ANGELINA JOLIE insists her relationship with BRAD PITT was a gamble that paid off, despite the odds stacked against two Hollywood superstars maintaining a steady romance. Jolie and Pitt started dating shortly after shooting on Mr. + Mrs. Smith wrapped. Speaking in the upcoming issue of U.S. magazine Marie Claire, Jolie says, "I think we both went on a lot of faith - we really did. "Our family has grown very quickly, and we have a lot of responsibility together, and we acknowledge that we are lucky we turned out be for each other everything we'd hoped. "We could have been very wrong, but every challenge we hit has brought us closer. It has been that kind of relationship."

Czech Child for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?


With celebrity adoption reaching trend-setting proportions, the first couple of this far-reaching fad is set to enlarge their family once more. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be adopting again very soon.

This time, the setting is Prague, Czech Republic. This would be the couple’s fourth adoption to bring their fifth child into the Brangelina clan. The new addition is a boy from a Catholic orphanage in the beautiful historic town.





Angelina has been living in Prague to film her new movie, “Wanted” and has said to be eagerly considering adopting a child she’s met during frequent trips to the orphanage. “She called Brad and said she had found a child who would fit in perfectly with the other kids. If everything goes smoothly, Angelina will have an Eastern European son to add to her brood,” said a source close to Jolie.

“Angelina celebrated her 32nd birthday yesterday (June 4) and had told Brad she felt it was time to extend their family again. Her maternal instincts are in overdrive and she felt a bond with the kid straight away,” the source told The Sun.

With Brad and the four other kids on board, it looks like Angelina Jolie is set to spread the love a little further with a new son.

Yesterday, Brad and Angelina were back in the States for the US premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen. Enjoy the pictures of the couple on Tuesday (June 5) at Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

JOLIE GLAD MADDOX HAS A FATHER IN PITT
ANGELINA JOLIE is relieved boyfriend BRAD PITT entered her life when he did - because her son MADDOX finally got a father figure. The actress adopted the Cambodian kid in 2002 and, after splitting from then-husband Billy Bob Thornton, received sole custody of him. She adopted Ethiopian daughter Zahara in 2005. After falling pregnant with Brad Pitt's baby later that year, Jolie agreed her new man should legally adopt her two children - a decision she's thrilled she took. The Tomb Raider star tells the U.S. edition of Marie Claire, "I'm so happy for my children - especially Mad. "I didn't know if he was ever going to have a dad. So when I watch them having real strong father-son time, or even when Mad tells me, 'This is a boy thing, Mom' - it's just really beautiful to see." The couple have since adopted Vietnam-born boy Pax Thien.

JOLIE MISJUDGED PRETTY BOY PITT

ANGELINA JOLIE was left floored by BRAD PITT soon after they first met because she thought he'd be nothing more than a good guy she could race motorbikes with on the set of MR + MRS SMITH. The actress quickly fell in love with the Hollywood hunk, who was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, and she admits she still can't believe he is "more man than any man" she's ever met. She tells style magazine Marie Claire, "I wouldn't have, from a distance, said, 'That's a man who would be an amazing, dedicated father,' or 'That's a man who truly loves helping people or whom I'd love to talk politics with.' "He's a lot more than people assume he is." Jolie credits her partner for helping her overcome periodical dark moments in her life - just by listening to her. She adds, "I've had that problem in my life, where if I get emotional, I tend to just go (and) sit by myself. But he is a great listener, and he has given me wonderful advice."

JOLIE + PITT BAN 'L' WORD
Hollywood beauty ANGELINA JOLIE insists her long-term partner BRAD PITT has never told her he loves her. The Tomb Raider star admits they avoid talking about their feelings for each other in fear of becoming too sentimental. She says, "I don't think we have ever said it. I mean I guess we must have done, but we'd always punch each other on the arm first."

I'm glad to read this article (ContactMusic) ! Some people WHO DO NOT KNOW Angie or WHO DO NOT LIKE HER consider her to be home-wrecker, which is not the case of course. Angie herself says she suffered a lot from her father's behavior, who used to "hunt" women, she would never accept to be the cause of a split.

Here is the article :

PITT: 'I DID ALL I COULD TO EASE PAIN OF SPLIT WITH ANISTON'
Superstar BRAD PITT insists he couldn't have handled his split from ex-wife JENNIFER ANISTON any better, and that he did all he could to painlessly end their relationship before he started romancing ANGELINA JOLIE. Pitt met Jolie on the set of 2005 movie Mr. + Mrs. Smith, but deliberately delayed making a move for the beauty out of respect to his then-wife Aniston. He tells American magazine V, "The most important thing to me about that time was for Jen and me to figure out if... we didn't want to go on with any outside influence: `Is this where we get off? Have we taken this as far as we wanted to go?' "Those questions had to be answered before an attraction to Angie could be answered." He adds, "I don't know how better to have handled it. The thing guiding me then was you don't know how many days you have, and you need life to be everything you need it to be."

JOLIE IS LIKE BONO/LENNON FOR PITT
BRAD PITT has heaped praise on his partner ANGELINA JOLIE in a new magazine interview, likening her efforts to better the world to those of BONO and JOHN LENNON. The movie star credits his Mr. + Mrs. Smith co-star for sparking his own social conscience - and feels the world needs more celebrities who put their fame to good use when it comes to facing the globe's problems. And Pitt admits he needed someone like Jolie to get him active. He tells Details magazine, "I carried the standard cynicism. But it was also feeling like, 'I can't sit on my couch anymore, I'm going crazy. This thing I'm doing with my life, it's very nice. But it's not doing it for me.' "I'm watching the news and I see what's going on the world, and I see, like, Bono, getting in there, rolling up his sleeves and getting dirty. And taking shots for it. "And I see an old documentary of John Lennon railing about something. At least they're in the ring. "It's something that brought Angie and I together... She's absolute evidence for me of someone facilitating changes for the better."

Isn't that wonderful ?

Marriage is not necessarily the strongest link between two persons who sincerely love each other, read this from ContactMusic :

JOLIE AND PITT WILL NEVER MARRY
ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT have created such a solid relationship, they have never discussed marriage and never plan to make their union official. Jolie insists the bond they have created, since they began dating in 2005, is stronger than marriage. She also confesses they have been put off stepping down the aisle by their previous failed unions. She says, "Brad and I have never discussed (marriage), but I would assume - because we both went down that road before - it's not the contract or the ceremony that makes you feel solid. We've gone the other way back round, and maybe there is something to that - maybe it's hard work and the exhaustion and the children that make you feel solid."

PITT: 'AFFAIRS ALWAYS CATCH UP ON YOU'
Actor BRAD PITT will never cheat on partner ANGELINA JOLIE - because he's convinced he would get caught. The Oceans Eleven star - who has been dating Jolie since the collapse of his marriage to Jennifer Aniston in 2005 - believes those who have affairs are liable to be caught out. He tells British magazine Cosmopolitan, "I always have and I always will (be faithful). "I don't like to see couples who have affairs on film sets - or anywhere. I operate on the belief that it catches up with you."

ANGELINA JOLIE considers partner BRAD PITT her best friend - and feels blessed to have six children with him.
The Tomb Raider star has three adopted kids and three biological tots - including twins, born earlier this year (Jul08) - with the actor.
And the 33-year-old reveals that newborns Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are developing features and personalities reminiscent of their famous parents.
She tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "It's so much fun but it's very hard work. The kids are forming beautiful friendships. They're team mates and they're very loving to the babies.
"The twins are just the sweetest little things. They lay next to each other. They're starting to smile a lot. Knox looks like Brad and Vivienne looks more like me. They are developing interesting personalities. Knox seems more relaxed and Vivienne is more loud."
And the actress feels lucky to have her extended brood, and relishes the time she spends in their company.
She adds: "I feel so blessed that every day I wake up and I live with my favourite people in the world and my best friend."

PITT'S SILENT BABY DREAMS MADE JOLIE WANT TO BECOME A NATURAL MUM
BRAD PITT convinced his partner ANGELINA JOLIE to become a natural mum by adopting her kids.
Jolie admits she never saw herself conceiving a child when she first fell for Pitt, even though he told her he wanted to have kids with her.
But when he agreed to adopt her kids Maddox and Zahara, and stopped dreaming of starting a natural family, Jolie started preparing for pregnancy.
The actress, who has since given birth to the couple's daughter Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, says, "I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do. Now I wouldn't trade that experience for the world.
"It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn't otherwise be here.
"When we first met, he (Pitt) talked about having children in that way. I talked about only adopting children.
"(Then) he stopped talking about having other kids in the other way (after adopting Maddox and Zahara), so I suppose in my heart I realised that he was happy with them as his children, completely. I knew he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace.
"Then I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to (getting pregnant). I suddenly wanted to."

Relation with Brad : marriage or not, in the yellow press we read about every six months the same article (maybe a coma that has been changed ...) that they're gonna tie the knot.
Here again it comes on ContactMusic :

JOLIE WILL WED PITT FOR THEIR KIDS
ANGELINA JOLIE has conceded she will marry partner BRAD PITT one day - to keep their children happy.
The Wanted beauty has a brood of six with Pitt - adopted kids Maddox, seven, Pax, four, and Zahara, three, and biological children Shiloh, two, and newborn twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie and Pitt, who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston, have always maintained they will not wed until same-s*x marriages are legalised across the U.S.
The Ocean's Eleven star said in the past, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."
But in a new interview with the Italian version of Vanity Fair magazine, Jolie admits marriage is inevitable for the couple, if only to please their children.
She says, "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards.
"But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us (to get married). You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?'"

And again, here we go ! It's a quite period for Angie, she's currently working as a full time mother; so when there is nothing to say, the yellow press keeps coming back with the same old stories : they're gonna get married. Well, no, it's not true, not for the time being anyway !

ANGELINA JOLIE has denied she has drawn up a $200 million (GBP136 million) pre-nuptial agreement ahead of a rumoured wedding to her partner BRAD PITT.
America's Star magazine recently reported that the couple is currently making plans to walk down the aisle, with the pair signing a multi-million dollar contract detailing how they will split their property, finances and custody of their children if they later break up.
But a representative for Jolie has slammed the reports, telling Us Weekly.com, "There is no truth to any of these claims."
Pitt recently admitted he would consider marrying Jolie "if we feel it's important to our kids."
