Brad Pitt is a Genius!!

Whatta guy

Just think of the divorce settlement this will avoid later.

I'd bet he actually means it, but damn, it's still funny!

He's full of it.

I wonder if Tom Cruise will jump on this reason and try it with Katie. I heard Scientology isn't too fond of homosexuality though, so probably not.

What a crock. As if anyone cares if he gets married or not.

Maybe.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he really means it though.

He seems like a well meaning guy.

Well, then he should go on a hunger strike until it happens.

That's just plain stupid!

"Sorry, Jolee Jr. Daddy isn't marrying Mommie until gay marriage is leagal."

Please!

He’s not a genius. He is a guy who wanted a kid of his own, who most likely won’t even be involved much. Great guy! Knock her up for your benefit. Sorry. There was a time I liked the guy.

If rumors about Jennifer Aniston are true, not wanting to have a child, then good for her. DON’T do it girl for anyone’s sake but your own. Excuse the outburst. I will try to refrain from future outbursts.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Do you think he's actually doing what I was 1/4 jokingly saying he was a genius for coming up with?

Does that mean you're a jerk, too?

I agree - I doubt he will be involvled much either. Kids are kind of like this year's chihuauahs (sp??).. Last year it was cute to lug the little dog around town dressed in cute little outfits, this year it's babies.

As someone who raised a child by herself because DOD (dear old dad - as I always called him) wasn't all that interested, I think Brad's attitude sucks. It hardly gives the child any sense of normalcy or the feeling that they were conceived and born out of a loving relationship. I know my kid feels those feelings. It sucks when all the daddies are in the hockey locker room getting their kids dressed and Travis was in the corner with Mom. Of course, Angelina will just send a Manny or something.

In NY there is a huge campaign to encourage fathers to not only pay their child support but also to BE fathers.

The sad part is how fast he jumped in to adopt the other two children and some jacka$$ judge let him do it. Being a father is more than being a sperm donor.

A genious for getting out of having to marry her, but an idiot for the way he chose to do so.

If he really wanted to marry her he'd do it without a second thought of gay marriage, right.

I mean would you look at your girl friend and say, "Gee, darling I really love you and our daughter and really want to tie the knot but... as a tribute to you and gays around the world and for the sake of cause...let's wait until gay marriage is approved! Let's take a stand!"

If she's just as stupid as he is, she'll agree. If she's smart, she'll see his scam and do something about it.

When my wife gets home, I'm going to try this on her. We'll see how it works out.

Brad doesn't do much for me, and I don't think I've ever seen any of his movies, but he seems to be a fairly sincere and relatively normal fellow. He was brought up in a close, middle class family with a strong work ethic, and he actually seems to care about the various causes that he advocates. Maybe gay marriage is one of them - or perhaps he's just yanking the media's chain so they will halt speculation about his private life.

If you were a celebrity it seems like it would be impossible not to screw around with the media, doesn't it? That's what this sounds like to me.

And being a mother is more than providing the womb...

Very true- and I wonder how much of a mother Angelina is going to be.

A pretty one.

I always wonder what the kids do when they grow up and they hang out wiht their friends who rent, for example, Gaia or one of her movies that has a fair amount of sex in it. I mean, is little Sean Preston, in ten years, going to get "Brittney Spears n3wd!" emails?

It would destroy my brain.

I'm confused. Is he holding off marrying Angelina until polygamy is made legal?

I guess I'm a bit surprised by the rigidity of opinion about two adults and three children none of us know the first thing about. I haven't seen anything reported that would make me suspect of their fitness to be good and loving parents. Angelina Jolie has sobered significantly from her scary party-girl days and Brad Pitt, who knows? Seems as okay as the guy at the end of my block.
