Angie’s take on nannies and parents

More from Vanity Fair magazine’s interview with Angelina Jolie on their July issue. Read on! =)

The “Kung Fu Panda” star’s take on nannies:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Belgium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”

Angelina Jolie on artists as parents:
“Artists raise their kids differently. We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

Angelina Jolie loves being pregnant!

In the July issue of Vanity Fair magazine (out this week!!), Angelina Jolie shares her innermost feelings about life, love, marriage, and her career with writer Rich Cohen. An exclusive preview of her frank remarks about birth, babies, nannies, and more is at the magazine’s website (and below). The full story of the Angelina Jolie cover will be available on VF.com tomorrow so watch out for it! =)

Her take on being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

Angelina Jolie on Shiloh’s birth:
“We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

Brangelina having twin GIRLS!

angelina-jolie-twin-girls.jpgLast March, it was widely reported that Angelina Jolie will be having fraternal twins. We even posted about it HERE. But now, the tune has changed — according to Star Magazine, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be adding not a boy and a girl but TWO GIRLS to their growing brood in July! A family insider revealed,

Brad can’t wait — he absolutely adores little girls. And Angelina just loves seeing him and the other kids so excited and happy.”

Aww! Isn’t that sweet?? =) The bad news: Angelina Jolie is having late pregnancy complications. One source related a disturbing event,

Angie got out of bed and was halfway across the room when she passed out and fell. Brad heard her hit the floor — hard — and he rushed to her side. She came around pretty quickly, and the medical team that has been traveling with her, a doctor and a nurse, got her back into bed and started checking her vitals.”

SO SCARY!!! =( So guys, do pray that Angie will be well til the end of her pregnancy okay??

why Brangelina deserves the “most influential” title

brangelina_independent-spirit9.jpg
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were ranked No. 21 on TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. And their good pal George Clooney wrote an article explaining how and why they were deserving of the honor. Here’s a snippet of the article:

“As a team, actors Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have served as our goodwill ambassadors worldwide. They brought help to Pakistan in 2005, after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless. They have tended to the poor and sick in Africa. And they’ve raised global awareness—and contributed $1 million of their own money—for the victims of atrocities in Darfur. Brad co-founded Not on Our Watch, an organization set up to focus global attention on Darfur and other hot spots.

Angelina has worked tirelessly through the United Nations on behalf of refugees around the world, touring border camps in Africa, Asia and Latin America and lobbying on Capitol Hill. The couple cares for three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.”

Shiloh on OK! cover =)

shilohjoliepitt_okcover.jpgIsn’t she adorable?? The first biological child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is now 22 months old, just 2 months shy of entering that “terrible two” phase. And pretty soon, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt will be a big sister.. Sigh, how fast she grew! =) Here’s what OK! wrote about Shiloh:

Her parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, are two of Hollywood’s most desired stars, and yet they’re working hard to make sure their little girl grows up to be a woman of the world. With a home base away from the shining light of Tinseltown, Shiloh spends her days with her three siblings, Maddox, Pax and Zahara, in New Orleans, helping dad build homes for Hurricane Katrina victims in the lower ninth ward.

But don’t think life is all work for this golden-haired toddler. Last March, Shiloh visited her dad on the New Orleans set of his movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and enjoyed carriage rides through the Big Easy with Grandma Pitt, and recently got to pick out armfuls of toys with mom during a trip to NYC’s famed FAO Schwarz toy store.

Brangelina’s upcoming fraternal twins!

brangelina_twins.jpgAccording to In Touch, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are REALLY having twins — and it’s a boy and girl at that! Cool! =) The gorgeous couple reportedly visited Angie’s OB-GYN, Dr. Jason Rothbart, for an ultrasound last Friday. An insider revealed,

“Because she took fertility treatments to help her ovulate, her babies are fraternal. They’re ecstatic. She can’t wait.”

Brad and Angie are now making new plans for their upcoming family of eight. The pregnant actress wants Dr. Rothbart to deliver her babies abroad again, this time in France. The source adds,

“It means a lot to her to deliver her babies with him, no matter where in the world she gives birth.”

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is the queen!

shiloh.jpgThat is, in terms of how much she brought in for her first magazine cover. If you can remember, the first biological kid of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was paid $4.1 million by People for their cover in the summer of 2006. The money was of, course, donated to African children’s charities. According to a People spokesman,

Brad and Angelina are two of the biggest stars today and obviously they sell whatever they do. Everyone is interested in their life.”

Even the magazine cover featuring Shiloh’s adopted brother Pax got $2 million! That’s more than what Christina Aguilera’s baby got or even Gwen Stefani’s Kingston. Just imagine how much the next Brangelina baby would get! That is, if there’s truth to the rumors that Angelina Jolie is indeed pregnant again. OK! magazine’s deputy editor Katie Caperton said,

“I can’t even put a number on it. That’s huge. The fascination that people have with Brad and Angelina and that family is priceless.”

Angie on cover of OK!

angie_okmag.jpgThe latest issue of OK! features a glowing Angelina Jolie at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, with Jennifer Aniston by her side. The cover’s title? Angie’s Joy, Jen’s Pain — in reference to the Beowulf actress rumored pregnancy and Jen’s reaction to it. Inside the mag, a friend of the former Friends star reveals,

“It’s been three years since they split [Jen and Brad Pitt] But she’s still so far from getting over him, it’s tragic.”

Jen, Brad and Angie are all supposed to attend a charity event charity at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday, Feb. 23rd. And tongues are wagging that there will be a major showdown between the two ladies in Brad’s life. Woohoo! Sources have told OK! that Jen is preparing for the moment she’ll have to say hello to Angelina Jolie or, as she chooses to put it,

“that person who ruined my life.”

Ouch! But I’m sure, Angie won’t take this sitting down!
