Angelina leaving Brad

[ReptilianPeon]

As Bella was saying earlier. It's only news because it's public figures. If it were Joe and Jane from Asswipe Street, noone would give a damn. Let's just say I'm as impressed, saddened and interested as if it was indeed about Joe and Jane.

Too right. The United States just bombed a Syrian Army position, killing nearly a hundred people, and letting al-Saud's henchmen advance. And this is what people care about? I'm sure the celebrity couple want some privacy too in this deeply personal matter.

I should have posted this in the "humor" section, I really don't give a shit about their marriage either, I do agree with her humanitarian stances, but that's it, and I like that she is an atheist. I feel the same about the royals too. I could care less about celebrity, I was just making a joke with the thread based on a real story.

It's Hollywood. The only couples who remain together are the ones where at least one in the relationship is not involved in Hollywood drama.

Meh, while there can be plenty, I see many that have multiple marriages but don't hate each other or act like hypocrites like republicans about it. Even without fame,  in any relationship, it makes no sense to seek a utopia and assume it will last forever. I think that is what sets people up for nasty divorces, because they go into it with an unrealistic attitude they've been indoctrinated with since birth. And even more, they never plan ahead or have good communication skills. Far to many humans get sold the storybook script instead of the reality of the planning and work and communication needed.

You are aware of the fact that Hollywood relationships are intentionally set up primarily for the publicity angle, right?

CL I have dated been married and divorced. I can tell you what hurt me the most was me dreaming rather than accepting myself. And I can also tell you after all the relationships I have been through, I'd rather be alone than in a bad relationship. You simply can hurt yourself worse trying to fit someone else's mold. And you also have no right to tell your partner to conform to you. Simply put, sometimes things don't work out, and if you go into it knowing that, there is far less stress leaving it, than trying to force a utopia. There is nothing wrong with romance, there is something very wrong with blindness.

No, sorry, but I doubt they fucked each other under contract. I don't doubt they had economic interests in mind, but in their case, both were up there in status, so it wasn't a matter of a one looking for a sugar daddy or sugar momma. 

If you are looking for old school family bartering that would be religion, not Hollywood. I am quite sure if those two had never gotten married, they would both be well off. Don't mistake pragmatic couples for biblical bartering. I am sure love was involved.

I don't think you live under the same roof and adopt all those kids just for fun like an investment.

Brad Pitt seems like he stresses women out...whoever is married to him.

OMG REALLY?!!

Sarcasm. They're A-List celebrities, I'm more shocked they got re-married and lasted this long.

I would agree that it is sad when love dies, though.

Someone should probably write a song about that.

Nah, nobody could relate to it, and nobody would watch the music video.

Oh, wait. . .
