According to Jennifer Trevorrow, writer for www.entertainmentwise.com, said that Angelina worried about her twins while during the film Changeling. She plays a mother whose son disappears. She even had nightmares about it.
I can see how it can be stressful. It is one of parents worse nightmares.
Angelina told the New York Times, “It was like, ‘Do you want to start a pregnancy in this high emotional state?’ I felt so raw. Now we joke that maybe we had too much energy because we ended up with twins! It was a huge surprise – we both got hysterical with laughter when we found out.”
Global Action for Children
According to www.usmagazine.com, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt gave $100,000 to Global Action for Children. What a great Christmas gift.
With the holiday season upon us, we hope the generous gift from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation inspires others to give and focus on assisting orphans and highly vulnerable children around the world,” said the charity’s executive director, Jennifer Delaney. “Each and every donation can truly make a difference in the life of a child.”
Delaney is right. Any money will make a great difference. So never think that your donation will not help.
Brad’s 45th Birthday
Angelina Jolie is giving Brad Pitt a brand new Ducati motorcycle for his 45th Birthday.
“Since Angie is always in a dilemma of what to buy Brad, she’s getting him the new Ducati Monster 1100S titanium,” an insider told In Touch.
“It’s a surprise. She ordered it from Italy months ago. It’s new and I believe it’s not out yet in Ducati stores. I guess a guy can never have too many bikes!”
Now how is it going to be for Brad when the bike will be all over the place.
Moving to New Orleans
It looks like New Orleans may have some new residents. According to Jennifer Trevorrow, writer for www.entertainmentwise.com, Angelina Jolie and her family will be moving to the Pelican State.
“They love the school and their friends here. Most of all they love Verti Marte,” said Angelina.
Verti Marte is a restaurant in New Orleans.
“Their favorite thing to do is go down there. But for all of us, we just come here and feel at home. We’ve made some great friends. This is the place we feel combines all the culture we love.”
Gingerbread Houses
How cute. According to Shruti Dhalwala, writer for www.people.com, Angelina and Brad’s children are making gingerbread houses.
“They’re making gingerbread houses right now,” Angelina Jolie told PEOPLE.
When asked about her children Angelina said, “They’re great.”
We have once gotten a gingerbread house, but we have never made one. Maybe I do not have the skill to make it. I can’t even build a house of cards.
Angelina Jolie Top Earner
According to http://news.bbc.co.uk and the Hollywood Reporter, Angelina Jolie is the highest paid actress in 2008.
Jolie maked about $15m (£10.2m) for her film “Wanted,” and she could get paid $20 million if she is in the possible sequel to the movie, according to www.reuters.com.
Julia Roberts came in second. She made more than $15 million (£10.2m) for the movie “Duplicity.”
Reese Witherspoon came in third for her role in “Four Christmases.” She was paid $14 million (£9.5m).

Appreciate the Time That You have With Your Loved Ones
According to www.usmagazine.com and an article in the new Rolling Stone Magazine, Brad Pitt has started to think about his mortality because of his new movie,”The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
“Angie and I do not fight anymore,” he says. “What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother [actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007], is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore. I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.”
Rolling Stones Magazine asked him about an article in the “New York Times.” The “New York Times” was claiming that Angelina was good at controlling the press.
“It sounded to me like the story made Angie out to be manipulative in some way. She is savvy. I get defensive. [They're] talking about not only the woman I love, but one of the people on this planet who I have the greatest respect for. I think she’s as honorable as anyone I’ve ever met.”
How sweet. It is great to hear that from Brad.
Are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Adopting?
There is a rumor going around that Angelia and Brad will be adopting soon, even possible when the go on a Christmas trip, according to Patricia Ramos, writer for www.okmagazine.com.
“If they do [adopt], we will love them!” said Brad Pitt’s mother, Jane Etta Hillhouse, to Ok.
When OK asked Angelina the question she said joking, “What do you think? You think that I would tell you if I was?”
Jane Completely trust Angelina and Brad on picking of where and when they will adopt.
“That’s up to them!” she said.
Brad and Angelina have done a great job on their children. I think it is great that they not only have children of their own, but they also adopt. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next.

According to www.eparsa.fr and The Today Show, Brad Pitt would marry Angelina Jolie if the kids want them to get married.
“I’m really proud of this family. I look at my sons and daughters. I look at my sons and my daughters, and one’s from Vietnam and one’s from Cambodia and one’s from Ethiopia, and … they’re all brothers and sisters. And they’re fighting, they’re laughing, they’re going into hysterics and staying up late, and they’re messing with their parents, and they’re driving me crazy and I’m really proud. “I truly feel rich being around them. It’s a rich home, and each one of ‘em offers so much to the mix.” Pitt said, “Surprising, though: Six kids is not as easy as you would think.”
“If we feel it’s important to our kids, we would,” he said about getting married. “It seems to get cheapened somehow as it goes through the filter and the airwaves. I just want to keep it close to the chest,” Pitt said about wanting to keep his private life private.
I think it would be great if they got married. Hopefully one of theses day, especially if the children want to, but they do not have to wait on the children to decide.
Homes in New Orleans
According to Mike Celizic TODAYShow.com contributor, Brad Pitt organized a charity to rebuild the 9th ward in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina came through. The organization is called “Make It Right.”
In the video of The Today Show, Brad Pitt is setting in front of some of the charity’s work, “Now you see it. There’s actually families here who are home for the holidays. And it’s really, really cool,” Brad told TODAY’s Ann Curry.
Brad and Angelina Jolie even have a house in New Orleans. They call it their “adopted hometown.”
The people working on the houses are going to keep busy, “This time next year, you’re going to see 100 homes here,” Brad said. “And not only that . . . these homes, what you don’t see is the way they work. It’s a sunny day. Those meters are running backward. They are off the grid. This is the road to affordable housing that you see right here.”
So what else is special about the houses is that they are being built on pilings, deep foundations, with carports underneath. If they have a flood again, the houses will ride about the water and they will survive.
Great Idea. I cannot wait for the people of New Orleans all have a place to call their home.
Angelina’s Barbie Problem
Angelina Jolie is having a problem with finding a Barbie for Zahara, who is from Ethiopia, according to www.entertainmentwise.com. Zahara wants her hair to look like her mom’s hair.
“. . . Zahara, who’s Ethiopian, wants her hair to look like mine – because it won’t.”
“I’ve looked for a Barbie that’s African, but the African Barbie has straight hair.”
I am not sure where they went, but when I was growing up there was African American Barbie with curly hair. Maybe the Barbie Companies will come up with an African Barbie with curly hair. I remember getting upset because the dolls had blond hair, and mine was reddish brown. Finally they came out with something close to my hair. She had blue black hair.

According to www.timesoftheinternet.com, there is a rumor that Angelina Jolie throws knives when she is angry and when she fights with Brad. Luckily she does not throw them at any one.
A source told Star Magazine (remember this is a rumor), “Their (Pitt and Jolie’s) bodyguards witness the tantrums that Angie tosses when Brad takes off or spends too much money. She throws knives at the wall when she and Brad fight – never at him, but she gets angry and vents with knives.”
Angelina has had a fascination with knifes, since she was young. “I got knives out and had a night where we attacked each other.. it felt so primitive and it felt so honest.. and then I had to deal with, you know, not telling my mother, hiding things, wearing gauze bandages to high school, ” said Jolie.
Not Pregnant
There have been rumors floating around that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting another child.
First, I have to say that she has way too much on her hands already. She helps take care of the family and is or will be shooting a new move.
Jolie’s rep. finally commented on the subject of the pregnancy. The rep. Told Us Weekly that the rumors are untrue.
So there you have it. Right from Angelina’s rep.

According to www.usmagazine.com, Angelina Jolie has confirmed that she has taken Tom Cruise’s place in the movie Edwin A. Salt.
Jolie confirmed it in a BBC Radio interview.
“I’m working on a film called Salt. And it’s with [Bone Collector director] Phillip Noyce. And that’s it.”
I cannot wait to see this movie, but then again . . . I always look forward to any movie that she is any.
Marcheline Bertrand
According to uk.news.yahoo.com, Angelina Jolie talks about her late mother Marcheline Bertrand, who was only 56 when she passed away on January 2007.
“Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world. She was really sweet and was never angry – she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her, her story. She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength through just knowing what was right,” Jolie said through tears.
I do not blame her for crying. I know I would.
Angelina is Not Ready to Retire
According to www.thecelebritytruth.com, Angelina is not quitting acting- – at least for now.
“I’m not making some retirement announcement. I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time. I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. Maybe eventually I’ll stop (acting).”
Thank goodness.

According to www.okmagazine.com, Angelina 4 month old twins, Knox and Vivienne, have already started to show their different personalities.
“They’re still so little, but they do… They’re at that point where their personality really starts to shine.”
Angelina Jolie is in one of the best phases of parenting. Even the fact that they get to compare the two and notice the differences makes it better. It is wonderful to watch.
Angelina Jolie is Giving Up Acting
Angelina Jolie is going to be giving up acting to become a full-time mother, according to www.usmagazine.com.
“I don’t plan to keep acting very long. I’m ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day,” she tells BBC News. “I’m not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity.”
She does have a lot of things on her plate that she is involved with, but that does not mean that she will be completely turning her back on it.
“I don’t think I’ll ever say I’m never, ever gonna work because maybe there’s that interesting project where I feel creative. like being home a lot,” Jolie adds. “First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they’re growing right and they’ve got us there for them.”
I understand where she is coming from, but I do not think I could give up my career. Then again, my career does not take me away from my family.

How Does Angelina Jolie Stay in Shape
According to Samantha Chang, Executive Editor of TheImproper.com, Angelina has been working with the program Let’s Pilates! for the Nintendo DS.
“She tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week,” says the source. “She’s picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!”
Ouch. What I remember about Pilates is the pain I had to go through. I think I would rather dance than try that again. But then again… I was in dance class when I had to do them.
Brad Makes it But Angelina Doesn’t
I can not believe it. Brad made the list, but Angelina didn’t. The survey (for the list) was carried out by Parade magazine and Entertainment Tonight. The survey was to see which celebrity raise people’s spirits during hard times. Here is the list.
America’s 10 favourite stars:
1. Will Smith
2. Tom Hanks
3. Reese Witherspoon
4. George Clooney
5. Meryl Streep
6. Brad Pitt
7. Julia Roberts
8. Johnny Depp
9. Jennifer Aniston
10. Patrick Dempsey.
Now I would have said Will Smith and Reese Witherspoon, but I also believe that Angelina should be on the list – - along with a few other I can think of. That is an idea. Maybe I should make my own list.

According to www.okmagazine.com, recently Angelina Jolie made a trip visiting returning refugees in Afghanistan. As many of you may know, she is a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN’s refugee agency.
This is the first time that Jolie has been to Afghanistan. She visited with former Afghan refugees, who are trying to get back home to their country.
“The courage, resilience and quiet dignity of returnee families rebuilding their lives against the kind of adversity few of us can imagine shows the human spirit at its best,” Angelina wrote in a statement on the website for the UNHCR.
“Afghanistan has been struggling to absorb these massive returns,” explains Angelina. “It’s understandable. It’s one of the largest population movements in recent history.”
Will Brad and Angelina Ever Get Married.
According to www.winnipegsun.com, Angelina believes that the kids will talk her and Brad into getting married.
“Sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us (to get married),” she told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine.”
“You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, ‘Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you’re not?’ ”
Leave it up to the kids, and they will be married in no time.
Angelina Feels Betrayed
According to www.hollyscoop.com and Star Magazine, Angelina Jolie feels betrayed because Brad is flirting with his co-star, Diane Kruger.
“Angie loves Brad and wants to trust him, but she also knows that their own love blossomed while working on a movie together,” an insider tells the magazine. “Now she’s convinced that Diane has a crush on Brad, and she’s scared something could happen.”
Even though the fear is rightly there because how they met, I do not think she has anything to worry about. She has kids with Brad, and I do not think that he would cheat on her. Diane Kruger is pretty, but not as beautiful as Angelina Jolie.

It seems like Angelina Jolie and Brad have this parenting thing down, according to www.okmagazine.com.
“When the kids misbehave, they send them to their room and make them think about what they’ve done,” says a family insider. “Then Brad or Angelina will come talk to the kids and make sure they understand what they did wrong. It’s all about teaching them responsibility and to think for themselves.”
If they can pull that off, they are great parents. When my daughter was younger, I put her in time out, and she crossed her arms and told me that she was a princess. I was too shock to say anything.
The best of luck to both of them.

According to www.okmagazine.com, Angelina could be backing Senator Barack Obama, even after the attempts by her father trying hard to get her to vote for McCain.
“Obama fights for international justice, he wants to militarily intervene in cases of genocide and close Guantanamo Bay,” Angelina Jolie said “These are the things that could move me to vote for him, not his roots.”
I guess will have to wait to see who will win. Before you vote, please research both candidates, then make your own choice not someone elses.
In The Public Spot Light
According to www.usmagazine.com, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fell in love on the movie set of
Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
“Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love,” Angelina said, referring to wanting her kids to see the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in the New York Times.That is true. Not many can say that. At least that I can think of.
But, she does worry about what her kids can see on the internet, if they look up her name.
“[Maddox will] look up my name and see some kind of sexy pictures, or read a story about himself that isn’t true. There’s a lot we’re going to have to explain to them about how public their family is,” Jolie said.
Right now, even though many of us think Angelina is cool, her children do not.
“What’s going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool, because right now, we’re not cool Mom and Dad,” Angelina said. “Even video games, you know, it’s: ‘Mom, you can’t play this. You don’t know how.’
“Oh, they all think I can’t do anything, that I’m just there to snuggle with. But the other day, Madd said, ‘Can you do a cartwheel?’ and I said, ‘Yeah I can.’ And he was like, ‘Wow, Mom,’” Jolie said.
“And I thought ‘Oh, yeah. I can do some things. You wait. You’ll find out. I’m capable.”
Most kids do think that their parents can’t do anything. And to be able to do a cartwheel, I use to know how, but I am now afraid I would break my neck if I tried.
