When it comes to sitting kids… Brad Pitt is the best man for Angelina Jolie… but when it comes to seeking comfort… Billy Bob seems to be the person!

One may think with the kind of hoopla around Brangelina that they are of a kind couple. But there was a time when Angie made waves with Billy Bob too. They did a whole lot of crazy things in love like wearing vials of blood around each others’s necks and announcing their limo sexcapades on the red carpet for millions of viewers. Now she is the talk of the town with Brad Pitt on an adopting spree but that doesn’t stop her from keeping in touch with Billy Bob.

As Billy Bob revealed in an interview, “Angie and I talk all the time. We try to keep in touch every day. We’ve always been friends and there will always be a spot in my heart for her.”

Brad wont complain coz when he can turn to Aniston for comfort, Angie surely can turn to Billy. Apparently he comforted Angelina when her mother passed away.

Angie told Marie Claire Magazine about how her former beau called her to offer his words. “He said, ‘You’ll never get over it. It’s never going to be OK, and once you accept that, you realize you never want to get over it.’ He said, ‘Just kind of let it sit with you, and let it be a part of who you now are.’”

Thats what we can call - The Ex-Factor!

Angelina Jolie seems to be shrinking even more with disappointment as her mighty movie fails to draw crowds. Despite all the huhullabaloo around the movie and all the PR efforts… the movie was panned by the people… and one just wonders why?

Jolie’s performance… was expected to win her an Oscar for the role but unfortunately she is least impressive.

CNN writes, ‘Jolie has attracted some negative comment for playing the dark-skinned French (Dutch-Afro-Cuban-Chinese) journalist, but whatever you think of the casting, her restrained, unshowy performance and soft, subtle accent hit the right notes: Mariane, a practicing Buddhist, is smart and articulate, resolute in her convictions even as she is pushed to her very limits.’

The movie was overall termed to be good enough but nothing great… As for Jolie is concerned… she still needs to work harder for that Oscar!

Think of a woman delivering a child and all you can imagine women doing is moaning with labor pains… But you will be surprised that Angelina Jolie was laughing hysterically while delivering her daughter Shiloh Nouvel!

Angie admitted that she couldn’t laugh as as medics performed the Caesarian surgery prior to baby daughter Shiloh Nouvel’s birth, and partner Brad Pitt caught her hysterics on film.

She was quoted by a British tabloid as saying, “They were trying to put the IV in me, and I began laughing so hard that tears started rolling down my face. I was out of my mind!”

And the hysterics didn’t end there - Jolie kept laughing as she breast fed her baby daughter for the first time 30 minutes later.

She adds, “I was on the phone with my mom, who was also in the hospital. We were laughing because we were both under the same assumed name, and we both had been given a dose of morphine.”

Wow! Isnt that going to be a gorgeous pair on screen? Angelina Jolie with the dashing debonair Pierce Brosnan. Yes folks Angie and Pierce are going to work together in a movie called ‘The Topkapi Affair’… now whatever that means but that sounds kinda interesting!

And these two are going to set the screen on fire … since they are rumored to get hot and steamy together in a number of racy sex scenes.

A source is quoted by Britain’s The Sun newspaper as saying: “Pierce is keen to turn the ‘Thomas Crown’ films into a long-running series of movies. He believes the Crown character has the potential to have the same appeal as Bond, especially with a beautiful leading lady like Angelina.”

Shooting on the movie will start in Egypt and Russia next year, after Angelina finishes filming ‘Wanted’.

So I guess we will get to see this extremely gorgeous pair to hit the screen sometime around 2009… That is going to be a long wait indeed… But Im sure it will be worth it!

Now if you were wondering why Angelina Jolie is always on the run and always being under scrutiny for neglecting her kids due to her travelling.

But Angie believes its extremely important to raise her children internationally - something she had in common with Mariane Pearl. She says,

“I think we both see the importance of raising children internationally and traveling a lot with our kids - we take our kids to work with us all around the world! I mean, my kids are my friends. We both enjoy our children and we laugh with them, and if they’re up too late because we’re having a great time with them that’s OK. I thought Mariane would be this perfect French woman and I thought, ‘She’s going to embarrass me and she’s going to make the perfect lunch and she’s going to have toys that are going to be educational.’ But we met and we both couldn’t figure out how to make pasta! We’re so not perfect, which is really nice.”

Looks like a great family - International in outlook and internationally bred!

People are already skeptical about Angelina Jolie’s adoption spree… now they have started accusing her of being an ‘irresponsible parent’ for

traveling to dangerous regions of the developing world in her capacity as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.

But she dismisses the allegations believing in her determination to change the planet for the better is instead a shining example to her kids.

She says, “I do no service to my children by staying home and allowing the world to be what it is.

“That’s not teaching them anything, it’s not raising them properly.”

Angelina Jolie seems to be in love with Pakistan. She has been there for the shooting of her flick A Mighty Heart, the story of a Jewish American journalist Daniel Pearl who was killed by terrorists in Pakistan.

She is desperately hoping that the film doesnt offend the Pakistanis for it would mean that she wouldn’t be getting her next visa to Pakistan.

“I miss (Pakistan),” Jolie said. “I have been there three times and I have a deep love for that part of the world, and I’m very saddened by how every day it seems to breaking more and more apart.”

And Pakistan I’m sure would love to host one of the world’s most desirable women at it place again and again… if they tend to like her movie… if not then they would have a number of fatwas issued against her… effigies burnt and slogans shouted… guess she should be mentally prepared for all that too.

Angelina Jolie has caught herself a great man……. a perfect combination of good looks and great qualities…… no wonder she cant stop gushing and bragging about him.

She says she still can’t believe that Pitt is “more man than any man” she has ever met. “I wouldn’t have, from a distance, said, ‘That’s a man who would be an amazing, dedicated father,’ or, ‘that’s a man who truly loves helping people or whom I’d love to talk politics with,” Jolie said. “He’s a lot more than people assume he is.”

Jolie also admits that Pitt always listens to her which helps her overcome problems in her life.

“I’ve had that problem in my life, where if I get emotional, I tend to just go sit by myself. But he is a great listener, and he has given me wonderful advice,” Jolie says.

Angelina Jolie, despite the brawl with the media at A Mighty Heart’s New York premiere is promoting her home production pretty well. She poured her heart out to MTV News talking about her experiences of the movie.

MTV asked her how she felt to potray a real woman Mariane Pearl, who was the focal point of media scrutiny like herself and how the experience was different from that of playing Gia and Cornelia.

She said, “I did know her a little, and I’ve gotten to know her more since. It took it out of being kind of an acting job. This was going to represent a time and a message for a family that I’ve come to know and care about. They’re my friends. And so the responsibility of that became really daunting and more pressure than I’ve ever had on anything. And yet [Mariane] is so gracious and just wants everyone to do their best and would not have been a hard critic….The things that were misprinted put her husband’s life in more danger, like somebody being careless enough to report that [Daniel] was dead, when he wasn’t yet. That kind of misuse of journalism is so disgusting. It is something that I have not had to confront. But I do know slightly what it feels like to be under attack when you’re having a private moment — certainly nothing to the extent of what she felt. I imagine it 100 times what I feel. It must have been horrible.”

Last month we got to know that Brad Pitt had purchased the film ‘A Mighty Heart’ years ago when he was still Jennifer Aniston’s husband. Then he wished to give the role to his wife Jennifer. But when Aniston and Pitt separated… we needed someone else to play the role.

Yes folks. Its true. Brad Pitt was hesitant to cast Angelina Jolie in the role of Mariane Pearl.

Brad says it’s not just that.  He says he knew Angelina Jolie would be perfect to star as Mariane Pearl – he just didn’t know how to ask.

“I knew the part had to be played by someone with Mariane’s strength and understanding of the world, but I didn’t know how to broach the subject,”

Pitt then tried this joke.

“It feels a little like Wolfowitz trying to get his girlfriend a job,” he quips (One FYI: former World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz resigned last month after he was accused of using his office to give his girlfriend a high-paying promotion).

Pitt the gushes:

“Being in the room with those two women is great fun. It’s like sitting down with Roosevelt and Churchill. Only much better-looking.”  Sigh, no wonder the press beats these two to death.  Michael K says it well here ” Brad, just look pretty and keep your mouth shut. The world will spin a lot smoother that way.”

Whatever you say to cover up Brad… the fact remains that Jennifer Aniston was your first choice… and Angelina could just try to fit into her shoes… as far as the role was concerned… and I guess otherwise too.

Angelina Jolie hasnt been in best terms with her estranged father Jon Voight. She hasn’t spoken to him since the last 5 years after he accused her of being an ‘unstable and an unfit mother’.

The other reason that contributed to relations going bitter between father and daughter was the fact that Jolie had discovered, her father Voight had cheated on her late mother Marcheline Bertrand when they were married. She was apparently devastated when she learnt this secret.

Of course now she is looking forward to reconciling with her estranged father. She told the London’s Evening Standard newspaper,

“I am hoping my relationship with my father will be more private in the future. At the end of the day we both wish the best for each other and we’ll try to start communicating in some way.”
“I don’t hate him. I simply feel we only have so much energy in this life,” she added.

On the other hand Voight is also enthusiastic about repairing his bond with daughter Angelina, especially after the birth of Shiloh,

Speaking after seeing pictures of a six-week-old Shiloh and Angelina in a magazine, Voight said:

“I never saw Angie’s face more happy. I saw a deep, deep peace that had never been there before until this.

“She had a beautiful, beautiful look. Both Brad and Angie looked so happy.”

“I haven’t seen Shiloh yet. I’m looking forward to it, and no, we haven’t spoken. I don’t have any communication with Angelina.”

Phew!!! Thats as big as a soccer team… actually bigger! The woman seems to be real greedy when it cones to kids. In her words she and Brad Pitt are ready for a real big fat challenge.

Talking to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, when he asked her how many kids she wants she replied,

“It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14!”

Stewart replied that 2 is kicking his ass! So, Jolie answered:

“Yeah, I understand that. Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, ‘Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’”

I dont that will be that a big challenge coz she wants to adopt most of them. Imagine what a slug she will become if she bears 14 biological children!

Poor Brad, incase they really go about having as many as 13-14 kids, he will have to quit his career and take up baby-sitting as a full time job.

No wonder both of them thought of quitting their careers soon. Coz with the kind of professions they are it would be hard even to take care of the 4 kids they have.

Its ironic that Angelina Jolie’s new flick A Mighty Heart aims to bring justice to the deceased journalist Daniel Pearl and the premiere itself was an event held on behalf of persecuted journalist but Angelina Jolie ended up brushing the media men on the wrong side.

Her starry tantrums have landed her into deep shit at the premiere of her home production A Mighty Heart, when she asked the journalist to sign a contract restricting them to ask questions only about her professional life. And now she has launched a operation to undo all the damage done.

Her lawyer and manager have now claimed that it was all a big misunderstanding, and have found a scapegoat in the form of her “bone-headed, overzealous lawyer.”

The same boneheaded, overzealous lawyer claims that Angelina was unaware that journalists were forced to sign a unprecedented legal agreement than forbade personal questions and threatened a lawsuit for anyone who broke the agreement.

Angelina’s manager, Geyer Kosinski, added that the document was meant to “guide” journalists, not control them.

“She is an incredibly candid, honest person, who is undeterred herself in answering questions,” he said. “Our collective intention was to protect her.”

Anyways… the incident has given Ms. Jolie and her new flick enough publicity too… I’m sure she wont regret whatever happened

Looks like Angelina Jolie has taken her celeb status and her popularity straight to her head. Or she thinks she was a born celebrity and people have to

come to terms with her instead of vice-versa.

She messed up real bad with the press at her new movie A Mighty Heart’s premier in New York, so much that they labelled her has ‘a mighty hypocrite’.

She tried to make reporters sign a contract stating that they would limit their questions to the movie only, and not venture anywhere near her personal life.

It all started when A Mighty Heart premiered in New York with an aim to support the organisation Reporters Without Borders, which not only seeks to

protect journos against persecution, but also works to combat censorship and laws that undermine freedom of the press.

It thus came as a bit of a surprise when Jolie’s attorney tried to make reporters covering the event sign pre-interview contracts limiting exactly what they

could and could not ask her. A Mighty Heart premiered in NY to support the organisation Reporters Without Borders

According to Roger Friedman, the Fox.com writer who covered the event, the contract stated that they “not ask Ms Jolie any questions regarding her

personal relationships, reports the Telegraph.

Adding that if the journalists dared to venture into this forbidden territory, they faced the risk of the actress terminating the interview.

“In the event the interviewer does ask Ms Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the

interview and leave,” the contract continued, he said.

Friedman, who then called Jolie ‘a mighty hypocrite’, added that the contract also stated that “the interview may only be used to promote the picture”, and

that it could not be used in connection with any other story or “used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms Jolie.” Reporters

Without Borders seeks to protect journalists against persecution and to combat censorship and laws that undermine press freedom

The move however backfired when annoyed reporters not only refused to sign the contract, but also refused to cover the event, forcing Jolie to recall the

order.

Jeff Julliard, the editorial director of Reporters Without Borders in Paris, told Fox that he did not support Jolie’s attempts to gag the press.

“Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job,” Fox quoted him as saying.

Poor ‘Ms. Jolie’ ……………… you thought you can be a celebrity on your own terms, didnt you? Pity!

Talk about being innovative in giving gifts and you can take inspiration from Brad Pitt. He showered his girl friend Angelina Jolie with special gifts and cooked her an amazing meal for her birthday.

Angelina Jolie turned 32 last Monday and she couldn’t have had a better day when she found that Brad had filled their LA home all with flowers.

But the best gift he got her was a gold ring that featured the birthstones of all their four children - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.

A close source was quoted saying, “He cooked an amazing dinner. She was so excited - she talked about Brad’s gifts all day.”

Its not just Brad who can give exiting gifts. When Brad turned 43 last December, Angie treated him to a two-hour guided tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s much-celebrated Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania, before hosting a private birthday party in the living room.

I hope their deliberate efforts to save their relationship bear some fruit atleast.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt to be the hero and heroine of the perfect ‘Happily Ever After’ fairytale kinda marriage until the seductress Angelina Jolie walked in and stole Brad away from Jennifer.

Though Brangelina loyalist might find it hard to gulp down that Jolie split Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and Jolie also maintained that wasn’t the case.

But the recent bold article in Esquire Magazine claims that Brad did leave Jennifer for Angelina Jolie. It also revealed that Brad Pitt had initially considered casting Jennifer Aniston in his production A Mighty Heart. He bought ‘A Mighty Heart’ for wife Jen as soon as he read the manuscript, with the idea in mid that he would give her the lead role in the film. Of course Jolie gets the lead now as she is with Brad. Then the article flatly states that Brad left Jen for Angelina.

No wonder Angie just keeps him hooked… he not only supports her at home but also gets her work…. thats what we would call an all-rounder!

Angelina Jolie is planning to break many hearts as she indicated that she and her boyfriend Brad Pitt are planning to to swap Hollywood for a life of travelling, parenthood and normal living. [Can’t believe such a famed couple is trying to run away from what they tried so hard to get - popularity!]

In an interview with a magazine she revealed, “Brad and I have a lot of kids, and we want to have more. And they demand a lot of time. It takes a lot just to get all of them fed and clothed and out the door to different schools on time.

“It’s fun and we love it. But you can’t balance everything. I think both of us only plan to work for a few more years. We’ll try to just stop sooner or later, so we can be at home and travel, and just live.”

Considering the busy people they are, I am surprised as to why they keep on adopting kids continuously, all of a similar age group and all, pretty difficult to handle. With the latest addition, the Jolie-Pitt family has 5 yr old, Combodian son, Maddox, 3 yr old Vietnamese son, Pax Thien, 2 yr old Ethiopian daughter Zahara, and 1 yr old biological daughter Shiloh.

UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina also defended herself against the critics who have slammed her decision to adopt children from different countries.

She said: “I feel like I am getting such a great education. Whether people’s thoughts about my family are positive or negative, at the end of the day, I get to come home to these four little people who are the greatest things in the world.”

Well if you want to know a few Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt bedroom secrets then read Marie Claire magazine which quotes Jolie saying “Brad Pitt bring her out of her shell. I don’t know how he does it, but…I talk a lot in the bath. It’s easier to talk when you’re naked…Get naked with me, and I’ll talk!”

well, well, well…looks like the lady’s life is quite interesting with awards from Council on Foreign Relations and also her love life seems rocking…to think of it when you have four kids to look after…the wet thing quite works!

Angelina Jolie reveals about her tattoos for beau Brad Pitt and her kids in her interview with Marie Claire before she takes a year off for family. Take a peep and check out for more as the magazine is on stand now:

Pregnancy and Brad:

Everyone told her it would take about 6 months, but it seems as if the first time they tried, Brad hit the spot. She talks about Namibia, the birth etc…She LOVED being pregnant and Brad found it sexy too..She says a lot about Brad, but this stood out: “He’s much more of a man, than any man I’ve ever met.” Angelina Jolie finds Brad HOT when he’s with the kids. She’s got a tattoo for Brad. The interviewer asks her where are Brad’s coordinates (since she has one for all her kids) Angie: “Brad’s is somewhere else!”

On Marriage:

We are not against it. It just doesn’t seem necessary. He & I have never discussed in detail, but I would assume-because we both went down that road before - its not that contract or that cermony that makes you feel solid. We’ve gone the back way around, and maybe there is something to that - that its hard work and the exhaustion and the children that really make you solid.

Zahara and the other kids:

“She’s a smartass” (Angies words)
One day Zee says to Angie.. “I need a cookie.”
And Angie says to her “You need a cookie? You don’t need a cookie”.
Zee says “Daddy’s gonna cry.”
Angie says “Why is Daddy going to cry?”
“Daddy wants me to have the cookie!” Zee said.
Oh yeah and about Zee’s hair, as soon as they comb it she loosens it out….
Pax is the wildest person in the house, Maddox is the tough guy and Shiloh is walking and trying to eat everything in her path.

The death of her Mom:

She talked about her mom dying. She’s happy her mom met her kids and that Marcheline picked the name Pax. Brad was there for her and took care of everything. Also her strongest memory of that day her mom died, was Brad consoling Jamie while he cried. She got there an hour before she passed. Billy Bob also helped her and gave her advise.

Hollywood:

She did Wanted because she/the family thought it would be a good idea for her to work, do some light work. She realizes that things were getting heavy and she needed something to help pick her up.

Three-year-old Pax who was adopted by Jolie from Vietnam has been now named Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

Jolie had adopted Pax as a single parent but she applied for a change of name from Pax Thien Jolie to Jolie-Pitt. The couple has got 4kids- Maddox (5 years), Pax (3 year old), Zahara (2 year old) and Shiloh (1 year old).
