Sad Brad Puffs and Ponders

Brad Pitt took a pensive break from helping Angelina Jolie collect items from her late mother's hotel room, and sat on the balcony floor to have a cigarette on Wednesday.

Angelina's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, passed away on Saturday after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She had been living at L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills.

The tragic news brought the supercouple back to Los Angeles after their relocation to New Orleans where Brad is shooting his latest film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

47. I don't like the couple at all. However, I believe they both deserve privacy at a time like this. The paps should not be following them around to get pictures to sell. I have no desire to see Brad Pitt trying to hide from the cameras while smoking a cigarette. This, and the other pictures recently, are too intrusive into their lives after Jolie losing her Mom.

48. Lay off! like being a good parent requires you to be a non-smoker. Smoking is not the worst thing in the world. He seems to be a wonderful parent, way more hands on then alot of non celebrities and celebrities. You non-smokers have got to get over those who continue to smoke,it is non of your business. Let them mourn their loss, we have all been there and now how hard it is.

55. I agree; Angie going around the world, helping everybody else & not standing by her mom & suporting her on her last painfull days; Bratt smoking?

56. SARA J, YOU CAN GET ALL KINDS OF CANCERS, BUT THEY ALL KILL. MY GRANDMOTHER HAS LUNG AND COLON CANCER. SHE, TOO, HAS NEVER TOUCHED A CIGARETTE. I'VE SEEN RADIATION, CHEMO, AND DIALISYS, AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO PLAY IT SAFE. YOUR MOM WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY IF SHE SMOKED THAT LONG AND IS COMPLETELY HEALTHY. I, MYSELF, CARE FOR MY LOVED ONES ENOUGH TO NOT TAKE THE RISK. DO YOU??

57. It sure must suck for you guys to live in a world that Brad and Angie inhabit, because the bitterness is pushing most of you to lose the most basic decency.

How crappy must your life be that your only way to feel good about yourself is to be such judgemental and inhumane. So your lives are perfect, and your choices are the best ever, well good for you, but if so, why this need to show the ugliest side of humanity. Brad Pitt was never married to you, he is happy with Angelina and has used every opportunity to say so. You women are bitter because you know that Jennifer Anniston lost a good man and is still reeling from it just like Gwyneth Paltrow has been for years.

You can call both of them any vile name under the sun, it will not change that Brad and Angelina are decent human beings and have refused to respond to the game being played by Anniston and her PR people.

58. Nice of him to light up a cig after losing a dear one to cancer. I wonder if he brushes his teeth and changes his clothes before he plays with the babies since he's such a stellar dad...? GROSS. Come on Brad, smoking is so 80's!!!!!!!!!

59. I understand the criticism about a model father smoking in 2007.

This is not a pretty sight and I guess the critics who see nothing wrong with this picture are probably smokers themselves.

This picture is painting a very twisted message to the world.

"See me smoke now..........even though I just had a tragic loss of a close one to an evil disease called cancer."

Ovarian cancer may not be caused from smoking but we don't need to be told one more time that "smoking is dangerous to our health and cancer may result from smoking. Dah!!

This is very troubling.

Wake up....

60. I can't say I'm shocked or surprised that the majority of you are using the death of Ms.Jolie's mother to judge. Angelina has always spoken highly of her mother and her brother, they appeared to to extremely tight.
As a SINGLE mother, Ms. Bertrand raised an exceptional daughter. She raised a spirited, independent, caring woman with a heart of gold, a young woman who is doing what she can to make the world a better place.
If I were Ms.Bertrand I would be so very proud of such a daughter; I doubt she was the selfish type of mother who would have wanted or expected her daughter to put her life on hold to sit at her bedside daily. I have no doubt Ms.bertrand received the very best care, and the love and support of both her children.
I think it's wonderful that she had the strength to hold on for seven years, in those years she was able to witness the profound change in her beautiful daughter, and became a grandmother three times. What more could a mother wqnt?

Many of you can't see pass the the beautiful face. It's such a shame, all the sanctimonious BS is only fooling the fools. If the tabloids are to be believed Julia Roberts has a much more notches on her bedposts, and she is now married to a man who was already married when she met him; but that's okay.

Face it people, envy is what fuels the Brangelina fire. Nothing more.
