It's almost always the nice schlubs that do it and only rarely the assholes.

I'm not a fan of assholes. They suck the joy out of other people's lives. I'm perfectly content with the idea of them ending themselves.

Was going to say something striving to be meaningful about the trivializing suicide and online exhibitionism, but fuck it. I get a bit of a thrill being among the first few thousand to know. I knew there was a reason I'm sitting in my bed refreshing twitter at 3:30 in the morning again! My life might be an empty abyss of nothingness, but I'm on top of suicide tweet watch. How many boring bitches with stable lives and sleep schedules can say the same?

Also, re: the deletion, there were only 17 tweets on the account, going back two days. This is not to say that it was a new account -- it wasn't -- but that he's deleted tweets en masse before, so it's not unlikely that he did it again.

People that hold their breath over this nonsense should shampoo my crotch.

Angelina just seems like a self-righteous psychopath anyway.

No one can foresee the future and predict if a relationship will last.
I personaly have a hard time believing that a 46 year old man and 34 year woman would be together for 5 years and keep having children if then didn't have a good relationship.

It's just taken Brad a looooong time to figure it out.

Has Aniston done anything for charity? Given anything to charity? Brad got tired of her vacuous lifestyle.

Although I suppose her incredible body of cinematic masterpieces is a form of charity to the rest of us.

Aniston does plenty of charity work, but like most, she doesn't use it to sell an image.

(And they gave every last dime of the proceeds from those baby photos to charity.)

Doesn't list dollar amounts, though, so it could be only tangential or superficial support, like attending $1000/plate celebrity gala type thing. She is the spokesperson for St. Jude now, so there's that.
I am still on team Braniston, regardless of Angelina's charity work. If Jennifer did some showy charity thing, people would only say that she's trying to compete with Angelina.
Angelina's charity work could very well be viewed as PR stunts to take the focus off her homewrecking ways. I don't like her, so that's the way I choose to look at it.

Braniston? Brangelina? Bennifer? Oh for phuck's sake, just stop it now!

That is a gadgeous bebeh, though.

Once more, this time with feeling, Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston because HE WANTED TO. I remember reading about Americas Sweetheart''s reluctance to have children long before Pitt got a whiff of Jolie. All this 'poor Brad bullshit is so stupid. Brad Pitt is a GROWN MAN. He can build houses in New Orleans, don't you think he knows where he wants to stick his dick.
If I'm team anybody, I'm on Angelina's team because the woman does more than worry about her highlights. She works with refugees and brings attention to victims of war and oppression. Jolie does shit that matters. And I think that's her biggest crime because how dare this sexy, beautiful, successful woman go her own way without asking for our approval. How dare she love those dark children more than Shiloh?!?!? She was a 'bad' girl, taking drugs and cutting herself and she changed without doing the obligatory stations of the cross with Barbara and Oprah. Angelina Jolie has never offered herself up for our derision and judgement and some will never forgive her for it.
Foster asked who would buy this book and the answer is assholes will buy this book.

Okay, lastly, 'cause I haven't started drinking yet, but I do hate how their biological child is supposed to be 'the awesome one' and the others are just 'the lucky ones'. They are all wealthy. They are all the lucky one.
(This all reminds me of Chasing Amy, and the 'finger trap' business, via your past haunting you no matter how much good you do.)

I think approval seeking is a large part of who she is, especially if nannies are made to duck out of pictures and that prominent work-out vein is to be believed. To me she seems extremely high-strung and not actually *happy.* But I guess at least the side effect is that charities and children are benefitting from her altruistic employ of her and Brad's financial largesse.

I don't see Aniston as a saint nor am I cynical enough to question Angelina's motives for doing charity work. I say good for her for helping people in need. Angelina is a sexual confident woman and some women are put off by that but that doesn't mean she isn't a manipulative person. I think she is a master at the publicity game and is great at controlling her image. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though. Why pay a publicist when you can do your own PR?

The thing that makes me so disgusted is this Hester Prynne bullshit. Mean Angie stole Poor Jen's man with the power of her MAGICAL PUSSY. What's a Nice Girl to do when all she has is a hairdo to fight a MAGICAL PUSSY? Every Nice Girl (and the Nice Guys who love them) must band together against the power of the MAGIC PUSSY. Since the goal of every Nice Girl is to find and KEEP a handsome prince, Brad Pitt (a grown ass man) is completely absolved of any responsibility whatsoever. All he has to is drink the potion that will break the Pussy's spell and everyone will live happily ever after. Jesus.

In general, I guess I see both women each as somewhat emotionally disturbed but in different ways.
Angela = originally "unloved" and acting out, finally "pulls self together" and hires a great stylist; gives back because as a former misfit she is filled with empathy (plus, there could be some tax write-offs in play); she then keeps an extremely tight reign on herself, her image and her family because the "pulling together" was so herculean.
Jen = not very mature, constantly "pained," and lacking a secure identity fails to look within for happiness; has a stunted capacity for autonomy as well as for empathy; is never joyous, and still not healed from her losses, whatever they may be, and generally lacks empathy because of it -- therefore never giving back or appreciating what she has.
Brad = a man willing to adapt to whatever woman he's with at the moment, and who has never really been on his own anyway -- bouncing straight from one woman to another like a little boy.
None of them are particularly admirable in my opinion, but then, like I said, I've only given the most cursory thought to the situation. My assessment could be quite wrong, but it's not worth it to me to look more closely.
Perhaps there *is* a press-play underway that paints one woman as a man-stealer and one as a wounded, wronged sprite, but you know those archetypes have been around forever and were well exploited in literature even before Shakespeare threw their like across the boards. That the tabloids pull these folks into these roles is just the nature of the narrative from my point of view.
