[MaryJane]

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are said to have decided to respond only to the Japanese reporters’ questions during their press conferences in the Asian country.

The famous couple is set to promote their movie MR. AND MRS. SMITH in Japan.

Angie and Brad, who are jetting into Tokyo tonight, have banned the international media from attending press conferences during their promotional trip to Japan, as they are trying to avoid the same questions about their relationship.

Well, I can understand. She's there for a reason, and she's going to be around some serious people. How embarrassing and sad would it be for reporters to be shouting out questions about her love life when they're supposed to be asking about refugees, starving people, disease, etc.

[browneyedgirly]

Yeah, but this trip is to promote their movie, not any of their causes.

[muchlove]

Oh, I didn't see that part. lol. Well, ok then... they're there to promote a movie, not talk about their love life. It's not a serious as death and disease, but they're still there to talk about their work.

[stardust]

why are they promoting the movie now? it's some kind of promotion for the dvd?

[muchlove]

No, it's just coming out in theaters in Japan and some other country right now.

I think this is really old news. I remember reading about it months back. It would have been when the movie first came out.

[muchlove]

No, the movie is premiering in Japan for the first time this weekend or next week... they're going to do the whole red carpet dealie and everything.

[moocow]

That's really strange then, because they did that with the reporters there before.
