Angelina Jolie admits she struggled breastfeeding her 4-month-old twins, Knox and Viv, simultaneously.

“You think, ‘Ah, if anybody can do that, I can do that,’ she says in an interview on British show GMTV. “But it’s a lot harder than it looks in the books. I did that a few times, but [mostly] I would take turns. It just takes a long time.”

(In the books? Tricks like the “double football hold.”)

Jolie, 33, says she weaned the twins when they were 3 months old. “[That was] about as much as I could do,” she says.

So how does having six kids affect her Hollywood commitments with Brad Pitt?

“The only time it ever collides is if, you know, we’re trying to get ready for some event where we have to walk a carpet and somebody gets peed on, and figures, ‘Oh well, I guess we’ll be wearing that this evening,” she says.

But she doesn’t mind.

“We appreciate how much that keeps us focused on what’s important,” she says.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey to air Wednesday, Pitt called their kids “the funniest people I’ve ever met. And you know it really tells you - it’s a great mirror for yourself.

“It really tells you a lot about yourself and who you are and how you react to things,” he continues. “They make me better. They make me a better person as a father.”

In the December issue of Vogue, Jennifer Aniston opens up about Angelina Jolie — and then some.

When first asked about Jolie, Aniston asked the reporter, Jonathan Van Meter, to turn off the tape recorder for a moment.

She did, however, want to go on the record about one thing: She said she was bothered that Jolie felt the need to recount a detailed timeline of exactly how she fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. (Pitt was still married to Aniston at the time).

“There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” Aniston said. “I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss.”

Aniston then shook her head in disbelief.

“That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool,” Aniston said.

BRAD PITT

Asked if she ever speaks to Pitt, Aniston said that they have exchanged “a few very kind hellos … and congratulations on your babies.”

She stressed that the two “had an amicable split … The marriage didn’t work out.”

JOHN MAYER

As for her on-again romance with notorious womanizer John Mayer, Aniston (who said she still wants children) said, “People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense?”

“Love just shows up.”

Of Mayer bragging about dumping her the first time around, Aniston said, “Trust me, you’ll never see that happen again from that man.”

HER MOTHER

Aniston also said she and her mother Nancy are in the middle of a slow reconciliation that began after she split from Pitt.

Brad Pitt taped Oprah yesterday and apparently it was a good one. Oh, and as a bonus Cate Blanchett was on the show as well. There is a great recap of the taping which will air in a couple weeks but here are some highlights. Apparently Oprah thinks she is a woman of the people. She said that she would have invited Brad to be with her on election night on Chicago, but didn’t invite him because she was going to be with “everyday people.” The fact that she got there by limo didn’t seem to phase her. How did Brad get there? Took the El and “was shoulder to shoulder the whole way.” Umm, Oprah. When was the last time you took the train?

That was the first part of the interview and from there just took a nice leisurely stroll down a spiral that still hasn’t stopped. Brad seemed sensitive to tattoo questions but made it clear he has at least one for Angelina. No one asked about the Billy Bob tattoo Angelina had removed or the one she still has in a very private area that stares Brad in the face sometimes if you know what I mean.

Brad said he can only handle being with four of the kids at once but that isn’t going to stop them from having more. I wonder how that rotation things work. All the kids shuttle in and out like you were playing volleyball and rotating after every point. “OK Pax, you’re up. Shiloh. You hit the showers.”

Even though Brad did not appear to have a very good time, Oprah still held onto him like Bella onto Edward running through the forest as they left the stage. You like that? Yeah, I keep up.

Apparently Cate isn’t a big enough star to get solo time with Oprah so she had to share her five minutes.

She may be the most photographed woman in the world. But even Angelina Jolie can fly under the radar.

The actress – who recently returned from a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan – made a surprise appearance at Monday night’s Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala, where she payed tribute to director Clint Eastwood.

In fact, Jolie’s appearance was so unexpected, the A-list crowd gasped audibly when she was introduced.

The mother-of-six took time out of her busy schedule to present Eastwood – who helmed her most recent move, The Changeling – with the director of the year award.

“There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they’ll live up to what we imagine them to be,” she told the audience. “And Clint Eastwood in person is even better.”

“Clint is what every great director should be,” she continued. “He is a great leader. And I certainly would follow him anywhere.”

That admiration appears to be mutual.

As he accepted the honor, Eastwood noted, “Working with someone like Angelina Jolie is a great privilege, because you get to look on that gorgeous beauty every day. And she’s a great talent.”

The two walked arm-in-arm from the stage. Then Jolie, wearing a floor-sweeping black gown and minimal makeup, slipped out of the event as stealthily as she’d arrived.

If Angelina Jolie finally marries Brad Pitt, he can thank that smelly green ogre Shrek. “Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage. Children are an afterthought,” says Jolie. “We did everything backwards. But sooner or later, it will be the kids who ask us. They see films and start asking questions. Such as, ‘Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you’re not?’ ”

The “Changeling” actress also told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair that she may quit acting.

“The kids are my priority, so it’s possible that from now on, I will make fewer movies. I may even stop altogether. I no longer have the ambition I had in my 20s.”

The 33-year-old mom of six added: “My life is a lot more chaotic and adventurous now. Brad and I pilot airplanes, we travel nonstop, we go to difficult places, and we have chosen to do it taking all of the kids with us. I feel a lot braver now than when I was an angry young woman.”

Gone are the days when Jolie scarred herself with knives and considered suicide. “I used to think I was unstable, because I had this thirst for something.
“I could never figure out what it was. I couldn’t sleep at night, and I always wanted to be somewhere else, and I have a window tattooed, this little box, and it’s because wherever I was, I wanted to be somewhere else. And I always saw myself - wherever I was in life - staring out the window.

“I knew little about the world, and I was completely self-absorbed. It was only when I came out of my shell and started taking care of others that I found the real Angelina.

“Sure, I am still restless, but do you know that my kids are the same way? We were in France these last few months and after a while they started asking when we could get back on a plane.”

The family is currently in Germany, where Pitt is filming Quentin Tarantino’s World War II drama “Inglorious Bastards.”

Like mother, like son!

Angelina Jolie says she is passing down her knife obsession to her seven-year-old son Maddox.

“My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12,” Jolie says in the new issue of W magazine. “And I’ve already bought Maddox some.”

The actress has long been obsessed with knives.

In a 2003 interview with 20/20, she admitted that, as a teen, she once had a relationship that involved ritual self-mutilation.

“I got knives out and had a night where we attacked each other… it felt so primitive and it felt so honest… and then I had to deal with, you know, not telling my mother, hiding things, wearing gauze bandages to high school,” she said.

She said she no longer engages in such activities now that she’s a mother.

Brad Pitt once again became a photographed Angelina Jolie for a magazine and this time the cover shot for W is him capturing Angelina Jolie breast feeding one of the twins. Brad Pitt did a great job capturing a natural Angelina Jolie doing something so natural. I means she just looks so gorgeous and happy, that this is the Angelina Jolie I would rather see walking the red carpet. 

While I don’t normally advocate breast feeding pictures, this one was too gorgeous not to post.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and the Brangelina Bunch are all in NY for the premiere of her new movie Changeling. Her trip to NY is her first public appearance since the twins were born in July and as you can see she added their birth date to her arm.

Angelina Jolie looks amazing, so how did she get her figure back so quickly, will six be enough for Brad and Angelina and where are they looking to settle down, here are the answers to those questions from OK Magazine.

Her Body:

“Run around with all the kids, and breastfeeding, which I think is part of your body’s natural way of losing weight,” Angelina said at the Changeling premiere held during the New York Film Festival Saturday.

More Kids?:

“We are going to have more kids,” revealed the Oscar winner. “One way or another.”

Where to next?:

“We love France. We’d like to spend more time there again. We’ve got a lot of wonderful friends. We love the air, and the life, and the other children we met. It was a beautiful, beautiful quality of life and beautiful place to live.”

After NY, the 8 fly back to Berlin where Brad will start filming Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards with Eli Roth and Mike Myers.

Jolie is in town to promote her buzzed-about Clint Eastwood drama Changeling.

She is set to make her first red carpet appearance since welcoming twins Knox and Vivienne at Saturday’s premiere. (The premiere also marks the first time the actress has been in the United States since giving birth.)

You know what I want to see? I want to see a skit on SNL where Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton are talking on the phone. Apparently the way to get Billy Bob to talk during an interview is to ask him about his music or about Angelina. Ask him about one of those subjects and you can’t get the guy to shut up.

Well, in an interview he gave yesterday he said that he and Angelina are still best friends. This doesn’t appear to be one of those generic statements guys say about their exes where they claim they are best friends and she really can’t stand the guy.

I got the feeling from the interview that Billy Bob talks to Angelina almost every day. Now, if they were just friends I guess that would be ok. But, he has made it very clear that he thinks that he and Angelina will get back together someday and they plan on making another film together. So, what does Brad think about this? What would any guy think about it. You either have to be one hell of a secure person or just don’t give a crap one way or the other.

I can just hear Billy Bob calling and Brad picking up.

Billy Bob - How ya doing sport? Are you guys on Ocean’s 36 now yet? Yeah, keep cashing those paychecks. You bending over for Clooney or is it the other way around? Is Angie around, I have a question about this time she gave me a blowjob on a motorcycle while I was driving. Damn she is a helluva lady. Did I tell you about the time she picked up these two girls from McDonalds, and, oh never mind. Go get the lil darlin for me will you. Thanks sport.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given $2 million to fund a children’s health clinic in Ethiopia, where their 3-year-old daughter Zahara was born.

The center, which will focus on serving children with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, will be run by the Global Health Committee.

“It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission,” Pitt said in a statement.

The Jolie-Pitts run a similar clinic in Cambodia - where their 7-year-old son Maddox was born - called Maddox Chivan Children’s Center.

“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease,” Jolie said in a statement.

“The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable,” Pitt added.

This week, the power couple ranked sixth on Parade magazine’s list of the most generous celebrities. They gave $8.4 million in 2007.

Comedienne Joan Rivers has found a new target for her hard-hitting gags — Hollywood superstar and Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie.

The sharp-tongued Rivers dished to reporters during an interview with GMTV, “Well, I’ve worked with stupid actresses — I’ve worked with Angelina Jolie — she saw a sign that said ‘WET FLOOR’ one time, and she did!” Rivers adds, “I mean, she’s attractive, but not a bright girl — stunningly beautiful, but stupid.”

Rivers made headlines in June after expelling a potty-mouthed rant about actor Russell Crowe — and getting the boot from British TV!

It pays to live in France. Literally!

With their brood of six kids, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are eligible for almost $2,600 a month in child benefits – though it’s highly unlikely the couple will accept the cash.

Just before the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne, the movie stars moved into the Chateau Miraval in the south of France.

Pitt, 44, registered the family at the town hall in nearby Brignoles – making them qualify for France’s generous parenting subsidies. (The benefits are available to all families, regardless of their financial means.)

No one expects the Jolie-Pitt clan to cash in, but they are technically eligible for a “nanny payment” of $975.84 a month, not to mention an “orphan allowance” of $508.97 for each of their three adopted children. The grand total, $2,592.81, would be payable by check each month.

“We do not discuss individual benefits cases,” said a spokeswoman for the Brignoles council. “But [we] can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”

Angelina Jolie’s “Wanted” character will be spoofed by Carmen Electra in the upcoming satire flick Disaster Movie.

Carmen Electra, who is a 36-year-old actress, explained during Comic Con in San Diego, California: “When we shot the scene, the movie wasn’t even out yet. We literally just watched one scene in the trailer and sort of spoofed that.”
The stunning actress says she’s not concerned about Angelina Jolie’s reaction because it’s “not anything personal, saying: “It was more about the bullet and sort of bending it the way her character did.”
Her co-star Kim Kardashian thinks that Angelina Jolie will approve the spoof. The 27-year-old actress revealed: “She’s going to think it’s hot, because Carmen looks hot, and did it justice. It’s all good.”
Kim Kardashian, for her part, spoofs High School Musical. The stunning actress admitted: “I guess it might have been Vanessa Hudgens’ character, but I don’t really know who I was because I haven’t seen the movie.”
She revealed: “I do love all the High School Musical girls – They are all adorable. My little sisters have seen the movie dozens of times.”
The two actresses told Us they had a blast working together. Carmen Electra added: “It was kind of weird because we met and then all of a sudden we had to get into the ring and fight.”
Kim Kardashian added, “And when Carmen would pull my hair she kept asking, ‘Are you all right? Did I hurt you?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah I’m okay.’”
