Oscar winner ANGELINA JOLIE is desperate to have more children, because she prefers being a mother to being a Hollywood actress. The star and partner BRAD PITT are already parents to MADDOX, five, ZAHARA, 23 months and SHILOH, six months. Jolie insists she loves what they have brought to her life, and will only take on movie roles if they don't take her away from her family. She explains, "I'm very, very lucky. I love the different elements of my life. I love working abroad and I love being with my kids and I love being with Brad. "I'd like to add many more children and many more obstacles and many more things to my life. "I don't think I've shot for more than seven weeks on a movie in two years. I need to make sure I have time with my kids." Jolie claims she makes every effort to ensure her children have a normal life, despite their parents fame adding, "I've made a point not to let it change the way I live my life, other than I carefully plan my holidays or where we go or where we stay or things like that to try and ensure some kind of quality of life that is private and nice for the kids. But we simply don't let it affect us." 11/12/2006 20:03

JOLIE: 'I'M THE DISCIPLINARIAN'
ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT have different ways of parenting their three children - the actress admits she's most likely to discipline the youngsters. Jolie and Pitt are mother and father to Cambodian-born MADDOX, five; Ethiopian-born ZAHARA MARLEY, 23 months; and SHILOH NOUVEL, seven months. The GIRL, INTERRUPTED actress, 31, says, "I am the disciplinarian. Brad can be, but if Z doesn't get the bottle from me, she'll very quickly run to Daddy." Jolie admits their eldest daughter Zahara is in control of the house, saying, "I bet if you asked Brad, he'd say Zahara. Mad is very smart, but he's got a certain sense of calm. "Zahara is possibly the funniest person I've ever met in my life. So dramatic and creative and loud and charming. She's definitely the biggest personality in the house."

JOLIE AND PITT WANT TO ADOPT AGAIN
BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE are hoping to adopt more children to add to their young family. Jolie and Pitt are mother and father to Cambodian-born MADDOX, five; Ethiopian-born ZAHARA MARLEY, 23 months; and SHILOH NOUVEL, seven months, but aren't ruling out the prospect of adding more adopted kids to their family. Jolie says, "I feel very, very blessed. We're always open to adoption. "That's kind of how we decided to live the next few years of our lives, just to be open. "My wish every day is that everybody stays healthy. That's the only thing I want - to have as much time together as we can all have."

JOLIE AND PITT SPEND 'SPECIAL TIME' WITH EACH CHILD
ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT make a special effort to spend quality time with each one of their children individually so they all feel equally loved. The celebrity pair are parents to MADDOX, five, ZAHARA, 23 months, and SHILOH, seven months. She explains, "Brad and I make special time for all of them. Everybody gets their special time. It's a very thought out balance we're trying to make. We're very, very lucky, they're very good kids." When asked what activities are included, she tells GOOD MORNING AMERICA host DIANE SAWYER, "Really the big special times are like this morning - just a lot of nothing together. "Just sitting around colouring. We broke the coffee machine, we tried to fix it. "We were playing with the kids, trying to get everybody to find somebody's bottle that is lost, change somebody's diaper that's gone leaky. Just all that good stuff." 15/12/2006 03:52

JOLIE AND PITT SEEK TO BALANCE RACES IN FAMILY
ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT will definitely adopt another child in order to balance out the dynamic in their mixed-race family. Jolie and Pitt are mother and father to Cambodian-born MADDOX, five; Ethiopian-born ZAHARA MARLEY, 23 months; and their own child SHILOH NOUVEL, seven months. The MR AND MRS SMITH star have slammed recent pregnancy reports and insists the only way the couple would add to their family is through adoption. She explains, "I did make it clear that we would think about adopting next, which is important for me and the balance in our own family and how our kids perceive it. "I want Mad to know that as our family grew and we all came together we didn't just start having biological children. Yes, we have Shiloh and it's been a wonderful experience, we want to find another brother or sister in the world for our family. "Now the questions are more when you have a mixed-race family do you balance the races so there's another African person in the house for Z, so there's another Asian person in the house for Mad. Shiloh has Brad and I she can look at. These are the questions we're more asking what's best for the children as they grow. "We don't just want to have different children from different countries, that's not the point." 14/12/2006 20:

JOLIE: 'ADOPTIVE PARENTS MORE FIT TO RAISE A CHILD'
ANGELINA JOLIE insists adoptive parents are more fit to raise a child than biological parents, because their background and personality is thoroughly scrutinised to see if they're suitable for the challenge. The GIRL, INTERRUPTED actress was put through stringent tests before being granted permission to adopt MADDOX, five, and ZAHARA, one. But when she gave birth to baby girl SHILOH NOUVEL earlier this year (06), nobody investigated her suitability as a mother. She says, "It should be hard to be a parent period. I go through many things to adopt. "I'm finger-printed, I'm checked, I go through home studies. I have to prove I'm a decent citizen; a good human being. "That didn't happen to me when I gave birth, so it's interesting that there's no background check when you bring a child into your home in that way." 19/12/2006 07:52

It's quite true they check lots of things about you to see if you are eligible to adopt; she's certainly not wrong !

... and in the same logics, Angie wants to slow down and be in less movies, it's a lot of work to raise children yourself, and she does a lot with UNHCR :

Jolie and Pitt are determined to raise their kids - MADDOX, five, ZAHARA, one, and SHILOH NOUVEL, six months - away from Hollywood. She says, "I'm hoping that as we get older, maybe we'll do less films. "We don't raise our kids in Hollywood. They don't go to sets every day. They travel the world and we do many, many other things." 21/12/2006 03:42

Another interesting article I got from ContactMusic deals with Angie's feelings for Brad Pitt. In the yellow press we could read a bit of everything : they're getting on well, then the next day : they keep argueing and shouting all the time and they sleep apart, then the next day : they're gonna marry and adopt 5 more children, etc, etc, ...

JOLIE: 'PITT IS THE FANTASTIC DAD I WAS SEARCHING FOR'
ANGELINA JOLIE was looking for a father to her children before she met BRAD PITT, and she's so impressed with his parenting skills she now wants a huge family with him. The actress has lavished praise on her partner, insisting he's a caring humanitarian and a fantastic dad to the couple's adopted son MADDOX, five, and their biological daughter, seven-month-old SHILOH. She reveals, "What I wanted was to find somebody who, first and foremost, was a great father, because I was already a parent. Yes, I needed somebody who cared about the issues. But it's not just that Brad will travel and he loves kids. He's a thoughtful, intelligent man. "We definitely want a very big family. It might seem crazy to build it so quickly. But if we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young." 06/01/2007

JOLIE AND PITT PLAN FINANCES FOR FAMILY
ANGELINA JOLIE and partner BRAD PITT are carefully planning their careers and their incomes so they can afford to have a bigger family. The TOMB RAIDER star and mother-of-three insists children are expensive - even when there are two Hollywood A'listers in the household bringing home eight-figure salaries. She says, "Brad and I want to continue to adopt, but keeping a big family uses up a lot of money. "For the moment we are talking between ourselves about our respective professional projects, we will then make sure we are agreed between ourselves on where we're working and so plan our absences. "We need to be attached to MAD, ZAHARA and SHILOH as much as possible." In the interview with French magazine Gala, the actress also admits that meeting Pitt changed her life completely. She says, "Don't go repeating it whatever you do, but yes I love him. I love him a lot. "After I met him my life became more harmonious." 08/01/2007 12:44

JOLIE NOT PUT OFF ADOPTION BY MADONNA

ANGELINA JOLIE has rubbished rumours she has been put off adopting more children after the media furore surrounding pop superstar MADONNA's adoption of Malawian baby DAVID BANDA last year (OCT06). The MR AND MRS SMITH star already has two adopted children with boyfriend BRAD PITT - Cambodian-born MADDOX and Ethiopian-born ZAHARA - as well as their nine-month-old biological daughter SHILOH. And she insists she will adopt a child from a country with established adoption laws when she does add to her family. Jolie says, "I think we all know that it's just the press being silly. She adopted from a country without legal adoption so it was an unusual situation. "I don't anticipate that being a problem, because I don't intend to adopt a child from a country where there's no legal adoption."

HANOI (Reuters) - Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie has applied through a U.S. agency to adopt a Vietnamese child, a top Vietnamese adoption official said over the weekend.

"She has made an application to adopt a boy aged between 3 and 4 years old, and her paperwork will be processed according to the regulations like everyone else," Vu Duc Long, director of the Ministry of Justice's International Adoption Department, told Reuters on Saturday.

Long said the boy Jolie wanted to adopt lives in the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. He did not give further details.

Angelina Jolie’s adoption application is being processed quickly and she could pick up her new 3 1/2-year-old son within a few weeks, Vietnam’s top adoption official said Tuesday.

The adoption is being processed quickly because the boy is an older child, and his files were nearly complete before Angelina decided to adopt.

The boy was abandoned at a Ho Chi Minh City hospital as a baby and is currently at the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.

One orphanage official said of the boy, who likes to play soccer with the other children: “He is in good health. He is a little bit shy.” The Pitt soccer team is on its way!

Angelina has two adopted children — Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2 — and one daughter with Brad Pitt — Shiloh, almost 10 months.

JOLIE AND PITT'S SON MADDOX HELPS WELCOME NEW BROTHER

LATEST: ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT's son MADDOX welcomed his new brother into the family by holding the orphan's hand as he left the Vietnamese institute where he has grown up. Jolie and her five-year-old son arrived at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City, where the actress' new son has spent the last three years, earlier today (15MAR07) after flying into Vietnam late on Wednesday (14MAR07). Mother and Maddox were greeted by approximately 20 children dressed in traditional Vietnamese tunics and offering flowers as they embarked on the final stages of the adoption procedure. Orphanage director NGUYEN VAN TRUNG insists Jolie has made a wise choice in the three-and-a-half-year-old boy, whose name has been changed from PHAM QUANG SANG to PAX THIEN by the actress. Van Trung says, "He's the smartest and cleverest among the kids." But the adoption almost hit a late hiccup, according to the orphanage boss: "I was a bit worried in the morning. When Sang saw Jolie and two of her big bodyguards, he moved back and cried. Jolie kneeled down and gradually went closer to him. It took about 20 minutes for her to reach him." Van Trung added that "after Jolie made acquaintance with him, he cheered up and trusted her right away". Maddox also attempted to soothe his new brother by holding his hand. The orphanage director adds, "He was very friendly to Sang."

JOLIE SLAMS PHOTOGRAPHERS AFTER TERRIFYING VIETNAM SCENE

ANGELINA JOLIE has lashed out at paparazzi who turned her new adopted son's first encounter with celebrity into a terrifying experience. The actress and her adopted Cambodian son MADDOX were leaving an orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam yesterday (15MAR07) with the latest addition to their family when photographers swarmed their vehicle. And Jolie, who was sickened by the extent the snappers went to get a shot of her adopted son PAX THIEN, is speaking out through her international advisor TREVOR NEILSON. In a statement released late yesterday (15MAR07), he says, "As Angelina left the orphanage they (photographers) opened the door of her car, banged on the doors and threw things under the wheels to try to get them to stop. "How would the paparazzi feel if someone was doing this to a car their child was riding in?" The chaos in the car ride away from the orphanage, from which three-year-old Pax Thien was collected by his new mum and brother, was a stark contrast to the peace in the institute, where Jolie thanked those who have been caring for her new son. The actress signed a guest book, writing, "Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son." Jolie is now heading to Vietnamese capital Hanoi to finalise the adoption.

It's of course a right to inform people, but not that way !
As far as I am concerned, just one solution for "journalists" with so little respect : jail ! They would have the time to think twice about it before stalking celebrities (and other people).

Other images show Pax and new sister Zahara playing by a swimming pool, and another shows the boy sleeping peacefully beside brother Maddox. Jolie says she bought Pax a Game Boy, because, "He has never had anything to call his own." She adds, "We are slowly beginning to gain his trust and bond, but it will feel complete only when we are all a family." Pitt has been bringing 10-month-old Shiloh to the LA set of THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON for the past week.

PAX SIGHTING!

New mom Angelina Jolie and 3-year-old son Pax Thien Jole were reportedly spotted relaxing by the Park Hyatt Hotel pool in Ho Chi Minh City last Saturday, March 17. (It could actually be the translator Angelina hired and/or maybe the boy isn’t even Pax. The pictures are small, so it’s hard to tell.)
