Jack Black spills the beans: Jolie expecting twins

Angelina Jolie is indeed expecting twins, and it was Jack Black who let the news slip with a "Brady Bunch" crack. Long rumored to have two children by Brad Pitt on the way, Jolie confirmed the news during a side-by-side "Today" show interview with Black, her "Kung Fu Panda" co-star. The two are in Cannes, France, promoting the animated film.

The twins will be the 5th and 6th children for Jolie and Pitt. She didn't volunteer the information until Black dropped the hint, joking that the couple will "have as many as (the) 'Brady Bunch' when you have these." "It's confirmed?" followed "Today" interviewer Natalie Morales. "Yeah, yeah, we've confirmed that already," Jolie said. "Well, Jack's just confirmed it actually." "Is that true?", Black said jokingly. "Yeah, you did," Jolie replied. "Sorry," Black said.

Excerpts of the interview will air tonight on "Access Hollywood," with the full interview airing Thursday on NBC's "Today."

Celebrity Gossip Round-Up

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is denying recent reports that she is engaged to her long-time beau, filmmaker Ryan Piers Williams. After the actress set off a media frenzy by wearing what looked to be an engagement ring on the set of the ABC hit, her rep refuted the claims. Instead, a source told the magazine, the ring could be part of a plot twist on the show. Sex and the City writer and director Michael Patrick King appears to be refuting Cynthia Nixon's recent "spoiler" that a character will die in the upcoming movie. "You don't know how many people came up to me when I was making the movie and said, 'So is somebody going to die?'" King told the New York Times. "Yup. Happy summer. Thanks for your $10. Enjoy your Diet Coke. Someone's going to die. Like that's what I'm going to do."

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their four kids spent some time with U2 members The Edge and Bono on Sunday (May 4th) as they continued their stay on the French Riviera. According to E! Online, the celebrity couple and children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh spent time with the guitarist and singer, both of whom have homes in the area, in separate visits. The family is staying at a Villa owned by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, who's also friends with The Edge. Pitt and Jolie are in France for the Cannes Film Festival and for Jolie to give birth to another family addition. Ted Key, who created the Hazel comic strip that ended up a primetime TV show, has died at age 95, the Associated Press reports. Key died Saturday (May 3rd) at his home in the Philadelphia suburbs after a battle with cancer. Hazel, which revolved around a bossy maid, debuted in The Saturday Evening Post in 1943. It evolved into a TV series starring Shirley Booth in 1961 and ran for four years on NBC and one on NBC. Key also created the time-traveling dog and boy characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman for producer Jay Ward, who integrated them into the animated Rocky and His Friends show beginning in 1959.

ANGELINA JOLIE

Angelina was born in 1975 in Los Angeles to acting parents Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Despite regularly topping sexiest female polls Angelina was very much an ugly duckling in her younger years. At school she was bullied for her odd looks and braces. She began self harming to deal with the pain of being a social outcast. Years later on CNN she admitted, “I collected knives and always had certain things around."For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain - maybe feeling alive - and feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me.”

She flirted with the idea of becoming a funeral director but gave up this rather unusual career ambition to become an actress. After taking acting lessons and contacting various agents offers from Hollywood came flooding in. She went on to star in Hackers, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Gia and The Bone Collector. The actress has indulged in a number of romances with people she has met on set. Angelina married Johnny Lee Miller in 1996 after starring with him in cult film Hackers. They divorced a year later. Her well-publicised relationship with Billy Bob Thornton in 2000 blossomed after she met him on the set of Pushing Tin.

The outlandish couple made frequent and public displays of affection and famously wore each other’s blood in vials around their necks. Despite their obvious infatuation the romance was destined not to last. In 2002 Angelina adopted her first child Maddox after a trip to Cambodia. After her high-profile divorce from Billy Bob, she was granted sole custody of her son. Her second child Zahara was adopted from an orphanage in Ethiopia and Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt was reportedly present when she signed the papers in July 2005.

Early that year Angelina was romantically linked to the Ocean's Eleven actor who was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time. The Mr and Mrs Smith co-stars at first denied rumours of a budding relationship, but have since been the talk of the tabloids after Brad and Jennifer's five-year-marriage ended in October 2005. Angelina gave birth to Brad’s baby, named Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, in May 2006 in Namibia and he has since legally adopted her first two children. Following Shiloh's birth, a three-year-old boy from Vietnam joined the Jolie-Pitt clan. Pax is the newest arrival to the family, although Angelina is currently expecting another child.

Brad Pitt Urges Pregnant Angelina Jolie to Rest

According to reports, Brad Pitt has urged his partner Angelina Jolie to rest during her pregnancy. Sources say the actress refused to slow down after learning that she was pregnant with their fifth child.

“Every since she got pregnant, he’s been begging her to slow down and take things easy. He’s hired a nurse, nutritionist, personal chef and trainer to be on hand 24/7,” says a source. “At first Angelina seemed reluctant to accept help. But rushing around for work and looking after four kids is taking its toll and she’s started to listen to his advice.”

While the 32-year-old actress has slowed down with her work, she is said to be busy planning a quite summer wedding with Pitt. Insiders claim the couple wants to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony this summer before the baby is born. Jolie and Pitt already have three adopted children and one biological daughter.

More news branching off ‘Tree of Life’

By Michael Corcoran : The word from Smithville is that Brad Pitt will be done filming his role in Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life” in about three weeks.

The shoot, currently on a Tuesday to Saturday schedule, is expected to go until June. This means all the tabloid reports about Angelina Jolie having her twins in Texas are as wrong as just about everything else that’s been reported. One article, for instance, wrote about how the Pitt-Jolie clan wanted to live near the Smithville Regional Hospital in case she went into labor. Well, the Smithville Hospital doesn’t have a maternity ward.

Can’t say we’ll miss the paparazzi, who have gone to incredible lengths to get anything on Pitt, Jolie and their four kids. One pair of snoops even posed as wedding planners to take photos of the Hyatt Lost Pines exclusive Litton House, purported to be where the P-J brood were going to stay. The Star ran the spread, even though the superstar family is renting a ranch in Cedar Creek owned by pro wrestler Mark “the Undertaker” Calaway. Helicopters have been whirring overhead at the compound, with shots showing up here.

Life & Style Weekly broke the Undertaker/Pitt plot, but there was so much else wrong in the item (there’s no Smithville-Crawford Municipal Airport) that I didn’t believe it at first, but an insider confirmed to me that it was true.

Perhaps the craziest lie picked up around the world is that Pitt offered the Hyatt Lost Pines only $3,000 a month to stay in the $2,000 a night Litton House. Do you think Brad, Angie and the kids would check into a hotel, where the paps could also get rooms? The plan was always to rent a secluded house near Smithville.

Angelina is related to Hillary, Pitt to Obama

New York (ANI): If Barrack Obama becomes the next US Prez, then actor Brad Pitt would have a distant cousin in the White House and if Hillary Clinton gets the vote, then Angelina Jolie will have a distant cousin in office, say genealogists.

According to researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Barack Obama is a distant cousin of Brad Pitt while Hillary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Alanis Morissette, and Celine Dion. The researchers found that Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769.

Clinton and Jolie, meanwhile, are ninth cousins, twice removed because they are both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718. "When you get back into your ancestry, you eventually find that you're related to lots of people," the New York Daily News quoted genealogist Christopher Child, who guided the presidential research for the New England Historic Genealogical Society, as saying. "Presidential candidates are no exception," he added.

The study was based entirely on vital records kept by cities, counties and towns. Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette, the research found. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. Presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins.

Meanwhile, Republican Presidential hopeful Senator John McCain is a sixth cousin of First Lady Laura Bush. "It shows that lots of different people can be related; people you wouldn't necessarily expect," Child said. Obama has the most prolific presidential lineage, featuring Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, as well as Gerald Ford, Harry S Truman and James Madison.

Taaz Gives Me A Reasonable Excuse To Post Pictures Of Angelina Jolie

On the left is a picture of plain old Angelina Jolie. But on the right…well we’ve got Angelina after she’s been through the Taaz virtual makeover service.

The service, which launches today, uses some of the same tricks as many of the Flash-based photo editing tools we’ve covered in the past. Taaz has added proprietary facial recognition software so that it can, for example, figure out where your lips are when you want to put on lipstick. Taaz also differs from normal photo editing tools in that it is specifically set up to help users (mostly women) see how they might look with different hair, eyes, makeup, etc. Finished makeovers can then be shared with other users, rated, commented, etc.

The tools are dead simple to use (thanks, Adobe) and I had a lot of fun testing the service. See the image below for me with cool hair and a lot of red stuff on my cheeks. They’ve also included a number of original articles on beauty and style, and helpful hints like this one: “Contrary to popular belief, matching your eye shadow to your eye color enhances your eyes, making them pop.” Good to know.

DVD: Beowulf (12)

109 mins, Warner Home Video, Action/Drama, also available to buy. Starring: Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Crispin Glover, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich. ROBERT Zemeckis's computer animated adventure re-imagines the oldest surviving poem in the English language. In Denmark AD507, the sins of corrupt King Hrothgar (Hopkins) condemn his people to brutality at the hands of savage beast Grendel (Glover).

After a particularly vicious attack, Hrothgar sends word that he will give half his gold to any man who can slay the hideous creature. Soon after, valiant warrior Beowulf (Winstone) arrives by long boat. Aided by his loyal sidekick Wiglaf (Gleeson), Beowulf wrestles with Grendel and rips the beasts' claw from its socket, fatally wounding his prey. The ogre dies and Grendel's mother (Jolie) vows revenge, exploiting Beowulf's lust for power to effectively seal the kingdom's fate.

Utilising the same sophisticated motion capture technology as The Polar Express, Beowulf is a smorgasbord for the senses, boasting dazzling fight sequences, lusty serving wenches and mythical, demonic creatures. The animators push the state-of-the-art technology to the limit, including a vertiginous aerial battle with a fire-breathing dragon.

Dazzling as the visuals may be, the technology still cannot replicate realistic eye movement. Close-up, the characters look like dolls, with lifeless, glassy orbs replacing the windows to their souls. Winstone's Cock-er-ney growl is horribly misplaced next to the rest of the cast, many of whom attempt a Nordic twang, including John Malkovich as the king's snide adviser Unferth.

The story sags badly in the middle section and the tone errs towards the unintentionally camp or unnecessarily risque, including carefully positioned swords sparing the naked hero's blushes in an Austin Powers style. What do you think? Have your say.

Angelina Jolie has had a few ‘close calls’ working as UN goodwill ambassador

Angelina Jolie admits that she’s had a few close calls ever since taking on the role of UN goodwill ambassador. The ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ star revealed that she has used some desperate tactics while paying a visit to danger spots the world over as part of her work for the UN.

“I’ve had close calls. I’ve been in countries where people tried to take my passport – I’ve had to hide in a room because there were people outside who were dangerous,” the Daily Express quoted her, as saying.

The actress also opened up about her political activism, insisting she was privileged to be able to work for a good cause. “As for political activism, I’ve been educating myself on things that are happening around the world,” she adds.

“It’s a privilege to be able to do it. I feel motivated to say or do something because I’m in a position to do so.” However, she is clear that even her work as a UN ambassador and acting have to take a back seat when it comes to her children.

“Obviously my priorities are my children. They are growing up. I’ll be doing even less work because that’s what I prefer to do,” she said. “I’m a mom first. I don’t know if I’m as much an ambassador as I’m a citizen of the world. I just want to learn about the world and its cultures. Lastly, I’m an actress.”

Jolie is currently said to be expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt. The couple have one biological child Shiloh, and are three adopted kids – Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

J.Lo's twin babies could be millionaires

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - What's a celebrity baby worth? Possibly up to $6 million, if there are two of them and they belong to singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.

That's about the price that People magazine is reported to be offering for exclusive U.S. rights to the first photos of the soon-to-be-born twins of Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, according to a report in Advertising Age citing people familiar with negotiations.

The sultry performer is due to give birth to her first babies sometime in the next few weeks. People magazine, which this week featured exclusive pictures of singer Christina Aguilera and her 5 week-old baby Max, declined to confirm or deny the reports, saying it never discussed such negotiations.

"Celebrities have always trusted People to handle their most personal moments with sensitivity and accuracy. For more than 33 years we've brought our readers celebrity baby photos ... and will continue to deliver for our readers. Beyond that, we do not discuss specifics of any negotiations," People said in a statement.

Should Angelina Jolie Worry: Playboy Playmates Want Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has stripped down for many film roles. Even recently, the mother of four went full frontal in the film "Beowulf" even though she was so slim at the time she had to be digitally enhanced to add some curves and get back to the once voluptuous Angelina. But she has never gone buff for Playboy. And now some curvy buxom blondes that take their clothes off for a living want her boyfriend Brad Pitt. Should Angelina Jolie worry? Probably not, it is all for charity. In Touch Weekly reports that Playboy Playmates Bridget Marquardt, Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison headed to New Orleans to help out Brad Pitt with his charitable works in the Big Easy.

The weekly entertainment magazine reports that the stars of E!’s The Girls Next Door threw a benefit at the House of Blues in early February to raise money for Brad’s Make It Right foundation, which aids victims of Hurricane Katrina. “We’re so excited to partner with Make It Right because their resources go specifically to building new homes,” says Bridget. Pitt and Jolie have a home in New Orleans that they stay in for brief periods of time when Brad is in town to promote his project.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt 'expecting twins'

ANGELINA Jolie is reported to be pregnant and this time she's expecting twins. The star already has four children, including a biological daughter with partner Brad Pitt. The 32-year-old actress is planning to sell confirmation of the news and donate the money raised to charity, according to Us Weekly magazine.

The A Mighty Heart star - who has three adopted children, six-year-old Maddox, four-year-old Pax and three-year-old Zahara, and a 19-month-old biological daughter Shiloh with the Fight Club actor Brad - did nothing to dispel pregnancy rumours by wearing a flowing vintage Hermes dress to the recent Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) Awards in Los Angeles. One onlooker said: "It was so obvious she was pregnant. You could clearly see the outline of the bump."

The couple - who met on the set of 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith - have never hidden their desire to expand their brood. When Jolie was asked last year how many children she would like, she replied: "It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14. Four is kind of kicking our a**, but we kind of feel like, damn it, we're up for the challenge!" Pitt added: "I think we'll c**p out somewhere between seven and nine."

Cover Story: Angelina Jolie Pregnant!

Of all the A-list names on the red carpet at Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, Angelina Jolie was the one on everyone's lips as they wondered what the Oscar winner might be hiding beneath that long, billowing Hermes gown — an unusual style pick for an actress known for tight, body-hugging outfits

And now OK! has learned that Angelina is indeed expecting baby no. 2 with boyfriend Brad Pitt and that the actress is over the moon about bringing another child into the world.

"Angie has wanted a second biological baby for some time now," a friend of the star tells OK!. "And the minute she's pregnant, she just glows. She's the type that doesn't want to scream it to everyone, but she has the quiet, expectant mother glow. Her smile says she's the luckiest woman in the world."

But while all is well now, the pal says it did take some persistence for Angelina to conceive. Earlier this month, OK! reported that the star was trying to work her upcoming press tour for her new film Wanted around a possible pregnancy.

The actress also sought the help of a nutritionist. "When Angelina decided to get pregnant, the nutritionist told her that she needed to start eating more calories a day," one source tells OK! "She was averaging 1,000 to 1,100 calories a day, and the nutritionist wanted her to bump it up to between 1,600 and 1,800 a day."

A Compromise for Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is used to getting her way with Brad Pitt. Ever since their relationship began the running joke in many celebrity circles was that Brad was under the thumb of a strong willed Angelina. Have the table turned? A report claims that Jolie now realizes that she must compromise with her non-husband or risk losing him.

In Touch Weekly is reporting that Angelina is more willing to let Brad call the shots these days. “She knows she has to pick her battles and make concessions for the sake of the relationship and the children,” notes Patti Stanger, host of Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker. “She’s made a very wise decision.”

“Brad felt that the time had come to give Angie boundaries,” an insider says. “It’s given her a deeper respect for him.” Brad wants New Orleans to be home for the family while Jolie wants to travel the globe. But now the magazine reports that Angelina eventually gave in to Brad’s wish to set down roots for the kids. “Now’s the time to make cookies and do finger paintings at home,” an insider says. “They can discover the world when they’re older.”

She has even made an effort to make up with Brad's parents. Although Brad knows she and his mom, Jane, don’t get along perfectly, Angelina agreed to take the family to Missouri to visit his parents on January 2. “The kids had so much fun,” Brad’s sister-in-law Lisa said. “It was great.”

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Birthday Bash for the Non Blob

It's birthday time for the non-blob little girl of the family. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's little baby girl Zahara turns three today reports Us Weekly magazine. The magazine notes that Pitt and Jolie (who rocked the red carpet at last night's Critics' Choice Awards) adopted Zahara in Ethiopia in 2005 (her name means "flower" in Swahili). When they adopted the girl — whom they affectionately call "Z" — "she was 6 months old and not 9 lbs," Jolie said at the time. "Her skin, you could squeeze it, it stuck together. She now looks absolutely adorable as she is packed all over the globe by her nomadic parents.

On Z's early days Jolie adds, "It was terrifying," Shortly after Brangelina took the baby under their wings, she "gained 6 lbs. ... We are calling her chubby," Jolie said in 2005. "She's, you know, she's just a totally different baby." Z's now feistier than ever, Jolie has said. When the family welcomed daughter Shiloh in 2006, Jolie told Anderson Cooper: "Z's a little jealous because she's still a little girl." Well at least they haven't dubbed little Zahara as an outcast or a blob. It should be a fabulous birthday bas as daddy Pitt usually plans the parties and certainly now that Z has left the terrible twos she will get her birthday party.

Angelina Jolie enjoys shooting sex scenes

Angelina Jolie admits that one of her favorite parts of being an actress is filming sex scenes. The 32-year-old mother of four says during sex scenes you can “just enjoy each other” with not strings attached. “A physical thing is, for some people, like me, very easy. You find something about that person that you love and you enjoy, that you truly embrace and have fun with, and you just enjoy each other,” said Jolie. “You’re two adults and you enjoy each other and you know that doesn’t mean anything – whatever it was is left there.”

Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt filmed a sex scene in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ and soon after began a relationship and a family. The couple now have a biological daughter and three adopted children. Earlier this year Jolie has to film a sex scene for ‘The Good Shepherd’ with one of Pitt’s best friends, Matt Damon. Jolie still insisted the scene wasn’t awkward saying, “In reality both people we’re involved with couldn’t have cared less about that because they know us. It’s one of those things where it’s like the least threatening person. You know, ‘Good luck to you guys, I hope it’s not too awkward.” “The difference between kissing Matt and kissing Brad is simple,” added Jolie. “One’s a friend and the other is my lover.”

Angelina Jolie' weight loss was triggered by the death of her mother

Angelina Jolie says her dramatic weight loss was triggered by the death of her mother. The 32-year-old actress - whose mother Marcheline Bertrand passed away after losing her battle with ovarian cancer in January - claims the emotional turmoil she went through caused the pounds to fall off and is adamant it had nothing to do with a desire to "look thin". She said: "I have always been lean and this year I lost my mother and I've gone through a lot.

"The thing that’s disturbing is that instead of people saying, 'This looks like a person that's actually dealing with something, probably from emotions.' They say, 'Does she fit into skinny jeans and look thin?' "I want people to understand who I am as a person is not somebody that's trying to look thin, but just trying to work through a very difficult year."

Angelina also revealed her partner Brad Pitt was "extraordinary" when her mother died. She added to Grazia magazine: "He is just a great friend and when my mother passed he was so great. He sat with me and held her hand. After she passed away he spend the night asking me and my brother about our mother and got us to tell funny stories about her. He focused on all the love and joy we were fortunate enough to have had. He was extraordinary."

Defying Angelina Jolie: Blue Eyed 'Blob' Makes Her Move

Who needs Angelina Jolie's approval? Jolie has called her little blue eyed and blonde haired cutie "a blob" in one interview and in another she reportedly was not very kind to Shiloh. Earlier this month it was reported that in yet another interview the report claimed that she dubbed her beautiful little daughter an "outcast" as she looked like Brad.

Shiloh got a little bit of revenge on Mom this week as she has been granted some sort of a title of the most influential celebrity baby. Who comes up with this stuff? Forbes magazine analyzed the amount of press attention bestowed on celebrity children under 5-years-old to determine which A-list tots were the most influential.

Angelina Jolie can keep Ethiopian daughter

The mother of Zahara says she is happy she is happy for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to raise her baby. Angelina Jolie adopted the little girl more than two years ago when Zahara was malnourished and thought to be an orphan. But Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, the woman who claims to be Zaraha's mother, never signed papers to give up her daughter. The birth family claim they were misled. They say a local official told the immediate family they would see the biological child again and maintain contact.

Reports surfaced last week alleging the paperwork accompanying the adoption was wrong in stating the girl was an orphan because her mother, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, is still alive.Lebiso is alleged to have told U.S. magazine In Touch, "I want my daughter to come home to see where she is from." But Lebiso has denied making such comments, and says her words were misinterpreted by "so-called journalists" who claimed to be working for Jolie.

The adoption of two-year-old Zahara was ruled legal on Friday by the agency that first approved it in 2005. Dr Tsegaye Berthe, head of the Wide Horizons for Children Agency slammed the rumours Lebiso wanted the girl back as "media hype by unethical journalists." Lebiso also said, "I think my daughter is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world-famous lady. I wish them all the success they both deserve."

Angelina Jolie plays “seductress” in bed with Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently admitted that their love life gets thrown by the wayside sometimes as they are so busy raising their four children. It seems that the couple have found time to keep their romance interesting with bedroom role play and trips to the sex shop.

A source reveals that Jolie has more than one reason to play “seductress” to Brad Pitt. “Angie’s having fun playing the role of seductress. But she also has a purpose – really she wants another baby!” says the source. <><>

The couple recently made a trip to the high end sex shop Coco de Mer in London where witnesses say they bought a bag full of products. “They were here and they went for everything. After about an hour, they left with a big bag full of purchases,” says a witness.

Jolie Tipped For Oscar Success?

Julia Roberts may not be a fan of Angelina Jolie but the Spirit Award’s certainly are, with the actress scoring a nod on Tuesday for her role in A Mighty Heart. "She could make any film she wants," Dawn Hudson of Film Independent said after the announcement. "It's a feat for such a movie star to be so much in that role."

The flick – which was co-produced by Brad Pitt – sees the 32-year-old play the wife of murdered American journalist Daniel Pearl. Whispers claim the actress/humanitarian could score her second Academy Award following her first golden gong for best supporting role in the feisty film Girl Interrupted.

Angelina Jolie sets double standard for Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has reportedly set a double standard when it comes to her and Brad Pitt’s ex spouses. The actress keeps in touch with her to ex husbands, Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, but forbids Pitt from having anything to do with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. Pitt claimed he and Aniston maintained a “deep relationship” despite their divorce, but Jolie has allegedly refused to allow it.

“I think Brad bristles over the double standard that Angie imposes. He’s not suppose to talk to Jen, but Angie makes it clear she’s not giving up her friendship with her ex-husbands,” says a source. “It must make Brad wonder just how committed Angie really is to him and their relationship.”

‘Beowulf’— a historical experience

OUISVILLE — Most of us have had some sort of encounter with “Beowulf” at some point in our lives. For many, like me, that first introduction came in the underclassmen years in high school, when a strict English teacher made us read the poem in Old English and memorize different parts to get a feel for the language and the way the author used it. I remember it being a very painful time.

But as I’ve grown older, I look back with pride on the fact that I studied the poem, which was written by an Anglo-Saxon sometime around 1000 A.D., according to scholars, though it most certainly was the result, at least on a base level, of oral tradition, a myth from somewhere in Scandinavia that took place between the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. It is, of course, an epic, complete with a hero, monsters, good and evil, swords, travels, curses and all the fun things a classic epic is supposed to contain.

Up to this point, my knowledge of the poem, except on the rare occasion I answer a question about it in a trivia game, has not really enriched my life in any meaningful (or applicable) way. I’m sure it’s the same for most of us. Until now. With the release of the sort-of animated movie of the same name, what I remembered from that sleepy morning class 20 or so years ago has come in handy. And while the movie is a bit different from the way I remember the poem, it is nonetheless worth the price of admission, and is groundbreaking in its own way.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt spotted in London sex shop

Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted shopping in a London sex shop while they were in the UK for the premiere of Angelina’s new animated film ‘Beowulf’ last week. According to reports, 32-year-old Jolie and Brad, 43, enjoyed some retail therapy after posing on the red carpet - at the plush Coco De Mer in London’s Covent Garden, an erotic emporium that stocks 14 Carat Gold Vibrators priced at £249.00 ($498) each and Diamante Nipple Covers at £85.00 ($170) a pair.

An onlooker told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: ‘Brad and Angelina ordered a car to take them directly to the sex store and they browsed the products for half and hour before leaving with a bag of goodies, they also went to look at Ann Summers in Soho.’ Meanwhile, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, the biological mother of Brad and Angelina’s adopted daughter Zahara, has insisted that she is happy for the couple to raise the child, after previous reports suggested she wanted her back in Ethiopia.
