Its sad that so many celebrities get involved in the hard partying type of lifestyle and become drug addicts. It's especially sad since some people look up to them as role models.

I can't stand either one but if my husband got drunk and hit one of my kids I'll be making his life miserable too. He still has supervised visitation (which is something that the pro-Brad articles omit) and the child who got hit still refuses to see him, which really makes me wonder what was going on before Angelina finally said "no more." After that Neri Oxman bs, I firmly believe that Brad's team leaks things to the press just like Angelina's team does, and they both need to quit it.

From People magazine: www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/angelina-jolie-denies-reports-divorce-lawyer-quitting-over-hostile-behavior/ar-BBLuB5T?ocid=spartanntpDespite earlier reports by TMZ that Angelina Jolie's battle with Brad Pitt had hit such intensity and viciousness in their divorce and child custody fight that her lawyer is preparing to quit, a PEOPLE source is now saying that the divorce rather is "entering a new phase," and that her legal counsel, Laura Wasser, is staying by Jolie's side. According to a source Jolies lawyer is not quitting. "Someone is misinterpreting bringing in the experts, which is common at this point in the case," adding, "It's entering a new phase." a source close to the divorce proceedings, tells PEOPLE that "the characterization of problems between Laura and Angie is not true." Angelina has "tried to bridge the gap between the kids and their dad," the PEOPLE source continues. "She's worked to achieve reinstatement for them. But it's now between Brad, his kids, and the court. The court will determine things." Jolie and the kids are in London right now as she films "Maleficent 2," however, their home is in Los Angeles, where Brad, who is also in London filming Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," lives too.

I dunno, but to me, Angelina is (and has always been) a real Dr. Jekyll and a vicious Mr (Mrs) Hyde!!! I don't know what Brad actually did or didn't do (to/with any of their kids), but all I can say, is that based on my past observations of Angelina over many years, when she's done with someone, she's ruthless. Just look at how she once cut her father (John Voight) out of her life. In her fight with Brad, he's an adult, so he can take her wrath. It's just a good thing her wrath is not aimed at her kids. I sure wouldn't want to be in her line of fire! I started Googling her and there were soooo many articles about how vicious and manipulative she is with people. Here's just a few of the many articles about her. Who knows how much of what's written is the truth, but there's a lot of smoke, so I'm guessing there's really a fire there, somewhere. ANGELINA JOLIE: MONSTER MOM!www.magzter.com/articles/3437/289117/5b3db580a5321"ANGELINA JOLIE FABRICATED A NARRATIVE AGAINST BRAD PITT IN ORDER TO WIN FULL CUSTODY OF THEIR 6 CHILDREN"www.intouchweekly.com/posts/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-divorce-116569"NO JUSTICE! ‘VICIOUS’ ANGELINA JOLIE DRAGS JEN ANISTON TO DIVORCE COURT" www.muscleandfitness.com/athletes-celebrities/news/no-justice-vicious-angelina-jolie-drags-jen-(In 2016 she even dragged Jen Aniston into it!)

I don't think she would ever strike out at her kids. Like her or dislike her, her love for her children is one of the few genuine things about her.
Also, if you know where to look you can find all sorts of things about Brad too...how he's been a pothead and functioning alkie for decades, how he manipulates the media, etc (I have to admit that I've been biased against Brad ever since he blatantly lied about having a relationship with Neri Oxman for his "Brad is over Angelina and is dating someone accomplished" PR like George Clooney got when he started dating Amal. I mean, who does that?). They both need to stop sniping at each other through the media because those kids have been through enough, plus they are old enough to actually read this stuff. I ignore a lot of what the tabs say because they constantly make stuff up, but there's some truth to the mess. Either way, I'm not into giving trash men OR women passes. Team kids!

www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3475448/brad-pitt-alcohol-battle-struggles-with-emotion-angelina-jolie/Brad Pitt opens up about his battle with alcohol and how he struggled to express his emotions to his family The Ocean's Eleven star says he can't remember a day since college that he wasn't boozing or smoking marijuana BRAD Pitt has revealed a shocking drinking problem wrecked his marriage and tore his young family apart.The screen superstar, 53, spoke about his battle with alcohol in his first interview since splitting with wife Angelina Jolie. He said he became a “professional” boozer who could “drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka”. Brad, who has now started therapy to tackle his demons, also told how: HE couldn’t recall a day without drink or cannabis since college, HIS break-up with Angelina felt like a “death” and he did not want to end up consumed with hatred for her, HE has now quit both marijuana and booze. Angelina, 41 — with whom Brad has six children — unexpectedly filed for divorce last year. Brad confessed: “I was boozing too much. It’s just become a problem.Truthfully, I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good.” Now the Ocean’s Eleven star says he sticks to just cranberry juice or sparkling water. Asked how he managed to go cold turkey, he said simply: “I didn’t want to live that way any more.” Brad was subjected to an official investigation following a row with son Maddox, 15, on a private jet last year. The probe was dropped and he and Angelina have since vowed to try and resolve their differences out of court.Taking responsibility for the split, which he admits felt like a death, Brad added: “I’m an a**hole when it comes to this need for justice. I don’t know where it comes from, this hollow quest for justice for some perceived slight. I can drill on that for days and years. It’s done me no good whatsoever. “It’s such a silly idea, the idea the world is fair. And this is from a guy who hit the lottery. I’m well aware of that. “I hit the lottery and still would waste my time on those hollow pursuits.” “And it seems to be true. You spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point(going after your ex) and it’s just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse. And fortunately my partner in this(Angelina Jolie/co-parenting)) agrees."

I hope he means it and sticks with his professed plan in the future. Only time will tell, but at least things are better with his family, in the meantime.

Wow. I never would've picked Jason Alexander to be Col. Sanders in a million years. But after looking at the videos --- I don't know how they did it --- but Jason does look very much like I remember Col. Sanders. Amazing transformation!

Oh boy! 😰 Just read the article! I was not aware MP has had a drug addiction. What happens now when he has major surgery and has to go on pain meds? My son just had emergency surgery out.of.the.blue healthy as a rock and he tolerates a lot of pain. He thought he pulled something at the gym and ignored the pain for several days. Then bang just like that he is vomiting and a fever of 102.5/103 .... appendicitis! He has been given some narcotic to get through these next 7-10 days while he recovers. I hope MP recovers and is healthy.

You must not have watched Friends! He had serious drug and alcohol issues during that show. IIRC, he went to rehab a few times. He was chubby, then super thin, then average size. It was really dramatic. There were whispers about the cause and then the stories came out about his drug use. I seem to remember at least one People magazine cover about it back in the day.
It sounds like he's recovering from surgery. I hope he gets better and gets his life together. He hasn't looked well for many years.

Critical Eeek....I actually hate to admit this but yes I watched but no way was I a regular viewer!!!! I have always liked MP but never really followed his career to know about his drug abuse.

There were seasons on the show when MP looked like a cancer patient - just thin and gaunt and barely there. It was pretty shocking. He doesn't look well now. Either he's not sober or the substance abuse just took its toll. I thought this was a terrific interview with Kathleen Turner. Lots of dish about Hollywood, including a bit about her time as a guest actor on Friends, playing Matthew Perry's father. www.vulture.com/2018/08/kathleen-turner-in-conversation.html

I love KT. She is so HONEST. I agree with her thoughts on " you know who" ... YUCK. NO surprise about Jack Nicholson but I am glad she said what she did to him. William Hurt and his magic mushrooms. Umm, "sucked into a jet engine" ... are you kidding me ... GAWD. I think I have seen most of her movies. WOW, War of the Roses was so freaking INTENSE! It actually was a really really sad movie. I loved the "Romancing" movies. I loved Body Heat. KT is AWESOME. THANKS Critical what a fabulous article!!!

I'm wondering how someone ruptures their bowels. Eek! Picture it this way -- someone has a weak spot in the lining of their bowel (or anywhere else in the interior of the body, like their appendix, or their lungs, heart, etc.) and that weak spot just weakens further, and gives way and opens up. In MP's case we're all wondering if it was caused by the drugs/meds he was taking, but it can happen spontaneously without anything like that. I know someone who had that happen in 2 different places -- once in his lungs and many years later in his colon. The lungs problem wasn't serious and it was very easy to repair, but the colon rupture was very serious because you have all of the contents of the colon spilling into your insides, and causing all kinds of infections, etc. In MP's case he did have surgery --- but the question really is, were the surgeons able to clean everything out! I sure hope so! PS Speaking of spontaneous ruptures, how is your son doing, Kar? Hope his recovery is going well!

Not sure how I feel about popular film. There are some outstanding popular films and there are others that you scratch your head and say "how did this make so much money, its awful". And as much as some of the categories are not edge of your seat announcements.... I feel bad because for some of these winners, its their one big moment on TV.

So they want to Oscars to be the Peoples Choice Awards or something? It feels like pandering for ratings and sounds like a participation trophy to me. Sorry, but it's just a fact that, in general, the best movies being made right now are not the ones that do great at the box office. Didn't used to be that way, but now apparently, the public ONLY wants superheroes and comedies that panders to the lowest common denominator. There seems to be almost no interest in complex, smart storytelling. The quality movies are showing on fewer screens for shorter runs. It's a bummer, because it didn't used to be that way. There was a time when some of the biggest hits were great films too. Apparently, ABC/Disney was behind this variety.com/2018/tv/news/abc-oscar-changes-ratings-popular-film-1202899515/Once again, Brangelina is in the news. Now she's accusing him of not paying any "meaningful" child support. His lawyers apparently have proof that he's paid over a million and also loaned her around 8 million to buy the house she wanted to buy. She seems to have a different idea of what is meaningful. While he's definitely not innocent in the situation, she's really working the PR machine to play up her Saint Angie image. While obviously, we don't know what's really going on, I tend to side with Brad. She's got a history of crazy and she seems to have come by it genetically. Look at her creepy father and his predilection for very young women. Brad's not perfect but, by all accounts, comes from a solid, non-show business family. What he did after leaving home is on him, but it sounds like he had a solid upbringing.

I wouldn't mind a shorter Oscars ceremony. I have never watched an entire show. I always change the channel and go to bed. I don't know how I feel about the popular award. If this was around in the past, I don't think I would like to think of the Twilight Films winning an Oscar.
I hate to sound rude, but how many millions does Angelina need for those kids? (if the story is true...) I can't help but think about non-wealthy single parents who are going without child support and trying to make basic ends meet. I don't know.

I think Angie's more interested in sticking it to Brad. She clearly doesn't NEED the money. She's just waging a PR war and creating the (IMO, false) narrative that he's an abusive, neglectful father who won't pay child support because it helps her to paint herself as a loving and completely innocent mother. I actually watch the entire Oscars ceremony. I love it. I do mute if a winner gets a little too long-winded or if they pull out a speech. I hate those laundry lists of people they just read from. Say something heartfelt and in-the-moment and thank the phone book later. If they're going to give awards away during commercials, they need to offer it commercial free (and hopefully free to watch - I'm not paying for it) on another channel. Sort of like how you can watch coverage of political events on CNN or another cable news platform OR you can watch the whole thing, unedited on CSPAN. Bummer for any award winners whose family and friends tune in to watch them win an Oscar, only to find out that, while they did win, they were given the award during a commercial break
