Althouse: Once, it was 20-hour sex sessions.

January 23, 2010

Once, it was 20-hour sex sessions.

Then, it tapered off. And now, Brangelina is no more.

careen said...: It reaffirms my belief that there is *always* something better than marriage *if* you're really at the top of your game - which oddly warms my heart.

Marriage is a nice retirement plan, however. And I'm charmed down to my tippy-toes when I meet an engaged early 20-something couple who have been actively building a life together since high school - as I just did this christmas. If you're going to do it, that's the most perfect version of the high wire act. It would take a tremendous amount of faith but the payoffs are huge. You'll always be with someone who knew you when you were young and vice versa.; 1/23/10, 9:33 PM

Anonymous said...: If you are that attractive and aren't serious about settling down with a family, why get married? And especially why have kids?

I mean, really. Go out and have sex. It's always fun the first time.; 1/23/10, 10:25 PM
Peano said...: It's all about Brad and Angelina. Never mind their children. Family values.; 1/23/10, 10:27 PM

Nobody wants a 'family'

Why have children when you can just get them in Haiti or Africa?; 1/23/10, 10:34 PM

Paul Kirchner said...: I knew the marriage was in trouble when Brad started putting those braids in his goatee. Every time I've seen a guy do that, he's divorced three months later.; 1/23/10, 10:37 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Are we enjoying this breakup..

As we would enjoy the crashing of Air America?; 1/23/10, 10:48 PM

That's pretty mad.; 1/23/10, 11:08 PM
Fred4Pres said...: I am not buying the 20 hour sex sessions. But they have a lot of kids so I wish them well on this. It must be difficult.; 1/23/10, 11:15 PM

I wondered what was up with that but thought it might be for a film. They're for real though? What are they, some sign of solidarity with the third world:"horn-rows"? Yeesh.
I do feel sorry for the the kids, but otherwise, their Schade is kinda my Freude.; 1/23/10, 11:18 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I am not buying the 20 hour sex sessions.

I got a bootleg.. just send me an e-mail I'm sure we can work something out ;); 1/23/10, 11:37 PM

And she a UN ambassador?; 1/23/10, 11:40 PM

William said...: Money. Fame. Good Looks. Great Sex. And they end up miserable together. There don't seem to be any sure fire qualifiers for domestic bliss. Well, a lot of people will feel more comfortable in their squat lives upon hearing of this.; 1/24/10, 12:19 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Brangelina doesn't feel anything anymore.; 1/24/10, 12:39 AM

Beth said...: It might be so, but I'll believe it when they actually announce it. What is the "News of the World"? What kind of attribution is "we can reveal"?; 1/24/10, 12:51 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Brangelina came tumbling down.; 1/24/10, 12:59 AM
Titus said...: Went to dindin at Whole Foods tonight with my husband. Yes, it is tough, at times, going out for dindin with a vege. Not as many options as you would imagine.

Than went to a second viewing of A Single Man. Colin Firth tour de force, Julianne Moore, fab.

Tom Ford, what a wonderful transition from designing of clothes to cinema...and welcome.

Overall, very artsy, fab, beautiful, wonderful music, sad and compelling

Althouse, run don't walk to it. It is about a College Professor you know so you may find you have something in common with the Lead Role.

Now I am hungry. I am sorry but Whole Foods Salad Bar does not make it for me but I do feel bad for Americans that do not have the ability to walk to a Whole Foods. Is there anything more depressing?

Tits.; 1/24/10, 1:00 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: Damn, Brad's letting a real catch go with that one. What's wrong with him?

I've got it:

He must be intimidated by women who make a lot of money.; 1/24/10, 1:00 AM
Revenant said...: This is a minor quibble, but: the article says "20 hours in bed together", not "20 hours of sex".

That presumably includes a lot of sleeping, too. :); 1/24/10, 1:04 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: What's wrong with him?

Maybe HIS house is not a home ;); 1/24/10, 1:12 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: There is a good possibility Brad is gay.. not that there is anything wrong with that.. not at all.; 1/24/10, 1:18 AM
T J Sawyer said...: "...those braids in his goatee. Every time I've seen a guy do that, he's divorced three months later."

Think Jesse Ventura. Same wife since 1975. Time for a political comeback?; 1/24/10, 2:01 AM

Kensington said...: "Once, it was 20-hour sex sessions..."

And then Brad started including Angelina in them.; 1/24/10, 3:12 AM
Ralph L said...: I don't believe they were legally married. At the grocery store yesterday, Aniston was on several covers, allegedly rubbing it in Jolie's face that she has a nicer body, despite being 40. They've really milked that conflict.; 1/24/10, 3:13 AM
Anonymous said...: @Lem: Teddy Ballgame was a great looking guy when he was young, the Brad Pitt of his era?; 1/24/10, 3:15 AM
AllenS said...: They never had any children. Their family consists of about 6 kids that they went out and bought from poor families that lived in poor countries. The marriage never had a chance. Brad could go back to Jennifer, but the simple fact that she's not spending enough time in the shower is a big turn off. So that probably won't happen. He needs to call Tiger Woods.; 1/24/10, 4:56 AM
ricpic said...: What happens to their exotic trophy children now? Oh the children, the children.

As to Brad: time for this midwestern reg'lar guy to find a reg'lar midwestern gal and quit chasing the "interesting" life.

Angelina will end up like those Grey Gardens ladies.; 1/24/10, 5:58 AM
jag said...: Two thoughts: Angelina made Brad Pitt look old and tired before his time; now I know why. On a serious note, I don't think celebrity couples should be allowed to adopt children b/c what they are really doing is leasing them.; 1/24/10, 7:51 AM
michaele said...: I wonder if growing political differences contributed. Angelina is reputedly not a big fan of Obama and Pitt still sips from the gallon sized Kool-Aid glass.; 1/24/10, 8:08 AM

LOL Lem once I figured out what Napolitanese meant!

AllenS said...: I have a question. If you open the comments and then don't post anything, what happens to the word verification word? Where does it go? Will it be recycled?; 1/24/10, 8:41 AM
Moose said...: Those aren't children, by the way. They're pets. Anyone that goes out and buys 6 children is manifesting something like animal horders syndrome.

Angelina is compensating for something deep and twisted. Brad is just... Eye candy.

Right, Titus?; 1/24/10, 8:50 AM
the gold digger said...: Their family consists of about 6 kids that they went out and bought from poor families that lived in poor countries.

I'm embarrassed that I know this, but three of their children are their biological children. And yes, they are gorgeous.; 1/24/10, 9:02 AM
I'm Full of Soup said...: AllenS:

According to Pat Robertson, anything mojo related goes to Haiti to do bad things.

wv = jecarda? = what Jersey Shore bar bouncers ask each other; 1/24/10, 9:30 AM
George said...: Well, perhaps "20 hours of sex" means it took both of them 20 hours to actually do the deed...as in dysfunction junction.

That would certainly better explain the breakup. I mean, just how many years would any quasi-marriage last if it took 20 hours of twoplay to have either party hit high C?; 1/24/10, 10:26 AM
Anonymous said...: No great tragedy here. Brad is better of besides he can always move into my place for awhile until he gets back on his feet.; 1/24/10, 10:58 AM
