OlderAngelina Jolie - “Hello” Magazine Interview
The Canadian edition of Hello! magazine has a fantastic interview with Angelina Jolie about her children, her relationship with Brad – and those eating-disorder rumors.
How is your newest adopted son, Pax, adjusting to family life? He’s a great kid. When we first met him, we thought he was really shy and really quiet, but about two days at home, we discovered that he is the loudest member of the family! He is very athletic, very bold. Pax and Zee [Zahara] have really connected because they’re closer in age, and Madd and Pax – they’re brothers, so they have moments where they absolutely bond together against everybody else in the family. Then they have moments where they bug each other, but it’s quite normal. It’s nice. I’m really, really proud.
It’s rumored that you’re considering adopting a child from the Czech Republic. Is there any truth to this? No. We’re not considering any more adoptions at the moment. We’re trying to make sure that all of our kids are adjusted first and that they all have individual time. We will have more children, but not right now. We’re always
open to all countries, but there just isn’t any truth to the rumors. Just because [we] adopt and because we travel, people say Brad’s buying a house wherever he goes and I’m adopting a child wherever I go.
Do you and Brad have different parenting styles? We’re very similar and we support each other as parents, so there is no divide of “Daddy’s good with this but Mommy doesn’t like it,” or vice versa. Brad is just as affectionate and loving as I am, and I am just as playful.

Do you cook? No. Brad would tell you that I am one of the worst cooks in the world, but my first husband said that I pretended to cook badly so I never had to.
How did Brad help you through the loss of your mother? God, it’s funny to give all his secrets away. He’s a really great friend. He really cares. When my mom passed, he sat with me in the [hospital] room and held her hand and helped me go through all the stages that you have to deal with when someone passes, from her ashes to everything. He was just wonderful to my brother [James] as well. [After her funeral] we all went back home and then he just spent the night asking us questions about our mom.
He got us to tell funny stories about her and focus on all the love and all the joy. Brad is extraordinary.
How’s your relationship with his parents? When I first met Brad’s parents, I came in with two adopted children from other countries and that was new for them and their family. I didn’t know how they were going to be, but they’re wonderful, wonderful people. They’re equally loving to all of the children. We’ve left the children with them quite a few times, but I don’t know if we’ll leave them with Pax at the moment [smiling].
Would you say you wear your emotions on your sleeve more than you used to? I suppose, in some way. It’s funny, because I feel like I’m this really emotional person but people have often said to me, about myself or the roles I play, that I seem strong. I’m often surprised that people don’t see me or think of me as an emotional person. Maybe they do more now, but for a long time in my life, it was that I was just tough or something, and that I lacked emotion.
There’s been a lot of speculation about your recent weight loss. The funny thing is when somebody says, “you’re thin,” people say, “thank you.” But to me, it is not a compliment. It’s not something I want to be. I have always been lean, and this year I lost my mom, I have four kids, I finished breastfeeding and it’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track and learn about my body after birth. The disturbing thing is that instead of somebody saying, “Oh, this looks like a person that’s actually dealing with something [emotional],” they say, “does she want to fit into skinny jeans?” When I [read] anything that says I’m too thin, I think “Good, good!” Let it be a criticism. I don’t want to encourage young girls to be too thin.
Where is the reckless Angelina of old, who dived into the hotel pool after winning her Golden Globe? [Laughing] I’m really the same person. I jumped in the pool because somebody dared me to. So it wasn’t anything punk. It was true happiness and fun. Hopefully, I do still have that [quality] and I’ll jump in many pools in the future.

Hey guys lets not focus on Ted C. and the negative. We have a great Q&A from Sean Smith with an unbias opinion. He is just telling it like he sees it an is as taken aback by certain things as we are. Lets talk about that or the movie coming out or the wonder Princess Z. Don’t let this be another post hijacked by the haters or negativity.
DAMN, I AM PISSED OFF. I REALLY AM.

I heard somewhere that for Angelina’s job as goodwill ambassador she has to be screened for drugs. So, if Ted C.’s finger was pointing to her, then, that sounds fishy. I don’t think Angelina would be allowed to maintain her position if she has not passed the drug tests.
Also, I agree with the posts that Ted C. intends to make the subject of his blind items confusing. I think if he makes it sounds like Angelina then, people are more apt to pay attention to his columns.

ITA. and for godshake, she just adopted Pax, do you think she will be given the permit for adoption ,if she’s on drug. ?
Of course is Brad’s fault. If he was so unhappy in his marriage he should have filed for divorce on the summer of 2004. Like always Mr. Pitty was more concern about the BO of troy.
..no more tattoos and no more children. You are
beautiful already , and you have plenty of
children to take care.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. START PUTTING YOURSELF
FIRST. PLEASE!
Talk Brad like you talked about your love to Jennifer.
Why can’t you talk now about the mother of your daugther? Something wrong???????
Don’t gimme actions talks louder than words shi*. Why can’t Angelina shut up then?????
Ok, this is slightly OT but I was just thinking about little Z and how she is pointing and smiling at the paps lately. I remember Angie saying recently that she tells the kids that they are crazy people(and they sure act that way sometimes) I wonder if they have made it a game with Z, like, who can be the first to spot the crazy people! And Z just looks lately so happy when she is pointing them out. Anyway.. just something that popped in my head.
Z is such a doll.
i just saw FF’ers are going crazy in the “Psycholand” regarding ted c.
then i thought, they’ve been going crazy for over two years now. LOLOL!
no angie never stole brad from jen..thats childesh….stealing wtf!!!lol :) it take two people to be secure in a relation ship , if one person is not happy in a relation , then they do something about it which what brad did.
FU*K JENNIFER ANISTON, THOSE SUPPOSED IT “ACTIVIST” WHO DON’T GET ENOUGH ATTENTION
(FAME*****), AND **** THOSE JELEAUS A88 DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES BITC*HES
******************************
I don’t agree that 100% of the fault is on aniston, she had her share of course but not all.
Brad never talking about his divorce is the biggest reason of the mess, he didn’t have a problem with the press bashing angelina. Brad is missing a sensitive chip.
HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANGIE
ZAHARA IS GORGEOUUUUUUS !!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU
Angelina makes all those people who asked question seem really dumb. I love the reporters response. People are dumb. They bring their own biasness to the questions. My favorite dumb question? It’s from so called Asian American who continued with a litany of charges, one after the other… the second is the one asking if Angelina’s has any remorse…I love the reporters response. classic!
Hey, guys. As much as I’d like to take credit for that post, I just found it on the souliejolie forums. It was posted by Jennifer3333 (I hope she doesn’t mind me putting up her s/n). Anyway, there’s a ton of good read there if any are interested. Heh, don’t mean to be pimping the site.
Thanks all the bunch though.

After reading the newsweek feedback I HATE BRAD PITT AND HIS PR PEOPLE MORE THAN EVER
Neela - Thanks for posting, I’m so angry that people are so damn cruel to angelina. I agree that Brad has done his part to keep the triangle alive.
Brad’s family this week actions didn’t help either.
Brad Speaks:Known facts bout Jennifer Aniston:
when she passes by the bathroom, the toilet flushes.
- when she was born, the hospital put her in an incubator with tinted windows.
- when she looks into the mirror, the reflection ducks.
- when she was born, the doctor slapped the wrong end.
- she fell out of the ugly tree at a young age, and hit every branch on the way down!
i so love that she would still jump on a pool glad to know she hasn’t lost that part of her side because i really dig that im going to see a mighty heart today love her and brad
I have got one thing to say about Brad Pitt.
The next movie he is promoting, he had better
start talking about how great Angie is and how
she made his life so wonderful.
He needs to say that, and we want to hear that.
Yes yes yes, he shows it through his actions,
but we also want to hear it from his lips.
It is not right that she is the only one
gushing about him all the time and he stays
silent!
Regarding Ted again:
He has to do something to keep people reading his column. The bloggers get a lot of the scoops he used to have as exclusives. He rarely confirms a blind vice, so it will be interesting to see if he denys it is Angie in the questions/answers. He plays that game too–doesn’t say no to the obvious choice.

_____________________________________
I have the same problem. I take after my mom, who has always been naturally thin, plus I’m tall with a fast metabolism. Like many people have to work to keep weight off so they can look fit, I have to work to keep weight ON. That’s why it really bothers me when people hate on Angie because of her weight; in some people, it’s not a choice.
concerning jennifer aniston……
honestly people you have nothing else to do than writing the same stuffs each days.
Somebody explains to me what does angelina mean with:
“brad is just as affectionate and loving as i’m,and i’m just as playful!
Talk Brad like you talked about your love to Jennifer.
Why can’t you talk now about the mother of your daugther? Something wrong???????
Don’t gimme actions talks louder than words shi*. Why can’t Angelina shut up then?????
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because he wants angelina to be destroyed. He keeps his silence for a reason! he doesn’t love angelina.

Thanks for that Q & A. How the reporter kept his compossure under such idiotic questions, I’ll never know. American journalism isn’t dead after all.
Is there anyway we can get the excerpts that were not included in the final Newsweek piece? It would be great if we were able to.
should we contact newsweek?
