Their gorgeous, glamorous faces fill the screen. Muscles ripple. Bee-stung red lips pout seductively. (That would be Angelina.) Flash after flash of tantalizing action shots tease and tout the hot new movie, MR. & MRS. SMITH!!!!!
Notso feels ill. The bile rises in her throat. The urge to slowly, painfully destroy Mr. Pitt and Ms. Jolie PIECE BY BLOODY PIECE nearly overwhelms her. It does not take the services of a highly paid shrink to guess that her anger may - just possibly - stem from another source, one outside these two box-office biggies.
Anybody else with me here, or am I the only one?

Why hate them...hate the media that glorifies their relationship. That teaches the masses that A are ok when your famous.
Honestly we have no idea the state of Brad and Jens marriage...
Wow..this recovery thing sucks. Did you know that I feel murdering someone is more humane then cheating on them? The dead don't think about being killed...the BS thinks about the A everyday

Ummm.Am I missing something? From what I have read thus far,it's not clear if Angelina was the reason for the breakup and believe me,I would be just as mad if I really thought she was an OW.I don't think there is enough information personally.And,I just got through reading about her in Vanity Fair and she denied some of the rumours that she was asked about and claims to have 2 "lovers".
I would be more suspicious if we start to see them out and about soon.If there was nothing there to begin with then they have no reason to be with eachother now.

For me, at least, if this were really about Brad and Angelina it would matter to me whether or not they were really having an A. But the biggest eye-opener was how much rage I have rolling around deep under the surface. It's not like me to have an urge to attack flat images floating on the TV screen. And if it's not really directed at them....think, think, think...who could it be???
Whether B & A are or aren't, they represent two things to me: 1)A trigger 2)A target - a safe, distant target - for all my previously undiscovered wrath.

I know this might sound silly but... do not try to swing punches at them at the movie theater, in there the 2D images are way bigger than you, if you have to do it wait untill you are back home and in front of a very small TV, that way your odds of winning are greater. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
P.S. I DO get many urges to be mad at all these cheating celebs, but in the end I just feel pitty for them, or block them out, because the relationships sometimes seem so orchestated, see how this new "relationship" started just as the new movie was about to launch. Do I have to point at the obvious marketing move that the whole Bennifer was?
Someone throw me a map already!

I can relate.....I am unsure of the Brad and Angelina thing, I can only hope it's not true because I really like them both as actors. I saw something on TV where one picture of Brad and Angelina on the beach wasn't even real, they spliced Brad Pitt in.....so it makes me wonder about the validity....who knows.
The reason I can relate is I feel the same way about Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong.....Oh holy crap does that one ever burn my A$$. His wife stayed with him through CANCER, and he left her for someone else? It makes me physically ill when I see them on a magazine or on TV.
So, I DO know what you're talking about.

This is from her interview on Yahoo I just read from today...
In recent days, ANGELINA JOLIE has been taking a lot of heat due to a purported relationship with her 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' co-star, BRAD PITT, while he was still married to JENNIFER ANISTON. Did she really have an affair with Brad? Who is she dating now? Angelina finally gives up the goods in the new issue of Marie Claire -- and ET has a sneak peek at the article, on newsstands nationwide June 7!
"I think the world of him," says Angelina about Brad. "We got on great." But when asked point blank if they had sex, she replies, "Absolutely not ... To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not, could not, look at myself in the morning if I did that."
So, if she's not with Brad, then who is she with now? "I am not dating anybody," says the Oscar® winner. "I think the next man I get involved with would have to become MAD's father, and that's a high bar as far as I'm concerned."
The "Mad" in question is, of course, Angelina's four-year-old son, MADDOX, whom she adopted from an orphanage in Cambodia. In the Marie Claire article, Angelina describes the magical moment she met her son for the first time.
"I met a lot of lovely kids, but there was this one little baby who was asleep," she says. "He was put in my arms, and he opened his eyes and stared at me for the longest time. Then he smiled, and I smiled back, and we both seemed to be cool with each other."
Now the two are inseparable, and Angelina credits motherhood for keeping her life on track. "Having a child was a very good thing for me," she explains. "I realized I could never be self-destructive in any way ever again. You know, it's amazing ... I can't think, 'Well, I'm depressed; I'm going to get drunk, or I'm going to do a drug.' You just simply cannot have those thoughts anymore."
And when she's not promoting her new action film with Brad, in theaters June 10, she's traveling the globe as goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees, a job sparked by Angelina's experience in Cambodia while filming the first 'Tomb Raider' movie. She recently traveled to Ethiopia, leaving her more passionate than ever before to help rid the country and similar lands of economic, environmental and health-related problems.

Please check the dates on Lance Armstrong & Sheryl Crow. I don't believe he met her until his divorce was final. I believe that Lance's wife didn't like playing second fiddle to cycling (somewhat understandable)

On some talk show the question was asked if As hurt the celebs movies or not. The concensus was it helps and that people would want to go see their movies more because of the A. Well, I've always danced to a different drummer. Even before H's A I've hated As. I can't stand Julia Roberts now and won't watch any of her movies. Have no desire to see B & A's movie. Of course MAYBE they didn't or aren't having an A, but PLEASE. If Angelina is an OW do we really expect her to tell the truth? I think it was our little OW when confronted who swore to me she wasn't sleeping with my H. Of course this was after about 7 or 8 months of screwing him. Have we all forgotten how the WS and OP are master liers? I heard Liz Smith say when asked if she thought they were having an A, "Angelina likes to sleep with anyone, male or female." crap, anyone who wears their H's vile of blood around her neck as a wedding symbol, well need I say more.
Oh celeb romances. J-Lo is Med to the dancer. She seperates and suddenly ends up with Ben, but of course they weren't having an A. They split, and she ends up with Marc Anthony, who I believe was Med. Then Jennifer Garner is seperated and ends up with her co-star in Alias. It's true love. Within a year they split and she's with Ben, and they now are in-love. Julia ends up with her cameraman, who happens to be Med. He Ds his W and Ms Julia within about 5 months. But Julia assures everyone she had NOTHING to do with the break up of his M. The only problem with not going to any movies that have actors who are also adulters in them, is my movie choices are getting kind of sparse now.
I also heard Lance ended up with Cheryl after the M ended. Why did I just spend so much time on this? I need to get a life. What I want to know is how do all these celebs find true love every year? It's quite amazing! CV

Have no desire to see B & A's movie. Of course MAYBE they didn't or aren't having an A, but PLEASE. If Angelina is an OW do we really expect her to tell the truth? If she is the OW, she can lie and say she's not. If she's not an OW, she can tell the truth and say she's not. As you may notice, in both cases she would say exactly the same thing, that she's not. So let us suppose for the sake of argument that she isn't having an affair with BP. What is she supposed to say or do to convince you? Have you ever considered how easy it would be for someone to start a rumor that ruins your reputation? It could be a rumor that you are having an affair, it could be a rumor that you used to be hooked on drugs (or still are), it could be a rumor that you are secretly a homosexual and only got married so people wouldn't suspect. How would you disprove it? You cannot prove a negative. Can you account for every minute of your time to prove that the rumor is lies? Even if you could, can you confront every person who hears the rumor with your proof?

I think perhaps that the narcissism required to propel a handsome not naturally gifted 'actor' to stardom probably manifests itself in frequent infideliety and self-reinforcing opposite sex conquests. Also the ease with which betrayed partners can be replaced when you are such must make the decision to cheat easier.
Media types ( Actors/musicians) do seem to take fidelity less seriously on the whole than we poor working slobs.
Just my view though.

Is it just in the UK that we got all those newspaper reports of Brad & Angelina's hotel stay and noisy sex? Or those pictures of the two of them on holiday together with the little boy? Did those not get published in the US?

So I'm not the only one who thinks this B & A think stinks? Too bad for the others in the movie but just the thought of them playing on screen what they were dying t/d off screen makes me sick. It isn't a gimick to promote the movie, it seems t/b 2 CA's who are using their 'other interests' (charity work and children), as a their excuse to have 'something in common'.
Wasn't it Brad a while back who seem to want kids all of a sudden and Jennifer was off partying somewhere in Europe? Hm.... those stories made him look like the good guy but behind the scenes, who was he playing house with? ....hmmmm?!?!?!? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
