Angelina Jolie blog

A glowing Angelina Jolie graced the cover of the latest issue of Vanity Fair where she discusses about her pregnant life and her internationally diverse brood.

The Kung Fu Panda star that was rumored to have secretly given birth to her twins said she loves being pregnant, “I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy,” said the glowing mom-to-be.

She also talked about her international brood comprising of Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, “When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh — because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little — and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had,” added the doting mother.

She also added,” Artists raise their kids differently. We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, and we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

When quizzed about her biological daughter Shiloh she said, “We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

Three cheers for this big happy family.

According to recent reports, celebrity super couple Brangelina is all set to tie the knot “within the next couple of weeks”.

The couple who are expecting twins in a couple of weeks have decided to exchange their vows in a private and low-key wedding ceremony before the arrival of their twins.

A source close to the couple said, “Brad and Angelina are planning a small wedding to be held within the next couple of weeks and that means having it in France.

“Angie is finally convinced that marrying Brad is the right thing to do and he thinks it’s the perfect time to do it.

“They want to tie the knot before the twins arrive - which is only a few weeks away - so the clock is ticking”

The couple apparently wants a “simple outdoor ceremony” with a white flowery theme that will appeal to their kids.

An insider reveals, “The kids will be central to the blessing. Maddox and Pax have contributed to the vows.”

Brad Pitt’s parents are ready to fly to France anytime for the wedding day but insist that their visit to Brangelina is not for their wedding but for helping Brangelina and their kids.

A friend of the couple says, “Brad’s parents are thrilled that she’s come round to the idea of a wedding.”

“It took a long while for them to accept Angelina, and she hated that people saw her as the one who stole him from Jennifer Aniston, but that’s all ancient history now and she’s prepared to take the next step.”

Angelina Jolie who is pregnant with twins claims herself to be luckier than other normal pregnant women as she works only for some months in a year.

The Kung Fu Panda star said,  “I’m very, very lucky. A lot of mothers don’t have a job where they can just work a few months in a year and then come out for two days for a press conference.

“My schedule is very small in comparison when it comes to hours so I can afford to spend as much time as possible with my children.”

The heavily pregnant actress also revealed that she and partner Brad Pitt makes sure that either she or Brad are at home to look after the kids while one of them is at work.

Jolie said,” When I’m working, Brad’s home with the children and vice versa.

“We do have nannies that help us, but nobody spends the night.

“We also spend a lot of time completely alone with our children. We’ve kind of found a balance.

“And this year I’m taking off completely for the family.”

Lets hope Angie puts on some weight this year when she is nor working.

Hollywood super couple has finally brought a permanent home in France for their ever-growing hood and the Chateau in French Riviera cost them a whooping $70million.

After going through almost 100 properties the couple zeroed in on the exclusive 35-bedroom Chateau.

The couple spotted the property when they were traveling by their helicopter. They directly bought the property from its owner, which also included a lake, moat, vineyard and a forest.

A source close to the couple says, “It’s a place called Chateau Miraval which is in a tiny village called Brignol in the Var, not far from Aix en Provence.

“Just the driveway up to the Chateau is three miles long.

“There’s a lake and a swimming pool and fountains and fields with ponies in and it’s surrounded by a huge forest so no-one will be able to take pictures of them or the kids.

“They’re both thrilled as they’ve been hunting for a place on the Riviera for over a year and it’s exactly what they want.

“Last year Brad and Angelina took a helicopter along the Riviera and they were literally landing in people’s gardens of houses that they liked and were running in to ask if their properties were for sale.

“And they found this one the same way a few weeks ago, and told the owner to name his price and although it’s a huge sum of money they were happy to pay it as it’s just what they had in mind.

“They’ll be moving in roughly three months and living there full- time.”

“It’s absolutely stunning,” said the source.

“They’ve already bought a couple of million pounds worth of antiques to fill the place and are planning renovations with their Berlin based architects.

“They’re going to enroll the kids in a local French school and they already have friends there like Bono and The Edge from U2 and Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.”

Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt have decided to take a well-deserved break from movies, as Angie wants to be a full time mother.

An insider reveals, “They (Brangelina) have found a house and Angelina has talked about taking time out to be a full-time mother. That may be a break for a year, possibly two.

“Brad is more than happy to stay in France. He loves the whole feeling there. He cycles around the village lanes and takes his kids into the country.”

This family is surely getting French day by day.

Angelina Jolie’s new movie ‘The Exchange’ premiering at Cannes Film Festival reminds her of her late mother.

The movie shows Angelina playing a mother to child who is kidnapped.

At a press conference Angelina said, “It’s personal, but I lost my mother a few months before the film.”

“And to me, [my character Christine’s] very much like my mother. My mother was very passive in many ways, and very, very sweet. But when it came to her children, she was a lion. But as a woman — very shy, almost of her own voice.”

Angelina’s mother Marcheline Bertrand died last year in January because of ovarian cancer.

She added, “In many ways, Christine reminded me of my mom, and it was a way to kind of revisit my mother after passing and spend time with her. It was very nice, and in that way, very healing and interesting for me.”

Speaking about the movie Angie says, “To lose a child, I can’t imagine anything worse, especially not knowing the fate of that child.

“So much of it is being a mother and imagining if this was happening to me, my pain and my frustration.”

Jolie also feels honored to be working with a director like Clint Eastwood, “[It was] amazing,” said Jolie.

She also adds, “I was like anybody would be in this room. I was nervous the first day. He’s really just a great leader, just a great all-round leader. Not just because as a director he is decisive and clear and dedicated to getting the story out.

“But every single member of the crew he respects and gives them his time. Every single person feels valued. Everybody brings their best. I’ve never seen a director command so much respect.”

“Not because he’s Clint Eastwood, but because he is so gracious and connected to every single person. It was a pleasure, and I’m sure every single person on the crew would say the same.”

Angelina Jolie has finally parted with her mother’s home in California. The property was sold off a year after her mother’s death.

Angelina’s mother Marcheline Bertrand’s condominium located in Simi Valley was given away for $330,000 last month on 8th April, before Angelina moved to France for an extended vacation with her family.

Apparently Jolie was apprehensive to give away the property as she felt her mother and memories there. Angelina’s mother died at the age of 56 in January 2007 due to ovarian cancer.

A source close to Angie said, “They were incredibly close. Marcheline was an actress as well, and responsible for getting Angelina involved in film.”

“She had been urged to sell the place by family and friends, but wanted to hold on to one of the last things she could touch or feel of her mother’s spirit.
The source adds, “Finally, after more than a year, she tearfully let it go.”

Angelina Jolie I guess is an inspiration to her kids, as her kids try to imitate their mother even her pregnancy.

The Kung Fu Panda star reveale4d that how her daughter Zahara pretends to be pregnant and says she carries an animal in her tummy.

The heavily pregnant star said, “The kids are excited and they are starting to understand about me being pregnant. We’ve had it before with Shiloh so they know what’s going on.

“Zahara pretends she’s pregnant too and says she has an animal in her tummy. She says the piggy is making her eat all the chocolate brownies! And Pax says he’s got a baby monkey inside him! So it’s really fun in our house at the moment.”

So if Zahara has a piggy and Pax has a monkey, what does Angie carry inside her tummy?

The star who is in France to attend Cannes Film Festival for the launch of her two movie Kung Fu Panda and Changeling at a press-conference said,” I actually haven’t completely decided but we are certainly thinking of France. French is a second language in our house. I’m still learning so I’m not going to attempt it here today. My children are starting to speak French so being here is very good for their language skills.”

Angelina Jolie is happy that her latest animated movie is based in China and would be liked by her two eldest sons Maddox and Pax.

“All my children are from different parts of the world and especially for my boys, - we have teachers who teach Vietnamese and Cambodian in our house. They know their flags and their music and quite a lot about their culture, and that’s something that will continue, as they grow older. I was thrilled when this film came my way because I know how much it would mean to them.”

“Our eldest three have seen the film and they loved it. They are my biggest critics.”

Well if Maddox, Pax and Zahara have loved it, we will love it too.
