Brangelina cause trouble at school


splashnews_spl4178_001.jpg
The presence of super parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Lycée Français de New York school has been causing so much havoc that principal, Dan Cooke had to issue out letters of warning to star struck parents. In a letter leaked to the New York Observer, the principal writes:
“I’m sure you are aware the school has received much media attention recently during the arrival and dismissal times because of the presence of celebrities Ms. Angelina Jolie and/or Mr. Brad Pitt. Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition...Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren), I must ask for everyone to please respect the family’s privacy and discontinue these practices.” He also adds that he met with the couple's security team before Maddox's first day at school: "I want to make you aware that before the first day of school, I met with their security team to discuss the best manner for them to drop off and pick up their son. Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families."
But really, what are the choices here ... Brangelina could get a burly looking security guard who looks like he'll tear you limb from limb just by looking at him to drop Maddox to school. Or alternatively they could get him home schooled. Suggestions please. splashnews_spl4178_004.jpg

Considering all the rumours flying around about more feuding between Sara Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall, the on-off friends looked more than happy filming scenes for the much anticipated Sex and the City movie. splashnews_spl3733_001.jpg

Didn't anyone tell them about the sale?

Look at the size of the Next bags Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and girlfriend Olalla are carrying! We caught the Spanish player and Olalla out home shopping in the Speke retail park in Liverpool. The couple went into a number of interiors shops including Next Home where judging by the size of his bags, Torres spent quite a bit. Alas, if only they had waited a day they probably would have got all that stuff at a fraction of the price at the Next half price 2 day sale. splashnews_spl4034_010.jpg splashnews_spl4034_001.jpg splashnews_spl4034_006.jpg splashnews_spl4034_007.jpg

All this PR could only mean one thing ... new album!

Michael Jackson has somewhat been laying low for a while, then all of a sudden poof he's back on our radar with more weird and crazy antics. I don't really know why these pictures have "all of a sudden" resurfaced, but I'm quite sure it has something to do with creating enough hype around Michael Jackson (does he really need any?) before his new forthcoming album, which according to sources is due in November this year. These pictures which were shot in 1986 for The National Enquirer show the star in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Jackson, then 28, was at the height of his fame and the publication claimed the regime was part of a plan to keep him alive until at least 150. The Enquirer quoted the singer as saying: "I've taken several long naps in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and when I awoke I felt like a new person - I've never felt better. I definitely want one for my home so I can sleep in it at night. I plan to get one immediately. I want to live to see world peace, a world without hunger, a world where children and all mankind know no suffering. I believe if I treat my body properly I'll live to be at least 150." Earlier this week it was reported that Jacko had married his nanny Grace Rwaramba, however a statement issued on the Michael Jackson Fan Club website by his spokeswoman, Raymone Bain has stringently denied all allegations. "Wide-spreading reports regarding Michael Jackson being married are not true," the statement said. "Documents stating otherwise are a hoax." Good gosh, oxygen chambers, marrying nannies, what next - Bubbles gets reincarnated? splashnews_spl4163_001.jpg splashnews_spl4163_003.jpg splashnews_spl4163_004.jpg splashnews_spl4163_005.jpg

Angelina Takes Shiloh TO FAO

Angelina Jolie took her 16-month-old daughter, Shiloh, on a shopping spree at legendary New York City toy store F.A.O Schwartz today. Because Shiloh is the spitting image of her father Brad Pitt, does it make me gay when I say she's cute? splashnews_spl4055_001.jpg splashnews_spl4055_003b.jpg splashnews_spl4055_004.jpg splashnews_spl4055_007.jpg Pictures by James Ambler

Bridget Moynahan Capitalizing On Her Pregnancy?

splashnews__fears_290502_16.jpg

My favorite sports writer, Bill Simmons, who writes for ESPN's Page 2 and runs The Sports Guy's World, gives space to his wife (The Sports Gal) during his weekly column for her to rant on just about anything she feels like and today she takes on the Bridget Moynahan- Tom Brady controversy.
If I were a single woman who wanted to start a family, I can't think of a better sperm donor than Tom Brady. That's what bugs me about this whole Bridget Moynahan thing. She's wealthy and beautiful and famous (I'd throw talented in there, but I saw "I Robot"), and now, she has a super-baby. But she doesn't have dignity. I was aghast when I saw the OK Magazine cover with Bridget's sad face and the headline "Life Without Daddy." I'm not sure if she remembers reading the paper when it announced that she and Tom broke up because he wasn't interested in starting a family and she was. Or that she miraculously got pregnant a few weeks later. I don't like to think the worst of people, but yeeeesh. What makes me mad is that I defended her at the time because she's a woman and women defend other women with these things. Now I feel like a dummy. Look, Bridget, you are lucky to have a healthy, beautiful son. Just don't ask us to feel sympathetic when you used your pregnancy to make money and advance your own career. I'm surprised the baby's cord blood didn't end up on eBay. Uh-oh, I just gave you an idea.
What do you all you pro-Bridget gals think? She has a point, it does seem like she's milking the publicity for all it's worth (I would do the same in her position) so is it time for her to move on?
