Angelina Jolie to quit acting?

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'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!"

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.

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!").
