Angelina Jolie has a new interview with MTV news, during which she repeats an earlier claim about how she enjoys shooting and isn’t afraid to protect her family with firearms. The pregnant mother of four is promoting her action film with James McAvoy, Wanted, in which she play an assassin. It’s out in the US and the UK on June 27.

Angelina jokes that she’d prefer to “roll around” with her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, instead of her co-star McAvoy when she’s asked specifically about it. She talks about her tattoos and her character’s tattoos in the film, some of which are for her children. She says she’ll continue to get tattoos in real life too.

Who’s better to roll around with: McAvoy or Pitt?

“Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general,” she tells MTV News in a new interview.

When told that “there is no one sexier with a gun than Angelina Jolie,” the actress, 33, replied, “Wow. I’ll take it. I like it.”

What’s so sexy about gunplay?

“I mean, obviously, there’s a part of me that takes the world of violence and death very seriously,” she said. “However, when it comes to protection or when it comes to just the skill of shooting … I’ve gone to the range with sniper rifles and things like that. Brad and I both like it a lot. That is something we have in common.”

In the film, she shows off some new tattoos — but she said not all of them are real. (See other celeb tattoos.)

“We added a bunch. I had ‘toil’ and ‘tears’ based on [Winston] Churchill’s speech,” she said. “I had binary codes that are actually my kids’ initials.”

(As for her real ink, she said, “I have ’strength of will’ in four different languages. ‘Know your rights’ in different languages. It’s things like that. Very few people pick up on it, but it was [something I did] for me.”)

Does Jolie — who is generating Oscar buzz for Changeling — see more action films in her future?

“I think there’s always going to be a side of me … you know, as long as I can,” she said. “Harrison [Ford] is doing it, and he’s doing it well. It looks like I’ve got some more time.”

Making movies, she added, is “not the thing you love the most. I love being a mom and I do love traveling and the work I get to do with children in the field and with refugees.

“Brad and I take turns working,” she went on. “So instead of it being, ‘I get to work next,’ it’s, ‘You have to work next, because it’s your turn. I’m staying home with the kids.’”

On her year off
She said that she’s not working as much as it seems, because Kung Fu Panda took four days to shoot and she brought Maddox with her. She said they would sit on the floor and “you can come in your pajamas” so it’s “not really hard work.” Angelina noted that it took four months to shoot both Wanted and The Changeling and “it’s not that much in a year.”

She said that working isn’t “the thing you love the most,” and that “I love being a mom, and I do love traveling, and I love the work I get to do with children in the field, and with refugees, so, Brad and I are often… We take turns working, so instead of it being ‘I get to work next,’ it’s ‘You have to work next… it’s your turn. I’m staying home with the kids.’”

When asked about “Atlas Shrugged,” she said that’s one of those “Once in a lifetime films,” that she will most likely do at some point but that “nobody was attached to direct.” She said she’s not sure what is happening with a sequel to “Sin City,” but expressed admiration for the director.

Angelina chose to do Wanted because she was looking for a “physical film” after all the emotional films she was involved with, like Mighty Heart, and The Changeling, and after losing someone close to her. She doesn’t say it was her mom, but she’s obviously talking about her.

As we said before in our coverage of her Entertainment Weekly interview, Angelina will tell you about her life. She may also tell you about her plans, and if they don’t work out and you call her on it, she’ll explain herself without getting defensive.

There could be an off screen rivalry between Jennifer Aniston, 39, and her co-star Jennifer Connelly, 37, in the upcoming film He’s Just not That Into You. Aniston is said to have demanded that Connelly not appear with her in a cast photo for the cover of Marie Claire. Only Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin could be shown with Aniston according to her stipulations, and she was to be the focus of the shoot. It’s unknown why Aniston and Connelly aren’t getting along, but they’re said to have acted cold to each other on set:

Connelly… will not be included in an upcoming cover shoot for Marie Claire magazine that will feature Aniston… and her other co-stars from the October comedy, Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin. “Word is, Aniston threatened to pull out if Jennifer was part of the cover,” says an insider familiar with the movie’s shoot. “It was all about getting Jennifer Aniston front and center and looking as sexy as possible.”

So what’s Jen’s beef with [Connelly]? While Aniston’s rep denies that there’s any discord between the actresses, they just didn’t hit it off, says the insider: “There was no camaraderie between those two whatsoever. They didn’t seem like friends in the slightest.”

[From Life & Style, print edition, June 23, 2008]

I wonder what happened between Connelly and Aniston if this is true. Maybe Aniston realizes that Oscar-winning actress Connelly could potentially eclipse her as the film’s star if given a chance. IMDB has the plot containing a “series of interconnecting story arcs” so it’s possible that they get as much screen time.

There’s also a lot of talk about another one of Aniston’s potential rivalries. Her ex husband’s new partner, Angelina Jolie, has her film The Changeling out on October 24, which also when He’s Just Not That Into You first hits theaters. Since one film is a romantic comedy, and the other is a drama there doesn’t seem to be much competition. Aniston’s film is likely to do better just because of the subject matter and format.

Angelina Jolie’s second husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton, 52, joked during a promotional appearance at a Barnes and Noble to promote the second CD by his band, The Boxmasters, that the pregnant A-list actress will come back to him any day now. He was likely asked about her, and came up with this delusional response:

Thornton said, “She’s just going through a high school phase. You know dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time. Who knows if I’ll be there when she’s ready to come to her senses though.” Thornton added that they all come back, but he’s not a fan of repeats.

[From Defamer]

Of course Billy Bob was joking. He was said to have walked out on Angelina shortly after she adopted then-baby Maddox from Cambodia. There were rumors that he tried to reconcile with her afterwards but that she wasn’t having it and wouldn’t take his calls.

Angelina was Billy Bob’s fifth and most recent wife. She had nothing but good things to say about him in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. She said “I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time. I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.” There’s little chance of a reconciliation, and the guy probably feels regret having to see her at the checkout counter nearly every week since they split up in 2003. Thornton has a nearly three year old daughter, Bella, with his girlfriend Connie Angland and three older children from his first and fourth wives.

Billy Bob Thornton is shown singing with The Boxmasters at SXSW on 3/13/08, thanks to Splash News.

Here’s Billy Bob and the Boxmasters singing “Original Messed Up Kid.” They’re not bad.

A couple weeks ago Angelina Jolie told the Daily Mail that she keeps guns in the house and that she would shoot anyone who tried to hurt her family. It’s a real concern for her as someone with small children who’s had a past break in and is followed by paparazzi wherever she goes. I chose not to cover that story, though, because a lot of you have expressed Angelina burnout and it really doesn’t matter what we say about her, or even if we’re writing about someone else - she incites a strange kind of a fanaticism among some who will rant about her on one hand while saying they don’t want to read anything about her. With a heated subject like guns it would have been worse.

There’s little avoiding her most recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, though. It’s so candid and open I was shaking my head in disbelief while I was reading it. She gets asked about the most controversial topics in her well-documented life and she answers without mincing words or using a long explanation that she’s not going to answer, as a lot of celebrities do to protect their privacy. She talks about her past, her family, and her relationship with Brad.

Angelina says that when people express strong dislike or admiration for her she takes it as a sign that she’s making the right decisions in life. There’s nothing she’s said in an interview that she regrets, and she says that she’s shared her past so that she can help others going through the same thing.

In many ways you’re a very polarizing figure. People either worship you or they can’t stand you. Have you thought about why that is?
I’d like to think it’s because I’m not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that’s what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.

Some people can’t reconcile your old persona, where you talked about knives and cutting, with your more recent identity as a mother and activist.
But again, it’s not that different. The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don’t see the point of doing an interview unless you’re going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I’m extremely human and have done some dark things, I don’t think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I’d like to think it’s the nice thing to do.

Is there anything you’ve said that you wish you hadn’t? Like all that business about wearing the vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around your neck when you two were married?
No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time. I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.

[From Entertainment Weekly]

Angelina also talked about her relationship with Brad, pregnancy sex, and how they spend time with their children:

You don’t think you’re kind?
I kind of like to debate. I like to get into fights.

Would you say you’re drawn to extremes?
I think so, yeah. We joke about that at home a lot, because we walk in different worlds together, Brad and I. We joke about the extremes of the things we’ll do.

Like what?
Well, certain things are private! But there’s a side of us that’s so mommy-daddy and then there’s a side of us that’s…very man and woman. I’ll leave it at that. We both like to ride motorcycles, we both like to fly planes, that’s the spirited side of us. Then the other side of us is very focused on silly mommy-daddy things. So I guess that’s extremes, but I just think of that as balance.

What would you say are the best and worst things about being pregnant?
t’s all just so nice. You just really can’t complain about anything as long as you know the babies are looking healthy. The only thing that’s hard for me now is with twins and having four kids, there’s a lot of the doctor saying ”Stop picking them up as much.” But we’ve worked out a system where Brad just lifts them to me every time they want to come up. I just don’t bend down. I’ll scream, ”Honey!” and he’ll come running and lift them up. Or they climb on chairs, so it’s not as big of a lift. So we’re trying to follow doctor’s orders, but I’m bending them a tiny bit.

I’ve heard people say it’s bad for the sex life.
No, I think it’s quite the opposite. It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.

Pretty soon you’ll have six kids all under the age of 8. Have you thought about how you’re physically going to be able to handle that?
Well, we weren’t expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge. We really don’t know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can. The only thing for us when a new child comes home is just balancing the others. Our real focus now is: How do we make sure that the babies’ coming is not upsetting to other kids and makes them feel included. They’re old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We’re trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing. But the hard thing is every single day trying to find time for each of them privately. ‘Cause that’s our big thing. With our eldest, we have that last half an hour at night; Shiloh tends to be the first up in the morning. Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they’re at.

And Angelina revealed that Brad Pitt’s new lower back tattoo is just something she first drew on his back while they were in Davos at the World Economic Forum and that he had it made into a tattoo.

What’s the deal with Brad’s new tattoo?
I drew that. We went to Davos. It’s not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn’t have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.

So it’s not permanent?
It is. But I was just sketching.

On him?
On him, yeah.

And you thought, ”Let’s make it a tattoo”?
He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.

So it doesn’t mean anything per se.
I mean, it’s meaningful in that it’s us making angles and shapes out of each other’s body, that kind of a thing.

Angelina will answer questions openly, and if you love or hate her for it, it doesn’t really matter to her. She’s still living her life and she’ll tell you about it.

Angelina Jolie is hoping to have a natural delivery for the upcoming birth of her twins. According to an “insider” (gotta love those anonymous, chatty insiders) Angelina was planning on a natural birth with 2-year-old daughter Shiloh and was disappointed when she had to have a C-section instead. This time Angie’s really hoping to go the natural route – twice.

Amid swirling reports that Angelina Jolie is on bed-rest and close to giving birth — so close, that the French media jumped the gun and announced the actress had already delivered her twins last week — the heavily pregnant actress has begun telling friends that she hopes to give birth naturally to her twin girls.

“She prepared for a natural child birth for Shiloh and was very disappointed when her doctors told her she would have to undergo a Cesarean section,” a source close to Angelina tells OK!. “She is praying everything will go her way and she will be able to enjoy a natural birth.”

[From OK! Magazine]

According to OK! Brad and Angie are quasi-fanatical about the safety of their babies. Luckily they don’t sound like they’re J-Lo crazy, and aren’t requiring surgical masks and hand sanitizer dispensers be installed around their home. But they do have a plethora of security, along with a midwife and two private nurses. The source also says there’s no way Angelina will be able to go full term with the babies.

The most important thing to Angie, however is to protect her babies. The actress and her partner Brad Pitt are taking every pre-caution to ensure a safe delivery, reserving a private birthing room at Le Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace in Monaco, and hiring a midwife and two French nurses who are currently staying with her at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s compound in St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.

“Whether Angelina experiences natural childbirth or has a scheduled C-section, she will not go to full term with the twins,” the source says. “She’s been told to expect the babies early, and that was the reason she and Brad went early to France — so they would be ready for their babies whenever they decide to make their appearance.”

[From OK! Magazine]

It sounds like they’re putting in the expected amount of planning for massive celebrity babies. Twins seem to be all the rage right now. Julia Robert, Jennifer Lopez, and now Angelina. I bet she ordered them that way; gotta stay trendy.

Here’s Angelina at the “Kung Fu Panda” Photocall in Cannes on May 15th. Images thanks to PR Photos.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are about to release their latest production, their twins, into the world. Like every expectant mother they have things to plan – what hospital will my baby be born at? Breastfeed or bottle feed? Which magazine will buy the pictures for the most cash?

The bidding for the Brangelina twins pics has reached a whopping $15 million — and will probably go a lot higher.

Our magazine spies tell us only PEOPLE and OK! are left standing in the bidding war. One spy says the pics are so valuable they would “print blank pages” the rest of year to get them.

Can a weekly mag actually recoup all that cash? Probably not, but it doesn’t matter. The prestige is what counts.

No deal has been inked yet. Brad’s peeps didn’t return our calls. A PEOPLE rep says, “We’d love to see the photos in PEOPLE. We wish the family well” OK!’s rep refused to address a dollar figure, but admits they’d be “foolish” not to make a play for the photos.

We’re told the $$$$ Brad and Angie get will go to charity.

TMZ

$15 million dollars is going to be wonderful for the charity it will go to, but that is a lot of money for pictures of two little babies. Particularly when babies just look like babies, they aren’t really very interesting. Jennifer Lopez was paid $4-6 million for her twins by People, the same magazine that bought Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s picture for $4.1 million, which is the most expensive picture of a single child to date.

The bidding for the pictures got very heated following the innacurate reports that Angelina had given birth at the weekend. If the price is already around $15 million, by August these pictures could give several charities a financial boost.

I don’t believe those babies are due as late as August, but if they are, I’m feeling really sorry for Angelina Jolie. Sure, pregnancy might make you feel sexy, but she is just enormous for someone around the seven month mark, even taking into account that those are twins.

At the end of March the price of the pictures was put around $10 million, so maybe the price really has reached $15 million.

Despite all the half-baked reports that Angelina Jolie had her twins over the weekend, including a somewhat-convincing story from “The Insider” television show that claimed to have confirmed the news along with the supposed twins’ names, People Magazine reports that it’s not true. They say that a rep for Angelina (although she doesn’t have a rep but maybe it’s someone else), confirmed that she’s still pregnant and resting at home. That would be the newly-leased 1,000 acre estate in the South of France that she and Brad are thought to have moved into at this point.

As for Angelina’s home life, there may not be photos of her family for some time, but she provided plenty of details in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. She says they have a bunch of women who help them with the children but that no one stays overnight so far. I wonder how they manage that with all the places they travel. As for her pregnancy, Angelina claims that it makes her feel “like a woman” and that her partner, Brad Pitt, finds it sexy when she’s knocked up:

On being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

On her international family:
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh — because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”

On Shiloh’s birth:
“We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

On nannies:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher — wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Belgium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”

On raising her children:
“Artists raise their kids differently. We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

Angelina has overshared in the past, but in this recent interview it sounds like she’s letting us into her life without revealing too many personal details. The sexy pregnant thing I could have done without, but it’s not like it’s news. She looks hotter pregnant because she has some much-needed meat on her bones. The Vanity Fair cover just emphasizes that and I hope she doesn’t lose the weight too fast after she has the babies. Maybe she is due in late August after all.

OK! Magazine is reporting a rumor that Angelina Jolie had her twins over the weekend in the Aix-en-Provence region of France, which would be near Brad and Angelina’s newly leased $60 or $70 million estate. (Depending on which reports you believe.)

OK! says we should take this with a grain of salt, and that it’s just an unsubstantiated rumor for now. The details are pretty sketchy:

There may be nothing more than wishful thinking to reports coming out of France this morning that Angelina Jolie, who was due to give birth to twins some time in the next three to four weeks, has indeed already delivered her fifth and sixth children.

According to rumors, the Oscar-winner gave birth on Sunday in a Catholic clinic in the Aix-En-Provence region of France. No further details are forthcoming at this moment.

[From OK! Magazine]

OK! reminds us of the rumor that Brad and Angelina were married in the French Quarter of New Orleans in March. It turned out that the wedding was for a couple from New Orleans’ elite and that all it took was a few blocked roads and an expensive wedding for the story to get started. Maybe there’s a wealthy French woman or even another celebrity who arranged to have secrecy surrounding her birth and it’s not Angelina at all.

Angelina has said that she will disappear for a couple months after her twins are born. Dustin Hoffman leaked the news that she was due August 19, but that could have been a cleverly arranged setup by Brad and Angelina to ensure that they have time alone after the birth. It’s hard to tell how far along she is, especially if she’s having twins.

Update: D-Listed is reporting that Angelina named the twins Isla Marcheline Jolie-Pitt and Amelie Jane Jolie-Pitt.

Update 2: The Insider claims to have a source that confirms that Angelina had her twins and that those are indeed the names. Congratulations to the happy family if all this is true.

Update 3: People has an exclusive that Angelina didn’t have her babies, and since they’re at the top in the gossip hierarchy I think I’ll believe their version.
