So I went to King's this morning to pick up a few things and, while I'm waiting on line, I can't help but notice Angelina Jolie's face is on the cover of just about every magazine at the checkout! It's all about the baby, when it's due, what's its sex, will she and Brad Pitt get married or won't they, blah, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseum, ad infinitum! I just want to say: WHO THE F*** CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank you. I feel a little bit better now. Will feel a lot better when they just GO AWAY! | ||

Cynical Girl and I beg to differ. This is monumental stuff..... | ||

You'd think she invented pregnancy the way they're going on and on and on about this whole thing! I generally don't pay attention, but I couldn't get away from it. Maybe I just don't shop until after the divorce? That is, if they actually get married! | ||

"WHO THE F*** CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Borrowing one of your lines, obviously you care if you took the time enough to post about it. Right? | ||

Oh, these things happen all the time. Its a reflection of popular culture, I guess. Look at that whole Monica Lewinsky thing... I mean hell, JFK laid more pipe in the oval office than the entire Steamfitter's union but you never read about THAT, right? When they go away, someone will be right there to take their place. It may not be pregnancy, but it'll be something rather inane. | ||

Who cares? Readers of People want to know what Jennifer Aniston thinks...maybe she cares. It really is ridiculous. | ||

She and Brad and Angelina are laughing all the way to the bank. Their publicists are having a field day. Their egos are getting stroked at every turn. | ||

don't get me going...the obsession with celebrity in this country is embarrassing. | ||
| slipknot (slippy) Citizen Username: Zotts Post Number: 236 Registered: 7-2004  |
Personally I feel the same about Sports, I could care less and yet there is apparently a market out there for that, which evidently draws revinue, so while I don't like it I also don't pay attention to it and it wont bother you. As for an obsession about celebrity, perhaps if we had better icons and dare I say heroes to look up to an admire we wouldn't spend some much time on people who can barely even perform their supposed job (i.e. acting). By the way anyone want to buy a $250 ticket to Julia Robert's broadway debut, now there is a true thespian. | ||

| Cynicalgirl Citizen Username: Cynicalgirl Post Number: 2287 Registered: 9-2003  |
What greenetree said. I can't account for the world at large, but in my little neck of the universe, keeping track of Brangelina is an ongoing diversion from Really Bad Things over which I have no control, and from which I get no laughs. In point of fact, I find Brangelina news just about as substantive as endless fuss about sports, or equally crappy, shallow journalism about Beltway matters. To each, her own. Now, if you'd said that about Jessica Simpson, I would've agreed with you! | ||
| marian Citizen Username: Marian Post Number: 782 Registered: 9-2001 |
Cyn--check out the "Blind Bitch Driver on Elmwood" thread here in the Soapbox. It's really good for a laugh! | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2822 Registered: 12-2004 |
Same goes for Jessica Simpson and Nick what's-his-name, and doubly so for Britney and the scum bucket she married and procreated with--but their faces aren't currently plastered all over EVERY magazine cover on the magazine rack. | ||
| ess Citizen Username: Ess Post Number: 961 Registered: 11-2001 |
It's all interesting in a "so I don't have to deal with my own crap" kind of way. I admit that I am sick of Brad and Angelina, really sick of Paris Hilton (except when her idiocy got exposed -- that was funny!) and revolted by Britney Spears and her scuzzy husband. Jen, I think, got the better deal when she met Vince Vaughn. And now it's back to my own stuff. Sigh. Does anyone know how Julia Roberts's twins are doing? | ||
| greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 6668 Registered: 5-2001 |
Am I the only one who can't tell Britney and Jessica apart in pictures? | ||
| bets Supporter Username: Bets Post Number: 22727 Registered: 6-2001  |
And don't they both have equally vapid younger sister "stars?" | ||
| Cynicalgirl Citizen Username: Cynicalgirl Post Number: 2289 Registered: 9-2003 |
The twins are fine. Julia and Danny's marriage is a bit stressed due to her interest in Broadway. She was supposed to stay home and give Danny some time to get his career off the ground. Oprah is doing marriage intervention with them. Yeah, they both have younger sisters who wish to emulate them. So does Lindsey Lohan. Jessica doesn't interest me in the slightest. With Britney, one just wonders how long before she kicks "K-Fed" to the curb. The usual stuff: hookers in Vegas, gambling, booze, husband's failed career moves. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2826 Registered: 12-2004 |
My biggest concern with Britney and Scumbucket is what is to become of that poor little baby they just had? | ||
| Cynicalgirl Citizen Username: Cynicalgirl Post Number: 2292 Registered: 9-2003 |
Maybe she can hook up with Kenny Chesney and he'll be the step-dad? | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2829 Registered: 12-2004 |
O.K., see, now you lost me. Kenney Chesney was married to.......Renee Zellweger? Like I said, I really don't care all that much about this stuff. I only know what I have no choice to know, what's "in my face" on a daily basis whether I like it or not, like the whole Brad and Angelina thing! | ||
| Cynicalgirl Citizen Username: Cynicalgirl Post Number: 2293 Registered: 9-2003 |
I hear you. Last week or previous, it was Jessica all over the covers of that stuff due to the divorce. The "serious" mags had Alito, the story on whom had tabloid-like coverage so far as I could see. Most days I feel like I have as much influence the outcome of Alito or the whole where-in-the-world-is-Osama-bin-Laden messes as I do over Britney's marriage. Or local matters, for that matter. | ||
| slipknot (slippy) Citizen Username: Zotts Post Number: 240 Registered: 7-2004 |
But you really don't care about any of this. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2831 Registered: 12-2004 |
No, slippy, I don't care. This information is not information I actively seek out. It's information that, as I said, is "in my face," unless, of course I choose to become a recluse. | ||

Angelina use to be so gorgeous but I don't know lately.... I do feel sorry for those people who read "People" and similar type of publications...who cares whhat famous people are doing, pay attention to your own life... that is all I have to say about that.... Start a Revolution or shut the hell up... | ||

| mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 5693 Registered: 5-2001  |
The Brangelinas have such smug looks on their faces, like they have this big secret against the world. Wait'll they get sick of each other - it'll be even more ridiculous! Hopefully the kids will be OK. | ||

My favorite was a picture of them recently at the World Economic Forum in Davos.... Why oh why? | ||
| ess Citizen Username: Ess Post Number: 965 Registered: 11-2001 |
Cyn - that is exactly right. It is all brain candy. There are different degrees of overwhelming, and that drivel (People et al) provides an easy escape. That said, I think the nickname "K-Fed" is hilarious, and that this guy should win an award for the most notoriety for doing virtually nothing. Btw, one couple whom I wish would disappear is "TomKat". What is up with that??? | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 579 Registered: 10-2005 |
Cyn- I hear you and maybe I am being a bit harsh...but some these people seem like that is ALL they reead...!  Katie Holemes was a cutey in "Wonder Boys" and maybe in "Batman Begins" (great movie for you comic lovers)...Tom is just...he jus thas too much time and money on his hands...oh who cares... Start a Revolution or shut the hell up... | ||

I would rather read about Brangelina on their humanitarian trips and seeing them shed light on global issues with their celebrity than see britney and k-fed shopping for slurpees in malibu. | ||

When will people realize that Jennifer Aniston is nothing more than a publicist's fabrication? She's a no talent hack and she's downright nasty in interviews. Plus, without a personal trainer, make-up artist, hair stylist, cook and God knows what else, she'd be a "cheech" face, to quote a friend of mine. In fact, she still is a cheech face! On top of everything, she didn't want to have Brad Pitt's child. For shame! Pitt finally moved on to someone who lives life on her own terms. Plus, she's a goddess. So, boo hoo, Aniston, you missed out big time! (Yes, I love celebrity debates. It's much safer and more fun than discussing "real," controversial issues) | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2835 Registered: 12-2004 |
Oh, and Angelina doesn't have a personal trainer, make-up artist, hair stylist, fashion stylist, nutritionist, cook, a nanny or two and God knows what else? | ||
| mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 5698 Registered: 5-2001 |
I think angelina had more surgery than anniston (cheeks, lips, eyes, boobs). She certainly has more tatoos. According to the latest People (my escape bible), she has a tatoo across her belly that says "If it doesn't kill you, it'll make you stronger". It's in Latin no less. Profound, huh? Having a Signature is VERY trendy. | ||
| greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 6682 Registered: 5-2001 |
You guys are totally missing the point.... Brad left Jen and now Angelina is having his baby. Vince may or may not feel insecure about this. Homewrecker? Or fate? Star-crossed lovers? Humanitarians? Or Famous People Who Are Very Photogenic? Was Vince considered a "stud" before Jen? Or just the lovable lunk side-kick? Let's keep our eye on the ball and stop over-analyzing the unimportant things. Hey. Ya think we should have an MOL baby pool on gender/weight/DOB? Cyn can't play because she read the due date in the Star. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2839 Registered: 12-2004 |
It's May 2nd, as one of the tabloids that prompted me to start this thread screamed out at me. And I think they also said it's a boy. Now mind you, I didn't actually pick up any of these magazines and read them. This is all just gleaned from the covers! | ||
| Buttercup Citizen Username: Buttercup Post Number: 32 Registered: 12-2005 |
Angelina has looked the same since she was 13 years old and her father took her to the Academy Awards. She has the Voight lips, cheeks, etc. Aniston, no. BTW: Angelina's tattoo actually means "That which nourishes me also destroys me." They have morons working at People and US. |
