Did you know they make 300,000 dollar tables? Because I did not. Because why on earth would they? Who would buy one? Well it turns out they do, and it turns out Brad Pitt would buy one. Bloomberg news says…
Brad Pitt was among the buyers of contemporary "design art" furniture at the Design Miami/Basel fair in Switzerland, dealers said today. He paid $293,000 for a hollow white marble rococo-style table by the Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven, Director Loic Le Gaillard said today. "Most people come to Basel to look at contemporary art, but it's completely overwhelming,'' said Le Gaillard. “Then they come to the design fair and it's quiet. They can see contemporary works that are affordable and refreshingly accessible.'' Pitt's 4-foot-long "Cinderella Table'', from an edition of six, is hewn from a solid block of Carrara marble. Pitt also ordered a rug made of aluminum thread from New York dealer Cristina Grajales. The "Silver Sky" rug, created by Colombian designer Jorge Lizarazo and woven by the Colombian-based studio Hechizoo, will be priced at a rate of $175 per square foot. The exact dimensions of the star's rug had yet to be specified. Pitt was also interested in a gold lacquer-coated Fiberglas sofa by Zaha Hadid, offered by London-based dealer Kenny Schachter at $300,000.
This Kenny Schachter guy must be laughing his ass off right now. A 300,000 dollar couch? There’s no such thing. There's nothing you can do to a couch to make it worth 300,000, unless maybe you stuffed it 296,000 dollars. How GD comfortable can you really get? In this context, 300,000 doesn’t even sound like a real number. He might as well say it costs eighty hundred ten.
Now that Angelina Jolie has some black kids, she’s all concerned about making sure black kids are equally represented in children’s media, including Disney films. She told OK magazine she’s upset by the lack of black princesses in Disney movies. "Heeeyyyy!" Oh , wait. Probably not that kind of black princess.
The Tomb Raider star and partner Brad Pitt feel let down by the lack of different cultures featured in children's films - and are urging the movie giant to be more diverse.
The actress, who is pregnant with twins, insists educating their children about culture is important in the Jolie-Pitt household.
"(So) even the colour of the children in the cartoon matters.
"There still isn't a Disney princess that's African and it's very difficult because our daughters' getting into princesses right now and it upsets me."
Ironically Disney is making a movie exactly like Angelina described right now, called "the Princess and The Frog". Disney says, "a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter. From the heart of Louisiana's mystical bayous and the banks of the mighty Mississippi comes an unforgettable tale of love, enchantment and discovery with a soulful singing crocodile, voodoo spells and Cajun charm at every turn."
I grew up in the swamps of Louisiana, and we don’t have crocodiles we have alligators but whatever. Also New Orleans is no where near Cajun country but that’s fine too. “An unforgettable tale of discovery with a soulful singing crocodile”? Awesome. What a solid idea. Teach little kids that crocodiles are friendly. “Look kids, a crocodile, just like in that movie. Go give him a big hug and I'll get a picture. Grab his front feet and sing and dance with him. That’s right, lots of big sudden movements, that’s what they like!”
OK! magazine passes on a rumor today that Angelina Jolie may have already given birth to her twins, and in fact she may have done it almost a week ago. OK says…
There may be nothing more than wishful thinking to reports coming out of France this morning that Angelina Jolie, who was due to give birth to twins some time in the next three to four weeks, has indeed already delivered her fifth and sixth children.
According to rumors, the Oscar-winner gave birth on Sunday in a Catholic clinic in the Aix-En-Provence region of France. No further details are forthcoming at this moment.
The rumor of course is that she’s having twin girls. Which would be hot. Unless it's Siamese twins. That would be creepy. Because we're gonna have to look at these kids all the damn time. She’d be like that dragon in the Godzilla movies, one body with three heads. And she'd use her powerful gravity beams to destroy our cities. Won’t someone help us!!!
UPDATE - Entertainment Tonight just sent out an email alert saying, "A source close to Angelina Jolie confirms that Jolie has given birth to twins in France."
UPDATED UPDATE - or not, according to People. "Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France," a rep for the actress says.
The unthinkable hell you’re looking at above is the new “house” Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt bought over the weekend. Near Provence in the south of France, the main building has 35 bedrooms and sits on 1000 acres, an estate complete with a vineyard, lake, forest and a moat. You read that right by the way. A fucking moat. Cost: 60 million dollars. E! says…
The pre-Roman estate also boasts a swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, his-and-hers gyms, sauna and jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall. Magnificent cascading stone-walled terraces have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives, and water is everywhere on the sprawling estate—20 fountains, aqueducts and a stream that runs through hidden tunnels, passes through the moat and fills the lake. Except for the ponies and goats grazing in the nearby fields, "the house is surrounded by a forest so they'll have total privacy, which is exactly what they're after," the source tells E! "No one will ever be able to get pictures of them relaxing at home, it's just impossible." The Jolie-Pitts hope to be completely moved in within the next three months, if not sooner. For the past year, Brad and Angelina had been house-hunting in the area, where residents include Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis and U2 frontman Bono.

Jenna Jameson is famous because she lets random men cum on her face for money while they film it. I sometimes have to remind myself of that when I see her on The View or Jay Leno, just to make sure this surreal moment in American pop culture doesn't pass me by. Anyway, she tells Us magazine that she wants to start a family, but doesn’t see the need to get married first. Just like Angelina Jolie!
"I think I'm gonna stay unmarried, and just go for the babies!" Jameson, 34, told Usmagazine.com at Maxim's Hot 100 bash in L.A. Wednesday. "I'm following in Angelina's footsteps!
"We're trying for a baby, so hopefully in the next couple of months!" she added.
Why is she so over saying "I Do?"
Two failed marriages," she said. "[Marriage] is really just a piece of paper."
Jameson was wed to fellow porn star Brad Armstrong (they split in 2001) and adult film studio owner Jay Grdina (they split in 2006).
Her two-year relationship with boxer Tito Ortiz is "so fabulous, like, fantastic," she said.
Well, he's not a boxer, hes an MMA fighter, and he actually has a fight this Saturday night against Loyota Machida. I like Tito a lot because he's super patriotic, and lately hes been coming out with "Mosh" by Eminem as his entrance music. That’s a cool song. Makes him look scary. I think one mistake I made with my ultimate fighting matches was coming out to "Coward of the County" by Kenny Rodgers. In hindsight I think that just filled my opponent with confidence.
Angelina Jolie is in France all week for the Cannes Film Festival, and yesterday she was caught changing her top on the patio of the villa where she and Brad Pitt are staying. The statue behind her is also naked if any of you perverts care about that. If the price is right, maybe I can steal it for you. Because I’m so strong. In the criminal underworld, they call me Lifto The Amazing.
