^^I wish them all the happiness in the world. I love Brad and Angie together.
Even with all the statements of doom and people that seem to be stuck on wanting them to break up...I am so happy to hear this news and I love them together also!
I bet the paparrazzi are making their travel arrangements right now.
actually, mine worked together with my grandfather - but she was lucky bec she had her mother living with her... still, she was pretty pregnant for the most part of her life and she was working, so...
Here's an interesting article on MSN about Angie not eating because she is still grieving for the loss of her mother.. poor woman.
Despite her joy in adding a fourth adorable tot to the melting pot she's cooking up with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is so brokenhearted over the January passing of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, that she's been left with an empty stomach and featherweight figure, says her older brother.
"Angie has become very thin because she's grieving," James Haven tells the London Daily Mail. "It's even difficult for her to eat. I keep saying to her, 'Don't forget to eat.'"
Us Weekly recently reported that the perpetually globe-crossing actress was carrying only 109 pounds on her 5-foot-8-inch frame, a weight loss her doppelganger brother says is understandable given the sad circumstances.
"But you know she doesn't pay much attention to food anyway and she's been going through a process of grief like me," he explains. "She has not wanted to eat, nor has she been able to."
In addition to the ostensibly nonexistent state of Jolie's appetite, Haven also dishes about their estranged father, Jon Voight, whom he says was "so tough on our mother" when they were growing up. What's more, he laments, the actor has yet to properly express his sympathies over Bertrand's death from cancer at the age of 56.
"My dad left a voicemail message that was very kind, wishing condolences to me and my sister. That was what he did," reveals Haven in a tone the paper describes as "heavy with sarcasm." "At some point I've got to be able to let my bitterness and anger towards him go and I'm working on that now."
Sighs the uncle of Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax, "I believe my mother's in a better place. What I have to deal with is that there's no such thing as him making amends now -- he's lost his chance and that just makes me and Angelina even more upset."
It's not the only thing that makes him upset: He also takes issue with the long-simmering suspicions that his brotherly bond with Angelina has a wee bit of a "Flowers in the Attic" bent.
The whispers, you'll recall, went into overdrive after the siblings' infamously squicky smooch just before Jolie climbed on stage at the 2000 Oscars to collect her award for "Girl, Interrupted" ("I'm in shock. And I'm so in love with my brother right now," Angie told the squirming audience. "He just held me and said he loved me").
"I did not give Angie a French kiss," huffs Haven of their lip-lock. "It was something simple and lovely."
Less lovely, he tells the paper, were the lack of luxuries they had as kids despite their famous dad, including a dearth of wheels during his formative high school years, a teen trauma the not-at-all hyperbole-prone Haven describes as "one of the saddest things in my life."
"Try to imagine. You go to Beverly Hills High, one of the wealthiest high schools in the nation. Even the cheapest car that anyone has is brand new," he resentfully recalls. "All my friends are well off. I have a movie-star father and no car. It was debilitating. I did not go to the prom because I felt uncomfortable that Dad would have to drive me. It's an embarrassing thing."
Not quite overflowing with sympathy over his plight? Maybe this will help: "The significant years of dating and getting to know yourself, I didn't experience any of that," he kvetches. "I didn't experience what I think is one of the most important times in a person's life, and neither did Angelina. It affected both of us."
For Jolie, their vehicle disadvantaged youth taught her a valuable life lesson, according to her brother: "Angie has been driven to be an independently wealthy woman now because we saw what it was like to be at the mercy of someone who controls the money and pulls the strings."

^^That probably has a lot to do with why she is so independent (his last sentence)...I can totally believe that.
Angelina Jolie to adopt again
2nd April 2007 12:30:03
Angelina Jolie is planning to adopt for the fourth time, it has been claimed.
The actress - who recently adopted Vietnamese son Pax Thien, and also has a Cambodian son Maddox and Ethiopian daughter Zahara - reportedly wants to adopt a girl from Chad to "balance the family".
A source discussing Angelina's family - which also consists of Cambodian son Maddox, Ethiopian daughter Zahara and Angelina's natural daughter Shiloh with lover Brad Pitt - said: "Angelina and Brad want to make sure Zahara doesn't feel alienated as the only black face in their family.
"She feels the children need a balance of faces in their life."
Angelina is said to have fallen in love with a one-year-old girl from Oure Cassoni and asked her lawyers to begin the adoption process.

i agree that not having a car isn't something to be mad at your dad about but i do think that he was probably very disheartened by it. considering who his father was and where he went to school. if its true what he said about how everyone had a car... then that's pretty bad..
These celebrities are so spoiled. Jon Voight's kids need to grow up and get over 'not having a car'. How pathetic is that? People have real problems in the world.... if that's what their grievances are with their father... that's just lame.
I will believe the marriage rumor after they have completed the ceremony.
I hope the rumor about adopting another child from Chad is just a rumor as well. They have got 4 kids under the ago of 5 and both parents work a lot. I hope adoption is not some addiction that Angelina has taken up.
I feel like telling them - make a good home for the kids you already have, get the latest one settled and feeling secure (and speaking English) before you add to the mix.
Angelina has got 3 movies lined up, I doubt Brad will be a stay at home father during all that time. Mostly I want to tell them both - put your kids ahead of your careers. Peggy

ITA, she is collecting kids like some of us buy handbags!
& the car story is beyond belief!
I have no time for these people!
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes it's better to say nothing than to say things like this. Ridiculous.
