Pitt And Jolie In Trouble?

There’s major tension between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie these days, insiders reveal.

“The relationship isn’t working.”

Their latest woes are over where to live during downtime. Brad, 43, wants to go back to LA, and Angie, 32, who’s looking skinnier by the day, “has no interest in the California-beach-bum lifestyle Brad longs for.”

Hmm, trouble in paradise?

Angelina Gives Free Lapdances

After making her directorial debut at the Tribeca Film Festival last week, Angelina Jolie went to a party at Hotel Gansevoort and gave actor Olivier Martinez a lap dance after having some wine.

"She turned to him on the banquette and was shaking it in front of him. She was giving him a lap dance," another reveler tells Us. "She was looking over her shoulder, tossing a glance his way." As another partygoer describes it, "It was very, very flirty."

Well it seems Olivier's having no troubles getting over his bust-up with Kylie - especially since he's getting that kind of treatment from the likes of Angelina Jolie.

Angelina's Needs Help

Her high-profile commitments with the UN coupled with the death of her mother, have reportedly taken a toll on Angelina Jolie's health, but after appearing at the Global Action for Children news conference yesterday looking emaciated and exhausted, sources say that Angelina's rapid loss of weight is a result of a potentially deadly disease.


....Jolie is "losing her hair", suffers "uncontrollable shaking" and is plagued by blinding headaches. Jolie's brother James Haven has publicly stated he is worried about his sister's health, though he was more concerned with her shocking weight loss since giving birth to baby Shiloh last May."

Kidnappers Target Another Jolie Child

Earlier in the month, actress Angelina Jolie learned that extortionists were plotting to kidnap her and hold her for ransom. Now, it seems that her newly adopted son Pax Thien is a target. The Post-Chronicle reports:

Angelina Jolie and her newly adopted son escaped a plan by kidnappers to steal the boy away upon his arrival to the US.


According to an exclusive report, the foiled plot included a demand of $100 million for his return. A “credible” plot was “meticulously planned” by a gang that has executed kidnappings and extortion plots before. “They’re highly skilled operatives with little regard for human life,” says an insider close to Angelina Jolie’s security team.

Angelina Adobts Another Child

Angelina Jolie has successfully completed the adoption process for her new son. The three-year-old boy was picked up on Thursday at 9 a.m. local time after Jolie recieved the official adoption agreement from the Tam Binh orphanage where the boy has been residing since November of 2003.

According to the Vietnamese press, the boy is named Pham Quang Sang and will be renamed Pax Thien Jolie.

Pax means "peace" in Latin, while Thien means "heaven" or "sky" in Vietnamese. Local press also reports that Jolie's new son cried and hid during the official ceremony, and that the actress comforted him in Vietnamese. Jolie's other adopted son, Maddox, was also present.

Jolie and her two children finished the ceremony by 10 a.m. local time and then returned to their hotel.

The Oscar-winning actress must now meet with U.S. consular officials who must review the adoption before a passport can be issued for the boy.

If all goes according to plan, the 31-year-old actress could bring the child home by the weekend, local officials told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

The boy (mistakingly identifed as 4-years-old by officials who observe the Chinese New Year) has been living at the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City since 2003, when he was abandoned at a hospital as an infant, report adoption officials.

Shortly after he arrived at the orphanage, the Tam Binh staff tried unsuccessfully to locate the boy's birth parents.

The boy is healthy, friendly and a little bit shy, they said. He gets along well with other children and loves to play soccer.

Jolie filed adoption papers as a single parent because she and partner Brad Pitt, 43, are not married, and it's illegal in Vietnam for unwed couples to adopt together.

The couple have three children: 5-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May of 2006.

Angelina Jolie Was Almost Kidnapped

For the first time, Angelina Jolie reveals the shocking threat to her safety - and why she won't let it stop her charity work.

As a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she's now more famous for her charity work than her film roles. In an exclusive interview, Angelina shockingly reveals that authorities uncovered a terrifying plot to abduct her.



"It was in a small village," she says. "I won't say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom. I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily."

Since becoming an ambassador for the UN in August 2001, Angelina's role has taken her to 20 countries, and some of the world's most underprivileged regions.

"It became clear to me that I was an incredibly well-off star, and that I had to do something against the screaming injustice on this planet," says the 31-year-old actress. "Not just by giving speeches, I had to be actively involved. Since then I've traveled half the world. I went to see the people there up close. I didn't shut myself off in some luxurious hotel."

Despite the kidnap threat, Angelina is hell-bent on continuing her work at orphanages and is determined to carry on her charity work overseas.

"I don't want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood," she insists. "But I want to help where there is poverty and destruction. I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team. Things only get difficult when it affects our children."

Jessica Simpson Wants to Adopt

Jessica Simpson has been inspired to follow her adoption dreams by celebrity activist Angelina Jolie.

The newly-single pop star once begged her father to let her adopt a Mexican orphan during a trip to Latin America when she was a teenager, and now she's seriously considering giving a child a home and a better life.


And it’s all thanks to actress Jolie, who has adopted two kids and is carrying boyfriend Brad Pitt’s first child.

Simpson says, “I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing, amazing things and the international adoption rate just since her (decision to adopt) has skyrocketed. It's unbelievable.”

She goes on to say, “I want to adopt and I plan to adopt before I have my own kids.”

And Simpson is hoping she can inspire other wannabe moms to follow her example by urging politicians to help cut through red tape that prevents certain couples from adopting. The pop star is planning to speak to President George W Bush about the issue, urging him to make it easier for interracial couples to adopt.

Hahaha, now there’s a riveting conversation – Simpson and Bush.

Aniston Hits up Neo For a Booty Call

Jennifer Aniston took her new nose for a test drive and invited Keanu Reeves over for some action. Ok, so maybe they just smoked a bowl and watched some movies. ANY MOVIE NOT STARRING BRAD PIT OR THAT HOME-WRECKING DO-GOODER BITCH!

Jennifer Aniston, 38 reportedly shared a secret evening at her home with Hollywood hunk Keanu, 42. The handsome actor, who has a house near Jennifer Aniston's in the Hollywood Hills, came over to her place for a private rendezvous, which they did their best to keep under wraps.

Guess it didn't work. I'm sure Keanu was ecstatic, though. He doesn't seem to be getting chosen for much these days. He's probably happy for the work. Even if that work involves having to be taken down to the basement and shown a death shrine dedicated to Brangelina...

A Death in the Family for Jolie

Angelina Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died Saturday afternoon at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reports.

Bertrand, who had endured a long-term battle with cancer, was 56. According to a family statement, Jolie, 31, her older brother, James Haven, and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, were at the hospital when Bertrand passed away.

"Angelina came to visit her two weekends ago and spent the afternoon with her in her room," a source at Beverly Hills' Raffles L'Ermitage hotel, where Bertrand kept a residence, tells Usmagazine.com.

Bertrand, a former actress, raised Jolie and her brother as a single mother after she and Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight divorced in 1978. She appeared in the movies Lookin' to Get Out in 1982 and The Man Who Loved Women in 1983. A private funeral is planned. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars Sinai.
