The kids obviously would benefit from that, and going to a real school instead of having tutors traveling with them - hey, they could make real friends and do normal kid stuff. And then B & A, they just looked permanently exhausted. I saw an interview with Brad a year ago and he was so out of it (maybe bc he was high but who knows) - he had just come back from Asia or somewhere and didn't know what day it was. No doubt this added to their stresses


I agree, their lifestyle was chaotic and not sustainable. I even think they are having financial troubles; they used to travel private everywhere but the last couple of years it's been all commercial. 6 nannies, bodyguards, chefs, drivers, tutors, and assistants start to add up over the years.


This is why I think Brad wants to get back to work - to bring in money. But there have been reports over the years that she doesn't want him doing anything that doesn't include her and she doesn't want to take up work that keeps her away from the kids, AND they can't keep dragging them around everywhere. No win situation.

Everyone's looking for a way to blame Brad, but I think he's more likely to be the rational person in all this who's put up with a lot over the years.


I definitely read some gossip on Jezebel/Gawker (yea I know) that Angelina spends a lot (shopping and donating to charity). Brad is wealthy but maintaining 6 kids and a full entourage adds up; he's not a billionaire. Plan B is a money-maker for him and he should keep it up; he has an eye for producing and that will keep the dollars rolling in.


She's worth 200 million dollars without his additional 240 million. I think she is doing okay without his money. And who the frack cannot avoid to leave the life of sheer luxury on a combined net work of 440 million dollars.

US Weekly is reporting there was an "incident" last week:

“The final divorce decision was only made one week ago,” the insider tells Us of Jolie Pitt’s resolve to permanently part ways with Pitt, 52. “An incident took place and prompted [Angelina] to act and file.”

Today I am so happy for Jennifer Aniston.


Seriously why?

Only a really nasty person would be joyous that the parents or six children are divorcing.


Oh give it a rest. It is gratifying on some level when an unfaithful husband and the other woman in an affair end up getting divorced after all. Karma at its finest. No harm in stating the obvious.


Uh you realize Jolie and Pitt didn't carry on some long illicit affair right? It was all over the tabloids before this that Aniston and Pitt were having trouble. He meets Jolie and very soon after he divorces Aniston.



In some ways it is karma. Jolie also came between Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thorton. What goes around comes around. I feel bad for the kids, but not for Angelina.


She has also grown up, become a mother and an ambassador.



Sorry, don't see it. To me, she still looks nuts.


Agree. Think she just had phenomenal press/PR folks. Everyone seems to have forgotten what a complete nutjob she was, and the things she said and did. (The vials of blood?) Just because she started dressing like a lady doesn't mean she became one. BTW, that was Brad's influence, he did the same with JA--that's his taste in clothing. She dressed like a freak before.

And she's nuts. She's admitted to cutting/self-mutilation, had mental health and substance abuse issues (heroin), etc. Doubt she'd flip a lid over Brad smoking pot.


+1 Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten about her heroin use, bisexuality and mental health issues. I doubt pot smoking and hygiene issues are what put her over the edge. Likely she couldn't take getting a taste of her own medicine and being cheated on.


So you think cutters, people with mental illness and substance issues should ALWAYS be judged on that and can never overcome? That its awesome that karma bite them in the ass?

What a lovely person you are.


Are you brain dead or just lack basic reading comprehension skills? I agreed that it's unlikely his use of pot and alleged poor hygiene were catalysts for this divorce given her own sketchy background. I think it's valid to say that anyone with those issues in their history would not then use those same issues as a reason to divorce someone else with the same issues unless they were a complete hypocrite. What an ignorant person you are.


Oh I understood you just fine.

They've been separated since September 15. Today's the 20th, that's not a lot of time to work things out after separating.

It's just hard to feel sorry for the woman who broke up someone else's marriage because she was a sexy sex goddess. I feel bad for their kids, and I'm glad Jolie rehabilitated her image, but I'm not upset for her when she had so little compassion for the other woman by the way she paraded Pitt and her pregnancy around after the breakup. Sorry not sorry.

And which one was married to Jennifer A? Which one made a vow to Jennifer A? And Jennifer A also had no problems dealing with a man who was otherwise unavailable. I do give you that JT did not put a ring on the finger like BP did with JA.

You either aren't very bright or you aren't very worldly. When people overcome that kind of background, they are usually vehemently opposed to their spouse indulging in it. Children of alcoholics frequently have no tolerance for a spouse who drinks. Children of deadbeat dads have no tolerance for dads who don't take care of their children. People who overcome addictions don't tolerate other addicts in their lives.

That's not hypocrisy. That's wisdom gained through hard experience.

I don't have sympathy for "the other women," but AJ didn't break up anyone's marriage. Brad is the one who broke his vows, and HE broke up his marriage. Or do people just write off men as incapable of having self control or ethics?

We don't know their actual net worth (and their cash on hand) and most of these celebrities and athletes go broke because of their spending. It happens all the time.

That may be so. And perhaps the reason for the breakup. There have also been rumors for months about how they've been fighting. Fighting about his cheating, fighting about her weight loss.

As someone said upthread, this isn't an amicable split. Poor kids, they really didn't have a normal life, and they get a tabloid-cover divorce.

Agree. I'm not a huge Angelina fan but she's not responsible for Brad's behavior. The person that makes the vows is the one that breaks the vows if they cheat, not the AP.

My my, how narrow-minded you are. You're assuming she wasn't partaking also. Have you seen her lately? She's no thicker than a blade of grass and hasn't been for some time. Why do you suppose that is?

You might not know, but Forbes knows. It's listed.
