Rent To Own Actress

[Blind Gossip] This incredibly famous actress mentioned that she recently bought a house… but didn’t realize that she would have to furnish it.

My jaw dropped when she said that she had to have someone run out and buy a couple of couches for her because she doesn’t own any furniture. That’s a lie! She has owned a bunch of houses, and furnished all of them! Whenever she moves out, she puts the stuff in storage. The woman has AT LEAST four big storage units in [location] and [location], filled the top with her kid’s stuff and her stuff and tons of furniture, including multiple couches!!! What do people think she did in her old houses? Rent furniture on a weekly basis from Rent a Center?

Somehow we just can’t see her filling out an application at one of those rent-to-own places so she can get a sofa for $10 a week and a TV for $15 a week!

      This is for sure Angelina Jolie.

      I don’t think she “made up” the story. I have a friend who is wealthy and I have seen him do this.

      I asked him once about it and he merely shrugged. I am not sure it occurs to him that he could go through and sort the old stuff – see what fits into his new house – before going out to buy new stuff for the new house.

      Just easier to buy new stuff. Rich folks…..

    Tori Spelling does this, but I don’t know if she’s an ‘incredibly famous actress.”

  4. katheryn says

    Angelina interview in Vanity Fair. Why would she not just use what she already has? Geez talk about too much money.

    • KatarinaJ says

      Or DONATE what she already has? She is so conscientious about so many things but apparently not her carbon footprint if she just keeps acquiring stuff.

  7. Baileygirl says

    Angelina. The story is probably true. She might not have been able to get to the storage facilities and needed furniture ASAP.

  8. High Steppa says

    Natalie Portman recently bought a house. Maybe she wanted someone to buy the couches for her!

    Angelina Jolie

    I think she made up this story as an olive branch to Brad and to help prop up his reputation. His reputation looks to have taken a beating after his alcoholic meltdowns and manhandling Maddox (allegedly). He probably just needs to be single a while and find himself. It seems that he mimics everyone he dates in both looks and personality and he should just concentrate on being himself.

    • boyzmom says

      I’m not sure which publications you’re reading, but everything I’ve read shows Brad to have come out the winner in their public fighting last year. They think he stayed above the fray and never cut her down publicly, unlike what she did to him. I just read an article this week talking about how “cool” Brad is now and how much more “likeable” (their words, not mine) he is than Angelina.

    • KatarinaJ says

      Totally agree Angie has looked worse than Brad in this and how would the furniture story be an olive branch to him exactly?

    • SugarCookie says

      Brad does mimic all of his partners. People usually mirror the person of higher status & power to gain favor and influence over them.

    Actress: Angelina Jolie

    [Optional] Why do you think she made up this story? Same as most of the other BS she’s spouted since splitting from Brad Pitt – to get sympathy and to get the upper hand in any divorce proceedings.

  18. modelle18 says

    Angelina Jolie in the latest Vanity Fair article. I don’t see what the big deal is, maybe she doesn’t like that furniture for this house or maybe that furniture is just damaged. She did mention in this article a wet dog came up on the couch

  19. GossipSauce says

    Angelia Jolie
    She is trying to look like the victim. It seemed like she was making Brad out to be controlling. It’s not working… I don’t buy it.

    • KatarinaJ says

      Brad ‘morphs’ into whomever he is with. Just look at how he looked with each gf or wife. He looked EXACTLY like Paltrow when they were together. If anything, I imagine him utterly immersing himself in what a woman expects, wants, cares about.

  23. colfaxcarol says

    Angelina Jolie. She lies about all kinds of things. She’s also been photographed drinking wine, so maybe she drinks so much she forgets where she puts her stuff.

  24. allabouteve says

    Angelina Jolie. She made the comments in a Vanity Fair interview I believe. It hasn’t been published yet.

  25. TeacherKat says

    Angelina Jolie

    Optional: She’s trying to reinvent herself as the harried single mother that’s trying to figure everything out on her own. Like taking cooking classes so that the kids can have a proper meal. Furniture shopping? That was all Brad before, she was too busy saving poor refugee children to worry about something so mundane. It’s a way to gain favor and rehab her image. Excuse me now, while I try to pry my eyes from the back of my head.

  26. Aurelia says

    Actress: Angelina Jolie
    Optional: Builds the narrative she’s been crafting: single mother, soooo distracted she “forgot” about furniture, side swipe at Brad.

  28. jdubble07 says

    Angelina. I read the article earlier where she was saying she bought DeMille’s old house and had to have a friend who is a set designer furnish and decorate it because she didn’t know she needed things like throw pillows.

  30. Dee Bunker says

    Sounds like Angelina “Bell Palsy” Jolie…. just thrashin’ through life with one of her sharp knives lol

  33. kellyinchains says

    Angelina Jolie.

    Why? Because she’s a headcase, and is now trying to get sympathy from the public since pretty much everyone despises her for what she did to Brad Pitt. Good luck with that, Angeloonie.

    [Optional] –
    Maybe it isn’t made up. If you “forget” to pay the rent on storage units, you lose your stuff. I’ll be watching Storage Wars to figure out the answer to this blind!

  35. timesink says

    This is Angelina Jolie, the interview being in Vanity Fair. I actually thought she was an interesting and good person after reading the interview. She may just not want to deal with storage units and memories of her time as a family with Brad. I think maybe it was just kind of an offhand comment; yes, maybe to paint herself as more of a free spirit and less of a housewife, but it was pretty benign.

  37. SueCitySue says

    I think this is Angelina Jolie. I just read a Vanity Fair piece that said she’d just moved into a house here in L.A., and said a ‘set decorator friend’ furnished the house on the fly. She and her kids, she said, had been living out of suitcases in a rental.

    Have no idea why she’d make this up. I know she does some good things, but I get the distinct impression that she is…disturbed.

  38. silimom says

    Angelina Jolie
    It’s something she said in a vanity fair interview she just gave.
    Personally, I think she’s still trying to make it look like Brad Pitt is some sort of abusive husband – “He did the decorating” – who kept all the furniture etc. and left her and the kids with nothing. All she’s focusing on now is “keeping house” and worrying if she was a good mom that day? She really expects people to believe that?

    I don’t think he’s an angel by any means but I think she has some…

  39. Blkgoddess says

    Angelina Jolie.
    Made up this story because she wants to seem more down-to-earth, relatable and “real”. Ol’ girl needs to stop. ? Page Six of the NYP just touched upon this. Btw am I the only one who never really bought into that whole thing about her having her breasts and reproductive organs removed? I don’t know why but that always smacked of fakery to me. St. Angelina–look at what a self sacrificing “hero” she is! Yeah no….

  40. amagod121 says

    St. Angel-ina.

    Because she is a chronic liar and always tries to come out on top in every story she spins. No doubt in this case she didn’t want a single reminder of Brad around the house. Those poor kids!

  41. justme04 says

    Angelina Jolie

    Although this I usually had me thinking of Tori Spelling and her multiple storage units and on their reality show they said they moved into fully furnished houses before. But you know she has furniture in storage….she keeps everything

  44. sappy6977 says

    Angelina. She said brad did the decorating. Maybe she meant she’d need a designer to pick out furniture

  48. itstarapagain says

    The Jolie

    Vanity Fair interview was odd, lots of saying the right things about the kids. I just hope she will allow the kids access to their dad. Parents who poison the kids against the other really bother me. I hope the Family Court is paying attention and puts an end to it. It’s abuse, plain and simple. Her mom did the same thing to her and she seems screwed up because of it.

  50. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Angelina… Her VF article made me heave, obvs in response to Brad’s GQ piece. She is so pretentious – trying to come off as the victim after attempting to destroy Pitt.
    She said a designer loaned her a few sofas and one of the dogs messed on it – does anyone really believe AJ picks up dog poop around her home?

  51. grozer says

    Angelina Jolie, who just bought the Cecil B. DeMille estate in L.A.

    She so wants to be “relatable”, so she threw in this silly detail… That house cost 25 mil, honey, you ain’t fooling anyone.

    Speaking of which, how does she manage to spend like she’s got Bill Gates money? Her career ain’t all that, did she strike oil in her backyard?

  52. copssister says

    Actress: Jolie

    She loves her press – even more when it portrays her as a suffering victim of circumstance (none of which she brought on her own). Also, because she’s a lying liar of a liar.

  55. Virgo the Virgin says

    The psycho Angelina Jolie.

    She’s trying real hard to get people to feel sorry for her and it keeps backfiring.

  56. oscarny says

    Angelina Jolie – trying to solicit pity from the public. Poor single mom, me, so helpless and clueless. All this after her attempts to trash Brad’s reputation failed.

  57. Insiderher says

    The main story is from new interview with Angie coming out. Mostly it’s her re-branding herself as a super busy single Mom, hands on, no help, picking up dog poo. The ‘not having a couch’ thing is mentioned-and that she just happened to rent Cecil B DeMille’s house-but she didn’t know or care about that-just the space for the kids ?Re: the storage units? she’s trying to seem SO unmaterialistic. Best line? I don’t even have a throw pillow-Brad always took care of that!!!! WHAT? ?

  59. kbeveryday says

    When you purchase at home for millions of dollars, the house is staged with furniture. It’s quite common for the home buyer,if they like the furniture, to purchase the furniture with the house. It’s usually new and the interior designer has selected the fabrics, finishes, paint, etc . so the house shows well and sells. She has probably purchased the furnishings with previous homes.
