Finally! Somebody has the guts to admit the truth!

Classic example of the pot calling the kettle black.

In what way?? Because he and his first wife FINALLY split after like twenty years? All I'm saying is, I'm sick and tired of everyone in Hollywood applauding the two of them because they're basically buying children together. At least he came out and said what other people are thinking but are afraid to say.

It is always a good idea to criticize people's relationships in the media. Because we all know this will only come back to haunt him when either he is caught with his pants down, or she up and leaves him...

True enough. I'm just glad someone said SOMETHING.

"At least he came out and said what other people are thinking but are afraid to say."

Speak for yourself. The only thing you know for sure is that he said what you are thinking.

yeah... and I'm the ONLY PERSON in the country who agrees with him. OK.

Lamc, I meant commenting on other people's relationships in general.

Personally I don't like Brangelina either, but hate the way the press has a tendency to morph both parties names as of late.

Well, I for one wonder where you get off using a phrase like "buying babies?" I'm sure there are many others in the country wondering the same thing.

Oh please, who is Michael Douglas to pass judgment on anyone? I guess was looking for some publicity. Does he have a movie coming out soon?

Oh my. This guy shouldn't even be talking. What a hypocrite. And what right does he have to criticize someone else's personal life.

[Lamc16]

Sorry that you're that naive, namo, but that is exactly what they are doing. Normal people sometimes spend YEARS on waiting lists for ONE child. Because they are who they are, they can buy children.

[FindingNamo]

So let me see if I have this straight. If people wait years is THAT buying children? Sort of on layaway?

"buying babies"

Her work with Unicef is lauded. I'd be surprised if that sense of giving didn't translate to her personal life.

"I don't know how you can be married for four months."

Ethel Merman rises from the grave: Look you $*#%^%, I was only married to Borgnine for one month. If you have trouble with it, you'll have to deal with ME!!

Michael is scum. He is not only insulting 2 people he knows nothing about, but their children as well. That's a LOW blow.

Yes, he stayed with Diandra for years but he was a druggie-whore-master for much of that time and Diandra put up with it for the sake of her child (who is a MESS i might add) He is also notoriously at the prostitutes again...

Actually, I don't like Angelina Jolie much at all, but if she wants to "buy" lots of orphaned children and Brad wants to cart them around, they're a HELL of a lot better off, waiting lists be damned.
And I have little doubt she gets by on her "celebrity" pushing her up the waiting lists (or keeping her off them at all), but again, these children are not exactly going to be suffering now, so I say good for them.

[Lamc16]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 1:48pm

How is that buying children?? And as for the Unicef work, it's just another celebrity patting themselves on the back and feeling good about themselves.

[Lamc16]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 1:51pm

garland grrl, how can you say that he can't pass judgement when that is exactly what you're doing with him? at least he didn't go so far as to call them "druggie-whore-masters" like you just did.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 1:52pm

So what do you think of that celebrity in your avatar, LAM? She just another patting-herself-on-the-back person when she works in a soup kitchen or takes a stand on a hot-button issue?

[JerseyGirl2]

Angelina having the funds to be in the country to visit the orphanage and stay until the adoption process was completed assisted in the adoption. Being a Goodwill Ambassador didn't hurt. Any other couple that had those things going for them could get a child a lot easier, too. I have never heard of a celebrity waiting to adopt a child. Adoption has always been about money.

for example?? you're making comments that you can't back up with evidence.

Like Audrey Hepburn did?

I'm done.
