Add jewelry design to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s resume.

The two have completed a limited edition collection of gold jewelry and silver accessories called The Protector — which is inspired by the snake (see photo left) — for high-end jeweler Asprey.

Women’s Wear Daily reports that Pitt, 45, and Jolie, 34, have been working on the project for more than a year and that their pieces will go on sale at Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai this week.

Prices start at $525 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle. Other items in the collection: Silver baby gifts such as the spoon, an eggcup, tooth box and picture frame, as well as pendants and rings made from gold and micropavé diamonds, all featuring curving snakes.

Why the snake theme? According to WWD, Jolie was given a ring (not from Asprey) in the shape of a snake while pregnant with Shiloh and considers the reptile a protector of her family.

Proceeds go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Jolie co-founded in 2006. The organization raises awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.

Jolie declined to talk about their collection, but said in a statement: “These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place — to just be children. Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.”

It isn’t Pitt’s first time designing.

In 1996, after getting engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow, he gave her a simple diamond ring that he designed with the help of Italian jeweler Damiani. After wedding Jennifer Aniston in 2000, he collaborated with Damiani to design the wedding bands.

After a seven-year rift, Jon Voight tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now) that he and Angelina Jolie have reconciled.

“We’re in touch, but not regularly,” Voight, 70, confirms to Us Weekly. “We love each other and that’s the most important thing.”

Jolie, 34, stopped speaking to him in 2001 after a teary Voight appeared on Access Hollywood and pleaded for her to seek help for her “serious mental problems.”

But in February, “they met face-to-face” and have been talking ever since, a family friend tells the new Us Weekly.

“Angie made the initial contact,” says the pal. “Brad [Pitt] has been supportive – a key factor in her reaching out.”

Johnny Depp is eyeing the chance to go traveling with Angelina Jolie – he is in talks to step into Tom Cruise’s shoes in The Tourist.

Jolie stepped up to replace Charlize Theron in the remake of 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer after the South African beauty was forced to drop out.

Cruise was also slated to star, but pulled out of his part to team up with Vanilla Sky co-star Cameron Diaz in a new movie.

Aussie actor Sam Worthington was reported to have accepted the role, but has since dropped out – and Depp has now been lined up for the lead part, according to Variety.

The film tells the tale of a female agent on the hunt for an elusive ex-boyfriend, who becomes a wanted man.

We’ve been waiting for this onscreen pairing for eons: The coolest actor in Hollywood opposite the most beautiful and enigmatic — yes, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie will be co-starring in a remake of The Tourist.

Johnny, 46, is in talks to replace Terminator Salvation hunk Sam Worthington, who has pulled out of the male lead role opposite Angelina.

The mom-of-six signed on to replace Charlize Theron who was originally attached to the project.

The movie, which is a remake of a 2005 French spy thriller called Anthony Zimmer, involves a female Interpol agent who uses an American tourist visiting France as bait for a wanted criminal who also happens to be her former lover.

What is it with Angelina, 33, and these international espionage roles? The trailer for her movie Salt was released this week and features all the usual Angie elements: guns, high-speed chases and running from sinister spymasters.

Proof that Angelina is a natural beauty, and doesn’t need to resort to plastic surgery! She looks beautiful! I’m not going to buy the pictures – but you can see them over at Pop Eater! CLICK HERE to see a beautiful 16 year old Angelina!

Brad Pitt has his back tattooed with a series of bizarre lines after partner Angelina Jolie sketched the design on his body during a boring night in.

The movie star sparked speculation about the tattoo’s meaning when he debuted it last year. But Jolie, who shares her partner’s fondness for ink, admits the horizontal lines across the mid-section of his back was just something she did during a dull night in while they were attending the World Economic Forum.

She tells Entertainment Weekly, “One night we didn’t have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.

“He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.

“It’s meaningful in that it’s us making angles and shapes out of each other’s body, that kind of a thing.”

Raising six kids under the age of 9 is a difficult task, and Angie herself admits that life is “absolute chaos at times.” Which makes her state­ments in a new interview all the more shocking: For the first time, she’s confirmed that she and Brad Pitt, 45, plan to adopt again — and have another biological child. “I can see further additions to the family — both adopted and our own,” Angelina, 34, tells the British magazine Stylist in its October issue.

Brad and Angie plan to add another two children, if not more, to their family, confirms an insider close to the couple. “They want one more biological baby and an adopted baby — for now,” the insider says. “But who knows what the future holds. Some people get addicted to drugs and alcohol, but Brad and Angie are addicted to children.”

Why the need to adopt again? Angelina’s work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees exposes her to children mired in poverty and war worldwide, and she’s motivated by a noble impulse to help. In Syria, the U.N.’s Al-Achi tells Life & Style, “Angelina and Brad both took time to play around with the children they visited.” But their desperate desire to save needy kids comes at the expense of the six they already have. “Rescuing children out of third world countries is wonderful, but it’s very stressful each time another person who has his or her own needs and demands and who’s also competing for attention and love is brought into a family,” says psycho­therapist Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids.

And Angelina clearly realizes that she’s being stretched too thin. “We have to make sure we can devote enough time to each of them,” she tells Stylist, referring to Maddox, 8, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and 15-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. “There’s always one of ours demanding that I help color in something very important with crayons.”
