this news, but I'm guessing that she'd be pretty laidback about the whole thing. What does she need Brad for? He just takes up space in that big family bed, and he probably nags her for sex all the time. There'd be more peace and quiet and room for more adoptees if he moved into Sharon Osbourne's house. And he could help Sharon take care of her little dogs, and Ozzy could probably use the company, too, now that Kelly and Jack are off doing their own thing. Sure, Sharon seems a little a pervy, but it's not like she's got knives and girls stashed in the bedroom closet. Brad can handle her.

It's kinda win-win, doncha think?

Brad Pitt Has Two Achilles Heels

Whit Honea — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:31:00 GMT

I have found the proverbial chink in Brad Pitt's armor. The guy may be close to perfect, but he has one flaw. He can't dance. Ha! That'll teach you Brad Pitt!

Pitt recently told People, "There's a lot of dancing around the house, a lot of music time. We hope they're not soaking up our moves because they'd be seriously lacking in their future. We'll get them some proper training."

I hope the people at the UN don't know about this.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Should Just Adopt Us All and Get It Over With

Whit Honea — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:08:00 GMT

Brangelina can do no wrong. Seriously, they're like robots that can only do good. They put 25 hours a day, eight days a week, into doing the right thing. I am constantly amazed at how much they do, and in comparison, how lazy and shallow my life truly is. Wow. Give me a moment...

Okay, I'm better. Thank you.

Here's what Brad and Angelina have going on today: Not only are they both promoting new films, raising a family, adopting a kid, watching a dog, and filming new movies, they are also speaking to the U.N. (twice) and the Clinton Global Initiative in hopes of gaining support for the charities and movements they are involved in. That's just today. What did you do?

Me? I drank a pot of coffee and held a washcloth to my kid's bloody nose. If I do that for Brad will it make me a better person?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Thought She Was Pregnant

Whit Honea — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 23:29:00 GMT

Brangelina thought they had one in the oven, but apparently it was just a false alarm. According to TWN:

Sources also claim doctors told the couple that Jolie would have to gain weight before she would be able to conceive again. “Ange is desperate to get pregnant again, but doctors say she is just too thin,” an alleged friend of the couples added. “She convinced herself she was already pregnant, so she was heartbroken.”

Angelina Jolie was reportedly devastated when doctors told her she was not pregnant. Sources say Jolie was sure she was pregnant with her and Brad Pitt’s fifth child, but when she went to the doctor they told the couple they were not going to have another baby.

I don't think she needs to gain that much weight, even at nearly transparent she's still twice the size that Nicole Richie was and she pulled it off. So I guess this was just a piece of corn and they can book that flight to Burma.

Burma, baby!

Road to Burma: The Jolie-Pitt Adoption Train Rolls On

Whit Honea — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:30:00 GMT

Brangelina is eying Burma for the next piece, a little girl, to add to their rainbow coalition.

Apparently they have enlisted the help of a monk to arrange safe travel through the military state to visit an orphanage. Angelina Jolie is, as you know, a thinking man's Mother Theresa and is starting to grow more and more despondent about the effect she is having in the Third World. According to the Daily Mail, she feels that "she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative.

"She wants to step up her action in what she calls Red Alert areas, the most seriously troubled, war-torn areas in the world.

"She's in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly."

Looks like it will be business and pleasure. She'll go and do what she do, what with the helping and what-not, then she can just swing through the duty-free shop on the way out and grab the baby. It's a win-win.

Madonna should take notes.

Angelina Jolie Dishes Mom Advice to Nicole Richie

Karen — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 12:02:00 GMT

Rumor has it that Angelina and Brad have been son concerned about Nicole Richie's past party days affecting her baby, that they've been dishing advice to the young mom-to-be (and wife-to-be). A source close to Angelina said...

“With Nicole finally getting her life of drugs, booze and wild partying under control, Brad and Angelina have offered her a list of common-sense tips they felt would help. Angelina was especially concerned about the effects Nicole’s years of partying could have on the baby.”
“And knowing that Nicole has so much hanging over her, including a stressful court-ordered probation after her conviction for driving under the influence, Angelina felt she could use some help from another young mom.”
Supporting the story, a close friend of Nicole's reporting Richie as saying, “Angelina is like a surrogate mother – albeit a beautiful one who’s nearer my age. But she has so much experience as a mom. She’s my guardian angel – and so is Brad.”

You gotta give Nicole some credit - she really has separated herself from the party circuit and she looks like she is taking care of herself. Britney could learn a thing or five.

The Brad Pitt Seal Of Approval

Mary-Louise Parker just adopted a daughter from Africa, and Brad Pitt approves. "She's a great mother," he says. "I think that (adoption) is a great idea!"

Of course he does. Adopting African children is hotter than driving a Prius or hanging with Al Gore. But I'm betting that he'd much prefer to get his own next child the traditional way. A guy can only save the world so much before he needs to get his rocks off.

Angelina Jolie: "I've Only Slept With Four Men In My Life!"

HerBadMother — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:03:00 GMT

Wow. That would make her, like, practically a virgin.

If it were true. Which, ha.

Let's do some counting. Angie cites Jonny Lee Miller, Billy Bob, Brad and some "nameless man" as her four. But if you factor in her own reports a few years back of casual sex with male friends and arranging hotel encounters with lovers so as to keep her sex life separate from her family life as a single mom, you gotta figure that the number is much, much higher than four. And I know that she's not counting those bisexual relationships, like the one with Jenny Shimura, but keeping those off of the tally kind of skews the result, don't you think? Oh yeah, I've only ever had sex with four different people - not counting the ones whose names I can't remember, and also not counting the half-dozen women that I went down on.

We believe you, Angie, we really do. Now, where's that bridge you wanted to sell us?

Angelina Wants Another Baby

Karen — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 13:03:00 GMT

Mom to 4 already, Angelina Jolie told OK! she wants another baby and that "she's finally warmed up to baby Shiloh," former proclaimed "blob" in Ang's life.

You know, I know she apparently said that about Shiloh, but gimme a break - the paparazzi really needs to chill. I've called my kids "spawn," "monkey toads," "offspring" and "little shits."

I think if she is a good mom to those kids, which she really seems to be, than being called "the blob" as a kid isn't going to land Shiloh a book deal to "Mommy Dearest 2: Jolie-Pitt's on Safari."

They are also thinking about moving to Manhattan: the Concrete Safari, because, according to Angelina, "everyday there is a new exhibit or something else to try." Why not?

Brad Grabs Angie's Ass, Grunts 'Make More Babies'

HerBadMother — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 14:03:00 GMT

Ass-grabbing has been, since the beginning of time, a tried and true courting ritual. What better way to say "I want to make babies" than to grab a fistful of your beloved's buttcheek and squeeze?

All of which is to say, I'm guessing that we can take the evidence of the above photographs to mean that Brad and Angie will acquire their next baby the traditional way. Unless, that is, butt-squeezing is actually Jolie-code for "let's adopt!", in which case Brad's gonna lose that gettin'-me-some happy face real quick.
