OK! Exclusive: Brad & Angelina Marriage Reports False



After much hoopla and ballyhoo on the internet Saturday night, it looks like rumors that Brad Pitt, who famously once said that he would get married again when everyone in the United States could also do so, had said “I do” to gal pal, and mother of his children, Angelina Jolie in a ceremony in New Orleans, are just that — rumors.

“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were not married in our chapel, period,” Reverend Anthony “Ambassador of Romance” Talavera, proprietor of the French Quarter Wedding Chapel in New Orleans, where the couple were rumored to have tied the knot, tells OK! exclusively. “I’ve never even met them.”

The good reverend goes on to say that one particular media outlet really wants this story to be true. “Star magazine offered me $3000 for an interview, and I turned them down,” he explains. “I would never divulge any information about any of our clients for money.

Reverend Talavera did say, however, that he is, “delighted that Brad and Angelina have chosen to live in our beautiful city, and I wish them all the happiness in the world, whatever their marital status.”

While there’s been no official denial from the Brangelina camps, when reached for comment on the rumors, Brad’s rep would only say to OK! that she had “no idea” if they were true or not.

Cover Story: Angie & Brad Expectin’ a Texan



Smithville, Texas, is a small, rural town about 29 miles southeast of Austin. And in case you haven’t heard, it’s also the latest “home” for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their growing family. The famous couple and their four children have recently set up shop there while Brad, 44, shoots his latest film, Tree of Life.

Production on the drama is expected to last for at least the next three months. And with sources telling OK! that Angie is around five to six months into her second pregnancy, it looks like the couple’s new baby could be the first Jolie-Pitt to be born on American soil.

Sources tell OK! that Brad and Angelina took great care in choosing the right home for their family. The family reportedly moved into a sprawling 270-acre ranch just outside of Smithville, where they don’t have to worry about being hounded by paparazzi or curious lookie-loos. “Several beautiful properties were offered to Brad and Angelina before they came to Texas,” a source close to the proceedings informs OK!. “But they turned them all down. They were concerned about people being able to see their home — or even their driveway — from the road.”

On Feb. 27, residents spotted “two huge semis, loaded with every toy and child-sized car and truck you could imagine” pulling up to the ranch. With no risk of being interrupted by the media, it seems the family is planning to live happily in Smithville for a quite a while, just as they did in Namibia prior to Shiloh’s 2006 birth there.

A Jolie-Pitt insider tells OK!, “Brad and Angelina love the South.They weren’t expecting to move to Texas for filming, but Angie is all for trying something new. If she could take on Iraq, a little town in Texas should be a piece of cake!”

OK! Exclusive: Angie’s Pregnancy Plan



Angelina Jolie already has everything a girl could ask for: an A-list film career, four beautiful children, and let’s not forget Brad Pitt. But, as reported in the current issue of OK!, the award winning actress, 32, is now desperate to have a second biological child. So much so, she’s even telling her people to schedule upcoming press tours around a possible pregnancy.

According to a studio insider, Angelina’s camp has told studio execs the heartbreakingly hot star “would not be available on some dates” to promote her upcoming film Wanted, due out this June. The reason? “Angelina is focusing on trying to get pregnant and to hopefully be pregnant around the time of the film’s release,” the source tells OK! exclusively.

Brangelina welcomed the birth of baby Shiloh in 2006. The couple have three other adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara.

Angelina Jolie Says She Found Focus on Her Weight Loss “Disturbing”



Angelina Jolie — who just nabbed a Screen Actors Guild nomination — admits she got too skinny this year but says she was bothered by all the negative scrutiny.

Jolie, 32 — who says she lost weight while grieving over her mother’s passing in January — opened up in the new issue of Grazia magazine.

“The thing that’s disturbing is that instead of people saying, ‘This looks like a person that’s actually dealing with something, probably from emotions,’ they say, ‘Does she fit into skinny jeans and look thin?’” Jolie said.

“I want people to understand who I am as a person is not somebody that’s trying to look thin, but just trying to work through a very difficult year,” she said. (For other stars who got too skinny, click here.)

Jolie said she got through her death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, thanks to the support of her beau Brad Pitt (they were recently named Us’ Couple of the Year).

“He is just a great friend and when my mother passed, he was so great,” she said. “He sat with me and held [my mother’s] hand. After she passed away he spent the night asking me and my brother about our mother and got us to tell funny stories about her.

“He focused on all the love and joy we were fortunate enough to have had,” Jolie said. “He was extraordinary.”

Angelina Jolie’s Thriller Beowulf Doesn’t Thrill Most Critics



Angelina Jolie’s nearly-naked scene as villain Grendel’s mother in Beowulf has already caused a stir and made the actress herself claim it made her feel “shy.” But, despite the allure of an undressed Jolie, will movie-goers shy away this weekend from this 3-D thriller based on a millenium-old epic?

Reviews of the movie offer a resounding … maybe, maybe not.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Beowulf “may raise the eyebrows of English Lit professors but will quicken the pulse of everyone else.” Variety, on the other hand, calls the flick, “sometimes stirring but ultimately soulless” and the AP opines, “Unless you’re a fantasy geek…it’s hard to take all this swordplay and dragon slaying seriously.”

The only thing that everyone can agree on? Jolie has a heck of an entrance.

“Angelina Jolie…makes a truly show-stopping entrance, her nude, gold-smeared body stalking into the frame on stiletto heels,” Variety’s reviewer writes.

And the New York Times jokes about Jolie’s 3-D debut, “You could poke your eye out with one of those things!”

Maybe that’s why Movies.com critic Dave White calls Beowulf one of “the most headache-inducing movies of the year.”

Still, our favorite take on Jolie’s character has to be the AP’s: “If you had magical powers, wouldn’t you turn yourself into naked Angelina Jolie?”

But before you get too excited, the New York Post warns, “Angelina Jolie’s role as a demon is nearly as brief as her costume.”

Angelina Snaps When Asked About Competing Aniston W Mag Cover



Angelina is so over all those Jennifer Aniston comparisons.

The pair had avoided being pitted against each other for some time — that is, until November’s W magazine hit stands. Editors had released nine versions of the issue — including one of Jolie, 32, as the cover girl and another of Aniston, 38.

“Why would I comment on that?” Jolie snapped when asked about it at a Beverly Hills press conference for her upcoming flick Beowulf Saturday. “That matters because….”

(Jolie had previously told Vogue that she is open to meeting Aniston. “That would be her decision, and I would welcome it.”)

Jolie was less guarded when it came to revealing her Thanksgiving plans with beau Brad Pitt and their four children on Good Morning America November 5.

Her fixings this year?

“Everything, but I’m not much of a cook, so we’ll see what happens,” she said. “We all chip in, but I… don’t think anybody in my family wants me to handle Thanksgiving dinner.”

With her culturally diverse brood, she says, it’s almost always a holiday at the Jolie-Pitt house.

“We celebrate Moon Festival for my boys, who are from Asia, and Kwanzaa and things like that,” she said, “so we certainly try to celebrate as many of those as we can and bring in all cultures.”

Brangelina’s Pricey NYC Pad



The globe-trotting Jolie-Pitt clan are enjoying their stay in New York City so much, they’re willing to pay top dollar to extend their stay. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have thrown down almost $100,000 a month for a super-ritzy pad at the Waldorf Astoria Towers, reports the New York Post.

The pair, plus their four children, have already begun living in the newly renovated 6,000-square-foot fully-furnished apartment, which boosts six rooms, six bathrooms and a huge kitchen.

“It’s actually grander than the [Towers’] Presidential Suite,” one broker told the Post. Jolie and Pitt like the location because it’s close to the both the United Nations, where Jolie works as a Goodwill Ambassador, and it’s near their eldest son Maddox’s swanky private school.

Residency at Waldorf Astoria Towers also provides everything from room service to magic shows once a week for the kids.

“Everything you ever need is provided, including a tailor,” one source snitched to the Post. “All you literally need to bring is your toothbrush. And they’ll even provide one of those if you forget yours.”

Sure sounds like home to us!

Angelina Jolie Still Face of St. John



Despite reports that Angelina Jolie is out as the face of St. John, a source at the company tells Usmagazine.com that the mother of four is still the line’s spokesmodel.

“St. John has not made any decisions regarding upcoming campaigns,” the source tells Us. “Angelina is starring in our current ads and just shot for Spring so she definitely still is our face.”

Back when Jolie, 32, signed with St. John in September 2005, the company’s chief executive officer, Richard Cohen, had nothing but praise for the actress.

“Angelina Jolie embodies so many qualities of what St. John represents,” said Cohen. “She is strong, independent and dynamic. She’s a mother, actress and a philanthropist.”

At the time, Jolie released a statement saying that she was eager to partner with the clothing line. “I am a working mother who has set goals to accomplish a lot in this world,” she said. “I want my wardrobe to be beautiful, sexy and comfortable — all at the same time. St. John is all of those things.”

Maddox’s School Tells Parents: Stop Taking Pictures of Brangelina



One would think that parents at Maddox Jolie-Pitt’s new school, Lycee Francais de New York, would be upset that his famous family is disrupting their schedules. But it turns out it’s the Jolie-Pitts who are being inconvenienced, by Lycee Francais parents who can’t help but ask Brangelina for autographs.

The New York Observer reports that the Lycee’s director of operations, Dan Cooke, had to ask parents to leave Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie alone. He wrote in a letter, “Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition. Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren) I must ask for everyone to please respect the family’s privacy and discontinue these practices.”

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have made concerted efforts to ensure that the chaos that surrounds them is kept to a minimum when dropping son Maddox, 5, off for classes. Cooke explains in his letter:

“I’m sure you are aware the school has received much media attention recently during the arrival and dismissal times because of the presence of celebrities Ms. Angelina Jolie and/or Mr. Brad Pitt. I want to make you aware that before the first day of school I met with their security team to discuss the best manner in which for them to drop off and pick up their son. Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families.”

A source tells the Observer that the constant attention of the paparazzi (and eager parents) has already had an effect on adopted son Maddox. The normally happy Mad got scared and started to cry when his kindergarten class was asked to bring in a picture of themselves.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s High-Powered Day in N.Y.C.



Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are making the most of their time in New York: The high-wattage couple have packed their schedules for Wednesday, meeting with diplomatic and financial leaders to promote various causes.

The first stop of the day… The Clinton Global Initiative, where Pitt asked for support for his Make It Right program. He’s partnering with billionaire Steve Bing on the project, which plans to build 150 affordable – and environmentally sustainable – homes in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. Pitt and Bing have each promised to match donations pledged during the initiative up to $5 million.

In the afternoon… Jolie is slated to attend a press conference with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guteres, to talk about a new campaign, Nine Million, aimed at improving education for refugee children around the world.

Then in the evening… Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. refugee agency, is scheduled to speak at a session focused on education for children in war-torn areas such as Darfur and Iraq.

The busy day of high-powered goodwill work is hardly unusual – Pitt is already working with Global Green to create environmentally friendly housing in New Orleans, while Jolie has done extensive work in her role at the United Nations.

In was also announced Tuesday that Jolie would meet with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in New York to discuss global diplomacy.

And if that’s not enough, Pitt’s doing a little acting, too: He’s filming Burn After Reading, which costars his pal George Clooney.
