Why on earth was this was on the top news items on BBC Breakfast news this morning?

Who cares?

Apparently, some magazines are willing to pay up to $10 million for exclusive pics.:loopy::loopy:

Is it me, or is it wrong and distasteful to prostitute one's kids in this manner?

Wooow, steady on Nelly, they haven’t sold the picture rights yet and it is the parents right to decide. There will always be interest as we live in a celebrity culture and its better to be in control of the situation than not in my opinion, so if Pitt and Jolie decide to sell the picture rights, that’s their business. Who are you to tell them what they can or cannot do?

If there was no demand, there would be no discussion. It’s not their fault.

And using he word 'prostitute' is very insensitive and completely OTT for this kind of situation.

No its not you, its distasteful.

Thanks AJ.:thumbsup:

But the 10 Million is going to Charity ....(so that's what was also said)
Let the Loonatic Pay 10 million for them if they want - More fool Him / Her :|

There is something just not right about Jolie, not wired up right maybe. There are rumours about why she had a caesarean, personally I think she just doesnt like to use her tuppence for babies, something fashionable in Hollywood I believe.
And why twins, how lucky was that. I think she is a very mixed up and complicated individual........who prefers women.

This all pervasive obsession with celebs drives me nuts.

Is it vicarious living do you think?

I was in WH Smiths in a motorway service station looking for a mag to buy, yesterdat. There is nothing other than the glossies with endless pages of adverts and stupid clothes that you can't afford or only go up to a size 10. Virtually every mag cover features something about bikini bodies, make-up etc. Then the celeb mags have the same thing, only celeb bikini bodies.

Who cares?

Why is there nothing for women who don't want this diet of trash? I'd like something a little lighter than the New Statesman/the New Scientist or Economist, but something with more gravitas than these awful 'women's mags'.:rant::rant::rant::rant:

Ooooh - Jess'll be here soon.

I don't know enough about her to be honest. But I am sick to death of hearing about her & Brad and the twins.:rant::rant::rant:

Because they have no life and must live vicariously through someone else - even someone they know nothing about, have never met and never will. Sad isn't it :(

It is totally sad. I overhear people discussing these celebs' situations, as if they're close acquaintances.

The REALLY sad thing is they could have a life very easily but often seem to feel that because they aren't famous and don't have the champagne lifestyle anything else isn't worth even thinking about. We have a very screwed set of social values :(

I agree. I despair.

:huh:...........................

It's all terribly tacky, isn't it? :)

I can't account for it being lead item of the news. That kind of goes beyond bad taste. Also can't account for the massive sums involved (beyond simple economics, of course - those pictures will sell magazines) - but do I think B and A go a long way to alleivating criticism by giving it away to charity.

Funnily enough, I was in Namibia when she had the last baby there (wasn't stalking, honest) and everyone was very excited about it. Not least the friend of a friend who bumped into Brad in a supermarket!

I think all these muppets who are so obbsessed with celebs and read all those crapy gossip mags are very sad cases indeed.

There was a lass i realy liked a while back and she just whitled on about this and that celeb blah blah blah sex and the city this big brother that new pair of shoes etc etc
A bit neurotic as well

she did my brain in talk about dull, cant stand women like that now, as friends they are sound enough but more than a few hours with them and i want to strangle em

FFS get a grip and a life while your at it

it was nearly as much of a scrum when she had, erm... what was it?? "Shiloe?" and when "TomKat" had "Suri". :roll: :roll:

Like, they're the only ones who have ever had kids... :roll:

So long as the poor little beggars are safe and healthy, (I would not wish them ill) I'm not that bothered.

What the hell's a Brangelina?
