I like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt well enough, though I don’t think they’re the second coming like a lot of people, but they’re pretty good, especially as celebrities go. The two have constantly said that their kids are the center of their lives, and considering how many of them they’re racking up, one would hope it’s true. Yet they haven’t curbed their jet setting lifestyle or established any type of clear home base for the kids, and that’s kind of worrisome. Most people agree that kids thrive on routine with a little variety thrown in, and not the other way around. After a just a little over a month at his new school, Maddox has been taken out of Lycee Francais de New York. Angelina is filming a new movie in Los Angeles, so the family is now heading there, and the kids are being yanked around again.

“After a little over a month, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 5, had his last day at his $18,000-a-year Lycee Francais de New York in NYC yesterday, walking out with a goodbye card as a souvenir as mom Angelina Jolie escorted him home. This is at least the fourth school change for Maddox, who has also been a student in New Orleans, Prague, and L.A.

“Since the oldest member of the Jolie-Pitt brood started classes on September 4, his stay had caused a frenzy. Parents began crowding the school in the morning, taking pictures. The Lycee’s director of operations, Dan Cooke, even penned a letter September 14, urging them to respect the family’s privacy.

“The next stop for the Brangelina clan? L.A.! Jolie begins shooting the Clint Eastwood mystery The Changeling on Monday, while Brad Pitt will start production on the crime thriller State of Play on October 22.”

It’s hard to say if it would be better for the kids to have one home base and see their parents less, or if they should have tutors that go with them everywhere so their educations aren’t disrupted, or if bouncing from school to school is the best option. None of the options are really ideal. I just remember how the new kids in school were always treated as outsiders and a little weird – now imagine you’re the child of famous parents, and you’re the new kid a couple times a year. That’s got to make it hard to make friends and feel like there’s people you can trust. I really don’t think it’s fair to tell people not to care about their careers, but I think that if you’re going to have kids, you need to be willing to sacrifice a bit. Having to leave a new school after just a month makes it seem like the only sacrifice is coming from Maddox.

Brad Pitt, who was raised as a Southern Baptist, has a pretty interesting interview in the upcoming issue of “Parade” magazine. He says that as he entered college, he began to doubt religion, and that doubt stays with him today. He says he believes in his family and the goodness of people, and that’s where he puts his faith. In a way, it helped him discover himself by really thinking about things. I know a lot of our commenters have said they don’t think Brad is very smart, and while I wouldn’t accuse him of secretly attending Mensa meetings, I think he’s got a lot more going on in his brain than most celebrities.

Now the head of Hollywood’s most famous family finds comfort in his partner Angelina Jolie and their four children, Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and one-year-old Shiloh. “I still have faith in that,” he says. In the new issue of “Parade” magazine, Pitt discusses his evolution from college journalism student to actor to philanthropist. Is a run for office in his future? See interview excerpts below to find out…

On inequality:
“Whoever said all men are born equal never left his own backyard. I see people everywhere without opportunity. I want to help level the playing field.”

On whether his charity work is the result of his relationship with Jolie:
“That’s idiotic! I do it because I’m a member of the human race. In Africa you see people on the street dying from AIDS, children left without parents. We’re all cells of one body, with the same emotions and desires for our families–for a little dignity and a chance for a better life. Let’s focus on that! I believe in the founding principles of America. I want to fight for that. I know most Americans feel the same way.”

On whether he’ll ever run for office:
“Oh, my God! I never thought about it. I have no desire at this point. Maybe I serve better by not going through that door. George [Clooney] should do it! He’d be quite good. I think Ben Affleck should run.”

On being famous:
“When fame really hit me was when Legends of the Fall was released three years later. You get no warning about what celebrity is or how to deal with it. It’s sort of multitiered. The initial stage is feeling discombobulated and not up to the task. I didn’t understand the incessant attention when I went outside, the way people completely focused on me. It made me very uncomfortable.

On the paparazzi:
“I mean, yesterday Angie was taking Maddie off to school. There were 30 paparazzi outside. One guy sticks a video camera in Mad’s face, yelling, ‘Maddox! Maddox!’ He doesn’t get a response. He doesn’t know my boy. Mad is already savvy to this, unfortunately. But my 2-year-old dreads being anyplace there are cameras. It scares her. They’re all in her face. My kids are faced with this every day! It’s disgusting. So we’ve been run out of L.A., all the major cities. We just can’t live there. You don’t understand–this is the hunt, the hunt, the hunt! I thought it might be over a year ago. It’s gotten worse.”

On turning away from religion:
“I didn’t understand this idea of a God who says, ‘You have to acknowledge me. You have to say that I’m the best, and then I’ll give you eternal happiness. If you won’t, then you don’t get it!’ It seemed to be about ego. I can’t see God operating from ego, so it made no sense to me.

On the ways of the world:
“We’re basically all the same. There is so much focus on our differences. Again, this thing of ego—my high school is better than your high school! We forget that we all have the same feelings on any side of the world. Why can’t we find common ground instead of this obsession with our hatreds?”

[From Us Weekly]

While I may not agree with Brad on everything, it’s hard to deny that it sounds like he’s actually thought a lot of things through that many people never bother to wrestle with. I think Angelina has been a good influence on him in terms of charity, but he was a bit of a do-gooder before he met her, just a less public one. I think Brad’s still smarter and more caring than 9 out of 10 celebrities out there, and I hope he keeps up the good work.

Bai Ling is one of those people that are only interesting because she’s so freaking delusional. She can’t act worth beans, prances around in the most moronic outfits in Hollywood, and thinks everyone knows and loves her, when it’s more like everyone knows her as that lady that doesn’t really make sense and always flashes her nipple. I don’t really want to encourage her manic delusions or anything, but this one is sort of funny: she thinks she and Angelina Jolie had crazy chemistry and should have gotten it on… and now that Brad’s in her life, Bai is fine with him jumping in on the good times too.

“Angelina Jolie is so hot that she even drives her female costars wild! 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!’”

[From Us Weekly]

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Gross. Not two women together, or even a threesome, but just the thought of Bai Ling with absolutely anything other than a ravenous tiger makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. That woman is cra-to-the-z. I just made that up, and I’m going with it. Let’s hope it catches on. Seriously, there is this level of delusional that’s funny, there’s a level of delusional that needs medication, and then on top of both those levels, there’s Bai Ling. A bit of (unintentionally hilarious) history of Bai Ling’s delusions:

“Many of the events in Bai’s past have only been verified by Bai herself; her past in China is especially in doubt. No independent source besides Bai has verified her claims of her time spent in the Chinese army. The same is true of her time spent in New York as a visiting scholar, when her age would have made her a suspiciously young candidate for such an honor, especially given the paucity of her academic achievements. Finally, her participation in the Tiananmen Square protests would have been quite remarkable, given the fact that she attended the 1989 Moscow International Film Festival one month later as a member of an official Chinese movie group.

“Bai once claimed publicly that she was engaged to Nick Carter, but Carter immediately denied it and the two have never married. She has further claimed that she was “cut out” of Star Wars due to her appearance in Playboy magazine while also insinuating a large role for her character; George Lucas denied this, citing the facts that the edit had been done months before the Playboy appearance was known and stating that Bai’s role was only a few lines of unimportant dialogue. Additionally, Go Fug Yourself has documented Bai numerous times appearing publicly in revealing outfits that happen to “slip” and show her nipples in pictures, despite the fact that she was attending as a guest at events with no overt sexual content.”

[From Wikipedia]

Now I know Angelina Jolie has been pretty public in the past with the fact that she goes both ways – and she used to be pretty messed up, drugs and cutting and wearing vials of Billy Bob Thorton’s blood around her neck or some such thing. Though to be fair, most of us have at least half a beaker of Billy Bob Thorton’s blood somewhere in our homes, so that’s not all that bizarre, in and of itself. But given Bai’s longstanding history of lying about random shit (yeah I really believe you were at Tiananmen Square you crazy, self-serving wacko) I really doubt much of any of this is true. But I look forward to hearing about how she was actually Neil Armstrong.

Despite all the events she attends for the sake of saving the world, Angelina Jolie just wasn’t the right person to represent the serious St. John clothing brand and they have replaced her as their spokesperson. OK! Magazine quotes an insider as saying the conservative rich old ladies that usually buy their clothes weren’t quite pleased with seeing Angelina wearing them. (At least that’s how I interpreted it.)

Though reps for the fashion label say that no decision has been reached, OK! has exclusively learned that Angelina Jolie has been replaced as the face of St. John, for whom she’d been modeling since September 2005.

“Putting celebrities in campaigns is the biggest trend right now, everyone is doing it, but it didn’t work for St. John with Angelina,” a fashion industry insider explains to OK!. “The people that wear St. John just didn’t relate to her.”

Angelina made some good points at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in NY yesterday. She’s trying to get funding for children’s education through the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, which she represents. She said that the cost of just 8 hours of the war in Iraq could provide education for 150,000 children. She was unveiling a plan to educate a million refugee and at risk children through the UN:

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie called for the world to get its “priorities in order” Wednesday, saying that the amount of money spent in Iraq in just a few hours could educate thousands of children.

“To put things into perspective and maybe help to understand why we maybe need to adjust the way we’re doing things in the world, the conflict in Iraq has displaced over four million people,” Jolie told reporters in New York.

She said an appeal by UNICEF, the UN’s fund for children, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to address the educational needs of many of those children was dwarfed by the cost of US military spending in Iraq.

“The entire appeal equals about eight hours of current spending in Iraq. So just a few hours would send 150,000 children to school,” she said.

“Nothing wins more hearts and minds and nothing gives more freedom than education and nothing is a better deterrent for conflict than an educated child,” she added, urging the world to get its “priorities in order.”

Jolie, who as well as being an Oscar-winning actress is a UN goodwill ambassador, was unveiling an almost 150-million-dollar programme to help educate one million children in conflict, refugee and emergency situations.

Angelina probably doesn’t give a shit if St. John is replacing her. She’s got plenty of money and more important things to work on. Good for her for breaking the cost of the war down into cost vs. benefits, because it’s much more reasonable to spend money on education and healthcare.

Meanwhile Brad Pitt is working on his own philanthropy. He pledged $5 million in matching contributions to the Make it Right project in New Orleans, which aims to build 150 affordable sustainable homes for residents displaced by flooding.

Update: St. John says that this report is not true, and that Angelina is still representing their line.

Poor Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They’ve been seriously inconvenienced lately when dropping off their oldest son Maddox at Manhattan’s ultra-posh Lycee Francais school. People are asking them for pictures, autographs, or just having the general nerve to say their names. But if nothing else, these are random street hooligans, right? Well, no. They’re other Lycee Francais parents. A little embarrassing. Considering how fancy the school is, you’d think the parents would be a little more annoyed by the Brangelina hubbub than the other way around, but sadly that’s not the case.

“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 [sic] 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.’”

[From US Weekly]

I expected Upper East Side parents to have a bit more decorum about them, just not give a damn, or if nothing else be righteously annoyed by the Brangelina spectacle. Turns out they’re just a bunch of screaming girls at a Beatles concert like the rest of us. Too old a reference? Okay, turns out they’re just a bunch of screaming girls at a Justin Timberlake concert. That could really make those parent open houses awkward. Someone says hello to Brad Pitt, Brad’s security team knocks the parent over and confiscates their cell phone… and their camera… and their binoculars… okay I guess these people really are freaks.

It actually is enough of a problem that Maddox has become afraid of the paparazzi and all the screaming at school lately.

“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.”

[From US Weekly]

Maybe he’s just crying because he’s got that silly Mohawk in all those pictures and he’s too embarrassed to bring one in? I’m kidding, the Mohawk is adorable. He’s probably actually crying because all of the family photos are in Us Weekly.

We here at Celebitchy don’t consider ourselves to be tabloid writers, but we are certainly lovers of gossip. And if once in a while we quote a tabloid, so be it. Anymore the stories seem to turn out to be true more often than not. But we let you know when we think a story is likely a big bag of crap. So with the caveat that we’re not talking including ourselves here, let’s talk about the most recent celebrity railing against the tabloids: our beloved Brad Pitt. Brad is not a fan of the tabs. I have yet to hear of a celeb that’ll admit to liking them, though a lot of them (ahem, Paris) seem to know that their careers depend on them. Brad’s newest movie, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” brought the esteemed history of tabloid journalism into Brad’s precious little noggin, and Brad being the socially, gossipy conscious guy that he is, felt it morally incumbent to let the rest of us know just how similar things were back in the day.

“While news about Jesse James crawled its way across 19th-century America — compared to today’s lightning-fast Internet — the tone was uncannily comparable to today’s celebrity coverage, Brad Pitt found in reading those old accounts.

“‘I will say, I was surprised to see how tabloid journalism was alive and well even then and operating in the same way, just sensationalizing a complete fabrication of untruths,’ said Brad Pitt, who stars as the legendary outlaw in ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.’

“‘There’s just more of it today. There’s more of it in quantity, but the execution’s the same. In that day, when you only had a newspaper to get your information, that would have been the extent of it. But it doesn’t seem to have changed at all,’ Pitt told The Associated Press at the Toronto International Film Festival.”

[From CNN]

True story Brad. Tabloid journalism definitely hasn’t changed much at all. For our readers who may not know, back in the day of Jesse James, there was also a Brangelina and Bennifer-type obsession. President Ulysses S. Grant was famous for his untoward affair with Angelina Jolie, and after leaving his wife, the First Lady Julia Grant (I was really hoping her name would have been something more old fashioned and less sexy like Gertrude to make this funnier, so let’s pretend she was named Gertrude Grant) Ulysses hooked up with Angelina. They then hopped around the globe adopting random children while flaunting their new-found love and happiness in the former First Lady’s face. Gertrude, blind with rage, took up with various bloated movie stars and British models, none of whom would commit to her. Then President Grant tried to save New Orleans with modern architecture that no one wanted, and the pair eventually grabbed their covered wagon and rolled away. This was all covered by the National Enquirer, which had a hard time disseminating the information quickly, as it only had one dirty old printing press that was missing the “i.” I’m sure things were just as tawdry and explicit back then as they are now. Though they probably didn’t besmirch the reputations of beloved former presidents with blatant fabrications, but that’s their own fault.

Angelina Jolie might be sporting a baby bump – or is it just adoptive mother hormones making her plump around the middle? It’s Monday again, and could be a slow week for gossip, so naturally we had to have some Brangelina’s going to adopt rumors:

The Daily Mail reports the 32-year-old actress has procured the help of one of the country’s leading monks to plan a trip to an orphanage.

“Ever since I was about 12, I’ve always wanted to adopt — I don’t know why,” Jolie said recently. “We want to have a big, big family,”

A source claims Jolie is desperate to help Third World countries and feels the repressive disposition of the Republic of Burma is the ideal place to adopt.

“Angelina feels she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative,” the source said.

“She’s in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly.”

ninemsn.com.au

I’m probably not too inclined to believe this report, as Angelina has frequently spoken about adopting from Africa to give Zahara an immediate family member to relate to. I also don’t believe the part where Angelina is said to travel ‘incognitoto different nations’, as I doubt she can travel anywhere on Earth without being recognized.

If rumors about Brad and Angie giving Maddox $US50 for every tooth he loses are true, it could get expensive for them, by average-people standards, to have more kids. Kids loose twenty teeth in childhood, so four kids at $50 a tooth, that is $4,000. That’s a lot more than the dollar I used to get for each tooth I lost, on the condition I faked belief in the Tooth Fairy. Still, that’s pocket change for Brad and Angelina.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Angelina is shown with Pax and Zahara on Friday in NY. They dropped Maddox off at school and went to a Barnes and Noble. I swear they’re just trying to get a lot of pictures out so we get bored of them. It’s probably working, but if Angelina is pregnant all bets are off. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

By moving to NY and making their routine well known, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are trying to reduce the public’s interest by flooding the market with pictures. At least that’s how I’m interpreting their strategy. They probably figure they couldn’t escape to the remotest region of Africa and keep the paparazzi at bay without brute force so they may as well go to a place where there are tons of people and it’s easy to find them. It’s supply and demand, and when there’s a lot of Brad and Angelina to go around people get placated and a little bored with them. That seems to be the way they handle interviews too. Just give too much information and there’s not much left to speculate about.

Everyone is watching Angelina closely to see if she’s sprouting that baby bump that showed up in a picture published over the weekend and but has otherwise proved elusive. People are divided, with some saying she’s just gaining some much-needed weight and others concluding she’s got to be pregnant considering how many hints Brad has been dropping.

Pitt will appear on Good Morning America tomorrow, Friday, and ABC has an advance look at his interview on their website. He tells Diane Sawyer that he has had some problems with depression in his life but that being a dad has helped lift his spirits. He gushes about how much he loves his children and says his kids say and do the cutest things. He says fatherhood is his greatest achievement and he calls Angelina “amazing”:

Also like Jesse, Pitt said he also understands the melancholy of those children of the prairie. Both Pitt and Jesse came from the plains of Missouri.

“He’s from the same area that, that I’m from,” Pitt said. “I was surprised how much that meant to me in the end, to do something that had a connection with home.”

Sawyer asked Pitt about a time he said that he had grown up on those plains with some unexplained sadness.

“I called it a congenital sadness. It’s something that I, that I feel in my grandparents, in my … in the people I’ve met, in a Southern way of life. It’s something pervasive, is an undercurrent that, that I think Christianity answers.”

When Sawyer suggested that this sadness was something of a “genetic background music,” Pitt agreed.

“Well put, I like that,” he said.

Pitt has said that he once thought fame or success would be a cure for the sadness, but he has since learned the secret may be children.

“It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever taken on. It’s the most difficult, the most rewarding and the most fun,” he said. “But I think this is the, the greatest thing I’ve, I could possibly achieve and hats off to all the parents out there.”

He said that a good deal of parenting comes from instinct, but all of it is rewarding.

“They say the funniest things I’ve ever heard. They’re the funniest people I’ve ever met. … One of the things I’m most happy about for my kids is that they, they have a mother I think, because she is, she’s amazing,” he said.

I like how Brad and Angelina are opening up so much and you can tell that the press is starting to like them again. I think the gossip is influenced a lot by how they’re acting toward each other in public. They seem a lot happier lately and I think that might have to do with a little surprise that will be more evident in the near future.

Thanks to Splash News for these pictures of Angelina with the kids yesterday and today. You can see how much she’s mobbed in NY. Splash News is currently blurring the faces of children in pictures that we’re downloading. I have requested unblurred versions, but have not received them yet. I will replaced the blurred photos when I get them.

People are saying Angelina Jolie is pregnant after photographs came out of her this weekend looking like she was sporting a growing baby bump. At last night’s Assassination of Jesse James premiere in NY there wasn’t as pronounced a bump, but she no longer looks scary skinny and had a thicker middle than you would expect for someone so thin. Brad has been dropping hints all over the place, and said in a recent interview that they have to get a bigger bed so their growing brood can fit into it, so I would bet she is pregnant:

“We’re not done,” Pitt, 43, quipped, acknowledging public interest in the family’s growth. “They say, ‘Any plans for a fifth?’ And I say, ‘And a sixth, and a seventh, and an eighth, and a ninth.’ That’s my answer.”

“We also made a 9-foot-wide bed” that fits him, Jolie, 32, and all four children, Pitt who is starring in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, told the Associated Press. “Just big enough. One more and we’ll have to go to 11 feet.”

[From People.com]

Pitt also spoke about the downside of fame, saying there have been unbalanced people around them and some scary episodes that make him concerned for the safety of his family. He said that they can’t really go anywhere due to the hoards of paparazzi that surround them like flies:

“We just take turns and make sure we keep the family together,” Pitt said, adding in an interview with USA Today, “It’s impossible for us. We’re run out of every major city. There’s just too many paparazzi. There’s always cameras in the kids’ faces, yelling their names.”

Although he doesn’t pack a six-shooter like his latest screen character Jesse James, Pitt admits he’s concerned about “how to survive and how to maintain a family life.”

“I understand the essence of paranoia. I understand being hunted, to some degree. It’s rare, but there are imbalanced people out there. I’ve had break-ins in the house,” Pitt said. “I’ve had some of these abnormal incidents that can be a bit frightening.

“It’s something that I want to be aware of and be cautious about, especially with the family, that everybody’s protected,” he told the AP.

[From People.com]

With Angelina maybe-pregnant, it’s not going to get any better for them. She looks quite happy, and it’s a change from her frosty look at some premieres in the recent past. I would guess that she’s expecting. Star Magazine is calling her pregnant on the latest cover, saying she had a “secret visit to [a] baby doc,” but I would bet they’re just speculating like we are.

I have a three year old, and although I have good help that allows me to work, it’s still a huge responsibility and I’m not ready for another one yet. One of my friends has five kids and she manages with schedules and chore sheets. It’s much more than a full time job for her, and I don’t know how she does it, but all of her kids are in school now so at least she has some time off.

Brad and Angelina certainly have the resources to have good help for their children, and they’re very hands-on parents. It must be crazy at their house with all those little ones despite all the space, although it sounds like that’s just the way they like it.

Brad has recently praised his co-star Mary Louise Parker’s adoption of an infant girl from Africa. He said she brought her little boy on the set of The Assassination of Jesse James and called her “a really lovely mother.” He said he thought it was a great idea that she adopted.

They say you should never reveal your number, but when it’s low I guess it’s okay. Angelina Jolie is playing up her innocence – revealing her number of male sex partners to be four.

Angelina Jolie insists that she has only had 4 lovers–ever. She says she’s shocked by her ‘man-eater’ reputation. She claims to have had sex with Brad Pitt, former husband Billy-Bob Thornton and Johnny Lee Miller and another nameless man.

She tells Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine, “It was never true. I had only slept with four men in my life - and I married two of them!”

Hollyscoop

Three of them we could presume to know, being her two ex-husbands Johnny Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, and the father of her child Brad Pitt. We could speculate all day on number four. I’m going for someone not famous, like a high school boyfriend, although she was only 21 when she married Miller. Angie’s man-eater reputation comes from the woman herself I guess, since she’s talked about having relations with male friends in hotel rooms when she’s not looking for a long relationship. She also told OK! Magazine that when she was 14 sex was boring and she used knives to spice it up.

Not that Angelina is known for her heterosexual qualities, ex-lover Jenny Shimizu came out and said she’s sure Angie will get tired of being with Brad because the role of wife and mother isn’t enough. So now, the fun part is to speculate on how many lovers she’s had in total.
