Angelina Jolie’s Parenting Tips

Angelina Jolie’s Parenting Tips

Well, regardless of how you feel about Angelina Jolie, she is the mother of six kids. She says mothers need to “cherish” every minute they have with their children. Who would argue with that?

“Just enjoy every minute of it because it goes so fast and it is the best time in your life. And strap them to you and hang out with them and sleep in the same bed with them and just love every second of it.”

It does go by so fast, doesn’t it? Angelina said part of the reason she agreed to star in ‘The Tourist’ with Johnny Depp was because of the opportunity it would give her kids.

“You just have to focus on the positive side. I got to spend two months in Venice filming which no one gets to do, with a co-star who’s so lovely, so it’s all hard to say no to.
“We make a point to stay together as a family when we’re filming, in this town you’ve got to. We take turns working so everybody packed up and went to Venice.
“I think some people are affected by fame, I’m lucky that I have a lot of kids who keep me very, very grounded.”

Angelina and Brad Pitt do seem to make the most of the opportunities that come their way as actors for their kids, don’t they?

Justin Bieber and Angelina Jolie: Say Cheeeese!

Justin Bieber and Angelina Jolie: Say Cheeeese!

Millions of women would kill just to stand next to Justin Bieber. Sadly, scarily, we're not really exaggerating.

But don't put Angelina Jolie in that group. The actress posed alongside Justin on the red carpet of Sunday's Golden Globes, much to her chagrin, apparently.

A friend of Justin's named "jonmchu" posted the following TwitPic yesterday, claiming it was snapped when Bieber met Jolie on the red carpet. But we question its legitimacy. After all, how can any female stand next to this 16-year old and maintain her composure in such a manner?!?

Justin didn't mind the snub. At the event, he Tweeted:

"Backstage at the Golden Globes. Everyone is here. This is nuts!!"

I’m a little nervous as we wait for it to start - Ricky Gervais is so unpredictable! LOL!
Ricky starts right off with the Charlie Sheen jokes. Gotta love it! And then right to a snarky one about “The Tourist“. Omg! I want a shot of Angelina’s reaction to that. Johnny found it funny.

Does Michelle Pfeiffer have a fountain of youth in her backyard? She does not age – ever!

Finally – a few more photos! Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie,Julia Stiles, Kaley Cuoco, Jennifer Love Hewitt. Halle Berry and Michelle Williams added!

Updated: Julianne Hough, Elizabeth Moss, and Olivia Wilde’s shoes! LOL!

Johnny Depp shots up finally! He looks fantastic and is so happy tonight. Every time they pan to him, he’s smiling away.

What do you think so far? Any surprises?

Angelina Jolie: (Not) Expecting Baby No. 7!!!

No. Way.

Having just gotten married** to Brad Pitt, we knew Angelina Jolie would be yearning for another child. But we never expected it would happen so soon.

It's official, apparently. In Touch hath declared that the seventh child of the celebrity world's golden couple is on the way. At some point. Possibly.

Congratulations!!!!

LUCKY 7: Hey, at least they didn't say she's pregnant. Claiming Brangelina "set a date" to bring home their next child leaves things much more open-ended.

 Angelina Jolie: (Not) Expecting Baby No. 7!!!

While it's true that Brangelina did visit Namibia recently, it's doubtful they made any plans to adopt yet another child. They have their hands full with six.

Plus, this magazine will likely say they're splitting up or that Brad nailed Jen by next week. Zero credibility. Lots of humorous value, but no credibility.

Film Critic Slams Most Of Hollywood

 

 Film Critic Slams Most Of Hollywood

British film critic David Thomson basically went NUTS on Hollywood this morning. The ­Editor of The Biographical Dictionary Of Film ripped apart almost every A-lister I can think of during an interview with The Daily Mail. Here is just a sample of what he had to say about today’s top celebs:

• HUGH JACKMAN: He is hot (I suppose). Now, he just needs to be interesting.
• KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: She is ­astonishingly beautiful. But Keira is about as interesting as a creme brulée where too much refrigeration has killed flavor with ice burn. She is still more credible as a faintly animated photographer’s model than as an actress.
• BEN AFFLECK: On one hand I have always had a soft spot for Affleck. But my other view is that he is boring, ­complacent and criminally lucky to have got away with everything so far.
• BRAD PITT: Hardly anything he touches now is less than ‘precious’ and ‘awesome’ — it can’t be long before he begins to look very tired.
• HILARY SWANK: In nearly everything she has done, she has been pretty, dull, ordinary and incapable of lifting the film clear of a sanctimonious mud.
• JENNIFER ANISTON: She’s in her 40s now and her £5 ­million-a-movie career ­cannot go on for much longer. But rather in the manner of Doris Day, while one can make gentle fun of Jennifer Aniston, it’s hard to dislike her.
• DREW BARRYMORE: I can’t help finding it shocking, as well as startling, that Drew Barrymore was born so recently (in 1975), and yet seems to have been here, and a problem, for so long.
• GEORGE CLOONEY: It’s clear, as he approaches 50, that George Clooney is the most liked actor in U.S. ­pictures. And it is also clear that he knows it.
• MATT DAMON: What’s most interesting about Damon is the very lack of good looks — and the feeling of a squashed and rebuilt face.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies He Had Angelina Jolie's Blood

Billy Bob Thornton has dispelled rumors he wore a vial of Angelina Jolie's blood around his neck, blaming the public image of the couple as "vampires" for the bizarre story. Thornton married the actress in 2000 and they frequently made headlines with reports about their love life, including speculation they kept one another's blood in tiny bottles.

But the "Armageddon" star insists their relationship was not so eccentric - the pair actually wore lockets with small smears of blood. He tells Britain's Total Film magazine, "(There are rumours that) I wear blood around my neck and all that horses**t. (It was) a clear locket you'd put your grandmother's picture in. That's what we had, Angelina and I. And it was her idea that we literally prick our fingers and rub the blood on the glass in the locket and wear it."

"If it had been Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, it would have been the most romantic story: this amazing couple that loved each other so much that when they were apart they would have these lockets where they'd pricked their fingers, like blood brothers. Angie and I do it and we're these vampire blood-sucking creatures who wear tanks of blood around our necks."

Angelina Jolie Shops for Christmas From Catalogs

Angelina Jolie has to buy all of her Christmas presents from catalogs - because she travels so much she needs her gifts delivered to whichever country she is in over the holiday season. The "Tomb Raider" star has a large family to buy for, including partner Brad Pitt and their six children, but the actress struggles to organize how to carry her presents around on her global trips.

She explains, "I have to do a lot of my Christmas shopping in catalogs because I'm usually in a different country and I need it shipped to the next country we're going to. So we try to do that or buy things locally in whatever country we end up in."

Still, during her recent trip to Namibia Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had some Christmas shopping. They were spotted at a mall on Thursday in Windhoek on December 23.

Phillip Noyce Won't Direct Sequel to Angelina Jolie's 'Salt'

 Phillip Noyce is not on board for a follow-up to "Salt", which has Angelina Jolie as lead actress. In contrary to report mentioning he is interested to return to the possible sequel, the helmer has just stated that he has no plan to make the second film.

"Those 3 [alternate] Blu-ray cuts [of the film] represent just about everything I have to offer on Evelyn Salt", Noyce tells Moviehole. He goes on explaining, "If there ever is a sequel, better its directed by someone with a completely fresh take on what I believe could be a totally entertaining and complex series of stories."

As for his upcoming projects, the filmmaker shares, "Christopher Hampton, of 'Atonement' fame, is currently in negotiations to rework the 'Dirt Music' script, with Russell Crowe confirmed to play singer/song writer Luther Fox. Its a film about the transporting power of love and music. I'm also working with 'Salt' producer Sunil Perkash and writer Bill Kelly ('Enchanted') on another romantic drama called 'Timeless', being financed by Relativity."

"Salt" sequel itself has not been given a greenlight though the July 23 release has earned as much as $293.5 million worldwide. Angelina Jolie once said she is up to reprise her role as an undercover Russian spy in another installment of the action thriller.

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Attend ‘The Tourist’ Premiere In Spain

 Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Attend ‘The Tourist’ Premiere In Spain

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are certainly making the rounds for ‘The Tourist’. First we saw Hollywood’s favorite couple in Germany, then in Italy and today we have new shots of Brad and Angie in Spain.

Angelina Jolie has been keeping it classy on the red carpet. She’s never really one to rock a ton of color, but I would love to see her in something bright or floral. Unfortunately, I doubt that’s in her game plan. Black, white and beige seem to be her safe zone.

Eva Mendes Inspired by Angelina Jolie to Direct

Eva Mendes was inspired to make her directorial debut after seeing Angelina Jolie take charge of the camera for an upcoming feature film. Mendes put forward a movie called "California Romanza", which stars Christina Ricci, as part of the annual Glamour Reel Moments event in Los Angeles earlier this year.

She admits Jolie, who is currently working on a Bosnian war movie, inspired her - and she also credits Kathryn Bigelow's award-winning work on "The Hurt Locker" with making her want to direct a film.

Mendes tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "I loved the whole experience. I believe we need more women behind the camera. This year, with Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar and Angelina Jolie directing a film, it's a great time for women to step behind the camera."

"I certainly felt very empowered by it when I made my film. It's about time we heard more women's voices and points of view in cinema because it's a male-dominated industry. It's starting to equal out a bit, though, which is exciting."

More Kids For Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie?!

 More Kids For Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie?!

Is Brangelina trying to give the Duggar’s a run for their money? Angelina Jolie was on Larry King Live this week and told Larry that she and Brad haven’t ruled out more kids!

The Tourist star said that while they have “no plans at the moment,” to add any more kids to their already large brood, she and Brad haven’t decided against it.

“But we’re always open [to the idea],”

She also said that when she and Brad are out with the kids they try to hide from the paps, and make it as normal for the kids as possible;

“Well, we try not to get them into the middle of it,” she explained. “We try to get them around things and under things.” “We just have to kind of smile and say, ‘Don’t worry, it’s not scary. They just like to take pictures…As a parent, the only thing you can do is try to make sure that they don’t feel it’s a threat, you don’t act like it’s a threat, and you just keep smiling so they don’t feel anything negative.”

I think that’s a good way to look at it. And the kids don’t look too bothered by the cameras either. It also seems that we’ve been seeing a lot of the kids lately, and coincidentally Angelina has a movie to promote!

What do you think about Brad and Angelina having more kids? They seem to be busy enough with the 6 they already have!
