Angelina Jolie Watch

Ann Curry is one of the few journalist Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt like to sit down with. They like her enough to sit down her over and over again. Looks like the feeling is mutual.

Ann talked with OK! magazine at the UJA-Federation of New York’s Leadership Awards Dinner on June 9 about interviewing Angelina .”  I see her as a very smart person, a very compassionate person who does movies,” the NBC reporter says.

“What I love is that when you talk to actors you know the good they can do – it’s really touching because there are so many reasons why they could be just selfish and focus on themselves, but they’re not,” Ann tells the celebrity magazine. “When very very powerful people like Angie and Brad are focused on lovely projects that really change peoples’ lives you just want to applaud them. It’s just fantastic.”

“In fact I may be talking to Angie coming up very soon,” Ann says. “It’s “something important and I’m excited to see her again.”

Oh gosh what could it be? Any guesses?
.

And the rumors keep coming. In this edition, of the Rumor Round Up we look at a two new rumors that are floating around about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Oh what fun.

Rumor #1
Brad gave Angelina a marriage ultimatum.
This one started with OK! magazine. Instead of buying into all the they’re-breaking-up-rumors OK!’s taking a completely different route. The tabloid insists that Brad’s is going to call it quits if Angelina won’t marry him.

“Brad’s told her, ‘Marry me, or it’s over.’” an “insider” told the magazine.  Apparently Brad’s  demanding a  wedding because he’s tired of being a single dad while Angelina films Salt. “Their relationship is so out of kilter, he believes marriage is the only thing that will bring it back around,” said the source.

The tab also says we should expect a New Orleans wedding after Salt wraps.

Verdict: OK! isn’t know it’s accuracy so don’t bet on it.

Rumor #1
Angelina snapped on Brad for drinking too much and ignoring the kids.
The rumor originated with Grazia magazine and perpetuated by  the UK Mail. They say that Angelina came home from a long day of shooting and found Brad passed out from drinking while the nannies tended to the kids.

A “friend” of Angelina’s told Grazi that:  “Angelina was completely and utterly exhausted, so when she came home after a hard day’s work and found Brad had apparently done nothing all day except watch DVDs, she was livid.”   The Mail’s site maintains that Angie’s anger was fueled by her liquid detox diet.

Verdict: See the above verdict.

Last Friday night(March 6), Angelina had drinks with a few business associates in the Waldorf Asstoria bar. “She was with a couple guys talking business and laughing,” a witnesses told OK! magazine. Her drink of choice was Belvedere Vodka on the rocks. (I’ll have to give that try.)

Angelina snacked on pretzels while she and her companions sat a the bar.  “There were peanuts on the table and she wasn’t eating any, and then they brought some pretzels and she ate those. She was happy they brought them over.” the source told OK!.

According to the magazine, Angelina, Brad and the kids are staying at the historic hotel while Angelina films nearby.  The family previously stayed at the Waldorf Towers which offers more permanent suite residences.  They’ve been chummy with other guest sand residents, even signing some autographs. Normally Angelina and Brad visit the bar together.   They’ve not been back since Angie’s business meeting last week.

While Angelina Jolie was scaling walls with a single bond this week, Brad Pitt took the their two oldest boys to a kid friendly Manhattan favorite.   Yesterday Brad, Maddox and Pax visited the alien themed Mars 2112.   According to OK! magazine, Brad called ahead to reserve a VIP table.

Looks like we aren’t the only one that are starstruck.  Mars waiters fought over who would wait on Brad and the kids. “Waiters were squabbling over who got to serve them,” one witness told OK! “I overheard one of them complaining to a co-worker, ‘It was my turn to wait on Brad!’”

Brad and the boys enjoyed video games including Crazy Taxi, Tekken 5 and Madden Season 2.  Fellow diners heard Brad refer to Pax as “Paxie” and Madox as “Mad”.

Now for the aw moment.  Brad made a birthday boy’s day.  “He just went over to these little boys and asked, ‘Is it someone’s birthday?’ ” a witness said. “One of the kids pointed to his friend and said, ‘It’s his.’ Brad gave that famous smile and said, ‘Happy birthday, man!’ to the boy, and before he left he handed him a gift card loaded with credits to play games.”

OK! magazine’s says that plans are in the works for Suri Cruise and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to hang out.  The gossip magazine says that Angelina Jolie  and Kattie Holmes chatted at a Golden Globe party back in January and made plans to get the two little girls together.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt already knew one another from their film Interview with a Vampire. Of course the two women talked about the kids.  “Both talked at length about their children,” said a source, “and they agreed to get their little girls together.”

According to a family insider, Suri  doesn’t take to other children quickly. “Suri’s a very shy young lady. Even when Tom or Katie have taken her to a park or beach and tried to introduce her to other kids for a little playtime, it hasn’t worked. She’s very clingy.”

Being friends with another celebrity family is the perfect opportunity to help Suri come out of her shell. “Because of security reasons, Katie can’t have just any child over to her home. But with celebrity tots like Shiloh and Zahara, there’s no problem.”

“Katie loves entertaining and spoke to Angelina about having an at-home tea party with cupcakes for the girls,” the friend “It’s something she has wanted to do for ages,” added another source close to the actress. “Katie told Angelina she just knew Suri and Shiloh are going to get along fantastically well,” says the insider, “and Suri is already getting into the idea.”

I doubt very seriously that much of this is true but it sure it fun thinking about these two precious little girls hanging out.

Fans and photogs spotted Angelina sprinting down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. yesterday, working on her upcoming thriller Salt. Angelina and the blond wig get a work out as she runs, possibly to evade fictional captures, down  President Obama’s street.

“She’s been filming a sprint scene this morning where she runs down the street and before she ran, she runs in place to get warmed up.” and eyewitness told OK! magazine. “She was doing all of the stunts herself but her stunt double was walking her through everything.”

(There’s a pic of Angelina with her stunt double below.)

“She’s having a lot of fun and joking on set with the stunt double. She’s in a great mood and was laughing with [co-star] Liev Schreiber in between takes. There were some fans who were watching her shoot and she was waving to them,” the eye witness added.”

Expect more photos of Angelina around Washington as she films outdoor scenes around DC.

….screamed nearly ever headline I read about Angelina Jolie today.  The story started with an OK! magazine cover story that said Angelina shouldn’t get pregnant again.

This according to a doctor that has never ever treated Angelina. Dr. Larrian Gillespie gave this quote:

“Angelina is at risk of having a stroke or heart attack, and because she developed gestational diabetes, there is a high risk she’ll have it again, with the child being at risk for diabetes.”

Yeah so how does she know this? Aren’t most pregnant women at risk for some complications? Dr. Gillespie probably got her information from the “insider” that claimed Angie’s pregnancies ended in “emergency caesarian sections.” It’s true that they were C-sections but I whether they were emergency or not we don’t. These stories continue to amuse me. First she’s pregnant again then she warned against a third pregnancy.

Grain of salt people. Take it all with a grain of salt. OK! magazine reports that Brad and Angie are set to adopt and African boy. According to the mag, the couple planned on adopting an African boy soon after they adopted Pax but plans changed when Angie found out she was pregnant with the twins.

“Angie and Brad have wanted an African boy for the last couple of years,” an “insider” told OK!. “They were initially going to have that adoption follow the addition of Pax last year, but that all changed when Angie got pregnant with twins last fall.”

I’m not sure what the article in it’s entirety(this story is only the web tease) but they’ve allegedly already started the process.

“Angelina was pretty far along in the process of adopting a beautiful baby that captured the couple’s heart when she and Brad got the surprise of their life and found out they were expecting,” the insider revealed.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

According to OK!, both Shiloh and Suri are expecting big sisters later on this year.

I didn’t know that Katie Holmes was expecting?! I guess time will tell. Just Jared says J.Lo fetched $6 million for pics of her uber cute twins.

Bonnie Fuller, American Media Editorial Director said, “If J.Lo really did get $6 million, then I think Angelina can now command $8 million. The magazines must look at it as a long-term investment, but I think it’ll cap out at a certain point. [But] I can’t think at this point who could command more money than Brangelina.�?

Neither can I. Although I have read that celebrity baby photos aren’t paying off like they used to. Most magazines are buying them just to keep the competitions from having the pictures which I really don’t understand. Perhaps they think that a cheaper magazine paying less money will give the competition a leg up.
