Brad Pitt bought Angelina Jolie lingerie for her birthday on June 4. The Inglourious Basterds actor – flew from Los Angeles to the couple’s rented Long Island, NY mansion to throw a special surprise party for the mother of six last week.
A source tells In Touch Weekly: “Brad made an effort to be with Angelina. He was really hoping they would get along and enjoy themselves.”

“He presented her with a specially commissioned painting of their family, as well as lingerie from Angelina’s favorite store, Agent Provocateur.”

Using her celebrity to bring attention to a horrible crisis, Angelina Jolie has penned an article for Time magazine urging people to end the violence in Darfur.

Speaking of International Criminal Court’s Darfur investigation, the “Wanted” actress wrote, “The evidence the prosecutor has presented is clear and compelling. millions of people have been displaced and hundreds of thousands have been killed.”

She continued, “Darfur has almost disappeared from the news, and experts now call it a ‘low intensity’ conflict.  But the intensity of the crisis has not lessened for those who are struggling to survive.”

“More than 250,000 people from Darfur have lived destitute lives in refugee camps in Chad for six years now.  Camps with more than two million internally displaced persons inside Darfur are even worse. Thirty percent of those displaced are school-age children. Girls leaving the camps are raped; boys leaving the camps are killed. They want an education; they want to go back to their villages, to their land; they want peace. But they also want justice.”

She’s arguably the hottest woman in Hollywood, and today (June 4) Angelina Jolie is celebrating her 34th birthday!

The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress has been hard at work on her new film “Salt” out in New York City, but hopefully she’ll get some time off of her busy schedule to celebrate with family and friends.

And as a birthday present, Miss Jolie has been named to the top of the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, knocking perennial favorite Oprah Winfrey out of the #1 spot.

Meanwhile, Angelina and partner/babydaddy Brad Pitt are definitely not splitting up, despite a report that claimed the couple was calling it quits.  Their rep told press that the rumors are “not true.”

Giving everyone on-hand quite the scare, Angelina Jolie was reportedly taken to the hospital after an on-set injury in Long Island on Friday (May 29).

The incident occurred on the set of “Salt,” with TMZ reporting that Miss Jolie “bumped her head, getting some sort of nick in between her eyes.”

When crew members noticed that she was also bleeding a bit from the mishap, she was soon taken to a nearby hospital.

The latest reports tell that the injury occurred during the course of a stunt, with her manager confirming that the “Wanted” actress will be just fine.

Enjoying his time in New York City while partner Angelina Jolie is hard at work, Brad Pitt was spotted picking up a car from a parking garage yesterday (May 15).

The “Fight Club” stud looked hunky as he waited for his ride to arrive, sporting a grey button-up shirt with black trousers, black shoes, and a pair of aviator sunglasses.

In related news, it seems Mr. Pitt has created quite a stir at daughter Shiloh’s school, as he’s been showing up to pick her up, and has even been reading books to the class.  And the other students’ mothers are eating it up.

An inside source told press, “[The parents in town] are off the charts excited and everyone is dolled up.  The moms are trying to look a little bit more polished. Instead of schlepping in sweat pants and messy hair, now they wear designer jeans and high heels, which they never wear. Usually it’s Tod’s or Gucci loafers. Everyone is putting a little more effort. Let’s face it – he’s a handsome guy.”

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have topped a poll asking American moms which celebrities they would feel most comfortable leaving their children with.

The Emmy-winning talk show host and the actress – who were married in August – beat serial parents of six Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the ParentDish.com poll of more than 10,000 moms.

Rocker Courtney Love took the title of “Worst Celebrity Mom” in the poll.

Two explosive tell-all books focusing on celebrity twosome Brad & Angelina will be hitting booksellers’ shelves later this year. One book is the work of former Brangelina bodyguard Mickey Brett, but it is the dish served up on the pages of Andrew Morton’s account on the celebrity lovers that will really set tongues wagging.

According to the fiery investigative reporter, as a teenager, Angelina seduced the boyfriend of her late mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand.

According to Morton’s insiders, via, Star Magazine: “March and her guy had a huge fight, and Angie saw her chance to seduce him.Angie cried and begged March to forgive her. Of course, March did.”

Movie star Angelina Jolie and bestselling author Patricia Cornwall are teaming up for a new crime film expected to be another blockbuster.

Fox 2000 is acquiring the film rights to Cornwall’s famed protagonist, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a fictional medical examiner who appears in the scribe’s sixteen books. The studio is developing the main role as an acting vehicle for the "Changeling" star.

As per Variety, the new film, which is being planned to be developed into a franchise, won’t be tied specifically to any of the 16 Scarpetta novels. The practice is much like Universal Pictures’ Jason Bourne series. All the three "Bourne" films were not locked with the Robert Ludlum’s novels.

Mark Gordon will produce with Geyer Kosinski of Media Talent Group. Bryan Zuriff will executive produce.

Jolie is currently shooting the action thriller "Salt" for Columbia Pictures. It will be released in 2010.

ANGELINA JOLIE feels ”happier” than ever.

The actress, who raises six children
with Brad Pitt, loves the way her life has changed since becoming a mother.

Angelina – whose mother Marcheline Bertrand passed away in 2007 – said: "I’m much happier and more fulfilled than I thought I would ever be, especially when I was going through a lot of grief when I was younger. I hope it lasts."

"I think I’m becoming more like my mother and looking more like her too as I get older. I’m also more gentle and nurturing since becoming a mother."

Angelina has never struggled to juggle the demands of her personal and professional life, but says Brad has found it more difficult to adjust.

She added to Britain’s Closer magazine: "I’m very organized. I don’t get stressed and I take everything in my stride. I’ve had to help Brad a bit with that part of our life!"

"The biggest problem is just lack of sleep. But all parents face that – you’re just grateful when the kids fall asleep and you can collapse on the couch together."

Angelina has been dogged by rumors she plans to quit acting and admits she doesn’t see herself making movies forever.

She said: "I’m not as ambitious as I used to be – my family
is my priority. When we get film offer, we ask ourselves, ‘Will it be good for the family?’"

"At some point I want to relax, look after my family and do more humanitarian work."

London, March 24 (IANS) Hollywood star Angelina Jolie is causing concern on the sets of her new film ‘Salt’ with a new diet called liquid detox.

The ‘Tomb Raider’ actress aims to shed 21 pounds in just 21 days for her role in the film as a CIA officer unmasked as a Russian spy and she is raising eyebrows as everyone thinks she has a fantastic figure to lose, reports thesun.co.uk.

The diet – living on a mixture of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup – is also leaving her weak.

‘She does all her own stunts but we worry she could injure herself due to the weight loss,’ said a source from the film’s unit.
