...and saw Brad Pitt on the bed, rubbing the back of their pretty young nanny.

Brad: but babe, she understands me and my agent is talking to her agent about making a movie together called "Mr. and Mrs. Jones"...

Well I for one hope its not true. Whatever the accurate account of his marriage breakdown with Jen Aniston, there are a lot of kids who stand to be very hurt by the breakdown of this relationship.

The breakdown of this "relationship" is inevitable.

Is it a 'relationship' or is it a 'publicity stunt'?

You mean he's doing it to her? But he LOVES HER!

He would never never do that to her, they are soulmates!

Well, if it was a publicity stunt, it was a remarkably fecund, prolific, and fertile one! :MrEEk:

Maybe it was like what some x/WSs do...

They go "see look I'm investing SO MUCH in this, we are so in love!" and then..well...

I'm reminded of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

She protested a flirtation of his, and was told to close her eyes and put up with it as her betters had done.

She was brought up from that place, and could be put down just as easily.

I apologize for going on like that, I have a fascination with Elizabeth I in general and the circumstances leading to her birth, including Anne's introduction.

How lovely. Angelina, like Anne, felt entitled to be enraged at what she herself had done.

Yes, an "illicit" relationship where it began at the expense of an innocent betrayed spouse, then moved to conceiving & adopting children left and right without taking vows thereby promising fidelity, not that they would ever be able to live by them anyway.

They're two immature, irresponsible and incredibly selfish adults. Unfortunately for the poor innocent children involved, this is a train wreck waiting to happen. It's a matter of time.

Proves (again) that it doesn't matter WHO your partner is. If you keep that attitude of entitlement, you're gonna blow it apart. Over and over and over again.

It's about attitude. Ya need a grown-up one.

Isn't that how it always is. They think they're "special". And they see their adultery as something thats magical, fate, meant to be; loosing all sight of any decency. Then they're outraged when it happens to them forgetting they volunteered for it.

I find the Jolie/Pitt situation one of the worst, only because they are dragging so many innocent lives into their mess.

They're making beds in a burning house.

Not that it's even worth the time to care, but I do wonder why these two (Jolie/Pitt) haven't gotten married.

Anyone have speculation on that one?
