The 'Curious Case' of Brangelina

Posted on December 2, 2008

Brad Pitt hit the red carpet last night at the New Orleans premiere of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" -- and opened up about the security guard scuffle he was involved in last month.

"Do we need to clear the air?" Pitt asked "Extra" of the incident. "I don't know what it looked like -- I'm not sure what he was doing. He wasn't trying to keep the guys out that shouldn't have been there."

Nosy photogs seem to be one of Pitt's pet peeves. The father of six unleashed his frustration about the shutterbugs on "The Today Show," saying, "Let me be very blunt -- I hate these people. I have no respect for these people, I do not like them, and I don't understand how they can live their lives that way. ...We've got to make the distinction between people who photograph you at events, and people who climb over your walls wearing camouflage -- calling out your kids' names as you're trying to take them to school."

A mustached Brad told "Extra" he was trying to make a style statement with his facial hair. "I don't think stashes are respected enough," Pitt said, laughing. "It's political. It's a political statement."

The beautiful Angelina Jolie was also on hand to support her man, speaking only to "Extra," exclaiming, "I'm very, very proud." When asked if she had a nice Thanksgiving with her brood, Angie responded, "Yeah, we did. Wonderful. We all did chip in." Does that mean dad Brad helped with the cooking? "It wasn't me, but we ate like kings," revealed Brad.

Brad and Angie fell in love with the Big Easy, and bought a house in the French Quarter a couple years ago. Pitt has also devoted time and energy to his Make It Right Foundation, which has rebuilt homes for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Fine for couple to separate if no kids, involve. Even without AJ in their life. Both can not fix their relationship. Still end in divorce. This is America. But if you find the right partner in life and know how to take care, the marriage will last forever. Brad and AJ are happy, and have a big family that keep the relationship stronger, for they are both truly devoted parent to their kids,and good example. all they need is to get married. Have a happy life and pray for peace all over the world.

There is TOO MUCH coverage of Pitt/Jolie,these entertainment shows should show focus more on hollywood couples gotten together when they weren’t married or dating someone else before the did a movie together and end up together cause that what happen even with the number of yrs he waited to tie the knot,he ends up being like MOST Hollywood and Normal guys with cheating on his wife(J.Anisten)with doing that Mr&Mrs Smith movie with Jolie, and that sends a WRONG message to kids who might look up to either of them on how they got together, and Proves that No matter how good looking guys are, that guys think more with their private area then their brain espically hollywood ones and thoses that run for a goverment spot with all the cheating though out the past 3 decades that was on the news and entertment shows like Trumps cheating in the 80’s,and Clinton cheating in the 90’s and Pitt’s cheating, it goes to show that Most of the men in the world are Scum and why guys and ladies even get married unless they know the other person is going to be TRUELY faithful makes No sense.
