YUCK! How icky is that?? But then our favorite Hollywood actress has never been an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams, hehe! According to reports, Angelina Jolie dreamed of this unusual career before becoming famous as an actress. The mother of four went so far as training for being a funeral director during her teens! Yikes! Angelina Jolie shared,

“When I was younger, I went to a funeral, and I didn’t think it was enough of a celebration of the life of the person. I thought I could do better. I wanted to study, so I got a home course when I was about 14. I did a mail-order degree.”

But thank god nothing came out of it! But I must say, Angelina Jolie really has an interest in the macabre. Aside from this funeral thingy, she and ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton also wore vials of each other’s blood around their necks during their marriage. Is that icky or what??

The venerable former first lady (and now presidential Democratic candidate) is “thrilled” that she could possibly be related to Angelina Jolie and Madonna – reportedly two of her distant cousins from a recent genealogy study. Hilary Clinton told Access Hollywood,

“I have no idea whether there is any truth to it or not, but they’re both strong independent women. They also have been very quick to give back to charities and humanitarian causes, so it would be an honor to be related to them.”

Wow! What a wonderful thing to say! I’m sure Angelina Jolie (and also Madonna) are smiling ear to ear with her compliment =) Earlier, Barack Obama (Mrs. Clinton’s contender) has spoken out about being related to Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie’s current partner. Read all about it HERE.

The reason why the Michael Clayton actor remained childless is coz of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s rambunctious bunch. George Clooney says seeing his close friend become a father and be with his children has reminded him why he doesn’t want his own offspring. LOL! George Clooney related,

“Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I’m definitely not a candidate for father of the year! If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angie and ask them to stay with me, just to remind me why I’m so happy without.”

George Clooney also said he is unlikely to invite the Jolie-Pitts family to stay in his villa on Italy’s Lake Como this summer because he doesn’t have the room to accommodate the ever-expanding brood. He added to Britain’s Heat magazine:

“I really don’t have enough space for all their children. Also, Brad and Angelina need a security deal of about 20 guys wearing dark suits and carrying walkie-talkies, and that tends to attract attention.”

Trent over at PITNB reports that Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Maddox, Pax and Zahara went movie-watching at the Cinemark Movie Theater at Southpark Meadows in Austin, Texas over the weekend. Shiloh was as usual missing in action. Guess she’s not into movie, lol! So what did the Jolie-Pitts family watched? If you check the theater’s show listings, kid friendly titles include Horton Hears A Who and Nim’s Island. So they must have watched either of the two — which is which? We do not know! =)

Earlier this month, the Leatherheads star was rumoured to be the godfather of pregnant star Nicole Kidman’s unborn child. He denied it, and now George Clooney is being rumored to become godfather to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s unborn offspring. It all came about coz the dashing actor reportedly joked to paparazzi outside a Los Angeles restaurant that he had been asked by Brangelina to be godfather to their fifth child. However, George Clooney’s representative Stan Rosenfield shrugged off the allegations, insisting that the actor was playing up to gossip mongers. He told the press,

“He was just having a joke.”

Vadim Perelman, who directed the acclaimed House of Sand and Fog, has been planning Atlas Shrugged’s movie adaptation for years but with no visible results. Now, ComingSoon.net has confirmed that even though there seems to have been no progress in the past few months, Atlas Shrugged is still moving forward. And Angelina Jolie is still set to star in the movie! Woohoo! =) The delay was apparently coz of Mr. Perelman is polishing up the script. The movie is set to go in production this December, and Angelina Jolie is set to play Dagny Taggart, a powerful railroad executive who must cope when all the “great minds” of the world go on strike. Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s massively long, pro-capitalist novel that attracted devoted followers and haters ever since it was published.

The father and daughter are still estranged but that didn’t keep Jon Voight from admitting that he finds his daughter Angelina Jolie ‘terrific’. USMagazine.com reports that the Hollywood actor said he looks up to Angie and Brad for raising their family right. He says,

“People who raise children properly are heroes to me because it takes a lot of work. And when they do it with joy and love, there’s nothing more beautiful.”

Jon Voight also commended Angelina Jolie’s global charity work. The proud daddy stated,

“I think she’s terrific. God bless her!”

The grandfather of four (through Angie) also views her latest pregnancy as being wonderful, saying that he feels great the family is expanding. Jon Voight raves,

“I’m very excited, and I’m sending my love to the family. They’re getting to be a bigger family — it’s great! It’s nice to see people embracing family and loving that whole process.”

As if her bulging abdomen didn’t confirm that months ago, LOL! But this time, Angelina Jolie TALKED about the baby in the bun. Hollywood’s most celebrated humanitarian let slip her news after speaking in a Washington DC forum about the education needs of Iraqi children. Speaking after the talk, Angelina Jolie said:

“I felt kicking suddenly in the middle of the event.”

Yup, her unborn child made its presence felt! Perhaps he/she/they (if twins as widely rumored) couldn’t take being a “secret” anymore! LOL! Angelina Jolie also told People magazine that her current pregnancy “is a very special time in our lives.” Indeed it is! =)

More pictures of the radiant pregnant actress while speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations on the desperate need for education to help bring about change and hope for the Iraqi child refugees. Angelina Jolie is really beautiful! Whether she is frowning, pouting or just looking serious =)

During a speech in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, Angelina Jolie told the esteemed crowd of the Council on Foreign Relations,

“It is a fact that the best way to heal children in conflict and their trauma is to focus their minds on their future. This population we’re talking about is the future of Iraq. So to reach them now, to help deal with their trauma and refocus their minds on a possible future should absolutely be one of our top priorities.”

The very pregnant Angelina Jolie further added,

“We need these kids … to rebuild their country, to stabilize their country and eventually lead their country.”
