Didn't she and Brad have some thing against marriage? What's all this "the next man I was going to marry" jazz?

queensissy

After my last divorce and ditching that vial of his blood, but before Brad's divorce, I said I was absolutely going to seduce the pants off of him but marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something, that's not a reference to my brother by the way. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn't looking for, easy prey, eye candy, not a real thinker but the best man at the time, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know because at the time he didn't have kids, just a wife, but no kids so I could see that he had father skills, you know because I am real smart. I don't see him as an actor, just the sperm donor. I see him very much as a dad of all these kids we don't have time for, as somebody who loves travel but not shower and loves architecture more than being in movies or faithful to his first wife.

@juniperjenny: Not more of an "Atlas Shrugged", what with Brad being a marine biologist, I mean...architect?

CourageousCoward

Once these two are finished reading the Ayn Rand collection and she understands that he's not Howard Roark the magic will be over.

Too funny. Someone had their Wheaties this morning.

They're like The Fountainhead Lite. Really really lite. And green.

juniperjenny

They're going to age in a most scary fashion. Still, gotta give a man his hobbies...acting takes a lot out of a guy.

Shumina

He is still gross, and that architecture thing, didn't George Costanza pretend he was an architect to impress women? Wow, Bradd Pitt a total looser.

Team Aniston.

Decebal

Those quotes from VF set off images in my mind of Brad scribbling equations on paned-glass windows.

JudgeFudge

Agreed, Ange--lots of us don't see Brad as an actor, either!

dutchtreat

Oversharing is never a good sign of a relationship.

Man. And I was annoyed when Clooney said something like "I consider myself a director before I consider myself an actor." Because, you know, he's the only one.

And here comes Brad Pitt trying to paint a picture of him being, above all else, an architect?

It's a little disingenuous to just proclaim yourself something and expect the rest of us to buy it because that's what it says in the carefully designed and planted magazine story quotes.

But I have an idea, Brad. What you could do, if you're really serious about being an architect, is apply to a really good architecture school (doing whatever brush-up work is required beforehand in case you don't have the background and/or grades). Then study really hard. Apply yourself. Practice. Actually design one or six things instead of — and here I'm just guessing — being the guy at the end of the table asking for a more chilled Pellegrino and saying "Hey, guys? You know what would be cool?"

Then maybe someone besides you would consider you an architect.

But then again, that sounds like a lot of work. And they're not going to pay you millions of dollars to do it. And when you start out in the shallow end like everyone else, no one is going to think what you're doing is special. And what if, after all that, you suck at it?

Plus we all know your follow-through record when it comes to academics. Bright shiny —

Once a cheater, always a cheater. Team Aniston!

SanFranBetsu

It's so cute how they both think pretending to be something is the same as actually being something...thank heavens they got together, sparing two other people a lifetime of bemused eyerolling.

City_Dater

Everytime I hear Angie talk about her and Brad hooking up, I just want to stuff a pita bread smeared with Jif peanut butter in her mouth...

I mean, I know she's all "BDH" (Brad Dick Happy)...but she HAS to realize that what she and her babies' daddy did was truly one of the tackiest things ever to come out of Hollywood...(besides that Wallace Beery, Errol Flynn thing)...

And I'm glad Brad so into architecture (insert snide comment here)....perhaps he can use some of those talents to....I don't know...rebuild his career...

Lala11_7

In Brad's defense, he's actually been into architecture longer than he's been acting. Where he (and I) went to school has no architecture program. So he went into advertising, made it most of the way through, dropped out and drove to LA. The rest is, uh, history.

heidiho

I woke up this morning and decided to be a ballerina. Yea, that's it, I'm a ballerina.

SanFranBetsu

Although I have a B.S. in accounting, I've always been into the human heart. Now, I know I don't have any FORMAL training, but I think I can offer some insight into my ailing father's pending quadruple bypass surgery. Arteries away, veins in. White cells, hemoglobin, sutures, swans, stents... yeah, I think I could offer some insight that MDs just don't have. Acting isn't the same as anything else, as Liz Lemon said to Jack Donaghy, "Any dumb do-do can act."

Aside from that, somewhere outside of Lagos there is a Sorbonne-educated, Unicef worker who is now in tears at the thought of what could've been.

HandsomeBwonderful

Excuse me, did I miss something? When did Brad call himself an architect? Never, as far as I can recall. Being interested in architecture doesn't mean you think you are an architect.

Mary Pickford and Doug Fairbanks - Old Hollywood Royalty -were BOTH married to other people when they met and fell in love. It has happened time and time again, in AND out of Hollywood.

Team Brangelina!

majikthise

@majikthise: Yea, well Eddie Fischer's career didn't do so well when he left Debbie Reynolds for Liz Taylor. They were wrong.

SanFranBetsu

I am not pimp, but I still know a lot about whores. Just sayin'.

Losin_it

@SanFranBetsu: And, to my knowledge, they didn't leverage their adulterous affair to sell movie tickets.

hummingpenguin Also, no poodles

Aw, I think she's gorgeous, and he's no slouch. And both seem to relish their children.

Team Brangelina.

pumpkinsoup

want them and all of their ilk to GO! AWAY!
Isn't there a war or two going on?

lisaraine

So, if they're such noble philanthropists and human rights defender, what the eff is he doing building a hotel in Dubai, which was basically built on the backs of forced Chinese labor/slavery?

lisaraine

@pumpkinsoup: Relish is for hot dogs. Collecting children, (some of who actually have a living parent) can be a cry for the attention from your own parents. Don't believe everything you read.

SanFranBetsu

@lisaraine: He's building a "environmentally-friendly" "socially conscious" luxury resort. You cannot escape from them-he's on the news tonight at some architect event in Switzerland. He's so outta there.
Why do they bother having those children even step off a plane?! the bloom is off that rose-I think they are very, very close to just going away.

moseskitty

Well, I am glad someone knows where his talents lay. For the love of all that is unearthly, how much longer is this Jolie and Pitt thing going to go for. They are getting $15m for their babies, Brad is building houses, Jolie is rescuing babies, she is blabbing to every magazine and she is not saying anything new or interesting, the two of them have conquered Namibia and have now matched into France. Is anybody going to save us because I can't take it anymore? WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN! And the magazines have gone mad, totally mad.

CluelessElaineLui

wow..a bunch of you are obviously stikk upset that Brad left Jen because maybe he wanted to have kids?

akmarksman

Surely that is the first thing you discuss before marrying - do we want kids!
Maybe Jen was lucky to get away!
I would love to see this couple and their kids in a few years time when as teenagers they start asking their parents questions!

gunhilde

C'mon everybody! Architecture is just a hobby of Pitt's. His real goal is his passion...he wants to work with retards.

Cultmember

He tries to be architect-like and she tries to be saint-like. Neither one of them can be too successful at them, no real experience, just pretend-like.

Hanapana

@lisaraine: Hear hear! Bravo!

Road_Rash

@pumpkinsoup
Yeah, we know, we know, they're both pretty.
So...integrity is what? Only for ugly people?

You know what? Ted Bundy was real handsome.

KittyCarlisle

So all you Team Aniston humpmonkeys think your precious Jen would have been happier in a relationship with a man who didn't love her anymore?

Because that would have been the result if he fell in love with someone while working on a film, came home, said nothing, and lived a life choking down his rage and disappointment that she wasn't the one he was really in love with. Mmmmmmm, sounds like a butterscotch kisses teen fantasy to me! Where can I get me one of them dreamy rage-chokin' "relationships?"

All kidding aside, if you make a commitment to someone and subsequently find yourself in love with someone else, are you now required to spend the rest of your life in a loveless box? How fair is that to the person you're committed to? Or is the Angie-hating because you ASSUME they had carnal knowledge of one another before he severed his ties with Maniston?

DCDeva

Shiloh Pitt is a spoonerism! Stop these people before they ruin some other kid's life forever!

fishwife

@lisaraine: i want them to go away too, but in all fairness the war or two going on place is at huffpo, this is defamer, hollywood style, at least it says so at the top of this page here...!
