OlderAngelina Jolie: Brad Pitt Has So Much Love In His Eyes
Angelina Jolie recently gave Australia’s Herald Sun a heartwarming interview:
Has Brad seemed particularly taken with the twins? He’s just so happy and having twins is something neither of us ever expected and I think that makes it all the more special for us both. When I see how much love is in Brad’s eyes for the twins and for all our children — it’s a very moving experience for me. I never wanted to become pregnant and have children that way unless I had come to know Brad and see how loving he was with Maddox and Pax. So that was a big step for me.
How do you stay so positive? By doing the things which are important and meaningful to you and not worrying about the rest. How can I complain about anything when I wake up in the morning and I’m surrounded by so much love with Brad and our children and the feeling that comes from sharing my life with them?
What about teaching your kids about religion and culture? I want to teach them about all religions, and I’m trying to find a way to do that. And when it comes to the subject of adoption, like when my daughter, who’s African, wants her hair to look straight like mummy’s . . . and I look for a Barbie that’s African, and the African Barbie has straight hair! And you know, why has Disney never made a film with an African-American princess?

Go Jolie-Pitts!
Huvane staffers outed!! Hahahaha! Sorry, tell the TV bish Maniston to stay home - take care of Owen Wilson, who’s no doubt on suicide watch from your famewh-ring antics publically horsewhipping Angelina Jolie all over again to generate interest in HIS dog movie. How mortifying. I see why quality actors like Joaquin Phoenix are leaving HW..it really is a soulless fake profession on many levels, particularly the PR marketing one, many genuine and authentic people would not find it worth it. I always thought Phoenix was a genuine honest person as well.
30 Rock”: Jennifer Aniston ruins everything
By Eric Rezsnyak Comments (1)
Season 3 of “30 Rock” really should be subtitled “The Coming of the Guest Stars.” Since the show’s return three weeks ago we’ve had Megan Mullally (granted, not a huge name, but an NBC favorite from her stint as Karen on “Will & Grace”), Oprah Winfrey (OPRAH!), and now Jennifer Aniston. Next week it’s Steve Martin, and Salma Hayek is reportedly coming in for a guest arc in the near future.
I have no objection to guest stars, and “30 Rock” in particular has used them well - until now. Jennifer Aniston’s spot last night was terrible, and the entire show felt off. It was like the actors - Tina Fey in particular - just weren’t into it. (Her energy was so low, I have to wonder if this was filmed while she was doing double-duty as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live.”) Even the always-reliable Alec Baldwin seemed to be going through the motions. It was joyless, and the whole thing seemed like a LOT of work. I was exhausted just watching the thing.
Aniston played Liz and Jenna’s former Chicago roommate, a deranged sexpot that Liz correctly described as “full-on ‘Fatal Attraction.’” It sounds like a meaty, gonzo role, and I think Aniston probably did the best she could with it, but…Jennifer Aniston just isn’t a very good actress. I mean, I loved Rachel on “Friends.” She was my favorite character. And I think Aniston is largely pretty good in romantic comedies. But this role called for some over-the-top stuff, and Aniston played it so safe that, to me, it felt very forced. I never believed for a second that she was crazy. Annoying, yes. Possibly a little slow. But crazy? Not really.
I should confess that my personal feelings on Aniston probably colored my opinion somewhat. I just don’t get America’s continued fascination with the woman and her romantic life, or lack thereof. Consider that Aniston hasn’t had a hit movie in more than two years (”The Break-Up,” which was surprisingly successful) and instead has a string of duds to her name. She’s got a dog movie coming out for Christmas. A DOG MOVIE. And yet almost every week her face is splashed across 80 percent of the tabloids at the supermarket with a headline along the lines of “Jen’s pain” or something. She got dumped three years ago. And she’s STILL milking it in the newest Vogue. I can appreciate a bad-news buffet as much as the next schadenfruedic jackass, but enough is enough, lady.
“Marriage didn’t work out.”
Angie’s new interview part 1
ANGELINA Jolie may be playing an anguished mother in her latest film The Changeling, but in this exclusive interview, she explains why she’s never been happier.
Angelina Jolie is in a buoyant mood as she sweeps into New York for the premiere of her new film The Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.
“This is such a beautiful time for me,” the elegant, green-eyed actor says.
“When I look back on my life, I never really believed that I would find this kind of happiness on so many different levels.
“I think I trained myself to expect less, but meeting Brad and being with him has shown me that sometimes it just takes the right circumstances for you to meet a good man who enjoys being with you and working towards the same goals in life. Brad has always been there for me.”
A year after her appearance in the harrowing A Mighty Heart, Jolie delivers another remarkable performance in The Changeling, a searing drama based on the true story of a child’s disappearance in 1928 and his mother’s struggle to discover the truth.
Jolie plays Christine Collins, a telephone company supervisor who refuses to be pressured by corrupt Los Angeles police into going along with a scheme wherein her missing son is “returned” to her.
Unfortunately, the child is not her real son but a substitute paraded in front of the press by a police force desperate to curry public favour.
The 33-year-old Jolie has not only managed to sustain her work for UNICEF amid her film career; she is now the proud mother of six children, three adopted (Maddox, Pax and Zahara), and three fathered by Brad Pitt (Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox).
You look great. How did you get back in shape so quickly after giving birth to the twins?
I have six kids and I’m breast-feeding!
As a mother, how hard was it for you to play a woman whose worst nightmare is realised when her son goes missing in The Changeling?
It was difficult because the idea of one’s son being kidnapped is one of the worst things any parent can imagine. The loss of a child and not knowing where they are or what is happening to them is probably the absolute worst thing in the world. As a mother, it was harder for me imagining that somebody was abusing my child while they were wondering why mummy wasn’t coming to save them.
What made it particularly troubling for me to put myself into this woman’s head was my own relationship with my son Maddox. I just couldn’t shake the thought of him through the whole film.
Why Maddox particularly?
Because Maddox is my eldest and also because he says things that are similar to what the boy in the film says.
I also talk to Maddox the same way I talk to the little boy. So when Brad and I saw the movie we noticed strange similarities, especially when the boy says: “Am I too heavy?” Mad says that all the time. And I tell him: “Oh, never! But one day you’re going to carry me!”
How are you handling being a working mother?
I have a big, wonderful family and I get to travel and be creative with my films and that’s tremendously rewarding and satisfying.
Maniston’s appearance on 30 rock last night BOMBED…3rd place & the ratings were DOWN from last week’s show!
[ABC took the lead at 9 p.m. with a 5.9 for “Grey’s,” while CBS slid to second with a 5.1 for “CSI.” NBC was third with a 3.8 for “The Office” (4.0) and “30 Rock” (3.6), Univision and Fox tied for fourth at 2.3, Univision for more “Latin Grammys” and Fox for more “Nightmares,” with CW sixth with a 1.6 for “Supernatural.”]

Cliniqua.. you think that Ange’s headlines are kind of tangential on JJ, i thought the same and first I was under the impression that maybe he was trying out his wicked sense of humor .. but now i think its Jen’s PR team dictating this… You know you can only pretty up a crow so much.. time will tell.. Jolie is the real deal.. and the GG noms are on dec 11.. fingers crossed..
OT
I can very well relate with Jen’s feelings when Oprah was rubbing her age in her face. Jen was indignant when she heard the word 40! LOL. One year ago, I was nearing 30, I really couldn’t get around to telling people that I was turning 30! I was in denial. Who would want to turn 30? For me, that age was a portal to the antiquities. Well, I was unhappy then. I haven’t met the love of my life then. Now I’m content. And I’m looking forward to getting old.
Jen’s non-acceptance of the inevitable only shows that she was like me one year ago.
Oprah: Do you wish Brad and his family well?
Aniston: Of course I do. He has done some amazing things in the last couple of years. He seems to be doing great. I’m very proud of him.
Angie’s new interview part 2
I’ve always loved being an actor and the ability to tell stories and express emotions and making a connection with audiences.
The publicity that comes with that is a reality of the business and it’s only the paparazzi that is really a bother sometimes when Brad and I are with our children.
How do you stay so positive?
By doing the things which are important and meaningful to you and not worrying about the rest. How can I complain about anything when I wake up in the morning and I’m surrounded by so much love with Brad and our children and the feeling that comes from sharing my life with them?
Does having twins make things a little more complicated now?
It’s a little more stressful in terms of your time because you have two very tiny babies wanting your attention. But it’s also so beautiful to be part of that.
Once you have three or four children, having a few more isn’t going to alter your lifestyle that much.
Brad and I have found a way to organise our time with the children and so we stick to that. It’s also a fascinating new experience for me to have twins and look after them and have the other children seem so curious about them.
A family is a social unit in its own way and watching the children interact is part of your role as a mother.
Has Brad seemed particularly taken with the twins?
He’s just so happy and having twins is something neither of us ever expected and I think that makes it all the more special for us both. When I see how much love is in Brad’s eyes for the twins and for all our children — it’s a very moving experience for me. I never wanted to become pregnant and have children that way unless I had come to know Brad and see how loving he was with Maddox and Pax. So that was a big step for me.
How will you integrate the twins into the life of your family?
It’s a matter of indulging the curiosity of the other children and making them feel part of the whole process. Things like helping prepare bottles or changing diapers or doing little things that help me. It all works. Kids are great at adapting.
What about teaching your kids about religion and culture?
I want to teach them about all religions, and I’m trying to find a way to do that. And when it comes to the subject of adoption, like when my daughter, who’s African, wants her hair to look straight like mummy’s . . . and I look for a Barbie that’s African, and the African Barbie has straight hair! And you know, why has Disney never made a film with an African-American princess?
The Changeling opens in Australia in February. http://www.news.com.au/he…,24646562-5006023,00.html
Such beautiful words from a beautiful person.
ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW TO SHUT THE EX UP FOR GOOD IS FOR MISS JOLIE & MR PITT TO GET MARRIED.
It’ll be so lovely all the children around them as they tie the knot. Please let my dream come true.
And she’s right about the african american princess and disney too

Oprah’s appearance was watched by more viewers, 8 million than aniston’s, which only had 7.5 million viewers! Lol, Aniston sucks, even with all the publicity she had this week, 30 rock’s rating still went down!!!!!

Baby name of the day: Shiloh
The baby name of the day is… Shiloh.
Shiloh is a biblical place name and means “gift for him” or “he is to be sent,” according to babynamesworld.com. It can also be spelled Shilo.
Traditionally a boys name, but can also be used for girls, as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt chose to do. Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt is arguably the most famous Shiloh of all time.
This interview is messy from a lot of different articles from the past. LAME!
Brang-e-l00nies are fond of saying “Breakups are just life, they just happen,that is just the way it is. ” So when Karma bites Ang in the butt big time, y’all can remember that.
SPREAD THE WORD @ 11/14/2008 at 12:50 pm
It did not bomb. Let’s not be like fanistons. 30 Rock does not get big ratings. But it’s premiere got something like an 9. But it does show that Aniston is not a pull. It shows that all the hype about Rachel coming back to tv did not make that big an impact on the shows ratings. Maybe they should have had Sarah Palin star in the show or had Aniston talk about Angelina on the show.
God to see Anistons appearance didn’t help the show. I made sure not to watch that **** and I like 30 rock. I did not give Oprah any ratings either. F’ em!
I read something today that said Angelina is the least controlled celebrity . I like that about her.

I think an addendum to that title should be, ‘Jennifer Aniston Ruins Everything…and she almost ruined Brad Pitt’s LIFE.’
:lol:
No surprise that she sucked. But I am surprised that someone (and a LOT of other people now) are FINALLY calling her out.
x was bad in 30 rock @ 11/14/2008 at 12:48 pm
Annoying, yes. Possibly a little slow. But crazy? Not really.
..
Perfect! It’’s good that some people in the media are starting to express what we already know about Aniston rather than following the talking points of her being “golden”
What bad photo of her, she looks like MILEY , puke!
Could never imagine that such a beauty could be so sweet, lovely and sensitive.
Angelina Jolie is the most interesting woman I have ever known. Attractive outside but more beautiful inside.
Angie is such a loving mother, and this video sets the standard for motherhood today.

Hey, mickey, Angelina is not a teenager, she has been through breakups before and she picked herself up and moved the f on. That’s what she’ll do again if it happens… Brad will be stuck with some ugly ass tattoos.
