Hot Angelina Jolie is a Spy

2007-12-05T23:50:00.000-08:00

Variety reports that Paramount has secured the life rights to Kathi Lynn Austin for an action flick starring Angelina Jolie. Austin is an intelligence operative who has worked with the UN Security Council and whose career has been spent tracking down some of the world's most dangerous arms dealers and terrorists. Jolie's manager, Geyer Kosinski, will produce the film that "was pitched to Paramount as a story that was similar in spirit to The Bourne Identity". The story centers on a fictional arms dealer who was based on an infamous Russian dealer named Victor Bout. Bout was a former KGB major and earned the catchy nickname, "The Merchant of Death" (Nicolas Cage's character in Lord of War was said to be loosely based on Bout).

Hot Angelina Jolieis still shooting the period drama The Changeling with Clint Eastwood for Universal and it has been announced that she will finally get to play the iconic tough girl, Dagny Taggart in the adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. According to Variety, Kosinski has been looking long and hard for a property with some serious franchise potential for Jolie. It makes sense, since both Tomb Raider and Mr. and Mrs. Smith failed to ignite long term franchises. Jolie is a natural when it comes to action films, so the exploits of a globe-trotting super-spy just might do the trick. Paramount is already lining up a short list of writers to kick start the film into production as soon as possible. But, like so many other films, this one is going to have to wait until the strike finally comes to an end.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Producing HBO Series

2007-10-30T07:42:00.000-07:00

Hot Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are making their first joint producing effort with a series project at HBO, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The Bourne Ultimatum co-writer Scott Burns is penning the untitled drama, which will explore the behind-the scenes politics of an international aid organization and chronicle the lives of humanitarian workers assigned to dangerous zones and the people in need they assist.

Jolie, Pitt and Burns, producer of the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, are executive producing. Jolie's longtime manager, Media Talent Group's Geyer Kosinski, serves as co-executive producer.

The trade says the series has been a passion project for Jolie since she did the 2003 feature Beyond Borders, a drama about disaster-relief workers in war-torn countries.

Hot Angelina Jolie Briefly Reveals Her True Colors

2007-10-11T21:39:00.000-07:00

Everything usually looks better in black and white for rock star mommy Angelina Jolie. The Oscar winning actress holds court daily now in the streets of Gotham where a rope line of sorts reveals the star actress (and the woman Brad Pitt is currently sleeping with) as she fetches up her son Maddox Jolie-Pitt from the Lycee Francais School in New York City. So what did observers concentrate on Wednesday?
Celebrity watchers have been eying Jolie's breasts and belly looking for cleavage and a bump as some reports claim the actress is knocked up or plans to be soon. But the buzz on Wednesday was that Jolie allowed some color to shine through.

***

Angelina Jolie changed out of her drab black but her choice was quickly lampooned. Michael K of D-Listed has this: "Angelina dropped the black and instead wore a sweater in the perfect shade of baby diarrhea. She should've kept the black. And yes this is Angelina picking up Maddox from school this afternoon and not attending a red carpet event."

He adds, "Seriously, don't those people have anything better to do?! They act like they've never seen a wealthy, emaciated woman with a stick up her ass on the Upper East Side before. Dime a dozen." Photos and comments are here.

Perhaps Angelina Jolie read them as she has quickly went back to basics. Just Jared notes here that Angelina was spotted leaving the United Nations building in New York City on Thursday morning after a brief meeting with officials. The mother-of-four went back to basics and wore head-to-toe black including a classy black trench coat and her trusty Jimmy Choo “Sami” shoes.

Brad Pitt tells C-P: Angelina Jolie helps me pick roles

2007-10-03T08:23:00.000-07:00

Ever since "Legends of the Fall" turned him into a household name, Brad Pitt has been Hollywood's reigning matinee idol. With appearances in movies like "Seven," "Fight Club," "Twelve Monkeys," "Snatch," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Babel," the actor has figured out a way to mix popcorn pictures with edgier fare.

But how does he pick those winners? He recently let the Courier-Post in on one of his secrets, saying he turns primarily to companion Angelina Jolie for advice.

"I rely on her opinions," he says. "She's the best sounding board that I have and I value her opinion immensely. She (ticks) me off sometimes, but she's smart and she loves film as much as I do."

Now that Pitt is the father to Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 2 and Shiloh, 1, he's toyed with the idea of doing more family-friendly films. But after showing his kids "Sinbad," Pitt says he's decided to stay away from animated movies.

"It was actually confusing for the kids because they were, like, `That sounds like you but it doesn't look like you.' So, I think I'll keep it separate. I'd rather have them be able to enjoy their cartoons without any more confusion from me."

That shouldn't be a problem in his next film, with co-star George Clooney.

Clooney, who also worked with Pitt in all of the "Ocean's" films, is co-starring with him in the upcoming Coen Brothers' CIA thriller "Burn After Reading."

Clooney believes Pitt is one of Hollywood's most underrated performers.

"I'll tell you that Brad's a really brave actor, which is an interesting thing," says Clooney. "People don't say that enough about him. What he did in `Snatch' is just phenomenal. Phenomenal. He should have been nominated."

Pitt already has his next two projects picked out. He'll play a man who is aging backwards in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008), which co-stars Cate Blanchett. For "State of Play" (2008), he'll reteam with "Fight Club" co-star Edward Norton as a reporter digging into the suspicious death of a congressman's mistress.

Angelina Jolie Son Maddox’s School Tells Parents: Stop Taking Pictures of Brangelina

2007-09-29T08:03:00.000-07:00

One would think that parents at Maddox Jolie-Pitt’s new school, Lycee Francais de New York, would be upset that his famous family is disrupting their schedules. But it turns out it’s the Jolie-Pitts who are being inconvenienced, by Lycee Francais parents who can’t help but ask Brangelina for autographs.

The New York Observer reports that the Lycee’s director of operations, Dan Cooke, had to ask parents to leave Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie alone. He wrote in a letter, “Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition. Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren) I must ask for everyone to please respect the family’s privacy and discontinue these practices.”

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have made concerted efforts to ensure that the chaos that surrounds them is kept to a minimum when dropping son Maddox, 5, off for classes. Cooke explains in his letter:

“I’m sure you are aware the school has received much media attention recently during the arrival and dismissal times because of the presence of celebrities Ms. Angelina Jolie and/or Mr. Brad Pitt. I want to make you aware that before the first day of school I met with their security team to discuss the best manner in which for them to drop off and pick up their son. Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families.”

A source tells the Observer that the constant attention of the paparazzi (and eager parents) has already had an effect on adopted son Maddox. The normally happy Mad got scared and started to cry when his kindergarten class was asked to bring in a picture of themselves.

Angelina wants to adopt a baby from Burma to add to her ‘rainbow’ family

2007-09-24T12:35:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want to expand their “rainbow” family by adopting a child from Burma.

The couple have enlisted the help of one of the country’s leading monks to plan a trip to an orphanage.

According to an insider, Angelina, 32, has become “increasingly despondent” about the progress she is making in helping the Third World.
She is said to be desperate to offer help to troubled nations, and feels the repressive Republic of Myanmar, or Burma, is the ideal place to adopt another child – preferably, a girl.

The actress already has four children. She adopted eldest son Maddox, six, from Cambodia five years ago, prior to her relationship with Pitt. Two years ago she and Pitt, 43, adopted an Ethiopian girl, Zahara.

Earlier this year the couple adopted Pax Thien, three, from Vietnam and last year Angelina gave birth to their daughter Shiloh.
The source said: “Angelina feels she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative.
“She wants to step up her action in what she calls Red Alert areas, the most seriously troubled, war-torn areas in the world.

“Angelina Jolie’s in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly.”

The source added Angelina had been talking to a monk about a safe travel route through the military state and a visit to an orphanage.

She is said to believe adopting another girl would balance her family and a child from Burma would fit into its racial mix.

Angelina Jolie has enlisted the help of Dr Jane Aronson, an adoption specialist who runs the Worldwide Orphans Foundation.

It is understood she has acted as a mentor to the actress after helping her with the adoption of Zahara.

According to the source, Angelina’s frustration at not doing enough to help the Third World is exacerbated by her sense that she and Pitt spend too much time in Hollywood.

She is also said to have become depressed after the death of her mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand, in January. The actress has blamed her weight plummeting to under 107 lbs. on her grief.

Angelina Jolie has spoken in the past of her desire to start a “rainbow” family of children adopted from nations all over the world.

She recently said: “Ever since I was about 12, I’ve always wanted to adopt – I don’t know why. We want to have a big, big family.”

Angelina Jolie to Appear Nude in New Movie

2007-09-11T07:27:00.000-07:00

Actress Angelina Jolie will be appearing in nothing but gold paint in her new movie 'Beowulf'.

Jolie plays the mother of Grendl, the evil monster in the film, and in one scene appears in nothing but gold paint. In the trailer, Jolie can be seen emerging from a lake completely naked but covered in a golden sheen, contactmusic.com reported. The movie also has Ray Winstone and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Jolie had taken a break from acting after the birth of her baby but now has begun filming a new action role and is eager to get back to work.

She said: 'It seemed like a good thing for me - and my family agreed - to have a reason to get strong and do something that was not serious.'

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Lost Shiloh & Now Angie's Ass-Photo Online

Angelina Jolie Did Not Throw Wine at Brad Pitt

2007-08-28T08:08:00.000-07:00

Hot people should not be fighting. A source close to 'The Brad and Angelina Project' says rumors that the couple are fighting and near splitting up are completely untrue. "There are no problems whatsoever," the source adds. "Things are really good."

In fact, those who know the couple best say their only problem at the moment is the rumors themselves: that Jolie is fighting with Pitt, suffers from an eating disorder and is feuding with Pitt's parents, Bill and Jane. I like to imagine that the 'Jolie-Pitt source' is Maddox. "Yeah everythings cool over here at camp Bradgelina. The new ones get on my nerves a bit but what are you gonna do y'know. I'm trying to focus on the positive.

The wine throwing? Yeah that was totally me. I forgot to take my Prilosec. Oh, crap here they come, send the money to the normal Swiss account." He says as he hides his Parliament Light in a crayon box and quickly goes back to finger painting.

PLEASE NOTE: In no way does 'A Socialite's Life' encourage or condone children smoking. Unless they have a little mohawk that screams 'I'm a Badass!." Then it's just part of the image.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt And Their Political Differences

2007-08-10T08:05:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have recently been reported to be in heated arguments over their political differences.

Reports surfaced that Angelina Jolie was supporting John Edwards for the 2008 presidency, while her partner Brad, supported Barack Obama.

However, Angelina Jolie now says that the reports of her backing Edwards are false, as she's made no endorsement thus far.

In fact, the AP reports that the Oscar-winning actress, known for her humanitarian work, says she is not endorsing anyone at this time.

In a written statement on Wednesday, Angelina Jolie said she had not made a decision yet, as to who Angelina Jolie will support. "There are many false stories that circulate about me, but the one I feel I need to address, because it is about such an important topic, is that I have not decided to endorse John Edwards, or any other presidential candidate," Angelina Jolie said.

"Like many Americans, I am learning more about the candidates' records and positions but at this time I have not yet made an endorsement," she said.

There was no statement from the Brad Pitt camp on whether or not he is officially endorsing Obama.

It is pretty sad that any of us would rely on the opinion of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt or any Hollywood star for that matter, to make our decision as to who we will support for the presidency. Anyone who does that, might as well ask 6-year-old Maddox what he thinks.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Political Enemies - Fight Has Just Begun!

2007-08-09T12:34:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are political enemies, claims Life and Style Magazine. According to their report, Angelina and Brad got into a fight regarding the upcoming Presidential election. With the election not until November of 2008, it looks like the fight has just begun!

Brad Pitt is reported to be an Obama fan, while Angelina prefers John Edwards, reports Dlisted. A source said, "Brad ended up calling her immature. He says the next thing he knew, Angie was cursing at him and throwing a glass of wine in his face."

"He was left standing there with wine dripping down his face onto his clothes."

The source also claims that Brad was so disgusted by her behavior and stormed out of the room to change his clothes.

Hey, I've been involved in a number of political debates myself, so I can understand how heated they can get.

I'll bet afterwards they had great make-up sex though!

Oliver Stone wishes hed bedded Angelina Jolie

2007-08-07T07:28:00.000-07:00

Hollywood director Oliver Stone is the latest celebrity to admit that he wanted to sleep with actress Angelina Jolie, and his other leading ladies.

London, Aug. 6 : Hollywood director Oliver Stone is the latest celebrity to admit that he wanted to sleep with actress Angelina Jolie, and his other leading ladies.

The 61-year-old insisted that the fact that though he had never had an on-set romance, he wished to bed every actress he had worked with.

"Unfortunately I've never had an on-set romance, I'm too conscientious. That's not to say I wouldn't have liked to, but unfortunately my job description limits me," News of the World quoted him as saying

"I wish I'd had all of them, goddammit! I like all the actresses I've worked with in some way or another," he added.

The filmmaker also laughed off reports that claimed Angelina Jolie was very thin, and said that the actress looked great.

Stone, who worked with Jolie on the epic 'Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut', claimed that she had been "a delight from beginning to end".

"Angelina Joli's always been on the - I wouldn't say skeletal - but thin side, that's her nature. But Angelina Joli's a beautiful woman," he said.

Stone also said that 'Alexander Revisited' could have turned into a fiasco if any of the actors had drug problems.

The director further said that he might consider working with Lindsay Lohan if she were under control.

"Angelina Joli's certainly talented, she's got great screen charisma. If Angelina Joli were under control, I would probably work with her. I wouldn't judge her past against her, as long as she's balanced," he said.

"There are a lot of talented people in the world, I could work with Paris Hilton, too. I wouldn't cross off anything off the list," he added.

Angelina Jolie Nude: Full Frontal Photos, Trailer From "Beowulf"

2007-08-06T00:55:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie goes full frontal in "Beowulf" and thanks to a whole bunch of enhancement the star looks voluptuous once again. The Tomb Raider actress plays a seductive water demon in the big-screen adaptation of epic Old English poem Beowulf. Jolie will appear in the animated movie wearing just a long braid, covered in gold paint and with hooves instead of feet.

Cinematical has this: The international trailer for Beowulf is being hosted over at ComingSoon.net, and it's mostly the same as the other trailer we recently saw, except that this one has a shot of Angelina from behind, a couple of her from the side and one of her nude from the belly-button up.

It's another lousy job by Hot Angelina Jolie as she butchers yet another accent, but the digital enhancement at least makes her look good again. Ryan Stewart adds, "Speaking of Angelina, someone really needs to talk to her about the accents, because the voice she's sporting in this film seems like Dracula again, which is exactly what we heard in Alexander and even a bit in A Mighty Heart."

"When I spoke with her at the press day for Heart she talked about working with a voice coach and how some accents were more challenging than others, and I have no doubt she's talented enough to broaden her accent range, but she probably needs someone to tell her that it's necessary. We've heard Transylvanian Jolie -- let's hear something else."

Hot Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Are Approaching Expiration Date

2007-07-24T21:47:00.000-07:00

Hot Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are approaching the expiration date of their relationship, speculate some.

Speculation appears to be mixed lately, however some people believe that the couple won't last much longer, because Angelina has a "three-year expiration date on relationships." After all, history shows that both of Angelina's past relationships always end after three years, reports Showbizspy.

Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller were linked in 1995, married in 1996, and split in 1997. Whereas, her next relationship with Billy Bob Thornton began in 2000 and ended in July of 2002.

It is these facts that have some people asking if Angelina Jolie will end her relationship with Brad soon.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have one thing going for them however, that the other relationships didn't...the share the commitment of their four children.

Even so, an insider has reportedly said that Angelina Jolie is ready to split. "Many couples have a so-called seven-year itch, but Angie seems unsettled in the relationship already," the insider reports to Showbizspy.

Angelina Jolie Using Shiloh to Fight Jennifer Aniston & Brad Pitt's Mom

2007-07-09T11:12:00.000-07:00

Hot Angelina Jolie isn't happy. Jennifer Aniston met her ex-husband Brad Pitt's mother Jane on Father's Day and Angelina Jolie is prepared to put her daughter Shiloh in the middle of the battle.

Angelina Jolie threw Brad Pitt a party on Father's Day and she was nice enough to invite Brad Pitt's parents. However when his mother, Jane Pitt, bolted to visit Brad's ex, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie was left furious, according to a Life & Style report.

A source told the New York Post newspaper recently: "Angelina really does not like Jennifer, even though Jennifer has not ever done anything to her and couldn't care less about her. She doesn't like that Brad's mom is still close with Jennifer and is threatened by that."

Jane, who was escorted to Jennifer's rented Malibu beachfront home by Brad's security team, spent two hours with her former daughter-in-law on Sunday.

Jennifer, who was reportedly left "devastated" by the breakdown of her marriage to Brad in 2005, has remained on good terms with Jane since the split.

Jane was said to be equally "upset" that her 43-year-old son's union with Jennifer, 38, ended.

According to Life & Style, a Pitt family friend dishes that Angelina Jolie called called Jane Pitt later on. "Angie is the mother of Jane's grandchild and feels she deserves more respect," a Pitt family insider tells the tabloid. "She told her, 'If you continue to disrespect me and carry on like this, then you won't see Shiloh.'"

Holy crap! the ice woman strikes again. And you know she means it, ask Jon Voight.

Angelina Jolie's Princess Diana Inspiration

2007-07-04T04:54:00.001-07:00

Angelina Jolie cites late British royal Diana, Princess Of Wales for inspiring her charity work.

The 32-year-old actress, who became involved in human rights activism after filming a movie in formerly war-stricken Cambodia in 2001, hopes to mirror the Princess' efforts in her quest to help heal the world.

The Mr & Mrs Smith beauty says, "Diana inspired me immensely. I followed the work she undertook very closely, especially the issue of landmines.

"It was fascinating that she chose that cause. No matter what I do, I always want to go to refugee camps and meet with the most unfortunate. I have found it a privilege - a way of making me feel alive."

Angelina Jolie Praises Brad Pitt's Parents

2007-06-26T08:00:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie has praised partner Brad Pitt's parents for accepting her and her adopted children so soon after the actor's divorce from Jennifer Aniston. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's relationship was made public in April 2005 when they were photographed vacationing with the actress' adopted son Maddox on a beach in Kenya - just three months after the actor split from Aniston after four and half years of marriage.

The Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-stars officially confirmed their relationship in January 2006 when they announced that "they" were expecting their first biological child together. Daughter Shiloh Nouvel was born four months later in Namibia. Last year, Brad Pitt filed papers to be recognized as the legal adoptive father of Jolie's adopted children Maddox and Zahara, and the couple recently added Vietnamese tot Pax to their brood.

Angelina Jolie admits she was worried when Angelina Jolie first met Brad Pitt's parents Jane and William - whose fondness for Aniston is well-documented - but they were very nice to her. Angelina Jolie says, "When I first met them I came in with two adopted children from other countries and I didn't know how they were going to be. But they are equally loving with them."

Angelina Jolie's Weighty Confession

2007-06-21T07:41:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie has revealed her mother's death triggered her dramatic weight loss.

The actress lost her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to ovarian cancer in January and has since become noticeably thinner.

Hot Angelina Jolie confessed at the New York premiere of her new film A Mighty Heart on Wednesday: "I've always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I've gone through a lot.

"I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding - it's been hard to get my nutrition back on track."

The 32-year-old - who has adopted five-year-old Maddox, three-year-old Pax and two-year-old Zahara and has a one-year-old biological daughter Shiloh with Brad Pitt - insists her weight loss is not something she is proud of.

'Saying that I'm thin is no compliment'

Hot Angelina Jolie added: "Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it's because I want to fit into skinny jeans.

"Someone saying to me that I'm thin is not a compliment."

The Tomb Raider star - once famous for her curves - sparked concern among fans when she was pictured looking painfully thin with veins protruding in her arms.

Hot Angelina Jolie Admits Journalist Gag Order 'Excessive'

2007-06-19T08:45:00.000-07:00

Hot Angelina Jolie has admitted that a gag order issued to reporters covering a premiere of her new film about murdered journalist Daniel Pearl was "excessive."

Angelina Jolie's representatives ordered journalists attending a screening of "A Mighty Heart" in New York this week to sign a document agreeing that they would steer clear of questions about her private life.

Several media outlets refused to sign the agreement and others accused Angelina Jolie of hypocrisy in making the request all the while promoting a film about a journalist murdered for pursuing a story.

The New York screening was also held to raise awareness of the Reporters Without Borders press watchdog.

In an interview with satirical news program "The Daily Show" late Thursday, Hot Angelina Jolie admitted the gag order was over the top.

"There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, 'Don't get into personal questions, focus on the movie,' and things like that," Jolie told host Jon Stewart.

"It was from my representative trying to be protective of me, but it was excessive and I wouldn't have put it out there."

Hot Angelina Jolie's lawyer Robert Offer was quoted by the New York Times as saying the contract was created by a "bone-headed, over-zealous lawyer" -- himself -- and that the star had not been aware of it.

"This was my creating something to protect her from the press's talking about personal matters, a document that would limit discussion to the film," he said.

"But it was drafted overly broadly. It was well intended, but I understand how it was received."

Sexxy Angelina Jolie issued a similar agreement to reporters covering a Los Angeles press event for her 2005 film "Mr and Mrs Smith" amid a media frenzy about her relationship with partner and co-star Brad Pitt.

Pearl, who worked for the Wall Street Journal, was murdered in Pakistan by Islamic extremists in 2002 while researching outlawed groups.

Hot Angelina Jolie Begged Brother to See Her Through Mother's Day

2007-06-18T10:51:00.000-07:00

London, June 14 : Hot Actress Angelina Jolie reportedly begged her brother James Haven to be at her side during the first Mother's Day since the death of their mother actress Marcheline Bertrand, who succumbed to ovarian cancer, earlier this year.

The 'Girl Interrupted' actress was shooting for her new film in Prague and wanted her elder brother to be with her during the first Mothering Sunday.

Thirty-four year -old James Haven rushed to his sister's side and the two spent Mother's day by seeing pictures of their beloved mum and talking about their childhood.

The siblings are said to have spent the whole night crying.

"They spent the night crying, looking at photos of Marcheline and talking about their childhood," Daily Express quoted a source, as saying.

Haven later spent a few days with Angelina Jolie, her partner actor Brad Pitt and the couple's kids.

He made sure that his sister was 'back at her feet' before he got back to the US.

"He then spent a few days in Prague with his sister, her partner Brad Pitt and their children to make sure Angelina was back on her feet before he returned to the US," the source added.

French actress Bertrand died at the age of 56 after a seven-year-long battle with the disease.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were at her side when she breathed her last.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Plan to Quit Acting

2007-06-14T05:30:00.000-07:00

The 'A Mighty Heart' actress has revealed the couple plan to swap Hollywood for a life of travelling, parenthood and normal living. Nude Angelina Jolie said in an interview with Parade magazine: '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.' Angelina and Brad - who have three adopted children, Cambodian son Maddox, five, three-year-old Vietnamese son Pax Thien and Ethiopian daughter Zahara, two, and one-year-old biological daughter Shiloh - started dating after co-starring in 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' together in 2005. UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina also defended herself against the critics who have slammed her decision to adopt children from different countries.

Angelina Jolie 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.'

Courteney Cox: Leave Jennifer Aniston Alone, Nevermind Angelina Jolie

2007-06-07T00:45:00.001-07:00

Courteney Cox is urging the public to "stop worrying" about Jennifer Aniston, insisting her best friend is doing "great".

Cox and her husband David Arquette were holidaying with Aniston and her now ex-husband Brad Pitt on the Caribbean island of Anguilla in January 2005 when the golden couple announced they were splitting up.

While Pitt has gone on to find love with his Mr & Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie and become the father of four children in the space of 15 months, Aniston has had an 18-month relationship with her The Break Up co-star Vince Vaughn, but is now single.

While the media often presents Aniston as a lonely, broken-hearted woman, Cox insists her former Friends co-star is happy.

In an interview with a journalist from Marie Claire, she says, "I think it might be getting a little better now, but for a while her life was expected to be everyone's life.

"Look, I don't want to be rude or anything, but I usually don't talk about Jennifer in interviews. People should stop worrying about Angelina Jolie life.

"I could talk about just how great she is doing at the moment, but then it's just an interview about her. I understand your position because her world is so public but, well, I can tell you we're both very fortunate to have each other."

Hot Angelina Jolie Plans Secret Wedding

2007-05-31T01:45:00.000-07:00

Hot Angelina Jolie is secretly planning a lavish wedding for her and her lover Brad Pitt, it has been reported.

The actress - who has been married twice before - is said to have secretly accepted Brad's marriage proposal, and is now organising a ceremony which will dwarf the actor's 2000 $1m wedding to Jennifer Aniston.

A source told Grazia magazine: "Angelina has been reluctant to get married for a third time, for obvious reasons.

Daytime party for the kids

"Brad Pitt wallpapers has been persistent and has now given in, but she wants the day to be really memorable. While she doesn't want it to be unnecessarily lavish, that's not her style, it will still be an event Hollywood will never forget.

"Angelina Jolie also wants their children to see it as a huge celebration of her and Brad's love for them.

"The daytime part of the celebration will be for the kids, with clowns and balloons and fire-eaters. But then the real party will begin in the evening."

Nude Angelina Jolie - who has three adopted children, Maddox, five, Pax Thien, three and Zahara, two, and a biological daughter with Brad, one-year-old Shiloh - is to start looking at dates and venues in the autumn.

Celebrity chef

While Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anderser Aniston served lobster at their nuptials seven years ago, Angelina is said to be keen on hiring a celebrity chef to specially create a dish for the event.

The source added: "The wedding could end up being twice the size of the one Brad had with Jennifer."

Brad Pitt, 43, was still married to Jennifer when he met Hot Angelina Jolie on the set of their action movie Mr and Mrs Smith.

Angelina was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Angelina Jolie to Take a Year Break From Hollywood

2007-05-23T08:08:00.000-07:00

"I'm working this summer. I'm in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months. And then I take a year off."

"Get all the fashion, glamour and scandal here in pictures!"

Angelina Jolie is set to take a break from acting.

The star wants to spend quality time with her family - partner Brad Pitt, and children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh - away from the pressures of work.

Hot Angelina Jolie says, "I'm working this summer. I'm in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months. And then I take a year off."

Despite Hot Angelina Jolie's claims, she has recently signed to star in two films 'The Changeling' and 'Atlas Shrugged,' which are scheduled to be released next year.

Hot Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Hand Over $1 Million in Aid to Refugees

2007-05-18T11:45:00.001-07:00

Angelina Jolie what you will about these two, they sure aren't stingy when it comes to handing out funds for humanitarian causes. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently continued to put their money were their mouths are (OK, totally just botched that whole metaphor, but it is Friday) by donating $1 million toward aiding the refugees in Darfur in Sudan. The three organizations to receive the money from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation are the International Rescue Committee, the International NGO, SOS Children's Villages and the UN Refugee Agency. Michel Gabaudian, Regional Representative of the UNHCR for the U.S. and the Caribbean, expressed his appreciation on the behalf of his organization for the couple's philanthropic efforts.

"This generous donation comes just months after Angelina Jolie made a personal visit to a refugee camp in Chad and it shows, once again, her and Brad Pitts' commitment to helping refugees and the displaced. As Goodwill Ambassador, Ms. Jolie's continued support of UNHCR and those we seek to help is a powerful force in ensuring they are not forgotten," Us Weekly quoted him, as saying.

I gots to say, it's nice to be writing about celebrities who aren't in the midst of some kind of DUI situation or a crazy, embittered divorce. Although, don't get me wrong, I still love writing about DUI situations and crazy, embittered divorces--I just appreciate a little good news here and there. But not too much. Don't everyone start thinking they should behave!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have banned their children from watching their violent movies.

The couple, who met playing weapon-wielding assassins in Mr & Mrs Smith, have also banned their brood from playing with toy guns because they don't want them exposed to violence.

"Most of her successful roles have had her waving weapons and getting violent."

Pitt, 43, and Jolie, 31, are currently in Prague, where Jolie is filming Wanted, alongside Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy.

Wanted focuses on a man who realises his late father was an assassin and then trains to become a professional killer.

2007-05-04T00:39:00.001-07:00

Angelina Jolie has been seen giving Olivier Martinez a lap dance. The Hollywood stars, who attended the premiere of Angelina Jolie's directorial debut 'A Place In Time' at New York's Tribeca Film Festival, headed to a small VIP after-party at Gin Lane restaurant.

Angelina reportedly performed a raunchy routine for Olivier at the party. A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Angelina started dancing and waving her arms after being cheered on by a group of drummers.

"She turned to Olivier on the banquette and was shaking it in front of him. She was giving him a lap dance.

"She was looking over her shoulder, tossing a glance his way. "It was very, very flirty."

Angelina Jolie Walks The Walk Says Bill O'Reilly

2007-04-27T07:43:00.001-07:00

Angelina Jolie was a topic of discussion on tonight's O'Reilly Factor. Bill O'Reilly's guest was Angelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight.

O'Reilly opened the segment by telling Voight that his people "checked her out" and that she walks the walk. Angie gives and gives. But, we already knew that.

O'Reilly also proclaimed her the most interesting person in the world. Voight proclaimed his pride in his daughter and claimed that she is one of those unique people in the world that use their wealth and fame for the better good.

O'Reilly attempted to point out the political differences between Angelina Jolie and her father but Voight was more interested in clarifying his concerns. Among the common concerns we all share, Voight wanted to reflect on the bashing of the President and how it is "not the time" for name-calling and finger pointing.

Ironically enough, Hot Angelina Jolie has been publicly critical of the president in the past. She said back in January, "When I travel, people feel uncomfortable when I say I'm American. They think it's suspicious that I want to do something positive for them. I think they wonder why the American people re-elected a President who is making foreign policy choices that are affecting other countries in a way that we should question."

Was Voight sending Angie a hidden message?

Angelina Jolie -- Sexiest Movie Assassin

2007-04-22T23:41:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie has been named the sexiest movie assassin for her role as Jane Smith in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," according to U.S. media reports Friday.

Angelina Jolie is set to play an assassin again. In March, Scottish comic writer Mark Millar, one of the world's leading comic writers and works for Marvel, convinced Jolie to appear in his first motion picture, a 100 million pounds (over 200 million U.S. dollars) science fiction movie.

The actress will star as a leading assassin, called The Fox, in this Universal Pictures' action adventure flick to be released next year, which is an adaptation of a novel titled "Wanted" published three years ago.

"Hot Angelina Jolie's pretty much the biggest female star in the world right now and so I'm naturally quite pleased about the casting," Millar explained his choice.

"Angelina Jolie's spectacular-looking and, as her Oscar proves, a great actress with real depth I think she's one of the few Hollywood A-listers who could pull this off. The rest of them are very tiny and dainty. Angelina Jolie looks like she could kick your head in," Millar added.

Within the top sexiest movie assassins list, the Oscar winner was followed by Kristanna Loken for her role in "Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines" at the second spot.

Actress Rebecca Romijn ranked at the third for her turn as Mystique in "X Men."

The Top 10 sexiest movie assassins:

1) Angelina Jolie - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"

2) Kristanna Loken –"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines"

3) Rebecca Romijn – "X-Men"

4) Uma Thurman – "Kill Bill"

5) Anne Parillaud – "La Femme Nikita"

6) Alicia Keys – "Smokin’ Aces"

7) Emily Mortimer – "The 51st State"

8) Lucy Liu, Ballistic – "Ecks vs. Sever"

9) Charlize Theron – "Aeon Flux"

10) Jennifer Garner – "Elektra"

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Troubles Spread to the Kids?

2007-04-18T08:12:00.000-07:00

Brad Pitt recently fiercely defended his live in girlfriend Angelina Jolie. According to a report the hunky Hollywood actor wants everyone to cut Angelina some slack. But the Angelina Jolie backlash has hit a fever pitch, really ramping up after the last adoption. And now it may be having an effect on the kids. The UK Daily mail reports that according to these reports, the pillow-lipped actress recently left Brad to take care of their three adopted children, Maddox, five, Zahara, two, and Pax, three, and their own child, Shiloh, born barely a year ago, while she went to Chicago to work on a new movie called Wanted.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Troubles Spread to the Kids?

Other reports have it that the passion between Brad and Angelina has cooled in the past year and she's very close to breaking up with him, the paper reports. Considering these two have been generating news stories for more than two years - ever since meeting in 2004 on the set of Mr. And Mrs. Smith - their break-up would be the biggest showbiz story of the year.

***

And now a friend of nude angelina jolie's seemed to suggest that Angelina jolie could get out of the relationship easily if she chose: "She's been married twice before. She knows she's not the marrying kind, which is why she hasn't married Brad, the chatty pal dished to the paper.

"He's much more domesticated. He'd marry her in a second if that's what she wanted. She doesn't. So, if it ends, I think she could extricate herself without too much trouble." The article concludes that in trying to balance everything - movie star career, "husband", family life - something might have to give and probably - hopefully, anyway - it won't be the kids.

"But what's going to happen when she's left alone with a whole bunch of children and no man?" asked one concerned friend of the actress.

" Is she finally going to be happy then? She'll have her independence, sure. But then what?"

Where's the Angelina Jolie money?

2007-04-17T05:03:00.000-07:00

A Cambodian charity threatened on Wednesday to sue Angelina Jolie for breach of contract, saying the Hollywood star had reneged on a promise to give $1.5 million over five years to wildlife conservation.

However, Stephan Bognar, the Cambodia-based head of the star's Maddox Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Project, said the angelina jolie relationship with Cambodian Vision in Development (CVD) had ended amicably in December because their aid work was "moving on to a new level".

"Angelina Jolie and I will be unveiling our new programme and committment to Cambodia in about a month," Bognar told Reuters from the western town of Battambang.

Much of the organisation's work would centre around community development, rather than wildlife conservation, he said.

Besides accusing Angelina Jolie of breaking funding promises, CVD head Mounh Sarath said his organisation had taken exception to reported suggestions from Jolie's lawyer that it had stolen some of her donations and was considering a libel action.

"I have been asking hot angelina jolie and her lawyer to give me an appropriate answer, but so far no answer," Mounh Sarath said from the western town of Battambang.

"Now I give sexxy angelina jolie one week and if there is still no answer I will a file suit in the local court of Battambang."

The Oscar-winning actress, who adopted a Cambodian son, Maddox, in 2002, was granted special citizenship of the war-scarred southeast Asian nation last year in recognition of her environmental contributions.

In 2003, Mounh Sarath said angelina jolie had paid out $350,000 to kick off a long-term project to set up a 20,000 hectare (50,000 acre) wildlife sanctuary in a jungle-clad area once controlled by Pol Pot's ultra-Maoist Khmer Rouge.

It is not clear how much more money was paid out.

Angelina Jolie to Net $500,000 from Mum's Life Insurance

2007-04-16T06:28:00.001-07:00

ANGELINA JOLIE and her brother JAMES HAVEN will split their mother's $1.2 million (GBP615,000) life insurance policy between them, as instructed in her will. Marcheline Bertrand lost her battle with cancer in January (06) and now the details of her will have been made public. In an attachment in her own writing, the late actress claims she's still owed $180,000 (GBP92,000) in spousal support from her ex-husband Jon Voight.

Angelina Jolie has named Jolie and Haven co-executors of her estate. Bertrand has also left $100,000 (GBP51,300) each to Angelina Jolie's children Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.

Angelina Jolie adopts Vietnamese boy

2007-03-15T09:09:00.000-07:00

HOLLYWOOD actress Angelina Jolie has left a Vietnamese orphanage with her
new son, whom she has renamed Pax Thien Jolie. Officials said the adoption of the boy from the Ho Chi Minh City orphanage would be final once US consular and embassy officials gave approval.

The boy had been registered at Tam Binh orphanage under the name Pham Quang Sang.

Angelina Jolie and her child were driven from the orphanage to the Justice Department in the city centre to sign adoption documents. Her car was seen leaving the underground parking area 30 minutes later.

"It is lucky for him. It's wonderful to be adopted by someone really famous. You can have a good life," said Nguyen Thi Thuong, 39, who was at the office with her British husband to register their child's birth certificate. The boy adopted by Angelina Jolie is aged between 3 and 4.

Angelina Jolie has three other children - an adoptive son and daughter and a biological daughter with Hollywood actor and partner Brad Pitt. Angelina Jolie flew into Ho Chi Minh City late yesterday from Japan on a chartered plane, accompanied by her son and daughters.

The boy, described by adoption authorities as healthy, had been abandoned at a local hospital in 2003 and cared for since at the orphanage. Senior officials said Jolie's adoption had been speded up, partly due to her celebrity status.

The actress, 31, filed adoption papers in early March through an unidentified American agency without Pitt. Under Vietnamese law, a single person may adopt a child but an unmarried couple
may not. In Vietnam, adoptions can take as little as one month if background checks are quickly completed along with confirmation the adopting family can support a child.

Angelina Jolie and Pitt Brad visited Ho Chi Minh City last November and met children at the orphanage. The couple say they have no plans to marry but are committed to raising their
children together.

Their biological daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, was born last year.

Angelina Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia before her relationship with Pitt Brad, who has now become their adoptive father.

The couple starred in the 2005 movie Mr & Mrs Smith.

They are also working together on the film A Mighty Heart about the killing of a US journalist by Pakistani militants.

Couple's Jinx: Angelina Jolie Hubby Brad Pitt's Film Struggling

2007-03-10T23:12:00.000-08:00

Since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt splashed onto America's movie screens in 2005 with their action flick 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' neither one of the actors has had a real hit. Brad starred in the critically acclaimed 'Babel' but it was never a big box office draw. And Angelina Jolie's 'The Good Shepherd' was panned by critics and never played well to audiences either. Certainly their next film will be a hit - right?

Couple's Jinx: Angelina Jolie Hubby Brad Pitt's Film Struggling?

Angelina Jolie new movie.

Well for Brad he always has the 'Ocean's' franchise to fall back on. But according to reports his 'solo' project, 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' has lost its way and test audiences are rejecting it.

***

A report from In Touch Weekly claims that at a recent test screening one witness that apparently counted as people headed for the exits claimed that 28 people walked out of the theater during the showing. "The movie is long and boring and has little action," a screener dished to the weekly entertainment magazine.

Us Weekly Magazine says basically the same thing reporting that The Assassination of Jesse James has reportedly been a dud with critics and test audiences.

***

Cue the rep ™: Brad pitt's rep denies the movie is a dud and insists that viewers walked out during the very violent scenes. "They are working on it," the rep told ITW. "This isn't the exact movie they will have in theaters." The film is due out later this year.

After their mega-hit 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' wowed audiences with the curiosity of an alleged affair during the filming of the movie, have Brad and Angie now brought a 'couple's jinx' on their projects?

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie are adopting a Vietnamese boy for son Maddox

2007-03-09T06:41:00.000-08:00

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are adopting a Vietnamese boy for son Maddox. The 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' stars - parents to five-year-old Cambodian son Maddox, two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara and ten-month-old biological daughter Shiloh - believe an Asian boy would be the best addition to the
family for Maddox reports Female First UK.

A source is quoted by People magazine as saying: "The process that began shortly after Shiloh was born last May.

" It's wonderful that people are excited about it. But Angelina is only at the beginning of a very comprehensive and detailed process."britney spears old mp3 free

Vietnamese adoption official Vu Duc Long revealed last week Angelina has filed papers to become an adoptive single parent to a boy between the ages of three and four from the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.

Long revealed the adoption process should not take more than three months. Angelina Jolie filed for the adoption in the US and her application was approved by Long's department office last week.

It will now be sent to officials in Ho Chi Minh City, who will also review it.

US meanwhile reports the latest addition to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's family may be moving into the couple's $3.5 million New Orleans mansion sooner than you think.

The A list actress won't be given any preferential treatment.

"[angelina jolie] will have to follow procedure like any other American," Vu Duc Long, head of the Ministry of Justice for Vietnam, tells Us.

Still, it's not out of the ordinary to speed up the adoption process when celebs are involved, à la Madonna's scandal with baby David Banda in October.

And there may be an added incentive to rush things along.

"Angelina Jolie promised to give $2 million to the Tam Binh orphanage on the very day angelina jolie receives the child," a Vietnamese insider tells Us. Of note: The actual adoption fee is only about $125.

Sources close to Angelina Jolie says there are still a few more steps before welcoming a new family member. "It's wonderful that people are excited about it," says the friend. "But she is only at the beginning of a very comprehensive and detailed process

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made a surprise visit to the Tam Binh orphanage at Thanks giving to give presents to the children.

Angelina Jolie said: "It would be good to balance the races so there's another African person in the house for Z and another Asian person in the house for Mad."

Angelina Jolie's adoption of a Vietnamese boy breaks Vietnam law

2007-03-08T06:46:00.000-08:00

The 'Good Shepherd' star filed papers with Vietnamese and US officials to
become the child's guardian as a single parent last week.

Under Vietnamese law single parents who are co-habiting cannot adopt.
International adoption official Tatiana Beams said: "This is a clear
contradiction of Vietnamese law, and such situations would not be allowed
for other couples."
Most co-habiting couples who try to adopt as a single parent are either
turned away from agencies or face difficulties."The US department dealing with the matter insists it abides by Vietnamese
rules when it comes to adopting from the country, but has not opposed
Angelina's action.

The 31-year-old star filed for adoption as a single parent, even though her
boyfriend, Brad Pitt, has become the adoptive father of her five-year-old
Cambodian son Maddox and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara.
The family, who also have a ten-month-old biological daughter Shiloh
together, live together in New Orleans. angelina jolie hot wallpaper

"I am very happy to learn about this and hope they will receive permission from the [Vietnamese] authorities regarding the adoption. It proves that they love the country and the people of Vietnam."

Trung said the ministry would consider the application and, if approved, it would send it to the people's committee of Ho Chi Minh City.

"We will only start working on the adoption with their acceptance," he said.

When angelina jolie and pitt brad visited Vietnam's largest city last November, they were photographed riding a motorcycle around town and visiting local markets.

Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie has filed legal papers in Vietnam to adopt for the third time, an adoption official has confirmed.

'The Good Shepherd' Coming to DVD in April

2007-03-01T09:36:00.000-08:00

Oscar winners Matt Damon ("The Departed," "The Bourne Supremacy"), Angelina Jolie ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "Girl Interrupted") and Robert De Niro ("Raging Bull," "Meet the Fockers") star in "The Good Shepherd," coming to DVD April 3 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Angelina Jolie Pic, Angelina Jolie Tattoo, angelina jolie tattoo pic

A tale of secrets, deception and murder played out at the height of the Cold War, "The Good Shepherd" reveals the untold story of the birth of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The supporting cast includes Oscar winners William Hurt, Joe Pesci and Timothy Hutton as well as Alec Baldwin, Billy Crudup, John Turturro and Sir Michael Gambon.

Directed by De Niro from a script by Academy Award-winning writer Eric Roth ("Forrest Gump"), "The Good Shepherd" takes audiences deep into the dark world of international intelligence and espionage. The DVD features more than 15 minutes of deleted scenes that heighten the film's suspense.

In "The Good Shepherd," Damon is Edward Wilson, a man whose loyalty to his country compromises his commitment to everything else, including his wife, Clover (Angelina Jolie) and son Edward, Jr. (Eddie Redmayne). After being recruited to work for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) by General Sullivan (Robert De Niro) during WWII, Wilson goes on to become one of the founding operatives of the CIA. Enmeshed in a secret world of deception and murder, and locked into a battle of wits with his Soviet counterpart, Wilson's dedication to his job and youthful idealism are slowly eroded by his growing suspicion of the people around him.

The Final Cut - Angelina Jolie

2007-02-27T03:20:00.001-08:00

Cataclysmically maligned upon its release in 2004, Alexander - whether it deserved it or not - became the first candidate for the decade’s equivalent of Ishtar. It was viewer unfriendly, overly convoluted, and hard to get through. It was instantly dismissed and critically abused. It was director and co-writer Oliver Stone’s epic telling of the life of Alexander the Great, but so complex is his story, so varied the influences on the empire builder’s life, that when the film was edited into a practical theatrical runtime, it seemed incomplete and inaccessible.

Alexander’s story is dictated to a scribe by Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins), a former general of Alexander’s vast armies and now a sitting Egyptian pharaoh. We learn of Alexander’s childhood. He’s encouraged by his ambitious mother, Olympias (Angelina Jolie in a role more suited to an older actress) and diminished by his dismissive father, Macedonian King Philip (Val Kilmer). We trace the influences on his development and watch Alexander (Colin Farrell in a remarkably unconvincing blonde wig) as a young adult lead a military sweep across the Middle East and beyond. We learn of his bisexuality and his generosity with defeated enemies willing to pledge and maintain allegiance. It is a cradle to grave epic that cried out for a more complete cut to achieve cohesion, and to help us understand the man more fully.

Stone tried once before to re-edit the film into a more satisfying form when he created the director’s cut for the 2005 DVD release. But that 167-minute version was actually eight minutes shorter than the theatrical release. The flow had been improved, but the subtext and clarity still hadn’t been achieved fully. To paraphrase Mike’s reaction at the time, “No, it’s not the kind of movie that those with distinct tastes will be able to stomach, and no, those who want their historical epics to come with the same old alternating history lesson and set piece structure will never make it past the half-hour mark, but for those interested in seeing a big-ass Hollywood movie made in a sometimes unsuccessful, always captivating way, Alexander is your ticket. And even if you think I’m full of hot air, consider this: it’s nowhere near as bad as you heard it was.”

Despite the critical drubbing the film received upon its theatrical release, it managed to earn $167 million at the box office worldwide and previous DVD releases sold nearly three and a half million units. That motivated Warner Home Video to give the director, who must have been a bit obsessed with the film, the opportunity to edit it once more and create the definitive version. Says Stone, “Over the last two years I have been able to sort out some of the unanswered questions about this highly complicated and passionate monarch -- questions I failed to answer dramatically enough. This film represents my complete and last version, as it will contain all the essential footage we shot. I don’t know how many filmmakers have managed to make three versions of the same film, but I have been fortunate to have the opportunity because of the success of video and DVD sales in the world, and I felt if I didn’t do it now, with the energy and memory I still have for the subject, it would never quite be the same again. For me, this is the complete Alexander, the clearest interpretation I can offer.”

The film now runs a whopping 214 minutes and it’s spread across two discs. An intermission, similar those found during road show presentations of epic films like Lawrence of Arabia and 2001: A Space Odyssey, ends the first disc at about the two hour mark. It’s a logical break and most welcome, although I fully expect this extended film to fit within the confines of either one HD DVD or Blu-ray Disc when it’s released in HD later this year. The film’s structure still shifts back and forth in time, but the non-linearity is thematic, linking events, influences, and historical background.

I did not see the film in either of its two previous forms, but for a reviewer, that may be an advantage. I was not burdened with previous impressions or expectations. I was simply free to react to Stone’s creativity. So I may not be able to answer the question of whether or not Stone succeeded in improving the film. What I can say is that I found the film to be a worthy epic, entertaining speculation on the life of an iconic historical figure. Many of the deficiencies cited in previous cuts have been resolved. Alexander’s influences and motivations are clearer. His bisexuality is addressed more specifically without being exploitative. I cannot know how thoroughly previous version explored disaffection during his brutal and costly campaign of conquest that lasted nearly a decade, but this version makes clear Alexander’s tortured psyche and its effect on his generals.

Stone has chosen to make major structural changes as well. By beginning at the end and then taking the audience through the events that led to that end must be more poignant than found in the former cuts. But a 214-minute investment is substantial, so as I watched, I was always somewhat aware of a need to be sufficiently observant to spot sequences that could be excised or trimmed without having an impact on the final cut. And while I felt that some of the sequences could be considered a little self-indulgent, I really never found myself becoming impatient. This may not be a great film, but it is certainly a good film.

The Video: How Does The Disc Look?

The film’s 2.35:1 aspect ration is presented in an excellent anamorphic transfer. The disc contains no supplements whatsoever. There is only one audio track. There are only English subtitles and Closed Captions. So virtually all the bit budget on the two double-sided discs could be dedicated to the video. As a consequence, typical MPEG-2 artifacts have been greatly suppressed or eliminated. Halos are virtually nonexistent. Those that are visible are extremely subtle and never intrude. I didn’t notice any mosquito noise. And only in highly dynamic scenes that contained very high visual density of many small objects did I seem to notice some subtle macroblocking. Color reproduction is excellent, from the bright red armor adornments to the dramatically colorful Babylon, I was never disappointed. Flesh tones and Angelina Jolie’s mesmerizing eyes have hues that are very natural. The video dynamic range is quite good. I saw no white crush, but I cannot say the same about the other end of the video. Black levels do not reach down to the darkness of the letterbox bars. The deepest black is sometimes an exceptionally dark blue; sometimes black is an exceptionally dark brown. In either case, the transfer (or perhaps the original film - I cannot say) suffers from black crush that frequently masks shadow detail. For example, when Alexander is wrestling with his voluptuous nude bride, Roxane (Rosario Dawson), her hair becomes an amorphous black blob; all texture and detail are gone. Regardless, this is a much better than average transfer that should satisfy the demanding viewer.

The Audio: How Does The Disc Sound?

The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is a bit bipolar. Most of the time, the mix is very front-centric, focusing the viewer’s attention on the dialog. But during the battles or during a forced march through jungle or forest, the mix opens up and envelops the viewer. I did not notice any sounds emanating from my center surround, so I’m forced to assume that EX decoding will neither help nor hinder. This may have been before the age of gunpowder and explosives, but that doesn’t preclude a satisfying bottom end. The footfalls of elephants in the Indian jungle or the hooves of horses galloping across the desert reach deep into the bass region. I did not care for the score by Vangelis; I felt it to have insufficient gravitas and dramatic punch for such an epic story. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the musical presentation, either. But the spoken word remains crystal clear throughout.

There is no alternative language track and the only optional subtitles are in English. You’ll also find English Closed Captions.

Supplements: What Goodies Are There?

Oliver Stone spends a few minutes explaining his reworking the film in an optional introduction. That is the only supplement on this 2-disc set. Perhaps Warner Home Video and Stone believe that the Final Cut should be a companion to the more feature-rich Extended Edition release.

The 214-minute film is organized into forty-seven chapters.

Exclusive DVD-ROM Features: What happens when you pop the disc into your PC?

None are included on this disc.

Final Thoughts

Alexander has immerged in a new form with what I have to assume is higher entertainment value. Readily available for under $19, it’s a very good value for those who have not yet purchased a previously released DVD. But for those who have, you should be a fan of the film or an admirer of the director to consider the investment. For all, if you do pick up the discs, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Having it all the Angelina Jolie way

2007-02-26T07:46:00.000-08:00

Having it all the Angelina Jolie way

Angelina Jolie plays a long-suffering wife trapped in a loveless marriage with a CIA agent in new drama The Good Shepherd, opening on February 23. She explains why she and Brad Pitt are more focused on adding to their family than getting married.

It was the worst kept secret on the planet, but now that angelina jolie and brad pitt have come clean about their relationship, the once-elusive star is positively shouting it from the rooftops.

The besotted actress insists the affair didn't start while they were shooting their movie Mr And Mrs Smith, and is adamant that Brad Pitt had already split from ex-wife Jennifer Aniston before they got together.

But she admits there was a special bond from the moment angelina jolie met the hunky actor.

"I got a good feeling about Brad Pitt straight away," angelina jolie says blushing. "But I never expected to become involved with him. I was happy as a single mother, but we stayed good friends after filming. I think we knew we f elt something for each other."

The pair are now inseparable and have sealed their love with the birth of their baby daughter, Shiloh, born last year. Brad has also become a hands-on dad to angelina jolie's adopted children, Maddox, five, and Zahara, two.

Angelina jolie can't contain her joy that they are now one big, happy family.

"Brad is a wonderful father," she beams. "Raising kids is hard but it's also a great joy and it's just wonderful to have somebody to support you through. We definitely want more."

It's an enviable domestic set-up. Not only are brad pitt and angelina jolie probably one of the most beautiful couples in movie history, they're also one of the most successful.

Brad, 43, is currently winning rave reviews for his latest movie Babel, while brad pitt and angelina jolie has notched up box office hits such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Alexander. She's also bagged herself an Oscar for her 1999 movie Girl, Interrupted.

Yet despite her on-screen success, it's clear there's only one role the modest star really values - motherhood. The mere mention of her brood brings a sparkle to the famous feline eyes.

"Motherhood is everything and more I expected it to be," brad pitt and angelina jolie enthuses. "I love being a mum. We definitely want more kids. Brad pitt always wanted a big family too, and adopting more children is part of our plan, too."

The actress says being a mum not only dictates how much she works these days, but also her movie choices.

That's why angelina jolie agreed to take on her latest film role - a seemingly dramatic departure from the usual feisty, independent heroines we are used to seeing her play.

In The Good Shepherd, directed by Robert De Niro, angelina jolie plays Clover, the subservient wife of one of the first CIA agents (Matt Damon), who can only stand back and watch as his work destroys their family.

However, the star says it was Clover's love for her son that convinced her she'd be able to take on such a challenging role.

"It was her commitment to him and the fear that he would end up involved in CIA work, too - this dangerous world - which was the one thing that kept me grounded to her character. There was so much about her that I didn't identify with, but I could really identify with her protective feelings as a mum," explains the 31-year old star, who recently lost her own mother to cancer.

Angelina also says she relished the chance to play a rejected and unloved wife - something the stunning beauty has probably never experienced in reality.

"I like the fact there were many things about her that were broken. I don't normally get to play that part," she smiles. "She is very vulnerable and broken. She is affected by all the negative things about the world. She is married to it, and a victim of being around nothing honest; being shut down as a woman, limited as a woman."

You couldn't say the same for blissfully loved-up angelina jolie, but the star insists angelina jolie's in no hurry to walk down the aisle again.

"It's not something we feel the need to do and we've never really discussed it too much, because we don't think there's anything missing," says the actress, who has been married twice before, to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

And despite having it all - fame, beauty, wealth and success - this is clearly one star who seems to be genuinely uncomfortable with celebrity status, making a concerted effort to avoid it at all costs.

"I make a point of not letting it change the way I live my life," she says of her fame. "I plan things so that I've got quality of life that's private and nice for the kids. We just don't let it affect us."

The star also puts her money where her mouth is. Angelina jolie's famed as much for her charitable work around the globe as for angelina jolie screen success, and says that's where her true motivation lies.

"I will continue to work with refugees and will never shift my focus from them because that's where my heart lies," angelina jolie says simply.

"We've just come back from Cambodia. We're supporting a huge area of protected forest for many, many villagers. It's a huge project but I'm learning so much.

"Brad pitt has also been working in New Orleans with the victims of Hurricane Katrina and we want to do something in Ethiopia, Zahara's birthplace - maybe support an orphanage there. We hear about something that's going on and we just want to get involved."

Not that the talented star is about to give up her acting career for good. Angelina jolie's currently working on a big screen adaptation of Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged and is rumoured to be lined up to star in Sin City 2.

But for now the contented star has plenty on her plate, what with saving the world, being a devoted mum of three and one half of Hollywood's most golden couple.

"I'm in a very peaceful place in my life right now," angelina jolie says with a euphoric smile. "I do wake up in the morning and realise I have a very fortunate life."

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt to adopt again?

2007-02-24T04:02:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are to adopt a Vietnamese boy, it has been claimed.

The couple - who have three children, adopted five-year-old son Maddox and two-year-old daughter Zahara, and their nine-month-old daughter together Shiloh - are reported to have filed adoption papers.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have filed papers with the US Citizenship and Immigration services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City."

The couple visited the orphanage together in November and Angelina Jolie returned alone last month.

The Good Shepherd actress has made no secret of her desire to adopt children from all over the world.

Angelina Jolie recently said: "If we're going to have ten kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young."

Angelina Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia. Brad became joint guardian of the children when he and Angelina Jolie's relationship became serious.

Hot Angelina Jolie's grieving weight loss

2007-02-22T22:37:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie has stopped eating in the wake of her mother's death.

The 31-year-old star is struggling to come to terms with losing her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, to cancer last month, and her weight has reportedly dropped to just 109 pounds.

Angelina Jolie's grief has deepened since moving to New Orleans with her partner Brad Pitt and their three children, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh. advertisement

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Angelina Jolie isn't eating. Hot Angelina Jolie is very lonely and desperate to make new friends."

In an effort to get over Marcheline's death, 'The Good Shepherd' actress has been flying out childhood friends to New Orleans.

The source added: "Pitt Brad has been worried about angelina jolie day and night. Angelina jolie has been under so much stress, and Pitt Brad is trying to be understanding."

Angelina jolie and brad Pitt, 43, were by Marcheline's bedside when she finally lost her battle to ovarian cancer aged just 56.

HATHAWAY INSPIRED BY Angelina Jolie

2007-02-21T08:54:00.000-08:00

Actress ANNE HATHAWAY has credited ANGELINA JOLIE with transforming her life and Hollywood career. THE PRINCESS DIARIES star insists she was insecure before meeting the GIRL, INTERRUPTED actress, but soon changed her outlook on life after Angelina Jolie urged her to "stop being silly".

She says, "I just love Angelina Jolie's fearlessness, Angelina Jolie provocativeness. Before I met Angelina Jolie, I was in this mindset where everybody hated me, and I hated me, and everything was too much. "Angelina Jolie made me see how silly I was, how I couldn't just sit on my ass."

Billy Bob and Angelina Jolie Still Talk, Share Hemoglobin

2007-02-18T04:19:00.001-08:00

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie still keep in touch , which is nice. Didn't he exit the picture when she started her own United Nations?

Angelina Jolie marriage to Billy Bob Thornton crashed within months of her adopting son Maddox. But that hasn't stopped Billy Bob and Angelina from staying in contact. "Angie and I talk all the time," Billy Bob says. "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." In fact, Billy Bob often finds himself in the odd position of having to defend his ex-wife. "It always ticks me off when people talk bad about Angie."

I always liked those crazy kids together. It was such a good example of "this is my old man, Billy Bob. He takes good care of me, and when Ima through dancin' on the pole down at Chixx, he picks me up in his truck and we go shootin' bottles in the VFW parking lot."

To give credit where credit is due, they had the best red carpet interview I have ever seen in my life. It was the premiere for "Gone In Sixty Seconds", and some vapid bitch was interviewing all the stars by asking "what's the wildest thing you've ever done in a car?" So Billy is standing there, with Angelina basically kneeling between his legs like a pet and only rising once in awhile to nibble his ear because she rolled cat-like and needy and silent in those days.

And he gets asked that question, and he states - "Wildest thing I've ever done in car? Well, we f*cked in the car on the way over..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Tremendous! The reporter didn't know what to say, only to pray there was a delay button. I don't care that he beat his wife before that with his Oscar, he rocked from that day forward with me.

Hollywood's Hottest Sweethearts - Angelina Jolie

2007-02-15T04:26:00.000-08:00

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie - After anxiously waiting for the two singularly hottest Hollywood actors to finally admit they were together, we find the reality of their romance slightly disappointing.

A year ago Brangelina might have been a shoo-in for Hollywood's hottest couple, but as the couple's number of houses and children grows, is this couple's chemistry going the way of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" Or are they still (both) in your fantasies?

No, we don’t mean Jennifer Aniston should hide her next boyfriend from this actress.

And orphans from other nations probably shouldn’t make plans to move in with Jordana Brewster just yet.

But the newly engaged actress does have something in common with Angelina Jolie and fans around the television world will soon find out what it is:

Brewster will be reprising Angelina Jolie’s role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith for an upcoming series.

That movie, of course, is where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt grew quite close.

So while no male co-star has been named yet, his significant other may wish to keep an eye on how he and Brewster interact.

There’s just something about playing married hit men that draw actors close to one another.

The same goes for big breasts.

The New Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

2007-02-11T06:05:00.000-08:00

They were a rumored couple while filming the wild scenes during the blockbuster action hit 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began falling in love while filming the movie, and apparently were very competitive during the training of the scenes as well. But it is time for the pair to move on - there's a new Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - or at least a new Mr. and Mrs. Smith coming to a small screen near you.

The New Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

Pitt and Jolie have been replaced for the television version of the big-budget film by Martin Henderson and Jordana Brewster.

***

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ABC adaptation – Henderson's first American television project – will be a pilot for a possible series. It was announced last week that Brewster has landed the coveted role of Mrs. Smith. The sexy star will take over where Angelina Jolie left off when the spy versus spy drama hits TV in America next year.

Now the Australian press is claiming that Mrs. Smith has a mate. Kiwi actor Martin Henderson, who began his career on New Zealand television, is to step into the role Brad Pitt made famous in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

***

His New Zealand manager Karen Kay said the Mr. and Mrs. Smith pilot was "the most talked about" new television show in the United States. "It's a fantastic opportunity. Since he first walked into my office when he was 19 years old I knew he would be an international star."

Both have some very big shoes to fill, and it will be interesting to see if the television version can excite American audiences.

Angelina Jolie's Children's Charity Still MIA

2007-02-10T09:32:00.000-08:00

Nearly 17 months after the orphan-rescuing actress-slash-UN envoy announced a deal to create a new children's charity with St. John, the project in question is still little more than a kindly notion. Nobody would call Angelina Jolie uncharitable, but somehow Angelina Jolie good deeds never seem to keep pace with her promises.

In September 2005, luxury apparel maker St. John hired Angelina Jolie Hot as its new spokesmodel. As part of the arrangement, the company agreed to create a foundation benefiting
children's causes, which Angelina Jolie was to oversee. Though no timetable was set, a St. John spokeswoman assured Radar in September that an announcement about the fund's structure and beneficiaries would be announced "definitely before the end of the year."

Last week, however, that same Angelina Jolie's spokeswoman said, "The charity hasn't been
formed yet at all." After promising to look into the matter, Angelina Jolie never called back. Nor did Angelina Jolie's manager, Geyer Kosinski.

Of course, Angelina Jolie has had a busy year and a half, starring in The Good Shepherd and the upcoming A Mighty Heart, about murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, along with giving birth to Shiloh Nouvel Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt, her daughter with pseudo-husband, Brad Pitt.

Maybe Angelina Jolie needs a little prodding to remind her of her commitments? After all, it worked last time.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Buy Home in Berlin

2007-02-08T09:13:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have taken a step closer to moving to Europe permanently by buying an apartment in Berlin, Germany. The couple have been regular visitors to the German capital, and have now taken ownership of a luxury 600 square metre (6,500 square foot) attic flat in what used to be East Berlin, according to the German edition of Vanity Fair. The GIRL, INTERRUPTED star - who already has homes in the US and an apartment in Paris, France, with Brad Pitt - wants her adopted children MADDOX and ZAHARA and her biological daughter SHILOH to grow up outside the Hollywood bubble. Pitt is good friends with German architects LARS KRUECKEBERG, WOLFRAM PUTZ and THOMAS WILLEMEIT, who designed his house in Los Angeles.

NATIVE AMERICAN ACTIVIST'S LIFE STORY RELEASED TO HONOUR JOLIE'S MOTHER

2007-02-07T07:26:00.000-08:00

The documentary ANGELINA JOLIE's late mother MARCHELINE BERTRAND executive produced before her death last month (JAN07) is to be rush released on DVD as a tribute to the actress. TRUDELL follows the lifestory of Native American poet and activist JOHN TRUDELL, who famously burned an American Flag on the steps of the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, while protesting the US government's policy on American Indians in 1979. Following the protest, Trudell's pregnant wife and three children were killed in a suspicious arson fire on a Nevada reservation.

The activist then spent the next four years driving across America in a car given to him by his friend and fellow activist JACKSON BROWNE, honing his craft as a poet. He released a protest album with Browne in 1983. The film, which won acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, features interviews and tributes from VAL KILMER, ROBERT REDFORD and KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, among others. Meanwhile, Jolie, who is also credited as an executive producer on the film, was so touched by Trudell's story she agreed to help produce his current album, BONE DAYS.

Angelina Jolie Promised Dying Mother She Would Wed Brad Pitt

2007-02-06T03:48:00.000-08:00

Hollywood vamp and all-around do-gooder Angelina Jolie has allegedly vowed to marry boyfriend Brad Pitt, after making a promise to her dying mother.

The Mr And Mrs Smith stars were both at Marcheline Bertrand's bedside when she lost her seven-year battle with ovarian cancer last month (27Jan07) at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Angelina Jolie is reported to have made the pledge hours before her beloved mother's passing, sparking speculation of a marriage within months.

A source close to the family tells British newspaper the Sunday Express, "Marcheline held Angelina Jolie's hand and told her, 'You marry that man. He's an angel sent to look after you.'

"Marcheline almost looked on him as a son. Angelina Jolie thought the world of him and was constantly nagging Angie to 'wed that man'."

The friend adds, "Brad has never stopped trying to push (Angelina Jolie) down the aisle but Angelina Jolie's always resisted, saying that it's the children who legally bind them together.

"Now Angelina Jolie'll make good on her death bed promise." (c) WENN

Angelina Jolie a Prime Paparazzi Target After Mother's Death

2007-02-04T22:45:00.000-08:00

The American media runs on a 15-minute news cycle online and with celebrity news it is even sometimes faster than that. It was one week ago that Angelina Jolie lost her mother and one would think that there would be a moratorium on the star getting the long lens treatment. Not so - in fact - Angelina Jolie may be prime paparazzi target number one.

Is it really that bad? A report from nightly entertainment news show Access Hollywood explains. Normally when someone you know loses someone they loved very much, you give them their space. Sadly, the same can’t be said of the paparazzi, who don’t seem to be too moved by the death of Angelina Jolie’s mother Marcheline Bertrand.

***

The report explains that a visibly annoyed Brad Pitt was mobbed by the paparazzi (and subsequently blinded by flash bulbs) as he left his office this week trying to get home to Angelina Jolie and his kids.

In fact, it was so bad, Brad Pitt needed a police escort to his motorcycle. According to the report online from AH the paparazzi siege began early in the day as photogs staked their claim outside of Brad’s office, yelling at policemen who were issuing them parking tickets.

Not only did they harass Brad’s police escort, but they even taunted Pitt as he left the building.

“Has Jon Voight tried to contact you guys yet?” one yelled. “Be careful on your bike now,” another said smugly.

I may be in the minority but - ick!

Angelina Jolie's mum last wish: Jolie should marry Pitt

2007-02-03T07:54:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand reportedly wanted Angelina Jolie to marry Brad Pitt.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's brother James Haven were at Marcheline's bedside when the 56 year old died at the weekend after a six year battle against ovarian cancer.

A source told Us Weekly: "Everybody cried. Marcheline told Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that she loved them. It was incredibly emotional."

"Marcheline approved of their relationship completely. And Brad loved her."

A second source told Star magazine that Marcheline "spent the most time with Angelina Jolie [and] she told Angelina Jolie that her dying wish was for [Angelina] to marry Brad."

"Marcheline adored Brad and believed he was an angel sent into their lives to take care of Angelina Jolie."

Star also reports that while it's not marriage, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt held a simple commitment ceremony on the beach during their Christmas holiday to Costa Rica: "They stood in the sand in their bare feet, looked into each others'eyes and promised to love each other forever and to be loving with their children for just as long."

The source added that they exchanged simple rings, which they wear on their right hands, to symbolise their relationship.

Mom's dying wish, a Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt wedding

2007-02-02T05:43:00.000-08:00

Before succumbing to her illness, Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand requested her to marry boyfriend Brad Pitt. Bertrand, 56, reportedly adored Pitt.

Angelina Jolie was by her mother's side at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre Jan 27 when the former actress faced the final hours of her seven-year battle with ovarian cancer. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's brother, actor James Haven, were also there.

'Bertrand was heavily medicated but she was conscious for a lot of time. She asked Brad Pitt to take care of Angelina Jolie and the kids (their adopted children Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and biological daughter Shiloh, 8 months). And she made a similar plea to her headstrong daughter,' reports hollywood.tv.

'She spent the most time with Angelina Jolie and her dying wish was for her to marry Brad Pitt. Even during her darkest days over the past months, Bertrand had urged Jolie to marry him. Bertrand adored Pitt and believed he was an angel sent into their lives to take care of her daughter,' the portal added.

It seems that despite her publicly vowing that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt would not marry, the actress may walk down the altar to fulfil her mother's last wish.

Mom Of Angelina Jolie Told Brad Pitt "I Love You" Before Death

2007-02-01T08:04:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, loved Brad Pitt. Bertrand, who died of cancer on Jan. 27 (07), felt at ease that her daughter Angelina found a 'good man' to take care of her.

On Saturday (Jan.27), 31-year-old Angelina Jolie and 43-year-old Brad stayed beside Bertrand at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center before her passing.

A friend of Jolie says: "Everybody cried."

"Marcheline told Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that she loved them. It was incredibly emotional."

Bertrand had truly grown to like Brad Pitt, especially compared to the other men Jolie has chosen for herself.

USWeekly reports: 'Shortly before the birth of daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt last May, Bertrand told Us, "I love Brad. He is wonderful. I am very, very happy and very excited for them." The Babel actor even accompanied Jolie on her visits to the Raffles L'Ermitage, Beverly Hills hotel where Bertrand lived in a suite.'

A source says, "Marcheline approved of their relationship completely. "

"And Brad Pitt loved her."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Prepare For Funeral

2007-01-31T05:20:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have begun preparations for Angelina's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away this past Saturday. The Sun UK reports that the couple had to abruptly leave New Orleans when Jolie received the news that her mother had taken a turn for the worse.

The Hollywood actress was spotted talking anxiously on her mobile phone at an arts centre in New Orleans on Friday, according to the British paper. She and boyfriend Brad Pitt immediately flew to LA. They arrived at around 4pm on Saturday and were at actress Marcheline's bedside until she died around 7.54pm.

Angelina and her mother were extremely close as she has been estranged from her father Jon Voight for years. A source said: "Angie was dreading this moment. She felt she had already lost her father - and now her mom too."

Angelina Jolie's Mother Dies

2007-01-30T00:33:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie is in mourning after her mother Marcheline Bertrand lost her battle with cancer on Saturday.

The former actress died Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In a statement released by Angelina Jolie Sunday, the star revealed she, her partner Brad Pitt and brother James Haven were at the hospital when Bertrand, 55, passed away.

Bertrand, who was partly of native American descent, appeared in movies like 'Lookin' To Get Out' and 'The Man Who Loved Women,' but gave up her acting career to raise her kids as a single mom, after divorcing their father, actor Jon Voight, in 1978.

She always stayed on the fringes of Hollywood and produced the star-studded documentary 'Trudell' in 2005.

Angelina Jolie confirmed her mother was battling ovarian cancer last month, but confessed she expected her to win her fight with the disease.

In a TV interview with CNN talk show host Larry King, the actress revealed her mother was "doing good," adding, "She has fought for six years and she's a remarkable woman, she's very, very strong and her spirit remains unbroken."

Angelina Jolie Visits Vietnam

2007-01-26T07:48:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie has taken time out from settling into her new home in New Orleans, Louisiana, to fly to Vietnam to promote economic development.

The actress traveled to the Asian country to attend a meeting on behalf of the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project (MJP), a charity formed to aid her five-year-old son's native country of Cambodia.

According to MJP executive director Stephan Bognar, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie met with officials from the International Finance Corporation's Mekong Private Sector Development Facility, a privately funded World Bank initiative that promotes economic development in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

The star is particularly interested in a project to help subsistence farmers grow and sell bamboo, a business that Bognar says could increase their monthly income from $25 to $300. Bamboo crops also filter toxins from water and help stem soil erosion.

Angelina Jolie Hot's partner, Brad Pitt, was unable to make the trip and stayed with the couple's kids in New Orleans, where he is currently filming 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.'

Angelina Jolie spends over $700 for a shower

2007-01-24T03:05:00.000-08:00

According to Star Magazine, Angelina Jolie and son Maddox Jolie-Brad Pitt rented a room at Santa Monica hotel, Shutters On the Beach, last Friday just to take a shower!

A source said, "Angelina Jolie said they only wanted the room for two hours — time enough for them both to take a shower. Angelina Jolie Pic was very sweet and seemed like a concerned mom. It was just very bizarre, when she and Brad own two houses here in Los Angeles, that she would need to spend that kind of money on a hotel room just so she and Maddox could shower."

Granted, it's a very nice bathroom, but that's one pricey shower! I hope they had a nice view! Rooms at the luxury hotel during this time start at $470 for a room without an ocean view and go all the way up to $1100 (for a presidential suite). They probably got a Full Ocean View King for $750.

New York Times reports on Atlas Shrugged Angelina Jolie Hot

Betsy Speicher’s CyberNet reports on an article about the Atlas Shrugged movie project:

BACK in the 1970s Albert S. Ruddy, the producer of “ The Godfather,” first approached Ayn Rand to make a movie of her novel “Atlas Shrugged.” But Rand, who had fled the Soviet Union and gone on to inspire capitalists and egoists everywhere, worried aloud, apparently in all seriousness, that the Soviets might try to take over Paramount to block the project.

“
I told her, ‘The Russians aren’t that desperate to wreck your book,’ ” Mr. Ruddy recalled in a recent interview.

Rand’s paranoia, as Mr. Ruddy remembers it, seems laughable. But perhaps it was merely misplaced. For so many people have tried and failed to turn the book she considered her masterpiece into a movie that it could easily strike a suspicious person as evidence of a nefarious collectivist conspiracy. Or at least of Hollywood’s mediocrity.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Return to Vietnam

2007-01-19T06:38:00.000-08:00

The golden couple of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has returned to Vietnam. Maybe Angelina Jolie wants to adopt a child from the Tam Binh Orphan Children Centre in HCM City, which the couple visited at the end of last year.

The couple arrived in HCM City on January 19. This is the second trip of Mr and Mrs Smith to Vietnam. The first one was made in 2006, when the couple unexpectedly arrived in HCM City from Cambodia and visited the Tam Binh Orphan Children Centre.

Nguyen Cong Khanh, Deputy Head of the International Adoption Department under the Ministry of Justice, said that the department had not received an application for adopting from the Hollywood couple. Under Vietnam’s laws, if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want to sponsor a child, they will have to follow the set procedures for adopting, like any other foreigners. He said that it takes 3-4 months to complete the procedures, but in some cases, it takes two months only.

“It is likely that the couple has just mentioned an adoption with the Tam Binh Centre through an organisation,” M Khanh said.

Now, Mr and Mrs Smith have three children, including one from Cambodia and one from Ethiopia. Their natural daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, is now eight-months old. In November 2006, when visiting the Tam Binh Centre as tourists, the couple promised to come back soon and bring more gifts.

On January 16, 2007, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Hot attended the Gold Globe awards ceremony in Los Angeles in the US. The international press has reported that the star couple have moved to live in New Orleans, which was hit by Katrina hurricane in August 2005. The two stars have many times stated that they want to adopt many more children from many nations.

Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston: Explosive Secret Meeting?

2007-01-18T06:44:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie is on record as wanting to meet with Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. Many celebrity observers believe that Angelina Jolie is a home wrecker, and Jolie likely doesn't take kindly to that assessment. However, her interview in Vogue basically describes a couple that were falling love on the set of Pitt and Jolie's blockbuster film Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Jennifer and Brad Pitt were still married at the time, so many thought that didn't really help her case. Now Star Magazine will report that the Brangelina/ Jen saga continues with a screaming headline 'Explosive Secret Meeting.'

***

Does that mean that Jolie and Jennifer are set for a showdown? Or did they have it already and that's why Angelina Jolie Hot Pic was so detached on the red carpet at the Globes?

Star describes it this way. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look happy and in love as they strolled down the red carpet on January 8 for the L.A. premiere for the new documentary on Sudan’s “Lost Boy”. Brad stopped for a moment to kiss a beaming Angelina Jolie on the head, the total opposite of the Brad who was seen in the spotlight with Jen.

The magazine reports, according to a source close to Aniston, Jen blames Angelina Jolie for her split with Brad and wonders exactly when the two really got together.

***

As mentioned earlier Angelina Jolie told Vogue she would agree to meet with Jen, so finally Jen will get her chance to have it out with her home wrecker. Jen may be in for a rude awakening, a source tells Star "(Brad) had one foot out the door when they met –if it hadn’t been her it would have been another women…she realizes Brad and Jen had serious problems...(he) has even admitted it.”

So was it Angelina Jolie that took the initiative and helped pull Brad out the door during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith? If a meeting ever takes place - would that even be discussed?

Jen carries herself well in public; she was a hit at the People's Choice Awards. Angelina Jolie Pic is still being panned for her behavior at the Golden Globes. But Aniston has always stated that she has moved on, would she ever agree to meet with Angelina Jolie?

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt move to New Orleans

2007-01-17T04:23:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES: Globe-trotting Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have moved to New Orleans and plan to send their three children to school there, Us Weekly magazine has reported.

"
We love it there," Angelina Jolie was quoted as saying in confirming the move at the Golden Globe awards ceremony in Los Angeles. "The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it."

Representatives for Brad Pitt, 43, and Angelina Jolie, 31, could not immediately be reached for comment.

But according to the story posted on the magazine's website, the couple's relocation to the flood-ravaged Louisiana city is at least partly in keeping with their off-screen devotion to various humanitarian causes around the world. They spent Christmas Day handing out presents to Colombian war refugees in Costa Rica.

According to Us Weekly, the movie star pair moved to the Big Easy on January 11 and have purchased a $US3.5 million, six-bed mansion in the city's French Quarter – the fourth house owned by the couple.

One diner at a Decatur Street restaurant told the magazine he saw Angelina Jolie quietly mixing with the locals the day after she and Brad Pitt moved to town.

Us Weekly cites unnamed sources as saying Angelina Jolie plans on keeping a low profile in her newly adopted home town, where Brad Pitt is currently on location shooting his latest film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

" Angelina Jolie's interested in befriending normal mums so she can do things with the kids," one source told the magazine, adding that the couple also hopes to raise awareness for the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast region.

"They think it is important to be there right now" and are already looking to get more involved in local charity work, the source said. According to Us Weekly, construction is set to start this month on 20 environment-friendly homes Pitt has jointly commissioned with the group Global Green USA.

Brad Pitt, currently starring in the globe-spanning drama Babel, and Angelina Jolie, an Oscar winner for her role in Girl, Interrupted, co-starred as married assassins hired to kill each other in the film Mr and Mrs Smith. According to Angelina Jolie, they began a romantic relationship after Brad Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston broke up in early 2005.

Angelina Jolie has said they have no plans to marry but are committed to raising their three children together.

Angelina Jolie adopted five-year-old son Maddox from Cambodia in 2002 and two-year-old daughter, Zahara, from Ethiopia, in 2005. Angelina Jolie gave birth last year in Namibia to her first biological child, a daughter fathered by Brad Pitt they named Shiloh.

Brad Pitt has also become the adoptive father of Maddox and Zahara.

Angelina Jolie Worried About a Jennifer Aniston & Brad Secret Meeting?

2007-01-16T01:59:00.000-08:00

It is being called an Angelina Jolie nightmare. A published report claims that the sexy new mom is still concerned that the unmarried father of her children Brad Pitt may be ready to take a meeting with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. According to a report from the National Enquirer not even a family vacation at a tropical island could sooth Jolie's nerves.

Angelina Jolie Hot Pic Worried About a Jennifer Aniston & Brad Secret Meeting?

The dream vacation turned into a nightmare," an insider told the magazine.

When Brad Pitt left India and flew to Los Angles to promote his critically acclaimed film 'Babel' a meeting with Jennifer was "in the back of Angelina's mind," the chatty insider continued. "Jennifer is the one thing about Brad that still gets under Angelina Jolie's skin."

Was that the reason Angelina Jolie spoke out in Vogue magazine and stated that she wished that she could meet with Jennifer?

Angelina Jolie briefly met Aniston on set of the action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith but insisted in the interview, "It wasn't a proper meeting. We've, liked, passed each other and said, 'Hi.' Shook hands. But not a real sit-down meeting. That would be her decision and I would welcome it."

Angelina Jolie has always insisted that she didn't bust up the golden couple. Very few celebrity watchers buy that, especially after Jolie's admission that the pair fell in love while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Is Angelina Jolie really that concerned that the tables could be turned?

Angelina Jolie Beau Brad Pitt Looks After Japanese Actress

2007-01-16T01:56:00.000-08:00

Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi credits her "Babel" cast mates -- particularly Brad Pitt -- and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for helping her through the storm of international attention that's been coming her way since the feature debuted at the Cannes Film Festival.

It was at Cannes, Angelina Jolie tells us by way of a translator, that Angelina Jolie saw the completed film for the first time, met the rest of the actors for the first time -- and walked the red carpet for the first time: "Everything at the Cannes Film Festival was completely new."

As the cameras flashed and the media called out, Angelina Jolie says she kept saying, "What's going on?" The rest of the "Babel" team looked after her, however, especially Pitt. "He was very concerned that Rinko didn't know what to do. He'd take her hand and tell her, 'Follow me,' and very much had that kind attitude," relates the translator.

Rinko, who plays the deaf teenager in the feature, says Angelina Jolie's been away from home now for nearly a year. Angelina Jolie is being besieged by designers and others wanting to outfit her as the awards season continues. As for how she feels about that, she says she "just has to be thankful. The whole experience has been this huge beautiful gift to her that she gets to share with Alejandro."

The actress Angelina Jolie, who has two new features soon to open back in Japan, was a year in the casting process for "Babel," never saw the full script of the multi-story film, and only saw her complete section shortly before filming it. She found that an "exciting" way to work, she says, adding that she was "stunned" by the final product. "She knew it was going to be amazing," paraphrases her translator, "but wasn't ready for how grand it was."

CRAIG FERGUSON BRACES FOR 'RISKY' LIVE SHOW

"The Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson admits doing a live, post-Super Bowl show on CBS Feb. 4 will be "a little risky, but you only live once.

"The plan is this: I will leave Friday night after that night's show, fly to Miami, panic like crazy, do a show after the game and then rush back to do Monday night's show," says Ferguson, who'll open with a monologue about the big game, then go on to talk to players and football-crazed celebrities, including Billy Bob Thornton.

It's the latest piece of extra business for the Glasgow, Scotland-born actor/director/screenwriter, whose first novel, "Between the Bridge and the River," garnered acclaim last year -- and who also just launched his Green Mountain West production company and is developing series for yet-to-be-named young talents.

"I am developing shows already, working with a very good executive, Tracey Pakosta, who used to be a vice president at the WB," he says. "The environment at CBS with Les Moonves creates a lot of opportunities, and I think anyone would take advantage of that." Still, asked if he's a driven man, Ferguson says, "I think so, a little bit."

One place Ferguson has no ambitions, however, is the 11:30 timeslot currently occupied by David Letterman. He's already put his vote in for "The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart to take over when Letterman steps down. "I think he's earned it. I think he's good at it. I'm happy in the timeslot I have," he explains. "You get away with a lot more at that time of night, believe me."

DOING HER BIT:

"What About Brian?" actress Krista Allen says the T-shirt line she started as a hobby has turned into a burgeoning hot business thanks to the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan wearing her tees, which feature "fun and kitschy phrases like 'You were never my boyfriend' and 'Don't be mad at me when I'm mad at you.'

"The clothing line is called 'Superexcellent by Krista Allen,' and two of my dearest longtime friends, Jon Lovitz and David Spade, both invested in the company," Angelina Jolie reports. Allen says the line is not just about making money. "It's put me in a position to bring awareness to a lot of different charities I'm involved with. It allows me to have a sense of social responsibility as an individual, and that's the way it should be. Being able to give back is really wonderful." Angelina Jolie explains, "All the profits go to help Invisible Children in Uganda. The rebels come into the camps at night and take these kids from 8 to 16 away from their families. They turn them into soldiers and make them kill their families. Many of the children have escaped and they're orphans. They're called 'night walkers' because they walk all night or sleep on top of each other in little basements so they don't get captured again. Invisible Children provides shelter and schools and clothing for them." Allen also has a line of shirts to benefit those affected by the genocide taking place in Darfur.

Angelina Jolie Slams Claims She Criticized Madonna

2007-01-14T07:11:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie Hot Pictures has slammed claims she criticised pop star Madonna for adopting a child from Malawi and insists she was misquoted.

The Mr & Mrs Smith star made comments in a French magazine which appeared to be critical of the singer's efforts to adopt from the African nation where there are no clear legal procedures.

Angelina Jolie Hot Pictures explains, "The article included many falsehoods. I said many positive things that were omitted.
"I feel we must focus on the present and I encourage everyone to be supportive so that every child can adjust nicely to their new home."

Angelina Jolie was quoted in Gala magazine saying of Madonna's efforts to adopt one-year-old David Banda, "Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where (David) was born. It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal."

The actress Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt have two adopted children, Maddox, five, and Zahara, two, and she claims she has sympathy for the singer, saying, "I have been horrified by the attacks she's been subjected to." (c) WENN

Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie named "Family of the Year"Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie named "Family of the Year"

2007-01-05T04:50:00.000-08:00

BEIJING, Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie Hot and Brad Pitt may not be marrying each other anytime soon, but People magazine has named the duo and their three kids "Family of the Year."

The globe-trotting couple, who met on the set of their movie Mr and Mrs Smith, were awarded the accolade by the magazine.

Angelina, 31, also revealed to the magazine that she "is the disciplinarian" of the two when it comes to their children - Maddox, five, 23-month-old Zahara and Shiloh Nouvel, who was born in May.

"Brad Pitt can be, but if Z doesn't get the bottle from me, she'll quickly run to daddy," E Canada quoted her as saying.

Angelina Jolie also said that she and Brad Pitt, 43, are very proud parents.

"Somebody said to us recently that they were happy kids, and we talked about how much that meant to us to hear. And they're good kids. God knows how we managed to do that - but they're good kids," she said.

Asked which child ran the roost, the Tomb Raider star replied it was Zahara.

"I bet if you asked Brad Pitt, he'd say Zahara. Mad is very smart, but he's got a certain sense of calm. Zahara is possible the funniest person I've ever met in my life. So dramatic and creative, and loud and charming. Angelina Jolie's definitely the biggest personality in the house," she added.
