Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are a surprisingly private couple.

First she gets pregnant and they stay tight-lipped, now the Hollywood couple were reported to have tied the knot in secret.

US magazine Star had believed Brangelina wed over the weekend in a ceremony held in New Orleans.

However, their spokesperson claimed to have ‘no idea’ about the news when questioned.

Curiouser and curiouser…

Meanwhile, another US outfit, People, say that the couple are NOT married and, in fact, are not even in New Orleans at the moment - they say the couple are in Texas while Brad films a new movie.

Star magazine have since retracted their report, releasing a statement saying: “After further investigation, the sources are not standing by their story.”

One thing’s for sure though, Angelina’s belly is getting bigger and I’m sure it’s not because she’s been scoffing deep fried Mars bars…

After much speculation, it has been confirmed. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are expecting another child. This will be their second child together and will be their fifth child total. They have adopted children Maddox (age 6), Pax (age 4), and Zahara (age 3). They already have one birth child, Shiloh (age 1).

Angelina finally showed the baby bump as she and Brad attended the Film Indeendent’s Spirit Awards on Saturday. A source close to them says, “They are very, very happy.”

I think she and Brad are doing a great job trying to make more kids happy but the thing is that I don’t see them both happy anymore. They look like they struggle and I don’t understand why they do that to themselves? All those who think that she should open up an orphanage or something similar need to understand that both Angie and Brad would have would have thought about this many a times and would have not been able to find a solution in this regard. Damn man why always have negative thoughts about some celebrities going out of their way and trying to do something good for the needful. Once both of them are out of the country shooting or busy with some commitments and as disaster strikes the kids then the whole world especially the countries from where they have adopted the kids would be crying for the blood. They have adopted and they are the parents and parents always know what’s best for their kids, right dad!

Wow, the list for ‘Paris Hilton Haters’ is just increasing by the day and the newest addition to the growing list is Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt. The last one I remember is Courtney Love. For those of you who dislike Brad Pitt because you think he cheated on Jennifer Aniston, guess what? I’ve got news that will make you forget about Jennifer and instill a love for Brad in your heart once more. He is annoyed by Paris Hilton being a fame-hungry skank! But Brad isn’t that the only thing why almost every person in Hollywood is there for, for the fame and the money and for living life in the fast lane and going bonkers for peanut like things. But can I tell you a thing Brad – you not so clean yourself, you couldn’t keep up with Jennifer and you actually cheated on her no matter what have to say about the whole episode and there have been news that Jolie too had throw you out of the house, you stink as has as Paris does. But the fact that he burned Paris Hilton is just priceless!

I swear they make it sound like a rollercoaster ride (most fun theyve ever had)i am so into the idea of adopting but not with Angelina and brad, I mean they’re not even married and we know its not gonna last THE KIDS ARE GONNA BE AN EMOTINAL WRECK! having kids is a rollercoaster ride in itself and I think these two have made the decision that the more the merrier so instead of churning out kids themselves and having a waiting period of nearly an year, these guys have thought of adopting when ever they feel the need for one more to be added to the family. But what’s going to be unique about the Brad-Jolie family is that the kids are going to be from all around the world giving the kids an atmosphere that will be unrivalled at least in Hollywood coz I do not know how other’s around the world follow the adopting pattern.

Angelina Jolie saw firsthand the plight of conflict refugees stranded in the blazing desert near the Syrian-Iraqi border in a visit this week to highlight their ordeal.

The American actress, who is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, traveled to Syria and Iraq on Monday and Tuesday, the agency said in a statement. Jolie also separately visited U.S. troops in the area.

“I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to this humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners,” Jolie was quoted as saying by the Geneva-based agency on Tuesday.

She headed home from Syria on Wednesday according to UNHCR officials, after a visit wrapped in secrecy and with no media coverage.

The 32-year-old star of the movie traveled to the al-Waleed refugee camp on the Iraqi side of the border and spoke to some of the 1,200 refugees stranded there, prevented from entering Syria, UNCHR said.

“It is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq’s future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face,” she said.

The camp is in a no man’s land between the two countries, one mile from the Iraqi border post and 4.5 miles from the Syrian border.

Jolie, who wore a blue flak jacket and a helmet when she arrived unannounced at the camp, was not immediately recognized by many of the refugees, a large number of whom are Palestinians who have been stranded in the desert encampment since December.

Unlike Iraqis, who are allowed to enter and settle in Syria, Palestinian residents of Iraq are mostly prevented from entering the country, leaving them stranded at the border.

Jolie spent two hours there talking with the refugees through a translator, taking notes, all the while surrounded by bodyguards, according to Qusai Mohammed Saleh, 33, a Palestinian refugee.

“I didn’t recognize her right away, but after she was introduced as Angelina Jolie, I remembered a little, from some of her movies,” he told The Associated Press by phone from the camp.

“She did not like the tragic situation,” Saleh said, adding that she inspected the camp’s medical and hygiene facilities.

Fellow refugee Awad Talha Awad, 48, said he had hopes the visit would make a difference. “Our situation is so difficult,” he said, adding that Jolie was “moved” by some of the conditions she witnessed.

“She felt the sun,” he said of the raging midday summer temperatures. “She did not make any promises but she said, ‘we will make an effort to resolve your situation.’”

UNHCR estimates that more than 4.2 million Iraqis have been displaced since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and of these, about two million have fled to neighboring countries, mainly Syria and Jordan, placing a heavy strain on their resources.

Actress Katie Holmes’ good looks have landed a place in a magazine’s “most influential” list
Tom Cruise’s wife was praised for her “refreshing girl-next-door looks” and short new hairstyle by OK! magazine. Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise in 2006

Nineteen famous faces were named in six categories, including Simon Cowell - a top entertainer and newsmakers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez were also included in the “beauty queen” category alongside Holmes.
The 10-month-old daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, Dannielynn Hope, was also mentioned as a “survivor”, due to being at the centre of “Hollywood’s most controversial tragedies”.
The child was the subject of a paternity dispute between Howard K Stern and Larry Birkhead, who was eventually proved to be her father.
TR Knight, a star of US medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, made the newsmaker list after he announced he was gay and co-star Isiah Washington made a homophobic remark about him.

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, singer Justin Timberlake and model Kate Moss were named the most prominent trendsetters in fashion.

Angelina Jolie may be opening the door to reconciling with her long estranged father John Voight.
“I am hoping my relationship with my father will be more private in the future”, Jolie told the U.K.’s Evening Standard newspaper in an interview this week. “At the end of the day we both wish the best for each other and we’ll try to start communicating in some way.”
The actress had little if any contact with hew father. In 2002 he made comments to Access Hollywood suggesting that she was unstable. In interviews Jolie has made it clear that she doesn’t have time for her father. She also claims that he has cheated on her mother, who passed away in January.
In an interview with the Standard Jolie says that the parents of her partner Brad Pitt are really great and have accepted her and the children she had adopted: “When I first met them I came in with two adopted children from other countries and I didn’t know how they were going to be. But they are equally loving with them.”
About her thinner figure the actress says that this is the result of a trauma and not dieting.
“I’ve always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I’ve gone through a lot. I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding – it’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track. Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it’s because I want to fit into skinny jeans.”
Jolie has been seemingly everywhere this week, culminating with the New York City premiere of her new film A Mighty Heart. One major challenge in filming the movie, she says, was a scene in which her character gives birth.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s latest family addition has officially taken their surnames. A Santa Monica court on Thursday approved Pax Thien Jolie’s name change to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt. Pax, 3, was adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage in March, joining Pitt and Jolie’s children Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1. Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie adopted Pax on her own, but he is being raised by both her and Pitt. In April, Jolie formally requested that the court change her new son’s name to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt. In January 2006, after Jolie made a similar request in the same court, her other adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, were officially named Jolie-Pitt. If Angelina and Brad Pitt continue to adopt a child every year then soon they could be parents of a dozen kids and the house will be a screaming place with children. On a more serious note the work that Angelina has done should be appreciated no end.
