Angelina Jolie's Gingerbread Home for the Holidays

Karl Erikson — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:02:00 GMT

We all know that Brad Pitt is kind of an architecture fan, and now his kids seem to be picking up the hobby, as well. Granted, it's on a smaller scale, but still.

"They're making gingerbread houses right now," says mother Angelina Jolie. "They're great."

As for the holiday traditions, Angelina, 33, says that the Jolie-Pitts are "just like all families." You know, they dance around 8 live reindeer and trim their 28-foot golden Christmas tree while bringing gold, frankincense, and myrhh to baby Jesus in their full-scaled live-action nativity scene. Just like the rest of us.

Angelina recently showed up solo for the premiere of close friend Clint Eastwood's newest film, "Gran Torino." She said, "I think he gets better every year."

Brad Pitt Does Architectural Digest

Karl Erikson — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:03:00 GMT

Brad Pitt is on the January cover of Architectural Digest, thanks to his good works in New Orleans with the Make It Right Foundation. His foundation is helping build affordable houses, while at the same time making them green and able to survive the wacky New Orleans weather. Architects, residents, and community leaders all help make the foundation work.

There are 150 homes almost complete in the Lower 9th Ward, and they're using that model for other slammed regions around the world. "We've cracked something here," Brad says. "These houses redefine affordable housing. This is a proving ground for a bigger idea that could work globally. This project is not mine any more. It's so beyond me."

It's nice to see someone with all that money doing really good things with it. It'd be nicer if he sent me some of it, but still... He's setting a great example for his eleventy hundred kids.

Maddox and Mommy Angelina went toy shopping at The Little Toy Shop in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Angelina and Brad Pitt have a house there. Brad will be going on Larry King Live on Tuesday to talk about the Make It Right project, which builds green, affordable houses for Hurricane Katrina victims. There's also going to be a screening of his new movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in New Orleans tomorrow night.

7-year-old Maddox looks like he's having a grand ol' time. I would, too, if Angelina was buying me toys.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have 3 adopted children, and she says that there are challenges associated with adopting an older child, as opposed to adopting an infant. Pax, 5, was adopted a couple of years ago in Vietnam, where he lived in an orphanage for his first 3 years.

Some of the funny parts of helping him adjust: "He would take 5 baths a day," Angelina says. And they "had trouble convincing him underwear is not pants." He also went from being the "shyest to the wildest person in the house."

But the emotional scars of his earliest years remain. "Children respond to affection quickly when they have been starved of it, so they are very loving soon after coming home. But Pax, for example, still wants to save food. He often puts parts of his dinner away for another time, even though we explain there will be more tomorrow."

Wow, that's rough. Can't even imagine what he must have gone through to put him in that mindset. Good thing he has such supportive and loving parents now.

Angelina Jolie is still doing publicity for her latest movie, "The Changeling." She recently opened up about show business and her family. She and Brad Pitt have their hands busy with six children: Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 3-1/2, Shiloh, 2, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 4 months.

Angelina says that the public see what they want to see, and they don't really acknowledge the "reality" of her life, which is more about diapers and bedtime stories than anything else. The 33-year-old actress says her life is more mundane these days than glamourous, by far.

"They like to make things a little fantastic," she says. People like to imagine that, I guess, in some way...But I like to think that people can see through that and I think that there are a lot of people out there -- for example mothers -- that can see through a lot of stuff and can know that we're similar in many ways."

"I have a lot of children and I have a big responsibility to make sure they're growing right," Angelina says. This coming from a woman who is a top box office attraction and a United Nations ambassador. She purposefully exposes her kids to different cultures. "I want them to see all different countries. I want to learn with them about the world and certainly, wherever I can, shine light on situations I think are important."

As for selling photos of her twins to People magazine, she says it was either that or "people breaking into our property or the hospital" to get shots of the twins. Better to just sell the photos and donate the money to charity..."something we can make positive and do some good."

All in all, Angelina says that she'll gradually be changing to a life away from Hollywood. She wants fewer and fewer roles since she really enjoys "being home a lot these days." She knows that her life in the spotlight won't last forever. She looks forward to "fading away" and "being a grandma one day."

Angelina Jolie Has Billy Bob's Name Tattooed on Vajayjay

You heard me right. There's this tattoo artist named Friday Jones who says she branded Angelina's nethers. She says, "I did the secret Billy Bob tattoo that you will never see. She would come to the house all of the time, because my roommate was her best friend."

But really? Tattooing her vajayjay? OWCH!

"She was always like ‘Tattoo me! I’m jonesing for another one,’ or ‘I want Billy Bob’s name on me!’ So I put his name down there." Yes, that down there.

I'll bet Brad loves seeing that every time he goes downtown.

Truth, be told, I have a tattoo on my genitals, too. It says, "Antidisestablishmentarianism." Three times.

Angelina & Brad: It Takes A Village Or Six Nannies

Sassy Smith — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:04:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have 23 kids - well, only six, but it seems like 23. They're all 7 years and under and two of them are infants. A lot of joy for certain but also a lot of work. So how do the celebrity parents keep their home and family in running order? With much help!

According to reports, the famous couple have six nannies to help keep things running smoothly and they also have a fleet of cars. I don't think the cars do much in the way of looking after the kids though. Just sayin'.

Life & Style spoke with Mya Walters, a public-relations manager for the car company that the Jolie-Pitts use. She said, "We've provided them with more than 20 Volkswagens while they're here in Berlin."

Loads of cars, lots of nannies, but that's not all. The Berlin home they're leasing for a few months while Brad works on his latest film has tons of room, including a dinner table that seats 16. That's a big table. But then again, big family.

Brad and Angie had cut their staff down to four nannies but things quickly went to chaos, so they flew two more in. Hey, can't say I blame them. If I could have six nannies I would. Heck, I'd even settle for one.

Is Brad Pitt Cheating on Angelina?

Karl Erikson — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 12:41:00 GMT

Star magazine hit newstands yesterday with the headline you see above: Angelina's Humiliating Betrayal! Here's a snippet from the issue, that claims Angelina Jolie is worried Brad Pitt is gonna pull a Brad Pitt and cheat. What? It's not like it's unprecedented.

Says Star:

"Angie is livid over Brad's recent freewheeling behavior with the happily single costars and director of his latest movie, Inglourious Bastards. But what's really sending Angie over the edge is the blatant flirtation between him and his gorgeous leading lady, German actress Diane Kruger! 'Angie loves Brad and wants to trust him, but she also knows that their own love blossomed while working on a movie together,' an insider tells Star. 'Now she's convinced that Diane has a crush on Brad, and she's scared something could happen.'"

"Diane made sure Brad knew just how excited she was during (a cast dinner party in Berlin in September). 'She kept putting her arm around Brad's neck to whisper something in his ear because it was so loud. He was clearly charmed by her, and Diane definitely looks smitten. She's thrilled to be around him again.'"

I don't know how Brad could cheat on Angelina Jolie, but then I was pretty gobsmacked when he cheated on Jennifer Aniston, too. I mean, look at this Diane Kruger! If I was Angelina, I'd be worried, too.

Angelina Jolie attended the Hollywood Film Festival in Beverly Hills Monday evening. Jolie was looking radiant and sleek in a long black dress and flowing hair. Although she's the mother of six kids, the two youngest being 3-month-old twins, she looks fairly well rested!

More pics after the jump!

The 33-year-old actress was on hand to present the legendary Clint Eastwood the Hollywood Director of the Year Award.

Angie said to the audience, "There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they'll live up to what we imagined them to be. And Clint Eastwood in person is even better."

Eastwood recently directed Jolie in the newly released film, Changeling.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to Marry?

Whit Honea — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 23:03:00 GMT

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have long maintained that they would not get married until the United States allowed same-sex marriage. Said Pitt, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

That hasn't happened, although the superstars are doing what they can to support the cause. Basically, No on Prop 8 means Yes on I do.

Jolie said recently in an interview with the Italian version of Vanity Fair, "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards.

"But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?""

Yes, Shrek, the moral compass by which our lives find their way.

Good luck to the Jolie-Pitts, their kids and their cause. And their ogres.

Babies for Barrowman?

Whit Honea — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:21:00 GMT

Scottish-American actor John Barrowman is building a house by the sea and he wants to fill it with the pitter-patter of little feet.

Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness on the hit BBC show "Torchwood" (a spin-off from "Doctor Who") and Scott Gill, his partner of 15 years, are ready to take the next step in family.

Says Barrowman, "We're building a house in Cardiff on the beach. We're going to have six bedrooms in it and we feel like we've got a lot to offer."

Hey, got to put something in there.

While discussing the idea of family and the attitude towards same-sex parenting he drops a great nugget: "a family unit is what you make a family unit."

Simple and true, Barrowman, simple and true.

Tina Fey Would Vote Abdul Off

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:42:00 GMT

Tina Fey thinks that Paula Abdul is "disastrous ... in the way she generally appears to be." She tells Playboy (via Us) that Abdul is "awful."

When Paula Abdul hosted SNL she left quite the impression on Fey, "I was pregnant at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, 'She's a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV.'"

I guess that's why they let her sit down on American Idol.

Thanks for the take, Tina. Let's get Abdul on 30 Rock!

There must be something in the water. There sure are a lot of pregnancy rumors floating around. For instance:

Brooke Burke following up Heaven Rain with a new baby. She should name the kid Chocolate.
Keira Knightley dresses the part.
Are the hormones making Britney Spears crazy?
Angelina Jolie is rumored to be pregnant. She is definitely naked.
Jeri Ryan is expecting a girl.
Jessica Seinfeld is not pregnant, but if she was she'd sneak cauliflower into the breast milk.
Desperate housewife Nicollete Sheridan is having Michael Bolton's baby. That's the word on Wisteria.
Apparently J-Lo and Marc Anthony are expecting someone new on the block. CONFIRMED!
Jordan does two things- show her stuff and make babies.
Giada De Laurentiis has a bun in her oven.
Xtina's finally admitted the obvious.
~~Bob Dylan~~ Cate Blanchett is with #3.
Nicole Richie is smokin' hot.
Ellen DeGeneres isn't just crossing picket lines!
Katie Holmes- I'm guessing the marathon disproved this rumor.
Halle Berry is enjoying the fruits of her labor, but not as much as her husband.
Do we hear the sound of little Posh feet? The Beckham boys could use a sister!
Julianna Margulies and a shotgun.
Jessica Alba? Again?
Katharine McPhee married and expecting?

Barack Obama Supports Striking Writers

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 19:27:00 GMT

Family man and presidential hopeful Barack Obama has issued a statement in support of the Writers Guild of America:

“I stand with the writers. The Guild’s demand is a test of whether media corporations are going to give writers a fair share of the wealth their work creates or continue concentrating profits in the hands of their executives. I urge the producers to work with the writers so that everyone can get back to work.”

Executives suck. I just don't get why he's talking about "The Producers," what does Mel Brooks have to do with anything?

Good thing the strike hadn't started before this magical moment:

Tina Fey and the Writer's Strike

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:27:00 GMT

Tina Fey is mad as hell, and she's not going to take it anymore!

I'm torn on this Hollywood strike. On one hand, I'm a writer. I've created some shows for television. I get it.

On the other hand, they're just so whiny. I've never been a fan of unions, especially for the white-collar crowd.

Can't we all just get along?

Tina Fey is one of the only working writers in TV that is actually any good. "30 Rock" is funny as hell. The rest of the writers should just keep waking in circles until they think of some better script ideas.

I wonder how long she walked the line after the photographers left.

I just hope that the powers that be realize they're wrong and give the writers their share before we're left with nothing but informercials and porn. Those don't use writers, right?
