Angelina Jolie is a “cool mommy”

Angelina Jolie

There’s no doubt that meeting Angelina Jolie can be nerve-wracking – but her Wanted costars say the superstar mom is incredibly down-to-earth.

“It’s a little intimidating, someone like her who is presented as a goddess. [But] it takes, like, 30 seconds and you figure out she’s just a cool woman,” Wanted actor Thomas Kretschmann said at the film’s press day Monday.

The German actor, who plays an assassin in the action flick out June 27, also described Jolie as “a cool mommy.”

Kretschmann’s kids and the Jolie-Pitt youngsters “played together from time to time” on set, he said. “She knows exactly what she wants and she’s extremely smart.”

But Jolie isn’t the only “cool” person in her household. Costar Common calls Brad Pitt “a good dude.”

“We hung out and he was a cool cat,” said the rapper-turned-actor.

And Jolie? “She’s an incredible mother, a beautiful mother,” Common said. “She has so much realness to her.”

Angelina Jolie to launch a fragrance?

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is reportedly in talks to become the latest celebrity to launch a fragrance line.

Stars including Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani have all created their own highly successful perfume ranges.

And now Jolie is said to be working with French fragrance house Coty – the company that launched Sarah Jessica Parker’s signature scents – to create her own line of products.

A source tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, “Angelina wants a very strong input. She wouldn’t want a fragrance that she didn’t feel encapsulates her.”

Angelina Jolie cut her lines in Wanted

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie rewrote much of the script for her new action film Wanted – because she felt her tough girl character spoke too much.

The actress cut back on dialogue because felt her silence would speaker louder than words.

She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “It wasn’t that I cut them (lines) because they were bad. I just really felt like she didn’t talk very much. I really just said, “I don’t think I talk here. I don’t think I talk here either.”

Alicia Keys wants to adopt like Angelina Jolie

Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys wants to follow in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and adopt a brood of multi-racial children.

The singer insists she loves kids and working alongside South African orphans in 2006 charity movie We Are Together made her broody to have children of her own.

But the 28-year-old insists motherhood is on the backburner for now, while she pursues her singing career.

Speaking to WENN at a special screening of the movie in New York City on Thursday night, Keys said, “I’ve always loved kids. Kids are so important. It’s important to nurture and spend time with them and listen to them.

“I’m not ready to be a mom. But (adoption) is something that is important to consider. That’s what I really admire about Angelina. I think it’s beautiful the way she embraces children of the world.”

And she insists she would like to create a family of different cultures, like Jolie: “We are all one. We’re not as separate as we oftentimes think. So I possibly would (adopt), when I’m more in the motherhood stage of my life.”

Keys leads an intensely private personal life, but is rumoured to be dating and planning to marry record producer and business partner Kerry ‘Krucial’ Brothers.

Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt’s tattoo means nothing

Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has shattered the myth surrounding partner Brad Pitt’s new tattoo – it’s a scribble she created.

Experts suggested the series of lines on the actor’s back represented the levees in the couple’s adopted New Orleans, Louisiana, but Jolie insists the skin art means nothing at all.

She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “We went to Davos… (and) 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. I mean, it’s meaningful in that it’s us making angles and shapes out of each other’s body, that kind of a thing.”

Angelina Jolie Declares: Being Pregnant “Is Great for the Sex Life”

91970013.jpg

Um, I’d say being with Brad Pitt is great for the sex life. :)

33-year-old Angelina Jolie opened up in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly about her sex life with Brad Pitt, her impending delivery of twins and who she may be voting for this fall.

On Pregnancy and Her Sex Life:

“It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.”

On Having Twins:

“Well, we weren’t expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge. We really don’t know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can.”‘

On Brad’s Tattoo:

“I drew that. We went to Davos. It’s not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn’t have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back….It just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.”

On Maddox:

“Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He’s all into war and guns. So for Mother’s Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It’s really cute. I think it’s really good!”

On Being a Mother:

“I don’t think I really knew what it was to be a mom until these last few years. Especially the mom of an older son. It’s one thing playing the mom of a new baby, but my relationship with Maddox was very much on my mind and I just couldn’t shake the thought of him through the whole film [ Changeling.] He’s the one that I talk to the way I talk to the little boy in the movie. So I see the movie and Brad sees it and [we recognize] things in it — even just little things. The boy says, ‘Am I too heavy?’ Mad says that all the time. ‘Am I too heavy?’ ‘Oh, never! One day you’re going to carry me!’”

On Being Controversial:

“I’d like to think it’s because I’m not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that’s what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.”

On What to Call Brad:

“We have that problem all the time. I say ”partner” sometimes. ‘Father of my children’ is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, ‘So, your wife this, your husband that.’ We’ve stopped correcting everybody. It’s not a big intentional thing not to marry. We immediately were a family when we became a couple, and children were the priority, and we’re both legally committed to the children. And that seemed to be the right thing.”

On Going From a Goth to a Philanthropist:

“The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don’t see the point of doing an interview unless you’re going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I’m extremely human and have done some dark things, I don’t think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I’d like to think it’s the nice thing to do.”

On What Presidential Candidate She Supports:

“I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama.”
