Angelina Jolie spoof on Saturday Night Live

oh and btw……to the above post in mod.:
who of us seriously is still friends with the friends of an Ex or Ex-husband/wife? when they meet (and they did various times) they are talking amically…..what should CC do? fly a thousand miles after Brangelina to meet her friend Brad? LOL
really too much interpretation in things…..most fans tend to see things that aren´t there and what they want to see.

Oh please!! Am laughing so hard right now! Am immature because I point out something that you refuse/pretend to acknowledge? Didn’t you just say there were no problems between them and she was happy and had moved on?

I read somewhere that her fans NEVER deal in facts and when presented with them they shift the focus…guess that conclusion was spot on!

My point was that those friends made a conscious choice because of her. To your question,when you are friends before meeting that now “Ex”; and when they do meet they are nice, when they give interviews they bitch about B&A. Sheryl Crow, D Arquette.

And I answered that question re: CC. Yes they are not in US that much. BUT as I said above the point was made to answer the raised issue of “Oh come on! They are too mature and she is too happy/has moved on” to be partisan argument. That’s bull as evidenced by her recent interviews.

And enough now!

BlessBrangelina- I cannot speak for Phoebe, obviously, but for my part, I certainly don’t find you immature. I don’t neccesarily think that JA needed to be brought up, but I also don’t think that makes you immature.

As for “something you refuse/pretend” to acknowledge. Again, I have a feeling that comment was aimed at Phoebe more than at me, but I personly am not refusing to acknowledge anything, and I don’t think that’s the case with Phoebe, either.

Where have we ever said that JA’s friends definently don’t take sides, or that JA has definitely gotten over it. What I’m saying is that I don’t think it’s right to just assume that all of JA’s friends dislike and want to bash Angie and Brad. In fact, we really have no proof either way.

While some of the SNL ladies have gone on record saying they really like JA, I have never heard any of them say that they also dislike Angie. As far as JA and her recent interviews…I recommened that you read my earlier comment about that (it was probably in moderation until recently as well, so you may not have seen it before).

Anyway, the point I was trying to make (and I think Phoebe was, too), was that we don’t actually know any of these people personally. Therefore, we have no way of knowing for sure how the SNL ladies feel about Angie or how JA feels about her.

While that means Phoebe and I can’t know that they don’t dislike Angie, that also means you can’t know that they do. In Jen’s case, we have Brad’s recent W interview, where he said that the Angie vs. Jen thing is media created. Considering the guy probably knows JA better than even some of her friends do, I choose to believe him!

thank you joliepittfanatic, maybe BlessBrangelina understands you better than me….:)
and BlessBrangelina – you should repeat your second paragraph and tell it yourself ok? you are the one who starts talking about a certain person the moment something negative is said about Angie. this certain person has moved on more than you have it seems:)

*JoliePittFanatic
I was referring to Phoebe mainly!
And Phoebe has just repeated again that JA has gotten over it! When all her actions say she hasn’t! She has also stated their friends haven’t chosen sides. When they have ie S. Crow.

JA’s comments “were not that bad”? Really!? A picture of her shooting Angie is funny to you too? Like Phoebe? And calling Angie’s reputation into question is okay? Yes I understand that her words could have been taken out of context or edited to be something it was not. So after her experience with Vogue, like Angie, she could have adapted a “why would I comment on that” attitude. But she didn’t! Why?

But I have no issues with you, JoilePittFanatic. However I do have an issue with Phoebe re:her passive aggressiveness towards Angie and the ant’s that suddenly come alive in her pants whenever JA is mentioned.

*Secondly Phoebe You should go back into archives and read the negativity you have thrown Angie’s way in the guise of your “opinion”.

Again my point with mentioning JA was to make one about Tina. If I had wanted to say or imply negative things about her, like you do with Angie all the time, I would have.

When did they do a spoof about JA…you mean her 30 Rock appearance? Different program and outlook.

Mayer plays games with the press, it’s he’s second career. In this situation “congratulations or No comment” would have been better! And if it was a joke, JA’s people would not have seen fit chastise him for it.

I have not shifted focus. Am still on topic re Tina, even as I answer your attempts to make it something it’s not. Just look back at the number of times you asked questions unrelated to Tina!

BlessBrangelina, I really think you’re reading way too much into things. First of all, JA’s comments in GQ (and before that, Vogue), automatically mean she hasn’t gotten over the divorce?

And Sheryl Crow being friends with JA automatically means she also dislikes Angie? In JA’s case, while I’m certainly not saying she’s blameless or anything, I don’t think she deserves all the venom being spewed at her (just as we PittWatchers think Angie doesn’t deserve all the venom that’s been spewed at her all the time).

Yes, she could have adopted a “no comment” or “why should I talk about that?” attitude, but I have a feeling her quotes would still get taken out of context, just as Angie’s often are. Speaking of which, I see nothing wrong with her comment about the comic. It IS funny in the sense that, even after four years, the tabs are STILL make a huge deal out of something that (according to Brad in his W interview) really isn’t/wasn’t a huge deal! I think that’s what JA was trying to say as well. In fact, I’ll go even further and say that I have a hunch that if Brad and Angie have seen that comic, they’ve probably laughed at it, too.

JA could be a type of person who often feels put on the spot when asked about Angie and Brad. When someone feels like that, they often get flustured and say things they don’t mean to. For all we know, she’s kicking herself right now for what she said in the GQ interview.

As for Sheryl Crow: Unless she has actually come out and said she dislikes Angie, there is absolutly no proof to show that, just because she’s a friend of JA, she also dislikes Angie. I really don’t see how simply being friends with someone is taking sides.

In terms of John Mayer’s comment, maybe JA’s people chastized him because they thought that, while he was indeed joking, it wasn’t the best joke to make. Or maybe they didn’t chastize him. Personally, until I read about that in PEOPLE, I’m going to take it as yet another tabloid rumor (the chastizing, I mean).

Also, once again, Brad said in his W Interview that the Angie vs. Jen thing is media-created (please read that sentence twice. I really don’t want to explain it yet again!). He also called her a “sweetheart” and said that, basically, he feels like she gets “dragged” into it, which to me is basically say she feels put on the spot and says something she ends up regretting later. He also said they talk occasionally.

Granted, the GQ interview had not yet come out at the time Brad did his W interview. Brad was with JA for seven years and married to her for four (not counting the year they divorced) of those years. Therefore, I think it’s safe to say that he knows her a hundred times better than any of us ever will (heck, he probably knows her better than some of her friends do!).

To sum things up: By no means do I think that JA is blameless or a perfect angel. However, she IS human, just like the rest of us. Therefore, she’s going to make mistakes, and she’s going to end up sticking her foot in her mouth at times.

Also, just like the rest of us, JA has feelings. Put yourself in her shoes and imagine how YOU would feel if people were saying all the stuff to you that you (and others. I’m certainly not saying you’re the only one) have been saying about her.

Can you honestly tell me that you’re feelings wouldn’t be hurt? I don’t know about you, but I don’t like seeing ANYBODY’s feelings hurt!

All of that said, I’m not going to argue this with you any further. I think at this point that we need to simply agree to disagree.

Oh, and I forgot to say that I don’t blame Phoebe a bit for getting defensive when JA is brought up. I don’t like it when she’s brought up either, especially in posts where she’s really not revelant (which is most of the posts here, actually).

I also know that Sherry has said that, although this is a Brad and Angie fansite, that doesn’t mean it’s also a Jen-bashing site. She’s also said that she herself is a fan of all three of them.

Therefore, I try to be senestive to that and not bring up JA unless she’s either relevant to the post or someone else does first.

BlessBrangelina, I know I also said no more (and therefore I also apologize to Sherry), but I decided to post on this thread once more to attempt to answer some of your questions.

First of all, about SNL: Phoebe pointed out that she thinks SNL HAS spoofed JA before. Just because you haven’t seem them do it doesn’t mean they haven’t!

Regarding Sheryl Crow…Okay, fair enough. I did not realize that she’s made remarks showing obvious dislike to Brad.

Now about the point I was trying to make about the comments: Angie’s comments in Vogue being taken out of context is just ONE example of the many times that has happened. Her comments were also taken out of context when she gave the interview to Elle Uk (the one that contained the infamous “blob” comment), and when she gave an interview after adopting Pax (although, in the latter case, I have to cut the press some slack. This is because she gave the interview to the Vietnamese press in English. Then they translated it into Vietnamese….and then the American press translated it BACK into English. Therefore, it’s extremely likely that something literally got lost in translation).

And those are just a few of the times her comments have been taken out of context. My point is, how do you know that press wouldn’t STILL twist JA’s words even if she said “no comment” or “I don’t talk about that”. In fact, then they’d probably accuse her of hiding something, or of her not wanting to admit that she still loves Brad.

And finally, about defending JA. Well, Phoebe has said that she is a fan of JA as well as Brad and Angie, so it makes sense to me that she would defend JA just as she does Brad and Angie.

As for me, I defend JA because, as I said before, I can’t stand seeing anyone having their feelings hurt. Also, as I said earlier, that doesn’t mean that I think JA is blameless or a total angel or anything. I just think that she doesn’t deserve all the venom being spewed at her. I mean, people are making a WAY bigger deal out of this than it needs to be, in my opinion!

Okay, I’m really done commenting on this!
