Jolie Exhausted, But Wants More ChildrenOctober 7

Mother-of-six Angelina Jolie has admitted that she and partner Brad Pitt are “exhausted” by looking after their growing brood.

The couple - who made their first public appearance together since the birth of their twins at the premiere of Jolie’s new film, The Changeling, in New York - said that while looking after six children was draining, it hadn’t put them off wanting more.

When asked by paparazzi if they were done having children, Jolie and Pitt laughed and answered, “No.”

Rumour has it that the pair are already on the look-out to adopt another child, this time from one of Africa’s third world countries.

Angelina Jolie Debuts New TattoosOctober 7


As could be expected, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt proved quite an eyeful at Saturday’s New York premiere of her new movie. Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

But, in fact, there was even more to meet the eye on the leading lady: two new tattoos – to complement her ink indicating global birth coordinates of children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.

Jolie has had the July 12 French birthplace of twins Knox and Vivienne enscribed twice on her left shoulder beneath the latitude and longitude of their other children.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Fund Children’s Health Center in EthiopiaSeptember 15

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given $2 million to fund a children’s health clinic in Ethiopia, where their 3-year-old daughter Zahara was born.

The center, which will focus on serving children with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, will be run by the Global Health Committee.

“It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission,” Pitt said in a statement.

The Jolie-Pitts run a similar clinic in Cambodia - where their 7-year-old son Maddox was born - called Maddox Chivan Children’s Center.

“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease,” Jolie said in a statement.

“The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable,” Pitt added.

This week, the power couple ranked sixth on Parade magazine’s list of the most generous celebrities. They gave $8.4 million in 2007.

Exhausted Jolie struggles with twin demandsSeptember 9

While Brad Pitt is out and about, hopping between film festivals to promote his latest flick, “Burn After Reading,” Angelina Jolie’s remained in near-seclusion at their French home since giving birth to twins in July.

According to recent reports, the actress is so exhausted she’s unable to play with her children, much less join her partner’s publicity blitz.

“(Angie’s) been staying in bed most of the time,” a friend told In Touch. “All she does is nap. She has little or no appetite and has to force herself to remember to eat because she is still breast-feeding.”

The friend explained that Angelina is showing signs of what may be postpartum depression, as she “cries at the drop of a hat and laughs at inappropriate times,” but another insider disagrees.

It’s simply a case of severe fatigue that has the “Wanted” star down, a close source revealed to Star magazine. Raising six children, breast-feeding two of them, and recovering from a c-section is enough to drain anyone, after all.

“Angie feels so weak and uncomfortable that she can’t even sit on the ground and play Barbies with Zahara and Shiloh,” the source said. “She wants to be able to run around and play with her older kids.”

Stress is killing Angelina JolieSeptember 4

Angelina Jolie is stressed out
Angelina Jolie is stressed out

The stress of dealing with two newborn babies is killing Angelina Jolie. After collapsing twice recently, the actress and mother of six was diagnosed with exhaustion by doctors. A source told UK tabloid Now:

“She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice. She’s been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed. She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.” (Source)

Is anyone surprised Angelina’s passed out twice recently? Turning your vadge into a makeshift clown car and house into an orphanage is probably exhausting! If Angelina continues to find that she’s not reaching her necessary daily intake of calories, there is one proven weightgain technique that always seems to work: swallowing. Just ask THIS guy.

Joan Rivers: Jolie is ‘Beautiful — But Stupid’September 3

Comedienne Joan Rivers has found a new target for her hard-hitting gags — Hollywood superstar and Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie.

The sharp-tongued Rivers dished to reporters during an interview with GMTV, “Well, I’ve worked with stupid actresses — I’ve worked with Angelina Jolie — she saw a sign that said ‘WET FLOOR’ one time, and she did!” Rivers adds, “I mean, she’s attractive, but not a bright girl — stunningly beautiful, but stupid.”

Rivers made headlines in June after expelling a potty-mouthed rant about actor Russell Crowe — and getting the boot from British TV!

Jude Law tries to promote peace in AfghanistanSeptember 2

Jude Law tries to promote peace in AfghanistanJude Law and director Jeremy Gilley are visiting Afghanistan, in an effort to maintain momentum for Peace Day — an annual day on Sept. 21 urging a global cease-fire and nonviolence. The United Nations General Assembly adopted Peace Day in 2001, following a lobbying campaign by Gilley which he documented in the film “Peace One Day.”
Law helped Gilley produce his second documentary film, called “The Day After Peace.”

The documentary, which also features former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, the Dalai Lama, Angelina Jolie, Annie Lennox and Jonny Lee Miller, charts the way Peace Day can be used as a focus for lifesaving activity, Gilley said.

Law said the movie “was the most important film I have been part of.”

The Oscar-nominated Law and Gilley, who arrived in Kabul on Sunday, are to meet President Hamid Karzai, top NATO and U.N. officials, and members of the aid community.

The visit coincides with one of Afghanistan’s most violent periods since the ouster of the Taliban from power in 2001. More than 3,700 people — mostly militants — have died as a result of the war this year.

Law said that even as Kabul has become more dangerous, hope among its people has remained surprisingly high.
“When I left Kabul last year, I was hugely moved not by the conflict that I have read so much about, but by the people’s courage and the people’s sense of hope,” Law told reporters in Kabul on Monday.

“It seemed that they really want to make this day, the Peace Day, work. And they did,” Law said. “People recognize the day, because they recognize that lives could be saved.”

Gilley said in Afghanistan over 1.4 million children were able to be vaccinated against polio on Peace Day as a result.

Michael Phelps Smoking Hot Girlfriend(s)August 19

Amanda Beard or Lily Donaldson
Phelps Double Gold: Amanda Beard & Lily Donaldson

Allie is Wired and Bryan Boy are reporting that gazillion time gold medal winner Michael Phelps is dating super model Lily Donaldson and fellow Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard.

My NYC mole told me that she’s been told that Lily Donaldson and Michael Phelps met on a shoot and they are definitely seeing each other. Both of them are represented by fashion powerhouse IMG. I think it’s fabulous… the marriage of fashion and sport… who knew?

Honestly, both women are above average on the international beauty scale. But Phelps needs to rethink both of these women or trade them both in for a knock out. Mike is the greatest swimmer in the world, but he is young, inexperienced and a novice when it comes to dating hot women. He could get either of these women with just a single gold medal or two. With 14 golds he should be able to have any woman on the free world market (and some that aren’t as well).

Even with that said there are positives that can be said for each woman. Beard does the same thing, swimming, that he does and has a strong and athletic body. She kind of has that Angelina Jolie - Tomb Raider look about her. Donaldson is a super model, comes from a different background as Phelps, and probably intrigues him a good bit. Her celebrity comparison would probably be Uma Thurman. Personally I like option three which has yet to emerge.

First Glance: Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Baby PicturesAugust 4

People magazine has the first photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s in virto twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, that were born in France last month. People paid the couple in excess of $12 million dollars for the photos.

Yeah, that’s just for photos of two very small babies. Imagine what People would pay for photos of the couple making love.

The couple has stated they plan to donate the money to charity.

Update: People had said they would have the photos by 7pm EST.  As of 7:30pm EST they have still not released them and are obviously playing games with the public to garner more hits to their website.  When you pay $12 million plus for silly photos you have to be creative to help recoup those costs.

Jolie-Pitt Foundation donates $1 mil to Iraqi kidsJune 26

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s love for children is by no means limited to their own: The couple has donated $1 million to help kids affected by the war in Iraq, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict announced Wednesday.

The organization will distribute the donation, made through the couple’s Jolie-Pitt Foundation, to four organizations working on behalf of children who have lost parents, homes and schools in Iraq. Children in the U.S. who have lost parents in the conflict will also benefit.

“These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal,” said Jolie in a written statement from Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which she co-chairs.

“We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations,” Pitt added in the statement.

The money will be divided between the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program, which provides military children with counseling and educational support; Women for Women International, which will provide books, school supplies and other basic necessities to Iraqi women and children; the International Rescue Committee, which will repair three schools and offer classes for more than 2,500 students; and NineMillion.org, which will give school uniforms and learning materials to more than 2,000 displaced Iraqi kids.

Last year, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave more than $300,000 to support the International Rescue Committee’s relief program for Darfur refugees.

Jolie, who’s expecting twins, has said the babies are due in August. She and Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.

Angelina Confesses Love for Billy BobJune 23

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly magazine, pregnant actress Angelina Jolie left current partner Brad Pitt in shock, when she confessed she was still in love with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton!

“I still love him dearly and think the world of him,” Angelina said. “I’m proud to have been his wife for a time.”

If things turn sour with her latest beau, Pitt, in the not-too-distant future, a reconciliation with Billy Bob may be on the cards. The Monster’s Ball actor was quick to respond to his former wife’s love declaration, labelling her romance with Pitt as nothing more than a silly “high-school phase.”

“She is just going through a high-school phase,” Billy said. “You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time.”

Sounds like a bit of wishful thinking, if you ask me.

Brad and Angelina want another oneJune 20

Brad Pitt and Angelina to adopt another kid
Not pictured: peace and quiet

Angelina Jolie hasn’t even given birth to her twins yet and she already wants to adopt another kid. An insider told OK! magazine:

“Angie and Brad have wanted an African boy for the last couple of years. They were initially going to have that adoption follow the addition of Pax last year, but that all changed when Angie got pregnant with twins last fall.”

Now the adoption will have to take place after the twins are born. The in-the-know source said the pair was well into the process of adopting a baby from Ethiopia before learning of Angelina’s latest pregnancy. (Source)

This is getting ridiculous. Brad and Angelina are turning into my grandmother (minus the soiled underwear and boring stories about condoms costing only a nickel). But instead of collecting little porcelain dolls, these two ego-maniacs are collecting the real thing. I just hope that Brad and Angelina realize (unlike grammy) that the main difference between kiln-glazed figurines and real people is that when you eventually grow tired of them, you can’t resell them on Craigslist . . . unless of course you’re these people.

Brangelina Adopting a Boy!June 19

Even though Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are about to welcome their twin girls into the world at any moment now, OK! has learned that’s not stopping them from making plans to add yet another child to their “soccer team” of a family — a baby boy from Ethiopia.

“Angie and Brad have wanted an African boy for the last couple of years,” an insider tells OK!. “They were initially going to have that adoption follow the addition of Pax last year, but that all changed when Angie got pregnant with twins last fall.”

Angelina even managed to rub some of her humanitarian spirit off on Brad’s sister, Julie Neal Pitt. When Julie was looking to adopt, the actress directed her to the same African orphanage where she’d found Zahara in 2005. And, according to sources, the two had planned to adopt together at the same time.

“Angelina was pretty far along in the process of adopting a beautiful baby that captured the couple’s heart when she and Brad got the surprise of their life and found out they were expecting,” the insider reveals.

Billy Bob Thornton calls Angelina Jolie’s relationship with Brad Pitt “a high school phase”June 17

 

At the launch of his new album with his band, The Boxmasters, Billy Bob Thornton made a sarcastic remark about his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

Billy Bob said, “She is just going through a high school phase. You know dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time. Who knows if I’ll be there when she’s ready to come to her senses though.“

I hope he was joking! Angelina married Billy Bob in 2000 after they met on the movie set for ‘Pushing Tin’. The pair divorced three years later, with Angelina claiming they had both changed and “had nothing in common”.

In other Angelina news, she is reportedly in talks with French fragrance house Coty to put out her own line of fragrences. A source said, “Angelina wants a very strong input. She wouldn’t want a fragrance that she didn’t feel encapsulates her.”

Having a perfume line has proven to be a lucrative endeavor for many celebrities. Other stars who have their own super-successful perfumes include Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani and many others.

ALICIA KEYS: ‘I WANT TO ADOPT LIKE ANGELINA JOLIE’June 13

LATEST: ALICIA KEYS wants to follow in the footsteps of ANGELINA JOLIE and adopt a brood of multi-racial children.

The singer insists she loves kids and working alongside South African orphans in 2006 charity movie We Are Together made her broody to have children of her own.

But the 28-year-old insists motherhood is on the backburner for now, while she pursues her singing career.

Speaking to WENN at a special screening of the movie in New York City on Thursday night, Keys said, “I’ve always loved kids. Kids are so important. It’s important to nurture and spend time with them and listen to them.

“I’m not ready to be a mom. But (adoption) is something that is important to consider. That’s what I really admire about Angelina. I think it’s beautiful the way she embraces children of the world.”

And she insists she would like to create a family of different cultures, like Jolie: “We are all one. We’re not as separate as we oftentimes think. So I possibly would (adopt), when I’m more in the motherhood stage of my life.”

Keys leads an intensely private personal life, but is rumoured to be dating and planning to marry record producer and business partner Kerry ‘Krucial’ Brothers.

Angelina Jolie Declares: Being Pregnant “Is Great for the Sex Life”June 13

Angelina Jolie opened up in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly about her sex life with Brad Pitt, her impending delivery of twins and who she may be voting for this fall.

Here’s what the 33-year-old says:

On Pregnancy and Her Sex Life:
“It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.”

On Having Twins:
“Well, we weren’t expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge. We really don’t know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can.”‘

On Brad’s Tattoo
“I drew that. We went to Davos. It’s not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn’t have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back….It just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.”

On Maddox:
“Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He’s all into war and guns. So for Mother’s Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It’s really cute. I think it’s really good!”

On Being a Mother:
“I don’t think I really knew what it was to be a mom until these last few years. Especially the mom of an older son. It’s one thing playing the mom of a new baby, but my relationship with Maddox was very much on my mind and I just couldn’t shake the thought of him through the whole film [ Changeling.] He’s the one that I talk to the way I talk to the little boy in the movie. So I see the movie and Brad sees it and [we recognize] things in it — even just little things. The boy says, ‘Am I too heavy?’ Mad says that all the time. ‘Am I too heavy?’ ‘Oh, never! One day you’re going to carry me!’”

On Being Controversial:
“I’d like to think it’s because I’m not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that’s what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.”

On What to Call Brad:
“We have that problem all the time. I say ”partner” sometimes. ‘Father of my children’ is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, ‘So, your wife this, your husband that.’ We’ve stopped correcting everybody. It’s not a big intentional thing not to marry. We immediately were a family when we became a couple, and children were the priority, and we’re both legally committed to the children. And that seemed to be the right thing.”

On Going From a Goth to a Philanthropist:
“The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don’t see the point of doing an interview unless you’re going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I’m extremely human and have done some dark things, I don’t think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I’d like to think it’s the nice thing to do.”

On What Presidential Candidate She Supports:
“I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama.”

Angelina Jolie’s candid interviewJune 12

In a revealing new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Angelina Jolie spoke at length about her husband and four children - and their two babies-on-the-way. Although the couple “weren’t expecting twins,” Angelina revealed, they “like a challenge.” Here are some excerpts from the interview:

On facing the prospect of taking care of new twins and their other 4 children:

“[Pitt’s] mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can.”

On getting Maddox Chivan, 6 ½, Pax Thien, 4 ½, Zahara Marley, 3 ½ and Shiloh Nouvel, 2 at ease with the newest additions to their family.

“They’re old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We’re trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing. But the hard thing is every single day trying to find time for each of them privately. ‘Cause that’s our big thing. With our eldest, we have that last half an hour at night; Shiloh tends to be the first up in the morning. Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they’re at.”

Any ill will toward Jack Black, who accidentally dropped the twins bombshell during a Today show appearance:

“Poor Jack! Immediately when he saw Brad, he apologized. But we both told him very clearly that we had only waited because, as you do with any baby, but especially twins, you wait until all results are in on their health, and that we were past that point and if somebody had asked me directly, I would have said yes. So he didn’t do anything but take the heat himself.”

On Brad not being easy to buy things for:

“Brad is the hardest person to shop for. ‘He has impeccable design taste. And whenever he sees something he likes, he buys it for himself.”

On her partner’s most recent gift to her a gun-charm necklace she wore to her EW photo shoot:

”Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He’s all into war and guns. So for Mother’s Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It’s really cute. I think it’s really good!”

On some people who can’t reconcile her old persona, where she talked about knives and cutting, with her more recent identity as a mother and activist:

“But again, it’s not that different. The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don’t see the point of doing an interview unless you’re going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I’m extremely human and have done some dark things, I don’t think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I’d like to think it’s the nice thing to do.”

On anything she’s said that she wishes she hadn’t (like all that business about wearing the vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around your neck when you two were married):

“No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time. I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.”

On people saying being pregnant is bad for one’s sex life:

“No, I think it’s quite the opposite. It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.”

On Brad’s new tattoo:

“I drew that. We went to Davos. It’s not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn’t have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.”

Brad Pitt Spends $50K on Art the Day Before Angelina Jolie’s B-DayJune 5

A day before Angelina Jolie’s 33rd birthday, Brad Pitt dropped more than $50,000 on art in Switzerland.

On Tuesday, Pitt was chauffeured in a BMW to Switzerland’s Art Basel fair, where he spent more than two hours snapping up goodies.

He bought two bronze chairs designed by Max Lamb (at $25,000 a pop!), a fair attendee tells Usmagazine.com.

He also scored a foam and fiberglass “Family Lamp” (see below) and reportedly a $293,000 table.

“He’s really interested in architecture and design,” the onlooker says of Pitt (who posed in photos with Ambra Medda, the director of Design Miami/Basel).

Jolie said Pitt’s passion for arts and architecture first attracted her to him.

“I don’t see him as an actor,” she recently told Vanity Fair. “I see him very much as a dad, as somebody who loves travel and architecture more than being in movies.?
