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?

Celebrity Man Swap

Well, you’ve heard of Wife Swapping, but what are your thoughts on Celebrity Man Swapping? Just when it looked like Mandy Moore and Wilmar V. (Don’t feel like looking up the correct spelling of his name) were on fire, the singer/actress is dipping her spoon in Nicole Ritchie’s dish of leftovers.

DJ AM, who you may remember as the ex of alleged anorexic Nicole Ritchie, has reportedly been telling pals all over the Hollywood hills that his position in the music “bidness” took a nosedive when his relationship with the “troubled” star ended. But AM’s got no reason to worry anymore, he’s found a way to stay in the midst of minor celebrities, and rumors are all over the place that the Cali based music aficionado is dating Mandy Moore.

While ex-Nicole was chilling in Mexico with her new man/Hilary Duff’s ex-man, Joel Madden, Twenty-two year old Mandy and thirty-three year old AM (Insert May/December romance gag here) have been hanging out. The pair even spent New Year’s Eve together in Miami.

“It’s really new. They’re in the beginning stages of getting to know each other,” tattles gush. “They’re very into each other. It’s very sweet.”

Demise of Another R&R Power Couple

Drew BarrymoreAww man. Reports are in that Drew Barrymore and her boyfriend of 5 years, Fabrizio Moretti, have gone belly-up. Sources say that The Strokes drummer, 26, isn’t really into the whole Hollywood lifestyle. Uhh, ok. They’ve broken up a couple of times in the past, leaving us all to wonder if this one will really stick or if it will be a whole Ross / Rachel kinda breakup.

Fab has moved out of their apartment in NYC and undoubtedly into his own place ($5 bucks says it’s somewhere in the East Village or W-burg). Drew happens to appear on the cover of February’s Harper’s Bazaar, so my advice to Fabby is to stay out of the supermarket checkout line and go cry on a big bag of Strokes money.

Say Whaaat? Manson / Von Teese Drama Keeps Getting Weirder

manson cheaterYesterday we reported the fierce pet custody battle between the recently split Marilyn Manson and his beautiful wife, pin up girl Dita Von Teese. We thought it couldn’t get any crazier; after all, it’s not every day that two kitty cats and a couple of dachshunds become the focus of a celebrity divorce. Houses in the ‘bu, luxury SUV’s and human offspring, yes. Balls of fluff, yapping pups and living beings that need their poop scooped; not so much.

Today People Magazine is reporting an even nuttier fact: Manson and 19-year-old semi-star Evan Rachel Wood are sitting in a tree (K-I-S-S-I-N-G). According to the mag:

“Dita is heartbroken, she didn’t see this coming,” says a source close to the burlesque dancer and MAC cosmetics model. “His partying contributed to the split as well.”

Manson, 38, and Wood have been friends for some time. According to his official website, Manson first met Wood when he asked her to be in his upcoming horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

In addition, she posed for a watercolor that he painted, and attended the opening of his new Hollywood art gallery, the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art, last Halloween.

“It came as kind of a shock,” Wood told Rolling Stone about being asked to pose. “I was beyond flattered.”

Lindsay Lohan, who was rumored to be Manson’s latest gal pal, must be crying all the way to AA, sobriety chip and water bottle of vodka in hand.

Do Good, Do Bad, Get Slammed Either Way

Madonna and ChildrenTurns out going on a bender in Vegas isn’t the only way to get slammed by the press.

First, Oprah took heat for opening a multi-billion dollar school for girls in South Africa. Now, the celeb Mother Theresa known as Angelina Jolie is under fire for slamming Madonna.

(Is this a slow week for celebrity news or what?)

Angelina Jolie and SonJolie, the celeb who seems to be hooked on adoption (a good thing!), told a French periodical that she questioned Madge’s choice to adopt baby David in the first place from a nation where “there is no legal framework for adoption.”

“Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born,” Jolie reportedly said in an interview published by Gala. “Personally I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is legal.”

But Jolie says she didn’t intend to criticize Madonna, and that the article put her statements out of context.

Meanwhile, little David’s reportedly doing very well — now that he’s away from the spotlight and in the care of his new parents.

Is it just me, or does this situation evoke memories of little Elian Gonzalez?

If anything, all this press over the adoptions by Angie and Madge will make celebs better informed of the potential consequences of shopping for babies in any old country.
