Angelina Jolie Adapting Syrian Baby

Bang — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:03:27 +0000

Angelina Jolie is set to adopt a baby from Syria.

The Oscar-winning actress, who already has three adopted children, as well as three biological ones, with partner Brad Pitt, has reportedly started the process to bring home a baby girl from the Asian country.

However, Brad is said to not be keen on the idea but an undeterred Angelina began the proceedings on her own.

A source said, “He has made it clear that six children are more than he can handle. The idea of one more seemed ludicrous, but Angie is determined to complete her rainbow family.”

A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalisation Service in Washington D.C. confirmed that “only Angelina’s name was on the adoption papers.”

Angelina adopted her eldest son Maddox, now eight, from Cambodia in 2001, while she was still married to second husband Billy Bob Thornton, but was legally his only parent.

After splitting from Billy, she went on to adopt Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005 and soon after getting together with Brad, he legally became the father of both children.

The couple then had their first biological child, Shiloh, in May 2006 before adopting Pax, now five, from Vietnam in March 2007.

They then became the proud parents of twins, Knox and Vivienne, who were born in July 2008.

Angelina Jolie’s Semi-Homemade Birthday Cake

Bang — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:44:25 +0000

Angelina Jolie made her son’s birthday cake with help from a TV show.

The ‘Changeling’ star used a cult cookery show’s recipe to put together a baked treat for her eldest son, eight-year-old Maddox.

Sandra Lee, host of the Food Network’s ‘Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee’, said, “I was really surprised when her friend let me know she made my No Bake birthday cake. She’s a Semi-Homemade mommy just like the rest of us!”

Angelina, who is in talks to star in a biopic of the Gucci fashion house, used the time-saving recipe for Maddox’s birthday in August.

The cake is made from a putting pre-bought sponge cakes together and adding cupcakes and cookies.

Sandra added, “I’m very proud not just that she made my cake but that someone of her stature isn’t delegating these tasks to other people.”

Angelina, 34, raises five other children – son Pax, five, daughter Zahara, four, three-year-old daughter Shiloh and 15-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne – with her partner Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt has spent £50,000 on a home for his children’s gerbils

The ‘Fight Club’ actor – who raises six kids, Maddox, eight, Pax, five, Zahara, four, Shiloh, three, and 13-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with partner Angelina Jolie – oversaw the construction and design of the project, which boasts tunnels, platforms, seesaws and mazes.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Brad pores over architectural journals like other people pore over newspapers. He had so much fun putting the run together with his kids Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax.

“It’s incredibly complex and cost a lot but Brad’s more than happy with any activity that can combine his two passions – his kids and architecture.”

The rodents – who will live at the family’s mansion in the South of France – were chosen by Maddox and Pax after their parents took them to a local pet store last week.

An onlooker said: “The boys were really keen to get the gerbils and it was Angelina who reached into the cage to pet them before a store worker got them out.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want their daughter Shiloh to be an actress

Bang — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:00:03 +0000

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are keen for the three-year-old tot to become a movie star and are even considering sending her to drama school when she is old enough so she can hone her acting skills.

A source said: “They’re thinking about enrolling her into a performing arts school. Shiloh is the most famous child in Hollywood and was the first baby to get a waxwork at Madame Tussauds. They think she could emulate their success.”

Shiloh – who appeared in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ alongside her father Brad – has apparently caught the acting bug and told her friends she wants to be just like her parents.

She reportedly said: “I want to do what mummy and daddy do.”

Although the couple – who raise another five children together – are keen for Shiloh to follow in their footsteps they don’t want her to start her career too young.

The source added to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Shiloh’s a mix of the two best-looking actors in the world – she was born to be a star. Brad and Angelina were a little worried about her interest in acting, however, they have vowed to let their kids pursue their dreams.”

Barack Obama, Angelina Jolie booted out of Second Life

Chris Greenhough — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:40:56 +0000

From next month, Second Life publisher Linden Labs is set to ban all celebrity avatars, with its new guidelines using Barack Obama and Angelina Jolie avatars as specific examples of content that will be dropped.

Also for the chop is First Lady Michelle Obama, pictured above draped over her husband’s virtual lap, and … well, every celebrity out there who doesn’t authorize their likeness to be used in Second Life. Real-world brands, cars, artwork, and copyrighted fictional characters (Darth Vader, for example) will be forbidden as well. That’s a helluva lot of prohibited content.

This move has likely come about because of a trademark lawsuit brought against Linden Labs. After stun gun manufacturer TASER, Inc. discovered a virtual copy of its weapon was being sold as content in Second Life, it planned to sue. The lawsuit was later dropped, but LL is clearly keen to cover its back. Hence, we can wave goodbye to Barack and Angie.

It sounds like a nightmare to moderate this stuff, and New World Notes predicts that enforcing the new guidelines may prove problematic:

“I would think avatar imitations of celebrities, especially political figures, would fall under the parody safe harbor of fair use. In the real world, you can still buy an unauthorized Barack Obama mask for Halloween. Not so in Second Life very soon…”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have sex in several secret places

Bang — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:04:27 +0000

The Hollywood couple, who raise six children together, keep the spark alive in their relationship by sneaking off to make love in their favourite ‘special’ spots.

Referring to Brad’s recent claims the pair have sex in a grotto behind a waterfall in his pool, Angelina said: “Yeah, well, we’ve got a few special places. You keep it going.”

Brad laughingly added: “It’s not true. We have far more comfortable places to go. There is an old Hollywood property just a few minutes away. It has a grotto there. The rumour is Jimi Hendrix spent some time there. That’s the story. I run with it.”

Angelina also admitted she was thrilled when Brad recently described her as his “soulmate”.

The 34-year-old screen beauty said: “That is very cool. Well, he’s mine. It is what it is.”

The couple appeared together on the red carpet of the Los Angeles premiere of Brad’s new film ‘Inglourious Basterds’, and Brad took the opportunity to dismiss speculation their relationship has hit a rocky patch.

The 45-year-old actor – whose ex-wife is Jennifer Aniston – said: “We’ve both been around long enough and have been in enough relationships to know what we want out of it, and to know when we’re wasting time.”

Angelina – who was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton – insisted she is so happy with Brad they are planning to expand their already large family again.

She said: “We will always want more children. I would love to, but we have a lot of kids to raise!”

Angelina Jolie’s daughter will only wear her older brother’s cast-offs

Bang — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:33:54 +0000

Angelina Jolie – who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt – has tried everything to persuade three-year-old Shiloh to wear other clothes, but she refuses to don anything that hasn’t belonged to Maddox, seven.

At the moment, the toddler can regularly be seen sporting a pair of Maddox’s old soccer boots.
She loves the shoes so much she even wears them to her ballet and tap dancing lessons.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: “Shiloh always wants to wear those shoes. She cries when Angelina tries to put anything else on her.”

It is not the first time Shiloh has fallen in love with an item of clothing. Last year, she wanted to wear a ballet tutu at all times, and was seen in it “for months”. Shiloh’s love of clothes doesn’t seem to be inherited from her mother.

Angelina recently revealed she doesn’t spend much time thinking about what
she will wear to red carpet events, and is more interested in whether a dress is comfortable than the impact it will have.

Angelina Jolie reportedly walked out on Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie reportedly walked out on Brad Pitt -The Hollywood couple – who raise six children together – allegedly had a huge row following their twins Knox and Vivienne’s first birthday party at their rented Los Angeles home last Sunday July 21.

According to sources, the 34-year-old beauty stormed out of the bash after collapsing on the floor in floods of tears and booked into a room at a luxury Beverly Hills hotel.

A source told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “Minutes after the argument, she got up, threw together a bag of clothes and ran to her car. She checked straight into a suite at the Raffles L’Ermitage hotel.”

The actress has reportedly remained at the hotel – where her late mother Marcheline Bertrand stayed until her death in 2007 – and is refusing to speak to the 45-year-old actor.

The source explained: “Angelina is refusing to take Brad’s calls – the only way he knew she was OK was because the nannies had seen her. They have been saying she’s always thrilled to see the kids, who have been visiting two at a time.”

Friends of the actress say Angelina is using her stay at the hotel to feel close to her mother, who lost her seven-year battle with ovarian cancer aged just 56.

One said: “Angelina stays in the room for hours on end. It’s as if she’s trying to feel Marcheline’s spirit. She’s lighting candles and thinking about her mother.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie want to make a sequel to ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’.

Bang — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 18:00:51 +0000

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – who met and fell in love on the set of the 2005 movie – are reportedly keen to film a follow-up as they think it will help put the passion back in their relationship.

A source close to Brad and Angelina – who raise six children together – said: “They’re hoping lightning will strike twice and they can re-spark the magnetism that captivated them five years ago.

“It’s no secret that relationship-wise, Brad and Angie are on the ropes. The stress of raising six kids and juggling two red-hot careers is wearing them down.”

Brad – who filmed ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston – has asked its screenwriter Simon Kinberg to write the sequel to the romantic action film.

The source added to National Enquirer magazine: “This time around the Smiths will have children, and the kids’ antics will be part of the story line.

“He’s hoping they’ll fall love all over again… to get their relationship back on track.”

Although Brad and Angelina have always denied their relationship started while the actor was still with Jennifer, the Oscar-winning beauty has admitted they fell for each other during filming.

Talking about the movie she wants her children to see when they’re older, 34-year-old Angelina said: “I definitely want the kids to see it when they’re older. Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love!”

Angelina Jolie wants to be President

Duncan Riley — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:00:32 +0000

Angelina Jolie is considering abandoning her acting career and following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan to the White House.

“Ange has admitted she’s getting bored with Hollywood. She said she’s now got her sights set on Washington,” a source told The Daily Express. “She is passionate about people’s rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position.”

“I would place a huge wager on her becoming the first female president in the next 20 years. When Ange sets her mind on something, she goes all out to do it….She’s very determined and gets very stirred by her UN work. She is well respected for her humanitarian work and I’m sure she would make as many waves if she moved fully into the political world.”

Angelina Jolie Collapses while shooting Movie Scene

Paul Short — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:27:03 +0000

Angelina Jolie has reportedly collapsed after shooting a scene for her upcoming movie, Salt. Sources say that Angelina Jolie was in a desperate bid to lose weight for the role, leaving her in a weakened state where she collapsed after shooting a particularly strenuous movie scene.

Angelina Jolie is currently shooting the thriller, Salt, in the US, where she plays the exposed Russian sleeper spy, Evelyn Salt.

A source close to the incident is quoted as saying:

“It all got too much for Angelina. She collapsed between takes, complaining of shortness of breath and dizzy spells. To be fair, it was after she’d filmed a strenuous scene in which she ran around the set, but it was still shocking to see her crumble.”

This is not the first time Angelina Jolie has collapsed or had other health problems. Back in February 2008 she collapsed on a plane in flight and in October 2007 she collapsed after downing Rum and Coke at a VIP party with then live-in boyfriend Brad Pitt.

Cameron Diaz is starting to look like Goldie Hawn, and that’s not a compliment

Duncan Riley — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:38:13 +0000

36 year old former model turned actress Cameron Diaz was pictured in New York this week looking rather interesting.

Clearly she wasn’t wearing any makeup, but her face is starting to go the way of Goldie Hawn, and that’s not a compliment. Fake tan, wrinkles (girlfriend needs a decent moisturizer), and a puffy face don’t offer an appealing package.

Still, even the good looking ones lose their looks with age. We’ll, some do, like Angelina Jolie, although even raising a tribe of children wasn’t as unkind to Jolie as age has been to Diaz. Do. Not. Want.

Angelina Jolie’s reaction to Jennifer Aniston at Oscars: all class

Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black presented the awards for best animated feature and animated short film at the Oscars last night, but it was who was in the front row that grabbed some attention.

Despite having nothing to do with the category, the camera focused in on Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie’s reaction to the former Mrs Brad Pitt: all class, well at least all smiles anyway. The tabloid fantasy of a showdown didn’t eventuate, and the coverage quickly returned to the stage.

Megan Fox Might Replace Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:05:42 +0000

Online buzz claims that Megan Fox might be replacing Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft– and I can definitely see where the rumors are coming from! Megan, who has already scored the title of FHM’s “Sexiest Woman in the World 2008″ and admitted to having a somewhat unhealthy obsession with Angelina, seems like a natural choice. Not only is Angelina looking awfully frail (anyone remember Lara Croft’s ridiculous thighs? oh… just me?), but she and Megan share the same coloring, pouty lips, and penchant for tattoos.

Hollyscoop comments that “London’s Metro newspaper says that Megan is a strong candidate for the role of Lara, and we’re sure fans would love to see this casting come to fruition. There has been no word from Megan’s camp, or the studio, but maybe this will at least get the ball rolling!”

Fox Fans out there, hang on! This seems like it could very well happen. . . even if it’s just a rumor right now.

Angelina Jolie Skinny at the SAGs: Anorexia, Illness or Terminal Disease

Duncan Riley — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:52:31 +0000

We first noticed Angelina Jolie’s weight loss January 9 when we noted that she looked gaunt and not great at the Critics Choice Awards. Jolie’s appearance at the SAG Awards though is even more scary: she’s looking a little like the Ethiopian kids she likes to adopt.

Jolie’s arms show her bones, and not an awful lot of flesh. Around her neck, her bones protrude, as they do one her back. Her face isn’t carrying any excess weight either.

Jolie has been skinny before, but this skinny? Bets are on: anorexia, illness or terminal disease. She looks anorexic, although on the same token bulimia isn’t impossible either.

Did Angelina Jolie Give Anne Hathaway a “Death Stare”– Twice?

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:29:08 +0000

Angelina Jolie just can’t catch a break! First it was her shocking appearance on the red carpet, and now people are buzzing that Angie was staring jealously at Anne Hathaway when she gave her acceptance speech onstage at the the Critics’ Choice Awards.

The drama is sort of nice after an overload of Perez’s non-stop “Saint Angie” stuff, but it’s up to you to decide whether or not Angelina deserved the criticism. The video of Anne’s speech is below; 1:10, 1:40, and 3:42 are the critical points of potential Angelina staring moments. Stink eye/death stare or just make-believe drama?

If we’re going to tally votes, E! says stink eye, claiming that “While Anne stuttered through a rambling acceptance speech highlighting her fellow “celluloid sisters” (which is a considerable improvement from her “process metaphysics” lecture earlier this week), Angelina made no attempt to hide her disdain, and we love her for it.” FOX, on the other hand, says “steamed.” Same difference.

Angelina Jolie Does a Pamela Anderson, and by that I mean Look Ugly

Duncan Riley — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:00:30 +0000

What the hell happened to Angelina Jolie’s face? Long famed as one of the most beautiful actresses on the planet, Jolie was looking more than a little worse for wear at the Critics Choice Awards Thursday evening.

Press reports suggest that Jolie was looking very skinny with great legs, but the appearance of check bones and the OMG face might suggest something more than just a bad day at the office. I guess when you keep pumping out babies some things give way.

In related news, tabloids are reporting that Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are kid shopping again, although no official confirmation on the story.
