Stunning, smart and slightly insane, this Hollywood icon is known for romancing her costars, kissing her brother at the Oscars, exotic tattoos and commendable humanitarian efforts. The daughter of Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, she first garnered attention as a high-school computer wiz in the film Hackers after which she married costar Jonny Lee Miller. Their marriage died in 1999 just when Jolie's career was heating up. She appeared in three films that year including the seriocomic Pushing Tin which introduced her to hubby No. 2, Billy Bob Thornton, and the mental-institution drama Girl, Interrupted, which earned her an Oscar. Subsequently, Jolie made a series of blockbusters (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) and bombs (Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow), none of which made use of her considerable acting talents. After divorcing Thornton in 2003, Jolie devoted much of her time to working with refugees in impoverished countries and raising her adopted children. In 2005, around the time her action film Mr. & Mrs. Smith was released, rumors circulated that she and recently separated costar Brad Pitt were having an affair. Although they refused to confirm the relationship, they remained tabloid cover stars for months until Jolie finally admitted in early 2006 that she was pregnant with his child.

Actress Angelina Jolie wants to be her children's "friend" when they are teenagers.The 37-year-old raises six kids, Maddox, 11, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and twins Knox and Vivienne, four, with fiance Brad Pitt.

"I am looking forward to them trying to pretend they are not doing anything wrong," Jolie as saying."I'll be their friend and I'll be honest with them and I hope whatever they go through they can talk to me. That's the best I can do. I'll try to be as close to them as I am now. So when they get to the point they don't want to talk to me, they know deep down I love them and we have that relationship. It's tough for everyone those years," she added.

At the “A Mighty Heart” premiere, Angelina wore a $26 vintage dress and rocked it with grace and style as she normally does in much more expensive dress on the red carpet. I like the fact that she didn’t judge the garment by the price tag or by the designer name. This is knowing true style and being able to wear it gracefully is five stars.

Brad Pitt lifted a glass of sparkling wine and toasted Angelina Jolie as the couple’s friends and family looked on at Hollywood’s Magnolia restaurant. The pair was there Dec. 8 to salute Angelina’s directorial debut, but Brad and Jolie also appeared to delight in their own much more private news: They want a new baby in 2012.Now that the youngest of their brood of six children, twins Knox and Vivienne, are 3, Angelina, 36, is ready to expand her family. “She jokes about triplets constantly. And she’s not a big joker, really,Jolie and Brad have talked at length. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that she’ll have another child.”

Although the couple is playing coy with the media, it’s difficult not to see their delight. “Nothing is planned... I could end up pregnant,” Angelina Jolie recently said. Brad, too, also let slip about the family’s desire for more children. “I don’t know that we’re finished. I don’t know,” he said on 60 Minutes.Certainly, the Jolie-Pitts are in a unique position to be able to afford as many children as they want, but the confidante says that though money isn’t an issue, Jolie may be taking a risk with her health: “It’s very serious. She’s had two very high-risk pregnancies. Both times, her blood pressure shot up, and she developed gestational diabetes. I don’t know if she could survive a third round.”

But Brad, 47, is caught up in the thrill of becoming a dad again, and Angelina, who is used to getting exactly what she wants, plans to become pregnant despite any potential problems. “Angelina is determined,” says another insider. “She is dead set on giving the kids a baby brother or sister as soon as possible.”

Did Megan Fox jump or was she pushed? With “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” about to be unleashed, the latest reports suggest executive producer Steven Spielberg fired the actress from the franchise following comments about director Michael Bay. At the time, Fox had said it was her choice to leave the blockbuster series, but now Bay has revealed a different story to The Daily Mail: “You know the Hitler thing. Steven said, fire her right now.” The “Hitler thing” dates back to an interview the actress gave last year to Wonderland magazine, where Fox compared Bay to Hitler. Spielberg, it seems, took the most offence at the comment. Following the removal of Fox, British model turned actress Rosie Huntingdon Whitley was cast opposite Shia LaBeouf in the new film. Crew members were quick to defend the director, with an open letter on his website stating: “Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actress' life.

“He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in 'Transformers', a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and ogled women on earth.

“She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina -- second thought she's no Angelina. You see, Angelina is a professional. We know this quite intimately because we've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb as a rock Megan Fox on both 'Transformers' movies.” Bay himself remained relatively quiet on the subject matter himself, but others on set again spoke out to defend him.

Brad Pitt had reservations about playing a domineering dad in Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life.But Pitt had no hesitation joking that he does not spare the rod in raising his six children with Angelina Jolie."I beat my kids regularly. That seems to do the trick," Pitt wisecracked when asked at a press conference about his own parenting style. "And deprive them of meals."Pitt, 47, stars with Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain in Malick's sweeping family drama, whose scope is so expansive it includes images of the birth of creation and the age of dinosaurs.Against that cosmic backdrop, Malick presents the troubled life of a family headed by a saintly mum (Chastain) and an alternately tender and cruel dad (Pitt), whose reign over his three sons leaves them disturbed and even hostile toward their father.Penn plays the oldest son as he reflects back on his boyhood in the 1950s."I was a little hesitant about playing the oppressive father, but I felt like the story was so important, and for me, it was really about the kid's journey," said Pitt,.He has wondered what his children will think about the autocratic figure he plays in The Tree of Life."My kids are going to see it when they grow up, and how are they going to feel?" Pitt said. "They know me as a dad, and I hope they'll just think I'm a pretty damn good actor."

Hot Star Angelina Jolie's directorial debut ,A controversial movie set in wartime Bosnia- has a name and a release date. "In the Land of Blood and Honey" will be released in the United States on December 23, producers said in a statement on Monday, Just in time for Oscar consideration. "The film is specific to the Bosnian war, but it is also universal," Angelina said in a statement. "I wanted to tell a story of how human relationship and behavior are deeply affected by living inside a war." Angelina, who also wrote the screenplay, last year described the then untitled movie as a love story between a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman on the eve of the 1992-95 Balkans conflict, in which 100,000 people died. But it caused controversy in Bosnia with some female victims of sexual violence objecting to details in the plot and Bosnian authorities canceling a filming permit. As a result, some scenes scheduled to be shot in Sarajevo were moved to Budapest, Hungary. Angelina, who won a supporting actress Oscar for "Girl, Interrupted", and who is a United Nations goodwill ambassador, has asked the people of Bosnia to withhold judgment until they see the completed film. "In the Land of Blood and Honey" features a local cast, and was shot in both the English and Serbo-Croat languages. Producers Graham King and Tim Headington on Monday called it a "bold new film (which) illustrates the consequences of the lack of political will to intervene in a society stricken with conflict."
