A-List: Brad Pitt

Pitt requested that artist Chuck Close shoot the pictures accompanying this story. "You can't be the fair-haired young boy forever," says Close, known for his superdetailed portraits that reveal every skin flaw. "Maybe a photograph of him with his crow's-feet and furrowed brow is good for him." Read the complete interview.

Brad Pitt is a man like any other man. Jen was boring. Angelina was exciting. I don't know anyone who would stay in a passionless marriage when they find the real deal. Jen and Angelina are two completely different types of women. Neither is worse than the other. They both have their weaknesses and their strengths. Brad chose Angelina over Jen. End of story.

I am sick of hearing about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. He divorced his wife, Jennifer Aniston, to be with Jolie. Aniston is a clean cut, beautiful woman who has a lot of love in her and what Pitt did to her just to be with this strange woman, Jolie, is unforgiveable. You'd think he was the next Paul Newman - and that he ain't. No way, Jose. BTW why can't Jolie and Pitt adopt babies from American soil - it seems to me they'd want to support their own and give them a good home with food and clothes and love and education.

Folks, get a life. If you live in the US, you know that all marriages do not work, expecially in Hollywood. Yes, Jen and Brad made a fairy tail couple, but maybe that's how it looked from the outside. Whateven went wrong, both of them have right to move on and find happiness. I am glad Brad did.

Angelina Jolie can try and try to polish her image all she wants, but she will always be so trashy to me. She will always be a blood-wearing, tatoo-covered, brother-kissing, home-wrecker. Brad Pitt is a weak man who has no appeal to me at all since he left his wife so publicly. Wrinkled or not. Good luck on the image-control. It will take more than some "sweet" pictures, it will take a time machine.

I think that it is true that Brad and Jen still talk, I belive they once loved each other deeply, but even back then Brad said they would stay married for however long THEIR forever lasted..I think that is a good indication that they went into their marriage with open eyes. The lived a lifestyle of excess, partied all over the world, stuff we can't even conceive of with THEIR wealth,, I think Brad completely fell head over heels with Angie, and then her kid's..Angie is a dynamic woman, his life with her is filled with "what life is really about", children and family. I saw Brad, while still married to Jen, on O.W.'s show, and she was asking about wanting children, and Brad teared up and was obviously emotional about wanting children, being a Father..I think ultimately CHILDREN was then end of Jen and the beginning of Angie..so, yes, I think Jen obviously isn't interested in children herself, even at this juncture of her life, but Brad, he wanted a family, and that is what they have...and Mr. Hollywood could have ANY lifestyle he could imagine, and it's come down to the heart, it KNOWS what it want's. God Bless them All, and Jen may still cringe whenever she see's or speaks to Angie ,but I think she is classy enough to handle it. They r regular people, just like us, MOVIE's are NOT reality.

"Brad Pitt requested artist Chuck Close." Gag and yawn.

We do not know everything that goes on behind closed doors with Brad and Jen. I am so excited to see that he is a father now, and especially with a woman who is so compassionate about children. I envy this couple and would love to meet their growing family one day. And I love the interracial children she/they adopt(s), which kind of reminds me of my little family. Brad and Angelina, whatever you guys are doing, I say that it is the right thing. Keep it strong!

Looking pretty tired and raggedy. Careful what you ask for...

I am so tired of these two people being glorified. One is just a cheating husband and the other is a two-faced home wrecker. They are human and kind of trashy in my book.
