Life & Style has a cover story that seems like it features an exclusive sit-down interview with Brad and Angelina that may include their genuine relationship tips for how to keep the fire burning with six kids and countless responsibilities. The title reads: “Exclusive: Brad and Angelina Speak Out ‘How We Make It Work!’”
The interview is not quite the relationship guide they billed it as and is pulled from a brief interview they gave on the red carpet at the Changeling premiere fleshed out with other details. Props to Life & Style for coming up with a smart way to sell magazines. They got me to buy it and it’s not a tabloid I read every week. The unique quotes are below and the rest of the article is filler about how they looked at the premiere and the things the family did in NY:
Angelina took some time [at the Changeling premiere] to speak exclusively to Life & Style about life with six kids and how she got her body back. Asked about her amazing slim-down, she joked that “good clothes” were the secret. Of course, a dress can only do so much. “I spend a lot of time running around after the kids,” Angie told Life & Style “That certainly helps. And I’m breast-feeding, which also helps. I have an exercise routine, but I mostly just run around after the kids!”…
“The twins are wonderful,” Angelina tells Life & Style. “They have a really special bond. The other kids are really fascinated by them - -I think they feel older now that there are new babies around. They try to help, but they’re all still quite young, so they can only do so much.”
Still, it’s cute watching them try. “The other kids fawn over the twins,” Brad tells Life & Style. “It’s great.”
Ange while life is certainly chaotic right now, it’s not overwhelming them. During their whirlwind weekend in NYC, Angelina and Brad offered a peek at how they manage to balance their careers and children while still finding room for romance.
“When you have your priorities set, you just make the time,” Angie said.
Didn’t US Weekly say that Angelina didn’t exercise to lose weight? She told Life & Style that she does, although she tried to downplay it.
I don’t want to knock Life & Style because it must be hard to stand there for hours and do all that preparation only to get a few quotes. We had a taste of it a couple weeks ago waiting for Brad at the Burn After Reading premiere when it turned out he was already in NY.
The only clue Brad and Angelina give about their relationship and “how they make it work” though is that Angelina said “you just make the time.” Of course Life & Style is going to bill it as a unique interview and it is, it’s just not the intimate portrait of their home life I was hoping for. For that you’ll have to read one of the many other interviews they’re doing this week.
Oh and the “We have a bath together every night” quote on the cover is from The Mirror, and I doubt it’s even new. It sounds like something she said last year to Marie Claire and that’s why I didn’t report it earlier this week.

1000 monkeys at 1000 typewriters could write a better tabloid.
Sidenote: They’re happy, suck it haters.

Kaiser & Dante Amen
Making the time is hard enough for the average couple with kids. They seem to have it together and what they don’t will come with time. They both seem committed to making it work. That’s is what’s important.
Love is a wonderful thing isn’t it? -
It is. I just got engaged!
-
Congratulations Anni!!
-
Ditto, yeah for Anni
Have you set a date yet? -
Thanks guys. No, no date set yet. Things are different in Germany when it comes to marriage. My parents were engaged for four years until they married. But we do plan for next year.
-
That’s called FALSE ADVERTISING, Life & Style. They’re as bad as The Enquirer.
-
Congrats Anni! I’m getting married in 21 days!
-
We will be expecting our invites in the mail Anni
HA Kitchen; Love your site. Thanks for the link. LMAO with the Treadmill Kitties
Edit; Bodhi, I bet your wedding will be beautiful and the reception a blast!
-
Wow bodhi! Congrats to you too! Love is in the air, huh?
My fiance just came home from volleyball training and he gave me two incredibly beautiful, long stemmed red roses…oh man…i´m turning into one of those romatic persons…
-
Aw, how sweet! I don’t think mine has ever bought flowers in his life, but he did let me keep caring for the yard kitty when the neighbors moved out
-
He gives me flowers every now and then…he calles it “dragon-food” and right he is. flowers smooth a lot of things over
-
Bodhi, 21 days!! Any wedding jitters yet? Not that I am trying to get you nervous or anything like that.
Today is really quiet at work, but my boss is sitting like two desks away from me. So what am I doing, to appear that i am hard at work? I have a file open infront of me shuffling papers, while I am posting.
Smart eh?
-
pamela it’s all about the art of the alt-tab. Have a spreadsheet in the background to switch to.
Congratulations Anni! That’s so cute, “dragon food”
-
Congrats Anni, Congrats Bodhi!
Celebitchy - I have mastered the art of the alt-tab. Sometimes my co-workers laugh when they walk into my cube and see me quickly switching to my spreadsheets.
-
Congrats, Anni!
-
Thanks guys. I never thought i would get married, with the illness and all…but why not. Nothing will stop me from getting all dressed up and throwing the bouquet and all!
-
CB, will take that into consideration.
-
Congrats Anni!!!!
And ooooh you must be getting busy now Bodhi! You’re probably even dreaming about all the things you have to do and are in perpetual déja vu But let’s hope that when you and Mr. Anni are on the cover of Life&Style they don’t photoshop you to look like waxworks!
-
Anni, I am so pleased for you! If anyone deserves this happiness, it’s you.
You can’t let the illness stop you - what if you beat it, and then you’d sat there waiting for it to beat you, and missed out on living?
We will be expecting a link to a page full of photos of the wedding (since traveling to Germany to attend in person is not in my budget).

*throwing rice at Anni*
Hurray! Huzzah! Hokem Pokem!
We might have to break out the cocktails, old-school, girls…
-
* Lifting my champane glass*
to Anni & Bodhi, two kick ass BADettes. -
@ dragon-food!
I’m not really nervous about anything, I just want it to get here al-freaking-ready! We are both really excited to see all of the out of town family too!
Edit: Woot woot! thanks gals!
-
I say Margaritas for all! Tequila Sunrise anyone? *cracks open the champagne*
I shall see if i can arrange a website with pics *g* Just imagine you´re all invited!
And right Syko. I won´t let life pass by. That would be an utter waste of the days left.
-
Now, I have a fresh bottle of Riga Black Balsam and I think I’ve drunk enough of the stuff over the past week to whip up a nice batch of Latvian Hot BlackCurrant. It will literally cure all ails!
Alternatively, I’ve got some absinthe (well absinthe-lite, 60% proof
)
-
…And I’ve got cheap Scotch. Huzzah!
*lifting glass to Bodhi & Anni*
May you girls be as happy as The Brange!
-
Yay marriage! This makes me want to renew my vows. Only been 3 years though.. ha.
I’m sorry I didn’t know you are ill.I love the exclusive and they always have vague quotes inside. Celeb rags recycle stories but lots of magazines do. Every womans mag has the same topics repositioned and reworded haha. I like the joint bath thing, to die for sweet.
-
Mairead, the Hot Black Currant sounds yummy, pass one over here.
Anni & Bodhi; Remember to have fun on your wedding day, it goes by in a flash
If I were single I’d kick and claw for the bouquet tossing
-
I caught the bouquet at my brother´s wedding last year…maybe there IS something to that!
-
Bye guys, it was so much fun today. I am leaving for home now,(finally did some work).
Will try to catch up tomorrow. If not, a wonderful weekend to all, even the haters.
