Brangelina = DONEjalina -- Kaput!

[neatfreak]

People now says it''s untrue...sorry Deco!

jennifer always seemed like a high manitenance PIA to me.

Angelina may have been a bit of a wacko in her earlier days, but no-one can minimize her work on behalf of children.

Brad--all I can say is; SHAVE OFF THIS GOD AWFUL BEARD.

There. I feel so much better now!!!

 

[lauralu]

It may not be true yet....but something must be up the way the rag mags are a buzzin...

It''s true you cannot minimize what Angelina does in the name of children. If only she could get her personal life to look as good. I really can''t see her settling down with anyone. When it comes to her personal relationships she seems all about the thrill a minute more so than the long haul work that needs to take place.

Tough crowd.

I don''t follow celebrity gossip, and they don''t report this kind of stuff on NPR, so I rely on Deco for all of my *really* important news about celebs.

If it is true, I feel bad for them and their children. Divorce is hard, no matter who you are.

She''s weird. It doesn''t matter how great a humanitarian anyone thinks she is.

Her past antics have proven that she''s pretty nearly cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Like sucking face with your own brother at the Oscars? Remember? Wearing your lover/husband''s blood in a vial around your neck? C-R-A-Z-Y.

It was only a matter of time before he said "WTH?" He wasn''t thinking with his head when he went in to this relationship, but at some point even d***kheads become aware of their own stupidity and where it has led them.

Maybe he''s sick of being ''Brangelina''.

If they don''t split now, it''s certainly coming.

As for the kids, well, they never stood a chance at having a normal life. Poor things.

 

[Laila619]

Can''t say I''m even the least bit surprised!

 

[tlh]

yeah, I tend to believe TMZ... so if they said it is "untrue" - that is the news I''ll go by.

I never understood the fascination of Brad and Angelina. I don''t like either of them - he''s a cheater, and she helped him cheat. I don''t think she''s very pretty either (not that that''s relevant to this topic, but I never got what people saw in her). If this is true, I feel bad for the kids. No matter what I think of Brad and Angelina, the kids don''t deserve so much instability and attention or the splitting of their parents.

Okay, so I''m totally in the minority, but Jennifer is a major witch with a b.

I don''t know what Angelina did or what Brad did, but obviously, he wasn''t happy with Jennifer. I don''t think that''s Angelina''s fault. And, yes, she is a bit . . . different, but she is so much more likable, to me anyway, than Jennifer.

Anyway, as far as Angelina and Brad breaking up, I''m indifferent really. I like the kids WAY more than the two of them. That little Zahara is a cutie.

 

[monarch64]

Maybe Brad and Angelina use the Santa Claus? That is a good lesson in morals for kiddies, and it''s almost like a higher power.

I jest.

Anyway...I would like to say that while I don''t really care about him, or her, or their 28 kids, I think that we can get really judgemental about celebrities and the seemingly weird things they do. I would like to provide my future children a stable and consistent environment, but on the other hand, if I had more money than I knew what to do with I would maybe want to live a nomadic sort of existence too. If the world is your oyster then why not take advantage? And if your kids didn''t know any different, i.e. they''ve been traveling all their lives, who''s to say they would even WANT a "normal" upbringing (aka what Americans call normal)?

Some people maybe don''t have the same ideas as far as relationships/marriage/family that the majority does. Does that make them bad or wrong, or mean they''re totally ruining their children? I don''t think so. I think the most important thing is to teach your kids to treat others with respect. You don''t see Brangelina in the tabloids for carrying on, or getting pulled over for DUI''s, etc. like a lot of celebs, so what are they doing that is so wrong? If they don''t want to be married and live in one place with all their kids for the rest of their lives who cares?

i don''t know if i think she''s a b**tch, but i don''t respect her. i don''t know if she was protecting her nice girl image or if she just had no backbone, but i lost respect for her after her first vanity fair interview post-split. she said that she wouldn''t talk about what happened or say anthing negative. instead, she let her close friends do the talking to vanity fair for her and get her story out there. if you''re going to tell your story, tell your story. don''t be a coward and have your friends do it for you while you pretend to be above it all.

ITA monnie. I feel like it's really easy for 'normal' people to judge celebrities but they live in a crazy world that is unlike anything we would deal with. So who's to say what is good for them? Maybe WE wouldn't be interested but that's their perogative.

Honestly for the whole Brad/Jen/Angie thing...it's sad to see any marriage break up but Brad wasn't a 'cheater' before. So, he met someone he liked and he might have done something stupid (maybe, the only thing that was really ever ADMITTED in any publication is that he met and liked Angie and they had a relationship but everyone just assumed the absolute worst immediately)... but he left the marriage and got the divorce and ended up with the gal. Big deal. It happens all the time. I don't think it makes Jen a saint or Angelina a home wrecker or Brad only thinking with his pecker. People don't leave great marriages if they are totally content and HAPPY. There's typically a lot more to it than some woman coming along and tempting a man.

That said, he went on and had a family which is what he really wanted with this woman. I hope for the kids sake that they aren't total imbeciles in how they live their lives and I agree that their lives don't seem half bad. They are always out with the kids and they aren't out partying and being dumbasses like so many other celebs. Some could argue for the kids Angie adopted that what they have now is much better than what they might have EVER had. Some could disagree.

But whatever, it's not my life and I don't wish anyone unhappiness or 'what goes around comes around'... if they are happy then fabulous for them. Who cares if they get married or how many more kids they decide to have. I just hope they do the right thing for their kids which they seem to typically think of FIRST which is more than many parents out there look like they do half the time. I can think of a lot of people who shouldn't be procreating but Brad and Angie aren't 2 of them. As for 'ruining' them, well time will tell.

re Jen...jeez it's been 5 years...people should move on already. I also have heard she's not as sweet as people think and that she is kind of a dramatic martyr. But I don't know her so who cares. I hope she finds her own happiness, she always seems like she's struggling.

PS...all I can judge is that ugly beard thing!!! Brad is such a cutie but wow with that thing I *would* kick him outta bed!

 

[princesss]

ITA with Monnie and Mara. They said it much better than I''d be able to.

There is no religious discussion on Pricescope per the policies.

We would like to keep Pricescope a pleasant place to be and for this to happen everyone needs to abide by the rules.

Thank you!

I agree with PennQuaker. I think the reason that he wasn''t happy with Jennifer is that he really wanted children, and apparently she didn''t. She was around 36 when he left, and she was saying that she still wasn''t ready for kids. If I had been with someone for several years that wasn''t getting any younger & kept putting off the kid discussion, I would probably end the marriage as well - that is a dealbreaker issue. I guess he met Angelina at around that time, and she obviously loves kids, so I think that''s what the big attraction was.

I am also in the minority in that I''ve always really liked Angelina, and thought Jen seemed whiny and high maintenance. I like Brad & Angelina much better as a couple, and hope for their children''s sake that this is more of a pre-nup than a divorce settlement. I think that the two of them are great philanthropists who have done great good in the world, and I respect them for that. I also was raised by parents who made travel a priority in our lives because they thought it was a great part of a person''s education, so I have no problem with the fact that they bring their children to different countries - they are just raising them to be worldly. And I really don''t care if they don''t ever decide to get married. I think that marriage for most people financially protects mothers, but Angelina is probably not going to meet financial ruin if they break up, so they don''t seem to have a realy incentive to marry, unless they want to.
