Michael Douglas on Pitt-Jolie love

Mar 14, 2006, 12:33 GMT

Michael Douglas has slammed Brad Pitt for leaving ex-wife Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.

The actor - who was once treated for sex addiction - has questioned Brad's decision and mocked the couple's adopted children.

He said in an interview with America's GQ magazine: 'I don't know about Brad Pitt leaving that beautiful woman to go hold orphans for Angelina Jolie. I mean, how long is that going to last?'

The 62-year-old star - who is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones - also attacked Renée Zellweger over her four-month marriage to Kenny Chesney and Julia Roberts for splitting from Lyle Lovett after 21 months.

He said: 'Don't ask me what happened with Renée Zellweger and her ex-husband Kenny Chesney. I don't know how you can be married for four months.

'And what about Julia with Lyle. There must be some incredible things you find out one night.'

Referring to his own marriage to Zeta-Jones, who is 25 years his junior, Douglas said the pair keep their marriage alive when they are apart by talking on the phone at least four times a day.

He explained: 'You learn to respect something of value and nurture it and treat it well.'

For once I agree with what Michael Douglas has said. Marriage is not like a disposable nappy. Why go into the union, no one in hellywood has any respect for the union, they think it a 'fad' to be married, it a mockery.

Michael Douglas is dead wrong about Brad & Angelina. He has
some nerve bashing Brad & Angelina on the false tabloid rumors
considering his own nasty divorce with Diandra. Brad does have
strong family and moral values. And he does value the santicty
of love and marriage. He made the right decision to end that
first marriage. He was wasting his life with you-know-who.
They mutually and amicably agreed to end their marriage in
January after years of being unhappily married. Those two
were not compatible and were not in love anymore. There
was no correlation to what was really happening in that
marriage to what the tabloids were saying. There was no
scandal, love triangle, or betrayal. You-know-who decided
to pretend to be a victim when she is not...decided to
exploit all the false rumors...to ruin two good people...
and to make herself more powerful and popular out of
people's pity. She contributed to the storyline the
media fabricated. She added b.s. and lies of her own.
Now she is backtracking in her latest interview
and contradicting evcrything she said and did after
the divorce...just to get more respect and admiration
from her fans. The media is using and abusing Brad
and Angelina. This storyline they made up has caused
higher sales, higher ratings, and higher reactions
from the public. The more people that respond and believe
the rumors and lies...the more the media generates and repeats
the lies. They are now circulating all of these lies and rumors
and reporting it as if it were the truth. All of this got
started by the tabloids. All of this nastiness stemmed from
one false rumor. That one false rumor would spawn a million
other false rumors. You-Know-Who and the media are profitting
and benefitting from this...at the expense at destroying the
reputations of two good people. This has gone so extremely
out of control and out of line.

Anyway, if you want to get a better insight into Brad and
Angelina's side of the story..go to the Brad Pitt or Angelina
Jolie box on the side of this article...click on more...you
will see a bunch of articles about Brad and Angelina. Scroll
down to the 'More on Pitt and Jolie Wedding' Article and
read the postings there. Those horrible accusations about Brad and
Angelina are false. Our group is all about combating against
massive cruelty and injustice...and what is happening to
Brad & Angelina is very vicious and not right. That is why
we are doing this.

I wonder myself what was Brad thinking when he left Jennifer for a tattooed, blood sucking, brother kising nasty woman like Angelina. Yes, she adopts children from other countries and why? For publicity she is always having them with her for Show ONLY!!! If I was Angelina I would be worried about brads roaming eye.. he may of had problems with Jen but, look back at their photos 1 week before they seperated. They were Happy and in Love. No one could put on that good of an act. But when I see Brad and Angelina they always look sad. Hardly ever smiling and never the affection or the sparkle in their eyes like Brad and Jen had when they looked at each other. Jen is a Beautiful woman and Jolie has nothing on her. Come on Brad even you aren't looking Hot anymore!!! One day I hope you realize what you gave up and for What?? We all have heard Jolie never stays true to one man or woman. Is that who you really wanted to give birth to your first child and raise it ?? What were you Thinking????

Yeah, Michael Douglas has squat to say on this matter. The man admitted to being a sex addict. This guy had major problems before Catherine Zeta Jones. He has to stay committed to his marriage now because he is no longer the bread winner in the family....she is!! I just love how so many people feel that God has given them his right to pass judgement on other people....ye who is without sin shall cast the first stone!!! Michael Douglas sure doesn't qualify, not even close. I'm darn sure that all of you haters out there don't qualify either!! Before you trash other people's lives, look at your own first and make sure you haven't done anything that other people consider sinful or immoral in any way, maybe even once. That's why this world is spiraling downward. You should take more time in your life to watch the news, read the papers and be more concerned about what is happening in our world, instead of the lives of two actors. If you want to see haters, look at how our country is being viewed by everyone else, then sit and watch the news one night and see how we are treating each other as human beings. Then pass judgement on yourself and ask where your choice of living falls...hate is a powerful emotion and it's spreading like a disease right now!!

Michael Douglas is indeed a hypocrite & like a true hypocrite shouts the loudest. He left his own wife for another. Brad Pitt was living a wasted life with Ms Aniston looking happy for the tabloids but devoid of true happiness until he met his soulmate, Jolie. I once watched a documentary of Pitt (while married to Aniston) in Africa visiting some tribes in a hut and he never looked happier. Then he had to return to Hollywood & become a pretty boy again! How sad! How long can Mr Pitt endure being a pretty guy with Aniston and invent new looks for himself to feed the tabloids. It's such a wasted way to live for such a talented & intelligent man. So it was no surprise that he fell head over heels in love with Jolie, a woman noted for her incredible natural beauty, her in-your-face-truthfulness, her acting chops & winning prestigious actress awards, her recognition by the UN in bringing to attention the suffering of people, especially children in Africa & Asia & her 'practice what you preach' philsophy in adopting children as a means of ending poverty. Oh and she is a licensed pilot. Most men are awed by such a woman and wouldn't have the nerve to even try to romance her - she seems and looks intimidating! But Brad had the time to get to know her & took on the challenge. Of course it's sad to break vows but it's worse & wrong to stay in a dead, superficial marriage. So he choose the path to his happiness - one that is fraught with difficult challenges but which rewards him tenfold. It's wonderful to see Pitt develop into a real man and Jolie is and always will be Jolie....no surprises!
