Angelina and Brad's Double Date With Clint Eastwood and Wife

Karen — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 13:03:00 GMT

The power couple went out with Clint Eastwood and his wife Dina the other night, but ended up at the wrong restaurant. When they caught up with The Eastwoods across the street, the foursome were said to be taking over the world or something.

"They were all drinking the wine, but Angelina hardly took a sip. The whole group was extremely animated, clapping their hands and laughing out loud like they were old friends. Brad was overheard talking about throwing rotten eggs as a kid, and Dina was telling Brad and Angie that they should take their kids to the aquarium.

"At one point Angie got up to go to the bathroom, and you could see her pregnant stomach. She wore a loose black dress and had a scarf around her neck, but a bump was visible."

Brad took Angelina's hand to walk her to the door, then kissed her. Awwwww.

Brad Pitt Has A Teeny Peen

HerBadMother — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:29:00 GMT

That's what Juliette Lewis says, anyway.

Juliette, who dated Brad Pitt waaaaaay back in the day (and if you remember that day, you're at least as old as I am, which isn't ancient, but it is - let's say - ex-Generation) was jamming with her band at a bar in Seattle when a nosy patron asked how Brad was in the sack. Juliette was reportedly stunned silent for a moment, but then recovered to say "he was no BIG deal, if you know what I mean!"

In which case, I don't why Jen was keen to keep him, nor why Angie keeps letting him knock her up. But maybe that's why Gwyneth left him. I hear that vegans are picky about their meat.

Brad and Angelina Save a Young Fan from Being Trampled

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:03:00 GMT

When Angelina Jolie was honored at the Santa Barbara Film Festival at the Arlington Theatre, she and Brad Pitt weren't expecting to be heroes too. A throng of fans got overzealous and 8 year old Seth Mascareno was squashed against a metal railing.

The boy's mother Adeline explains, "The crush of people was just overwhelming. Angelina and Brad rushed over and she helped pull Seth under the barricade while Brad yelled for the crowd to back up.

"Then Angelina took Seth aside to make sure he was unharmed. When she was sure he was all right, she signed a Tomb Raider photo he was carrying. She stroked Seth's hair and said: 'There, there sweetheart, you're OK now.'"

What a touching moment for the young fan!

Pregnant Angelina's Crazy Cravings

According to Stuff.co.nz, Angelina's got some kooky high-calorie cravings that should help her pack on the baby weight!

A source close to Jolie said, “Angelina’s been eating onion rings with mustard and a box of chocolates in the same sitting! She loves these bars that are dark chocolate and cinnamon mixed with Mexican chillies for an added kick.”

“Angelina’s been splurging on cupcakes that Maddox and Zahara have been making. Brad has also been going out of his way to make things easier for Angelina by playing ‘Mr Mum’.

"He’s been cooking, playing with the kids and being a great father.”

Brad Pitt: Angry About False Death Threats

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:02:00 GMT

Life & Style was blasted by Brad Pitt after they published a false story about death threats made against his and Angelina Jolie's biological daughter Shiloh.

"This is absolutely not true and reckless and dangerous to put these ideas out into the world."

I seem to recall Brad Pitt talking about trying to change laws to protect children from the paparazzi. I wonder if he is still going forward with that. I sure hope so.

Jolie Shedding Light on Iraq's War Torn People: 58 Percent are CHILDREN

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:33:00 GMT

A goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie is in Iraq trying to jumpstart rescue efforts for over 2 million people displaced in the wartorn country of Iraq. It seems there are not any definitive plans in place to assist people in this situaiton. 58 percent of this some 2 million people are UNDER 12 years of age.

"There doesn't seem to be a real coherent plan to help them," said Jolie, speaking in an exclusive interview with CNN's Arwa Damon Thursday.

"There's lots of goodwill. Lots of discussion, but there seems to be a lot of talk at the moment, and a lot of pieces that need to be put together. I'm trying to figure out what they are."

"How Iraq settles in the years to come is going to affect the entire Middle East," said Jolie. "It's in our best interest to address a humanitarian crisis on this scale because displacement can lead to a lot of instability and aggression."

The full transcript of CNN's exclusive interview with Jolie is here (video also).

Angelina Jolie Pregnant With...TRIPLETS?

Angelina Jolie Has Left Brad Pitt!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:02:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie has left Brad Pitt... not for good though. Did I scare you? Aww, I'm naughty aren't I? Jolie has left though - she flew solo to Amman. Ange boarded a British Airways flight to the middle eastern city, however we're not sure why.

She could be headed to Jordan for her United Nations work or maybe it has something to do with her being pregnant with twins or triplets? Although the pregnancy theory really doesn't "fly" does it? It does make one wonder though, considering reports are claiming that Angelina is in a high risk pregnancy and you would think she wouldn't go far, especially leave the country.

I suppose we will find out at some point what the real reason for her long distance flight is. Perhaps she just needed to get away - usually Jolie and Pitt and their big crew of kids are jet setting around and dividing their time between all of their homes in the States, so maybe she was itching to take a flight?

Angelina Jolie's Baby Bump!

Angelina Jolie's Baby Bump!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:01:00 GMT

See that dress? Flowy right? And flowy means - pregnant and hiding a baby bump right? Angelina Jolie was being honored at the Santa Barbara Film Festival at the Arlington Theatre. She received the Outstanding Performance of the Year award for her work in the film A Mighty Heart.

That's awesome for her, but back to that dress - it's black on top (sliming) and patterned on the bottom (to HIDE things you want hidden, as in preggo belly) and the overall appearance, is flowy. My detective work is outstanding. I should get an Outstanding Performance of the Year award for, um, something.

Congrats Angelina Jolie on your ~~pregnancy~~ award!

Angelina's Dad On Angelina's Pregnancy: "It's Wonderful News"

HerBadMother — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:02:00 GMT

This is probably going to piss Angie off to no end, but her estranged father, Jon Voight, has been speaking to the press about her again, this time about her rumored pregnancy.

He told the New York Observer that he's excited by the prospects she might be pregnant. Rumors of Angelina's pregnancy - and that it might be twins - were stoked on Sunday when she turned up at the SAG Awards dressed in a very loose and flowy and bump-concealing vintage Hermes gown.

“It’s wonderful news that she’s having another child, if that’s true,” he told the Observer on Monday. Too bad that she won't let him see the grandchildren that she already has. He'll only get to enjoy this next one - if there is a next, or next ones, plural - through the tabloids.

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt - SEVEN Kids?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 17:06:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are going to be parents of SEVEN kids? Well if reports are true about Angelina being pregnant with twins - the couple already have four kids - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, and now it's rumored that they are adopting again!

Star magazine is claiming that the power couple have fallen in love with a girl whose parents were killed in the Katrina tragedy and want to adopt her.

An insider said, "Brad met a little girl and fell completely in love. He and Angie had already decide that their next child would be a daughter. They were originally going to adopt a girl from Africa, but now Brad is sure this child is the one."

They're looking to create their very own baseball team! Or basketball team. Or hockey team. I, um, don't know much about sports. Let's put it this way - they'll have some kind of team!

Angelina Jolie Pregnant With Twins?

Karen — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:04:00 GMT

X17online is reporting (with 100% certainty) that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins. If that's true, they'll have 6 kids! Plus whoever ELSE they apparently plan on adopting. All those kids are all so young, too. I'd say "How does she do it?" but you and I both know she has tons of money, and tons of money = nannies and housekeepers.

Still. She makes me tired just thinking about the diapers!

Brad And Angie: MORE KIDS!

HerBadMother — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:23:00 GMT

God, these two just don't stop, do they? It's like they think that they're the only two people on earth who should have babies or something.

According to Angie's brother James - yeah, the one that she frenched at the Oscars way back when she was a bad-ass who cut herself and played at incest - Angie and Brad are preparing to bring more children into their expansive brood. He says that the couple are planning a trip to Africa over Easter to visit orphanages with the hope of finding a new little sister for sons Maddox & Pax and daughters Zahara and Shiloh.

According to James, “they are creating one big family and will keep adopting as long as they are able to.”

“Angie and Brad talk about how much they have been taught by their kids. In many respects, Angie saved Zahara’s life and there are so many more children whose lives she could save and she talks about that constantly.”

Look, I don't want to sound like a picky hater, but there are BILLIONS of children whose lives could use saving. If this is really about saving lives, she and Brad could probably make a bigger dent in those numbers if they gave up a good chunk of their wealth and donated it to orphanges and child-care centres and hospitals and families who need it, rather than just scooping out one kid at a time and enrolling them in private Manhattan French schools.

Just a thought.

Zahara's Birth Mother Raped

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:32:00 GMT

The good news coming out of the Angelina's-Adoption-Gone-Bad story this week: Zahara's birth mother does not want to remove Zahara from her adoptive family. Also good: Zahara's birth mother does not have AIDS. The not-so-good? Zahara was, apparently, conceived in rape.

Mentwabe Dawit, Zahara's birth mother, told Reuters that she was attacked one evening in 2004 after a day's work at a construction site in the southern Ethiopian town of Awasa.

As she walked home in the darkness, a man approached. "He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared." The 24-year-old decided to keep the assault a secret. "I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly," she said.

Now, the fact that Zahara was conceived in rape does not in way bear upon her lovability and adorability and the extent to which she will be cherished throughout her life. Not one little bit. It's just a really, really sad detail, is all - one that underscores just how tremendously wonderful it is that such a child was given a chance at a happy life in a happy family, loved by happy parents. (If, that is, we believe that Angie and Brad are happy. Whatever the case, I think that they're both beyond happy to be Zahara's parents, and that's what matters.)

(Could the week in gossip get more depressing? Between rumored deaths and stories about suicide and depression, it's hardly shaping up to be a cheery Thanksgiving. Could someone maybe show their boobs or something? You know, make everyone feel better?)

Will Angie And Brad Lose Zahara? Birth Family Wants Her Back

HerBadMother — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 01:49:00 GMT

Uh-oh. This could be seriously bad news for the Jolie-Pitt family: InTouch Weekly is set to report that Zahara Jolie-Pitt's birth family wants her back.

According to the InTouch story, first reported by Perez Hilton, little Zahara is not the AIDS orphan that she was reported to be. Apparently, her birth mother is alive and well and AIDS-free, and she has an extended family who desperately wants to see her. The family says that they were promised regular visits and contact with Zahara, but that they haven't seen her since her adoption and now want to fight for what's right - a relationship with their little girl.

A source close to Angelina says that she's heard about the family's concerns, but that she 'feels on a deeper level that Zahara is part of her family. “She believes that Zahara is an orphan and the woman who claims to be her mom is mistaken,” says a friend. Government papers said Zahara was an AIDS orphan, says the pal, and “Angie had no reason to believe otherwise. Zahara was days away from death and Angelina saved that child. As far as she is concerned, that bonded her to that little girl forever."'

Experts say that, regarding the issue of the birth family's right to visits with Zahara, 'Angelina has no obligation to keep in touch with Zahara’s blood family. “It’s up to the adoptive parents,” he says. “We cannot force them.”'

But could Zahara's birth mother sue for custody? Theoretically, yes.

According to the InTouch story, Zahara's birth mother 'never signed the papers giving up her daughter, which could give her a case for getting Zahara back — if she had the money to pursue it. “If some family member comes in and leaves the child at an orphanage and signs her over, and then the mother wants her back, you can make the argument that the person didn’t truly understand that their child is gone forever,” says adoption specialist Jerri Jenista.'

Obviously, Zahara's family doesn't have the money to pursue it, but even just speaking out yields some potentially bad press for Angelina and Brad. Not to mention, I imagine, a great deal of fear and anxiety.

Fingers crossed that this gets sorted out. For Zahara's sake.

Brangelina Under Fire: Globe-Trotting Is Bad Parenting, Says Expert

HerBadMother — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:03:00 GMT

So, let's say that you're a mega-rich, uber-fabulous, superstar family that jets around the world making movies and adopting children. Let's say that in that in a span of two years, you've lived in six different countries, and crossed the Atlantic more often than you've crossed a street in any one city. And let's say that although your eldest child is enrolled in school, he's only enrolled in any one school temporarily, and changes schools as often as you change households, which is pretty often.

If all of those things are true, then you're probably the Jolie-Pitt family, and one New York psychotherapist has some harsh words for you:

"(They're) not creating a stable environment outside the family unit," Manhattan-based psychotherapist/social worker Puja Hall told the New York Post. "Maddox is an adopted child, so he already has a sense of abandonment," she said. "Kids that constantly move are like army brats, in that very often they don't want to open up to people. They feel loss, and there is a problem with attachment."

"With the moves, the kids just don't invest in relationships, because they're going to lose them anyway," Hall said. "They think: 'Why bother? I'm not gonna stick around. We're gonna pick up and go, and the loss of friends is painful.' " She added that before Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 16 months, get any older, Angelina and Brad need to decide where to settle down. "It needs to be weighed," said Hall. "At some point, they will have to make some important choices so the kids can form those bonds and keep them."

I don't know. On the one hand, I see her point: kids who move around a lot don't have as much opportunity to form attachments. Sure, they have each other, and their no-doubt doting parents, but the lack of other stable, ongoing social relationships - with friends and playmates and teachers - must certainly be experienced as a loss, even if it's a loss of something that they've never known.

On the other hand: we're talking about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt here, people. They can buy their kids friends.

What do you think?

Angelina Jolie and the Door Less Traveled By

Why don't we see more of these behind the scenes, um, scenes? Do they not have private entrances at other places? Can the paparazzi not get in there? Are Brangelina refusing to let the cameras control their lives?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I am also curious.

The Jolie-Pitt Train Pulls into Kidville

Hey kids, where ya wanna go? Kidville!! Kidville!!

Kidville is a super kid place in New York. Brangelina and their mini-entourage looked to have a pretty good time at the Disneyland of none Disneylands.

I wish they had Kidville in L.A.. All we have is crackville and some sound stage where they film Kid Nation. The closest thing we have is the ball-crawl at IKEA. That's lame. I guess we do have the actual Disneyland, which is cool.

Brad Pitt Has Two Achilles Heels

Whit Honea — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:31:00 GMT

I have found the proverbial chink in Brad Pitt's armor. The guy may be close to perfect, but he has one flaw. He can't dance. Ha! That'll teach you Brad Pitt!

Pitt recently told People, "There's a lot of dancing around the house, a lot of music time. We hope they're not soaking up our moves because they'd be seriously lacking in their future. We'll get them some proper training."

I hope the people at the UN don't know about this.

Brad Pitt Goes Commerical

How many times have you looked at Brad Pitt and thought how does he afford all of those kids? Admit it, it's crossed your mind.

Here's how. Brad, like many American stars, does commercials in foreign countries for stuff they wouldn't be caught dead hawking in the states. Plus, foreign is the way to go right now, the dollar is weak.

Here are a couple of the ads currently feeding the Jolie-Pitt kids:

Road to Burma: The Jolie-Pitt Adoption Train Rolls On

Whit Honea — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:30:00 GMT

Brangelina is eying Burma for the next piece, a little girl, to add to their rainbow coalition.

Apparently they have enlisted the help of a monk to arrange safe travel through the military state to visit an orphanage. Angelina Jolie is, as you know, a thinking man's Mother Theresa and is starting to grow more and more despondent about the effect she is having in the Third World. According to the Daily Mail, she feels that "she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative.

"She wants to step up her action in what she calls Red Alert areas, the most seriously troubled, war-torn areas in the world.

"She's in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly."

Looks like it will be business and pleasure. She'll go and do what she do, what with the helping and what-not, then she can just swing through the duty-free shop on the way out and grab the baby. It's a win-win.

Madonna should take notes.

Angelina Jolie: "I've Only Slept With Four Men In My Life!"

HerBadMother — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:03:00 GMT

Wow. That would make her, like, practically a virgin.

If it were true. Which, ha.

Let's do some counting. Angie cites Jonny Lee Miller, Billy Bob, Brad and some "nameless man" as her four. But if you factor in her own reports a few years back of casual sex with male friends and arranging hotel encounters with lovers so as to keep her sex life separate from her family life as a single mom, you gotta figure that the number is much, much higher than four. And I know that she's not counting those bisexual relationships, like the one with Jenny Shimura, but keeping those off of the tally kind of skews the result, don't you think? Oh yeah, I've only ever had sex with four different people - not counting the ones whose names I can't remember, and also not counting the half-dozen women that I went down on.

We believe you, Angie, we really do. Now, where's that bridge you wanted to sell us?

Maddox Jolie-Pitt Gets Mad Birthday Party

You know, ~~man~~ boy stuff. You can look at this picture and almost smell the farts. That's called bonding, ladies.

Good to see the crew having some fun. Nearly normal.

The Pitt-Jolie clan seems to have two types of paparazzi photo, the trips to and from school, and the trips to and from slightly more exotic locations. They trip a lot.

They sound just like my family, but instead of going anywhere we're just trippin'. I'm a tad bit jealous.

Shiloh Cries Like a Baby, but Hey, That's OK

Whit Honea — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 18:51:00 GMT

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was not exactly excited about the idea of Mommy and Daddy loading her on the plane.

There are rumors floating around the internet that she isn't the only one crying in the Brangelina caravan. I won't go into too much detail, since they are indeed just rumors at this point, but some people are claiming that insiders have leaked word of some big, loud fighting.

Let's hope it's just a rumor. Those insiders may have just been able to hear the "discussions" coming from my house. My wife's voice carries.
