Lana Del Rey on her future: ‘I want to become a sort of Angelina Jolie’

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey covers the February issue of Madame Figaro magazine, and she’s been styled as a snake skin- and fur-wearing child of the 1960s. The look here is rather severe with Lana’s new dark hair hanging limply around her face, which is filled and photoshopped into oblivion. Lana has had a pretty big past year though — she’s appeared in an H&M campaign/homage to David Lynch, been named GQ UK’s woman of the year, appeared on the cover of Vogue UK, and possibly hooked up with her childhood crush, Axl Rose — so her fans will probably eat this photoshoot up anyway. In the interview, Lana and her growing ego talk a bit about how she’d love to be like Angelina Jolie, which leads to an obvious remark about how her lips are already halfway there. She also touches a bit more upon her history with alcohol rehab while she was a teenager. Here are some excerpts:

Lana Del Rey

She’s not just a fabricated face: “Music was my passion, but my work with this foundation is more important. I myself had the chance to be [helped by an establishment]. Helping others now feels like it’s my turn to give something back. I want to become a sort of Angelina Jolie. Like her, I think fame is nothing in itself, but it can be put to good use – by using it to generate money for charity for example.”

She’s always been weird: “As a child, I felt different. I always wanted to make my life a work of art.”

On her early issues with alcohol: “When you no longer drink, it is more difficult to celebrate. In fact, when I quit drinking, I lost my life. It took my all to reinvent myself. Find the roots. It was very difficult. At the same time, I had never felt rooted in whatever I’ve done or wherever I’ve been since.”

[From Le Figaro]

The excerpts released thus far from the interview don’t really clarify what Lana means by “this foundation,” but I’d wager a guess that Lizzy Grant is merely trying to reinvent herself once again. I’m not sure whether she’s also alluding to designs of being an actress (or merely a prospective humanitarian), but it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Lana wanted to use the latter as a means to achieve the former. Hell, she could slap on some Marchesa, and Harvey Weinstein would instantly be in the mix. Maybe he’d even produce one of her as-yet-unwritten screenplays for a very special price. One never knows.

Stacy Keibler is ‘over’ trying to befriend Angelina Jolie, now Stacy trash-talks her

Around this time last year, there was suddenly a new movement to pit Angelina Jolie against George Clooney’s girlfriend Stacy Keibler. Stacy had only been around four or five months, and while it seemed like she was going to make it through the 2012 awards season, it was not a guarantee that Clooney wouldn’t jettison her ASAP after the Oscars. The undercurrent (as I read it) of the stories was basically “Angelina doesn’t want to take the time to get to know any of George’s girls, because Angelina knows they won’t last.” There was another undercurrent too, of course – Everybody hates Angelina, because she’s [insert insult].” Maybe Stacy and Angelina simply never got to know each other. Maybe Angelina takes herself too seriously. Maybe Stacy is a really vapid woman. I don’t know. But the stories stuck around for a while… and now we have their logical conclusion. Stacy is no longer going to try to make a friendship with Angelina happen.

After repeated failed attempts to form a relationship with Angelina Jolie, George Clooney’s girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, is not officially Team Aniston!

“Stacy has had it with Angie – she has made a huge effort to get to know her, but every time she’s made to feel inferior,” a source tells Star. Now Stacy is bonding with Jennifer Aniston over their mutual hatred of Brad Pitt’s fiancée.

“They trash-talk Angie and described how high and mighty she acts,” sniped the insider. “Jen told Stacy to play Angie at her own game and ignore her completely.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Yes, that will show Angelina. Trash-talk her behind her back and pretend that you’re ignoring her. That will drive her crazy, especially considering she’s all “Stacy what now? I’m sorry, I have six kids, a career and Brad Pitt is trying to have sex with me right now. Who were you again?” Also: if you think that I’m going to call BS on this story because of course Jennifer Aniston would never ever get together with her girlfriends to trash-talk Angelina, well… God bless you.

Is Angelina Jolie sweet- talking Vladimir Putin about Russia’s new adoption laws?

I’ve been following part of this story on the cable news shows – hundreds (if not thousands) of Americans are now in some kind of legal limbo because they were in the midst of the months- (sometimes years-) long process of adopting Russian children, and Pres. Vladimir Putin just ended foreign adoptions to the US. Putin has various reasons, but there are a lot of American couples who are really freaking out, and the State Department is getting involved and it’s a huge mess. So here comes Angelina Jolie to soothe the situation with her diplomacy and bartering, that is, if you believe the Enquirer. The Enquirer claims that Angelina has “reached out” to Pres. Putin to see if there’s anything she can do to get this adoption thing resolved. “Anything” being “convincing Brad to hold their wedding in Moscow.”

The Hollywood humanitarian has approached Russian President Vladimir Putin about repealing the nation’s recent ban on Americans adopting children from his country, sources say. And the powerful politician responded by asking Angie – the mother of three adopted kids – to tie the knot with Brad Pitt in Russia, insiders say.

“Instead of selling her wedding photos for millions and donating the money to charity, Angelina now has the chance to make a political statement with her walk down the aisle,” a source told The ENQUIRER. “After she asked President Putin to relax his country’s new adoption policy, he agreed to consider it – IF she agrees to marry Brad Pitt in a high-profile ceremony in the heart of Moscow or one of the famous palaces in St. Petersburg.”

On Dec. 28, Putin signed a bill that bans U.S. citizens from adopting Russian children, raising tensions with Washington.

“Angelina thinks the adoption ban is retaliation against a new U.S. law seeking to punish Russians accused of human-rights violations,” explained the source. “She went through diplomatic channels to extend an olive branch to Putin in an attempt to smooth over strained relations between the countries.”

The 37-year-old actress has promoted humanitarian causes around the globe for over a decade as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

“In light of Angelina’s rank in the diplomatic community, it will be difficult for Putin to dismiss her out of hand,” noted the source.

More than 45,000 Russian orphans have been adopted by American parents since 1999, and Angelina herself once considered taking home a Russian toddler.

As The ENQUIRER reported in 2005, the “Tomb Raider” star lost her heart to a 15-month-old boy in a Moscow orphanage. In the end, she chose not to adopt him, saying her Cambodian-born son Maddox was not “quite ready” for a sibling. Since then, she’s adopted children from Vietnam and Ethiopia and had three biological kids with Brad.

The source concluded: “Getting Putin to change Russia’s policy would not only help numerous orphans, but also be a major coup for Angie.”

[From The National Enquirer]

I mean… it’s probably BS, right? But you never know with Angelina. The thing is, I could totally see her writing a letter to Pres. Putin or using her UN credentials to get a meeting with him. I wonder how that overture began? “Dear Vlad, You might not know me but I played a Russian spy in Salt. HUZZAH.” Also: I’ve always wanted to see St. Petersburg. I’ve always wanted to visit the Hermitage. Why wouldn’t Angelina and Brad want to marry in some beautiful Russian locale? That is, if they’re not already married.

Did Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt marry on Christmas Day in Turks & Caicos?

So far, I’ve been a little bit disappointed with the end-of-the-year gossip. I was hoping the first days of 2013 would be full of sudden engagements, elopements, babies and drama. Kimye’s baby doesn’t count, and it seems weird to me that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux didn’t make any big PR move over the holidays. Maybe they were waiting to see how Brangelina played it. I really thought there would be more Bermuda Triangle/Rectangle Dramz, but there wasn’t. The only thing that’s going on is this report from the UK newspaper The Telegraph – the Telegraph isn’t a UK rag, it’s one of the more respectably and small-c conservative newspapers in all of the UK. So if they have a hot tip that Brangelina got married… it might be something…?

It seems that the celebrity wedding the whole world is waiting for, might have already happened…

Word reaches us that Hollywood’s hottest couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, secretly tied the knot on Christmas Day in the Caribbean’s Turks and Caicos Islands.

The couple, who announced their engagement in April 2012 after seven years together, have been spending the holiday at the private Parrot Cay estate of American fashion designer, Donna Karan along with their six children, Brad’s parents Jane and William Pitt, his brother Doug and sister Julie.

‘The Sanctuary’, a collection of three secluded villas, three open-air pavilions and four swimming pools, was built by Karan as a “cocoon of serenity” for her family following the death of her husband Stephan Weiss in 2001.

The entire estate, styled in a hybrid Indonesian/African style, sleeps 22, but Parrot Cay is dotted with similarly luxurious private residences, perfect for their entourage ( one local told a journalist that the couple had been spotted with two nannies per child in tow), and wedding guests.

Speculation about the couple’s wedding plans has been rife ever since news of their engagement broke; with recent reports pointing to Greece as the likely location.

However is seems that the planet’s most high-profile couple – both bankable A-list actors and stars of major luxury label campaigns (Brad is the current face of Chanel No.5, while Angelina appears in Louis Vuitton’s ‘Core Values’ ads) – might have given the world’s press the slip and tied the knot while the paparazzi were busy tucking into turkey.

Both party’s management teams are unavailable to comment at this time.

[From The Telegraph]

A wedding on a serene, quiet beach locale? Isn’t that a weird choice for Brangelina? That’s so… Aniston! I could totally see Jennifer Aniston renting out a luxury beach resort and throwing her wedding on some kind of sandy dune. But Angelina? Seems antithetical to who she is or who she wants to be.

You know what’s cracking me up though? If they did marry on Turks & Caicos that means they LITERALLY got married in the Bermuda Triangle!! They can never escape The Aniston. NEVER.

Angelina Jolie thinks Brad Pitt’s budget weave is cheesy & unworthy of The Leg

I don’t really keep up with Brad Pitt’s hair. I mean, I’m aware that he’s wearing it longer these days, and it’s been “longer” than usual since 2011, when he began filming the neverending production of World War Z. For whatever reason, Brad’s hair choice for his WWZ character is reminscient of Legends of the Fall. Which is fine if that’s what you like (I’ve always been partial to Brad’s dirtbag grifter styling in Thelma & Louise). But as Brad has faced WWZ’s stop-and-go shooting schedule, his hair needs to “look” the same no matter what. So he got a weave. Not just any weave – a really busted Britney Spears weave. And Angelina Jolie won’t have sex with him unless she can rip it out with her Talons of Doom (not really, but that’s what the story should be).

Plenty of successful 49-year-old men get the urge to date women half their age, but not Brad Pitt – he’d rather look like one! Just month after getting mocked for his unintentionally hilarious Chanel No. 5 perfume ad, the A-list actor – who already gets blonde highlights and weekly pedicures – has debuted a new set of hair extensions that had people whispering behind his back at his recent Killing Me Softly premiere in NYC.

“They’re really bad,” a source told Star. “Think more Britney Spears than Kim Kardashian – they just look cheap!”

Apparently fiancée Angelina Jolie agrees. She thought the long hair he sported for World War Z looked thin and greasy, but he got so many compliments he wanted to keep the look.

“She would never get extensions,” says our insider. “She thinks they’re really cheesy, even for women.”

But that won’t stop Brad from going to great lengths to stay relevant in Hollywood – where everyone knows it’s hair today, gone tomorrow.

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

I’m including some of the most recent photos we have of Brad, from late November at the NYC premiere of Killing Them Softly (the pics where Brad is wearing a black leather jacket). Is that the weave? Or is that his real hair? I wasn’t paying much attention at the time, but now that I’m looking at it… sure, it could be a weave. I could see how the lower part could be fake. But they don’t look that budget to me. Certainly not Britney-esque.

Also – I’m pretty sure Angelina has worn wigs, weaves and hairpieces before. Usually for films, but occasionally for a red carpet too. So why is she getting so pissy with Brad?

UPDATE: Page Six has a nice story on “Where in the world is Brangelina?” They’re in Turks and Caicos with their kids & Jane Pitt. They’re staying at Donna Karan’s estate, which sounds awesome. There’s also a rumor going around the island that the Jolie-Pitts have brought along 12 nannies. Which… maybe they’re taking their whole staff on vacation, you know?

Angelina Jolie hates Jennifer Lawrence? Maybe she just hates the name ‘Jennifer’

I remember when Angelina Jolie was rumored to be in the running for the lead role in Silver Linings Playbook. Back then (2011), Mark Wahlberg was supposed to take the male lead role, and Angelina was approached about taking the role of the “unstable widow”. Some time passed and stuff happened and now the film stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, and both are considered to be big contenders for Oscar nominations for their roles. I really don’t know what happened with Angelina’s involvement – I don’t know if she simply withdrew from the film, or if director David O. Russell wanted J-Law more, or whatever. But The Enquirer is trying to make it into something:

ANGELINA JOLIE loathes rising star JENNIFER LAWRENCE, sources say, because she believes “The Hunger Games” star poached a plum role from her!

“Angelina desperately wanted the female lead in the movie ‘Silver Linings Playbook,’” said a source close to the 37-year-old Oscar winner. “It was a prime role with great dialogue, and Angelina campaigned hard for it. But once the director saw Jennifer’s audition, it was no contest. Jennifer blew her out of the water, and Angie was enraged!”

“Silver Linings Playbook” features a man with bipolar disorder, played by “The Hangover” hunk Bradley Cooper, who meets an emotionally unstable young widow named Tiffany.

Director David O. Russell says he initially believed 22-year-old Jennifer – who shot to stardom as plucky “Hunger Games” heroine Katniss Everdeen – wasn’t mature enough to play Tiffany, and had Angelina pegged for the role.

“We had a lot of major actresses in town interested in the role, from Angelina Jolie to some other big stars,” he said recently. “Jennifer, we frankly thought, was too young.”

But Jennifer scored the part after auditioning over the Internet phone service Skype – throwing Angelina into a fury! “Angie was beside herself,” said the source. “She screeched, ‘What’s she got that I don’t have?’ The simple answer is youth. Angie’s getting older and the big parts are going to rising young stars like Jennifer.”

Adding insult to injury, Jennifer earned both a Golden Globe nomination and a Screen Actors Guild award as Best Actress for the role.

“Angie’s seething,” said the source. “It’s a juicy, award-winning part, and she thinks it should have been hers.”

[From The National Enquirer]

You know how I know this is sexist? Because the story isn’t about Mark Wahlberg “seething” with petty jealousy and angst over Bradley Cooper “stealing” his role and no anonymous source is bitching about Mark Wahlberg being too old. That being said, Angelina should be working in front of the camera more, and I don’t understand why more studios and directors aren’t bringing her ready-to-film projects. Like, we only really hear about Angelina being approached for roles that still need to be adapted and need like a year of preproduction or whatever.

As for the actual girlfight – I’m sure all of the Jennifer Lawrence fan-girls will find the exact quote, but I’m pretty sure that Lawrence has said nice things about Angelina in the past. J-Law is a fan. And I’d be willing to bet that Angelina is a fan of Lawrence too. Or maybe Angelina just hates the name “Jennifer” always and forever.

Angelina Jolie to direct her second feature film, the WWII bio-pic ‘Unbroken’

Angelina Jolie made her directorial debut last year, with the barely-seen In the Land of Blood and Honey. Though the film never got a wide release (and I still haven’t seen it), Angelina was nominated for a Golden Globe (for Best Foreign Film) and she won the Stanley Kramer Award at the Producers Guild Awards, and the conventional wisdom is that Angelina’s work was largely a mitzvah – she employed many authentic regional actors, she tried to deal with issues connected to the Bosnian War with diplomacy, etc. But still… barely anyone saw the film. So why is a studio giving Angelina an opportunity to direct something else, especially when she’s also supposed to star in about a half-dozen films over the next few years?

Angelina Jolie is ready to spend more time behind the camera. The Oscar winner is planning to direct the feature-film adaptation of the Laura Hillenbrand best-seller Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption, a true story about Louis Zamperini, a competitor at the 1936 Olympics who, as a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier during World War II, survived a plane crash and then spent the rest of the war in a Japanese prison camp.

Now that’s a story just made for the big screen—and Jolie knew it, too.

“I read Laura Hillenbrand’s brilliant book, and I was so moved by Louie Zamperini’s heroic story, I immediately began to fight for the opportunity to make this film,” Jolie said in a statement. “Louie is a true hero and a man of immense humanity, faith and courage. I am deeply honored to have the chance to tell his inspiring story.”

Added Universal Pictures cochairs Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley: “In her life and in her work, Angelina has embraced stories and causes involving great struggle and triumph over tremendous odds and the basic human condition. She has a real ability to illustrate the strength in human spirit which will be essential in telling Lou’s story of survival and great heroism.” (E! and Universal Pictures are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Jolie, who seemingly spends as much time (if not more) on humanitarian missions in war-torn countries these days as she does acting on movie sets, made her feature directorial debut with the Bosnian war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey.

Hillenbrand, meanwhile, is two for two: Unbroken is only her second novel after Seabiscuit: An American Legend, which also got the Hollywood treatment.

[From E! News]

So, it’s another period piece, and a WWII film to boot. WWII films are… hit or miss, I think. I might be the only person in the world who thinks Saving Private Ryan is overrated as a film, but then again… Judgment At Nuremberg is one of the best post-WWII films ever. But I guess the story won’t really be about battles or even the European theater… it will be about the Pacific theater, and I’m guessing that Angelina really wants to do this film because she wants to film on location in Southeast Asia and employ a lot of local actors. Don’t get me wrong… this sounds like a good project (and a depressing story), and my only real qualm is that Angelina is going to be directing a project without any strong female characters.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt picked up their wedding bands: is the wedding soon?

Here ^^ is a new photo of Angelina Jolie in the Za’atri refugee camp on the border of Jordan yesterday, where she met with Syrian refugees fleeing the absolutely insane civil war/one-sided genocide by Syrian President Bashir al-Assad . Angelina is really tight with Jordan’s Queen Rania, and Jolie praised Jordan for their efforts to take care of the hundreds of Syrian refugees crossing the border. You can read more about her visit here, and you can donate to the UNCHR efforts for the Syrian refugees here. Do we need to talk about the widespread reports that Bashir al-Assad is planning on using chemical weapons on his people? He has Sarin gas. It’s going to be awful. Those poor people.

Now, let’s move on to something less psychologically devastating. I’m not saying that the above paragraph wasn’t important – it’s extremely important – I’m just saying that this is a gossip site so maybe we should have a lighter story? There are a ton of tabloid stories about a possible Brangelina wedding, so I just thought you’d like to know:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are one step closer to saying “I do!”

In Touch has exclusively learned that on Nov. 27, a stylist for the actress picked up wedding rings from Neil Lane jewelers for the couple.

Known for being notoriously shy about discussing his private life, Brad revealed just the day before purchasing the wedding bands, “It’ll be soon — the time is right.”

Exchanging vows seems to be low on the priority list for the power couple, who have been filming two movies, renovating their home in France, jetting across the globe on goodwill missions, shooting a perfume commercial, and taking care of their six children.

Brad says the celebration will be “simple” and “just family.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

In Touch’s print edition notes that Brad had been perusing the wedding band section before Angelina’s stylist picked them up, so maybe it’s on. Star Magazine also has a really stupid story about Jennifer Aniston and Angelina’s “wedding wars”. Basically, Jennifer “still wants to stick it to Angelina” so when Jennifer heard that Brad and Angie were planning a ceremony in the South of France, Jennifer decided to have HER wedding in Paris and she invited all of Brad’s friends because she is so, so, so OVER him. So Angelina heard about this (from the gerbils) and she decided to move the wedding ceremony over to Cambodia, and she’ll “stick it to Aniston” by making her look vapid and showy and excessive while she (Angelina) looks so family-oriented by comparison. So to up the ante, Jennifer has invited Brad’s mother to the wedding and DEAR GOD do I have to keep talking about this?

Angelina Jolie: ‘I’m going to… give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years’

Ugh. I’m a Brangeloonie and everything, but even I get tired of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s talking points. Like, I was fine with Brad talking about the wedding last week while he promoted Killing Them Softly, but now Angelina has given an interview… and I just find it exhausting. They were talking about this earlier in the year, when Brad was campaigning for his Oscar. They talked about it last year. They’ve started talking about it whenever they promote one of their films. The subject? How they’re going to “quit” Hollywood. I don’t get why they continue to give quotes about it. If you’re going to quit, just quit. We don’t need a multi-year build-up to prepare ourselves. Anyway, here’s Angelina’s new interview where she discusses how she’s totally going to quit, for real now.

It was only last year that Brad Pitt claimed he would be giving up acting for directing in the space of three years as he approaches the 50 mark. And now his fiancée Angelina Jolie has vowed the same thing. The Tomb Raider star has now said that she too envisages giving up being in front of the camera so that she can spend more time with their brood of children.

Jolie, 37, has now also spoken out to admit she can’t see herself spending that much longer concentrating on her movie career.

She told Channel 4 news: ‘I think I’m going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, anyway, too much to manage at home. I have enjoyed being an actress. I am so grateful to the job and I have had great experiences and I have even be able to tell stories and be a part of stories that mattered and I have done things for fun, but…’

The Salt star added: ‘I will do some films and I am so fortunate to have the job, it’s a really lucky profession to be a part of and I enjoy it. But if it went away tomorrow I would be very happy to be home with the children. I wake up in the morning as a mum and I turn on the news like everybody else and I see what’s happening and I want to be part of the world in a positive way.’

Brad made a similar pledge recently when the 48-year-old revealed he’d like to give up acting in the near future as he approaches 50. And he admitted he even chooses what films he appears in carefully now for fear his children will judge him.

He said: ‘If I’m choosing a film now I want it to be, maybe, less immature than things I’ve done in the past. I’m very conscious that they’re going to see it as adults. I want it to mean something to them. I want them to think: ‘Dad’s all right’. It changes everything.’

And it’s no wonder the pair are deciding to hang up their acting shoes now as they get even more settled in their family lives. The couple are due to wed in the near future – and Pitt has already spoken about their plans. And it seems like when Brad finally does wed Angelina Jolie it will be a day all about the little cherubs.

The parent of adopted and biological kids – Maddox, 11, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and twins Knox and Vivienne, four – wants the ceremony to be one where the little ones get as much attention as the beautiful bride.

Following an interview with the actor, a writer at People magazine revealed about the forthcoming nuptials: ‘One thing for sure, he says it’s going to be all about family: a simple affair with Angie and the kids.’

[From The Mail]

Maddox is 11 years old now – just two years away from his teenage years, although kids are growing up faster these days and he’s probably already a rambunctious tween. So is Angelina saying she’ll quit in two years? Is she just trying to prepare us for her eventual withdrawal from Hollywood? Here’s the thing: she’s already withdrawn from Hollywood a great deal over the past few years. She hasn’t appeared in front of the camera since The Tourist, and that was 2010. And she keeps signing on for films too. So… ENOUGH. Enough with conveniently claiming that you’re so over it and so family-oriented and you’re totally going to quit.

Angelina Jolie ‘refusing’ to spend Christmas in Missouri with Brad’s parents

Here are some photos from the past year of Angelina Jolie looking lovey-dovey and super-friendly with Brad Pitt’s mother Jane Pitt. Jane, as we found out earlier this year, is a bit of a hyper-conservative wingnut. Which is fine. To each their own, etc. While Jane’s son Brad is a self-described liberal who believes in gay marriage and all of that jazz, we still don’t really know where Angelina stands on many issues. She sees herself as a diplomatic figure, so she really doesn’t come out for or against many polarizing issues, and I’ve long suspected that Angelina is closeted neoconservative. So what’s the big deal? Star Magazine is trying to make Angelina and Jane’s “polar-opposite political views” a wedge issue that will tear the Pitt family apart! Jane is going to start calling her “Angelina Hussein Jolie”!!!

If you’re facing family drama this holiday season, you’re not alone. Angelina Jolie is squaring off against Brad Pitt’s mom – again – this time, over where the Brangelina brood will spend Christmas.

“As usual, Angie has no desire to spend her holidays in the Midwest, something Brad’s mom, Jane, finds rude and insulting. But Angie couldn’t care less,” reveals a source close to the famous couple, adding that Angie and Jane’s polar-opposite political views are the root of the discord.

“They have such different opinions on everything,” the friend explains. “Brad’s parents are extremely right-wing and religious. Angie has to bite her tongue to keep the peace.”

Predictably, Jane blames Angie for not seeing her grandchildren more often. “It’s been a sore point for Brad’s mom for years,” the insider says. “She loves to have all her grandkids together, but that rarely happens – and she says it’s Angie’s doing.”

Brad, 48, seems determined to sell his fiancée on the idea of a Missouri Christmas and even dragged her and the kids to Springfield last week. But Angelina won’t budge.

“Visits to the Pitt home have been awkward for Angelina,” our spy continues. “She says that not wanting to spend the holidays there isn’t personal, but anyone would see it as a snub.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Maybe Angelina doesn’t want to go to Missouri because she’d rather be in Kenya or Cambodia or Libya or something. It’s not like Brad’s parents NEVER get to see Angelina and Brad and their kids. The Pitts fly out to LA or London or wherever, and it seems like Angie and Brad make an effort to go to Missouri a few times a year too. I seriously doubt this is a thing. I also doubt that Jane and Angelina talk that much about political stuff.
