Brad's Jab at Mel Gibson

Brad Pitt in Toronto: Click to watchWhile in Toronto promoting his new film, Brad Pitt referenced Mel Gibson's recent DUI arrest as cameras snapped his photo. After cracking a funny face, the actor joked, "That's the picture that's going to end up when I have a breakdown or something ... when I get arrested for a DUI late at night, make racial slurs or something."

Pitt also talked candidly about his children with Angelina Jolie, worrying about them seeing his past films. "Oh my God, what did I do? What are they gonna see? Films from the past, I start making that list and ah, but it definitely colors what I'll approach in the future, I'll try to be a little bit more mature about my decisions."

While Maddox, Zahara and baby Shiloh probably won't be seeing Pitt's "Seven" or "Interview with the Vampire" anytime soon, it's Angie's repertoire he should be worried about -- "Original Sin" and "Gia," anyone?

91. You guys make me laugh when you try to sound smart by saying that Brad Pitt is dumb. But he is making his life happen, production company worth a few hundred million, movies, homes, etc. and you are blogging on a celebrity website. Ya, ya, I know i blog too, but I ain't trying to say he is dumb, coz at least I know and acknowledge that blogging on celebrity websites is quite the dumbest thing you or I should be doing. The only thing dumber is believing what the Tabloids write.

And so now, lots of people are feeling sorry for Mel G?? Why? He has held these racist views for a long long time. They just popped out when he was too drunk to control his mouth. A racist offends every human being, directly or indirectly. Who knows what he thinks of other races, besides jews? We know what he thinks of non catholics - we go to hell, sheesh. We know that Mel G is a man who judges people, not by what good they try to do in life but by their race and religion. Everyone who isn't a catholic is going to go to hell and eternal damnation, even his wife. Even his children. Does Mel g love much?? Does he show much compassion?? There are approximately 1.0 billion catholics so the other 5.0 billion non catholics are gonna go to hell. Charming philosophy for a man to believe isn't it?? Perhaps that's why you would feel sorry for Mel G

If you can feel sorry for Mel Gibson (poor guy), how come you are so judgmental and nasty about Brad and Angelina . What did they do that you can personally take offence to? They cheated you say?? Hmmm, even if Brad and Angelina did have an affair whilst Brad pre legal separation, how does that personally affect you. Jennifer and her BFF Courtney said they didn't believe any cheating occurred. How come you know better then the wife and her BF?

Incidentally, I feel sorry for people like Mel Gibson. It might make him feel good that he is SAVED but what a philosophy to live you life by. No, I'm not christian or jewish or muslim. I'm a buddhist and in my faith, a human being has as many chances as is needed to reach salvation. If you don't learn your lesson in this life, you get another life and another, and another until one day, you experience the truth. So don't worry Mel, you and I, we get to keep living and trying and learning till one day, we become enlightened, christ-like if you will.

92. Nothin' wrong with mocking Mel Gibson- he asked for it. "10 times the man Brad is?"- not possible, since Gibson's the anti-Semite, not Pitt. Brad's problem is that, like TomKat, he's suffering from overexposure. Notice how people backed off when TomKat lay low? Yeah, they focused on the poor kid then, saying it must be deformed since the papparazzi couldn't buy or steal a pic. Sick society. Like Dr. John once sang- "if I don't do it, somebody else will." Become the object of scorn, that is. Lucky for us Tom Cruise made a jerk of himself, as did Pitt when he left Jennifer. We need people like that. Otherwise, we'd have to read the papers and keep up with the news, even vote- which would be quite traumatic.

93. Hey wiseguy, when you point fingers at someone, three fingers point back at you

94. Hey Brad, remember the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Don't tell me you never got drunk or said racial slurs in your lifetime.

95. Hmmm..

Sounds like another Tom Cruise is on the horizon..
Watch yourself Brad...Playing "Holier Than Thou" is a
slippery slope..

96. yeah yeah yeah, everyone's right who says Brad and Angie's business are their own.. but why is it they are out saving the world in another country??? Why aren't they trying to save the very people who give them attention and made them rich and famous? their are plenty of people here who are poor and plenty of children that need adopting as well. I don't find fault so much in what they say - it's their actions that contradicts what they are supposidly trying to promote.

97. because we are the richest country in the world. if our own government doesn't take care of the problems of it's people, it's only because of the stupid, greedy, crooked officials we put into office. OUR fault not brad & angelina's.
And i don't think brad's half as stupid as GW Bush!

98. how old is brad pitt 43?? cause he acts like an idiot - i wonder if he will ever share with his kids how him and angelina got together - committing adultry ??? hmmm-that is a fine example of great parents. Oh please....
Brad you could only wish to be the the type of actor as is Mel Gibson- babe you dont stand a chance the only reason you're behind the cameras is your looks and that will soon go to pass-
Quit acting like an idiot and grow up.

103. he's such a loser!

and i can't believe people haven't picked up on Brangelina's hypocrisy.

he goes on preaching about environmental issues, while she buys a plane.
they've not made any changes to their lifestyle to match their words.

she buys her babies from abroad, beacuse she's not considered a fit mother in the us. there's controversy surrounding the orphanage where she bought maddox. she deserted that russian baby boy, whom she had hand-picked (something that normal people don't get to do..), because her bribery didn't help make the adoption go forward any faster.

they don't make donations, they "pledge" money, giving themselves an eternity to actually give the money.

they invaded a country and made it waste taxpayers' money on their security. they claimed to want privacy but did interviews and photoshoots during their stay.

they have no problems using the adoptees for publicity, but god forbid if somebody tries to see piloh.

oh, and let's not forget the famous "..we're deciding which race fits best with mad and z".
i would like to know which races DON'T fit with the kids.

Posted at 1:31AM on Sep 12th 2006 by i think for myself, thank you

104. I'm so over him I need a new word for over. LOL
I first read that in another blog and it fits how I feel 100%. So hat tip to the OP.
