Just a few weeks after new rumors of their split surfaced, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sent a clear message to the public without even saying a word. Last week, the couple and their children were photographed as a happy clan in Venice (Ang was also photographed with her estranged dad, Jon Voight, over the weekend).
Color us cynical, but one glance at the recent photos and we thought “set-up.” But maybe a steady diet of celebrity tabloids screaming “Brangelina Break Up!” on their covers and a healthy dose of New York City skepticism has colored our view of the world. So we went to an expert.
Celeb publicist Howard Bragman, chairman of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations, agreed that the photos looked staged, but scolded us for our cynicism. “I think they’ve done a very good job of making them look casual, but looking casual is something that takes a lot of time and planning,” Bragman told us. “I don’t believe that they’re the sort of couple that this sort of thing that just happens to. I think that there is a lot of planning that goes into it, as there should be. They are so good at it — it’s not too overly slick. And it’s always a balancing act between slickness and control.”
Angelina has always been the puppet master of her own image — case in point: photos of her and Brad and Maddox on the beach in Kenya showing them as a happy family in 2005, coming at a convenient time during the Brad-Jennifer Aniston blow out. These new photos, combined with Ang’s pics with her dad, send a very clear message: We’re Fine.
Bragman was inclined to believe Angelina’s message. “I think they’re just fine,” he said, setting our skeptical mind straight. “I think they’re a very busy couple who travels a lot and they have a lot of work and a lot of houses. People try to make a great deal out of it, but unless I hear otherwise, or someone files the papers, I’m sure they are fine.”
What do you think? Do these photos scream “We’re Fine!” desperation or “We’re Happy So Leave Us Alone”?
