Brad Pitt has quit smoking

Oct 11, 2005, 11:15 GMT

Brad Pitt has quit smoking for the sake of Angelina Jolie's children.

The Hollywood heartthrob has given up cigarettes because his stunning girlfriend doesn't like him smoking around four-year-old Maddox and baby Zahara.

Brad is reportedly finding the nicotine withdrawal difficult, but sources claim Angelina is helping him every step of the way.

A friend revealed to America's People magazine: "Angelina wraps him up in love and comfort and he just calms down."

Meanwhile, Maddox has been overheard calling Brad 'Daddy'.

The Cambodian-born tot was heard referring to the actor as his father during a recent day out at the Galaxyland Amusement Park in Edmonton, Canada. Onlooker Sarah Gardener revealed: "Maddox was looking around at all the rides and he said, 'Daddy, can we go on that?'"

Good! Smoking is such a nasty habit. But I thought
Brad had quit smoking earlier because Angie had
put a no-sex ban on him until he did.

Brad quit smoking months ago. And he never smoked around
the children.

Did he quit cold turkey? Because that approach does not
work. He should gradually cut down. Another problem
with smoking cigarettes is that gives you an oral
fixation. You are so used to having something in your
mouth. I would crunch on celery or chew gum to get
over that.

Not just for the sake of the children...but for his
health too.

I should hope so. Second hand smoke is even
more dangerous than smoking cigarettes directly.
This article was boring. I want more wedding
scoop! I read from previous postings that
Angelina had a miscarriage. That is heartbreaking.
But that may not be true.

I heard rumors that Angelina is pregnant. It is the
buzz in L.A. right now. But it is all just gossip
of course. That may be another reason he quit smoking.

Zaza,

Your sole basis for accusing Brad and Angelina of adultery is based on tabloid rumors!!!! Tabloids are full of lies, rumors, gossip, and speculation. They have both emphatically denied having an affair while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Their romance began AFTER that marriage was over. Brad and Jen had a mutual, amicable divorce. There was NO correlation between what was
really happening in their marriage and what was being said in the tabloids. It
was Star Magazine who started the affair rumors, who dragged Angelina into this mess. And after Brad and Jen split, this rumor spread to all the celebrity
magazines. It went completely out of control!

Brad and Angelina did become close friends during Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but they did NOT cross that line. Did it occur to you, that Brad Pitt may have a
conscience, and he resisted temptation? But they did have a strong natural chemistry and formed a strong bond. When his marriage to Jennifer ended, there was no reason not to act on that chemistry and bond. Angelina may be the girl for Brad, it was not Brad's fault that the tabloids falsely accused him of having an affair while he was still married. He fell in love with the woman he was accused of having an affair with. They didn't plan it, it just happened.
The timing of love and life can be very messy.

They both have denied that they had an affair. Die-hard Jen fans
and gossip mongers have just flat-out refused to believe their
denials. They want an excuse to hate and insult these people.
They just want to believe that Jennifer was this perfect, poor
victim who was dumped by her golden boy husband for a temptress.
It is a juicy and dirty storyline that people just don't want
to let go. Not only are spiteful people accusing them of cheating
and homewrecking which is horrible, they are also are accusing them of
lying. Did you have any solid proof that they are not telling the truth?
Why aren't people giving them the benefit of the doubt?

They both denied having an affair while he was married. When they
did start dating, they chose not to comment on it. I believe Brad
when he says that nothing improper happened between him and Angelina
while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Just because they
are in love now, does not mean they fell in love when they made
Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I am so sick of people bashing them! It is
perfectly believable that the romance started AFTER he and Jen
broke up in January, some people are just refusing to believe
it.

Nobody knows what happened between Brad and Jen. Nobody
knows when Brad and Angelina started their romance. It
could have started after he and Jen split. Those adultery
rumors are from tabloids. Brad and Angie have both denied
the rumors. You have no solid reason not to believe them.
They are together because they are meant to be together.
People are just make snap judgments and conclusions based
on the gossip they are reading. What happens if Brad
and Angelina are telling the truth? Can you imagine
the pain they must be going through, having millions
of people attack their integrity? Don't criticize
or hate people when you don't know the truth!!!!!

People are hating Brad and Angelina on the mere speculation
of adultery, you don't know if is true or not. The speculation
was started by the media. Did it occur to you that Brad and
Jen may have broken up because they were incompatible, and
were just not meant to be together? Don't judge people
when you don't know what happened. Brad did not dump Jennifer,
they both agreed to end their marriage together in January.
Brad and Angelina have both denied having an affair while
he was married, why can't people just respect their denials?
I just want this nastiness from people to stop.

It is amazing how people are just refusing
to respect Brad and Angelina's denials
of an affair. The media and public has
respected the denials of other celebrities.

Ex 1. There was some rumors of Tom Cruise
and Penelope Cruz having an affair while
they were making Vanilla Sky, he was still
married to Nicole Kidman. Tom dumped Nicole
a couple of months after making that movie.
And a couple of months after he filed for
divorce, he was flaunting Penelope at
movie premieres. Tom denied cheating on
Nicole and Penelope denied wrecking Tom's
marriage. There was a minor backlash from
some people, but the majority of the media
and public seemed to respect their denials.
Tom Cruise was not branded as an adulterer,
Penelope was not branded as a homewrecker,
and you did not see Nicole Kidman milking
the sympathy from the public the way Jennifer
has been doing. Tom and Penelope's reputations
were not destroyed.

Ex 2. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez made Gigli
together while she was still married to Cris Judd.
Shortly after the shooting of that movie ended,
Jennifer dumped and divorced Cris Judd. She
immediately started dating Ben Affleck. She was
flaunting that relationship everywhere! You
didn't see any people show sympathy for Cris
Judd. Nobody accused them of adultery! You didn't
see the public hating them. In fact the media
and public seemed to love them until they
became overexposed.

Ex 3. Jennifer Garner was married to Scott Foley
when she started doing the show 'Alias'. Her
marriage fell apart soon afterwards. She
dumped Scott Foley. A few weeks later, she was
dating her costar Michael Vartan. You didn't
have people making nasty assumptions, saying
that Jennifer dumped Scott to date Micheal.

Then you have all those celebrities in Hollywood
who actually committ adultery. Their popularity
did not seem to suffer. Adultery is wrong and
not to be tolerated, but you have no proof
that Brad and Angelina committed adultery, other
than the fact that they were accused of it, and
that they are together now. But there does not
have to be a correlation to an old relationship
ending and a new one beginning. The public
respected the denials of those major celebrities,
why can't you respect Brad and Angie's denials!?

I have posted frequently on articles concerning Brad
and Angelina. I am so tired of being involved in
this debate! I am so tired of these dense, vicious
people attacking them, accusing of them cheating
and lying. Quit bashing them! Plus, Brad and Jen
are history. People are still pointing fingers,
making accusations, spouting more lies and gossip
about why that marriage broke up. This article
is about Brad and Angelina, and their new life
together. Why can't their fans post their good
wishes in peace? Why do we constantly have to
be harassed by Jen fans? Your whole basis
for accusing Brad of infidelity is based on a
rumor. I really hope Brad and Angelina have
found true love and happiness together. I
hope they don't the nasty media and nasty
half of the public who support Jennifer
destroy them. I believe them!!!

Ugh, not this again! Ignore the haters.
They will not change their minds about
Brad and Angelina. There is no use in
debating with them. Jen fans will continue
to blame Angelina for that divorce. I am
getting fed up with arguing constantly with
them whenever I try to support Brad and
Angelina. Let's just stop this!!! I don't
want these postings to turn into an ugly
debate. This is an emotional topic for
everyone who has an opinion on this
couple. This article is about Brad
quitting smoking. I praise him for
doing so. I wish Brad and Angelina
nothing but the best.

Excuse me? Why do people who support Brad and Angelina
have to keep quiet? Are we are just supposed to sit back
and let you spitefully attack Brad and Angelina?! Jen
fans have been nothing but insulting towards Brad and
Angelina. There sole basis for attacking them is the
false adultery rumors. People who support Brad and
Angelina are going to defend them against the attacks
of Jen fans. This article is about Brad and Angelina,
not Jennifer! You have some nerve to tell us to be
quiet!

Angelina AddictOct 20th, 2005 - 20:30:05

I agree! Brad and Jen fans have different opinions on this
couple. We are going to defend our opinion and our argument!
We are just not going to let Jen fans attack Brad and Angelina,
when their insults have no merit. Why aren't Brad and Angelina
fans not allowed to defend them? Brad and Angelina fans' just
wanted to post their well wishes...then we have to encounter
the malicious people who support Jennifer. Nobody came here
to debate, but if you are going to wrongly criticize Brad
and Angelina, I will defend them! You have NO right to tell
me to be quiet!

If anyone needs to shut up, it is the Jen fans.
This forum is about Brad and Angelina....and you
are telling their fans to be quiet! That is
outrageous! We will defend them and show our
support against people who are against them!
This shouldn't be the case, we should be able
to compliment them without having to deal with
Jen fans.

Everybody just cool down. I agree with Neville, just
ignore the haters, they will NOT change their mind.
There is no neutral ground here. The people who
support Jennifer will never wish Brad and Angelina
happiness, and will continue to wrongly accuse them
of something despicable like adultery. They will
disregard everything that Brad and Angelina have
said and will disregard everything that we say.
Enough of this!
