Richard Gere Must Be So Jealous!

Filed under: Brad Pitt > Angelina Jolie

wenn2536547e.jpg

Think your pet has a good life? Well, think again!

Brad Pitt has just dumped $82,000 on a custom home for his kids' gerbils.

What!? We understand loving your pet, but this is a little extreme! That's enough to buy a home for an actual person in some places!!!

The lucky gerbils were picked out by Maddox and Pax last month, when their parents took them to a local pet store in France.

An onlooker says "The boys were really keen to get the gerbils and it was Angelina who reached into the cage to pet them before a store worker got them out."

Angie touching a rodent!? Where were the paparazzi on this one?

The swanky gerbil digs will include tunnels, platforms, seesaws and mazes, which will go in the family's mansion in the South of France.

The design was overseen by the kids and Brad. According to a source "Brad pores over architectural journals…he had so much fun putting the run together with his kids…"

Sounds like some good father/kid bonding to us. Who else can say they helped design a gerbil house with their father?

Or better yet, what gerbil can say they live with the Jolie-Pitts!?

      Dive on a spike already!!!!



    2. 2

      NO REALLY….DIVE ON A SPIKE ALREADY, Both of you!



    3. 3

      Angie touching a rodent!?
      ………..

      She touched Billy Bob's nasty dick didn't she… why so surprised !



    4. 4

      Bet you'd like to sniff Gere's gerbils.



    5. 5

      Lot of $ to house snakefood.



    6. 6

      Please, people, don't buy from pet stores, adopt from shelters!!

      Remember, for every animal you buy, one has to die!



    7. 7

      OF COURSE she touched a Rodent! Everyone forgets who she USED to be…..



    8. 8

      Shit I want them to adopt me, I need a new car! It's really hard for you to say something mean about them, because they actually take care of their kids! It's very rare to see them without their kids, I love that. But that's a lot of money. It kills me that their are so many real people out there that need help and your going to spend that kind of money on something that shits everytime it moves!



    9. 9

      there we paparazzi on this one, in the people magazine with kate gosselin on the cover (couple weeks old), i saw a picture of her reaching in to pet something at the pet store.



    10. 10

      Enough with the Gere/Gerbil crap. Isn't that a stupid, silly bullshit rumour from 1990 or something. Get with it.



    11. 11

      NOT TRUE — GOSSIPCOP.com and other LEGIT outlets reported it was false DAYS AGO



    12. 12

      thats pretty expensive being that they only live a couple of years. Couldnt that money be better spent on one of their humanitarian projects, like feeding starving children or something. They are so shallow.



    13. 13

      If that's true, it's completely ridiculous. They're setting these kids up to have insane expectations out of life… totally detached from reality. If they were my kids, I'd be trying to keep them more down to Earth, given their circumstances.



    14. 14

      I don't believe the story.



    15. 15

      i don't get the richard gere thing……guess i'm missing something and/or too young…..
      *
      gerbils life expectancy is only 2 yrs anyway…….



    16. 16

      Re: The Rush In Her Head – what shelters do you know that have gerbils? you've got to be kidding……



    17. 17

      I seriously doubt this is true.



    18. 18

      What a pathedic waste of money! I know these two give generously to charities around the world but when I read about celebrities who dump loads of cash on crappy clothes, toys, gerbil cages, etc…I get seriously pissed off…people around the world who are less fortunate think we are wasteful pigs and in reality most Americans live from paycheck to paycheck.



    19. 19

      Ya right. I'll believe it when I see the bill myself.
      PS: There were pics of her touching the rodents. I think y'all even posted them.



    20. 20

      80K for a house for gerbils (in the middle of this terrible recession)? I hope these two get an infection from those animals.



    21. 21

      That's so fucked ! Gerbils are NASTY ! I had 2 and my bird flew into the cage when I wasnt home and they ate off his beak and legs !! I HATE GERBILS !!! Man, couldn't they have picked out something better like a DOG ! ???



    22. 22

      there were paparazzi pics of Angelina reaching for the gerbils…they were on TheLimeGreenScream last week sometime ..



    23. 23

      I know he and Angelina do a lot of excellent charity work…..BUT! That's more than most of us make in a year. Disgusting.



    24. 24

      that's fucking disgusting. they could be doing so many BETTER things with their money, but no, they're dropping that gross amount of money on fucking gerbils!? ridiculous.



    25. 25

      you can search for those Angelina gerbil pics by typing "brad pitt into gerbils" on TheLimeGreenScream



    26. 26

      This story has already been denied by Brad and Angelina as total BS. So why are you posting it now?

    27. jham says – reply to this


      27

      Father/Son bonding = great. $82K on Gerbil cage = obscene gluttony. I'm hoping there was a miscalculation in the currency conversion? If not, that's really really effed up. A family can live well for a year with that amount. It's just sick.



    28. 28

      No way. I need pics to believe this one. cuh-razay.



    29. 29

      Re: RobPnMeShouldB – lmao… we have a shelter here for rednecks, does that count? Re: Canadiana* – wanta touch my furry creature?



    30. 30

      what a bunch of wack jobs. there is no such thing as normal where those two looney tunes are concerned and you know the kids will be f'ed up esp that maddox he is already weird



    31. 31

      maybe they can foot the national health care plan for losers with some of that cash



    32. 32

      Good for Brad, Maddox & Pax!
      What fun!

      It did NOT cost $82,000!!
      That's gerbil shit!



    33. 33

      ARE YOU ALL BLIND?? This is not the six foot Brad Pitt who starred in TROY. I SAY and do verily believe that if any of you do any amount of research on the height, ears, etc of this guy you will find out that BRAD PITT seems to have been "gone" from the picture scene for a while. What are you all missing?? THIS guy has a strange and familiar resemblance to Colin Ferrall. Look at the "new" height differences between Angie and her "men". And look at those EARLOBES!! Colin Ferrall has cute little ears, Brad PITT can be seen to have quite a few different ones. So, what is REALLY going on in the gerbil cages???

      My final comment on this matter is that Richard Tiffany Gere started the rumour about himself on purpose. It gave him the privacy he so badly lost when he became "outed" as gorgeous. YOU KNOW what happens to gorgeous men. My guy gets hit on my men and women every time he leaves the house. So, Richard "take it tough" Tiffania Geres starts a RIDICULOUS rumour and enjoys the benefits of fame without the hassles. A little discomfort as the rumours flew around, but then, people left him alone. How incredibly intelligent of this most divine gentleman. How do I KNOW what I am blogging about?? Thought you'd want to know…..

      This story is so fake. There is NO WAY you can spend that much on a gerbil.
      You can buy everything for them and still spend under $100.

      C'mon people, have some common sense.



    35. 35

      Sorry but that is way over the top. In the town I live in you can buy a nice little house for that. I respect the couple always have, But to know they bought a gerbil house for that much is appalling. I think of all the single mom's like me working, going to school full time, and raising good kids who would give our eyeteeth to have a nice little place to call our own. This saddens me.



    36. 36

      Mario (or whichever ghost-writer did this one), please do some research before posting crap like this.



    37. 37

      The house that I own and live in didn't even cost that much! There are a million people out there like us who struggle to pay the mortgage and bills month to month. Then there are fuckers like them who blow 80K on animals that have a life span of 2 YEARS. I am so sickened by this.



    38. 38

      Re: JigSaw – only if yer gonna let me shave it….. LOL



    39. 39

      I know they have a lot of money and they can do whatever they want with it, also know they are generous and give a lot to charities etc., but this is sick and a ridiculous waste!!!!



    40. 40

      this website is getting lame..THE STORY IS BULLSHIT!



    41. 41

      uh..what are they gonna do when a gerbil DIES in one of the many tubes and travelways…take the whole damn thing apart? WASTE

    42. kis95 says – reply to this


      42

      If the amount of money spent is true, then it's FUCKING RIDICULOUS.



    43. 43

      This is just another case of rich spoiled assholes flaunting their money in everyones faces. Will they just die already?



    44. 44

      even if its bullshit, I still hate them



    45. 45

      They are starting to look kind of old and crumbly. gross



    46. 46

      I don't believe that they would spend that much! How could a Gerbil house cost that much? What would it be made out of? If this is true. I am sad that money is being wasted on petty things like a gerbil house when animals are left homeless because ppl can't afford to keep thier houses! $82,000.00 could go along way at an animal shelter!



    47. 47

      Re: JigSaw – LOL @ both comments…….always the dirty boy…… :P



    48. 48

      Re: RobPnMeShouldB Humane society. They talk all animals from goldfish to horses and everything in between. I used to adopt from there, but it's now cheaper to buy from a store. $150 to adopt a mutt cat is ridiculous. Dogs that are just too "cute" are over $400, without any health guarantees or pedigrees.



    49. 49

      these two are so ridiculous! i can't wait til they break up and are both broke. so much for them being do gooders and caring so much about humanitarian work.



    50. 50

      lol at the Richard G. comment. Do people know of that rumor under a certain age? :D



    51. 51

      How much truth is in this story?



    52. 52

      It's because they are French gerbils and French gerbils are sooooo much better than American gerbils. This is just another way for the Jolie-Pitts to broaden their international family.

      This seriously makes me hate them even more. $87,000 on a damn gerbil house? I understand that Brad loves architecture and thought it was be a neat way to bond with the kiddos…. but $87,000???? That's such bullshit. I realize anything they do is going to cost a lot more than if we were to do it…. but to spend almost $100,000 on a damn rodents home is like wiping your ass with money! And these are the people who cry in the homes of poverty stricken people all over the world. They could have built a real person a house for that amoutn of money. They are so self righteous and hypocritical it's not even amusing anymore.



    53. 53

      Correction…. sorry to rant on and on about the house costing $87,000 when it was in fact $82,000. That makes it all the more reasonable.



    54. 54

      check your facts this story have been proven false + this is old news from last week



    55. 55

      That is so fucked up. I heard about how Jim & Tammy Faye Baker had an air conditioned dog house built for their dog with money they received from their supporters. They got royally reemed for that. But these 2 assholes have done worse! Don't they know gerbils have a very short life span? When the gerbils die next week are they going to throw a Michael Jackson-worthy memorial service for them?



    56. 56

      Money well spent seeing how the gerbils will probably die in a few weeks… dumb shits!



    57. 57

      I'm sure that homeless families around the country will be happy to hear about how the rich and famous can throw down that much money to house their pet rats. Fuck you Hollywood!



    58. 58

      P.S. he hasn't ever heard of fucking Petsmart?? They have plastic rat habitats for way cheaper than that!! DUH!!!



    59. 59

      It's just SOOOOOOOOOO fucking offensive to see celebs waste money like this (don't forget Paris Hilton's $350,000 dog house!) when regular hard-working Americans are struggling just to afford the basics!! UGH!! Get a fucking clue spoiled rich fuckers! How fucking insensitive and self-absorbed are you people?



    60. 60

      Oh another picture with them both in black? I mean what is she trying to prove?
      The kids are alwys in black too.
      And I love how they say the kids are allowed to make their own choices…..cause everyone knows kids always choose to wear black. LOL
      Can't stand Morticia and Gomez anymore.
      They are both LOSERs
      He is a pot head and she is a skaggy ass insecure tramp who can't act.



    61. 61

      …shame… wait til they find out that the little guys basically sleep all day… they'll have to get up in the middle of the night to watch them enjoy their ridiculously expensive playground!
      ….with all the people struggling financially on our continent alone, you'd think that these celebrities could find better things to spend their money on…



    62. 62

      Re: Ladee D – 1st, they HAVE and Are STILL helping people!! How many homes have they built in New Orleans? Not to mention all the wonderful things they have done for so many people!! Really, what they do with their money is not any of our business….shallow…maybe your just jealous



    63. 63

      Dear Brad & Angelina: With half of that money I'd pay off my student loans. Please contact me for further information. Thx!



    64. 64

      What a bunch of shit



    65. 65

      He said: "There's real value in the quality of life in France." Even for the pets! This is what the could construct with the money he made with his last bad movie! Everything else was to pay the pot! Pitt-potty-head-drunk spent a lot of money with his neeeeeeeeds.



    66. 66

      This story is completely untrue and yet you're still reporting it as true? Way to go dickhead, you never fucking left highschool.



    67. 67

      I really have a problem with people who pretend to do good for society and then spend on things like this. I leave to you all the fascination you have for this sordidness. I'm pretty sure also the children, real and adoptive, are not treated equally. Will everyone of them get their 82 000 $ doll house?



    68. 68

      DAM $82,000 F0R A CAGE IS IT MADE 0F REAL G0LD OR WHAT……..
      THEY WILL SHIT IT ALL UP ANYWAYS……



    69. 69

      This sounds like BS. Make it Right but waste money on a home for gerbils? I think not.



    70. 70

      Ummmm, these fools do realize that hammies and gerbils only live about 2 yrs right?

      What freaking hypocrites.



    71. 71

      This has to be fake. I cannot imagine them being so wasteful. If it's true tsk tsk tsk Brangelina



    72. 72

      very cheap Perez….



    73. 73

      CRAZY ASS RICK PEOPLE



    74. 74

      Re: The Rush In Her Head – wow nothing like turning a nice story into somethin depressing



    75. 75

      See, that just shows you how stupid rich people can be. That is the most redicules thing I have heard in awhile. Why? All these..I am not going to rant. Fuck it. Dumb asses. Lets see how long these damn gerbils even live.



    76. 76

      They buy a dumb rodent house while there are plenty of people suffering. People are so ignorant.



    77. 77

      THIS STORY IS BULLSHIT, I AM SURE.



    78. 78

      Who the fuck cares?



    79. 79

      I can find better things to spend that kind of money on. His best role was in Kalifornia. He plays a great white-trash psycho! If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it!



    80. 80

      Gere must be happy to be out of this shit!! SATAN-gelina-serial-home-wrecker now is afraid of being dumped because no one will want to marry a woman with SIX KIDS! She will try to keep Pitt-potty-head-drunk balls forever! They went to France to escape the POTTYGATE! Maybe his movie is going down the hole, like the others, and he has less money, so all he could afford was to construct a pet´s home! kkkkkkkkkk
