Angelina Jolie Wears Engagement Ring to First Public Event!

Angelina Jolie Wears Engagement Ring to First Public Event!
It was a long way away from any Hollywood red carpet at Saturday's Sarajevo Film Festival in Sarajevo, Bosnia -- making it the perfect event for Angelina Jolie to publicly "debut" her gigantic engagement ring from Brad Pitt.

The Maleficent actress, 37, was first seen wearing the $500,000, tablet-shaped rock (co-designed by jeweler Robert Procop and Pitt, 48) in early April during a private viewing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Chinese Galleries. When an intrepid photographer snapped the bauble, Pitt's manager confirmed the long-awaited engagement to the world.

Since then, Jolie hasn't attended any red carpet events in Hollywood or elsewhere, with Pitt attending the Cannes Film Festival solo for the first time in years.

Clad in a silky, draped beige top, skinny black pants and black, peep-toe pumps, the Oscar-winning actress, skinny as ever, quietly flashed her news-making ring as she chatted with filmmakers at Saturday's event.

Named an Honorary Citizen of Sarajev, Jolie spoke with young actors, directors, screenwriters, producers and film critics from the region about her own writing and directorial debut, the dark Bosnian War romance In the Land of Blood and Honey.

The students, one attendee tells Us, were "impressed." When asked about her humanitarian work -- Jolie is now a Special Envoy for the UNHCR -- she explained that she "wants to give something back to underpriviledged people," the attendee added.

On Saturday afternoon, Jolie was spotted arriving at her hotel with daughter Shiloh, 6; the star and Pitt and their brood of six have been staying in London while she shoots Maleficent at Pinewood Studios.

As for that wedding?

"We actually, really and truly, have no date," Pitt, 48, said at Cannes in May.

"It's just something that makes sense to us, and certainly date-wise, it's just a rumor," he continued. "We're still hoping that we can figure out marriage equality in the states before that date."[usmagazine.com]

Vivienne, Knox Jolie-Pitt Visit Angelina Jolie On Maleficent Set!

Their mama looks Maleficent! Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt took an extra special field trip to visit mom Angelina Jolie on the set of her new flick, Maleficent, in Buckginhamshire, England Wednesday. (Jolie stars as Sleeping Beauty's nemesis in a reimagining of the fairy tale, told from the villainess' perspective.)

The pair took in the sights from afar initially, but got some one-on-one time with Jolie, 37, between takes.

"It's a really great script and I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted," Jolie said of taking on the iconic role in March. "My kids are very happy."

The actress added that she's thrilled to be a part of the unique version of the beloved fairy tale.

"It's not anti-princess, but it's the first time they're looking at this epic woman [in a different way]," she explained. "I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn't mean she can't have other [warmer] qualities. You have to figure out the puzzle of what she is."[usmagazine.com]

Katy Perry wears 'slime' bra  at the Kids' Choice Awards

Never one to shy away from making a fashion statement, Katy Perry showed off a few inches of her midriff in a neon green ensemble with matching peep toe heels on the orange carpet at the Kids' Choice Awards in LA on Saturday.

Jolie-Pitt Kids Tell Dad Brad: "Get Mommy a Ring!"

Brad Pitt may finally be ready to make an honest woman out of Angelina Jolie.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning (airing January 29), the Academy Award nominee says his six children are begging him to propose to In the Land of Blood and Honey director Jolie, 36.

"We're getting a lot of pressure from the kids," Pitt, 48, says. "It means something to them."

Pitt admits he hasn't "been very good" at explaining why he and Jolie have put marriage on hold since first becoming a couple in 2005. "We will someday. We will," Pitt promises. "That's a great idea."

When his brood of six -- Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and Knox and Vivienne, 3 -- asked him to "get mommy a ring," Pitt vowed: "Okay, I will! I will."

The Moneyball and Tree of Life actor adds that he's always been mindful of his children's desires -- especially when it pertains to his busy work schedule.

"You have less time to spend on a project," Pitt explains. "You come home and you're Dad. You're much more conscious of how much time you give to a production."[usmagazine.com]

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Take All 6 Kids to See Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas

The Jolie-Pitts hit Sin City!

On the eve of Brad Pitt's 48th birthday, the actor and his partner Angelina Jolie took their six kids -- Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3 -- to see Cirque de Soleil's staging of Michael Jackson: THE IMMORTAL World Tour Saturday.

Slipping into the day's early performance at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Pitt and Jolie, 36, sat with their family in the second row and even joined the rest of the audience in a standing ovation for the cast after the performance.

"The artists were pleasantly surprised by this unannounced visit," a source tells Us Weekly.

Hopefully the weekend outing will help up the famous parents' cool quotient, since Jolie has said her children don't consider them to be hip, despite their A-list status.

"Fortunately, I've scored some points at home because of Kung Fu Panda. They love Tigress, who is my alternate personality," Jolie recently told The Hollywood Reporter. "Otherwise, they think Brad and I are just so not cool."[usmagazine.com]

Brangelina Takes the Kids to the Toy Store

Brangelina Takes the Kids to the Toy Store
It looks like Christmas got started a few weeks early for the Jolie-Pitt clan! Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their pack of six kids -- Maddox, 10; Pax, 8; Zahara, 6; Shiloh, 5; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 3 -- paid a visit to the behemoth toy store FAO Schwarz in NYC on Wednesday. And it appears the little ones won't have to wait to get these goodies under the tree, since they were seen leaving with some of the loot.

Even though the family already has just as many kids as a diverse version of "The Brady Bunch," the "Salt" star says it could grow even bigger. "Nothing planned at the moment, but we just don't know," she recently revealed to Marie Claire magazine. "I could end up pregnant."

The real question, of course, is how do the 'rents have any time for romance in such a full house? (Um, multiple houses in their case.) "If they see Mommy and Daddy in need of some private time cause they're going to kiss and whatever, the kids get all giggly and happy -- because it gives them some security," she notes.[omg.yahoo.com]

Brad Pitt Rescues Woman While Filming World War Z

Brad Pitt isn't just a good-looking movie star: he's also an everyday hero!

The 47-year-old father of six was filming a scene for his new movie World War Z in Glasgow, Scotland Thursday when one of 700 extras stumbled to the ground and was nearly trampled.

Without hesitating, Pitt scooped the woman up and brought her back to her feet.

"Lots of people hurt themselves and Brad came to the rescue of one woman who slipped," a set source told The Scottish Sun. "I don't think she could believe it when Brad picked her up."

"He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly grazed knee."

The woman wasn't the only extra who was injured during the intense World War Z shoot. "Loads of extras suffered bumps and scrapes during the battle scene," the set insider revealed. "An extra playing a soldier was even hit by a moving car, ending up on the vehicle's bonnet, but fortunately he escaped unhurt."[omg.yahoo.com]

How Angelina Jolie and the Kids Are Handling London Riots

Angelina Jolie and the kids are staying calm and brave amid the violence and chaos in London.

Although the British capital is experiencing some of the worst rioting in its long history, Angelina Jolie and her six children with Brad Pitt aren't going anywhere -- for now.

With Pitt, 47, filming World War Z in Falmouth, Cornwall over five hours away, Jolie, 36, left the family's rented home in London's Richmond neighborhood Tuesday afternoon for a visit to Pottery Cafe. At the nearby spot, she and the kids -- Maddox, 10, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 2-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox -- painted and decorated pottery items.

"Angie was a little nervous, but felt safe," a source tells Us Weekly. "[Security] had an extra man on the job."

Indeed, a source tells Us the shocking civil unrest in the city unnerved the actress. "This morning, she was really scared and worried about the safety of the kids," the staffer tells Us. "But, as the day has gone by, we've been able to get a clear picture on what's going on. She felt safe enough to take the children out. Of course, we are not going anywhere near central London." (Located near a popular shopping thoroughfare, the family's Richmond-area home is about six miles from the city center; rioting has broken out in London suburbs as well as other English cities.)

Pitt, meanwhile, checks in from his movie set on the coast. Adds a second insider: "Brad is...worried. He's pretty safe because he's in Falmouth, but knowing Angie and the kids are in London is what's making him worried. He has been calling the house regularly, to make sure they are OK and calm."

"People should be in no doubt that we will do everything necessary to restore order to Britain's streets and to make them safe for the law-abiding," Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters during a Tuesday crisis meeting. So far, over 500 arrests have been made in London alone, with several buildings going up in flames; over 100 police officers have been injured, and one person was found dead of a gunshot wound.

The trouble began last Thursday, when Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old father of four and suspected drug dealer, was shot and killed by officers in London's Scotland Yard; Duggan is believed to have fired no shots himself before being killed. The rioting itself reportedly grew out of an initially peaceful memorial vigil, held that night in Tottenham, Duggan's North London neighborhood, that spiraled out of control.

16,000 police officers are currently patrolling the London streets. A soccer match set for Wednesday at the city's huge Wembley Stadium has been canceled.[usmagazine.com]

Angelina Jolie On Her & Brad Pitt's Film Future : We 'Don't Want To Be Doing This Our Whole Lives'

At 36 years old, with six children and longtime partner Brad Pitt by her side, Angelina Jolie is finding her desire to step in front of the camera dwindling.

"[Acting is] like being in therapy, in a way," Angelina explained of why she "needed acting more" in her younger years, during an interview with the Financial Times posted on Friday. "You ask these questions as you grow up: am I strong enough, am I sane enough? Do I understand love, do I understand myself?

"I'm older [now] and I know who I am," she continued. "I'm less interested in the character helping me answer something ... than in being able to answer it for myself, as a woman, as an adult, with my family."

Although the Academy Award-winning actress admits she no longer loves acting "as much as she did," she couldn't resist the role of CIA agent Evelyn Salt - a character originally written to be played by a man for 2010's action thriller, "Salt" - when she read the script in 2008 while breastfeeding her and Brad's newborn twins, Knox and Vivienne in the hospital.

"I was... feeling so soft and mama ... and I was flipping these pages and it was all fighting and shooting guns," Angelina said. "I thought, 'That's what I need. I need to get out of my nightgown and I need a gun.'

"I'm sure many a woman who has been through childbirth has thought, 'It would be nice to get a little physical, get a little wild ... to remember what that other side is like,'" she added.

The stunning star recently took her first turn behind the camera for her upcoming directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey" - due out in theaters on December 23 - and revealed she and Brad, who both devote much of their free time to charitable causes, plan to lessen their movie commitments in the future.

"As Brad and I get older we're going to do fewer films. I've been working for a long time, he's been working for a long time," she said. "We've had a nice run and don't want to be doing this our whole lives. There are a lot of other things to do."

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Brad - who famously told Esquire magazine in 2006 that he and Angelina would not marry until "everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able" - recently revealed the couple's children are forcing the power pair to reexamine that position.

"The kids ask about marriage," Brad told USA Today's Weekend Edition in May. "It's meaning more and more to them. So, it's something we've got to look at."[oscars.movies.yahoo.com]

Angelina Jolie was so jealous of Jennifer Aniston : So will Brad Pitt go back to his ex ?

Jolie says he's 'boring and toxic'. Brad says she needs to see a shrink. Now, as the world's most famous couple divide up six children and nine houses, the REAL question is: Will he go back to his ex?

Gone 10pm in the award-winning Alto restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, and the world's most famous showbusiness couple have already been there for four hours.

They've sunk five bottles of wine (two red, two white and an Italian dessert wine) and eaten a four-course dinner, while the friends they were discussing charity work with have long gone.

Now, as fellow diners including actor Alec Baldwin look on, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are struggling to keep their emotions in check. He looks close to tears as he tells the mother of their children that she needs to get psychiatric help or he will leave her.

She hisses back to Brad that she's bored with him, she considers him 'toxic' and wants him out of her life.

It is said to be this dinner, earlier this month, that finally sealed the fate of the Brangelina story which has fascinated the world ever since Brad left Jennifer Aniston six years ago to be with Angelina, his co-star in Mr And Mrs Smith, the film he was working on.

When the pair left the restaurant an hour later, Angelina looked grim and determined. Brad wore an expression of deep concern as they stepped into their large people-carrier.[dailymail.co.uk]

Matt Damon claims Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Hollywood prisoners ?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are so famous reporters interviewing other star celebs who know them can't stop asking questions about them. Take, for instance, Matt Damon. He says he's living a very "cool" life in New York City, and he is very glad that he is not a superstar like his Los Angeles-based celebrity friends Brad and Angelina. Why? Because he says they are forced to live "like prisoners."

Damon dishing dirt on Brangelina?

In a celeb interview on German television station TELE 5, actor Matt Damon recently dished dirt about the challenges faced by Hollywood celeb Jolie and her longtime beau, Pitt. Damon told the European news station that in Los Angeles, California there are people who live like prisoners -- his friends Brad and Angelina being among them.

The hot male celebrity most famous for his work in the Jason Bourne movie series and his roles playing Linus in the Ocean's 11 movies [with Hollywood pals Brad Pitt and George Clooney] has a wife and kids. However, his life is not like that of Brangelina -- they, he says, live like prisoners. His life is low-key and fairly normal despite all the wild times in Hollywood showbiz out with his celebrity friends.

Celebrity homes offer different levels of privacy in different cities

While Matt Damon and his wife raise their children in New York City, a place known to be very relaxed around celebrities, Brad and Angelina Jolie have to face what Damon called "an international incident" every time they step outside the doors of their celebrity home to take a walk with their celeb kids, or to go out on a date for the evening.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt own and rent homes all over the world, and are known for staying in the most glamorous but remote resorts in third world countries. While they have a place in Los Angeles, they also own a large historic mansion in the South of France, a house on the historic registry in New Orleans, and have been rumored to be house hunting for a crash pad in NYC for a long time.

Every week it seems as if a new celebrity scandal is brewing for the Hollywood power couple. One week, tabloid magazine covers in supermarket grocery store lines say Pitt is leaving, the next entertainment journal to publish claims the pair are planning a clandestine wedding. At every turn there is a new celebrity sighting of the famous couple and their darling celebrity kids -- affording no members of the famous family any privacy.

Famous people living in famous places

Matt Damon, while popular and well-known, is not a man of interest to the press in the same way Brangelina is -- and for that reason claims that despite his fame in Hollywood, he is, "really lucky... because I have the best of both worlds."

Sadly for the Brangelina family, they enjoy all the perks and privileges of fame and fortune, but have had to sacrifice their right to privacy since the news first broke that Brad Pitt was leaving Jennifer Aniston (his ex-wife).

Unable to live their life like normal people, they have to take solace in the glamour of the famous places their Hollywood-earned cash takes them. Fortunately for Boston boy Matt Damon, he does not seem to have the same high-profile problems.[celebs.gather.com]
