To answer your question pre-emptively, Tanya, I’ll stop talking about the Brad-Jen-Angie triangle when they stop talking about it.

To promote Moneyball Brad Pitt recently gave an interview with Parade Magazine and had this to say about Jen Aniston:

I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find amovie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself,” he continues. “I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

See.  If they wanted us to drop it they would drop it.  But they don’t.  Even after all of these years, Brad just mentioning Jen’s name caused world wide interest.  What better way to get people to talk about you and your movie than bringing up something that still gets everyone talking?

So was it kind of low class to talk about his marriage that way?  Was he trying to insinuate something?  Apparently not as Brad released this statement the following day:

It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for.

I don’t know what he meant by what he said or what the intention was…but to me, he is saying, I wasn’t happy.  And that is ok I guess.  He is allowed to want to be happy.  Cheating on your wife, though, isn’t ok, even if it is with your future baby mama.  But I also think he has a right to talk about his feels and not be vilified for it.  But maybe not doing it in such a public forum…what did he think was going to happen when he said that?  And because he is so in control of his image I can’t believe that was accidental.

Tanya: First things first: can we please always say “talk about his feels” instead of “talk about his feelings”? I like “feels” better.

Second: I’m on the same page with you here – if he’s going to talk about it, it’s open to talk about. It’s when the subject gets forced that I’m not cool with. Like, when Jen & her new boy are out and talking about themselves and the media are like “obviously Jen misses Brad”.

Third: I really like what Brad says here: “I was intent on trying to find amovie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself” I think that’s really cool that he’s confident enough to say that when a lot of people don’t.

AAAAAHHHHH!  What in holy hell is that?!?!  What is wrong with it?

This wax figure of Brad Pitt is pretty much the scariest thing I have ever seen.  Its weird and creepy.  And it is going to haunt my dreams.

I can’t not look at it.  I think its watching me.

Tanya: Whoa, this is awful. Madame Tussauds needs to fire some people. Their wax figures have been getting worse and worse.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt somewhere promoting Tree of Life, Brad’s new movie which is getting both rave reviews and bad reviews.

Ummmm….

Sorry, but I am not digging their looks.  Together.  Apart.  Its all bad.

I know Angie is always working and has like 17 kids that she takes care of but you would think that she could find time to a) eat something and b) find a stylist because she looks painfully thin and that dress is terrible.  And Brad…maybe it is just the angle of the camera?

Not their best outing.

Tanya: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie looked pretty good in Cannes so I’m not sure what’s up here. I think it might just be a bad angle. Angie is super skinny but her arms don’t usually look like that in pics and Brad’s face never looks like that either. That looks like it’s some sort of Brad Pitt stand-in.

How much does it cost to have kids? Here’s what the Jolie-Pitt’s spent last year:

• $5 million on private jets
• $900,000 on nannies for each child
• $36,000 on food for the kiddies
• $1 million + on private tutors that travel with the family
• $63,000 on birthday parties
• $220,000 on private cars
• $153,000 on activities

OK, so just because you have 6 kids doesn’t mean you have to spend $5 mil on private jets, but it would still be expensive. Guess that’s why they’ve both gotta keep working. That and the fact that staying home with 6 kids all the time would probably drive anyone insane (hence the $90,000 fee for each of the nannies).

Stacey: First of all, I would like to know where these numbers came from…$900,000 for nannies for each child?  That doesn’t make any sense.  But I also don’t have any kids, so what the hell do I know?

Tanya: The numbers come from the Daily Mail. The nanny number is because they are looking for a new nanny and are said to pay $90,000 per nanny (not sure how 90,000 x 6 = $900,000 but I’ll just run with it). $90,000 to hang with the Jolie-Pitt’s sounds pretty awesome, but if you want to be a nanny you have to have a few qualifications:

They will also be required to travel between California, New Orleans and France, as well as other film locations around the world.

As well as a degree in education or child development, Brad and Angelina are demanding the nanny should speak at least two different languages, as well as the native tongues of their children.

Have you ever been to a birthday party where a bunch of kids are whacked out on sugar? I imagine that is what Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie’s house is like all the time. That right there is why you need nannies.

Here’s Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie taking all the kids to a candy store in New Orleans. Notice the giant bag of candy Brad is carrying? I bet that doesn’t get opened until they’re back home and away from the photographers.

Stacey: For some reason, I imagine this house hold being complete and total chaos at all times.  And that all of these kids are

The National Enquirer is usually good for a laugh and this week is no exception. Check this out:

Sandra Bullock is a lesbian.

Charlie Sheen is a zombie.

Angelina Jolie’s kids are going to kill each other.

These photos could look kinda crazy if you believed the headline, but we’ve seen these photos before. Celebitchy rounds up where they’re all from and how non-violent they are. Maddox is chewing his coat, Pax was excited for ice cream and Shiloh was headed to the toy store. Zahara is the only one you’d have to watch out for here and I don’t think she’d be violent – shifty and manipulative maybe, but not violent.

(side note: me saying that is about as factual as the National Enquirer store that they’re crazy violent. Go figure.)

Stacey: Ya, those kids look really violent.  Especially that Shiloh.  Mean looking, isn’t she?  *eye roll*

Although, I love the picture of Charlie Sheen.  It really sums him up well right now.

This is amusing. Some magazine (I think it was OK! but I grabbed this list from I’m Not Obsessed) did a poll on who the most and least desirable celebrity spouses are and this is what they came up with:

Least Desirable Celebrity Husband:

1: Charlie Sheen
2: Mel Gibson
3: Tom Cruise
4: Mickey Rourke
5: Pete Doherty
6: Marilyn Manson
7: David Hasselhoff
8: Ricky Gervais
9: Chris Moyles
10: Wayne Rooney

Least Desirable Celebrity Wife:

1: Amy Winehouse
2: Lindsay Lohan
3: Britney Spears
4: Heather Mills
5: Gwyneth Paltrow
6: Katie Holmes
7: Lady Gaga
8: Madonna
9: Nicole Kidman
10: Sarah Jessica Parker

Most Desirable Celebrity Wife:

1: Natalie Portman
2: Megan Fox
3: Katy Perry
4: Kate Moss
5: Gisele Bundchen
6: Cheryl Cole
7: Christina Hendricks
8: Rihanna
9: Kim Kardashian
10: Kate Middleton

Most Desirable Celebrity Husband:

1: Prince Harry
2: Justin Bieber
3: Robert Pattinson
4: David Beckham
5: Russell Brand
6: Colin Firth
7: Prince William
8: George Clooney
9: Piers Morgan
10: Brad Pitt

I agree with most of the “Least Desirable” spouses list but the “Most Desirable” ones are a bit off. Kate Moss & Gisele Bundchen?? Kate Moss is about as desirable and Pete Doherty and Gisele Bundchen sounds like she takes away your balls once she gets the ring.  As for the men, well, we see the problems right off the bat: Prince Harry and Justin Bieber. Bieber’s balls haven’t dropped yet and Prince Harry would probably be one of those “you’re probably going to see something in the tabloids that looks really bad, but it totally isn’t what it looks like” kinda guys. He’d be fun to date, but I’d say not a desirable husband.

Stacey: Clearly this poll came from somewhere overseas and was filled out by Brits and 12 year olds.  Because people like Kate Moss and Cheryl Cole would not even hit the radar over here.  Ok, Russell Brand over Brad Pitt?  That just doesn’t seem right.

Selma Blair is the latest celebrity to announce that she is pregnant.  Who cares, right?

Remember when celebs announcing they are expecting used to be exciting?  I do.  Because it was only like a month ago.  But now, after the slew of expectant baby mamas this past week, I am all babied out.

So, for the record, I officially no longer care about celebs announcing they are expecting.

With these exceptions:

• Angie and Brad announce they are having triplets and/or are adopting again
• Jennifer Aniston announces she is pregnant.  With any one’s baby (which, it seems, may be the next best thing to do for her career)
• Scarlett Johansson announces she is pregnant with Ryan Reynolds baby (I realize they are broken up…that’s why it would be awesome!)
• Sandra Bullock announces the is pregnant with Ryan Reynolds baby
• Selena Gomez announces she is preggo with Justin Bieber’s man child baby

So unless any of these senarios comes up, please don’t bother me with any more announcements, for I no longer care.

Tanya: Alicia Silverstone is pregnant now too.

Here is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Rome for the premier of The Tourist.

I have to say, Angie, for once, looks pretty good.  The material of her pants is not the most flattering but over all, I think she looks great.

But what about Brad?  Holy Dinah.  He normally does not do it for me but he is a sexy beast in this picture.  Love it.  The scarf, the hat, the whole works!  As the old saying goes….when in Rome.

I know that saying doesn’t really fit here but I just wanted to say it.

Tanya: I agree with Brad Pitt looking pretty good but I’m not feeling Angelina Jolie so much today. It’s not that she looks bad, but I wouldn’t say that she looks great. There is just something about these two that I love. I think it’s the depth – they have so much going on individually and together, and they both have so much personality that I think they’d be really interesting to get to know. I just wouldn’t want to be asked to babysit. Six kids is too much for me.

Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp got their game faces on for the premier of The Tourist in Berlin (their earlier event was a photo call, not a premier). This is what I was talking about earlier. Johnny Depp is wearing a suit (but still no smile) which makes him look like he cares a little more about the movie, while Angelina Jolie is bringing on the charm big time with lots of smiles (you barely even notice her 90s dress with the energy that’s coming off her face) and even Brad Pitt is doing his husbandly duty working the crowd (check out thumbnail 4 below).

Happy, smiley people make other people feel good which probably leads to a positive association of feelings with whatever they’re trying to promote. If these photos were promoting a different movie than the ones they did earlier, I’d go see this movie over the other one because it looks like they actually enjoyed themselves.

Stacey: OMG.  I super hate this dress.  But she looks amazing.  When The Jolie turns it on, no one can resist.  How can you not look at that face?

I love Johnny’s suit.  Although, I also love his pirate look.

I still don’t want to see this movie though.

Is Angie at the point where I can no longer suspend my belief to watch her in a movie and not be acutely aware that I am watching her and not the character?  I think, yes, maybe.
