arrow People magazine issues a red alert

angelina_jolie3.jpg UPDATE: Les bébés have arrived. And they look like... babies. Holy babies.

Original Post: Stop whatever you're doing because this is going to change your life.

At 7 p.m. Eastern time this Sunday, the holiest of holy days, People will officially release the very first public picture of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, the otherwordly beings that deigned to take human form as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's newborn twins.

You get to look at the blessed children for free, thanks to People, who allegedly paid somewhere between $10 and $15 million for the privilege of showing them to you.

You may now commence making preparations for this momentous occasion, lesser beings.

10 - 15 million, hmmm, for pictures right... I thought there were people dying somewhere of hunger, rising water, fire, addiction, and disease!

Oh crap, it's Brad's and "LIPS'" baby... I'll be glued in for this event, we might get a glimps at a teet or something!

Note to self, don't buy People Magazine EVER, don't go to Barnes and Nobles, Borders, limit my Starbucks trips, and don't go "Uptown" to chill with the rich folk....

Heather, I think I can push a pic of you for close to $10!

( 1 )

I'd pay $20 tops for a shot of you laughin'...

Hmac thank you so much for giving us the heads up on this, your work will not go unappreciated.

I have many preparations to do to make my lowly self ready for this special nay blessed event. From first watching Girl Interrupted and Interview with the Vampire to Mr. & Mrs. Smith where the Holy Couple met, to then fasting for 25 hours (because the Holy Couple are so special their day has an extra hour, us lowly peons don't deserve).

All this to prepare my humble self for the images of the result of their perfect love. I have waiting for this day for ten months (because perfection takes an extra month to gestate) that I can hardly wait. I look forward to joining the rest of the world, if not the whole galaxy and viewing our future world leaders. Praise to the Holy Couple!!

At 5pm pacific standard time today, I'll be preparing myself for 16 frosty ounces of Coor Light out of a dirty glass from Andy's Dancing near Golden State and Tent City... and I'll be getting much more satisfaction for a fraction of the price. I suggest a similar route of passing time to all beehive readers.

Is it possible for the ugly people of the world to get a life and realize that you will never in your life be as good looking and rich as they are? I mean, why put yourself through so much misery of following their every move, when if you literally were dying on the street and they by some 1 trillion to one chance passed you on the street, wouldn't even notice or acknowledge your existence and pass you by like you were literally a piece of dirt on the sidewalk.
The funniest thing is to see so much hype on tv about these two by entertainment shows whose reporters actually spend their lives covering these two and think what they are doing is worthwhile or somehow cool? Get a clue. Your life is a pathetic existance trying to live vicariously through celebrities like them when you are infinitely more ugly and fat than they are. You will never even approach their good looks and wealth so get over it and get a real job.

So important, Michael had to say it twice.

To be fair to Brad and Angelina, they are known for giving to charity the proceeds from selling their children's likenesses to tabloid magazines.

---yikes, that sounded mighty creepy. I'll compliment you by saying what the cardboard sign said that my pal when we were kids put up in his front picture window when a rock had knocked a hole in it---'nicely thrown'.

Stupid interweb, sorry Heather.

And you make a great point, they do donate the money to charity. It just upsets me that these gossip mags will do anything and they make it seem so important that everyone feels like they need to go out and buy the magazine. But I guess the blame rests on the people who buy these mags. If no one bought them then the magazines wouldn't pay an exhorbent amount for some baby photos.

And Mr. I, Hmac is worth way more than $20. At least $30.

Giving the money to charity is simply a ploy used for more publicity. Do you really think that they care that the equivalent of $10 to them is given to charity? Of course not. They positve press about how they are so wordly and are such humanitarians far outweighs missing out on such a low sum of money.
I have never seen why people seem to think that they have such a connection with stars such as Brad and Angelina. It is so delusional that so much of the population literally think that celebs such as Brad and Angelina are somehow connected to the general public and people they have never even met. Haha. I guess whatever makes you feel better about your sad life.
Unless you similarly bought a 60 million+ house in France a few months ago, I doubt you realize how easy it is to throw away 4 million or in this case 10-15 million.

Actually Jolie has done a ton of humanitarium work ever since she filmed Tomb Raider in Cambodia and saw how bad things are there. She's works with Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Though I guess she just does that for publicity as well. Plus moving to a post New Orleans Katrina, yeah that was for publicity too.

People don't connect with celebs, they wish they were them.

Old news. Michael you are totally buying into the hype. Get over it. Angelina doesn't even know who you are and you will never get to meet her or talk to her. Haha. It is people like you who continue to make her a bigger and bigger star with stars in your eyes and delusions of grandeur in your mind.
Bill Gates and Warren Buffet in one day do more humanitarian work through their foundations than Angelina will do in her whole life and you don't see them parading around to news outlets touting how great they are. Simply for publicity and if you disagree, then you are just a statistic of just how celebrity obsessed and pathetic many Americans are. Live in your real world. Not through a person you will never even meet or talk to.

I like them. They're celebs which puts them into slight douche status, but at least they use that celebrity to do some good. They could be running around like the other dozen or so losers spending money on future landfill items... at least a lot of their cash goes to making better lives for others.

For the record, Christie, could you provide a list of all of the great things you've done for humanity? You know, just so we can put you on the proper pedestal.

Hurry! Hurry! Pictures of two babies that probably look
like...two babies! I know I'm going to be first in line the
day there printed, and God help anyone who get's in my way.
After all, 14 million was paid. That's why Halle Berry was
so P.O.d to find paparazzi in her back yard. You're costing me money people! I know, I know, Charity. But you can't tell me any of that isn't going into a little college fund.

wait. wait. this is kinda like when Mario Savio (not but 3 hours from Fresno) said:

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all! "

that's kinda like People Magazine, right?

Christie, thank you so very much for pointing out the errors of my ways. You must know all about me to make such an astute observation as you did about me. I cannot understand how I lived my measly life before being set straight by you. However shall I repay you?

And Blake you hit it on the head, I couldn't have said it better than myself.

Told you Hmac. Anything that comes from the womb of Mère Jolie is holy.

Wow, that was worth 14 million dollars. Not. 99.99999% of people who look at the pictures/are stupid enough to buy the magazine, will never meet or speak to Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt in their entire lives. And for that matter, throw in all of their kids and there are 6 more people that you will only see in magazines or tv. Live in your own real worlds, not vicariously through celebrities who have zero effect on your lives. They will never know who you are, so why do you care so deeply and waste so much time being all up in strangers' business? I don't get it.

Looks like our troll is back. "Christie's" comments won't be published anymore, folks.

Really, HMac? Christie didn't seem so bad...didn't call anyone names or anything.


Anyways, on to my comment, which will emasculate me even more than I do to myself on a daily basis:

I love looking at the picture of those babies. I live vicariously through the gorgeousness that God hath created. The joy of two beautiful/talented/f'd up beings who have lovingly pro-created.

I thrill that, of all the people who SHOULD be having babies, these two are. They can afford babies. They try to leave but a slight carbon footprint. The parents will teach their children that it's okay to be f'd up, that helping the world and working on social justice issues is crucial. That their beauty really doesn't matter...it's hard work that makes the person.

Christie, I worked on a series for the new Green Channel. I asked the host, a gorgeous model (named Summer Raines, seriously) what the number one thing we could do for the world was, and she said "stop having children. Especially if you're poor or unable to raise them properly."

Brad and Angelina are not poor, and will raise them properly. And they will rip off the corporations like People Magazine and funnel that money where it's more necessary to save the world.

I'm sorry, Christie, but I buy this one. Angelina Jolie is our Princess Diana, except her f-ups are more obvious and won't need to be revealed in post-mortem books and diary entries.

God Bless Angelina, Brad, and their holy children. May they live long and help us to prosper.

I don't think she gets the point of ANY of your posts Heather. Course she is probably so busy with her philanthropic endeavors to even bother.

Posted by: Michael at August 4, 2008 8:08 AM

Christie's not a real person, guys. Christie is the latest name someone is using to rile up Beehive commenters. This person makes up fake email addresses every time, but continues to use the same IP address and even the same angry phrases over and over.

Last week he commented as "Flav" on Mike Oz's birthday post.

Yay the babies are born!!! Now Angelina can go back to her heroin needle!
and we all breath a sigh of relief.

In just a few short weeks "Christie" will be back in school with all the other children whose parents don't monitor their computer use and things will be quiet again.
10 to 1 "Christie" has a bedroom in mom's basement and pictures of Hayden Panty-what's her name up on the walls... and is a guy.... heck... maybe not EVEN in school anymore.
Yikes!

I hope "Christie" does it's philanthropic duty and uses a condom EVERY TIME.

I think "Christie" should man up and use its real name or get the flip off the internet.

Anyhoo, I think the pics of Brangelina and the offspring are beautiful. If they can get two magazines to pay $14 million for the photos, then I say more power to 'em, tho my kids are way cuter.
