One thing that Angie can’t do..

..is cook! Yup, superwoman that she is (award-winning actress, mother of six, UN ambassador, charity worker, etc), Angelina Jolie just can’t cook! Hehe! And this isn’t just gossip, the ‘Wanted’ actress admitted it herself that she has never been able to master any culinary skills. Angie shared,

“I don’t cook - it’s the one thing I can’t do!”

And so it’s a good thing that her partner, Brad Pitt, loves to cook and is in-charge of family cooking. Angelina Jolie explained,

“When I get away from filming and doing interviews, I join Brad and the children to have breakfast or lunch. Brad is always thinking about the kids and what to feed them for breakfast. For him it’s the most important meal of the day.”

Angie makes action movies for her kids

As much as we enjoy her stunts and stuff, Angelina Jolie’s action movies aren’t made for us viewers — it’s for her family and six kids when they will be able to watch them with pride when they’re older. The mother of twins said, “I want to make them proud.” She has starred in action blockbusters like Lara Croft: Tombraider, Mr and Mrs Smith and Wanted. Angelina Jolie even insists on doing all her own stunts in the films so her kids will learn that they can do anything. She shares,

“If there’s a chance I will get killed, I will double-check my harness! I’m responsible these days because of my children. But, at the same time, I know that they’ll see one of my stunts when they’re older, so it gives me all the more reason to do cool things now.”

Angelina Jolie on Playboy cover soon?

If Hugh Hefner (founder of Playboy magazine) had his way that is! Apparently, the aging mogul has set on Angelina Jolie even way before.. And that despite being surrounded daily by lots of surgically-enhanced beauties, Hugh Hefner insists that wants the natural look when it comes to his cover girls – and he feels that Angelina Jolie, along with fellow actress Scarlett Johansson, fits the bill perfectly. The aging mogul explains to Pop Tarts:

“We don’t go for glamour - what we are looking for is a very natural girl-next-door look. I think that’s what set things at the very beginning - what set the Playmate centrefolds apart.”

Anyway, way back in 2006, Hugh Hefner named Angie as his dream model. Before she gave birth to daughter Shiloh, he said: “I’m hoping to bump into Angelina Jolie to get her to do Playboy after she has had the baby.”

Brangelina are the Most Powerful stars!

And that’s according to the Guinness Book of World Records! Angelina Jolie is the Most Powerful Actress while Brad Pitt is the Most Powerful Actor!! The Wanted actress jointly held the title with Jennifer Aniston last year while Brad ended Tom Cruise’s four-year reign as the Most Powerful Actor. In the Guinness World Records 2009 Edition, a new proprietary rating system was calculated based on a 12-month matrix of Google, Yahoo and Factiva searches (Angelina Jolie topped of course); IMDBPro news stories and “Star Meter” readings, as well as Forbes earnings and Celebdaq share price, at the time of press.

Craig Glenday, Editor-In-Chief of Guinness World Records, explains: “In previous editions, we’ve bestowed celebrity records based on rankings from websites such as Forbes. Given the obvious interest in entertainment categories we decided to establish our own rating system comprising data from multiple trusted sources for Guinness World Records 2009 to use going forward.” Congratulations Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! ^_^

Brangelina donates $2 million dollars!!

According to reports, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation just donated $2 million to the Global Health Committee to make a help center in Ethiopia, and this will be named after their daughter Zahara (she was adopted from Ethiopia). Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are doing this for the kids affected by tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. The center will be modeled after Maddox Chivan Children’s Center in Cambodia (named after their oldest son), where children receive medical, education and social services. Angelina Jolie said in a statement:

“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease.”

Brad Pitt, meanwhile, said; “It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission. The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable.”

“The Changeling” trailer now out!

Check out Angelina Jolie’s new movie under Clint Eastwood! She looks sooo good wearing the 1920s outfits ^_^ The Changeling also stars John Malkovich. The plot summary is below:

The film is set in 1920s Los Angeles and is based upon the Wineville Chicken Murders, an infamous kidnapping and murder case that occurred from 1928 through 1930 and received nationwide attention in the United States. When the son of Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) is returned to her after being kidnapped, she suspects that the child is not her own. After being vilified as an unfit mother, Christine confronts the city authorities and corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department in order to find out the truth.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt: “It’s my turn!”

After bringing Maddox and Pax Thien to Venice, Brad Pitt next brought along with him his daughter Zahara at the Cannes Airport. Sporting a white button-up shirt overtop a white A-shirt teamed with grey trousers, white sneakers, and a black fedora, the Jesse James actor gave a quick wave before heading inside. Moments later, Brad and Zahara were spotted hopping a ride on a golf cart-style baggage carrier to their awaiting private jet.

And that’s being a mother to her rainbow family of six in France =) Despite reports that Angelina Jolie gets hysterical (and therefore not calm) when she can’t see her children minute to minute, her comment to Japan’s Elle magazine refuted this. The mom of six told the magazine,

“I feel like I have found the calmest place in life.”

Awww, too sweet Angie! ^_^ Also, the 33-year old actress believes she has become a stronger woman after becoming a mother to twins. Angelina Jolie said,

“I have become a lot stronger than I used to be. Although it is strange to say myself, I think I have become a better woman.”

Angelina Jolie fears her kids will be kidnapped

Ever since after the birth of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, Angelina Jolie and her rainbow family has been keeping a low profile because the actress fears that her children will be kidnapped. According to tabloid reports, the mother of six is refusing to “leave” the French chateau she shares with Brad Pitt. The Sydney Morning Herald quoted a Jolie-Pitt family friend as saying:

“If one of them is unaccounted for for more than 30 seconds she gets hysterical.”

And according to Grazia, Angelina Jolie is a “virtual recluse” and that she “has not been seen in public for at least two months.” The publication also reported that Angie “has long struggled to maintain a healthy weight” and “wants Brad to cut all ties with anything to do with Jen (Jennifer Aniston).”
