| A French chateau for Pitt and Jolie - for 45 mn pounds! - Thaindian.com Posted: 23 Aug 2009 10:06 AM PDT
They have applied to renovate all 35 bedrooms to give them a "contemporary feel" and want to add jacuzzis, steam rooms and a spa, and to install a new gym, an expanded wine cellar - and even a motorbike track for Pitt, 45. They also plan to improve its helicopter landing facilities, so they can fly in and out with their children - Maddox, seven, Pax, five, four-year old Zahara, and biological daughter Shiloh, three, and their year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. "We're trying to spend more time in the South of France, because our kids have a more normal life there," said Pitt. He also admitted he's still struggling to master the language. Security around the house will be improved hugely, to include a surveillance centre, spy cameras, alarms, and infra-red sensors. The property comes with a vineyard, swimming pool, moat, lake and forest, and a three-mile long driveway up to the main house. The cascading stone-walled terraces have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives, and there are 20 fountains and aqueducts. The globe-trotting couple will split their time between France and their homes in California and New Orleans. Sphere: Related Content

| Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ‘To Spend $45m on French Love Nest’ - Showbizspy.com Posted: 23 Aug 2009 06:09 AM PDT
The couple — who raise six children together — have purchased the 17th-Century Chateau Miraval, set on a 1,000-acre estate in Provence, for $35million. And they'll shell out an extra $10million turning the thirty-five bedroom home into the "love nest of all love nests". The couple will add steam rooms, jacuzzis, a spa and a new gym. A motorbike track is also to be built, while helicopter landing facilities are going to be improved. "They want to make sure this very romantic property becomes the love nest of all love nests," a local property developer told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper. "Brad is looking into local schools for the kids, and both he and Angelina are improving their French." Security around the house will be improved hugely, to include a surveillance center, spy cameras, alarms, and infra-red sensors. Some work has started, while more complicated renovations still need to be agreed by the local council. Jean-Claude Sadion, mayor of the nearby town of Correns, said, "The application has been received for widespread work on their new house, and we are delighted that they will be here more permanently. They are a wonderful couple with beautiful children and we will hold a civic reception to honor them."  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Saint Angelina? OMG! - Winnipeg Sun Posted: 23 Aug 2009 03:46 AM PDT QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "I think Angelina Jolie must be a saint." A grateful student praises the actress (in Life & Style) for financing student bicycles for two schools in northern Namibia. Alert the Vatican. BLATHER: 1) "Everybody's had enough of Brad Pitt. I've seen enough of him for a lifetime." Michael Madsen tells TMZ.com that he's not really a fan of Mr. Jolie. 2) "He's the love of my life. He has been so strong around me. I can't thank him enough." Madonna gives a little speech about Jesus Luz, 22, on the occasion of her 51st birthday. Love of my life? Can't thank him enough? The guy must do laundry. 3) "At least I will know in future if I go out with a lady they will not be after me for my money." John Cleese manages a little joke about having to pay almost $20 million in a divorce settlement to his third wife. 4) "Blue Chair Bay is kind of like the place we'd all like to go if we had no obligations or nowhere to be, and that's kind of what I want this clothing line to represent." Kenny Chesney, still not gay, talks about his new clothing line in People. In unrelated ungay design news, the late Michael Jackson had also been working on a clothing line before his death. It included sparkly sequined socks and gloves. Uh, huh. DRIVEL: 1) "I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together." Robin Wright Penn tells More magazine that she's showing at least one of the Three Stooges the door. This is the third divorce filing for Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn, but the first initiated by her. If at first you don't succeed ... 2) "Pudgy and average." Just one of the viewer comments about Eric Dane in the nude, following the Internet posting of a video that shows Dane, his wife Rebecca Gayheart and former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche in a naked hot-tub home movie. 3) "I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet. Eventually that request was granted. A bit of divine intervention displays the power of prayer!" Katy Perry tells the UK Sun that she's a fool. 4) "We're of the same era. I wanted my Afro to be perfectly round like Michael's." Spike Lee tells the Washington Post that while he's planning a Brooklyn birthday bash to honour the late Michael Jackson, it's still all about him. 5) "Looking back, it was all pretty much sexual. That's what he had in mind ... He totally screwed me over and acted like a dirtbag." Class act Kate Major, former tabloid typist, tells Life & Style about her tryst with gormless reality TV star, Jon Gosselin. Pot, meet kettle. 6) I used to spend a lot of time with Woody Harrelson, and he's not afraid to get naked." Alicia Silverstone (in Health magazine) explains how she came to take up nude gardening. Yee-haw. 7) "You sit there and you're like, 'I'm a big movie star and I want to go out with some models'. But I don't know why that doesn't happen." Robert Pattinson explains to the Daily Mirror that he's thicker than two short planks. LIZ.BRAUN@SUNMEDIA.CA  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

Angelina Jolie Voigt was born in Los Angeles, California on June 4, 1975 to actor Jon Voigt and actress Marcheline Bertrand. She has one younger sibling, brother James Haven. She has 6 children with actor and current beau Brad Pitt: three biological children, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne, and three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. Once her parents got divorced, Jolie's mother moved the kids to Palisides, New York where they stayed until Jolie was 11. At that time, they moved back to Los Angeles where Jolie decided she wanted to act. Her mother enrolled her at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where she stayed for two years learning the craft. She dropped out of classes at the age of 14. In her teen years, Jolie did some modeling and was featured in several music videos. It was in 1993 when she got her first leading role in a feature film - Cyborg 2. (Her feature film debut was actually in 1982 alongside her father in Lookin' to Get Out. She would take an 11-year hiatus before returning to the big screen.) In the next few years, she also starred in Without Evidence, Hackers co-starring Jonny Lee Miller, Love Is All There Is, Mojave Moon with Anne Archer, Foxfire, Playing God with David Duchovny, and the made-for-television movie, True Women. It was on the set of Hackers that Jolie met and fell in love with Jonny Lee Miller. She married him on March 28, 1996. Their union lasted three years and their divorce was final on February 3, 1999. Jolie remains on good terms with Miller. .
In 1997, Jolie was cast as Cornelia Wallace in the film George Wallace. She gained great reviews, won a Golden Globe, and caught the eye of casting agents around Hollywood. The following year, she played supermodel Gia Carangi in the HBO original film, Gia. Jolie won her second Golden Globe and her first Screen Actor's Guild Award for the role and was nominated for an Emmy. Over the next few years she starred in Hell's Kitchen with Rosanna Arquette, Playing by Heart with Sean Connery and Gillian Anderson, Pushing Tin with Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack, and The Bone Collector with Denzel Washington. Jolie married another co-star on May 5, 2000. Billy Bob Thorton, one of the leading men in Pushing Tin, became her second husband after the pair met on the set. The pair was very open about their relationship and they gained lots of publicity after wearing vials of each other's blood around their necks. Their marriage ended on May 27, 2003. Jolie won an Academy Award for her next role, sociopath Lisa Rowe, in the 1999 film Girl, Interrupted with Winona Ryder. She also won her third Golden Globe and a second Screen Actor's Guild Award. She followed up that film with Gone in 60 Seconds, an action film co-starring Nicholas Cage. That movie was her highest grossing movie to date, earning more than $230 million internationally. Between 2001 and 2005, Jolie made a string of films including the very successful Lara Croft movies. The first film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, earned more than $275 million worldwide. The second didn't bring in quite as much but still was considered a success with revenue of over $150 million. These two movies, along with Gone in 60 Seconds, solidified her as a female action movie star. She also starred in the 2001 movie Original Sin with Antonio Banderas, Life or Something Like It with Edward Burns, Beyond Borders, Taking Lives with Ethan Hawke, Shark Tale (voice work), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow with Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Alexander with Colin Farrell. .
In 2005, Mr. and Mrs. Smith was released. Jolie was cast opposite Brad Pitt in the film about a married couple of assassins. The film earned a whooping $478 million worldwide and was one of the top-grossing movies of 2005. But even bigger than the revenue of the movie was the buzz surrounding her and Pitt's relationship while filming. Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston at the time and their rumored infidelity fueled many tabloid magazines and gossip websites for months. Soon after Aniston filed for divorce in 2005, Pitt and Jolie began to be photographed together. The pair is still together today and have six children: three biological children, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne, and three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. After Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Jolie starred in The Good Shepard with Matt Damon, A Mighty Heart as Mariane Pearl, Wanted with James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman, Kung Fu Panda (voice work), and Changeling co-starring John Malkovich and directed by Clint Eastwood. Kung Fu Panda grossed more than $632 million worldwide making it her highest-grossing film to date. Jolie was nominated for another Academy Award for her role in Changeling. Jolie recently finished filming the 2010 thriller Salt in New York City. .
In addition to acting, Jolie is very involved in humanitarian work. On August 27, 2001, Jolie was named a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. She has been on field missions to more than 20 countries around the world including Thailand, Ecuador, Kosovo, Kenya, Beirut, Jordan, and Sudan. She regularly visits Washington DC to attend World Refugee Day and to meet with members of Congress. Jolie announced the funding of the Jolie/Pitt Foundation in 2006, which gave $1 million worth of funding to Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders. She's won several awards for her efforts including Citizen of the World Award by the United Nations Correspondents Association and the Freedom Award by the International Rescue Committee.
