PHOTOS When Nancy met Brad

[Jackeens]

Actor Brad Pitt appears with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before their meeting on the "Make it Right" project, in the U.S. Capitol in Washington March 5, 2009. The project was launched in 2007 to construct affordable and environmentally-sustainable housing for low-income residents of the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans who lost their homes as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

1. He looks better than I imagined him to look.

(sometimes you just have to put politics aside and focus on what's important) :P

[graywarrior]

2. He looks good dressed up

Wait...he looks good dressed down.

AND....I'll bet he looks good undressed. (I cannot not go there, can I)

[girl gone mad]

9. I can vouch for him.

He looks good undressed.

:)

10. Photos?

:-)

[Lorien]

46. Well, here's one:

[jasmeel]

14. details please.

[graywarrior]

23. Wait

what?

[Beacool]

16. Hey, hey, keep it clean!!

But I totally agree..........

:evilgrin:

[Cha]

3. Good, I'm really happy with

the work this high profile actor is doing for New Orleans~

[Terran]

4. This is great (Make It Right Foundation) and Brad deserves

major kudos, but I certainly hope HUD will be taking a more active role in rebuilding the 9th Ward. It should NEVER have required a private foundation to be formed to accomplish that. HUD should have been planning to do it from Day 1.

I'm just relieved someone with some means actually did something; I was under the impression that the poorer area of New Orleans were totally being ignored.

5. He met privately with President Obama in the WH today, as well...

I want pics of that! Can you imagine being in that room?

I am proud of Brad---he is a hometown boy from Springfield, MO. Not everyone in SW MO is a conservative wing-nut. Brad and I are two exceptions. LOL

[Jackeens]

8. They're cousins!!!

6. You know I never saw a close up pic of Brad Pitt before.

I have a friend who looks just like him but his hair is blonder (all natural---he's Russian). That's freaky. I never noticed the resemblance until now.

[MoJoWorkin]

7. Brad has kind eyes. I always go to the eyes first--they are the windows to the soul.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

32. your friend and i should meet...

[Hutzpa]

11. Ain't this amazing, what the President ahs unleashed...

it's good to see these guys getting involved, as for Brad, he has one of his project in
Baltimore, where he took a run down neighborhood and turn that area into an affordable
living for folks, he has been doing this for awhile with no recognition, my guess is
now he believes there is someone in the White House he can work with.

Kudos to you pal....

Keep it up...

Don't let George beat you to the punch.....;)

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Demobrat]

12. He looks disgusted in the first one.

Like he wishes he wasn't there.

[Gin]

13. Very nice looking, and getting better with age.

[Bucky]

15. You can't deny there's chemistry there. Goodbye Angelina! Helloooo Nancy!

Meh. Like none of us couldn't have seen this one coming.

[vanboggie]

17. So did Nancy do her flirty giggly act with Brad?

It used to make me sick watching her with the Chimperor - ick. From these photos, she doesn't seem to have as much eye contact with Brad as she did with *. She's camera watching - probably hoping for a People cover.

[Jackeens]

18. Not sure, but someone else sure startled her today:

MARCH 05: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) receives news from a guest during the opening session of the White House's forum on health care reform in the East Room of the White House on March 5, 2009 in Washington, DC

[burning rain]

35. Bah, can't begrudge her for being cute and alive!

I well remember Speakers O'Neill, Wright, Foley, Gingrich, Livington, and Hastert... I never thought I'd look at the Speaker of the House and think, "She's pretty hot!"

[emmadoggy]

19. Mmmmm.... loves me some Brad.....

I'm not a big suit fan, but Brad can wear a suit like nobody's business! Yummy!

Ok, fangirl moment over....

I have so much admiration for the work he has been doing in NO. If it weren't for Brad, how much progress would there be in the 9th Ward? It's a great thing that he's doing.

[firedupdem]

20. He's a cutie... n/t

[CatWoman]

24. Shiloh is as well, as she looks just like him

[Jennicut]

33. Awww, she is a cutie like her Daddy.

Nancy seems to be enjoying her er...meeting with Brad. :)

[chollybocker]

21. Dude. You're on Capitol Hill. Just this once, couldn't you fix up your freakin' tie?

Otherwise. ;) I've noticed three-piece suits are making a comeback ??

[JayMusgrove]

48. The loose tie is a Hollywood thing. Otherwise

He would be mistaken for a common ordinary lobbyist.

[sunnybrook]

22. The 4th picture of BP alone

:loveya: Ooh la la!

[Yavin4]

25. Brancy?

Works for me.

[Renew Deal]

26. Brad looks so sad

I think he wants to go back to the good old days of girls and parties.

[xenussister]

28. What a bizzare thing to say!

"I think he wants to go back to the good old days of girls and parties."

What in the world would make you think that? He's always loved children and has wanted a huge family. He and Angelina were made for each other in that respect (and other respects as well, I'm sure). Every single indication is that he's totally in love with Angelina and they have a happy marriage. Every single indication is that he's delighted with his family and is a good father. Why in hell would you think he wants to go back to girls and parties? And anyway, he was never much of a party boy or girl jumper, he had long-term relationships.

Yeah, I'm a fan of his movies and his charitable work, but man, what a bizarre thing to say.

[JI7]

29. long before he was with Angelina i remember him speaking

about how he wanted a lot of kids. i don't think he would ever regret being with Angelina even if they were to get a divorce because of the kids they had together .

i agree, it is a strange thing to say. people can be and look sad for many reasons. i don't even think he is sad as much as just being serious and concerned about something.

[emmadoggy]

36. I totally agree.

Except for one thing - they aren't married. Of course, they seem so happy and committed and such great parents that it's hard not to think of them that way.;-)

[Renew Deal]

38. Look at those pictures

He just doesn't look happy. I don't know if he's tired, or tired of doing this stuff, or something else. But he had an amazing life before he got married. Now he has his kids, but he's also sucked into all this other stuff.

You have no idea if he's "totally in love with Angelina" or if they have a happy marriage. Every indication doesn't say that, though it's none of our business.

I'm a fan of his too. I think I will always be a fan of his for Fight Club. He was amazing in an amazing role, in an amazing movie. He's also been great in most of the rest of his movies. (12 Monkeys, Seven, Snatch, The Mexican, Babel, and even Troy). But that has nothing to do with the rest of this.

[Vektor]

40. It could be...

That being married to Morticia Adams is beginning to depress him. :shrug:

[CakeGrrl]

43. They're not married.

He could simply walk if he wanted to, but he hasn't.

Are there a few Jennifer Aniston fans in the forum?

:evilgrin:

[Vektor]

45. Nah, I don't pay attention to celebrity gossip much.

Which might be why I didn't even know their actual marital status. :shrug:

No preference on who he shacks up with, though. It's his business.

[annabanana]

27. He has gotten cuter as he's gotten older....

damn him all to hell. . .

[JI7]

30. you can tell Pelosi is happy and Brad Pitt looks better now than

when he was younger.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

31. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

he looks so damn good...

[AyanEva]

34. What strikes me the most

Is what someone up-thread said about how his eyes are friendly. They really are. I just get the urge to like give him a hug or something because he looks like such a nice, kind person. He looks like the sort of celebrity who would actually stop and help you if you accidentally dropped a bunch of important papers all over the sidewalk.

[emmadoggy]

39. I agree.

I have been a fan of his for a long time and everything that I have seen of him makes me believe that he truly IS a very kind and considerate person. There is a gentleness about him that I just love.

[Kalyke]

37. Never understood why people think he's so attractive.

He looked hot in "Thelma & Louise," but has looked fairly average ever since.

:shrug:

(And, yes, I'm female and straight)

[emmadoggy]

41. Well, to each their own, I guess...

I don't think Brad has those "perfect" facial features, but I tend to think that people who are not quite so "perfect" are more attractive sometimes.

But for me his attractiveness comes more from not only his body & looks (yum!) but it's more about the way that he carries himself, the way he expresses himself, the timbre of his voice.....as I said upthread, there is a kindness and gentleness about him..... I don't know, I just find him to be very swoon-worthy.

On the other hand, millions of women seem to swoon over Tom Cruise and I have NEVER found him to be attractive AT ALL. So like I said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

[Kalyke]

42. I don't think Tom Cruise is hot either.

LOL... I like Jason Lee, so, so much for my thinking people have to have "perfect" features, eh?

Really, I just never thought Pitt was all that and a bag of rocks.

George Clooney, on the other hand... :evilgrin:

Maybe it's that I don't like blonde men all that much. :shrug:

[emmadoggy]

44. LOL. Funny you should say that...

In general, I am not drawn to blonde men either! LOL. Brad is really one of the only ones. (Although he really isn't blonde much anymore....)

And you had to go and mention Clooney, huh?! Geez, back in the day (during ER etc.) I never really got the fervor over Clooney but I think he has gotten better and better with age and his personality is just completely irresistible. Now I think he is just wonderful (and sexy). It doesn't hurt that when he does that crooked, smirky grin of his, it freakishly reminds me of my Dad who passed away several years ago! Yeah, I got a thing for Clooney too.....

And Hugh Jackman, and Will Smith, and......:9

[CTyankee]

47. This'll drive a few freepers over the cliff! Pelosi and Pitt!

They're choking on their own bile now, these RW shitheads.

I say BRING IT ON! More Pitt, more Clooney, more handsome and beautiful liberals. Up against them, the pukes got um, Mitch McConnell, Gunga Dim Jindal, trampy Palin, the whole line up.

Encore!
