Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt comes to Angelina Jolie’s defense over a recent New York Times article that says she is a master at controlling the press.

“It sounded to me like the story made Angie out to be manipulative in some way,” he says. “She is savvy.”

He continues, “I get defensive. [They're] talking about not only the woman I love, but one of the people on this planet who I have the greatest respect for. I think she’s as honorable as anyone I’ve ever met.”

Jennifer Aniston reportedly met ex-husband Brad Pitt for dinner. The former couple – who finalised their divorce in 2005 after three years of marriage – are said to have had a business dinner in Toronto, Canada, last week, where they are both appearing at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The Sun said that the couple bumped into each other in the lobby of a Canadian hotel.

“Her people are checking and double checking her schedule to make sure she doesn’t go within a mile of Brad, let alone bump into him.” a source said.

The UK tabloid quoted a source as saying: “Brad is staying at the Hyatt and Jen went there for dinner. She and two of her pals had a drink afterwards and they joined Brad and chatted amicably for a bit.”

Djalili said he gave Pitt marriage advice when they co-starred in 2000 movie Spy Game. “I did a scene with him in the back of a taxi for a movie called Spy Game and it was only a few days after he had married Jennifer,” the Daily Express quoted Djalili, as saying. “I chatted for hours giving him advice about the three stages of marriage. Stage one is perfection or blind love. Stage two is the difficult stage because you will start to despise everything about her. But then if you can deal with that baggage you can possibly get to stage three accept the baggage and move into a harmonious marriage. He said ‘Thanks Omid, I love that you have given me a framework for my marriage,’” he added.

However, Djalili revealed that after six weeks Pitt told him that all was not fine between him and Aniston. “After six weeks he came up to me and said ‘I’m definitely in stage two, Omid!’ I probably made it (their marriage) go up in flames!”, he said.

The London-born comedian also confessed that he still feels guilt over the break-up of the couple. “I’d already messed up one Brad Pitt marriage,” he said.

Angelina claimed the prestigious title because of her “pneumatic figure, feline eyes and lips that could have been stung by several hives of bees”.

She narrowly beat Natalie Portman, who finished in second position after “making baldness sexy” in ‘V for Vendetta’ and setting men’s pulses racing with her raunchy pole dancing scene in ‘Closer’.

James Bond actor Daniel Craig – who wowed women in ‘Casino Royale’ when he emerged from the ocean in a pair of tight-fitting blue swimming trunks – came third, while ‘Fantastic Four’ beauty Jessica Alba finished fourth.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star Johnny Depp rounded off the top five.

Hollywood star Brad Pitt has vowed never to shed his clothes for a role again, because he doesn’t want to embarrass his kids.

The actor, 43, shot to fame when he bared all in the 1991 film “Thelma and Louise,” but now insists he won’t strip off for the sake of his children.

He tells the BBC, “I don’t want to be embarrassed when my kids get old enough to see my films. I can’t see any more nude scenes.”

Pitt has four children with his partner Angelina Jolie, Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 17 months.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt still keep their romance alive despite having four children to care for. The couple have admitted it is hard to find alone time, but the pair found time in London for each other when they went shopping for sex toys.

The couple reportedly went shopping at the classy sex store ‘Coco De Mer.’ Sources say the couple spent an hour in the store and came out with a bag full of purchases.

“Brad and Angelina ordered a car to take them directly to the sex shop. It wasn’t as if they were walking around and just bumped into it,” said a source. “They specifically asked to go there.”

Actress Bai Ling, who worked with Jolie on two projects — Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Jolie’s documentary A Place in Time says that the two shared a “special attraction” during filming.

“I felt this energy between us, when we look at each other there’s an energy, an attraction,” Ling told Us Weekly at our Hot Hollywood party on September 26. “Her eyes transfer a sexual energy to me that makes her irresistible.”

Ling said that Jolie, 32, made her a promise while on the set of Sky Captain. She recalled: “Angelina said, ‘Next time we’ll play lovers.’”

So did the twosome get physical off-camera?

“We could have hooked up, but it just wasn’t the right time or place. But she told me, “My heart’s open to you.’”

Ling continued: “She is like me. She is totally open sexually.”

The China native said that the last time she saw Jolie was at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.

She added: “I’ve always thought Brad [Pitt] was the sexiest man on the planet. So now that Brad and Angelina are together, now maybe I could experience both at the same time!”

Happy dreaming Bai…

Pitt and Jolie, with children in tow, were in Venice to talk about his film on Western outlaw Jesse James. The movie is competing for the top Golden Lion award at the city’s film festival.

Pitt and Jolie already have four children including a 15-month-old girl, Shiloh, born to the couple. Jolie has also adopted three children close in age from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.

Asked by Italian state TV whether they were ready for a fifth, Pitt replied: “Yeah we’re ready.”

He did not indicate whether they planned another biological child or if they would adopt.

Earlier on Sunday, Pitt told a news conference fatherhood was fun and good for his work, though he’s not getting much sleep.

“It’s the most fun I’ve ever had and also the biggest pain … I’ve ever experienced,” he said when asked what it was like to become a family with four children in a short space of time. “I love it and can’t recommend it any more highly — although sleep is nonexistent.”

Having four small children “makes me much more efficient because when I work, I really have to focus. I know I’ve less time to get things done. Actually, I’m quite pleased by it,” said Pitt.

“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” stars Pitt, Casey Affleck and Sam Shepherd, and was directed by Andrew Dominik. Pitt described it as “more a gangster film than a Western.”

And now he wants New York’s tycoons to help fund the next stage of his charity push.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are on the verge of splitting up after three years together, say reports.

The couple had hoped a recent holiday to France would save their relationship, but they reportedly spent their time squabbling, with Jolie at one point throwing a glass of wine over her partner.

A source told Life&Style magazine: “Angie was cursing him and ended up throwing a glass of wine in his face. Brad was absolutely disgusted by her behaviour.

“Brad’s had enough of doing what Angie wants to do and following her around the globe”

The Ocean’s Eleven actor’s friendship with his ex Jenifer Aniston and his dislike for Jolie’s bossy nature are supposedly at the root of their troubles.

A friend told InTouch: “They aren’t making each other happy. But they want to put on a show of togetherness for the children. Their romance has fallen apart. They’ve turned into two people staying together for the sake of their kids.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt already have four young children – but they may not be planning to stop there.

On Thursday’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart wondered how many kids Jolie wanted in all, asking: “How high we going, you think?”

Replied Jolie: “It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14.” The audience howled and Jolie laughed, and Stewart said, “Wow, I’ll tell you this: I admire that, because two is kicking my ass.”

Jolie quipped: “Yeah, I understand that. Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, ‘Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’ “

The actress, 32, has been in New York City promoting her and Pitt’s new movie A Mighty Heart, which premiered Wednesday.

Stewart asked Jolie about a FOX News story claiming that journalists at a junket on Wednesday had been asked to sign a contract before talking to her requiring that they not ask about her personal life – a common request at press events.

“There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, ‘Don’t get into personal questions, focus on the movie,’ and things like that,” Jolie explained. “It was from my representative trying to be protective of me, but it was excessive and I wouldn’t have put it out there.”

On Thursday, Jolie’s lawyer, Robert Offer, issued a mea culpa, telling The New York Times the document was the fault of a “bone-headed, overzealous lawyer” – himself – and that Jolie hadn’t been aware of it.

“This was my creating something to protect her from the press’s talking about personal matters, a document that would limit discussion to the film,” he said. “But it was drafted overly broadly. It was well intended, but I understand how it was received.”

Also on Thursday, Jolie appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live, where she described raising the latest addition to her family, 3-year-old Pax Thien, whom she adopted from Vietnam in March (he joined Maddox, 5; Zahara, 2; and Shiloh, 1). “He’s wild. He’s beautiful and wild,” she said.

“He had no freedoms for three and a half years. … He lived in the same place on the same cot along with 20 other cots and did things at the exact same time and had no chance to have an opinion himself or do – he lived a very structured life. But he’s also suddenly very free.”

She explained that her new son’s name was suggested by her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, before her death from ovarian cancer in January. “My mom wrote a list of names when we were going to have Shiloh,” said Jolie. “One of the names that she suggested was Pax because it meant peace. [But] he’s anything but at the moment.”
