Everyone else in the world can put thier two cents in on Brad’s decisions, but he gets raked over the coals when he honestly answers an interviewers questions about his own life? Why are tabloids, Entertainment Tonight, and the general public more qualified to talk about his experiences than he is? For the most part, he’s been pretty tight lipped throughout all the controversy, never said anything disrespectful about his ex or aired all the dirty laundry of his divorce, unlike some less classy celebs (That means you, Christie Brinkley). Maybe his answers don’t fit our image of what we want marriage to be, esp. when you’re rich and beautiful, but he’s just being honest. He doesn’t sound to me like he’s trying to justify himself to anyone or unduly hurt Jen. The man has probably been asked about this a gazillion times by reporters, and this once he offers some insight in to what happened. People grow apart and break up-it happens. He became attracted to Angelina before announcing his seperation in a failing marriage, but I think the point he’s making is that he still felt a responsibility for the seperation to be mutual, to ensure that there wasn’t the hope of improving things, and to let it end on it’s own terms before moving on. That’s really not the worse crime agaisnt humanity I ever heard…people talk about him like he’s the embodiment of all that is evil in the world. When, in fact, he’s doing a lot of good works. So, some people question his sincerity, think he’s pretenionious and phoney, whatever. He puts a lot of time and energy into this stuff for someone whose faking. I don’t think he’s implying that Jennifer was not “deep” enough to apperciate these causes, he’s just talking about his own goals and values and the ways he wants to make a difference. And if some good comes out of it, why knock it? He has the money and the status to do a lot and raise awareness. He’s not half as annoying to me as Alec Baldwins and Tim Robbins of the world who can’t understand that they are not in an elected office. Also, all those who pity Jen-she probably doesn’t want the pity. It implies she’s pathetic, and I don’t think she is. She’s simply a woman whose been through a divorce. Making her out to be a victim all the time and identifying her solely with her failed marriage really is kind of patronizing. The media and public could really show thier in her corner by letting her move on with her life and not throwing obnoxious headlines about how she’s still pining for Brad out. It does her a disservice and she never asked to be the poster child for cuckholded women everywhere (besides we don’t really know the extent to which she really was, nor is anything that really makes any difference in any of our lives). I think, really, this just hits on peoples own insecurities, fears, and resentments more than they actually give a crap about Jen’s feelings. She’s rich, beautiful, moving on with her life…she doesn’t need your pity. As for Angelina…..she’s also rich and beautiful and Brad obvioiusly loves her, so move on already.

Brad talks about his life before and how it had no meaning and was doing nothing with himself, but he looks more dead now than he ever did. He looks like he’s had the energy sucked out of him. I bet he would give anything to just sit by himself sponging on the couch like he did a few years ago. He is very disrespectful to Jen by acting like the marriage was some kind of tortuous hell hole with no meaning. Shame on him. AND for the dopes that like to remind everyone of Jen’s interview in Vanity Fair… let me say this : that women had EVERY right to address some of the questions concerning her divorce, especially with all the speculation surrounding brad’s infidelity! No matter how much she loved him and wanted to believe him, he was making it hard for her to completely believe he didn’t cheat. WHY the hell do you think she stated that he was missing a sensitivity chip!? It’s b/c his actions were speaking alot louder than his words. Moving in with his girlfriend, giving her kids his last name, posing on magazine covers with her, going on vacation with her and her son… all within months of separation and divorcing. It’s no wonder Jen felt the need to make her voice known. She deserved to defend herself. Since he obviously never did.

Bravo for Brad for getting out of a fruitless marriage. Jennifer Aniston, the biggest FRAUD in Hollywood, pretended to be a “girl next door” who pretended to want a family all the while smoking away and getting horrible movie roles one after the other, ignoring her own marriage. Bono said that while they were married, he went to the Pitts talking about saving Africa. While Brad was all for it, Aniston never showed a shred of interest.

Angelina has been an active philantropist before Brad met her. She adopted before he met her. Also she had an Oscar already. Angelina embodied everything Brad was aspiring to in life.

Aniston should be grateful her ability to still get any job is not because of her own merit as an actress, but because she is ex-Mrs. Pitt. Otherwise she is on the same boat with Kudrow, Perry and all the rest. What’s the use, she has been cashing in on this from the day one of their split.

I have absolutely no respect for Brad! He needs to just stand up and be a man and just admit he was wrong! He was in lust with Angelina, knocked her up and felt obligated to stay with her and the baby. He knows he is and was wrong, it’s just his pride standing in the way. The great BRAD PITT could just never be wrong. He wants to save face but actually he looks and sounds like an idiot! I know he regrets what he has done and I bet you he wishes he never got involved with AJ! Grow up Pitt, be a man and admit you were wrong!

jen doesn’t care about anything except smoke, get tan, dress up to premier and award shows, drink margarita and eat mexican food. all her movies bomb. any movies that made box office were because of vince, ben and jim were in them. she can’t carry a movie alone. derailed, bomb humor has it, bomb and friends with money, bomb. she will always be rachel green.

I don’t want to say anything bad about jen because I truly believe that she still loves brad and brad still loves her (as friends) because how can they not still care for each other after being with each other for seven years. so, i do believe what jen and brad said when they said nice things about each other. shit happens. life goes on. you trolls keep making jen the victim. did it ever occur to you that maybe brad and jen never meant to be together. But, since you troll keep bashing brad and angie I decided to trash jen.
