Clint Eastwood is one of our most famous Republicans. Did you talk politics with him on the set?
Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama. Clint can teach me about things domestically and I'm more aware of some things internationally. So it was less a debate and more things we found interesting. But for the first few weeks I was just too nervous to get into any deep conversation!
Some people can't reconcile your old persona, where you talked about knives and cutting, with your more recent identity as a mother and activist.
But again, it's not that different. The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I'm extremely human and have done some dark things, I don't think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do.
Is there anything you've said that you wish you hadn't? Like all that business about wearing the vial of Billy Bob Thornton's blood around your neck when you two were married?
No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I'm proud to have been his wife for a time. I don't believe in regrets. It's a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.
You and Brad aren't married. How do you refer to each other?
We have that problem all the time. I say ''partner'' sometimes. ''Father of my children'' is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, ''So, your wife this, your husband that.'' We've stopped correcting everybody. It's not a big intentional thing not to marry. We immediately were a family when we became a couple, and children were the priority, and we're both legally committed to the children. And that seemed to be the right thing.
What would be your ideal way to spend a free Saturday?
I have a lot of those. Very simple things. On weekends we usually have family sleep. We always have one night a week where everybody stays up late, watches a movie, and stays in our bed. We have, like, a slumber party.
What's the deal with Brad's new tattoo?
I drew that. We went to Davos. It's not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn't have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.
Kung Fu Panda which features the voice of Jack Black and Angelina Jolie, kicked its way straight to the top of the box office this weekend with $60 million, making it best opening ever for a DreamWorks Animation original pic after the "Shrek" sequels. The Adam Sandler movie You Don't Mess with the Zohan came in at no.2 with a cool $40 million
Wonder what Angelina Jolie is doing while Brad flies all over Europe?
Art 39 is an international art show Modern and contemporary works, Art Basel features nearly 300 leading galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. More than 2,000 artists, ranging from the great masters of Modern art to the latest generation of emerging stars, are represented in the show's multiple sections. The exhibition includes the highest-quality paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs, video and editioned works.
They also go on to say the reason Angie and Brad Pitt went to France so early is because the actress has been told she won't go to the full term in her pregnancy.
In other Brangie news, the couple are not happy with Disney. They think that the cartoon company should make some Disney princess African. "There still isn't a Disney princess that's African and it's very difficult because our daughters' getting into princesses right now and it upsets me."
So Disney, listen to them its about time you make an African princess.
People and OK! are the two magazines left in the bidding war. While the magazines are unlikely to make that money back, just saying they have pictures will do wonders for them.
When asked about it, a rep for People said "We'd love to see the photos in PEOPLE. We wish the family well". OK! wouldn't comment.
$15 million is just INSANE money for photographs, but unlike most other Hollywood couple, Bradn and Angie are giving the money to charity.
Jolie could not talk long about her mother without filling up and spilling over, without her voice creaking, without tears, real tears, flowing down her cheeks. “Mad always knew my mom was sick,” said Jolie. “So when it happened, I sat him down and I told him how some people believe there’s a heaven where everybody goes and is together again. And they believe it’s very white and beautiful. And some believe—he’d just seen Casper—there are ghosts who are people and they are always around. And some believe it’s a long peaceful sleep. When I told him, and I was crying, ‘Grand-mère died today, we won’t be able to see her anymore, but she’ll always be around,’ he said, ‘Like she’s here now? Like she’s in that chair?’ And I said, ‘Well, I suppose she could be.’ And he accepted it. It’s funny. It’s like we teach kids the things that we want to believe. Then we see that they have such beautiful faith and it helps them go to bed and we’re in the other room not sleeping well.”
Jolie was crying when she said this.
“I had to be responsible for getting the morgue to pick her body up,” said Jolie. “She was in Cedars [Sinai, in Los Angeles]. All I had to do is remind myself that she’s my best girlfriend and she’s not in any more pain. I’m so happy for her. As much as I miss her, I’m a good enough friend not to have wanted her to stay in pain any longer.”
Jolie stood up. “I have to use the bathroom,” she said. “It’s a great thing about being pregnant—you don’t need excuses to pee, or to eat.”
Angelina has played with guns on movie sets including Tomb Raider, Mr & Mrs Smith and the upcoming Wanted movie, but the actress is not afraid to shoot somebody for real if she needs to. She and Brad Pitt have guns in the house.
"I bought original, real guns of the type we used in Tomb Raider for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. And yes, I'd be able to use it if I had to. I could handle myself. I think there are certain combat skills that would come out. I tend to want to throw an elbow. I don't know why. I've learned all the punches, head butts and kicks – yet getting someone with my elbow is my first instinct.
I think it's good for anybody to learn a skill when it comes to fight training – be it kung fu, boxing or kick-boxing – because self-defence is important. Brad and I want our kids to learn it. They're going to get into a fight some day, so they might as well learn how to take care of themselves.
There's a side to me that people know is humanitarian, and there's a side to me that's a mummy. But there's also the side that likes to get down and dirty and run and jump around and fire guns. I don't want to lose touch with that."
It is good to see Angelina isn't like most Hollywood mums who want their children to be babied, those kids are going to be like an army though. I hope people don't pick on one of them because 10 others will come and beat their ass.
Wanted is released June 27th.
Angelina Jolie on being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”
Angelina Jolie on her international family:
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
Angelina Jolie on Shiloh’s birth:
“We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”
Angelina Jolie on nannies:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Bel-gium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”
Angelina Jolie on artists as parents:
“Artists raise their kids differently,” she said. “We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”
She gave birth Sunday?? Wow and we are only hearing about it now? I guess we will have to wait for some confirmation or denial from reps of the pair.
9:00am Update: The Insider is confirming that Angelina did give birth.
10:30am Update: Reps for the coupl have denied that Angelina has given birth, "Angelina has not given birth, She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France."
When the star does actually give birth, media outlets across the world are gonna go crazy and photographers are gonna go ape shit trying to secure the first photo.
People report they will be living close to Victoria & David Beckham, Johnny Depp. It has
2 swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor, billiards room, 2 gyms - one for each of them, sauna and jacuzi, a forest, 20 fountains and 35 bedrooms. I feel bad for the help, they are going to be up all night cleaning after the kids.
"They'll have total privacy, which is exactly what they're after," a source told E! Online. "No one will ever be able to get pictures of them relaxing at home, it's just impossible."
Please, the paparazzi will get the photos, they build an underground tunnel if need be. Brangie are going to get married in this house, it has enough rooms for all their families and then some.

Speakong on working with Eastwood, Angelina had this to say "Amazing! I was nervous the first day, but he’s just a great all around leader, decisive and clear and dedicated to getting the story out. Every single member of the crew, he respects them and gives them his time. Every single person feels valued, everyone brings their best. I’ve never seen a director command so much respect, not because he is Clint Eastwood, but because he’s so gracious and thoughtful and connected to every single person.”
