Newsflash - Brad Pitt is a great father

You know, I might just about be on Jolie-Pitt overload. I am just about up to here (am point to my post-pregnancy double chin or perhaps my neck) with how great they are, how philanthropic and what good parents they are to their ever-expanding brood of babies. I am almost starting to believe it's true! Pitt is starring in the upcoming holiday-release The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a movie whose title certainly has me, well, curious. His costar, the beautiful Taraji Henson, is eager and ready to confirm what all of us regular folks are loathe to admit is true--Brad Pitt is a great father. Well, at least he is in her eyes. According to Henson, Papa Pitt made special time for each kid every day--either that or Angie or his parents did--on the movie set. No nannies were in sight. They were all probably cowering from the angelic light emanating from Angelina's next-to-godliness.
Seems like Brad not only likes his children but actually wants to spend time with them. I have yet, however, to hear of any costar comment on seeing him or Ange changing a poopy diaper. They may trick-or-treat with their kids and parade them around whichever town they've invaded while shooting whatever wanna-be blockbuster they have on their very full schedules, but when are the tabloids going to bedazzle me with a pic of Brad and a smelly poopy?
And just so you know, I don't really think you have to be seen in public changing a diaper disaster to be a good daddy. From what I can tell that Pitt character is the real thing. I mean, he can't be acting--although it is more believable a part, then, say, when he was in that vampire movie...(no, not Twilight). Henson also commented positively on how down to earth her costar was, insisting that she meet Angelina when Ange showed up on the set with Shiloh. Sigh. I guess some people really do have it all.

I know this has almost nothing to do with the content of this post, but does anyone else really, really miss the way PD used to be?
Almost every story on this page is about a celebrity. I can pick up Star or the Enquirer if I wanted to read about Brad and Angelina. Why doesn't anyone talk about their children anymore? Things they face daily with their kids, at school, at work? It's not the same anymore. I miss it.

I'm with both of the above. I hate myself but find I keep coming back here hoping beyond hope it may have changed back. Days and days go by with nothing but celebs and every now and then there is a very good and interesting subject and it's overridden by idiotic comments. Where are the days we could go back and forth with conversation and actually walk away friends. It's ugly now.

I've also seen a decline... with the old format, I knew for sure that someone was reading when I sent in a "tip", which I did, often.
Since the format change, every single time I've sent something in via that "tipline", it has been returned as "undeliverable".
And I also notice that if I don't get a comment in early on a potentially discussion-worthy subject, I might as well forget it, because the trolls are lurking, just waiting to degrade and insult those of us who ARE looking for thoughtful discourse.
Oh, and hooray for Brad. It's about time he got a little press. Poor thing has been languishing without publicity for almost ten minutes now.

I totally agree. And what I hate is when the celebrity gossip post is concluded asking us a question like "would you....like Brad Pitt?" or so forth. It is a pathetic attempt to get readers to participate in garbage and make it seem like it is really a legitimate parenting issue.

I really miss the way PD was - back when it wasn't PD it was really awesome. With their whole mainstream want to be a big blog raking in the cash, everything went downhill.
I'm truly saddened that it had to go like that - the bloggers who did personal blogs were fired.
