Charlie Sheen's Twins are Doing Great

Charlie Sheen Introduces World to Bob and Max!

Karl Erikson — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Here they are, the adorable Max and Bob Sheen, born March 15th with normal names. Freaky. The fraternal twins were 7 weeks' premature and they're doing just fine. Proud daddy Charlie Sheen and mommy Brooke Mueller Sheen talked about the boys and parenthood with In Touch.

"There are days I don't even want to go to work because I want to be with my family," Charlie, 43, said. The star of "Two and a Half Men" has battled drug addiction, sex scandals, and was once regular fodder for the tabloids. Course, that was 11 years ago. Nowadays, he's clean and sober and loving life.

Last May, he and Brooke got married. Aside from Max and Bob, Charlie has 3 other children - Daughters Cassandra, 24, Sam, 5, and Lola, 3-1/2.

Excerpts from the interview:

After three daughters, what’s different about sons:

Charlie Sheen: Not to be graphic, but this is my first time changing a diaper for boys. I’ve been peed on a little. Bob really impressed me - he hit the wall from two feet away. I was just glad I didn’t take it in the face!

Brooke Mueller Sheen: Charlie’s so great. He goes into the nursery, and he manages both of them. He’ll be holding one and have one in the baby seat, constantly looking back and forth.

CS: They’ve made me a better man. People think when they get married it will solve selfishness and be about the other person, but really that doesn’t happen until you have children.

On Brooke as a mom:

CS: She’s unbelievable. She’s so great, caring, focused, compassionate, loving and selfless and eager to be involved and to learn. Her mom instincts are all there. I knew when she was just my girlfriend how great she was with Sam and Lola. So, I’m not surprised she was amazing from day one. We are a perfect match.

On Sam and Lola as big sisters:

CS: They came to the hospital, they’ve been to the house, and they’re affectionate and curious. They think the babies are dolls, so we have to be careful with how they hold them and handle them.

On how he and Denise [Richards] are getting along now:

CS: We started noticing that when we get along, the kids are much happier. We had to do what’s best for Sam and Lola.

BMS: She is totally great, and it’s water under the bridge. Her daughters are blood relatives, and we want them to hang out with Max and Bob as much as possible.

On why they chose the names Bob and Max:

CS: I wanted to bring it back to basics. Their names aren’t even Robert or Maxmillian. If my children don’t like their names, they can always change them when they get older.

BMS: He was so into choosing the names for six months, I finally just said, 'Okay, you choose the names for both babies.' He was happy about that.

On the twins’ looks and personalities:

CS: Bob is the more demanding one. He’s not afraid to express his desires.

BMS: He lets you know when he wants to be rubbed, cuddled, held, eat. He also lets me know if I kiss him too much!

CS: Max is pretty laid-back. He will hang out in the corner. He doesn’t need all the attention yet, but that could change tomorrow. I’m happy they are fraternal. I didn’t want to not be able to tell them apart!

BMS: Bob looks identical to Charlie. And Max looks like [Charlie's dad] Martin.

On sleep:

CS: Sleep’s not as bad right now. I feel bad for Brooke because she has to get up and pump. But as a new dad, it’s hard to sleep through the night. I go in and check on everybody. I worry because that’s what dads do.

On Charlie’s past transgressions:

CS: My wild ways ended in 1998, so I’ve had over a decade of being a sober, contributing, law-abiding member of society. Sam and Lola were lucky they came into my life at a time when I was a lot more conservative, and the boys, as well.

BMS: It’s hysterical to me that he has this reputation. He’s such a family man. Charlie will still be the brunt of all jokes when it comes to hookers, but I’m not worried. It’s out of his system.

On balancing work with the boys:

CS: We finished our last taping a few weeks ago, so the timing worked out well. I was offered a few films recently, but I thought, I can’t abandon my family right now and go do something.

More kids?:

CS: I don’t know, we haven’t made any decision either way. We don’t think it would be fair to the boys right now to introduce another person into their lives so soon. You’ve got to focus on giving equal attention to both of them right now.

BMS: The pregnancy I had was so tough. Our children were born so early at just over 4 pounds, and it was really difficult and risky. I’m nervous to have another baby. I’d love to have a girl, but we’ll see.

Charlie & Brooke Show Off Their Twin Boys

Brad Pitt is Getting The Hell Out Of Dodge

trix — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:32:00 GMT

Where is Brad going and why is he leaving? Does this mean the rumors are true?

Phftttt... I don't think the rumors are true, plus Brad is just going on business.

Brad Pitt is going to Cannes in May to promote his new film Inglourious Basterd. Will Angelina being going with him and which kids will he be taking?

He's probably wanting to get away from all the rumors of the pending split between him and Angelina.

He probably wants to get a break from the constant craziness of kids, rumors and innuendos and is excited about the trip.

The film will be entered into the awards section of the event and is going to be released worldwide in August. Maybe Brad will get a chance to show his heroics and save someone from drowning again.

Brad Pitt took his girls out for a little shopping fun in Washington D.C.

I bet those two little girls have Brad wrapped around their little fingers so tight that he gives them anything they want.

I hope it's not a sigh of the times that Brad took them to that store looking for a job. It must be difficult to go to a job interview with your dad in tow.

Brad Pitt - One of the Bad Guys?

trix — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Apparently someone thought Brad may be carrying contraband through LAX and was promptly stopped and thoroughly wanded.

Would you stop him, if you could?

That's actually pretty funny. Did the airport security pick him because he is one of the nicer celebrities and knew he wouldn't throw a fit? The authorities have to show that no one is above the law, but seem to make it as painless as possible for themselves, especially since that whole Jamie Lynn fiasco.

Good thing Brad didn't have all the kids and Angelina in tow, that would have been to much trouble for the "wander" to deal with. Brad seemed to take it all in stride, he probably appreciated the "non-special" treatment.

TMZ caught it all on video, watch it here.

George Clooney To Be a Dad

trix — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:33:00 GMT

George Clooney said it would never happen to him. He swore up and down that he would never be a dad, but it's happened.

George is all set to star in the finale of E.R., along with Juliana Margulies. They will be playing their same roles but returning as a married couple with twins, girls no less.

It's news, because it might be the closest he ever comes to procreating, the closest we ever come to Clooney babies.

I have to admit I've never watched an episode of E.R.. Have I been missing out?

Brad Pitt Says We're Ready For More

trix — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:03:00 GMT

Brad and Angelina have their work cut out for them everyday. They have to get up and get six kids up and ready for the day.

I know they have help getting the kids ready, but I really want to believe that they are pretty hands on. I don't think that they would have as many kids as they do without wanting to be a part of the daily routine.

Brad talked about the twins and their place or role in the family thus far.

He said, "We were four before, and we got into our rhythms and it worked. Then someone new comes in, and it discombobulates the movements for a moment, but then you settle in again and it just all works. Everyone's pretty well integrated. It's not the first time new kids have come in."

Now that everyone has found their role he says that they are ready to add to the family.

"We haven't found any reason to stop yet," he says. "It's chaos at times, but there's such joy in the house. I look and there's our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they're brothers and sisters, man. They're brothers and sisters and it's a sight for elation. We have the capability to give a child a home, and let me tell you it's selfish, too, because the reward has been extraordinary."

I know there are haters out there that can't stand Brad and Angelina, but they have the right reasons to adopt. To create a family and be a part of something better than ourselves.

That's why we have kids too.

Melissa Etheridge Shares Shot of Her Babies

Karl Erikson — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:35:00 GMT

What with the paparazzi being such hounding jerks at times, singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge had enough after a weird encounter this weekend. She and her wife, Tammy, decided to share a photo of their 2-year-old twins. There's daughter Johnnie Rose and son Miller Steven.

Very cute, yeah?

"I am my own 'razzi,'" Tammy said. "I don't like the chase, so I am hoping that posting a photo will deter them from spooking the hell out of us in the future."

Unlikely, but it should hold them off for at least half an hour, starting about 20 minutes ago. Enjoy your 10 minutes of peace, Melissa and Tammy. Use the time wisely.

George Clooney said, “I always wanted to be adopted, but I couldn’t find anyone.” He told Bill Small, “I’m very wealthy. I’ll take care of you.”

His friend Brad Pitt doesn't want to adopt him? I will adopt him. He can come to my house and take care of me. It would be awesome, he could play with my kids, walk them to school. Maybe pick up the dog poop around the yard, you know like the oldest kid.

Or maybe, he could just take us to his villa in Europe, I think I might like that.

Brad Pitt Wants To Make A Great Escape

trix — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:03:00 GMT

Brad Pitt wants to be just like Steve McQueen or at least play him in a movie.

The rights to a biography of Steve McQueen by Marshall Terrill have been purchased by some Hollywood producers and they are shopping around for actors who can fill the shoes of McQueen.

Could Brad Pitt be the one?

An insider let it slip that Brad Pitt is one of the top choices because he has the right look and persona. Brad has the right kind of talent and has a love of fast cars and motorcycles that Steve McQueen was famous for.

Steve McQueen was an interesting cat and I'd love to see a movie of his life. I hope they include all the little interesting tidbits about his humor and his commitment to the boys home he spent time in as a teenager.

I also think that Brad Pitt would be an excellent choice for this part, he has the charisma to carry it off. I'm really excited about this, they need to hurry up and make the movie already.

People magazine just reported that Marcia Cross' husband, Tom Mahoney, has been diagnosed with cancer. "He is currently under treatment and is responding very well," Marcia's rep says.

Marcia, star of "Desperate Housewives," and Tom were married in 2006 and together the couple have twin daughters, Eden and Savannah, now almost 2.

"I think that beauty comes from being happy and connected to the people we love," Marcia said right after her engagement. "And his love makes me feel beautiful."

Brad Pitt was a Stoner

trix — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:31:00 GMT

Parenting sure changes us doesn't it? I mean, I used to go out dancing 6 nights a week and now I am a virtual shut in.

Brad Pitt used to be a big pot head. I know it's no big surprise however, someone is "exposing" Brad Pitt as a wake and baker by saying that he used to live to get high.

"It was no secret Brad liked to smoke pot. He was so open and honest about it. It seemed to me all he wanted to do was smoke weed, make movies and go to the beach. He'd come into the shop all the time. He came in once and was excited about smoking with one of his very big-name co-stars. 'We blaze (smoke pot) every day in his trailer,' He had a huge grin on his face."

Brad Pitt stopped smoking pot a while ago and says he is a lot clearer now. His head is no longer cloudy and, "His whole life has changed since he stopped smoking pot. He found he was thinking clearer and feeling better."

Brad Pitt has too many people depending on him now to be distracted by getting high.

Will Brad Pitt Follow Angelina out of Show Business?

My favorite line from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was the, "You are perfect" line. I think that this is definitely his best look, the rugged mid forties vibe he has going on.

Though we may have to depend upon watching old movies to catch a glimpse of him in the movies sooner than we would like.

Brad said that he likes, "The balance of it all right now, but probably at some point in the next few decades, I'll be gone from the world of acting. To be honest, I want to get all the kids to the age of 18 and then I'll re-evaluate and decide what I'm going to do."

Well, that's a relief, we have at least 18 years left to ogle him in the movies.

Quaids Head Home for the Holidays

Quaid Overdose Case is Closed

Karl Erikson — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:36:00 GMT

As we reported earlier, the Quaids have settled with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over a potentially fatal overdose of blood thinners given to their new twins. They're getting $750,000 from the hospital and now the deal is official, as of yesterday. Part of the deal is that Cedars-Sinai won't admit any wrongdoing.

Um, what? I've never understood this crap. You won't say you were wrong but you're going to give me three-quarters of a million dollars? What, out of the goodness of your hearts?

Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone Quaid were given 1,000 times the normal dose of heparin, very easily could have died, and yet they did nothing wrong?! Freaking lawyers. And doctors.

And yeah, the hospital got a fine of $25,000 by the California Department of Health for the error, which is less than a slap on the wrist.

The Quaids have also sued the manufactuer of Heparin, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, for negligence regarding their poorly labeled bottles.

I'm not generally for lawsuits, but I say good for Dennis and Kimberly Quaid. I think if someone screwed with my family, I'd be all over the litigiousness myself.

Brad Pitt Does W

trix — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:32:00 GMT

OH wow,

Brad Pitt is featured on the cover of the February issue of W Magazine and boy, does he look good.

I'll take the rugged, natural look over the pretty boy look any day.

Brad gave an in-depth interview as well. . .

On falling in love with Angelina: “What people don’t understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year. We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful. [The film] will mean something to our kids. It will, that’s all.”

- On Jennifer Aniston’s comment that it was “uncool” for Angie to say she and Pitt fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith: “Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there’s a second round to all of that Angie versus Jen. It’s so created.”

-On his relationship with Jen now: “We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don’t see how there cannot be [that]. That’s life, man. That’s life.”

Why did he request that the photographer shoot him with a technique that captures every line and flaw? Because he didn’t want to be “the guy coming out of the ocean water with his T-shirt wet, even though I’ve done that, too, but have always walked away feeling a little crap about it.”

-On photographing Jolie for W magazine’s November 2008 photo spread: “We have fun working together; these things bring you closer. And let me tell you, it’s really sexy to see your loved one through the lens. I went much further [than the cover shot of Jolie breast-feeding]. I didn’t show those.”

-On how he went from being a slacker in the late 90’s to having a strong interest in philanthropy: “[I was] spending too much time smoking things I shouldn’t be. I was asking, What’s it about? It couldn’t just be wanting a successful movie or something. Then I got more engaged, started studying more and [my] interests blossomed.”

- On how family life has changed him: “I quit smoking. That was the only thing that got me to quit. That was it. Done.”

-On wearing motorcycle gear to evade paparazzi: “This is my anonymity. With it, I’m just another a–hole on the streets.”

-On being in Chicago’s Grant Park on election night for President-elect Obama’s acceptance speech: “It was just total jubilation. It was the best rock concert that I’ve ever been to. Really. I could just feel it in the air. All the boulevards were closed afterward, and so we walked a half hour to the hotel. Everyone was just on a high.”

-On how he was able to walk undisturbed through the crowded streets of Chicago: “Man, nobody cared about us at that moment. By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You’ve just got to keep moving. You can’t stop.”

-On gay marriage rights: “People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying. What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.”

-On how his own mortality: “I’m scared to death of death.”

I like Brad Pitt, I think that he is a good match for Angelina. I don't think that she has sucked the "hot" out of him, I think that his path in life right now just makes him more handsome.

So we all know that Angelina and fatherhood was the natural direction for Brad Pitt's life to take, but how many kids are they really going to have?

According to Brad, they aren't going to stop until they find a reason to stop. They haven't found a reason to quit yet. I did, my sanity.

It's great that they want to keep having and adopting, they do set a great example of helping others and that family is about unconditional love.

Angelina is probably glad that her vagina isn't going to be quite as used up as Ma Dugggar's.

Brad and Angelina Don't Spoil Their Kids

trix — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:32:00 GMT

Do you plan on giving your kids a zillion gifts for Christmas? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt aren't planning on spoiling their kids this holiday season. They are going to lay low and do a little gift giving. However, their exchange is going to be very small.

They bought small gifts for their loved ones but don't feel any pressure to make huge gestures.

Brad said, " the kids don’t ask for the big gifts for the reason that they don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic.

"When they do see that stuff is when they start asking for the toys, so we figure if they don’t see them they won’t know they’re there.

"So we have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum. The rule is that everyone’s got to make something for someone else, you got to put time into it.

"Then, when they give to each other, it’s really sweet. The gift-giving is a very nice time for us.

"It's chaos at times but there's so much joy in our house right now."

I didn't know that their kids are perfect too.

Dennis Quaid and Wife Settle Over Babies' Overdose

Karl Erikson — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:37:00 GMT

After over a year of fighting, Dennis and Kimberly Quaid have finally settled with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the accidental overdose of their twins last year. Two weeks after their twins, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, were born, they were given a huge overdose of Heparin, which is a blood thinner. They spent subsequent days fighting for their lives.

Well, the Quaids agreed to settle for $750,000. The papers filed in L.A. Superior Court yesterday say, "The settlement is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties and their respective legal representatives, and is intended to avoid the time, expense and uncertainty of litigation." In other words, Cedars-Sinai done messed up GOOD.

The California Department of Public Health also fined Cedars-Sinai $25,000, which seems a pittance for something like that.

The babies are now in fine health, thank God. However, Dennis and Kimberly also have a lawsuit pending against Baxter Healthcare, the makers of Heparin. They say the packaging is at fault, since the adult and pediatric doses look so similar.

What? The healthcare industry making a mistake? Impossible! I can't believe it!

Dennis has another child with ex Meg Ryan...Jack is now 16.

Angelina, Brad & Brad's Porn 'Stache Do England

I wonder if Brad's kids tell daddy to shave his face? I know Pitt's porn 'stache is for a movie role, but still, doesn't do the man any justice. Brad and his lady love, Angelina Jolie were in England Monday for a photocall of Angie's latest flick Changeling. The pair were mobbed by paparazzi as they arrived at the Curzon Mayfair in London.

More pics and porn 'stache after the jump!

Jolie told reporters that she dedicated her performance as Christine Colins, to her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

Angelina said, "She was very much Christine Collins. She was very sweet and she would never get angry and she would never swear, but when it came to her kids she was fierce, so this was very much her story."

Jolie also confirmed that she is replacing Tom Cruise in the spy movie Edwin A. Salt and will start work in February. After that however, she will take time off. "I like being home a lot. First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they're growing right and they've got us there for them."

Angelina Apologizes To Jennifer For Stealing Brad

Brad Pitt P*ssed At Jennifer Aniston

Sassy Smith — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:09:00 GMT

The old Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie love triangle is making a comeback. Angelina recently admitted that she and Brad fell in love during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith - Brad was still living with and married to Jen at the time - and in Vogue's new interview with Aniston, she talks about how that whole situation went down. She called what Angie did, "very uncool." Now Brad is pissed at his former wife...

Although Jennifer was clearly wronged because of what Angelina and Brad did over 3 years ago, it's Brad who is mad at Jennifer right now. Why? Because of her Vogue interview. Pitt reportedly called his ex-wife to complain about the article. Really? Jen may have discussed (briefly) what happened but she also went out of her way to give props to Brad, saying, she has "nothing but absolute admiration for him."

But Brad must be upset because Jen called his lady love ~~homewrecker~~ "uncool." I say too bad. You make your bed, you lie in it.

A source close to Jolie said that she and Pitt were "totally thrown" by Aniston's interview, believing she had already "moved on... and wouldn't want to reopen this old wound." Ya sure, but didn't Angelina kinda bring it up first by blabbing to the world (like we didn't know, but still...) that she nabbed Brad while he was tied to Jennifer?

A rep for Jennifer wouldn't comment on the whether Brad really called Jen, saying "That's personal information... That really is no one's business." I take that to mean, hell yes.

It's all water under the bridge - Brad and Angie have a zillion kids now and Jennifer is trying for twins with John Mayer. Time to move on I think.

Angelina Apologizes To Jennifer For Stealing Brad

Sassy Smith — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:07:00 GMT

Jennifer Aniston has stayed pretty tight-lipped over the years about her split from Brad Pitt. She did say one time of Brad "there's a sensitivity chip that's missing," but never really said more on what happened. However, in a new Vogue interview she does mention how things went down when Angelina and Brad were working on Mr. and Mrs. Smith and now, Angelina has apparently reached out to Jen to apologize. Kinda lame at this point don't you think?

According to sources, Jolie has reached out to Aniston so she can apologize for stealing her husband all those years ago, begging for forgiveness. She's also sorry she made a public confession that she fell in love with Pitt while he was still married. However, Jennifer is reportedly "furious" and has rejected her apology.

Jennifer was always assured by Brad that their relationships didn't overlap ~~liar~~ and when she heard what Angelina said, it brought it all back to the surface, even though Jennifer has moved on.

An insider dished, "Jen didn't see any good reason to relieve Angelina of her guilt. I think what she really wanted to do was point a finger in her face and shout, 'Homewrecker!'"

Jennifer, although with John Mayer and moving forward, will never forgive Angie for all the pain and hurt she selfishly caused.

"Angelina desperately wanted to make amends with Jen and bury the hatchet once and for all. She told Jen she's sorry that she lost her heart to her husband as they worked together on a film." Sure, Angelina has previously said she would never fall for a married man because her beloved mom was hurt by her father's infidelities, and she couldn't look herself in the mirror if she broke up a relationship. But hey, people change right? Of course, it does take two to tango, and Brad is just as guilty.

Aniston, however, won't let this get her down. She's in a good place in her life and is determined to make her relationship with rocker John Mayer work. She wants a family too and has reportedly started fertility treatments. She hopes to conceive before her 40th birthday in February.

A source said, "She knows her baby-making years are limited. It's hard for her to think of anything else - she has babies on the brain."

Mayer has even ordered books on pregnancy and parenting. A friend said, "He ordered a bunch of books on Amazon about pregnancy and parenting. He's just as eager as Jen is. They've discussed how they plan to raise their kids, and they agree on mostly everything. They can't wait to be parents together."

Pals also say that Jennifer would love to have a mulitple birth.

"Jen has changed her diet. She's taking a lot of folic acid and has upped her intake of milk and beef - all of which are supposed to increase your chances of having twins. She's even eating cassava root, a wild yam, because women in Africa who consume it have the highest rate of conceived twins." Good luck!

You'd think this story would die already, it's been almost four years, but it just keeps going. I say get the Jello, bikinis and wrestle it out.

Jennifer Aniston Talks: The Truth About Brad & Angelina

Sassy Smith — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:04:00 GMT

Jennifer Aniston graces the cover of Vogue December issue and inside speaks of work, her love life and future family plans. She also talks about her ex-husband, Brad Pitt and what happened over three years ago when Angelina Jolie came into the picture.

After keeping quiet for years about what happened between her and Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston has a few things to say. And why discuss it now? A source close to the actress said, "Jen still feels like she’s taking the high road — she isn’t revealing any details, she’s simply responding to what Angie has decided to put out there. It’s only fair now."

On her breakup from Pitt and do they still talk? (Yes!):

"Well, it never was that bad. I mean, look, it's not like divorce is something that you go, 'Oooh, I can't wait to get divorced!' It doesn't feel like a tickle. But I've got to tell you, it's so vague at this point, it's so faraway in my mind, I can't even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn't mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can't talk to Jen and Jen can't talk to Brad because this person won't allow it. It just didn't happen. The marriage didn't work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we've been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other. Whoever said everything has to be forever, that's setting your hopes too high. It's too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself—because I did! Fairy tale! It has to be the right one!—that's unattainable."

"[We've exchanged] a few very kind hellos ... and congratulations on your babies... [We] had an amicable split ... The marriage didn't work out. I have nothing but absolute admiration for him, and…I'm proud of him! I think he's really done some amazing things."

On Jolie's need to discuss falling in love with Pitt on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (when Jen was still married to Brad):

"There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."

On how Vince Vaughn helped her live again:

"I call Vince my defibrillator," she says with genuine affection. "He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He's a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course."

On where she is today:

"You basically watch my life. It happens in front of you. And I can protect it and try to control things only to a certain extent. I think what I'm doing now is letting go of the reins a little bit and saying, 'It is what it is.' But there is more to me than just a tabloid girl. This whole 'Poor lonely Jen' thing, this idea that I'm so unlucky in love? I actually feel I've been unbelievably lucky in love. Just because at this stage my life doesn't have the traditional framework to it—the husband and the two kids and the house in Connecticut—it's mine. It's my experience. And if you don't like the way it looks, then stop looking at it! Because I feel good. I don't feel like I'm supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I'm not. I'm right where I'm supposed to be."

Will she have kids?

"I've said it so many times: I'm going to have children. I just know it."

Sounds to me like Jennifer Aniston has completely healed, moved on and is in a good place.
