@dcorsetto: I share your best friend's caveat about not making assumptions.

@ZoetheBitch: The Jolie-Pitt kids go to Lycee Francais schools which, I understand, have the same curriculum on the same time track in the same language (French) as well as the local language all over the world. That's continuity in schools - they can move between L.A., NY, Provence, Venice, Berlin, Budapest and not…

@rolandbarks: They rented the place.

@dreamweave: In her recent Vogue interview, she said she wanted to make a short movie before Pitt had to start Moneyball, somewhere the kids would have fun & be exposed to cultural experiences, etc. Plus Johnny & Florian wanted to do it & they're both amazing.

@sissylarue: Umm, she had to work for her money; the Jolie-Pitts paid rent for where they lived as well as utilities & food, etc. or else we'd have heard about it while The Tourist was filming.

I call shenanigans on "and their late brother's estate" participation on this clothing line until the Estate confirms this. Sure, Michael's Estate has looked at all possible means to raise money to pay all his debts & support his kids, mom & charities - but they're very careful about keeping Michael's legacy at a…

@LaComtesse: Sorry, I was imprecise - I didn't mean to say you said it was hypocritical, I meant to say conservatives criticizing Olbermann & Maddow's defense of him as being hypocritical are in essence saying donating a drop of water is the same as donating Niagara Falls.

@LaComtesse:

@HurricaneEyes: For you & LittleMissVixen - [www.hollywoodreporter.com]

@LittleMissVixen: That's not what Maddox said. Maddox was quoted as saying Olbermann broke the rule & shouldn't be treated differently. That said, given the scale/scope of his mistake Olbermann had been punished enough.

@neverdiplomatic: I don't know...if I had the time, and even if I had the time I would choose to spend the time to think about this...

@Rosa - que seria de mi?!: Read that TuPac released 8 posthumous albums vs. 5 alive. He was convinced he was going to die before his time, so he built up his catalog of work.

@Bonster: It's not shaming all working women, it's shaming *this* particular working woman which I think was the ironic point of the comment by the OP - that is, Jolie is called out on a lot of things other women/men aren't criticized on. It's a pattern we'd be disengenuous to deny.

@Bonster: It's common for cast & crew to work 12-18 hour days during principle shooting. I found this out just by being a movie buff & reading articles about how movies are made - it also helps that I have relatives who are a film editor & writer/director. Bigelow, Streisand, Holofcenter, Ephron & the females…

@HeartRateRapid: Your literal words "little information" + misinformation = dangerous leap to wrong conclusion. I also question the idea of anyone - not just you - judging anything/anyone based on "little information" and not hard facts.

@DinaRonson : Elizabeth Cady Stanton: First (or among the first, anyway) among American women, there was Ida Lupino. And plenty of actress/directors since Ms. Lupino. The difference is Madonna can't act. And before the obvious rejoinder re Jolie: 1 Oscar, 2 SAG, 3 Golden Globes. + numerous noms.

@trampkin: I don't know why notification of your reply showed up today instead of before. I'm not in the movie industry, just a movie buff since 1960. But one son is a film editor. Another is an award-winning writer/director - not big awards, mind you - critics/festivals. Two of his features *did* make AFI's best…

@trampkin: Yes, because nothing says "overrated" like your peers voting to give you (Clint Eastwood) Lifetime Achievement Awards by 2 different guilds & 1 preeminent film organization: Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild & the American Film Institute.

@It's you and so not me: Amen. Lainey recently had a test to match photos of Asian, Asian American & Canadian Asian actresses with their names. I bet not too many who weren't part of the above-named groups did well on the test.

@FrankiTheB: Coffee Talks is gonna need y'all to bring Miz Jenkins back: Boycotts aren't the only valid means of protest - they're also among the most powerful means of protest and bring about faster results.
