Classic-in-black Angelina Jolie shops around for apartments in New York City on Monday (February 16).

The 33-year-old actress is moving her brood back to New York to film her upcoming spy flick, Edwin A. Salt. In the movie, Angelina films a scene as a CIA agent forced to go undercover as a man. Her undercover alter ego is Major Vicek, whose mission is to infiltrate The White House.

Bring on the Mangelina jokes!

An insider tells Life & Style, “I’m sure she’ll give Brad [Pitt], who aged in reverse in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a run for his money in the makeup department.”

Angelina Jolie has revealed that if there is one secret agent whose shoes she would love to step into, it would be the suave British spy James Bond.

And if the actress' ambition of being the first female James Bond don't quite work out, she would be just as happy being the next Bond baddie.

"I'd love to be a Bond villain or the first female Bond," Entertainment Weekly quoted her as saying.

The Mr and Mrs Smith star was considered for the role of Bond's lady love Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. However, plans fell apart after she found out that she was pregnant.

While Jolie went on to have beau Brad Pitt's baby, the part of Lynd went to French star Eva Green.

And though Eva Green's character was killed in Casino Royale, she revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that Vesper's French-Algerian boyfriend mentioned in Casino Royale may be the villain in Bond 22 ¨C something that may see her return in a flashback/video scene. (ANI)

The Government of Thailand in May still be angry with Angelina Jolie to talk on behalf of the poor people of the sea, but the actress has raised awareness among some in the South-East Asia.

For a second day, Thai officials reprimanded the globe-trotter Features call for countries to respect the rights of the Rohingya, a Muslim minority from Myanmar in the vicinity of people fleeing the military dictatorship.

"It was not her role to comment on the matter," spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thai Thar Charungvat said Thursday. Angelina Jolie was in Thailand last week as a goodwill ambassador for UN toured northern camp for refugees from Myanmar.

The Thai authorities have regularly been accused of abuse of Rohingya refugees, including towing more than 1000 open to the sea and letting them die in boat motors without late last year. Some drifted off the coasts of India and Indonesia later weeks, but hundreds of other survivors are dead. Thailand has denied any abuse, but said that the boat people are economic migrants, not refugees.

The local press has seized on the controversy - but not all, took the party of government.

"Instead of blaming Jolie ... why not start talking about the problem? "an editorial in the English language The Nation asked, calling the government to reconsider its policy based on humanitarian principles."

Pavin Chachavalpongpun Thai academic, writing in the Bangkok Post, has even stated that a "brand of Thai-ness has prevented the company successfully completed the responsibility for feeding human rights."

Angelina Jolie - who has visited refugees in many hot spots including Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sudan - did not directly criticize the actions of Thailand. His comment in question merely expressed the hope of the United Nations through a statement that the authorities respect the rights of all refugees and Rohingya.

You know things are not going well for you when even celebrities become critical. According to Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times, Angelina Jolie is "totally creeped out" by Nadya Suleman, the new mother of octuplets. And it's not just because of Nadya's reproductive choices. Nadya has reportedly attempted to contact Angelina within the past year, according to sources close to Angelina.

'At least she wasn't a total crazy ... like the stalkers who try to actually meet Angelina and follow along with the paparazzi,' added the source, who also said, 'It is clear this woman needs psychological help. It's one thing to clip out a celebrity's photo from a magazine and ask your [hair] stylist to copy that cut. Who hasn't done that? But to have a nose job, have collagen injections in your lips and start talking like Angelina -- that's over the top.'

If this is true, I suspect Nadya may learn a really hard lesson about celebrities that we tend to forget: they have considerable financial resources to help them care for their children!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived to 'The Orange British Academy Awards' (BAFTA) in London looking like Hollywood royalty being as affectionate as ever. I think at this point, it's pretty obvious Kate Winslet is going to take the gold at the end of award season - so why not just go and have fun at the party right? Especially when you have a hunk like Brad wrapped around your arm!

Angelina actually did something a bit different and went for a black and yellow strapless cocktail number. The color and style of the dress is rather lovely, but I am curious to see what you think about it.

Do you love it or hate it?

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has called on the Thai government to grant Myanmar refugees in northern Thailand greater freedom of movement.

“I was saddened to meet a 21-year-old woman who was born in a refugee camp, who has never even been out of the camp and is now raising her own child in a camp,” Jolie said after her visit Wednesday to Ban Mai Nai Soi camp.”With no foreseeable chance that these refugees will soon be able to return to Burma (Myanmar), we must find some way to help them work and become self reliant. I hope we can work with the Thai authorities to speed up the government admissions process and that you will not be forced to go back to Burma if danger remains.”

In movie news, Angie will be serving at the executive producer of Resilient, a film that tells the stories of strong women from different countries. Her friend, Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, will interview five women who have overcome tough odds to bring about change in their communities.

Angelina Jolie shares her thoughts on the Oscars race, her career, and life priorities at Good Morning America on Tuesday (February 3).

On her Oscars nomination: I feel very very lucky that I have won in the past. Listen, it’s lovely to be nominated. But I’m hoping Benjamin Button does really good on the night…. I’m rooting for Brad [Pitt].

On watching her own films: Um, sometimes. I like the process of doing them more than watching them. No, I just, I don’t really like to watch movies (laughing) I love to watch Brad’s movies.

On what her kids think of her career: I think they only think I animate Kung Fu Panda… and that’s the extent of my career.

On what’s first in her life: I’d say kids first, kids, woman to Brad and then my work internationally and being a kind of… trying to educate myself and trying to learn about the world and… trying to do some good things while I’m alive.

On stepping away from acting: I’ve been lucky enough to have a great career and a lot of success. But I wake up every day just the happiest mommy… I don’t want to wake up one day and say I had my career that expanded so much longer and I did that many more films and miss out on all those other things in life.

By their own admission, six children just aren’t enough for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Indeed, when it comes to the Brangelina bunch – Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 2, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 7 months, it’s never a matter of if, but when the family will grow.

In fact, OK! has learned exclusively that Angie, 33, is hoping to be pregnant with baby number seven by summertime.

“Angie is doing everything she can to get pregnant,” a source close to the actress tells OK!. “She’s taking prenatal vitamins, has dramatically cut down on her junk-food consumption, and is seeing her obstetrician regularly whenever she’s back in L.A.”

As OK! previously reported, doctors advised Angie not to conceive for at least a year following the July 12 birth of Knox and Vivienne. But the anxious actress is wasting no time in making sure the pregnancy happens right on schedule – or even before.

“Her goal is to be pregnant by the time Knox and Viv have their first birthday,” reveals the source. “Angie is one of those people who always manages to achieve whatever she wants."

And in this case, that's baby #7!
