The People Love Brangelina
I find it so interesting that people either really, really love Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- or really, really despise them.
My experience from writing this blog and chatting with all of you, is that most of you (well, the ones that comment, anyway) are not exactly pro-Brangelina, yet, on last night's People's Choice Awards, both Brad and Angie took home trophies.
Huh!
Brad was named favorite leading man at the ceremony, while his love was voted favorite female action star. The couple were not in attendance to smile for the cameras and thank the peeps for the recognition, and I was actually waiting to hear some "boos" from the crowd when they even mentioned Angie's name on the show, but no. Just claps and cheers.
What's that about? Is the Brangelina fury over?

I'm sure brad and angie are nice enough people but they are no saints and the harder they try to prove this fact the less likable they are. The bottom line is, brad cheated on his wife while he was married and angie had an affair or at least flirted with a marry man. who can respect minds that are that weak where its willing replace moral, respect and empathy for another person's feelings with its own horney hormones.
No one is perfect. Everyone who is hanging the mistakes they made over their heads are hypocrits. Adultery is rampant in this country. In this world. Brad and Jen Aniston obviously had some problems that lead to his wandering and Angie no doubt had and has her own issues. But if any of those who are throwing stones at them can say that are perfect examples of human being, let them step up. If any of those detractors can say they are adopting kids from seriously deprived backgrounds, giving large amounts of time and hard earned money to charities, let them step up. I really want to meet them. i admire the jolie-Pitts. Not perfect humans but who is?
I really wish the media would get over exploiting Brad, Angie and Jen with this BS just to sell readership. Take a look at the truth: the Brad-Jen marriage was doomed and Brad would have been the one to break it off eventually because in that relationship he was "just an actor" and he wasn't being or expressing all that he's really about. Now take a look at the Brad-Angie partnership. That one's the keeper because they both bring out the best in each other and the proof of that is what they do philanthropically, with Brads architecture work, both of them with their blended and beautiful family, etc., etc. 'Nuff said.
It seems that beautiful people (Brad/Angelina) are given more slack than unattractive ones (Prince Charles/Camilla). The same thing goes for the rich and famous.
honestly? I am one of the obviously rare people that could care less. They seem like good, devoted parents and they are, well, HE is, a great actor. She always goes the sultry route which annoys me, but other than that, whatever. I am really tired of hearing about them. let's move on, shall we?
These people, and others like them, are our amusement. They are pretty toys who dress up for us and say things we like to hear. They are professionals at it. They are actors. When they do something "normal" or noble, we feel a kinsmanship with them; a hope that "they are just like us" or "yeah, that's what I would do if I had the....money, connections, time, fame, beauty". When we glimpse their failings, we either attack or sympathize. The Anniston-Pitt-Jolie story is an old one. A generation ago, it was Reynolds-Fisher-Taylor and there will be another to follow this one. Whether, in truth, these people are honest or faithful or patient or kind or intelligent is something we may never know. Nor is it really that important, because they are our toys in a world of make believe. One way they are truly exactly like us is they all have issues; painful situations in their lives they respond to from whatever level of emotional and mental health they have chosen to achieve. But as long as they're pretty, we don't mind that they're broken.
Wake up! People's Choice Awards? That's like winning the prize out of the Cracker Jack box...and, if Angie is everyone's favorite, how come she can't sell her movies to save her life..Changeling barely grossed enough to cover her paycheck..LOL!! The people speak at the box office, not at the award shows...and she hasn't sold a movie to save her life. (the Panda movie sold because it's a cartoon, NOT because Angelina Jolie was a voice in it...LOL!) When the awards start going to people who actually make money at the box office (where the people really show their support), then I'll start believing that these award shows are not "fixed".
I would just like to say that I am as intrigued as I am sick of the Brange pair. They had an affair of the heart, they were attracted, and they went for it. They probably didn't consumate the relationship until the day after the film ended so they wouldn't feel quite so guilty. When you are married you are not supposed to get that close to someone of the opposite sex, because this type of thing can happen. When you have their morals, anything goes. Depending on your moral compass, it was wrong or not wrong. I think what angers people is that they are popular and can express their views so that everyone can hear them. Those of us with morals do not believe in them, and it tears at our heart. I am a Christian, he obviously rejected that at a young age. Our morals are very different. Normal Joe's and celebrities are very different. If you want them to be like you, most of the time they are not. Don't watch them. Ween yourself off of it. That is my best advice.
Too bad the people don't mean squat to the gruesome twosome. They think the peoples choice awards are beneath them, otherwise they would have showed up to show there appreciation. Little do they know that there were not any other movies for there bombs to go up against! Brangelina fans are not the brightest bulbs on the tree...ya know???
No, Brangelina fans are just "Uncool"...
People need to be a fan of their own life with a focus on what is important! Don't be influenced by bad behavior! :-)
All I can say is this couple makes me sick to my stomach and they are nothing more than a poster for adultery. Trying to compensate for her bad family history she thinks she can pay off families for they're kids. Great examples, NOT! She definately controls her man and her family and I don't think they will last as she has deep rooted emotional and psychological problems that no man or children can fix. Also the awards did not have a good sample size to actually get a good study on why they liked them. They are famous and probably pay off people for good reactions.
Whether the haters accept it or not, most of the "people" prefer Brad and Angelina. They are very good actors but Angelina is far better than Brad. Just recently it was said that her movies did TREMENDOUSLY well in 2008. I believe she set some sort of record. (I'm too lazy to google it, but I know it to be true.) While Jennifer Aniston is a nice, sweet lady, she just does not compare to Angelina...in any way, shape or form. Some people would say she isn't a cheater but you only know what you've read. For all you guys know she could've been sleeping around too...it just wasn't with the most beautiful person in the world so there wasn't a scandal. Or she hid it very well. Bottom line is, the better woman won and she happens to be a better actress. End of story.
I'm sorry, but there is no winner in adultery. They are still having to explain their actions.
You can't help who you love! It's time for everyone to get over it! I love Brad and Angelina
For God's sake you morons. How do you know that he cheated???? Yes they may have gotten close to one another whilst working on the same film set, but it DOENS"T mean that they acted (no pun intended!) on it, until a later date.
I found myself in a similar situation, (yes it was also at work) when I decided I'd had enough of my abusive good for nothing husband. During my marriage,I had become close FRIENDS to this other fellow at work, and when I decided my marriage was over our friendship progressed to something more. Regardless of how it may have looked to others at work, my partner had been told we were over (even though he didn't want to except it) before I hooked up with my work mate/friend. This is not cheating! it is moving on in what some may call "Not wasting anytime" And lets put it this way when you have been in a relationship that is going nowhere but down the toilet, you don't want to waste any more time, because you resent the time you wasted on the relationship you've just ended!
Yeah, talk about a pair of role models. NOT!
Yeah, they both seem to be very wild, that's for sure.
They seem to be good parents though, and as far as adopting kids, I would adopt some myself if I had millions of dollars. I can barely afford to pay my my rent every month.
I do remember Angelina being very wild when she was younger, even dating a female. I don't know how much of a role model she can be.
I think that Brad should have divorced Jennifer then moved on with Angelina. I don't believe in audultry at all I don't care what the circustances are. Cheating can be kissing, hanging out, or anything else that involves you spending time with another person while you are married. I think that people would not have been so mad at him if he had of done things the right way. I don't have any respect for someone who does not take their vows seriously. I use to love both of them when i was younger, but now I don't care about neither one of them. I for one think that Jennifer should have won the best female actress not Angelina.
Why would anyone be upset with Brad and Angelina? They are wonderful people doing wonderful things and congrats for them finding eachother!!!! Jennifer and Brad were never going to work or they would still be together period. Angelina didnt take anything that wasnt willing to go and that is the truth. Why cant we appreciate them for what they are? Beautiful wealthy giving people. I hope Jennifer Aniston finds at least half of the happiness and love these too have seemed to find in eachother
