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.
