Brangelina Goes AWOL on Thanksgiving

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did their thing on Thanksgiving. What that was, we have absolutely no idea, but it appears their kinds hung out on the beach for the holiday Angelina loathes, parents nowhere in sight. Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne were all spotted at the beach , accompanied by their nannies on Thanksgiving. No sign of Ange or of Brad Pitt. REWRITING HISTORY : Brangelina will have none of it . Pitt did comment earlier that the family would be overseas, but did not mention specific plans. Likely because Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving . “Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like many other Americans,” a source said of her perception of the day. “To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style at all.” Apparently she put her money where her mouth is, at least.

Kate Gosselin on Troubled Kids: The Pressure is Getting to Them!

In the wake of two of her children getting expelled from school, Kate Gosselin went on record, discussing the situation personally for the first time with ET. Asked if Collin and Alexis Gosselin were in fact expelled, she said, “Two of my kids, no, are being tutored at home, with a teacher who is working closely with our kindergarten teachers in school, doing the identical curriculum.” So basically … they were kicked out. Kate says life in the spotlight is hard for the kids . The-recently divorced reality star says that, “All the pressure was getting to them,” explaining, “You have a lot of the divorce anger mixed in with that.” “The goal is to get them back into school as soon as possible,” she adds. But will their deep-rooted rage issues and bullying tendencies subside? Kate also discussed the rumor that her upcoming TLC show, Twist of Kate , had been canceled . Kate says that no, “We’re sort of still trying to shape it [into] what it needs, what is going to be fun. So no, it’s not canceled.” Fortunately for the kids, Thanksgiving came and went without incident. “We were able to work out the holiday time peacefully,” she said of splitting time with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. “So I had the first half, he had the second half, and, we just take it year by year, and holiday by holiday.” Kate and the kids appear on a Kate Plus Eight special Sunday on TLC. So it goes for the diva facing financial ruin …

Angelina Jolie Hates Thanksgiving and America

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/29711/bitch-angelina-jolie-thanksgiving-is-story-… Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving, which she says is a “story of murder” she refuses to celebrate. Yup, she hates America. Jolie hates Jews and Israel (and attended an Islamic hate-fest), she attacked America for (barely) enforcing immigration laws and compared us to Hitler for it, and she interfered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation of illegal alien children, insisting they have lawyers to game the system and stay here ad absurdum. And don’t forget that time when she said she’s “absolutely ashamed” of America. Plus, she loves her some terrorist-host-state Syria. Now, there’s this from AOL News/PopEater reporter Rob Shuter: While everyone is preparing to give thanks tomorrow, one of America’s most famous families, the Jolie-Pitts, have decided to sit this Thanksgiving out. “Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans,” a friend of the actress tells me. “To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style. She definitely doesn’t want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder.” Angelina has been filming her directorial debut, about a Serbian man and Bosnian [Muslim] woman who fall in love during the Bosnian War. Angie, always extremely sensitive to the suffering throughout the world, is filming in English and the native languages. “Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday,” an insider tells me. And although Brad Pitt recently told ‘EXTRA,’ “We’ll whip up a turkey somewhere,” he certainly hasn’t shared that plan with Angelina. A family friend tells me, “If Brad wants turkey, he will have to cook it himself. For Angie, it will be another day when America tries to rewrite history.” She has compared Americans to Nazis for trying to enforce immigration law and have secure borders. And she praised Palestinian children for singing about killing Jews to “get our revenge.” This is pretty consistent with that. And it’s irrelevant that Brad Jolie-Pitt said they’ll “whip up a turkey”? As we all know, he’s the chick in this relationship and really doesn’t have a thing to say about it. Jolie refuses to celebrate Thanksgiving, feels it’s a “story of murder.” Yet, oddly, she and Mr. Pitt have not relinquished their homes on Native American soil back to the Indians and given all of their money to the victims. They’re just not cooking a turkey. Ya know who the real turkeys are? Americans who continue to make this couple of America-hating hypocrites rich by going to their movies and buying into their BS. added by: crystalman
