Angelina Jolie to Adopt Seventh Child
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors
I suppose that foreign children are nice holiday presents for the Pitt-Jolies—Salt starlet Angelina Jolie is reportedly set to adopt a baby from Syria.
The Oscar-winning actress, who already has three adopted children, as well as three biological ones, with partner Brad Pitt, has started the process to bring home a baby girl from the Asian country.
Brad, however, is said to not be keen on the idea, but an undeterred Angelina began the proceedings on her own. A source said, “He has made it clear that six children are more than he can handle. The idea of one more seemed ludicrous, but Angie is determined to complete her rainbow family.”
A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Washington D.C. confirmed that “only Angelina’s name was on the adoption papers.” Angelina adopted her eldest son Maddox - now eight - from Cambodia in 2001, while she was still married to second husband Billy Bob Thornton, but was legally his only parent.
After splitting from Billy, she went on to adopt Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005 and soon after getting together with Brad, he legally became the father of both children. The couple then had their first biological child, Shiloh, in May 2006 before adopting Pax - now five - from Vietnam in March 2007. They then became the proud parents of twins, Knox and Vivienne, who were born in July 2008.

What secret weapon does director Guy Ritchie have in store for the action-packed thriller? He calls it a family movie!

Violet Affleck Reads Jane Austen, Among Other Talents
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
Jennifer Garner’s three-year-old daughter Violet Affleck reads Jane Austen novels. Her and Ben Affleck must be doing something right if she’s going at that rate.
The Invention of Lying actress is keen for her children—Violet and eight-month-old Seraphina, her kids with husband Ben Affleck—to have a broad range of interests and is already encouraging Violet to read classic literature.
Lynda Obst, who produced new movie The Invention of Lying, revealed, “Most of the time that I did spend with her when it was off-set, Violet was cooking with her, or reading Jane Austen, or doing one of these remarkable things that Violet tends to do. She encourages her kids to be independent. And at the same time not television watchers. Readers. Thinkers. She is kind of old-fashioned. She is a very classic mom.”
Jennifer, 37, admits that she struggles to juggle her career with being a mother, but tries her best: “Every day, you feel like you are off-balance one way or another. You just take it one day at a time. I don’t think anyone has it properly figured out.”

Tori Spelling Terrified of Phones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Independent, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
Kiss the Bride star Tori Spelling has a phobia of phones.
The former Beverly Hills 90210 star admits she can’t communicate by regular telecom systems and has to rely on her Blackberry to keep in contact with friends and family (wait, isn’t that a phone?).
“I don’t like the phone. I know I’m an oddity, but I’m terrified of the phone. I communicate with my Blackberry—it has saved my life. My husband Dean hates it, but I have to have it with me at all times.”
Tori, who is mother to son Liam, two, and 16-month-old daughter Stella, also revealed she no longer has the money to continually spoil her children.
The blonde actress, who was left a derisory amount in her late millionaire TV producer father Aaron Spelling’s will, said, “Given my financial situation, as it stands, the only thing I can really spoil them with is love—and that’s the most important thing, so I have no worries with that! Family dinner is extremely important to me. Our schedules are so chaotic right now, but I’m really trying.”
David Arquette Tricked Courteney Into Love
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Horror, Mystery, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases
Funny guy David Arquette had to “trick” Courteney Cox into falling in love with him.
The Scream co-stars—who have been marred for 10 years and have a five-year-old daughter, Coco—met shortly before they started filming the horror franchise and while the actor was smitten straight away, he admits it took him time to win over the former Friends actress.
“Was it love at first sight? For me it was, but not for her. I had to trick her. We met at a pre-party before we started filming Scream. I was being a little cocky and Courteney was like, ‘Ah, I’ve heard of you,’ and we just kept flirting for a while. She’s just so gorgeous and she jokes around so much.”
The couple are now happily settled in Los Angeles, but David admits he can’t believe how quickly time has passed since Coco was born:
“Courteney and I were watching videos of her when she was two and she was just so cute. It really does go so fast. I said, ‘Coco, I’m going to bring you back something from New York. What do you want?’ And she said, ‘A dress. Bring me back a long dress,’ because she can wear dresses now she’s in ‘big girl school.’ She’s just the best… so much fun. She really is great.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones Quit Hollywood For Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors
Ever wonder what happened to Catherine Zeta-Jones? Word is that the actress quit living in Hollywood for the sake of her children.
The Welsh starlet, who lives in Bermuda and New York with her actor husband Michael Douglas and their children, nine-year-old son Dylan and six-year-old-daughter Carys, was so frustrated with the constant paparazzi presence that she gave up her glamorous Los Angeles lifestyle to focus on her family life.
“When you live in Los Angeles you can’t go anywhere without being critiqued—on your purse of the fact that you have gained weight or that you have got spots on your face. That’s not the life I want. Deciding to live in beautiful Bermuda was the healthiest thing Michael and I ever did. Now that I have kids, that’s what my life is about.”
Catherine is also not concerned about turning 40 this Thursday—the same day her husband turns 65—because she doesn’t feel old: “I feel much younger than I am. When you are 10 or 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30 that seemed like a major milestone.”
Ashley Tisdale Looks to Mom For Inspiration
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Disney, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
Ashley Tisdale aspires to be like her mother.
The High School Musical actress doesn’t have any interest in emulating her favorite actors, but would love to follow in her mother Lisa Tisdale’s footsteps.
“My mom is very confident, and she was always a role model of mine. I never really looked up to celebrities when I was young.” What a far cry from Lindsay Lohan’s role model!

Maggie Gyllenhaal Puts Kids On Hold
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Universal, Foreign, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases
New mother Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s new movie has put her off having more children.
The Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang actress, who plays a struggling mother in the 2010 comedy, found working with five young co-stars and animals exhausting.
“I’m playing a mom at her wits end—tripping over things, with things falling on my head. That kind of physical comedy is exhausting. Especially working with five kids and sometimes animals.”
The 31-year-old beauty, who has two-year-old daughter Ramona with her husband Peter Sarsgaard, loves being a mother, but admits that it is very different from how she expected.
She told British Marie Claire: “Before my daughter was born, I was all, ‘I’m only going to feed her organic food, I’m only going to give her cloth diapers…’ And then, once you have a real child who is starving on a plane, you give them a bag of potato chips because that’s all there is, and they’re OK and it’s fine.”
Baking Buff Rumer Willis
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Horror, Mystery, Thrillers, Celebrity Gossip
Newly turned 21-year-old Rumer Willis would much rather bide her time making pies than doing the Hollywood scene.
The Sorority Row actress, who is the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, can’t resist her cravings for sugary baked goods, so she spends her free time in the kitchen.
“I just don’t care about fame. I have better things to do—like making pies. I love making pies. It all started when I went on a road trip with my boyfriend. We stopped off at this diner and had this strawberry and rhubarb pie, and I thought, ‘This is incredible. I’m going to learn how to make it.’ So I did.”
Rumer is so accomplished at baking, she even treats Demi and her stepfather Ashton Kutcher to their favorite pies.
“My mom likes either pecan pie or German chocolate, and I just made a coconut banana cream pie for Ashton. He liked that very much. It was gone in a matter of three days.”
Where the Wild Things Are trailer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Trailers
The official trailer for Where the Wild Things Are debuted this morning on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and immediately caused many to start frothing at the mouth due to it’s high level of awesome. We must say, after watching it a few times, this has got to be one of the most beautiful movie trailers we’ve seen in, well, ever. For those unfamiliar, Where the Wild Things Are is an adaptation of a children’s story written by Maurice Sendek about a disobedient boy named Max who gets sent to bed without supper (or, dinner, as we call it.) He then creates an imaginary forest world that is inhabited by wild creatures who crown him as their ruler.
The movie hits theaters on October 16th, 2009.
