OlderAngelina Jolie: I Want 13 or 14 Kids
Angelina Jolie greets fans and signs autographs before a screening of her new movie A Mighty Heart at the French Institute in New York City on Thursday night.
Here are a a few excerpts from last night’s taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:
When you walked the streets of Pakistan, do you wear a head cover? A burka? Can I, if I may? And I say this with all due respect, Can the burka contain your hotness? It’s not possible, is it? You are our most powerful weapon against extremism.” I did actually put on a burka to see what it was like. [laughs]
How are you doing? Are you exhausted? I’m great. I’ve got a crazy big happy family and I’m used to chaos, and I’m very, very lucky.
How high are we going? Where are you going to go [in terms of kids]? It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14. [laughs]
Wow. I’ll tell you this. I admire that, because two is kicking my ass! Yeah, I understand that. Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, ‘Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’ [laughs]
Yeah man, who are they? Little bastards, think they can beat us. They can’t beat us! We’re the adults! That’s right! [laughs]
PLAYDATE! And if the kids want to come, they can come. [laughs]
I didn’t have to sign [a contract] to interview, what’s all this [controversy]?: “I think people are always, unfortunately, looking for the most negative story. 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. But it was not mandatory. I didn’t put it out there. It was from my representatives who were trying to be protective but it was excessive and I wouldn’t have to put it out there.”

Angelina Jolie: Brad and I May Want Up to 14 Kids
FRIDAY JUNE 15, 2007 08:05 AM EDT
By Pete Norman
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt already have four young children – but they may not be planning to stop there.
On Thursday’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart wondered how many kids Jolie wanted in all, asking: “How high we going, you think?”
Replied Jolie: “It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14.” The audience howled and Jolie laughed, and Stewart said, “Wow, I’ll tell you this: I admire that, because two is kicking my ass.”
Jolie quipped: “Yeah, I understand that. Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, ‘Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’ ”
The actress, 32, has been in New York City promoting her and Pitt’s new movie A Mighty Heart, which premiered Wednesday.
Stewart asked Jolie about a FOX News story claiming that journalists at a junket on Wednesday had been asked to sign a contract before talking to her requiring that they not ask about her personal life – a common request at press events.
“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 explained. “It was from my representative trying to be protective of me, but it was excessive and I wouldn’t have put it out there.”
On Thursday, Jolie’s lawyer, Robert Offer, issued a mea culpa, telling The New York Times the document was the fault of a “bone-headed, overzealous lawyer” – himself – and that Jolie hadn’t 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.”
Also on Thursday, Jolie appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live, where she described raising the latest addition to her family, 3-year-old Pax Thien, whom she adopted from Vietnam in March (he joined Maddox, 5; Zahara, 2; and Shiloh, 1). “He’s wild. He’s beautiful and wild,” she said.
“He had no freedoms for three and a half years. … He lived in the same place on the same cot along with 20 other cots and did things at the exact same time and had no chance to have an opinion himself or do – he lived a very structured life. But he’s also suddenly very free.”
She explained that her new son’s name was suggested by her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, before her death from ovarian cancer in January. “My mom wrote a list of names when we were going to have Shiloh,” said Jolie. “One of the names that she suggested was Pax because it meant peace. [But] he’s anything but at the moment.”
Mickey could take this guy down!

LOS ANGELES, June 14 — The pen is mightier than the sword, they say. But not, apparently, when celebrity gossip is part of the equation. Then the pen has to deal with a lawyer.
The international celebrity do-gooder Angelina Jolie found herself in a strange situation this week when she insisted that journalists at the premiere of her new movie about a murdered journalist — a screening that was in itself an event on behalf of persecuted journalists — sign an agreement limiting their questions and their use of her answers.
The agreement, while not unprecedented in Hollywood, did not go down well with the journalists. Ms. Jolie was granting interviews regarding her new film, “A Mighty Heart,” in which she plays Mariane Pearl, the wife of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal correspondent who was murdered by Islamic extremists in Pakistan. The film will be released by Paramount Vantage on June 22.
The movie premiere on Wednesday night at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York was a benefit for Reporters Without Borders, the Paris-based nonprofit organization that champions press freedom around the world.
Reporters hoping to interview Ms. Jolie were asked to sign a document forbidding them to ask her about her personal relationships. The agreement went on: “The interview may only be used to promote the Picture. In no event may Interviewer or Media Outlet be entitled to run all or any portion of the interview in connection with any other story.” And, “the interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning or derogatory to Ms. Jolie.”
Most of the media outlets, including The Associated Press, declined to sign, Paramount said.
Ms. Jolie’s lawyer, Robert Offer, said that the statement was the fault of a “bone-headed, overzealous lawyer” — meaning himself — and that his client was unaware of the move. “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.”
Ms. Jolie herself declined to comment.
Still, this wasn’t the first time such an agreement was used. Mr. Offer said journalists were asked to sign a similar agreement around the release of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” when Ms. Jolie and her co-star Brad Pitt caused a media firestorm over their apparent affair and the collapse of Mr. Pitt’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
At the time, Mr. Offer said, journalists signed the agreement.
Ms. Jolie’s manager, Geyer Kosinski, said the new document was meant to “guide” journalists, not control them, because Ms. Jolie has a tendency to speak frankly. “She is an incredibly candid, honest person, who is undeterred herself in answering questions,” he said. “Our collective intention was to protect her.”
A spokeswoman for Paramount Vantage denied an accusation on the Foxnews.com Web site that Ms. Jolie had banned Fox from the red carpet at the premiere, and that it was given a spot only after the studio intervened. “It was an omission,” the spokeswoman said, “an honest mistake.”
Whatever, it was a standard agreement that often is signed in Hollywood. The press agreed to the same contract when she was promoting Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Another Thread!!!!!!!!!
Jared this old girl can’t keep up! I have arthritis you know. (along with all of the other itises. lol Survive Breast Cancer and then suffer aches and pains. what’s a body to do?!)
Anyway, question…
I checked out the JJB B&A mega Post and the picture of them at the Bansky Art Show was posted — you know the one with her hair straight and wearing the black trench? — is it me or does Brad have that look of “Yeah, that’s right Angie is mine”? Either that or “We just had the most amazing sex!”
seems like a few sicko”s on the loose!!! or could it be just Mmmmm….and her bipolar personality?
She looks gorgeous. You can see how relaxed she is.
For those still b!tchin about the faux news thing, let it foukin go.
LoL @ 7 to 13 or 14 kids. I have a feeling she is not joking. Brad did say at once that he wanted 12 kids.
To poster #28, Luke, please pull your head out wherever you have it lodged and read posts # 31 & 33. Education. It’s a *good* thing!

she’S a *****!
———————–
Is this a fill in the gap quiz? Well, that’s much too easy..
she’s a..cut above most HW actors by virtue of the fact that she could just as easily spend her time being photographed shopping, or going into beauty salons or tanning herself on some beach….but she prefers to exercise her brain and learn about the world and the unfairness of it and then try in her own way to do something about it…..
or
She’s a wonderful inspirational person
She’s a good human being
She’s a person who wants to make a difference
She’s an intelligent woman
How’s that for starters?
Kelly D, great to hear you say that. As always very sexy and hoTTTTTTTT
Everyone have chin,but Jennifer Aniston has a big chin.
Bringing this part of my post from the last thread over:
As for Angie being preggers right now, well guys, I’m skeptical. She has said they need to just catch up to the kids they have right now and get them more together, and too, she says she knows her body needs to be built up and strong again…I can’t see her trying to get pregnant when she doesn’t see herself as being as healthy as she could possibly be, I think she will wait until she is more rested and has gained some weight. Also, wasn’t she drinking wine in Prague and then champagne at that reception when they first arrived off the plane in Cannes? Plus, with as fast as they got preggers before, they know they need to be careful with alcohol because conception happens quick with them. If they were trying to conceive I don’t think she’d be drinking at all. We’ll see, for sure, but I think they don’t have any baby-making plans until the year off they are planning. I’m sure they are practicing alot right now, though! haha!! Gotta stay in practice!

Angelina Jolie: Brad and I May Want Up to 14 Kids

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt already have four young children – but they may not be planning to stop there.
On Thursday’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart wondered how many kids Jolie wanted in all, asking: “How high we going, you think?”

[But] he’s anything but at the moment.”
I know, this has been done to death, but I just have to say - when I saw Angie walk out on the stage for the Daily Show last night, I gasped - she is so painfully thin. It’s almost hard to look at how frail-looking she is.
Lainey says the real reason for her thinness is - all the negative tabloid crap actually DOES get to her, esp. the claims that she doesn’t love Shiloh. I tend to think there’s some truth to that. She does have feelings and when she’s bombarded with negativity, it’s bound to have an effect on her health.
Whoa. Don’t bring up Jennifer. The girl has done good for herself; so, let’s not judge her. Let’s leave the past where it should be. Otherwise, this is what helps breed animosity here. Let’s just focus on Angelina. She was great in both interviews. Beautifully candid as always. I’m also glad that she addressed her weight loss during the press conference. It’s much easier to say, “She’s too thin” than remember what she had gone through this year. I hope she appears more on TDS. Jon is so funny, and that definitely makes him sexy.
She handled every negativity with grace.She is amazing woman.
Dear Mr&Mrs. Jolie-Pitt,
May I be your fifth adoptee?
Sixth? Seventh? Fourteenth??
I was born in a somewhat underdeveloped country..
Zahara&I will have such good fun.
Sincerely,
Lulu
ohhoho! That blows you guys theory that AJ represents herself. HAHAHAHAHAHA morons!
yeh, Angie has a chin but X’s chin is the worst ever, i mean if i have X’s chin i would repair it, make it look nice yah know, what’s the 110M 4? hihihi
she is pregnant? Nah, i agree with you #42.
They can have as many as they want!
My favorite part was after she answered the Fox News question. Jon said something like he had something she needed to sign- a prenup… and that he had a sea captain standing by.
Yeah babe!
Rock on Ange!
most boring interview ever, she has no personality whatsoever. yeah and that vein in her forehead is really freakin scary. but she is beautiful.

************************************
I have to admit there may be some truth to that. Angie has a “tough girl” exterior, but as most people who know her say, she’s really very loving, warm, and caring. Not a typical cold, tough girl. Don’t get me wrong, I think she is still a true badass, but her maturity has tempered that “tough girl” shell and now she learning to use that strength, confidence, and self-assurance in a way that benefits causes and people she cares about, to stand up for what’s right, rather than focusing merely on herself and just how shocking she can be in a negative way like she has done in the past with the self-destructive behavior. (And like some other starlets are now doing!)
Did you see that video clip where Brad was asked at the NYC Premiere what it was like to be Angie’s boss, and he grinned and said, “Angie doesn’t have a boss.”? Soooo right! haha!! So glad she’s with a man who gets her.
But the point is, yes, she’s large and in charge, but that doesn’t mean nasty comments about her children and the man she loves do not hurt her (though she’d never let the tabs know it). She doesn’t seem to take ownership of, or internalize of all that nasty press, which is great, but yes, I do think it wounds her and she wants to protect her loved ones from being hurt by it. If anything, I would say the responsibility of protecting them does weigh on her mind alot. Again, I am so glad she has Brad to lean on and share her concerns with through all the good times and bad times. I see these two staying together for ages.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, cause Angelina is PERFECT!!!!!
JJ you are as always the most awesome and up-to-date. I watched both Larry and Jon’s interview with Angie. She cleared up all “negative” rumors and still comments of hate and sarcasm of these so-called “non-haters” will always come up with something very petty. Like chins and posture coming out of the car, and skeleton looking, etc. Didn’t she say on one another interview why she is thin now and working on it? Negative people and haters, grow up. If you don’t like her or don’t like Brad, move on and write something positive to your favorite’s thread. Why trash Brangelina when the world knows they have moved on and her past, and his past are all behind and history. Let’s think of the present and the future. Be more positive, it will make you happier. Do not find faults on every little thing, it will only give you stress because Brad and Angie are happy, challenged and together. Let us be happy for them. Let us also be happy for your chosen favorite stars whoever they may be. Don’t carry the grudge all your life and sit on a rocking chair when you are older and still be bitter.
