Actress/goddess Angelina Jolie got the shock of her life when she found out that she and Brad had gotten pregnant, she tells the United Kingdom’s Elle Magazine.

“I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant. I’m the one that got knocked up. Some men have kids when they’re not ready and some men know they want to take it seriously and wait until they’re absolutely ready.”

The actress also tells the reputable British rag that she at first felt a closer sense of protection toward her adopted children:

“I think I feared so much more for Mad and Z because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to fear for her… ”

Supposedly, Angie goes on to state that she now realizes that she owes all of her children an equal amount of time. All of this comes right on the heels of calling the kid a “Blob” just a few days ago. Perhaps Angie isn’t Mommie Dearest after all?

In further info from her interview with Gala magazine, Angelina Jolie has expanded on her desire to adopt more children with Brad Pitt. She says that it’s important that they remain as attached as possible to their three current children, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh but that there’s definitely enough love for more children in their future.

But is there enough money? Angelina says, “Brad and I want to continue to adopt, but keeping a big family uses up a lot of money.”

This is true enough but many regular old folks manage to do it. Maybe regular folks do it because they don’t have to pay for nannies and personal entourages, though.

Perhaps someone can send the couple some frugal tips like how to clip coupons, shop sales, and do bulk cooking to help save some money so that they can work their millions-per-movie salaries into affording to provide for their expanding family.

After weeks and weeks of criticism across the globe in regards to Madonna’s shifty adoption of David, a Malawi boy who still has a father, Angelina Jolie – perhaps one of the best known advocates of international adoption – has finally spoken out. It seems she can see both sides of the situation, demonstrating her diplomacy.

On the one hand, she is “horrified by the attacks [Madonna has] been subjected to” according to an interview with Gala magazine in France. She points out that David’s happiness is the most important factor.

On the other hand, she does still hold some criticism herself. Although Jolie has adopted two children internationally – Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia – she did so in countries with the legal rights to international adoption. Jolie firmly stated that Madonna was aware of the fact that Malawi does not allow international adoption and that she herself would never take a child from a country where such procedures are illegal.

It may all be moot in the end. The Malawian government and child welfare folks are quite satisfied with Madonna’s parenting of David after close monitoring. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt has announced that he and Jolie are hoping to add to their family; no word yet on whether that means another biological baby like Shiloh, or whether they will seek out a child in need of a loving family. Still, if it’s the latter I’m sure we can expect that their adoption will be a legal one and that their fourth child will not come from Malawi.

Well Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are moving again, this time out of their Malibu beachfront paradise in favor of Brad’s enormous “three-property compound” in the trendy L.A. Los Feliz neighborhood.

According to Hollywood.com Brad purchased the property back in 1994 and has been renovating it ever since. Now I’m sure he didn’t know it back then, but recently Brad has “turned the compound into a Neverland-type place.” It’s intended as a “kids’ paradise,” with a ballroom converted to a giant playroom and a pool in the center of the main house. Brad intends to make this the primary residence for the family, as opposed to splitting their time between L.A. and Malibu.

I’m not saying celebrities have it all easy, but how wonderful to have choices like that. “Hmmm, which do we like better? Our ‘Malibu mansion’ or ‘L.A. Neverland?” And talk about awesome birthday parties for those kids! A playroom the size of a ballroom? I’m in my 20s and would have a blast!

It looks like Brad Pitt has a bit more responsibility lately as he takes the kids to work with him. His adopted children, with Angelina Jolie, Maddox and Zahara have been seen being dropped off at the daycare center inside the Warner Brothers lot in Los Angeles while Mr. Pitt goes ahead and films “Ocean’s 13″.

And from what I have read, don’t even try to say “hello” to Brad when he is picking up or dropping of the children, as the staff of the daycare are very protective of Brad and the kids.

Why is he using the Warner Bros. daycare service at all? Surely he must be getting paid a fair bit to star in “Ocean’s 13″. Can’t he afford personal care for Maddox and Zahara? I am surprised Angelina Jolie lets Brad get away with this. And if you thought the daycare was just for celebrities, you’d be wrong. It is open to everyone from Warner Bros. secretaries to executives.

According to Britain’s Grazia magazine Brad Pitt has been telling Angelina Jolie to “Stop
smothering me!”

Angelina is currently living in their mansion in Malibu with Shiloh, Maddox, and Zahara. Stories have been circulating about Brad partying with co-stars Matt Damon and George Clooney during the filming of Oceans Thirteen. Angelina has reportedly been asking friends to report back to her with details of Brad’s every move.

The Grazia also says that Angelina “has been telling friends she’s unhappy because they talked about not working for a year after Shiloh was born.”

I wonder if these rumors are true. If they are, how sad. Granted, I was on the “Jennifer Team” during all the Jennifer/Brad breakup controversy, but nobody needs this kind of drama with a newborn.

Into a wax figure, that is — Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has been awarded with a wax figure of her likeness, located in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City.

A first for the museum, the wax figure replica of the infant took two weeks to create and was placed with the figures of her parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

“Even though she’s just a few months old, Shiloh is already an iconic figure in world popular culture,” said general manager Janine DiGioacchino.

What’s more, the museum is promising to send 1 dollar to UNICEF for each Pitt-Jolie family photo visitors to the wax museum buy. Apparently, the move is to honor the famous couple’s dedication to charity.

Full story here.

“It really changes your perspective on the world,” Pitt, 42, said of having children. Interviewed on “The Today Show” Monday morning, Pitt reported that he shares Angelina Jolie’s beliefs regardining humanitarian issues and that his children have played a vital role in changing his attitude towards life.

His children, Maddox, 4, Zahara, 1 and 6-week old daughter Shiloh have helped Pitt take the focus off himself and his own needs. “I’m so tired of thinking about myself,” he said.

As far as parenting goes, Pitt couldn’t be happier. “It’s a true joy, [and] a very profound love.” He even admitted that with Shiloh, if he “can get a burp out of that little thing, [he] feels such a sense of accomplishment.”

Ah, parenthood. Read more about Pitt’s thoughts on children as well as his humanitarian causes here.

From The Post Chronicle:

An arrest has been made in the case of the stolen Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt photographs. Yes, ‘Brangelina’ have their baby shower pictures back.

Guagenti indicated yesterday that she wasn’t at liberty to go into the details of the arrest, which allegedly took place on Tuesday in California.

My instincts tell me Jen was behind this. I bet Vince put her up to it. He’s so wacky!
