Jolie-Pitt family moves to Germany!

However, Angelina Jolie is still missing in action. Tsk! According to People.com, Brad Pitt, Angie and their family of six have left their French home of five months and arrived in Germany, where locals expect them to stay throughout the fall. The Jolie-Pitt‘s new address? The posh Palais Parkschloss on Wannsee Lake in Berlin. The family apparently arrived in Berlin Tuesday afternoon on a private plane. An eyewitness told People.com,

Brad lifted the kids out of the plane and brought them to the transporter. I saw him lift out Shiloh and Zahara.”

The reason for their move is that Brad Pitt is filming Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards. The Jolie-Pitt‘s new home is nearly 30,000 square feet and includes a boat dock and a helicopter pad. POSH!!!

The Changeling first poster is now out!

more Brangelina breakup rumors =(

angelina-jolie-intouch.jpgGuess you all know the saying that if there’s smoke, there’s fire. When there were “smoky rumors” of Angelina Jolie being pregnant, it turned out to be true. So, maybe, there’s truth to these Brangelina breakup rumors? =( Star Magazine reports,

“Things have become heated between Angie and Brad. Angie is volatile right now. She misses her mother (who died last year) more than ever, she’s barely eating and she feels stuck at home amid total chaos. And to make matters worse, she’s nagging Brad to the point that he uses any excuse to take off.”

Meanwhile, In Touch Weekly said a furious Angelina Jolie had threatened to end her relationship with Brad, which prompted the split reports last week. “She told Brad they were over,” the magazine reported. The reason for all these quarrels maybe because of Angie‘s supposed post-natal depression. In Touch Weekly further adds,

“He has grown used to her mood swings, so he just tries to stay cool, but it breaks his heart not being around the kids.”

Billy Bob Thornton says he’s still close to Angie

Actor-director Billy Bob Thornton says he is still close to his ex-wife Angelina Jolie and that she is one of his best friends. The two had split in 2003 after three years of marriage. The actor says he only remembers the positive aspects of their relationship and has the “utmost respect” for her. Billy Bob told Parade.com,

“I have the utmost respect for Angelina. She is a very sweet person, very talented and one of my best friends in the world.”

I wonder what Brad Pitt thinks of this.. Especially since he and Angie have been plagued by breakup rumors in recent weeks. Hmm..

Angie and Brad denies split

Numerous tabloid reports are saying that Hollywood’s most powerful couple have split up, fueled by Angelina Jolie’s non-appearance in public for the past two months while Brad Pitt appeared in several high profile events (film festivals, premieres and the likes). And the couple have taken the unprecedented step of issuing a statement declaring their relationship remains strong. Yeah, first time they reacted to breakup rumors!

Angelina Jolie’s spokesman told the Entertainment Tonight network in a statement: “The stories are absolutely not true.” After denying the split, Brangelina reportedly reunited for a “big, happy” family breakfast at their French villa. Still, that didn’t stop rumor-mongers. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton even wrote recently:

“There is an unsubstantiated rumour floating around today that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have broken up.”

Brad Pitt is a ‘great dad’ ^_^

In the recent issue of British Cosmopolitan magazine, Angelina Jolie spoke about how Brad Pitt copes with being a father to so many children. She revealed,

Brad is a great dad. It means a lot to me that I have him in my life and be there for our kids. I was prepared to raise them without a father, although I would have preferred to have a man at my side.”

Angelina Jolie shared further,

“That’s one thing I never expected when I got involved with Brad – you can’t know if a man will be a good dad without seeing him in that role. Brad is so good with my first adopted son Maddox and they have bonded in such a beautiful way that it almost makes me cry – and I never cry!”

Angie says her kids made her ‘a woman’

What a sweet thing to say! I guess motherhood and raising a family really brought out the best in Angelina Jolie eh?? =) The ‘Wanted’ actress recently admitted to British Cosmopolitan magazine that she has grown as a person since becoming a mother. The mum of six revealed,

“I love being a mom. It’s my favorite thing to do. It’s the most fun and challenging thing I have ever done, and I’ve learnt a lot about myself along the way. I have become more patient, for a start.”

Angelina Jolie also added that her kids made her a woman. She explains,

“And my kids have really made me a woman – I just didn’t know I had this softness before, this nurturing side. Also, they remind me to be silly. We play and I laugh with them. So they have taught me to be a woman, but also reminded me to be a little kid, and that’s amazing.”

Chef Jamie Oliver inspired by Brangelina to adopt

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are apparently friends with Jamie and his wife Jools, and that the chef admires the Hollywood couple for their “humbling” decision to adopt. Thus, despite having two children of his own, the celebrity chef has spoken of his wish to have a son and said he would be prepared to adopt. Jamie Oliver recently shared,

“I live at home with three girls and I need a bit of testosterone. If I can’t produce a boy I will have to adopt one. I would consider it. We have two beautiful, healthy girls and we cherish them. But I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t be great to have a boy.”

According to reports, the Olivers and the Jolie-Pitts have met before, and Jamie even cooked for Brad on a visit to England some years ago. He says of the Jolie-Pitts: “Adoption is such a selfless act and they have a lovely family environment. It’s humbling and beautiful to see. Jools would like to have another child but ther are so many vulnerable orphans out there.” Kudos to Angelina Jolie and other celebrity adoptive parents! You have made adoption a worthy endeavor!

Brad Pitt supports same-sex marriage

According to reports, Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to support gay marriage rights. Angelina Jolie‘s for-equality partner made the donation to fight Proposition 8, an initiative on California’s November ballot that would overturn the state Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex marriage. Brad Pitt said in a statement,

“Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8.”

This latest donation just came after he and Angelina Jolie announced that they had donated $2 million to help fight H.I.V./AIDS and tuberculosis in Ethiopia.

Angelina Jolie likes to keep it private

Despite giving in-depth interviews (being as open as she can) to big-name magazine, the ‘Wanted’ actress is still determined to keep some things private. Angelina Jolie revealed,

“I’m honest and I like that I don’t have to worry about what I say because I don’t have the time or energy for it. Sometimes things are taken the wrong way and it’s crazy to be misinterpreted – it does bother me.”

Angelina Jolie further added, “But there’s also a lot of people don’t know about me. People know about a tenth of my life and because it’s a certain kind of life, they assume that’s everything. But I do have my secrets.”
