Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt Pre Nuptial and Angelina in the Bible?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

It seems like every week we have a new Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt rumor.
The one this week that keeps getting smashed is the $200 million pre-nuptial agreement rumor.
The story was that Angelina had a pre-nuptial agreement drawn up to be signed before she married Brad Pitt.
But one of Angelina's reps has stated that "There is no truth to any of these claims."
Okay, is that the pre-nup claim or the wedding claim?
Brad Pitt has stated he was not going to get married until it was legal for everyone to get married. But that if he and Angelina felt it was important for the children, that they might do it anyway.
And Angelina has said that it might be easier to adopt were they husband and wife.

By the way, Angelina is in the new "Bible Illuminated: The Book - New Testament".
That's right, the Bible.
She appears in a section with Bono, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Ghandi, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama and Princess Diana, implying they all are messengers of God.
It's all a little too mind boggling for me, so here's the link to the article if you want to check it out.

Saint Angelina anyone?

Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie



I think hardly a week goes by that you don't see Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's names linked on a supermarket tabloid.
Jennifer is usually portrayed as the "innocent" party, but now is that tide changing?

Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, And Angelina Jolie Are Caught In The Triangle
Jennifer Aniston has entered 'The Triangle' and doesn't look she realizes her ship may just go down over troubled waters. For years, Aniston has maintained a relatively squeaky clean image with the public, but lately it seems as if people are starting to catch on to her act.
http://www.timesoftheinternet.com/29200.html

And their rivalry does only go for Brad, but magazine covers as well.

Angelina Jolie Vs Jennifer Aniston: Magazine Cover Face-Off!
Brad Pitt is not the only thing Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have been feuding over - the pair have also gone head-to-head over the years as rival covers girls.
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=46247

Of course Jennifer plans her PR excursions, all stars do, but this seems to be a little weird. Is the facade really cracking?

Jennifer Aniston worried about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston was so worried about Brad Pitt toting Angelina Jolie around on the promo circuit, she had her agent fix her up with a Plan B boyfriend, say reports.

Brad Still Worried About Angelina?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Now I'm starting to understand why the worlds view of the US is so messed up.
It doesn't have anything to do with the American government.
When the China Daily quotes the National Enquirer as a news source, we're all in trouble.

Pitt fears Jolie will 'crash and burn'
Brad Pitt is reportedly concerned for his partner Angelina Jolie's health and fears that she will 'crash and burn' due to stress.
According to the National Enquirer, Pitt is worried that Jolie is heading for 'a complete meltdown' after she broke down in tears at a recent press conference in London.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2008-12/04/content_7271368.htm

Although in this case, The National Enquirer isn't alone. We've heard for months that Brad is worried about Angelina's mental well being and health.
But is he really?
I mean it may be well founded, I've said before that she does seem to be spreading herself thin.
(Okay, that's not a skinny joke)
But short of Brad calling a press conference (which I don't see happening) how will we ever know what he really thinks?

Angelina Jolie Denies Pregnancy

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I think almost every tabloid at the supermarket now has "Angelina Jolie Pregnant!" splattered across the front.
Except Weekly World News which is probably "Angelina Jolie Pregnant With Alien Baby!"
As I mentioned before, I really think I could just make up celebrity news and no one would notice the difference.

Jolie Denies Pregnancy as Rumors Increase
Angelina Jolie has been forced to deny she is pregnant again following tabloid reports suggesting the actress is expecting her fourth biological child with Brad Pitt.
Speculation surrounding a reported pregnancy has dogged the Hollywood supercouple in recent months, rumors that were denied by the Oscar winner's publicist earlier this month.

Angelina Jolie Gets Choked Up Remembering Mom

Say what you will about Angelina Jolie, the lady is compassionate.
Her work with the UN, her adoptions, and her feelings toward her mother.
Taking on a role like she did in the Changeling had to be hard on her, and it was.....

Angelina Jolie Gets Choked Up Remembering Mom
The almost always completely composed Angelina Jolie recently became overcome with emotion during a press interview for her new film “Changeling.” “Changeling” tells the true story of Christine Collins, a woman whose son was kidnapped, and who was then given a different boy by the corrupt LA police department. Angelina Jolie explained that she drew inspiration for playing the role of Collins from her own mother, whom she was extremely close to and who died early last year from cancer

Angelina Jolie to quit acting?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I asked in the last entry how Angelina was supposed to keep up with all the kids, plus maintain her acting career.
I guess this news article I found explains that.
It seems Angelina has already planned all that out.

Angelina Jolie plans to quit acting
Angelina Jolie has revealed plans to bow out of acting to concentrate on raising her family.
The 33-year-old star has a brood of six children with Brad Pitt, including four-month-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, a daughter named Shiloh and adopted siblings Maddox, Zahara and Pax.
She was interviewed by the BBC while promoting her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.
Asked in the interview whether she thought the possibility of her looks fading could affect a lengthy career, Jolie said: "I don't think about it much because I don't plan to keep acting very long."
Laughing, she continued: "I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. So I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity and be a successful actress forever.

Angelina Jolie, 'I'll definitely have more kids'

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I understand that Angelina loves children and that she is trying to make a better life for them.
But I just wonder how far this lady is stretching herself. I mean she has six kids now, and a movie career.
I mean this year she has had Kung Fu Panda, Wanted and Changeling come out.
And now she says she wants more children?

'I'll definitely have more kids'
Angelina Jolie, who loves running after her six children, has revealed that she will ‘definitely’ have more kids.
The Academy Award-winner said that both she and beau Brad Pitt teamed up to help each other out with the kids and wouldn’t mind chasing some more in the house, reports China Daily.
The Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency told 'Access Hollywood' at the “Kung Fu Panda” DVD release party at the Mann Chinese Theater in Los Angeles that she had a ‘great partner.

Angelina Jolie's Nintendo Wii workout


Okay, now everybody can quit wondering!
Angelina lost all that weight from childbirth by doing.....Nintendo Wii???
Ummm....okay...I can see the commercial now....

Angelina Jolie's Nintendo workout
Angelina Jolie has been using her children's video games to lose weight.
The 33-year-old actress - who raises six kids with partner Brad Pitt - has been burning off her post-pregnancy pounds with a Nintendo Wii console, which requires players to use their body to control their games' characters.
A source said: "Angelina's kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun. They explained to her you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise."
Wanted star Angelina - who gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline in July - is said to be particularly taken with the 'Let's Pilates!' game.
The source added to America's OK! magazine: "She tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week. She's picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!"

Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie


Well I wouldn't really call this part of the Changeling PR machine. But it did get Angelina and Clint's names in the spotlight a bit more.....

Angelina Sneaks In to Honor Icon Eastwood
The mutual admiration society was in full force Monday night as Angelina Jolie made an unexpected appearance at the 12th Annual Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala to honor her Changeling director, Clint Eastwood.
"There are some people in this business who are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they'll live up to what we imagine them to be," Jolie said from the stage upon her surprise arrival.

Angelina Jolie, 'Changeling'


Angelina Jolie's new movie 'Changeling' seems to be getting a lot better reviews than 'Wanted' did.
'Changeling' directed by Clint Eastwood, is a thriller set in the late 1920s in Los Angeles. It's based on the true story of a woman who recognizes that the boy returned to her after a kidnapping is not her son.
You can see more about the movie here:

Good reviews for Angelina Jolie in 'Changeling'
by Tom O'Neil
While there were enough naysayers to drag the overall Meta Critic score for "Changeling" down to 65, reviews from the likes of nationally known critics Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times ), Kenneth Turan (Los Angeles Times) and David Ansen (Newsweek) were positively glowing. All of them praised the performance of the Academy Award winning Angelina Jolie as the real-life heroine who battled the L.A. police in 1930 by refusing to accept a mysterious boy as her missing son. And they lauded the direction by four-time Oscar winner Clint Eastwood.

Mack's review of "The Changeling"
by David Eddie
At least in The Changeling, it's a woman looking after the kid-- and not just a woman, it's Angelina Jolie, ladies and gentlemen!-- but it's the 1920s, and things were different back then, so it's not really her fault. She's a single working mom, she works as some sort of telephone operator supervisor, who for some reason roller skates around the office (and that was a scariest part of the movie, watching balloon-lipped stick-insect Angelina Jolie rollerskate around and thinking: "Oh, my God, Angelina, I hope you don't fall, your anorexic bones will crumble like Ryvita!").

Is Brad Pitt worried about Angelina Jolie?



More Hollywood Rumor Grinding.
If you get pregnant and keep the weight, everyone says you're fat and they take thousands of pictures of you with the "SHOCKING!" caption.
If you loose the weight, something is wrong with you.

Is Brad Pitt worried for Angelina Jolie?
Any new dad worries for his partner after the birth of a child. Being a celebrity doesn't change a thing.
It doesn't matter if you've just given birth to your first, third or fifth child...things change each time.
Rumor has it that Brad Pitt might be worried for Angelina Jolie as she has dropped her pregnancy weight a lot quicker than expected.
Everyone knows the pressure celebrities are under to look hot at all times.
Many Angelina fans are hoping that Angelina wasn't too worried as she always looks beautiful.
An insider told In Touch Weekly: "She's been eating three to four tiny meals and working out for an hour or more every day."
Family physician Dr. Walt Larimore added: "If someone is taking in fewer calories, their nutrition level is dangerously low.
"She'll have vitamin and mineral deficiencies."

Angelina Jolie has bought her seven-year-old son a knife

actress angelina jolie
I can't wait to hear the outcry that this will probably start........

Angelina Jolie has bought her seven-year-old son a knife.

The actress, who adopted son Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, wants him to learn how to defend himself and understand the responsibilities of carrying a weapon.
She said in an interview with W magazine:
"My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12. And I have already bought Maddox some things. "We take him to a special shop.
We also talk about samurais and the idea about defending someone as good. We talk about everything. "I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to it. I suddenly wanted to."

September 9, 2008 - IGN Movies has learned from a trusted source that Oscar winner Angelina Jolie may not star in the Columbia Pictures espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt after all.
Jolie replaced Tom Cruise as the lead in the Phillip Noyce-directed project, which would have required the script to be retooled to accommodate the gender change for the main character -- a CIA agent accused of being a Russian defector. The title would also have to be changed.

Sexy Battle for Catwoman Angelina Jolie vs. Cher vs. Halle Berry

Sexy Battle for Catwoman Angelina Jolie vs. Cher vs. Halle Berry


Isn't Angelina Jolie the purrfect Catwoman? There were reports earlier this month that Brad Pitt's sexy wife Angelina Jolie was all set for the role. But the role has now been reportedly offered to Cher. Wait Cher? That's the 62-year old singer in actress in a Catwoman suit. If the film pans out as reported by the UK Telegraph it will be a who's who with all sorts of A-List actor's names.

The paper reports that a wish list for the next "Dark Knight" installment would include Johnny Depp and Cher (no Angelina Jolie mentioned in the latest report though she still seems like the perfect fit) and they would be the exact opposite of the earlier actresses that have plays Catwoman.

Angelina Jolie attacked for not supporting Barack Obama


Angelina Jolie attacked for not supporting Barack Obama

If you're a Hollywood actor and you don't endorse Barack Obama you’d better watch out for the American comedienne Roseanne Barr. She has launched a stream of invective against Angelina Jolie for not pledging her support to the Democratic nominee.

Jolie recently said - rather pompously - that she was waiting to see the commitments Obama intends making "on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world". But this cut no ice with Barr. "Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture [a reference to two of Jolie’s three adopted children] had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican Party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?

Angelina Jolie's Career begins to take off.....




Angelina's career prospects began to improve after her performance as Cornelia Wallace in the 1997 biopic George Wallace for which she won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy. The film was highly praised by critics and, among other awards, received the Golden Globe for Best Miniseries/Motion Picture made for TV. She played the second wife of the segregationist Governor of Alabama who was shot and paralyzed while running for President. The film starred Gary Sinise and was directed by John Frankenheimer.

In 1998, Jolie starred in HBO's Gia as supermodel Gia Carangi. The film depicted a world of sex, drugs and emotional drama, and chronicled the destruction of Carangi's life and career as a result of her drug addiction, and her decline and death from AIDS. Vanessa Vance from Reel.com noted, "Angelina Jolie gained wide recognition for her role as the titular Gia, and it's easy to see why. Jolie is fierce in her portrayal — filling the part with nerve, charm, and desperation — and her role in this film is quite possibly the most beautiful train wreck ever filmed." For the second consecutive year, Angelina won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy. She also won her first Screen Actors Guild Award. In accordance with Lee Strasberg's method acting Jolie reportedly preferred to stay in character in between scenes during many of her early films, and as a result had gained a reputation for being difficult to deal with. While shooting Gia, she told her then-husband Jonny Lee Miller that she wouldn't be able to phone him. "I'd tell him: 'I'm alone; I'm dying; I'm gay; I'm not going to see you for weeks."

Following Gia, Jolie moved to New York and stopped acting for a short period of time, because she felt that she had "nothing else to give". She enrolled at New York University to study filmmaking and attended writing classes. She described it as "just good for me to collect myself" on Inside the Actors Studio.

More early fims......


Angelina appeared as Gina Malacici in the 1996 comedy Love Is All There Is, a modern-day adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set among two rival Italian family restaurant owners in the Bronx, New York. In the road movie Mojave Moon she was a youngster, named Eleanor Rigby, who falls for Danny Aiello, while he takes a shine to her mother, Anne Archer. In 1996, she also played Margret "Legs" Sadovsky, one of five teenage girls who form an unlikely bond in the film Foxfire after they beat up a teacher who has sexually harassed them. The Los Angeles Times wrote about Jolie's performance, "It took a lot of hogwash to develop this character, but Jolie, Jon Voight's knockout daughter, has the presence to overcome the stereotype. Though the story is narrated by Maddy, Legs is the subject and the catalyst."

In 1997, Jolie starred with David Duchovny in the thriller Playing God, a film portraying a surgeon who is stripped of his medical license and is lured deep into the criminal world where he meets Jolie’s character, Claire. The movie was not received well by critics and Roger Ebert noted that "Angelina Jolie finds a certain warmth in a kind of role that is usually hard and aggressive; she seems too nice to be a criminal's girlfriend, and maybe she is." She then appeared in the TV movie True Women, a historical romantic drama set in the West, and based on the book by Janice Woods Windle. That year she also played a stripper in the Rolling Stones music video for the song "Anybody Seen My Baby?"

Angelina Jolie - First Films

young angelina jolie

At the age of 14, Angelina Jolie started working as a fashion model.
Finesse Model Management signed her and she modeled in both the United States and Europe, working mainly in Los Angeles, New York and London.
During that time, she also appeared in several music videos, including those of Meat Loaf ("Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through"), Antonello Venditti ("Alta Marea"), Lenny Kravitz ("Stand by My Woman"), and The Lemonheads ("It's About Time").
At the age of 16, Jolie returned to theatre.
She began to learn from her father, as she noticed his method of observing people to become like them.
Their relationship during this time was less strained, with Angelina realizing that they were both "drama queens".

While her brother attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Angelina appeared in five of his student films. But her professional movie career really began in 1993, when she played her first leading role in the low budget film Cyborg 2, as Casella "Cash" Reese, a near-human robot, designed to seduce her way into a rival manufacturer's headquarters and then self-detonate. She starred as Kate "Acid Burn" Libby in her first Hollywood picture, Hackers (1995), where she met her first husband Jonny Lee Miller.
The New York Times wrote, "Kate (Angelina Jolie) stands out. That's because she scowls even more sourly than her co-stars and is that rare female hacker who sits intently at her keyboard in a see-through top. Despite her sullen posturing, which is all this role requires, Ms. Jolie has the sweetly cherubic looks of her father, Jon Voight."
The movie failed to make a profit at the box-office, but developed a cult following after its video release.

Angelina and Jon Voight

Jolie has been long estranged from her father, though a reconciliation was attempted, and he appeared with her in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. In July 2002, Jolie filed a request to legally change her name to "Angelina Jolie", dropping Voight as her surname; the name change was made official on September 12, 2002. In August of the same year, Jon Voight claimed that his daughter had "serious emotional problems" on Access Hollywood. Jolie later indicated that she no longer wished to pursue a relationship with her father, and said, "My father and I don't speak. I don't hold any anger toward him. I don't believe that somebody's family becomes their blood. Because my son's adopted, and families are earned." She stated that she did not want to publicize her reasons for her estrangement from her father, but because she had adopted her son, she did not think it was healthy for her to associate with Voight.
