Angelina Jolie Watch

Well it’s a fake pony but a pony none the less. Maddox, Zahara, and Pax had a grand ole time in Central Park as mom treated them to frozen goodies and a carousel ride this afternoon. Maddox has certainly turned into a very protective big brother. So serious. Now I’m asking the same question that Randi over at Brad Pitt Watch is asking. What is the new bodyguard’s name?

UPDATE: Added even more photos after the jump.

More photos after the cut.

When Angie picked up Pax she told interviewers that she was taking some well deserved time off to help Pax adjust. Shortly thereafter she started taping a new movie. Well, that movie has wrapped and Angie is now saying that she will be taking a year off after ‘Wanted’ so she can spend time with her children and Brad.

Angie also told Anne Curry that she has nothing to hide about her personal life. It’s all an open book. “I’m gonna live my life. There are gonna be times when people wanna try to attack me and I don’t know why, but they will. And that’s okay. … There are other things I’m more concerned about. My kids are healthy. I have a lot I want to do in this world. … I wanna do a lot of things as a woman, as a mom, and – and that’s my focus. I have always been honest about who I am, and I’ve always been very outspoken to press, I think people have heard a lot from me over the years. … If people wanna believe negative things, they will. … I can’t help that. At the end of the day, I’m gonna be dead one day. And what people say about me is gonna be what I accomplished and what I did in my life and how my children are.”

It’s reported that James Haven has angered Brad Pitt after his excessively open conversation with various reporters lately. It seems, to me at least, that James has been telling everyone that will listen about his sisters relationship with Brad Pitt. The good news is that all conversations seem to be complementary.

According to Star magazine, Brad has near about had it with James. Brad is so upset because while Brad has been working to take media attention away from Angie and the kids, James is giving interviews that only fuel the paparazzi interest in the celebrity couple.

“To Brad, James is a wild card. He doesn’t know what he’ll say next,” the National Ledger quoted a friend of Brad’s. “Brad knows how close Angie and James are. But as hard as he tries to keep his life with Angie out of the public eye, James talks about them, and it’s gotten Brad hot under the collar,” another pal added.

According to other insiders, Brad is also angry that Angie’s brother gave an interview to a Euro mag, giving details about the actor’s relationship with Ange.

Friends are also concerned that Brad’s exasperation with James is driving a wedge between him and Jolie.

And we wonder how the rumors get started

Because I totally agree with this article

Angelina Jolie has come under fire for wearing what is dubbed as ’semi-blackface’ to play the role of Marianne Pearl in the film ‘A Mighty Heart.’ E! Online’s ‘Reel Girl’ Caroline Kepnes blasts Jolie and her hubby Brad Pitt and ‘Plan B productions in a scathing critique of the decision to allow Jolie to transform her look sop much to play Pearl. The film is a biopic about slain journalist Daniel Pearl and his dignified widow, Marianne Pearl.

Every time I see Angelina Jolie in a shot from A Mighty Heart, with her pin curls and her darkened skin, my skin crawls. It just seems wrong. Like, I want to ask Plan B Productions, Why wouldn’t you hire someone who bears even the slightest natural resemblance? Halle Berry could have rocked it as Marianne Pearl. If not, then you take on your white chick, and let her be. Somehow, a prosthetic nose is fine. A fat suit I can handle. But watching Ms. Holier and Sexier Than Thou and Me and Everyone We Know parade around in semi-blackface makes me think something is wrong with the world.

Ouch! Bragelina fans will revolt. She adds, “I am so in agreement with Vogue reader Cristina Migliaccio, whose letter ran in the magazine’s April issue: “The only thing I don’t get is why Angelina tries to perpetuate almost virginal awe and surprise at the circumstances of her very calculated life choices.”"

The film will be shown at the 60th annual Cannes Film Festival which opens Wednesday. Jolie and her boyfriend Brad are expected to attend.

“Extra�? has details from Angelina Jolie’s brand new interview about Brad and the kids.

In the new issue of Reader’s Digest, Momma Angie said that she and partner Brad Pitt set aside special time in the week for each of their children.

The world’s most beautiful couple and their four adorable kids – Pax, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh – spend Sundays in bed watching movies together.

She also revealed that while she disciplines the girls, Brad has the daddy-duty down with the little men of the house.

Angie got even more candid with Reader’s Digest, talking about what it was like for Pax, three-and-a-half, to adjust to a home so far away from Vietnam.

“There were all these things he’d never had,�? she said. “The first time I gave him a bath, he was suddenly laughing, out of his mind. He took five baths in one day. We’d be talking, and he’d take his clothes off and run into the bathroom.�?

She also told Reader’s Digest how she’s dealing with the death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who recently succumbed to cancer.

“I’m one of those people who walk around as if it’s fine, and then suddenly I don’t know why I’m crying over my breakfast,�? she told the magazine. “My mother was my best friend. I’m so grateful I had her as a mom.�?

But she said she finds a lot of strength in her family, and despite what the tabloids say, they are just a normal couple. She told the magazine that she loves Brad because, “He slows me down to kind of get it right, to relax into the strength of my family and the love.�?

So tell me, do you think they got it right?

Pax and Angelina were photographed boarding the jet bound for America this morning. Pax is visibly stressed. That poor tyke has to be completely overwhelmed at this point and now he’s being whisked across the world to meet yet another new sibling.

Hopefully Pax will learn to be calm about his whirlwind life as Madd and Z are of theirs! Both are seen here sound asleep being carried onto the plane by handlers.

I just really hope that when the Jolie-Pitts all unite in the US, that they spend a long period of time just being together behind closed doors to give Pax some time to get used to and form a bond with the family and learn the language, and to give the other children a while to adjust to a sibling dropped into the mix (age wise) of their already established hierarchy.

This is the final installment of the video’s originally aired on MTV showing Angelina Jolie in Sauri, Kenya with Jeffrey Sachs. These videos show what changes Angelina’s work has helped to make as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

Last week I posted the first installment of the videos I found of Angelina Jolie’s coverage of her visits with refugees in Suari. These clips are from her travels with Jeffrey Sachs Millenium Project, originally airing on MTV. This is the second clip.

This apparently ran a few weeks back on Page Six:

Which Tinseltown sex siren with a humanitarian streak has resumed her old habit of dabbling with heroin? She paid a recent visit to an old rock star friend and joined him in narcotic stupor.

I’m wondering exactly when this could have taken place? When they were in India? Or perhaps Cambodia? I can’t see her off doing heroin with 3 kids at home.

Another Manson-watcher tells Page Six he’s also close pals with Brad Pitt’s paramour, Angelina Jolie - who caught up with the rock star when she was in L.A. a little over five months ago. “They’ve known each other for a long time,�? said our source, “since she was way more wild than she is now - they are still good friends, though.�?

Personally, there’s no way I can see her doing this. What do you all think?

This is the first time I’ve come across this video. It contains footage from her trips as UN High Commissioner for Refugees. And if you are interested in learning more of Angelina’s visits with refugees, I really recommend picking up her book, Notes from My Travels: Visits with Refugees in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Ecuador
by Angelina Jolie, Caspian Tredwell-Owen

Angelina has recently been quoted (repeatedly and everywhere it seems) as saying ill things about Madonna’s adoption of a little boy called David from Malawi. Angelina states, “The article included many falsehoods. I said many positive things that were omitted. I feel we must focus on the present and I encourage everyone to be supportive so that every child can adjust nicely to their new home.”

The quotes in question were published by France’s Gala magazine, “Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where (David) was born. It’s a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.”

Just a note, I haven’t previously reported on these quotes because I couldn’t substantiate any of them and did not feel that they were credible.
