Stepping out onto the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of Marley & Me, Jennifer Aniston appeared spectacularly sexy in a strapless black mini-dress; her long hair flowing loosely over her shoulders. It was a chic and sleek statement, but also an eerily familiar one--in fact almost an exact copy of the look Angelina Jolie presented at the Oct. 4 NYC premiere of her film, Changeling.

Although almost four years have passed since Brad Pitt left her amid rumors of an on-set romance with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, Jen is still very much the woman scorned, talking about Angelina every chance she gets.

In the January issue of GQ, in which the former Friends star graces the cover wearing nothing but a tie, Jen brought up what she calls the "insane Bermuda triangle" of JenBrangelina.

"The funny thing is that people don't realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends," she deadpanned. "I've got Zahara on my hip, and Knox..."

Her attempt at humor failed and her bitterness was evident as she addressed Angelina's recent revelation that she and Brad "fell in love" while making Mr. & Mrs. Smith — shot while Brad and Jen were still married. Jen's reaction: "Am I surprised? How do I say this? Considering the source, nothing surprises me."

"Why does Jen even know these kids names?" a senior studio executive offers up to OK!. "She is coming across as being bizarrely obsessed with Angelina. Many of us are shocked that she is so stuck in 2004, before Brad left her. Maybe it's a midlife crisis because she's approaching her 40th birthday in February. But it does make her seem somewhat pathetic. It's time for her to stop talking about Angelina and move on."

And as for Jen's nude GQ cover? "Angelina was photographed on the cover of W — by Brad no less — breastfeeding! How does Jen top that? Go nude! It would be shocking if it weren't so sad."

Angelina Jolie is denying reports of a pregnancy with her seventh child.

In Touch Weekly claims Jolie has a bun in the oven. The magazine, which broke the news of Jolie’s second pregnancy with twins Knox and Vivienne, said she’s three months along.

In an “exclusive” report, which hit news stands Wednesday, In Touch Weekly states: “An excited Angie can’t stop talking about the new baby. So why doesn’t Brad seem thrilled?”

They claim the actress announced the happy news to a waiter in a London restaurant after he tried to pour her an alcoholic drink.

The star’s representative, Geyer Kosinski, refuted the reports, telling Usweekly.com the claims are “not true.”

Brangelina have three adopted children and three biological children, with twins Vivienne and Knox just four months old.

In recent weeks Jolie has given countless interviews about her desire to expand their family.

At the launch of the DVD for Kung Fu Panda last week she told reporters: “Anything could happen. We’re open to anything, we love kids and we’re having a great time.

“It’s chaos in our house, but it’s so much fun. We’ll definitely have more.”

And she added that she couldn’t be happier with Pitt.

“He’s the best daddy and we have fun, so whenever it gets hard we can just look at each other and find a way to laugh about and just appreciate that they’re only little once, and we should enjoy every minute.”

Angelina Jolie may be playing an anguished mother in her latest film The Changeling, but in this exclusive interview, she explains why she's never been happier.

Angelina Jolie is in a buoyant mood as she sweeps into New York for the premiere of her new film The Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

"This is such a beautiful time for me," the elegant, green-eyed actor says.

"When I look back on my life, I never really believed that I would find this kind of happiness on so many different levels.

"I think I trained myself to expect less, but meeting Brad and being with him has shown me that sometimes it just takes the right circumstances for you to meet a good man who enjoys being with you and working towards the same goals in life. Brad has always been there for me."

A year after her appearance in the harrowing A Mighty Heart, Jolie delivers another remarkable performance in The Changeling, a searing drama based on the true story of a child's disappearance in 1928 and his mother's struggle to discover the truth.

Jolie plays Christine Collins, a telephone company supervisor who refuses to be pressured by corrupt Los Angeles police into going along with a scheme wherein her missing son is "returned" to her.

Unfortunately, the child is not her real son but a substitute paraded in front of the press by a police force desperate to curry public favour.

The 33-year-old Jolie has not only managed to sustain her work for UNICEF amid her film career; she is now the proud mother of six children, three adopted (Maddox, Pax and Zahara), and three fathered by Brad Pitt (Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox).

You look great. How did you get back in shape so quickly after giving birth to the twins?

I have six kids and I'm breast-feeding!

As a mother, how hard was it for you to play a woman whose worst nightmare is realised when her son goes missing in The Changeling?

It was difficult because the idea of one's son being kidnapped is one of the worst things any parent can imagine. The loss of a child and not knowing where they are or what is happening to them is probably the absolute worst thing in the world. As a mother, it was harder for me imagining that somebody was abusing my child while they were wondering why mummy wasn't coming to save them.

What made it particularly troubling for me to put myself into this woman's head was my own relationship with my son Maddox. I just couldn't shake the thought of him through the whole film.

Why Maddox particularly?

Because Maddox is my eldest and also because he says things that are similar to what the boy in the film says.

I also talk to Maddox the same way I talk to the little boy. So when Brad and I saw the movie we noticed strange similarities, especially when the boy says: "Am I too heavy?" Mad says that all the time. And I tell him: "Oh, never! But one day you're going to carry me!"

How are you handling being a working mother?

I have a big, wonderful family and I get to travel and be creative with my films and that's tremendously rewarding and satisfying.

I've always loved being an actor and the ability to tell stories and express emotions and making a connection with audiences.

The publicity that comes with that is a reality of the business and it's only the paparazzi that is really a bother sometimes when Brad and I are with our children.

How do you stay so positive?

By doing the things which are important and meaningful to you and not worrying about the rest. How can I complain about anything when I wake up in the morning and I'm surrounded by so much love with Brad and our children and the feeling that comes from sharing my life with them?

Does having twins make things a little more complicated now?

It's a little more stressful in terms of your time because you have two very tiny babies wanting your attention. But it's also so beautiful to be part of that.

Once you have three or four children, having a few more isn't going to alter your lifestyle that much.

Brad and I have found a way to organise our time with the children and so we stick to that. It's also a fascinating new experience for me to have twins and look after them and have the other children seem so curious about them.

A family is a social unit in its own way and watching the children interact is part of your role as a mother.

Has Brad seemed particularly taken with the twins?

He's just so happy and having twins is something neither of us ever expected and I think that makes it all the more special for us both. When I see how much love is in Brad's eyes for the twins and for all our children -- it's a very moving experience for me. I never wanted to become pregnant and have children that way unless I had come to know Brad and see how loving he was with Maddox and Pax. So that was a big step for me.

How will you integrate the twins into the life of your family?

It's a matter of indulging the curiosity of the other children and making them feel part of the whole process. Things like helping prepare bottles or changing diapers or doing little things that help me. It all works. Kids are great at adapting.

What about teaching your kids about religion and culture?

I want to teach them about all religions, and I'm trying to find a way to do that. And when it comes to the subject of adoption, like when my daughter, who's African, wants her hair to look straight like mummy's... and I look for a Barbie that's African, and the African Barbie has straight hair! And you know, why has Disney never made a film with an African-American princess?

The Changeling opens in Australia in February.

Kung Fu Panda star Angelina Jolie recently had an interview with the BBC and said, “I don’t plan to keep acting very long. I’m ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. I’m not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity.”

Speaking of her family, she continued, “I like being home a lot. First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they’re growing right and they’ve got us there for them.”

But don’t worry - she won’t be completely going away! She added, “I don’t think I’ll ever say I’m never, ever gonna work because maybe there’s that interesting project where I feel creative.”

In 'Changeling' she's grounded, but in real life, Angelina Jolie is a citizen...

Angelina Jolie appeared at the double-wide doorway of a penthouse suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel unsmiling and peering warily from behind a curtain of dark hair. Attired in an opalescent, knee-skimming silk dress, she seemed grave -- imperious and businesslike enough to give German Chancellor Angela Merkel a run for her new ranking as most powerful woman in the world. The actress was flanked by her manager, publicist and two burly security guards; together the pack had come from an adjoining suite where Jolie's team of hairstylists and makeup artists had just finished plying their trade.

She was here to talk about her critically acclaimed performance in " Changeling," which reached theaters last month and has predictably placed Jolie within a hive of Oscar buzz. She was also here to present an award at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala. Unbeknown to a panoply of Hollywood bigwigs, who were packed into the hotel's ballroom, Jolie had flown in under the celebrity radar to hand "Changeling" director Clint Eastwood a director of the year statuette. (It would be widely reported later that the crowd "gasped audibly" when Jolie was introduced.)

However, less than an hour before she was to take the stage with Eastwood, Jolie claimed to be in the dark about the night's agenda. Whom had she come to honor? "I can't say. I never know how these things work. I don't even know what I'm doing."

You could excuse the Oscar-winning actress for being a bit unfocused. She had gotten back into the country only three days earlier from a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan, where Jolie met with poverty-stricken families as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. The lack of sustainable infrastructure in that war-torn country and the need to repatriate some 3 million refugees was still very much front of mind. And such Hollywood concerns, she explained, pale in contrast to the issues that really matter. Like the world beyond the Thirty Mile Zone. And family. Hers includes a veritable Brady Bunch of adopted and biological children she shares with domestic partner Brad Pitt.

"I woke up at 3 in the morning with four kids with jet lag and two babies," said Jolie, 33. "I put myself together for a few hours and go out. And then I go home. This is my job."

She didn't want to sound ungrateful about Hollywood. "I don't dislike it here," Jolie continued. "I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I'm so fortunate that I get to do that."

For evidence of just how seriously Jolie takes her maternal identity, look no further than the cover of last month's W magazine, which features a grainy black-and-white photo (shot by Pitt) of the actress breast-feeding one of her twins -- it's either Knox or Vivienne -- in a French chateau last summer.

Considered in conjunction with a succession of paparazzi photos showing her and Pitt with various children in tow (or, alternately, the $14 million People magazine reportedly paid Jolie and Pitt for the first serial rights of photos of the twins in August) you get the idea that it is as a mother -- and not a movie star -- Jolie prefers to be recognized.

"The center of my life is my kids," Jolie said.

Then there is her role in "Changeling," a dramatic thriller set in the late '20s that's based on real events. Jolie plays Christine Collins, a Los Angeles woman whose son goes missing but is later found by police. Except, the person returned to her is not her boy. After she confronts authorities, the LAPD not only rejects Collins' story, they throw her into the "psych ward" of a county hospital. She must somehow find the wherewithal to stand up for herself -- for her missing son -- and take on the system.

"Christine fought so hard under such incredible circumstance for the rights of other women," Jolie said. "It was a real story that I thought sent a positive message about what you can accomplish. About democracy in action."

In a minutely calibrated performance she based on her late mother, the actress used floods of tears to convey a palate of emotions: despair, rage, indignation, disbelief. Jolie attributed the sharpness of her portrayal in part to Eastwood's run-and-gun style; one that seldom required more than two takes per shot. "You feel you can absolutely break yourself," she said. "You can drain every bit of energy you've got. He's not going to waste your time."

(And at the awards gala, Eastwood returned the praise: "Working with Angelina Jolie is a great privilege because you get to look on that gorgeous beauty every day," he said. "And she's a great talent.")

Viewed in a certain light, "Changeling" arrives as Jolie's fourth-consecutive mom-centric film. She was Grendel's mother in last year's "Beowulf," the heavily pregnant wife of a kidnapped journalist in the indie drama "A Mighty Heart" and in August's shoot-'em-up thriller " Wanted," Jolie metaphorically mothers James McEvoy's transformation from nebbish office worker to killing machine.

Nonetheless, Jolie waves away the notion that her maternal instinct has helped shape any career agenda. "I don't think it's a choice of mine as much as it is something women deal with when we get older," she said. "A woman in her 30s is more likely to have roles that in some way relate to family."

Or vice versa. In this case, she took a role that directly resulted in enlarging her family. Jolie confides that "Changeling's" themes of motherhood interrupted helped push her and Pitt's procreative process. "I got pregnant right in the middle of it and I think partially because of it," she said, smiling at the memory. "I was so emotional about children that I think something in me kicked into gear."

Jennifer Aniston is red hot on the December 2008 cover of Vogue.

According to Us Weekly, Aniston asked the reporter, Jonathan Van Meter, to turn off the tape recorder when first asked about her ex-husband’s partner, Angelina Jolie. Here’s what she did say on the record:

On being bothered that Angelina recounted a detailed timeline of how she fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith: “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.

On if she ever speaks to Brad: “[We've exchanged] a few very kind hellos … and congratulations on your babies… [We] had an amicable split … The marriage didn’t work out.”

Changeling director Clint Eastwood keeps wraps around his leading lady Angelina Jolie at Hollywood Film Festival’s Gala Ceremony held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Monday in Beverly Hills, Calif. (Changeling opens in theaters everywhere on Halloween.)

At the festival’s awards gala, Eastwood was honored with the Hollywood Film Festival’s director of the year award by Angie (in a black reversible cami by Karen Zambos).

“There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they’ll live up to what we imagine them to be,” Angie told the audience. “And Clint Eastwood in person is even better… Clint is what every great director should be. He is a great leader. And I certainly would follow him anywhere.”

Clint accepted his award and returned the favor: “Working with someone like Angelina Jolie is a great privilege, because you get to look on that gorgeous beauty every day. And she’s a great talent.”

Angelina Jolie is hinting that she and Brad Pitt are headed to the altar.

"When we first met I already had a child," Jolie tells the new issue of Italian Vanity Fair. "We didn't live together and we adopted Zahara. Usually people fall in love and and everything revolves around people getting married. Children are an afterthought."

"We've done everything the wrong way around, but sooner or later the children will ask, you know, they watch films and ask questions," Jolie, 33, said. "They want to know why Shrek and Fiona got married and we haven't." (Pitt has said he won't wed Jolie until gay marriage is made legal.)

Jolie and Pitt are parents to Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 and 3-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

The self-proclaimed "tomboy" revealed that daughter Shiloh is "like me" in her personality.

"When we fly we watch the The Little Mermaid, and she was cheering for the bad guy and not Ariel," Jolie said. The Changeling star also revealed that she and Pitt put on performances for the children.

"Every now and then at home we dress up and put on a show for them," Jolie told Vanity Fair. "This is really fun."

Not so fun for Jolie are fashion shows.

"I have never been to a fashion show and I hate shopping," she said. "The rapport between fashion and celebrity has something slimy that I don't like. So that's why I choose clothes that truly correspond to me."

She added: "The last few months I have spent in a night dress! I only realized two weeks ago that I need to change my wardrobe."

But that's not to say the mother of six doesn't have fun on the red carpet.

"There is no reason to feel nervous on a red carpet," she said. "In May last year at Cannes I smiled a little more because Brad had dirty trousers and one of the children had weed on him."

So what does the future hold for Jolie and Pitt as a couple?

"I can only tell you that Angelina is a mother of six marvelous children and lives with a fantastic man," she gushed.
