Here is one of the best known faces in all of Hollywood. Her life is also an open book…or magazine, or newspaper, as the case maybe. So can there be a few things about this lovely lady that have escaped public knowledge? Read on to discover that there were actually ten things about Angelina Jolie you did not know!

#1.

 
As a teenager, Angelina became depressed when she could not get modeling assignments. At the peak of her depression she started to cut herself with sharp objects. As she herself says, “For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me.”

#2.

 
When she was just 14, Angelina who was attending classes in theatre, dropped out and wanted to become, no not an actress, but a funeral director!

#3.

 
Angelina’s generosity with her time, for the people and causes she cares for is legendary and started early. She acted in five of her brother’s student films, made while he was studying Cinematic Art.

Did you know that Angelina has acted in music videos?

Been there, done that too! Meat Loaf’s “Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through,” Antonello Venditti’s “Alta Marea,” Lenny Kravitz’s “Stand by My Woman” and The Lemonheads’ “It’s About Time” to name a few.

#5.

 
Angelina has been never one to shy away from the flamboyant. In 1996, when she married British actor Jonny Lee Miller, she dressed for her wedding in black leather pants and a white shirt, on which she had written her to-be husband’s name in her blood!

Brad Pitt has confirmed to friends lover Angelina Jolie is expecting twins.

The ‘Fight Club’ star – who already has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, and Zahara, three, as well as 21-month-old daughter Shiloh with the actress – has told pals they will soon be adding two more to their brood.

A friend is quoted on the Daily Mail website as saying: “Brad’s been very quiet about this pregnancy so far but this was the weekend he decided to let the cat out of the bag. He’s telling everybody close to him, because he is having to change his work schedule to get ready for the birth.

“They’re having twins, Angelina is healthy, and he’s thrilled that he’s going to be a father once again.

“They didn’t exactly plan this pregnancy, but they wanted more children and Brad says Angelina was very willing to have them herself.”

Brad – who is cutting back on filming commitments to help look after his ever-expanding family – is also keen for Angelina to have the twins in their native US, unlike Shiloh’s birth in Namibia in May 2006.

The friend added: “They want to have these children in Los Angeles or New Orleans. I don’t think Brad wants to isolate himself and the family again like he did when Shiloh was born.”

Angelina Jolie revealed that her blonde-haired blue-eyed natural child Shiloh, 20 months, is the ‘outcast’ in her ethnically diverse family.

The actress – who has adopted three other children from around the world – said in a revealing interview, that her only biological child, fathered by actor Brad Pitt, is the odd one out because of her bright blonde hair.

Angelina and partner Brad Pitt also have six-year-old Maddox from Cambodia, four-year-old Pax Thien from Vietnam and two-year-old Zahara who they adopted in Ethiopia.

But the 32 year-old Beowulf star explained Shiloh’s resemblance to her father which set her apart from her siblings.

Angelina told Look magazine: “She looks like Brad. It’s funny because she’s almost going to be the outcast in the family because she’s blonde and blue-eyed.”

Jolie also admitted she would have been happy not to have a biological child.

But changed her mind after seeing Brad with Zahara and Maddox after bringing her to the U.S. from Ethiopia.

She said: “I saw Brad with her and Maddox, and I realised how much he loved them – and how a biological child would not be in any way be a threat.”

The actress said she felt a deep connection to her adopted children because of the pain they had endured in their young lives.

She added: “I felt so much more for Madd, Zahara and Pax because they were survivors.

“Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born.

“But I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”

But when asked if she was glad she’d had Shiloh, Angelina avoids singling out her biological child – at the expense of her adopted children.

She said: “It was so lovely. But at the same time, the first time we saw a picture of Zahara before we met her we were both very emotional.

“It was different journeys but very similar feelings.”

Angelina Jolie gives her son Maddox $50 every time he loses a tooth – and allows him spend it on whatever he wants.

The actress, 32, recently rewarded adopted child Maddox with $100 after two of his front teeth fell out – and Jolie vows to give as generously to her other children Pax, three, Zahara, two, and one-year-old Shiloh.

A source tells British newspaper Daily Star, “Angelina plays the tooth fairy and gives Maddox a bit more than the usual $5 per tooth, and he can spend it on anything he wants to.

“So far he’s lost four teeth – that’s $200. Not bad for a six-year-old kid.”

well that’s what this week’s STAR magazine is claiming – they did take a break last week from harping on jennifer aniston, brad pitt, and angelina jolie but now they’re right back at it! i haven’t heard about any secret lunch – sounds fishy to me – i do wish i had some of the details of the story but right now we’ve just got the cover – at least the magazine picked a flattering image of ms. aniston! i’m really over the drama of her break-up with brad who then shacked up with ms. jolie – but it seems people are still super interested in rehashing this story until no end! gosh what’s next – jen’s plan to kidnap shiloh?!? if i were running a magazine and wanted to sell covers – i’d totally feature the three of them every week! somebody asked me the other day what i’d recommend as a topic to start a popular blog on…i said two words – angelina jolie! i can’t think of anyone else who is debated with such fervor & strong feelings – she’s great for traffic!

in other stories we’ve got a pregnant nicole richie – who is supposedly having a boy and a shotgun wedding with joel madden (i wonder what hilary duff (an ex-girlfriend of mr. madden) thinks about all of this?!?) i must say that contrary to what everyone thinks national enquirer does break stories – they were the very first on the scene with the baby news! i posted about ms. richie’s pregnancy almost six weeks ago – everybody called the tabloid crazy – but they were so right!

we’ve also got the inside scoop on cameron diaz and magicman criss angel – he’s got way too much drama going on now – besides magicians are always a drop on the creepy side! plus now we find out he has a ’secret’ wife – i doubt ms. diaz will be hanging around him for very long! the last item featured is ’summer weight winners & losers’ – with jessica simpson being labeled a ‘winner’ (she does look a lot better these days) and kelly clarkson gets the ‘loser label’ – i think she looks great – when she was skinny she looked off to me – i think she’s at a perfect weight for her body type – not everybody can be super skinny! she looks healthy and i love her new album – i stand by her 100%! popbytes over & out for tonight – thank heavens i have off from the day job tomorrow!

Forget the silver spoon! Shiloh has a paci that’s made of diamonds!

Angelina is constantly talking about setting a good example and helping those in need. How can that be when she is throwing money away at home? First, each child has their own nanny–and they are not allowed to be seen in public! Then, she bought Shiloh a $17,000, diamond-encrusted pacifier to help her when she gets crabby! Yes, you read that correctly!

Whether it’s true or not of the Jolie-Pitts, I’m sure there are some in Hollywood that would go to these extremes.

I don’t know… is it true or not?

What do you think?

Angelina Jolie’s birthday was June 4, and Brad had to get her something, right? The rumored gift was an engraved 18-carat gold love-letter pendant that said, “I find you in the morning sky, in the sound of children’s laughter, in the motion of every stirring wind. I love you, Brad.” The necklace is said to have run Brad $2000, that he gave her along with a portrait of Pax.

However, both parties are denying the gift exchange. Brad joked to Extra, “I’m much better than that … I’m much smoother than that.” Angelina agreed: “It’s not true. I got something else.” But she didn’t tell us what. Even if it wasn’t poetry, I bet Brad pulled out all the stops. He had to after Shiloh’s birthday.

On when she’s most talkative:

“I don’t know how he does it, but … I talk a lot in the bath. It’s easier to talk when you’re naked … Get naked with me, and I’ll talk!”

On her growing relationship with Brad Pitt:

“I think we both went on a lot of faith �” we really did. Our family has grown very quickly, and we have a lot of responsibility together, and we acknowledge that we are lucky we turned out be for each other everything we’d hoped. We could have been very wrong, but every challenge we hit has brought us closer. It has been that kind of relationship.”

On good dad Brad:

“It’s hot. There’s nothing sexier than a man who is a great father.”

On being especially happy for son Maddox:

“I’m so happy for my children �” especially Mad. I didn’t know if he was ever going to have a dad. So when I watch them having real strong father-son time, or even when Mad tells me, ‘This is a boy thing, Mom’ �” it’s just really beautiful to see.”

On Pax’s underwear trouble:

“I’m still having trouble convincing Pax that underwear and pants go together – underwear is not pants!”

On Zahara undoing her hair:

“You do her hair; She takes it out. It’s like everybody just starts to undress once you’ve gotten them dressed.”

Oh Shiloh recently learning how to walk:

“So she’s falling and trying to eat everything in the place.

As photos surface of Brad Pitt, 43, picking up his children from school in Prague or Angelina Jolie taking her sons to an aquarium in France, one element is constant: Angie and Brad are never with each other while they’re with their kids.

In fact, insiders reveal, Brad and Angie, 31, have made a conscious decision to alternate time with Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh so that they don’t expose their children to the tension that the couple feel when they’re together. “Brad and Angie have decided to take the parenting duties in turn, feeling the kids deserve to be spared the stress of their parents’ fighting,” says a friend close to Brad.

In our cover story this week, Life & Style explores Brad and Angelina’s novel parenting arrangement — and again raises the question of whether the couple can sustain their relationship as they face the demands of raising four children and traveling the world to meet their professional obligations. Do you think Brad and Angie will make it?

In a new interview with Reader’s Digest, Angelina Jolie reveals that Shiloh, her biological child with Brad Pitt, was deliberately conceived before Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston was final.

“Before I met Brad, I always said I was happy never to have a child biologically,” Jolie told the magazine. “Then, a few months after Z (adopted daughter Zahara) came home … I realized how much he loved them, that a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, ‘I want to try.’”

How is Jen taking the news? “Jen considered herself divorced when she and Brad were separated and couldn’t care less what happened after that,” says a source, adding that “Jen is not angry over the new revelation and thinks Shiloh is a cute baby.”

But another pal tells Us that Aniston, 38, hasn’t spoken to her ex in “a long time” and her feelings are less than friendly.

“Brad and Angelina are totally a joke to her,” says the insider.

Of course, it’s easier to keep a smile on her face now that Aniston is a single woman playing the field.

Well folks, KatieSugar is nearing in on a very important date…her first birthday! To commemorate this momentous occasion, I’m planning her a fabulous birthday extravaganza! KatieSugar is our very own little celebrity baby, so the party should rival the little birthday bashes of other fabulous famous baby girls: Suri, Violet, Ramona and Shiloh. The party is not until June, but it’s time to get the planning under way. A baby’s first birthday is a celebration more for the parents, family, and friends of the baby rather than for the baby itself. For a parent it’s one of the most memorable birthday’s in a child’s life, so I am going to do everything I can to make it as wonderful as possible for Lisa and Brian. The party will take its theme from the blue and pink stripes that grace the walls of Katie’s bedroom and the food will be inspired by all things little. So stay tuned all week for more on KatieSugar’s birthday. To see the invitation I’ll be sending to her grandparents, aunts, and uncles,

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is still too young to speak a full sentence �” but she’s already locked in a legal battle over her name!

Life & Style has learned that both Shiloh, 11 months, and mom Angelina Jolie, 31, have filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to block Hors Lá Monde Corp., a jewelry-design and fragrance company, from naming its latest perfume Shiloh.

Hors Lá Monde, a one-woman outfit owned by designer Symine Salimpour, 31, applied for the trademark last June. Since then, Shiloh and Angie, through their New York City lawyer, have received two 90-day extensions to prepare a case opposing Hors Lá Monde’s use of the name.

“The notice of opposition alleges that you will be damaged by the pending trademark,” says Thomas M. Wilentz, a trademark attorney in New York City. “Angelina must feel that people applying for ‘Shiloh’ need to get her consent.”

Life & Style contacted Salimpour recently in NYC, but she refused to comment on the case. Angelina’s rep could not be immediately reached for comment.

An insider close to the designer says the perfume has been in development in France for two years �” and that Salimpour did not name the perfume after Angie and Brad Pitt’s love child.

“The name is completely unrelated,” the insider says. “Symine is citizen of both France and Israel, but she identifies strongly with her Israeli roots �” it’s a spiritual thing for her. Shiloh is a Hebrew name that means ‘his gift.’”

The insider is one of just a few people who have smelled Shiloh, the perfume, and says it’s a woody scent with a faint whiff of patchouli.

Okay, this is absolute bollocks. Why would Brad even stay around a woman who would treat a child this way – this is just another case of tabloids making crap up because Brad’s not snorting coke or Angelina’s not shaving her head.

Angelina Jolie’s lack of affection for daughter Shiloh reportedly "tore Brad Pitt’s heart out".

The couple’s friends are said to be concerned that Angelina neglects Shiloh and favours her adopted children – five-year-old Cambodian son Maddox, three-year-old Vietnamese son Pax and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Angie never rocks Shiloh to sleep or feeds her, and Brad’s the one who gets up in the middle of the night with her."

It has also been claimed Pitt was left "stunned" when Jolie refused to hold her daughter just days after her recent return from Vietnam with newly adopted son Pax, telling him "she’s fine with you".

The source added: "That practically tore Brad’s heart out. Angie doesn’t change Shiloh’s diapers or hold her when she cries. One time Shiloh was having a tantrum and Angie just told Brad to quiet her down because she was upsetting the other kids."

What magical "source" is this? I’ll tell you who it is – it’s a minimum wage slave in the bowels of any tabloid mag. For shame!

Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven will split their mother’s $1.2 million life insurance policy between them, as instructed in her will.

Marcheline Bertrand lost her battle with cancer in January and now the details of her will have been made public.

In an attachment in her own writing, the late actress claims she’s still owed $180,000 in spousal support from her ex-husband Jon Voight.

She has named Jolie and Haven co-executors of her estate. Bertrand has also left $100,000 each to Jolie’s children Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.

Angelina Jolie has devoted herself over the past few years to helping orphaned children around the world, not only with her much-publicized adoptions but also through her work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations.

Angie, 31, is certainly praiseworthy for these things. But at home with her partner, Brad Pitt, 43, the nurturing that Angie gives to her adopted kids �” Maddox, 5, Pax, 3 and Zahara, 2 �” comes at the expense of the couple’s biological child, Shiloh, 10 months, insiders say.
