New pictures of Angelina Jolie from the July 2008 issue of Vanity Fair have surfaced. (The green wig was Ms. Jolie’s idea!)



The photos were taken Jan. 31, before everybody’s favorite humanitarian, mother, and sex goddess publicly announced that she was expecting twins in August. Here are some new quotes from her interview, where she lets us inside her celebrity bubble:

On why they named their daughter Shiloh: “It’s a biblical name,” she told me, “but we didn’t name her for that. It was a name my parents almost named their first child—there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most southern name [my parents] could come up with. It’s a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. I’d gone under it when [Brad] called hotel rooms where I was staying.”

On how she plans on raising her kids religion-wise: “[My mother] was Catholic but also a child of the 60s. She stopped going to confession at one point because she was having sex before marriage. To me, she represented what religion should be. She never preached. If things didn’t make sense to her, she never just accepted it. I had Communion, but she never forced me to go to church. Brad got me this great thing for Christmas. It’s a bookshelf that has a book on every religion. That’s how we plan to raise our kids. Teach them about all religions. They can pick one or be a student of all of them. We’ll celebrate Kwanzaa for our girl. We’ll celebrate moon and water festivals for our boys. We’ll take them to temples in certain countries. Also to church.”

On Brad Pitt coming into her life unexpectedly: “After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn’t looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know? I don’t see him as an actor. I see him very much as a dad, as somebody who loves travel and architecture more than being in movies.”

On her father Jon Voight and his film Coming Home, which he won the best-actor Oscar in 1979: “Actually. I’ve never seen Coming Home. Because that was when my father left my mom, and the woman who he cheated on her with is in the film.” (When rumors surfaced about Jolie and Pitt, who was then married to Aniston, Jolie denied them, saying, in essence, Look, this is what happened to my mother, so I could never do it to another woman.)

Melbourne, June 2 : Thieves had better stay away from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's home for the couple will do everything to protect their family - including shooting the intruder.

Jolie revealed to The Daily Mail that she and Pitt keep a gun similar to the one she sported in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider', reports the Daily Telegraph.

"Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. And yes, I'd be able to use it if I had to. I could handle myself," she told the paper.

Pitt's manager Cynthia Pett-Dante recently denied reports that the actress had already given birth to the couple's twins.

The UN Goodwill ambassador is due in August this year.

The new additions will take the number of kids in the Brangelina brood to six. The couple are already parents to two sons - Maddox and Pax, and two daughters - Zahara and Shiloh.

Jolie, in another interview, also revealed that she and Pitt were thinking about becoming foster parents, so that their house is full of kids even when their own children leave the nest.

Brangelina are currently spending time in France, the country she had reportedly chosen for the birth of the twins, in honour of her beloved late mother.

Last week Entertainment Tonight had an "exclusive" about Angelina Jolie giving birth, but Jolie is still very much pregnant. So what went wrong? According to Jossip.com, someone who claims to be Jolie's rep fed the story to ET.

Some woman impersonating Angelina’s longtime assistant Holly Goline used a fake Blackberry address to send erroneous reports to the press--for the past year! A year!! How does that go unnoticed??

Jolie's attorneys at Lavely & Singer are reportedly going to send letters to various media outlets explaining the situation.

Says the letter:

“A random individual has engaged in a scheme to intentionally harm my client and deceive her fans, the public and the media through illegal and tortuous impersonation of Ms Jolie’s long-time assistant, Holly.

“The individual who claims to be, and to whom the media has relied upon as, a ‘reliable source’ is not my client’s assistant, nor does the email address belong to my client’s assistant.”

This chick has way too much time on her hands. She basically devoted the last year of her life to sending media outlets bogus stories.

When asked if he would be babysitting the couples new twins Jon said, “I certainly will I offer my services”. He went on to say how excited he was and the birth of the twins was “going to be wonderful.”

Jon also talked about what a big deal it was to have two kids. “She has six kids, it’s the greatest thing… but two common…this is a big deal…just pray that everybody is healthy and the kids come in and then the drama starts.”

In regards to baby gifts, Jon said “I 've got a little something for them.” When the little babies coming in they don’t know what’s going on…you can give them anything. I am not worried about the gifts and stuff…their gonna have what they need but it’s always nice to think of somebody and be thoughtful."

In the July issue of Vanity Fair, out next week, Angelina Jolie shares her innermost feelings about life, love, marriage, and her career with writer Rich Cohen. The full story will be available on VF.com on Monday, but in the meantime here is an exclusive preview of her frank remarks about birth, babies, nannies, and more. (Click the image to enlarge.)

Angelina Jolie on being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

Angelina Jolie on her international family:
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”

Angelina Jolie on Shiloh’s birth:
“We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

Angelina Jolie on nannies:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Bel-gium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”

Angelina Jolie on artists as parents:
“Artists raise their kids differently,” she said. “We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

Angelina Jolie has welcomed twins, a source close to the actress tells Entertainment Tonight.

"Babies are great and so is mom," the show reports.

French media reports have also surfaced, claiming Jolie, 32, was with beau Brad Pitt, 44, when she gave birth at a Catholic clinic in France's Aix-en-Provence this past Sunday. Her rep has not confirmed those reports.

While hanging out with the actress at the Cannes Film Festival, her Changeling director Clint Eastwood told Usmagazine.com the actress was doing "fine."

Jolie confirmed she was expecting twins during an interview for her movie Kung Fu Panda with co-star Jack Black, who accidentally let the news slip in Cannes on May 15.

"I love being pregnant," the actress said. "You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby."

Jolie revealed that she was "thinking of France" as a place to give birth.

"I actually haven't completely decided," she said at a press conference for Kung Fu Panda in Cannes on May 15. "We are certainly thinking of France.

"[French is] a second language in the house, although I'm still learning and am not going to attempt any of it here today," she added. "My children are starting to speak French, so being here is very good for them and their language."

The twins will be the 5th and 6th kids in the Jolie-Pitt family, joining Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, who just turned 2.

And more tots are on the way.

Asked by a Swedish reporter in Cannes if she'd consider giving birth in Sweden, Jolie responded, "Not at this time... But, you never know, there's more babies. Who knows?"

Jolie has also made it clear that she values having a worldwide brood. Pax was adopted from Vietnam, Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia.

"All my children are from all different parts of the world, and especially my boys," she told Us. "We do have a teacher who teaches them Cambodian and Vietnamese in our house, and they know their flags and they know their music and they know quite a lot about their culture and [Brad and I] bring in as much as we can, and we'll continue to as they get older."

While attending the Cannes Film Festival (where Jolie premiered two movies in May), the family has been shacking up at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's luxe villa in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat in the south of France.

French newspaper Nice Matin reported on Tuesday that Jolie and Pitt have signed a three-year lease for the 880-acre Chateau Miraval, valued at $70 million.

The spread, which includes a vineyard, moat, forest and 20 fountains, is also near homes owned by Johnny Depp and David and Victoria Beckham.

Brangelina's ever expanding brood is going to have a lot more room to play. A lot.

Expectant parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have plunked down a cool $60 million on a sprawling 1,000-acre estate in the south of France. With 35 bedrooms, plus a vineyard, lake, forest and moat, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and the soon-to-be-born twins are going to be playing house in high style.

"It's called Chateau Miraval in a village called Brignol, which is near from Aix-en-Provence," a source tells E! News. "And it's absolutely unbelievable.

"Brad and Angelina are thrilled, they love the place and have already been furniture shopping to fill the place as it's massive," the insider added. "They've already spent almost another million on furniture and the whole family can't wait to move in."

But where to begin?

The pre-Roman estate also boasts a swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, his-and-hers gyms, sauna and jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall.

Magnificent cascading stone-walled terraces have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives, and water is everywhere on the sprawling estate—20 fountains, aqueducts and a stream that runs through hidden tunnels, passes through the moat and fills the lake.

Except for the ponies and goats grazing in the nearby fields, "the house is surrounded by a forest so they'll have total privacy, which is exactly what they're after," the source tells E! "No one will ever be able to get pictures of them relaxing at home, it's just impossible."

The Jolie-Pitts hope to be completely moved in within the next three months, if not sooner. For the past year, Brad and Angelina had been house-hunting in the area, where residents include Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis and U2 frontman Bono.

Since arriving in France at the end of April, Pitt, Jolie and the kids have been shacking up at Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen's villa in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Jolie befriended the tech titan while filming Dreamworks' Shark Tale in 2004.

"I never planned on having children biologically," Angelina Jolie said last week while in Cannes, France, for the annual film festival. "But that changes when you meet someone you love."

And things are about to change in a big way for the Oscar-winner, who recently confirmed that she and Brad Pitt are expecting twins. And now, as the clock winds down toward her delivery, OK! can reveal some of the plans the couple are making for the big day.

Though sources say the couple had originally planned on welcoming the latest addition to their growing brood in the United States, it's becoming more and more likely that the tots will be born in Europe. Angie herself admitted on May 15 that she and Brad "are thinking of France."

So how long will they the Jolie-Pitts remain overseas? "They have access to their villa in France at least through July 1," one source confirms to OK!. Which works out perfectly, because odds are that the actress may give birth in the next four weeks.

Despite her Kung Fu Panda co-star Dustin Hoffman's assertion that Angie is due in August, one medical expert tells OK! "she's likely to deliver toward the end of June. Women who are having twins often have their babies early."

Regardless of where the babies are born, insiders reveal to OK! that Brad will definitely be hands-on for the delivery. "Brad will be with Angie during the birth," says the source, "Holding her hand and whispering words of encouragement."
