Angelina Jolie Watch

Rumor alert! Us Weekly is reporting that Brad and Angelina used fertility treatments to conceive the twins. A “well placed” source insists that our favorite couple went this route so they “wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant”. If the rumor is true(I highly doubt that it is), it would explain the twins. The chance of having fraternal twins jumps from 1 to 25 percent when couples conceive via in vitro.

This really doesn’t ring true. Angie got pregnant with Shiloh very quickly. This article suggests that Angie and Brad didn’t really give natural methods try but just jumped right in with fertility treatments. Oh well, I’m sure US Weekly didn’t get the baby photos so they’ve got to have something to print.

US Magazine reports(not the most reliable source but they’ve been known to get at thing or two right) insists that Angelina and Brad are set to sell their baby announcement to benefit charity. I have no idea how much these things go for but the Shiloh’s pics were rumored to have fetched $4 million bucks. Let’s just say the announcement earns them $1 million dollars. That money would allow the UNHCR to:

• Help 250,000 refugees trace their families.
• Give 15,625 people all whether shelters
• Put a survival kit containing blankets, stoves and other essentials in the hands hands of 2,500 refugee families
• Sink 800 clean water wells
• Provides 20,000 children with therapeutic feeding kits that could save their lives.

The press won’t stop until they get concrete confirmation or denial. I’d say that making a deal for charity is the best course and would  help a lot of people.

US Magazine is saying that Angelina Jolie is living a double life… and I hate to say it, but they may be a little right.

First Angie announced that she was going to be a stay-at-home mom to help Pax adjust to his new life. Four days later she announced that she had signed on for the movie Wanted (set to film in Prague starting in April) and she flew out to Chicago for a screen test for Wanted on March 23 (I somehow missed that one, but that’s where US is saying she was). She will also be filming Atlas Shrugged and The Changeling this fall.

Is Angie really “stay[ing] at home to help Pax adjust to his new life”? Jolie told the Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper on March 16. “I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for the moment.”

Do you think Angie is giving Pax the time and attention that he needs to learn a new language, adjust to his new family and be emotionally ready to fly around the world constantly? Or does she need to take it easy and give him more time to adjust?

According to the people at IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com, Jennifer Aniston has completely lost it. Apparently Jennifer’s “friends” decided to open their mouths to US Weekly who printed the, more-or-less fodder in January’s issue. These “close friends” are claiming that Aniston’s mental state is “fragile” lately, particularly since Vince Vaughn’s cheating and Angelina’s maryad of interviews to promote her new movie The Good Shepherd.

On the effect of seeing pictures of baby Shiloh:
“she collapses in a heap, clutching her womb like she’s been stabbed if she so much as passes a baby stroller on the street.”

On how she deal with it:
“throwing baby dolls into a bonfire on the beach behind her place in Malibu. It’s creepy, but she says it makes her feel better for a few hours.”

Hey, there’s a bright side:
“At least she’s stopped watching ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ over and over again, for days at a time without eating or sleeping. That just wasn’t healthy.”

According to IDontLikeYouInThatWay “Jennifer Aniston could eat live bunnies and seem less crazy”. I personally think that’s taking it a little lot too far, but I do agree with them that if Jennifer is really burning baby dolls in her back yard that she should seek help, and not pass go on her way to the pharmacy to fill her perscription of Prozac.

I do think IDLYITW has a point in saying, “In Jennifer’s defense, it must suck knowing that the only reason you were ever considered A-list has moved on and started a family with someone who is better than you in every possible way. Not in Jennifer’s defense, it’s been two years. If my math is right, this means it takes less time for a newborn baby to speak in complete sentences than it does for Jennifer Aniston to realize Brad Pitt isn’t coming back home.”

Um. Not the Pagan kind or the Halloween kind with the pointy hat either… we’re talking about the kind that you can usually interchange the w for a b and still have an accurate description of the person.

US Magazine reports that a source close to Jennifer Aniston said “She is so torn-up about the fact that Brad was able to move on and has a perfect family life with that witch.�?. Hmmm, if that’s to be believed, then apparently Jen is still having a hard time enduring Brad’s relatively public relationship with Angelina. I hope for everyone involved that Jen has either already moved on (every now and then a source gets it wrong, go figure!) or will move on shortly. Her original pain is starting to look a wee bit whiny.

At least the perfect family is happy. Or so we hope.

I know I’ve already covered this once, but since I’ve just gotten the pic of the cover of US I have to mention it again. Am I the only one who doesn’t understand WHY Jolie and Aniston would WANT to get together to chit chat?

I can only hope that the recent talk of Angelina and Jennifer Aniston getting together is just a publicity stunt to make Angie look even more sweet, innocent, do-gooderish and motherly in the public eye and to try and further insist (READ: shove down our throats) that Angie and Brad weren’t getting their groove on when Brad and Jen were still a couple.

But isn’t it a little late for that? Does anyone still care? Seriously, hasn’t enough time has gone by that it doesn’t matter one way or the other anymore? Um, lessee, 9 months of baby-bump and now little Shiloh is just under 7 months… so we can just start the time-line then. 16 months ago. Heck, that’s enough time for Britney Spears to produce almost 2 entire offspring.

My vote? I really don’t care if they ever talk. In fact the idea of them splitting a wonderful low-fat low-calorie meal just sparks Jerry Springer thoughts in my wee little head.
