Good thing the laughable world of media and its brick-dense minions have put such a ridiculous price on the heads of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's upcoming twin babies. Because those movie stars just piss away their money:

Brad Pitt is spending the weeks leading up to Angelina Jolie's delivery of the couple's twins by buying furniture for their huge new French mansion. Pitt made a stop at the Design Miami Basel fair in Switzerland this week and dropped a load of cash. Spies said he bought a hollow white marble rococo-style table by Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven from London-based Carpenters Workshop Gallery for $293,000; got two Ron Arad chairs from New York-based gallery Sebastian + Barquet for an undisclosed price; and ordered "Silver Sky," a rug made of aluminum thread from New York dealer Cristina Grajales, which sells for $175 a square foot.

And to anyone that's right now readying their fingers over the keyboard all anxious to bang out, "Hey, if you've got the money …": No, you're wrong. Regardless of one's income, spending $300,000 on a fucking table is idiotic.

    Not if that table is made of dead babies. Then it's a steal!

    Or, just think of it as redistribution - if the only thing rich people did with their money was save it and/or spend it on PC purchases then a whole lot of the world's economy would grind to a halt.

    That wish table sounds mighty fancy! Are the chairs upholstered with fairy wings or unicorn hair? Because I'm allergic to unicorns…

    If it were a table made entirely of peanut butter and chocolate, I might need to buy it.

    I love me some Mollygooders. Like Cord, I think it's a bit over-the-top to drop that kind of cash on furniture, but the truth is, they spend plenty of their money on helping others. So if that brings them peace in this crazy world, then so be it. I'd just hate to be the kid who puts the Kool-Aid ring on that. I'd blame Pax; I hear he can't speak English, so he'd have a hard time defending himself.

    I do think that is ridiculous… but sometimes I think that one needs to support local artists. Usually, the most expensive thing I purchase is a pack of corn nuts.. but rarely I will spend about fifty dollars (hey, I'm a teenager.. that's a hefty sum) on an original piece of art. The painter probably spent days working on the piece. I don't want him to see me that night at Stepho's and have him say "Hi, may I take your order?"
    (I usually don't because I know the money I donate to Doctors Without Borders does more for humankind, but sometimes I wonder…) Fuck spending 300 000, though.

    I knew someone whould say "they do good' So they can spend some money any way they want. Tis true and I can call them on it. Boy they must need much peace. The money they shell out on themselves is truly discusting.In light of what the profess to care about. Just one of Angie's maternity dresses would feed a village for a year.

    wow… so everyone here is (as always) sure that the story is true… as was the last (expensive) story about their 150 million dollar castle in france!

    even if: the art market has other rules than the vegetable market… because this wouldn't be a coffee table (if it were true) but a sculpture

    I used to be allergic to unicorns too, sexyback. All you have to do is get a transfusion of pixie blood and mega dose yourself with ginkgo balboa for a month and it will go away. Of course now I sneeze like crazy when the minotaur next door comes over to borrow something, but fuck him, he still hasn't returned my bunt pans. He's really kind of a dick, but he's the only one in the building who keeps the trolls living in our laundry room at bay.

    That people think of Brangelina as "humanitarians" cracks me up. Their uber luxurious over-the-top lifestyle makes Donald Trump look frugal!

    I don't blame actors who spend money, I blame a society that pays entertainers (actors, "singers," athletes) such exorbitant amounts of it. Let's start paying teachers and social workers and foster parents their due, and then worry about what people are doing with the money they do make.

    Timmy- I actually agree with you. But films produce a lot of money, so if the actors get a smaller paycheck, the producers will probably just have more to hog. I think the writers and others who also contribute to the film should be paid more. There are few actors in the world that are "stars" and there are many more job opportunities for teachers and social workers. I think that on a level it makes sense some celebrities make so much money, but I wish they would spend it in better ways. We need more Warren Buffets. Fuck.
