Lizzie Smith Angelina Jolie has admitted that she and Brad Pitt fell in love while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Hollywood's most glamorous couple have always stressed that they only fell for one another AFTER Brad had split from the Friends star. But Jolie has now confessed that they found love on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004, when rumours of romance first emerged but long before Brad's break-up. However, it was not clear if the 'confession' was a bid for more openness - or an accidental slip-up during an interview with The New York Times which she was 'jet-lagged'. The revelation came during a seemingly innocent aside that she is excited about her children being one-day able to see their mother and father in Mr And Mrs Smith. Tellingly, she explained: 'Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.' But Angelina will not be afraid of a public backlash, as she insisted: 'I live in a bit of a bubble when i...

Hey, everyone! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have arrived in America for the first time since the birth of their twins! This is very important news, and we’ll tell you why soon. Anyway, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived in New York for the first time since the birth of their last children so that Angelina can promote her new movie The Changeling. We said we’d tell you why it was so important that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were returning to America, didn’t we? Well, alright, we will - it’s important because, um, well, Brad Pitt is, um… and Angelina sort of… no. We’ve got nothing. Literally nothing. Maybe they left the gas on or something. We genuinely couldn’t care less. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins haven’t been on this planet for long, but the time they have spent on it has almost exclusively been in France. Imagine that - 10 weeks surrounded by nothing but onion trees, shrugging mechanics, afternoon naps and excessive female bodyhair. That’s tantamount to child ab...

The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits." The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out." Indeed, Jolie has spoken about her goal to do just that. "If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young," she told Elle U.K. last year. Brad Pitt turns 45 on December 18.

Hollywood star Brad Pitt has told American television he wants more children with his partner Angelina Jolie. "We're just getting started," he said in an interview on CNN's Larry King Live that aired last night in the US. The 43-year-old star of such movies as Babel and Ocean's Eleven described Jolie as "a fantastic mother" to their four children - Maddox, six; Pax, four; Zahara, two; and Shiloh, one, adding that while parenthood is "the hardest job in the world", "it is everything" to him. Pitt said in the interview that acting was becoming less important to him and that he would like to spend his time on other pursuits. "It's become less and less a focus as I get older," he said. "I think it's really more of a younger man, younger woman's game." He said he didn't intend to give up acting - "I'd like to drop in if I'm still invited every few years or so" - but added, "It take...

Angelina Jolie's adoption of an Ethiopian baby was legal, the agency involved said today, rejecting reports that the child's relatives want her back. Newspapers have reported this week that relatives of two-year-old Zahara, including a woman who says she is her birth mother, want the child returned to Ethiopia. Jolie adopted Zahara in July, 2005. "The court in Addis Ababa approved the adoption after studying the document her grandmother wrote ... saying her daughter, the mother of Zahara, had died and she was too poor to bring her up," Tsegaye Berhe, the head of Wide Horizons for Children, which conducted the adoption, told Reuters. "The grandmother brought three witnesses to court who testified that Zahara's mother had died and that her father was unknown ... The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption." Tsegaye said the adoption was "legal and irrevocable", and he blamed reporter...

Angelina Jolie signed autographs and chatted with fans today in London's Leicester Square during the British premiere of the movie Beowulf . Jolie, wearing black leather trousers and a tight sweater over her slender frame, brought along her boyfriend Brad Pitt. "It's so, so nice to see all these fans here, it always is," she told reporters as hundreds of people lined up outside the brightly lit runway to the theatre. "I haven't been here for a little bit. I lived here for a few years, and I do plan to come back more often." Pitt, dressed in a grey flat-cap, stood back. "I'm off duty tonight," he told reporters before heading into the theatre with Jolie to watch the film. Director Robert Zemeckis brings the Norse legend of Beowulf to life with technology similar to what he used on The Polar Express to capture live actors whose performances are then digitally animated. Jolie plays Beowulf's vile foe, Grendel's mother. Co-star S...

Pitt, dressed in a grey flat-cap, refused to steal the limelight, telling reporters "I'm off duty tonight." Beowulf co-stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ray Winstone also showed up for the premiere.

The couple has been plagued with reports that claim that Brad and Angelina, who met while on the sets of their movie ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’, will soon be going their separate ways. Brad Pitt has finally spoken out himself to deny rumours that he and ladylove Angelina Jolie are on the verge of splitting. The couple has been plagued with reports that claim that Brad and Angelina, who met while on the sets of their movie ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’, will soon be going their separate ways. However, the ‘Troy’ star has broken his silence in an interview with the Mirror, and told the paper that he and Angelina were strong as ever.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt treated their kids to the quintessential New York City weekend, complete with a trip to a hot-dog cart and a carousel ride in Central Park. Then on Saturday night, it was all about helping a good cause: The pair took a helicopter to the Hamptons to host a dinner party raising money to help rebuild New Orleans. Both dressed in white, Jolie, 32, and Pitt, 43, left Manhattan and flew into Westhampton for the event, after they were diverted from nearby East Hampton because of foggy conditions. From there, the couple ended up taking a cab to the home of Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, the married couple who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival with Robert De Niro. Christie Brinkley, Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Buffett were among the celeb guests, New York's Daily News reports, and Pitt himself gave a speech on helping those affected by Katrina. The more than 50 guests were served cocktails followed by dinner (a buffet of lamb, salmon and corn pudding), all unde...
