Check out USA Today to see the great photo of Brad Pitt on the cover of Rolling Stone which hits newsstands on Friday.
In the article, he apparently tells Rolling Stone why he just doesn’t fight with Angelina Jolie:
“Angie and I do not fight anymore. What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother (actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007), is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore. I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. … And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.”
He goes on to say that he just doesn’t want to blow his time by using it up to be mad at someone that he loves.
Of course, this article will have certain non-fans gloating about the admission that Brad and Angelina have fought before, but seriously, almost every couple fights at some point in their relationship – it’s rare for two people to live and love together without conflicts surfacing here and there. I think it’s great that things in his life have made him aware of his own mortality and that he is making a conscious effort to spend his time being happy.
Let me know if you get a copy of Rolling Stone on Friday!

Has anyone considered the fact of JA moving on with her life has included several so called boy friends, but yet no long term relationships. If JA is America’s girl next door. The door is very difficult one to open.

chi jong- Thanks for sharing! So now it is confirmed. Sweet Shi is indeed in CCOB! However, one thing bothered me about that interview. Brad said the following at one point: “I look down and there’s our boy from Vietnam, our daughter from Ethiopia, our girl who was born in Namibia, our son who’s from Cambodia and they are brothers and sisters, man.”
Ordinarily I’d be making comments about how sweet that is, but he made a major boo-boo in my opinion. He left out Knox and Viv. No where did he say, “our girl and boy who were born in France,” or “our daughter and son who were born in France”. I’m also rather surprised he did that, as Brad seems to try to include all of his kids when discussing them in interviews (usually by saying “the kids…” or “they…” or “We’re all….”).

Sarita, excellent post! That was exactly what I was trying to explain in my post about how our differing opinions make the “triangle” a touchy subject for most of us. You, however, said it much better than I did!
I also want to add a bit to what you said about how it’s obvious that Brad and Angie didn’t get physical with each other until the divorce was final, because I know that comment is bound to raise some eyebrows due to the timing of Shiloh’s conception.
If you do the Math, sweet Shi was likely concieved at the end of August or beginning of September 2006 (I am of the belief that Shi was actually due in early June. There were rumors going around that she was, and she was born by planned C-section due to being breech. Planned C-sections are usually performed one to two weeks before the due date to prevent the mother from going into labor, so I’m inclined to believe that the rumors about the early June due date were true).
A judge signed off on Brad and JA’s divorce in August. After that they just had to get through the mandatory two-month California waiting period, hence the October announcement of the divorce being final. For all practical purposes, however, the divorce was techincally finalized in August.
All of that said, I agree with sarita’s comment about Brad and Angie telling the world when they first slept together. When it comes down to it, that’s what they’d have to do to confirm to everyone that they didn’t get physical until the divorce was final (and even then, some nay-sayers would be saying that they were lying).
However, when they first slept together is nobody’s business but their own! I mean, really, that’s about as nosey as you can get, IMO!
