I am going with the theory that Jolie asked for sole physical custody so she could move the children around whenever and wherever she wants without Pitt's consent. Just look at all the DCUM threads from divorced parents who have this issue arise (I want to relocate for a new job, or I want to move closer to my extended family, or I want to move to a better COL area or my ex spouse wants to move because of......) and how often this problem occurs and how complicated it can be for regular people living regular lives. As my divorced BFF says, she's land locked, can't move until the kids are 18. So considering how transient the Jolie/Pitts are, moving from location to location and homeschooling the kids, the only way Angelina can continue this model without getting consent from Pitt each and every time is via sole physical custody. But I think this will back fire. It is a very hard burden to prove and meet, especially if the other parent contests it which it sounds like Pitt will.

Page 6 is reporting that Jolie's private investigator discovered the affair with Cotillard and that's when she filed. But of course this is all about a parenting disagreement.

Assuming the rumors aren't true, Brad really should issue a statement clearing Marion Cotillard. She doesn't deserve to have her name dragged through the tabloids merely because she appears in a movie with him.

Dragged through the tabloids? This is free publicity, dummy. No such thing as bad publicity.

This.

And you know how many friends she has because you run in her circles?

Have 10 seats, losers.

Oh, disgusting. I hope he has better taste and better sense.

Pitt and Taylor Swift

Lol. I think that Brad is going to play the field for a while. He will soon be free of the ball and chain and he is going to enjoy flaunting that freedom.

Pitt and Katie Holmes. They will make beautiful children together.

Katie Holmes has apparently done better for herself. She's rumored to be with Jamie Foxx.

Being with a balding, promiscuous rumored bisexual is better? This makes me wonder if she really is lesbian because she seems to have a thing for bearding. What is she getting out of it if she is not herself gay?

If Jolie doesn't believe in correcting the kids or setting up rules for them and lets them run wild in fast food restaurants etc., and never suspects them of lying even though she has teenagers, she sounds like kind of an awful parent. Kids do need structure.

From the crazy stuff Jolie was doing in her youth -- all the drugs, being so "in love" with her brother and kissing him on the lips at award ceremonies, cutting behavior with her first husband Johnny Lee Miller and wearing Billy Bob's blood around her neck, falling in love with Billy Bob and Brad so quickly, only eating a plate a fruit a day all day (?!) -- she sounds like she might be bipolar like a lot of artistic people are, and may even have sex/love addictions besides drug addictions.

I'm surprised she would have filed for sole custody the kids giving Brad only visitation because that seems like an invitation to Brad to start spilling secrets on her which I'm sure he has, just like she surely has secrets on him. Maybe she thinks he's too Midwestern and honorable to play dirty with her (as she seems to be ready to play with him since she's going to have to justify why she's not asking for 50/50 but sole custody). I guess Jolie has seen Pitt not play dirty in the tabloids with Aniston -- he has only made hurtful statements out of stupidity, it seems, 'cause he is missing a sensitivity chip, and not because he meant to hurt Aniston's feelings -- and she expects she will get the same consideration from him. Even though she has fired the first shots.

Maybe Pitt will play nice, for the sake of the kids. But it doesn't seem likely that he will give her 100% control of the decisions for the kids without a fight. He doesn't sound that detached from family life.

Agreed, if they didn't have an affair this is horrible for Marion. If Brad has any respect for her he should issue a statement.

Oh, please. They both know it's fantastic publicity for the movie.

It's not always. Sure, Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a huge hit, but Proof of Life where Meg Ryan had an affair with Russell Crowe flopped.

Clooney said he had no idea---but he kept getting his weird smirk/half-smile on his face while he was responding.

Isn't that always how Clooney looks?

Touche!

Clooney liked Jen. I had long read that none of Pitt's friends liked Angelina. Pitt and Clooney were friends for decades.

I thought he was just trying to excuse himself from the interview while still being polite, not smirking. I thought his answer was a good one considering he was supposed to be talking about something completely different and then was hit with this question.

How do you know that? She could have just regular people friends.
