Catfight! Jennifer Aniston: What Angelina Jolie Did Was “Really Uncool”

In the December issue of Vogue, Jennifer Aniston opens up about Angelina Jolie — and then some. When first asked about Jolie, Aniston asked the reporter, Jonathan Van Meter, to turn off the tape recorder for a moment.

She did, however, want to go on the record about one thing: She said she was bothered that Jolie felt the need to recount a detailed timeline of exactly how she fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. (Pitt was still married to Aniston at the time).

“There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” Aniston said. “I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss.”

Aniston then shook her head in disbelief.

“That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool,” Aniston said.

Oprah Tells Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie Is the Love of His Life

As promised, here’s our exclusive coverage of Brad Pitt’s first interview with Oprah Winfrey at Harpo Studios in Chicago Wednesday since his split from the Talk Show Queen’s BFF Jennifer Aniston. The Boots Girls went the extra mile to score tickets to the show and we spare no detail about the, at times, slightly awkward interview. Pitt filmed the show to promote his new movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, with his co-star Cate Blanchett.

Brad did most of his interview solo at the beginning of the taping and the first order of business Oprah brought up was the Obama victory rally that they both attended separately in Grant Park the night before.

“I would have invited you out with me to the rally last night,” Oprah immediately told Brad when he sat down for the interview. “But I was down with the people and I didn’t think you would want to be.”

However, Brad reassured her that he was down with the people also as he rode the CTA to the park. “I took the tram, shoulder to shoulder,” he told Oprah.

The topic of his lady love Angelina Jolie and their six children together came up often during their conversation. Oprah acknowledged to Brad that Angelina is the love of his life and she asked if this is the happiest he’s ever been.

“Dare I say,” Brad said.

“Dare I see,” Oprah said implying this is the happiest she’s seen him.

Not surprisingly, Oprah also asked Brad if he wanted to have more children.

“Probably,” he said. “It’s [parenthood] the greatest endeavor I’ve ever taken on. Why stop now?”

However, not everyone in the studio shared that same sentiment. When Blanchett later came on stage during the taping and realized that Brad and Angelina have six children and counting, she turned to Brad and said “sick”. The Boots girls honestly don’t know if Cate, who has three children of her own, was complimenting or contemplating Brad’s decision!

Although, Brad did also say that he can only handle being left alone with four of his children at a time and that they are the “funniest people”.

We’d have to agree! He revealed that Shiloh is in a stage right where she will only respond to the names John and Peter! Ha! Pax, on the other hand, wasn’t so funny a while back when Brad put him in timeout and he rebelled by peeing on the timeout chair. Now that’s something to say “sick” about!

On a random note, Blanchett surprisingly told the audience that the act of spooning is very important when looking for your mate. “Your bodies need to fit perfectly together,” she said.

We never expected that to come from her mouth — the audience and The Boots Girls were laughing out loud!

Brad noticeably closed up when a woman asked him a question about his tattoos via an O satellite. He refused to visibly expose or even talk about any of them. He said that it was a personal matter and recommended that the audience members share the experience of getting a tatoo with someone they love.

Brangelina clan requires six nannies

What does it take to keep the Jolie-Pitt household running smoothly? A fleet of cars and a half-dozen nannies, for starters.

“We’ve provided them with more than 20 Volkswagens while they’re here in Berlin,” Mya Walters, a public-relations manager for the car company, told Life & Style magazine.

The magazine reports that the Pitt-Jolie Berlin digs also have a dinner table that seats 16 — that’s just a couple extra seats when you factor in their own family of eight and the six nannies the couple sometimes requires.

Angelina Jolie in Afghan appeal

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and Oscar-nominated actress Angelina Jolie appeals for more support for Afghan refugees returning home.
On her three-day visit, Jolie travelled to Nangahar province as well as the Lower Sheikh Mesri and Tangi settlement sites where recent returnees from Pakistan are living on desolate, desert land in tattered tents and makeshift shelters.
The actress spoke to children, men and women who are in the process of rebuilding their lives.
The Goodwill Ambassador is calling for more international commitment to solve this problem. Through her visit, she hopes to increase awareness of the refugee issue ahead of an international conference on return and reintegration to be held in Kabul next month.

Angelina Jolie: Brad Convinced Me to Get Pregnant

Angelina Jolie says she had only intended to adopt children – until her love for Brad Pitt changed her mind.

“I think one of the life changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do,” Jolie, 33, tells W magazine, in an article featuring photos taken by Pitt of her breastfeeding.

But when she saw Pitt, 44, with adopted children Maddox and Zahara, “I knew that he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace,” Jolie says.

“I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to (getting pregnant),” she says. “I suddenly wanted to. It’s one of those things you can’t explain.”

Angelina Jolie breastfeeding photos

Angelina Jolie will be featured on the cover of the November issue of W breastfeeding one her twins. The photo is said to be part of a touching series shot by Brad Pitt.

Touching series. Sure. You know Brad just wanted people to know he’s banging Angelina Jolie and that he can take nude pics of her anytime he wanted. He’s basically taunting everyone saying, “Look, even my kid can suck on her tit. The best you can do is sit there with your hand down your pants chaffing yourself.”

“More Kids” For Brad & Angelina

Angelina Jolie, accompanied by Brad Pitt, made her first red carpet appearance since welcoming twins Knox and Vivienne, at Saturday’s Changeling premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.

Sizzling in a strapless, black Atelier Versace gown, paired with Sergio Rossi heels and Mikimoto pearl earrings, Jolie shared her body after baby secret:

“A good dress!” Jolie told Usmagazine.com.

She continued: “I just run around with my kids, and I’m breastfeeding. I think that does something.”

The proud mom said her older kids Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2, like doting on the twins.

“They’re funny,” Jolie told Us. “They want to help a lot now, but they’re still so little, so it’s like trying to change a diaper, you have to be careful because they squeeze them so tight.”

When asked if she would consider adopting another child, Jolie told reporters: “We’re going to have more kids one way or another.”

Angelina Jolie at “The Changeling” Press Conference – and Looks Radiant at Premiere with Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have made their first public appearance together since the birth of her twins in July.

The couple, who have been dogged by rumours of relationship trouble, looked the picture of unity as they attended the premiere of her new film, The Changeling, in New York.

Wearing a tight, strapless black dress, Angelina showed off her trim figure, as well as two new additions to the tattoo on her arm.

- from dailymail

When the news conference followed the debut of “Changeling” to journalists on Thursday at the New York Film Festival, there were lots of whispers of “Where’s Angelina Jolie?”

The belief that she’d be present had been fueled by comments from a spokesman for the Toronto International Film Festival, who suggested last month that TIFF passed on showcasing “Changeling” because Jolie couldn’t be present for the gala premiere.

Presumably, she was too busy with her and Brad Pitt’s new twins. So, therefore, the assumption was widely made that she’d attend the news conference at the New York Film Festival, of course. After all, Jolie is currently in New York getting ready to attend the fest premiere of “Changeling” this Saturday night.

Director Clint Eastwood was present at the news conference yesterday, but there was never a plan for Angelina Jolie to be part of the meet-the-press event, says a spokesman for Universal Pictures. Just the premiere. Nor was there ever a plan to take “Changeling” to Toronto, which suggests TIFF didn’t really pass on it.

“We never planned to go and never showed them the film for consideration, always aiming toward New York,” says Universal’s exec VP of publicity Michael Moses. “It wasn’t at all a matter of Angelina’s availability.”
