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.
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.
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.
I told you that i was going to get my hands on every single photo of Angelina Jolie's baby bump .. and here's the latest one! Angelina Jolie was spotted with partner Brad Pitt and the kids in Texas, yesterday.
They family spent some time together shopping for toys at EB Games/GameStop ... the kids must be extra happy! The baby bump is still sorta' small ... but you can see it. Angie always looks good in simple black ... but Brad looks a bit raggedy to me though.
