  • Angelina Jolie: Four of Her and Brad Pitt’s Six Kids in “Kung Fu Panda 3”

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six kids, and four of them joined their mom, scoring roles in the upcoming Kung Fu Panda 3.

    Reprising her role as the Tigress, Angelina Jolie encouraged her kids to take roles in the animated film.

    “They have some lines in the film,” her rep shared tells E! News.

    It seems it took a bit of coaxing on behalf of their mom to get them agree to taking the roles.

    “They were kind of shy,” Angelina Jolie says. “They don’t really want to be actors, but I didn’t want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it.”

    The four kids–Pax, 12, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 9, and Knox, 7, wound up enjoying the experience. Besides Knox, this wasn’t the first time Angelina Jolie’s kids had film roles. Pax, Zahara, and Vivienne all had roles in Maleficent. Shiloh and Maddox had roles in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and World War Z.

    Do you expect Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are a bit over-zealous when it comes to their children following in their acting footsteps? Or do you think they allow them to make their own decisions on whether or not to act?

  • Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Wanted 12 Kids: “Girls Can Do No Wrong”, Pitt Says

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six beautiful children, but originally they wanted many, many more.

    The golden couple of Hollywood apparently found six to be the perfect number–or at least, the number they can handle without exhausting themselves–and Pitt says he’s the disciplinarian in the house. That is, with the boys. The girls, he says, get a pass.

    “Everyone talks about the joy of having kids—blah, blah, blah. But I never knew how much I could love something until I looked in the faces of my children…Girls do no wrong. I feel like my job is to show ’em around, help them find what they want to do with their life, put as many things in front of them, and pull them back when they get out of line, so they know who they are,” Pitt says.

    Although he says the house is “chaos” when everyone is home at the same time, he also admits it’s fun being a parent even if it’s more of a challenge because of the work schedule he and Angelina have to work out. Because they travel so much, they have to put a lot of effort into the kids’ daily lives to make everything work.

    “Because we’re migratory workers in a sense, they have this wonderful thing where they get to be students of the world. They have memories of being in Vietnam, or that time in Paris, or over in Calgary. The downside is friends, sleepovers, team sports—these have been the challenges that we’ve had to work out. We do those things, but we really have to go out of our way. And Mom is a matador about it all—she’s fantastic. We get their friends to us a lot,” Pitt told the Telegraph.

    Outside of their careers, Brad and Angelina are well-known for their philanthropy, particularly Angelina, who is an ambassador for the UN. Earlier this year, she went public with her decision to have a double mastectomy after doctors discovered she carries the BRCA1 gene, which raises the chances of breast cancer greatly. Because she had so many family members die of cancer, Jolie decided to take preventative measures. After she shared her story, Jolie garnered headlines because of all the awareness she’d raised–and potential lives she’d saved.

  • Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her Reaction To Menopause

    Angelina Jolie bravely shared her decision earlier this year to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed due to a susceptibility to cancer, and now she’s opening up about what her body is going through following the surgery.

    The actress says she hasn’t had a bad reaction to it, but rather she feels comfortable with her body.

    “I actually love being in menopause. I haven’t had a terrible reaction to it, so I’m very fortunate. I feel older, and I feel settled being older,” Jolie said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph. “I feel happy that I’ve grown up. I don’t want to be young again.”

    Jolie, who has lost several family members to cancer, wrote a piece for the New York Times earlier this year announcing her decision, which came after her controversial voluntary double mastectomy. For Angelina, sharing her stories with the world meant possibly helping many women.

    “Two years ago I wrote about my choice to have a preventive double mastectomy. A simple blood test had revealed that I carried a mutation in the BRCA1 gene. It gave me an estimated 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer. I lost my mother, grandmother and aunt to cancer. I wanted other women at risk to know about the options,” Jolie wrote.

    Angelina Jolie also spoke recently about shooting her newest film, By The Sea, which she also wrote and produced. During filming, Jolie says, she got a very serious phone call that changed the way she saw the project…including a topless scene.

    “The film was written before I had the mastectomy. And then when I realized I was shooting the film, it did cross my mind to cut certain things. But I felt that was the wrong thing to do. That’s hiding something, and I just don’t believe in that. And then during the edit I got the call that I might have cancer and had to have my ovaries removed,” Jolie said.

    Angelina says that through it all, she had a strong support system in husband Brad Pitt, who “made it very, very clear to me that what he loved and what was a woman to him was somebody who was smart, and capable, and cared about her family, that it’s not about your physical body. So I knew through the surgeries that this wasn’t going to be something that made me feel like less of a woman, because my husband wouldn’t let that happen.”

  • Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt to Star in Film Together for First Time Since “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will star together on the big screen in November for the first time since starring in Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005.

    By the Sea hits U.S. theaters on November 13th, and follows former dancer Vanessa (Angelina Jolie) and her husband Roland (Brad Pitt), an American writer, as they travel the countryside together. The two are growing apart, and lingering in the seaside town draws them close to some of its inhabitants.

    Angelina Jolie recently said that filming By the Sea allowed the couple a bit of a honeymoon. She also admitted that their marriage isn’t always perfect.

    “Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn’t have made the film,” she says in the November issue of Vogue.

    Angelina Jolie covers the issue. Inside its pages, readers are treated not just to her interview, but of photos of her with Brad Pitt and their six children.

    “As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones,” Jolie says of By the Sea. “Just being raw actors. It’s not the safest idea. But life is short.”

    In addition to starring in the film, Angelina both wrote and directed it.

  • Charlize Theron Might Star in Hitman Thriller ‘The Gray Man’

    Charlize Theron is in talks for a spy-turned-assassin role that originally had another giant star attached to it.

    Deadline reports that Theron is circling Sony Pictures’ The Gray Man, a film which has been in the works for some time.

    A film that was once set to star Brad Pitt. That news broke in 2011, so this project has been stalled for a while.

    The Gray Man is an adaptation of a 2009 novel by Mark Greaney – his first. Greaney is known as a former collaborator of Tom Clancy. He worked with Clancy on his last three books and also published three novel continuations of Clancy’s character Jack Ryan in 2014-2015.

    If Theron takes the lead, the writers would have to switch things up a bit. The original lead in The Gray Man is male. As Deadline points out, “the thriller focuses on an expert CIA op-turned-assassin who is forced to evade adversaries as he saves the lives of daughters he didn’t know he had.”

    So it will involve at least a little bit of tweaking.

    But Theron is clearly up for the challenge of playing a spy/assassin.

    Charlize Theron wouldn’t be the only woman to play a role originally written for a man in an upcoming film. Sandra Bullock’s role in the upcoming Our Brand Is Crisis was originally written for George Clooney.

    And speaking of Theron and badass roles, there’s a chance that she won’t be appearing in the Mad Max sequel.

  • Christina Applegate: Does She Feel Guilty About Ditching Brad Pitt In ’89?

    Christina Applegate made a lot of people say “Whaaaat?!” earlier this week when she admitted on Watch What Happens Live! that she stood up Brad Pitt in 1989.

    Just for the record and in case you’re younger than 30, Brad Pitt was widely considered at the peak of hotness around that time.

    It seems Christina Applegate and Brad Pitt attended the 1989 MTV Movie Awards together, but she ditched him for another guy.

    Watch What Happens Live! host Andy Cohen grilled a clearly unsuspecting Christina Applegate about the incident.

    Andy Cohen said, “There was much talk of a date you went on with Brad Pitt to the MTV Movie Awards in 1989 in which you reported that you ditched mid-date, it says you ditched him for another guy.”

    I love these dudes!!!!

    A photo posted by Christina Applegate (@1capplegate) on

    He added, “My question is who was the other guy you ditched Brad Pitt for?”

    The Vacation star was playing a round of “Plead the Fifth”, but had already used her “fifth” on the previous question when she was asked which of her male co-stars was most well-endowed.

    Christina Applegate coyly asked, “How many fifths do I get? I have to say it?”

    After a pause in which her conscience seemed to be battling with the situation, she declared, “I don’t have to do nothing.”

    Andy Cohen did extract some info from Christina Applegate on the mystery man. The man wasn’t an actor, but was well-known to the public.

    No clue. Do you have any guesses as to who Christina Applegate’s mystery man was? He would have to have been worth ditching Brad Pitt for.

    Also, do you think Christina Applegate still feels a little guilty for ditching him?

  • Christina Applegate Ditched Brad Pitt On A Date, Pleads The Fifth

    Christina Applegate found out first hand that you have to learn when to plead the fifth and when not to.

    The 43-year-old is on the promo circuit for her latest film Vacation and recently dropped by Watch What Happens Live! where she participated in Andy Cohen’s infamous Plead The Fifth game.

    Cohen asks his guests several personal questions during the course of the game, with guests only getting one chance to “plead the fifth” and not answer the question.

    But Applegate was quick to use her one plea, an action she ended up regretting when Cohen’s next question turned out to be the infamous date she had with Brad Pitt in 1989.

    According to Hollywood rumors, the then 18-year-old Christina Applegate attended the MTV Movie Awards with Pitt, but ditched him mid-date for a mystery man.

    Cohen attempted to put an end to the 26-year-old rumor by directly asking Applegate who the mystery man was. “The question is, who was the guy you ditched Brad Pitt for?” the Bravo host asked.

    Applegate was obviously taken aback by the question and hemmed and hawed before asking “How many fifths do I get?”

    The Married with Children actress then jokingly said that “I don’t have to do nothin’.”

    Applegate remained mum on the identity of the mystery man, but Cohen was able to get her to more or less admit that the man wasn’t an actor but that he was quite known to the public.

    The former child star also revealed that she and the mystery man didn’t end up dating nor did she go out on another date with Pitt.

    The 47-year-old Cohen also didn’t get much out of Applegate on his second question, which she pleaded the fifth to. The TV personality asked Christina Applegate which of the stars she has worked with had the biggest bulge and she wisely demurred, although based on the Vacation trailer, no one would be surprised if she mentioned Chris Hemsworth.

  • Christina Applegate And Her Bad Decisions

    Christina Applegate And Her Bad Decisions

    Christina Applegate has recently revealed two really bad decisions she made early in her career.

    One, of course, was Christina Applegate’s infamously terrible decision to ditch Brad Pitt at the 1989 MTV Movie Awards.

    On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live!, Christina Applegate was caught off guard when host Andy Cohen confronted her with this particular bad decision.

    Cohen asked Christina Applegate, “There was much talk of a date you went on with Brad Pitt to the MTV Movie Awards in 1989 in which you reported that you ditched mid-date, it says you ditched him for another guy.”

    I love these dudes!!!!

    A photo posted by Christina Applegate (@1capplegate) on

    He added, “My question is who was the other guy you ditched Brad Pitt for?”

    Christina Applegate was in the midst of a round of “Plead the Fifth”, but had already used her one “fifth” on the previous question about which of her male co-stars was more well-endowed.

    Christina Applegate asked, “How many fifths do I get? I have to say it?”

    She then buckled down and said, “I don’t have to do nothing.”

    Seriously, ditching Brad Pitt? What happened there? And who was the other guy?

    Bad decision number two was when Christina Applegate passed on the role of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, which turned out to be a career maker for Reese Witherspoon.

    Christina Applegate explained to Entertainment Tonight, “The script came along my way, and it was right after I just finished Married [with Children], and it was a blonde who was, in that first script, dim-witted, but ends up going to Harvard.”

    She added, “I got scared. I got scared of repeating myself. What a stupid move that was, right?”

    However, Christina Applegate isn’t bitter. She said the right person got the role in the end.

    She said, “Reese deserved that, and she did a much better job than I ever could. And so, that’s her life, that’s her path.”

    What do you think about Christina Applegate’s decision-making abilities? Sometimes…they are like us, right?

  • Christina Applegate Refuses To Say Who The Mystery Man Is That She Dumped Brad Pitt For

    Christina Applegate has caused a flurry of disbelief and rabid speculation after she was accosted on an episode of Watch What Happens Live! with the question that shook the world.

    It seems Christina Applegate ditched Brad Pitt, yes, Brad Pitt, in 1989 during a date to the MTV Movie Awards.

    While her actions are clearly inexcusable and mind-boggling, most are left wondering: So WHO is this guy that Christina Applegate ditched Brad Pitt for?

    During the episode of Watch What Happens Live!, Christina Applegate was surprised by the question from host Andy Cohen.

    Cohen said, “There was much talk of a date you went on with Brad Pitt to the MTV Movie Awards in 1989 in which you reported that you ditched mid-date, it says you ditched him for another guy.”

    I love these dudes!!!!

    A photo posted by Christina Applegate (@1capplegate) on

    He continued, “My question is who was the other guy you ditched Brad Pitt for?”

    Christina Applegate was participating in a round of “Plead the Fifth”, but she had already used her “fifth” already.

    Christina Applegate coyly asked, “How many fifths do I get? I have to say it?”

    Then, when pressed for an answer, Christina Applegate said defiantly, “I don’t have to do nothing.”

    Luckily, Andy Cohen asked a series of follow-up questions that brought out the fact that the man was not a movie star, but was well known to the public.

    Also, Christina Applegate said she never formed a relationship with the other man and she never had another date with Brad Pitt.

    So, the question remains: Who do you think Christina Applegate ditched Brad Pitt for?

  • Christina Applegate Dumped Brad Pitt For Mystery Man In ’89

    Christina Applegate committed a most inexcusable crime, especially for 1989.

    Christina Applegate ditched a very new-on-the scene and gorgeous Brad Pitt for another man.

    She wouldn’t say who, but does it matter?

    Christina Applegate admitted to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that the rumors were true that she and Brad Pitt attended the 1989 Movie Awards together.

    But Christina Applegate didn’t leave with Brad Pitt.

    I love these dudes!!!!

    A photo posted by Christina Applegate (@1capplegate) on

    Unfortunately, Christina Applegate was asked the question during a round of “Plead the Fifth” and she did. Even though she had already used her fifth, but whatever.

    Andy Cohen seemed just as shocked at Christina Applegate’s mistake as anyone. He asked, “You ditched him for another guy? The question is, who was the guy you ditched Brad Pitt for?”

    Christina Applegate then tried to evade the question about Pitt, asking, “How many fifths do I get?”

    Cheers to the weekend! It's @1capplegate & @instasuelos in the Clubhouse at 11/10c! #WWHL

    A photo posted by Watch What Happens Live! (@bravowwhl) on

    To which Cohen replied, “You had your fifth.”

    She still wasn’t budging.

    Christina Applegate did say the mystery man wasn’t an actor but that he was well known to the public. Also, the two of them never really formed a for-real relationship.

    What if Christina Applegate would have ended up with Brad Pitt?

    What a crazy world we would be living in now.

    What do you think of Christina Applegate ditching Brad Pitt for someone else back in 1989? Pretty crazy, right?

  • Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Spotted Eating Fresh At Subway

    Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Spotted Eating Fresh At Subway

    Power-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were spotted acting like common folk, ordering six dollar Subway meals despite being Hollywood multi-millionaires.

    TMZ reported that the paparazzi snapped a photo of Angelina Jolie and her husband Brad Pitt along with some of their six children stopping by at the sandwich chain’s branch in Glendale, California.

    The world famous couple kept things casual for their low-key outing with Pitt wearing a button-down shirt and slacks and topping the ensemble with a brown panama hat; Jolie, 40, wore a striped boat-neck shirt, flats, and her trademark black skinny jeans.

    One of the sandwich artists shared that the couple ordered two Meatball Marinara foot-longs, one Chicken Teriyaki sandwich, a kids’ meal for their younger children. The couple paid a total tab of $44. Pitt, 51, left the excited sandwich artist a plush tip of $6.

    Apparently, the famous husband and wife took advantage of the discount menu.

    One Subway employee told local CBS affiliate KCAL9 that everyone who was in the shop at that time was starstruck by the couple’s surprise visit.

    Grisell Gonzalez, Subway employee, says that the A-List couple were so cute.

    “They were very, like, hugging and kissing and they looked like they were really in love and everything,’ Gonzalez continued.

    The sandwich cruise of the superstar couple was in perfect timing for Subway.

    Just last week, the chain fired their weight-loss pitchman Jared Fogle after recent controversies sparked the FBI to search and investigate his house after a woman accused him of making inappropriate comments about middle-school girls.

    Fogle was famous for losing 245 pounds eating low-calorie Subway sandwiches. The recent revelations shocked most Americans and Subway consumers.

    BusinessInsider.com says, “The fact that the socially-conscious and wealthy couple took their children there sends the message that Subway is a family-friendly choice.”

    “With the Jared Fogle scandal looming, the brand needs this kind of exposure.”

  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Eat Fresh, Gunning for Jared Fogle’s Job?

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Eat Fresh, Gunning for Jared Fogle’s Job?

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have all the money in the world–well, they have a lot. They can certainly afford to eat just about any place their hearts desire. This past weekend, their hearts desired a $5 foot long–or so it seems. Maybe they were just gunning for Jared Fogle’s job instead.

    Yes, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt graced a Subway sandwich shop in Glendale, California, where they ordered and took home $44 worth of food for themselves and their six children.

    Us Weekly reports that Brad and Angie were dressed in their typically around-town weekend style. Angelina Jolie wore her trademark black skinny jeans. She paired them with a striped boatneck top. Brad Pitt wore dress slacks and a buttoned-down shirt, with his trademark fedora on his head.

    A Subway employee told a local CBS station that everyone inside the sandwich shop was shocked to see Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walk in.

    “My co-worker went to the back to tell my manager, ‘Did you see who’s in the front?’ And she was like, ‘No,’” Subway employee Grisell Gonzalez said. “She was like, ‘It’s Angelina and Brad Pitt!’ She’s like, ‘Is it really them?’”

    In addition to eating picking up food from Subway, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also celebrated twins Knox and Vivienne’s seventh birthdays this weekend. The family had a low-key party at a local indoor skating rink.

    Do you think Jared Fogle has to worry he’ll never get his Subway spokesperson spot back? Even if he is cleared of any connection to child pornography, does he have to consider that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt might want his job?

    Of course not.

    The couple did leave the Subway sandwich artist a $6 tip.

  • Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Enjoy A Cuppa Tea With Prince William and Kate Middleton at Kensington Palace

    Angelina Jolie and husband Brad Pitt joined Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday for tea.

    Jealous!

    According to Us Weekly, the foursome have tried to get together for months, but it seems the royals were a little busy welcoming Princess Charlotte to the world.

    Finally, on Friday, Angelina Jolie, Pitt and the royal couple enjoyed a private Kensington Palace meeting, confirmed People magazine.

    “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt at Kensington Palace on Friday afternoon,” a Kensington Palace spokesman told Us Weekly exclusively. “They discussed their shared interest in combatting the illegal wildlife trade.”

    Angelina Jolie, a United Nations Special Envoy, and Brad Pitt were in London so Jolie could attend a lunch at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on Monday “as part of her work on UK foreign policy and her ongoing campaign to end war zone sexual violence.”

    According to the insider for the magazine, Middleton and Prince William were “really excited” about the afternoon tea with Brangelina. Apparently, they were so excited that they waited outside their apartment 1A home to greet Brad and Angie.

    Seriously, are they allowed to do that? Protocol and all…

    Brad and Angelina Jolie came bearing a gift for little Charlotte, who was born in May. Although the Pitt-Jolie children are in London with their parents, the couple left the kids behind.

    “Everyone got on splendidly,” an Us Weekly source said. “Brad and Angelina spent much longer with the Duke and Duchess than planned. They ended up staying for almost a few hours.”

    Sounds like a pretty good way to spend a quiet Friday afternoon while in London.

    It’s very proper for the foursome to meet. After all, Queen Elizabeth II made Jolie an Honorary Dame Commander — basically the female equivalent of knighthood — at a private Buckingham Palace ceremony in October 2014, for her humanitarian work.

    Does that mean the royal couple addressed her as Lady Angelina Jolie?

  • Angelina Jolie in Talks to Reprise ‘Maleficent’ Role

    Angelina Jolie is reportedly in the midst of talks about reprising her role in one of her most lucrative and creative films of all time. Yes, Disney fans–that means a Maleficent sequel is likely in the works.

    Does this mean that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Vivienne Pitt-Jolie might be cast again, too? She played the young sleeping beauty in the film that grossed close to $760 million at box offices worldwide.

    During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Angelina Jolie discussed preparation for her role in Maleficent, and talked that while she loved playing the Mistress of All Evil, she may have taken her preparation for the real a bit too seriously.

    “I loved being Maleficent,” she said. “I was quite sad to put my staff down and put my horns away because somehow, she just lives in a different world,” she added. “But I did have to take my staff home to practice walking with it in my cloak, and then I would go outside and scream at the bushes to expand my voice and play with my voice. So, Mom was a bit nutso for a period.”

    ‘Nutso’ clearly resulted in a huge hit for Angelina Jolie–and now talk of a sequel as well.

    What did hubby Brad Pitt think of Angelina Jolie’s role in Maleficent?

    “He thinks she’s cool,” Jolie said.

    How cool would it be to see Angelina Jolie return to the big screen once again in a Maleficent sequel?

  • Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Not Adopting from Syria

    Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been a hot topic on the rumor mill this past week, and while it’s certainly nothing scandalous that’s been reported, it’s completely untrue. Multiple outlets have said the couple is adopting a child from Syria–on the heels of Angelina Jolie’s surgery to remove her ovaries. They are not, however.

    Multiple sources tell People magazine that no such adoption is in the works–or even on the radar, for that matter.

    Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are already the parents of six children–three of whom they adopted. Sources close to the couple insist that rumors they are expanding their family further via Syrian adoption are “totally false” and “absolutely not true.”

    In December, Angelina Jolie said in an interview with People magazine, when asked if she and Brad Pitt planned to have more children, “Not at the moment, no. I don’t imagine so, but something could change tomorrow, so I don’t know.”

    Did this benign statement spark rumors of an adoption? It often doesn’t take much for a rumor to spread from one media outlet to the other.

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still relatively young parents–Jolie is 39 and Pitt is 51, however, so ruling out adoption on a permanent basis would be a harsh assumption. According the sources at the moment, however, it truly doesn’t appear to be in the cards.

  • Shiloh Jolie Pitt And Sister Zahara Show Support For Mother Angelina Jolie At Kids’ Choice Awards

    Hollywood A-list celebrity daughter Shiloh Jolie Pitt attended the Nickelodeon 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards with her famous mother, Angelina Jolie and 10-year-old sister Zahara.

    Since birth, Shiloh has been listed as one of Hollywood’s most beautiful children many times, which is not a surprise, really. The 8-year-old has her mother’s big, sparkling, blue eyes, pouty lips, beautiful cheek bones and heart-shaped face. She has also inherited Brad Pitt’s famous blonde locks.

    Shiloh sported a simple, gray hoodie over a black tee while Zahara rocked a white sweater. The two girls came to the event in support of their mother Jolie, who announced earlier this month that she had just undergone a major surgery. Jolie had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to prevent cancer. Jolie’s attendance was her first public appearance since revealing her second preventive surgery.

    Jolie earned two nominations at the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, which was held on March 28 in Inglewood, California. She was nominated for Favorite Villain and favorite Movie Actress for the movie Maleficent. Shiloh’s mom won Favorite Villain but lost Favorite Actress to The Amazing Spider Man 2 leading lady Emma Stone.

    Jolie hugged Shiloh and Zahara before going up the stage to receive her award and give her speech. Jolie delivered a heartfelt and empowering message not only to her daughters but to anyone who’s ever felt out of place, saying being different is good.

    “When I was little, like Maleficent, I was told that I was different. And I felt out of place — too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in,” Jolie said.

    “And, then one day I realized something, something that I hope you all realize: Different is good,” she added, prompting enthusiastic screams from the young crowd. “And, as your villain, I would also say cause a little trouble — it’s good for you.”

  • Angelina Jolie Attends Kids Choice Awards With Daughter Zahara and Shiloh

    Angelina Jolie made her first post-surgery appearance on Saturday night when she attended the Kids Choice Awards with daughters Shiloh and Zahara.

    Jolie had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed just a short time ago following a cancer scare. It was back in 2013 when the actress had a double mastectomy following genetic testing that showed she was at high risk for developing both breast and ovarian cancer.

    On Saturday, however, Angelina Jolie radiated life and confidence alongside two of her daughters. They were especially thrilled when their famous mom won a Kids Choice Award. She won for Best Villain for her role in Maleficent. She was also nominated for Best Actress, but lost out to Emma Stone for her role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

    Seeing Angelina Jolie with her daughters–Shiloh is eight and Zahara is 10–further prove a statement she made to People magazine prior to tying the knot with Brad Pitt.

    “We’ve been through so much,” she said at the time. “We’ve gotten a lot closer, which I think naturally happens with raising a family together. You have history. … You have this person who really knows you, and you know them so well. You’re not lovers or boyfriend and girlfriend as much as you are a family.”

    On Saturday, Jolie addressed those at the Kids Choice Awards, as well as viewers at home.

    “Thank you so much to all the kids who voted. I want to say that when I was little, like Maleficent, I was told that I was different and I felt out of place and too loud, too full of fire and never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in. And then one day I realized something, something I hope you all realize. Different is good. So, don’t fit in, don’t sit still, don’t ever try to be less than what you are and when someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up high and be proud,” she said. “And, and as your villain, I would also say, cause a little trouble. It’s good for you.”

    Angelina Jolie even got through the entire Kids Choice Awards event, and walked away without getting slimed.

    Shiloh and Zahara might have enjoyed seeing that happen.

  • Jennifer Aniston Puckers Up for Isla Fisher’s Baby Bump After Oscars

    Jennifer Aniston was among the best dressed at the Oscars on Sunday, and she looked gorgeous at the Vanity Fair after party as well. While backstage at the after party, Jen couldn’t resist getting up close and personal with Isla Fisher’s baby bump.

    It was back in October when Isla Fisher withdrew from the Now You See Me sequel, and announced that she and hubby, actor Sacha Baron Cohen, were expecting their third child. Due this spring, that baby bump is burgeoning, and Jennifer Aniston simply couldn’t help herself. She dropped down low to the ground and aligned her face with the baby bump. Next, she puckered up–as if kissing Isla Fisher’s bump–and posed for the camera.

    Both ladies looked Oscars-perfect in the shot. Jennifer Aniston shone brightly in gold sparkles, while Fisher wore a beautiful white maternity dress bedecked in lovely cascades of blue flowers.

    Some folks have wondered if Jennifer Aniston regrets not having children. She is engaged to marry Justin Theroux, but no wedding date has been set. She was, of course, previously married to Brad Pitt.

    Jennifer Aniston set people straight about her life sans children during an interview back in August.

    “Who knows what the reason is, why people aren’t having kids. There’s a lot of reasons that could be, and maybe it’s something that no one wants to discuss,” she said. “It’s everyone’s personal prerogative, that’s all.”

    By seeing Jennifer Aniston kissing Isla Fisher’s baby bump, one gets the distinct feeling that the Cake actress and former Friends star doesn’t feel left out of life because she isn’t a mother. In fact, she seems to be doing just exceptionally well in all aspects of her life.

  • Jennifer Aniston Buries Beef With Angelina Jolie

    For the first time since the Academy Awards back in 2009, Jennifer Aniston attended the same event with Angelina Jolie. During the star-studded Critic’s Choice Awards last Thursday, the former wife of Brad Pitt was spotted sitting a few tables away from the Maleficent star. The two were both nominated for different categories: Aniston for per dramatic performance in Cake and Jolie for directing the critically-acclaimed World War II film, Unbroken.

    Aniston went to the ceremonies with her fiancé, actor Justin Theroux, while Jolie went solo. The two Hollywood superstars were only three tables away from each other and spectators awaited whether the two actresses would interact during the show.

    In an interview with Entertainment Tonight following the awards show, Aniston felt that the gossip between her and Jolie are finally dying down. “It’s just tiresome and old,” she said. “It’s like an old leather shoe. Let’s buy a new pair of shiny shoes.”

    Aniston also hailed Jolie’s film as “beautiful and wonderful. “She did such a gorgeous job. I think that it’s time people stop with that petty BS and just start celebrating great work,” she continued. The Golden Globe nominated actress requested the gossip mongers to stop the petty kind of silliness.

    Brad Pitt and Aniston were married back in 2000, but the two separated in 2005 following news about Pitt and Jolie’s closeness during the shooting of their film, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. For years, the three Hollywood stars had to deal with the chatter surrounding their personal lives.

    After the Oscar nominations were revealed last week, Aniston’s fans were outraged about the Academy’s decision to snub her powerful performance. In the film, Aniston plays an alcoholic who grapples with her inner demons after a woman in her support group committed suicide.  “I found it quite endearing and flattering that I had so many people rooting for me. It was almost just as good to be No. 1 snubbed than to be nominated,” Aniston commented.

  • Jennifer Aniston Praises Angelina Jolie’s ‘Unbroken,’ Says People Need to Stop the ‘Petty B.S.” About Supposed Rivalry

    Jennifer Aniston has had enough with the “petty B.S.” surrounding continual reports that there is a rivalry between her and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt’s wife, Angelina Jolie.

    Jennifer Aniston had nothing but praise for Angelina Jolie’s film, Unbroken, the highly-acclaimed but Oscar-snubbed World War II biopic.

    “I think that’s slowly coming to an end. I really do,” Jennifer Aniston told Entertainment Tonight about the supposed rivalry between the two actresses.

    “I mean, that movie is so beautiful and wonderful and she did such a gorgeous job. I think that it’s time people stop with that petty B.S. and just start celebrating great work and stop with the petty kind of silliness,” Aniston continued. “It’s just tiresome and old. It’s like an old leather shoe. Let’s buy a new pair of shiny shoes.”

    Jennifer Aniston’s performance in the drama Cake also has been widely praised, but was likewise snubbed for an Oscar nomination.

    The supposed feud began after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fell for each other on the set of 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which led to Jennifer Aniston‘s split from Pitt that same year. Jolie told Vogue in 2006 that the two did indeed fall for each other during filming.

    “It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we’d earlier allowed ourselves to believe,” she said. “And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration.”

    “Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.’ … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair,” said Jolie.

  • Jennifer Aniston Reveals Her Not-So-Secret Secrets To Maintaining Her Looks

    At 45 years old, actress Jennifer Aniston still looks amazing. And it is because of that that the Friends star is featured on the cover of InStyle’s February 2015 issue. In the cover story, Aniston dishes about her thoughts on beauty and body image, as well as how she maintains her looks.

    Aniston tells the magazine, “Blasphemy, I know. I never ate pasta. I’ve been allowing myself a lot more in the past few years. Which does make it harder to lose those last few pounds. But you have to live. And so what? You go up a size. What’s the big deal?”

    She also spilled some of her beauty secrets which, as it turns out, are not quite secret at all. “I just take care of my skin, eat well, exercise,” Aniston said. The actress professed to be a fan of non-invasive beauty treatments. She says, “And I love lasers and [other noninvasive treatments like] Thermage [radio frequency] and Ultherapy [ultrasound]. I also like a good microcurrent facial.” However, she admits she is not a fan of Botox and other forms of plastic surgery. “People lose perspective. I look around and see how bad plastic surgery and injections can really kick you in the ass.”

    Aside from her beauty tips, Aniston, who’s been getting rave reviews for her performance in Cake, also opened up about her relationship with actor/writer Justin Theroux.

    “If I haven’t gotten wiser about relationships, then I should be kicked out of life school because I’ve had some really good training,” Aniston joked, referring to her very public split with Brad Pitt.

    Aniston added that the couple are already planning their upcoming nuptials. “There’s a big discussion in our house right now: Do you just do it and say screw it? Or do you try desperately to get away with [a secret ceremony] where you don’t have any fun because you’re hiding in a cave somewhere,” Aniston said. “If we could do it without all the buzzing and the noise… It can be done. Where there’s a will there’s a way.”
