twins too much work for Angie??

That’s what the tabloids are reporting! Rumors are rife that Angelina Jolie hasn’t been getting enough sleep and isn’t eating enough since welcoming twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, her fifth and sixth children with partner Brad Pitt. An insider revealed,

“She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twins. Angelina Jolie has been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed.”

Yup, having newborn twins plus four more other kids definitely puts your health in the dumps! Another source adds,

“She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.”

Well, I hope Angelina Jolie will follow the doctor’s orders! No good having the cutest (and most expensive) twins on earth when you’re sick =(

Brad Pitt, Maddox and Pax Thien in Venice!

Yeah, only the Jolie-Pitt boys were able to come with Daddy Brad for the Venice Film Festival. Though it was highly rumored that Angelina Jolie will make her first post-pregnancy appearance in the said festival, she was nowhere to be found during its first few days. Clad in white attire, hunky Brad Pitt and his sons, Maddox and Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, arrived in Venice for the 65th Annual Venice International Film Festival on last August 26. Enjoy their photos! ^_^

wanna get slapped by Angelina Jolie?

Then kiss her while filming! Of course, it would help if the kiss wasn’t on the script, LOL! Last December, a co-star of Angelina Jolie in The Changeling leaned over, kissed her, and got a slap. Jason Butler Harner, the actor playing with her in one scene of Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film explained:

“I try to be selective with my improvising. Clint approved. He could see it happening and he said, ‘Do it and we’ll see what happens.’ I had talked to her at the beginning of the day. We had a big scene, and we’re supposed to be coming out of our corners, so it was a ‘How do we do this?’”

However, Jason Butler Harner didn’t mention to Angelina Jolie that he’ll kiss her. Here’s how it went down: Angie was supposed to be pushing him against a wall. It was the movie’s climatic scene, and her character, Christine Collins, was supposed to be confronting his character, Gordon Stewart Northcott, and asking him, “Did you kill my son?” Then Jason swooped for the kiss and –

“She slapped me and she held me and she hit me and it was great. She totally went with it. She’s really smart. She’s beautiful, but she’s really smart, and she’s a great actress.”

Of course, in any given day, it would be great to be kissed by Angelina Jolie - slap or no slap, LOL!

Brangelina eligible for $2,592.81 “nanny payment”

Man, if France can give dole outs to the rich, I would certainly relocate and have my babies there! LOL! According to reports, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are technically eligible for a “nanny payment” of $975.84 a month, not to mention an “orphan allowance” of $508.97 for each of their three adopted children. The grand total, $2,592.81, would be payable by check each month. The sum is part of a financial package waiting for the Jolie-Pitt family at Brignoles Town Hall, close to their manor house home in the south of France. The Town Hall was one of the first places that Brad Pitt went to after arriving in France — there, he registered his family to make sure they were known to local medical services. This means all of the family are now listed on official state records, thus allowing them to enjoy the financial benefits available.

If you’re wondering why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are eligible to receive benefits despite earning close to $40 million dollars a year, its coz many of the most generous French benefits are not means-tested nor income related. Confirming that the couple were now established members of the community and so eligible for benefits, Correns mayor Michaël Latz said:

“They are ordinary and very kind. They eat like us, they live like us and they are very interested in the organic food of Correns. They decided to move here after visiting other homes in the region.”

However, a spokeswoman for the Brignoles council said:

“We do not discuss individual benefits cases, but can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”

Brad Pitts photographs Angie and family for W mag

WOW!!! Maybe being a photographer is next on the hunky actor’s agenda after being a charity organizer and architect! According to an exclusive report by Fashion Week Daily, Brad Pitt has apparently photographed Angelina Jolie and their six kids at the Chateau Miraval in the South of France last week for the November cover of W magazine. This is Brad’s first time in creating a cover though he already collaborated with friend Steven Klein to create a photo portfolio of Angelina Jolie and himself in the feature “Domestic Bliss” from the July 2005 issue of W mag. That’s the cover above. Neat huh?? ^_^ Photography has been a longtime hobby of Brad Pitt, and he has appeared on the March 2007 cover of Interview wielding a camera. Angelina Jolie also reportedly gave him a Littman 45 single camera as a birthday gift.

Angelina Jolie trying to lose weight fast

As with all celebrities, weight control is also a must for the Wanted actress. Though she looked uber-gorgeous with all her pregnancy fats, Angelina Jolie is now racing to get her pre-pregnancy body back. According to a report from Life & Style, the mother of six isn’t married to Brad Pitt, but she still wants to look like a trophy wife for the August 27 premiere of his movie “Burn After Reading” at the Venice International Film Festival. Already, Angelina Jolie has dropped more than 30 pounds within the first 10 days of giving birth but has struggled to lose the remaining 20. As expected, it’s always the last bits of fats that are stubborn!

Running around after her other kids isn’t enough to battle the bulge so Angelina Jolie spends 45 minutes a day on the treadmill, lifts weights and takes long walks on her rented French estate. Life & Style also reports that The Changeling star is also trying to slim down by cutting back on calorie intake and avoiding red meat. Angelina Jolie now eats local fruits and veggies, organic chicken and fresh fish. She even avoided sweets like ice cream and cake at the 7th birthday party for Maddox last August 5! However, Angie still loves her fatty indulgent cheeses. She recently said,

“My only craving [during pregnancy] was cheese and milk. Still is.”

Brangelina together for life??

hello-vivienne-knox5.jpg

That’s what Angelina Jolie’s brother, James Haven, is saying! The part-time actor says that his sister has found the perfect partner in Brad Pitt, and he expects them to stay “together for life.” James Haven is convinced the famous pair will never split up because Brad has had such a positive influence on Angie’s life. He says,

Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond. I’ve never seen any sign of tension between them and if it keeps going the way it’s going, they’ll be together for life.”

Hmmm, family approval is always a good sign in any relationship! And we wish Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt the tightest relationship ever! ^_^ However, InTouch reported in their new issue that the mother of six has told Brad “not to bother” returning to their rented French home after he left to spend the night up the coast at a place owned by U2’s Bono. An insider said Angelina Jolie’s nerves were shattered and

“she has been screaming at Brad over the tiniest things.”

Yup, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s babies are already stars in their own right mere days after they were born!

Angie seeks Catwoman tips from adult star

Aside from being rumored to star in Edwin A. Salt, an espionage action movie, Angelina Jolie is also rumored to star as Catwoman in the next installment of Batman. And if tabloids are to be believed, she has apparently been asking adult movie star Tera Patrick for advice on playing the feline catty antiheroine. The two are allegedly friends. A source told the New York Post newspaper:

“Tera and Angelina are friends and keep in touch via email. They have a girl-talk thing going. After seeing reports that she’ll land the lead role, Angelina asked Tera what she thought. Tera had such insights into the role that Angelina cracked, ‘You should do it’.”

The 33-year old actress has also been approached to star in The Thomas Crown Affair 2 alongside Pierce Brosnan - a role for which movie bosses want her to put on weight.

Jon Voight fights back!

jon-voight-rant.jpg

After Roseanne Barr insulted Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and her father Jon Voight, the aging actor ranted back via Extra. Here is Jon’s response to Roseanne below:

“Answer to Roseanne Barr’s Rant:

We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents.

Her parents responded to the accusation by going on the air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.

Her defaming of our National Anthem in 1990 gave us insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing.

My allegiance to Senator McCain becomes stronger with any assault that tries to deter my loyalty to him.

I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind).

-Jon Voight

Is it hilarious or what?? For sure dirty laundry and skeletons from the closet from both sides will be out soon!
