Brangelina Flies Coach With The Kids On Air France - Publicity Stunt Or Keeping It Real?


Why would two of the world's most famous people pass on a private jet, ditch first class, round up all six kids and then pack the whole family into economy class for the hour and a half plane ride from Paris to Nice?

I mean, isn't that the point of being rich and famous so you don't have to bother with this kind of thing?

Are they that light in the pocket book? 

Do they really need the free publicity? 

Is Angelina Jolie attempting to make former Pitt gal pal Jennifer Aniston completely lose her freaking mind? lol...

Or are they showing us that they, the great Silver Screen Stars that they are, can actually mingle amongst the commoners and the unwashed masses?

That would be nauseating.

No, I think the true motive can be found in the last paragraph of a People magazine article here.  

The last paragraph reads, 

"The actor, meanwhile, is also headed to ... Netflix! 

Pitt is set to star in the lead role in the streaming platform's upcoming comedy War Machine, which premieres in 2016. 

"We are so excited to be a part of the inspiring commitment by Netflix to produce cutting-edge content and to deliver it to a global audience," the actor said in a statement."

It's a fact. The Movie business is in downward spiral. It began with Cinemax and HBO. But the real paradigm shift came with Netflix, Hulu and now Amazon Prime Instant Video. 

Any actor making the jump from Hollywoodland to Video on Demandland, where you can 'binge watch' in an orgy of episodic decadence to your hearts content, has to tread lightly.

Well done PR person...

I bet you flew First Class!
