Brangelina kids to get themed rooms? - May 30 2007
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are apparently planning to go paint mad in their home - and hope to decorate each of their children’s rooms according to the country of their birth.

The couple have four children: five-year-old Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia; Pax Thien, three, from Vietnam; two-year-old Zahara, from Ethiopia; and their biological daughter Shiloh, who has just turned one.

According to the Daily Mirror, Maddox will have Cambodian road signs and a painting of an authentic village and Zahara’s room will be decorated with pictures of camels and desert scenes.

A source said: "Brad and Ange want to give their kids a strong sense of their own culture while growing up in America so they never lose the link to their past."

The Tomb Raider actress recently said she’s entered a new stage in her life since losing her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, to cancer earlier this year.

Last week she declared: "You know, I want to be a great mom like my mom was and I want to also do the things that I love."

Angie to take a year off - May 24 2007
It’s been a busy year for Brangelina. So much so, that Angie has announced that she’s decided to take a year off work.

The actress told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival: "I’m working this summer. I’m in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months. And then I take a year off.

"We’re getting work out of the way at the moment," added the 31-year-old, fuelling speculation that Brad may also be taking a break from the big screen once he’s fulfilled commitments to the five film projects he’s working on.

Although Angie has received rave reviews for her latest movie, A Mighty Heart, which premiered a Cannes, she says the past 12 months have been tough.

"This has been a very heavy year, in losing my mom and having a fourth child," she revealed in an interview on the Today show in the US.

Justifying her decision to take a break, she said: "I’m hanging on to my family really tight at this moment, and, because of that, trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life."

Becoming tearful, the usually super poised star admitted: "Dammit, you got me crying."

Angelina - I have nothing to hide - May 23 2007
Angelina Jolie has refuted tabloid speculation that there’s trouble in paradise between her and Brad by insisting that she has nothing to hide.

"There’s nothing I have to hide or defend," the 31-year-old actress said in an interview with the Today show and Dateline NBC, due to air in the US on Wednesday.

"I’m going to live my life. There are going to be times when people want to try to attack me and I don’t know why, but they will. And that’s okay," she added, addressing tabloid rumours alleging that she’s suffering from stress and facing a split with Brad.

"There are other things I’m more concerned about. My kids are healthy. I have a lot I want to do in this world. I want to do a lot of things as a woman, as a mom, and that’s my focus," said the actress, who has immersed herself in humanitarian work alongside her acting career since adopting Maddox, 5, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and giving birth to one-year-old daughter, Shiloh.
