Time for Plan B! Pitt Attacks Paps With Kindness

Brad Pitt, one of the most photographed men in the world, desperately tried to get the paparazzi off his back -- with heart-to-heart talks.

Clad in his tough-guy motorcycle gear, Pitt went face-to-face with every photographer stationed outside of his Hollywood Hills mansion yesterday, making a personal plea for privacy. He's got a flair for the dramatic.

While many of the shutterbugs were moved by his efforts, most seemed disinterested and continued to flash away at the star, begging the question -- will you please take off the helmet?!

76. Please...this is His publicity stunt. Seems that pops are outside the gate, he could have just stayed inside and shared QT w/ his family....no, not brad, he dressed up, jumped on a motorcyle, and comes outside for some one-on-ones for all for the world to see how much he loves her and lengths he'll go to protect her. Dear Brad, always the knight in shining armor! He knew they'd take his picture making his plea, his "do-gooder" imagine with raise a little higher, Letterman might call, this keeps his paychecks and freebies at sundance coming. All of his and AJ's famously photographed charity stunts are just to help clean their images after they got caught in africa....he SUKS!

77. While I love Brad Pitt and Angie and I do feel they deserve some privacy, especially on their private property, you have to understand that stars know what their life is going to be like, get paid millions of dollars, and the public has a high interest in their lives. They know all this before going into the business. The paprazzi can be hazardous and relentless, but stars should be grateful they are in the business and be kind to their public when asked for autograph. I dont feel the paprazzi should be hounding them at their home or especially on the roads while driving. But in a public place (a restaurant), I feel its okay.

78. Some of the JA fan's talk out of the side of their necks instead of from their heads. They have dates and timelines all wrong, case and point Sparky.

79. AJ's mother just died. All they are asking for is time to greive in private. Damn would any of you want a camera up your face during a time like that...All you fools keep talking about is how he left her for her and blah blah blah. There had to be issues in the marriage if he chose to look elsewhere, end of story.
Now let them greive in private. Or better yet donate to the American Breast Cancer Society and make a difference in this ugly battle against women.

80. I took a really close look at that picture of Brad. Even with heavy motorcycle boots on, it appears his shoe size is a 7. Why would JA want him back?

81. One good thing you can say about him is he has good taste in bikes - it's a Confederate Hellcat, about $60k.

82. BP and AJ do not have to seek publicity - they are hounded by it . So to call them publicity whores is not true . The requirement of the UNHCR is that their ambassadors bring national attention to the problems identified by the UNHCR. AJ has to if she takes her role seriously) allow the media to cover her for the express purpose of calling attention to what she is doing for the UNHCR . JA and BP mutually called it quits . JA did not contest the divorce - especially since she filed . Of course the known fact that they had not really had a successful marriage for some time simply made it easier to call it quit . No one says anything about the fact that it was fraud on her part since she did not intend to have any children and she knew he very much wanted them . So she allowed him to believe that they would have children knowing that she was not going to get pregnant . So after 5 years he said we need to go on - you to pursue your oscar and me to find a family with children to grow old with . Why can't some of you posters who hate him so much ( you say its because of the publicity and that he had the nerve to leave JA) admit these things , leave this s*** behind and grow up and get a life .

83. Jennifer Aniston fans do always start nasty comments. Thay are bunches of people whose been miserable, reflection of their idol Maniston. Their insecurities are so incorrigible. I read their comments and I just shake my head how shallow these people are --- exactly just like their idol. So, whatever Brad and Angelina do, they will always find ways to be nasty and vile. These people are not over the FACT that couples in this earth do get divoced if the marriage don't work out.

84. and its a FACT that they don't marry when relationships are not all they're supposed to be.

85. Maniston's fans are so primitive. They live a life of believing one should stay on a marriage that is not joyous and unproductive. They are so on denial just like their idol. They do have co-dependency problems just like their idol. I feel sorry for all of them.

I am glad to be a Jolie fan. She is strong, doesn't depend on a PR or a man, very successful in her own game, honest, bold and so human. She doesn't lie about her imperfection but learn from them. I like the fact that she says things as it is whether one likes it or not. She relies on her ability to be an actress, a caring daughter, a loving mother, a respectful partner to Brad and a humanitarian as much as she can.

All you Maniston fans, stop putting your idols name whenever a tabloid talks about the Jolie-Pitt. It is just so pathetic. The only time Fugliton is talked about is when the Jolie-Pitt is on the picture. Quite desperate, innit???

86. i hope this is primitive enough, the plain HONEST, FRANK, BLUNT, EXPLICIT truth is, i call a whore a whore when i see one. I bet she can still look at herself in the mirror.

87. heydeserveeachother -
If you think she is a whore, majority of people don't think so. You know what??? Let me tell you this.... I and others cannot control how you speak, we can just control ours. Also, we cannot level with stupidity. Stupidity, just like how your brain works, will only accept what it wants to accept. Really, one cannot talk back and act back to stupidity. You can be as vile as you want, we are just gonna stay cool and open-minded. That's all!!

88. I believe that all persons after a personal loss should have privacy. Why is it that money can buy anything? Thier a FAMILY, people wake up, Regardless of thier fame and forture they want the same Quilty of live we all do. Remember the old saying, you always want what you cant have....? Think about it.... We go on about our days without issue. Imagine everyday some one who looks like cyclopse inches from you. Your "Mom" dies and its it mateing season out front cyclopse camara man running to the "perfect" spot... We need to Punk a "cyclopse" everyone, looks who's laughin now.

89. THIS IS SCARY.
PEOPLE'S COMMENTS ARE SCARY.
A man and a woman and their children. What they do for a living is not 100% our business away from their promotion and their work.
But the nastiness of people calling them names and attacking their looks, that's scary and sad.
In the end,
Pitt and Jolie have a good life, their bills are paid and they love their children and each other. Wishing all the haters, half of that love.
