There are some commenters -- predominantly pseudo fans -- who I know to delete on sight. But I was too lackadaisical in pressing "delete" and glanced at posts to the People article. I normally only publish comments that others may find useful, but for this edition, I am making an exception. With an excess of time and energy, whack-a hater-mole is a fun and productive game to play.
Brad has made both blanket and specific denials of all the dating stories the past 3+ years -- from Marion Cotillard to Neri Oxman to Alia Shawkat. He used his Awards season appearances to poke fun at attempts to make him out to be dating any woman seen with him, joking as he accepted his Golden Globe that it was the reason he didn't bring his mother along.
Alia Shawkat, who is an outspoken member of the LGBTQ community, is co-writer, co-producer and star of the 2018 lesbian drama Duck Butter. She rewrote her onscreen lover to be a woman instead of a man because, she said, "I didn’t want to see a d–k on the screen all that time!” Even TMZ conceded they could not weave any sordid story out of Brad being with Alia. But for the desperate pseudo fans, Alia is their last and only hope. If the shenanigans of the pseudos were worth Brad and his funny friends' attention, they would be having a lot of fun with this:
"Brad sleeps with Alia" - gaby
"So why do you think a 56 year old man would hang out so much with a 30 year old girl?" - The TruthThe latter making Brad sound like Roman Polanski: Brad is a "man" but Alia is a "girl." The pseudos are clinging to Alia for dear life as they are engulfed by the sea of evidence that has sunk every one of their sleazy concoctions. In the process, they've managed to out-sleaze TMZ. Brad's emphatic denials and Alia's sexual orientation aside, Alia is also part of the same group of artist friends led by Thomas Houseago that Brad has surrounded himself with. Brad has been sculpting under Thomas' tutelage, and Thomas and art therapist Muna El Fituri have been Brad's constant companions -- from Cannes to the Venice Biennale to Kanye West's Opera -- the last also with Alia. Houseago and his group have shown Brad how to stay creative on his own, away from Hollywood.
"As actors, what we do is a team sport. Making a film takes everyone. ... I was really struck by this longing, this need to do something autonomous. I feel like it’s spiritual.
“We’re human, we want purpose, we want meaning in our lives. But to attain that, the key is two things: staying creative and being with the people we love."
Pitt telling us the key to happiness in Hollywood is family and love. "Staying creative and hanging with your loved ones."
An au currant way to describe pseudo-fans is they are hate-vid positive and symptomatically stupid. They are blind, tone deaf and shameless. They are oblivious to the fact that they have long been holding themselves up for ridicule with their desperate and idiotic posts. The more desperate they've become, the more idiotic their posts.
The coronavirus of fanatical hate that gives rise to the symptoms on display has been isolated to a small group in dire need of ventilators to raise their critically low levels of decency. For everyone else, regular disinfection should suffice, PPEs are not needed.
How Angelina Jolie and Her Kids Are Navigating Home Schooling During the Coronavirus Pandemic https://t.co/S6ZWaNwNFw— People (@people) March 26, 2020

Angelina Jolie is focusing on how to best help children around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic — including her own.
All of Jolie’s six children are at home, including her oldest son Maddox, 18, who returned to the U.S. after his semester at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea was canceled due to the coronavirus. She also has Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.
With Maddox home and focused on his Korean and Russian studies until his school opens up again, Jolie is helping her five other kids stay on a routine by waking them up early every day and getting them started on their school tasks shortly after, PEOPLE has learned.
While the Oscar winner and activist, 44, spends her own time on her international work during the day, she also wants to keep her kids on a school schedule.
...
As Jolie attends to her children and her own work, she has made efforts to help other children in need. The mother of six recently donated $1 million to No Kid Hungry, an organization distributing meals to children who relied on school lunches.
...
Jolie also made a donation to the UN Refugee Agency and sent support to the schools she funds in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Kenya and Namibia to help ensure they can continue teaching and learning through the pandemic.
On a worldwide scale, Jolie is working with UNESCO on the establishment of a Global Education Coalition to help children access distance learning during the period of school closures.
