They both look hot (even if I don’t love Brad’s leather pants).
Tell me – did you think they’d last this long? The couple have been together since filming ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ in 2005.

After attending the premiere of ‘Mega Mind,’ Brad Pitt and Angeliana Jolie leave the kids at home as they grab dinner at renowned Italian restaurant La Stresa near the Champs Elysees.
What do you think of Brad’s leather pants!?

According to People.com, Ben Affleck lets the little lady do all the Christmas shopping for family and friends.
“I’m not particularly proud of it. But it’s a bit of a ’50s thing, I guess,” Affleck, 38, tells Ellen DeGeneres of the couple’s holiday-shopping arrangements in an interview airing Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“Because my wife is so capable and because I’m less so, she does a lot of that work, and I kind of root her on. I’m encouraging.”
Affleck explains that Jennifer Garner, 38, is just an efficient Christmas-shopping machine, while he sits around sputtering over the single gift for which he’s most responsible. (more…)
Johnny Depp’s flamboyant portrayal of Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean” was good enough for an Oscar nomination, but the actor says Disney was less than thrilled.
Depp talked about it in an interview with rocker Patti Smith for the January edition of Vanity Fair magazine. Depp said Disney “couldn’t stand” his Sparrow and one person there even asked if Sparrow was gay. Depp told the Disney executive “all my characters are gay,” and he said that “really made her nervous.”
Depp’s next role is in the movie “The Tourist” with Angelina Jolie. It opens Dec. 10. Here is part of his interview with Vanity Fair.
On meeting Angelina Jolie:
‘Meeting her and getting to know her was a real pleasant surprise,’ Johnny Depp tells rock legend Patti Smith, writing for Vanity Fair, of working with Angelina Jolie on their upcoming film, The Tourist. ‘You don’t know what she might be like; if she has any sense of humor at all. I was so pleased to find that she is incredibly normal, and has a wonderfully kind of dark, perverse sense of humor.’
On the challenges he and his co-star faced with constant media scrutiny on set:
‘Poor thing, dogged by paparazzi, her and her husband, Brad…all their kids. There are times when you see how ridiculous is this life, how ludicrous it is, you know, leaving your house every morning and being followed by paparazzi.’
On the difficulties that arose while filming together/ having to be discreet to avoid unwarranted speculation:
‘[We had] to hide, sometimes not even being able to talk to each other in public because someone will take a photograph and it will be misconstrued and turned into some other ****.’
On how Disney hated his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow:
‘They couldn’t stand him. They just couldn’t stand him,’ Depp says of Disney’s reaction to his controversial interpretation of Sparrow. ‘I think it was Michael Eisner, the head of Disney at the time, who was quoted as saying, ‘He’s ruining the movie.”
MORE INTERVIEW – AND ANOTHER PIC AFTER THE JUMP! (more…)
Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has been reunited at home with her little girl. Indiana authorities returned Leah, 2, to Portwood, 20, on Monday, Nov. 29, a source tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.
“Leah is moving into Amber’s new home, where Amber had her daughter’s bedroom all set up for her return,” the source says of Portwood, who lives in Anderson, Indiana. “Amber is so excited to have Leah back!”
On Wednesday, Radaronline reported that Leah was temporarily made a ward of the state — meaning that her guardianship would be determined by a judge and overseen by a government agency.
Portwood and ex-fiance Gary Shirley had earlier agreed that Leah was better off living with her father. for the time being “Child Protective Services agreed it was safer for her to stay at Gary’s because of all the photographers outside my house,” Portwood explained to Us Weekly in early November.
The MTV star had told Us that living without Leah was “the lowest of the low. Every night she’s been saying, ‘Where’s Mommy?’”
On Nov. 18, Portwood was charged by Anderson police for attacking Shirley, 24, in front of Leah; she is faced with two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence and battery.
The mother — who is currently taking meds to cope with anxiety and depression — told Us previously: “I’m trying to put the pieces back together…I have to get myself better so when I get my baby back, she sees her mom as happy as can be.”
Pink, who is a little more than three months pregnant, says she and husband Carey Hart are halfway there when it comes to naming their baby.
If it’s a boy, says the singer, their first child will be called Jameson.
“My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason,” Pink, 31, told Access Hollywood.
“[Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson — we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”
There’s just one problem: Their doctor believes they’re expecting a girl. And, says Pink, finding the perfect name has been a struggle.
“We’re all over the place,” she says of the naming process. “I’m all about meaning, and Carey feels like he had a girl’s hair cut and a girl’s name, and he doesn’t want kids to have a weird name. I have to get him on the boat for originality, so I’m working on him.”
Even though she’s chosen a boy’s name that evokes a brand of whiskey, Pink says she’s not tempted to drink alcohol at all — even if the doctor okays it.
“You know what? I thought I’d be like that – I couldn’t even comprehend someone not wanting wine,” the “Raise Your Glass” singer says. “But honestly, I just don’t. I don’t want anything bad.”
In an article called “Actors on Actors” Julia Roberts opens up about her friend Natalie Portman, and seeing her in December’s ‘Black Swan’. (Makes me want to see the movie even more!)
“It is an interesting endeavor, watching a friend in a film. It is a risk to agree to write an article about a friend in a film. With someone like my subject today, Natalie Portman, it seemed worth the risk. She is always lovely, always watchable, always interesting. Then there is ‘Black Swan.’ If only I could reach out from the page now and offer you a glass of terribly good wine and ask you to sit a while.
Natalie Portman in the new film by Darren Aronofsky is a ballerina. I cannot think of anything more accurate and complimentary to say about her in this role: She is a ballerina! One is so lost in the aching beauty, the elegant moves and the quiet mania of her pursuits, she, Natalie, ceases to exist.
It is an intense and at times brutal film to watch. There were times when I was watching through tiny cracks in my quaking fingers. But to see her in this role was worth the one night of tossing and turning.
I, as many, first fell deeply in love with Natalie in Luc Besson’s film ‘The Professional.’ A performance like the one she delivers in ‘Black Swan’ affirms that my professional admiration for her was well placed. Now as the years have kindly made her a li’l friend (that’s a joke for Natalie), I am simply beaming with pride for her and want only to have her over to our home to hug her, tell her all the wondrous things we think of her, rub her weary feet and make her the biggest, most delicious dinner she could ever eat!”
