Brad and Angelina are to get married at George Clooney’s home in Italy - Sept 05
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning to get married at George Clooney’s holiday home in Italy, it has been claimed. The couple are said to be desperate to arrange their big day as soon as Brad ’s divorce to Jennifer Aniston is finalised next month. Brad’s friend George Clooney owns a ?4 million holiday villa on Lake Como and the Italian media claims that plans are already under way for a wedding there. Clooney reportedly suggested his villa as a venue because of its "secluded and discreet position".
Brad has already become part of Angelina’s family and has been photographed playing father to her adopted children Maddox, 4, and six-month-old Zahara. Sources say that the ’Troy’ star is desperate to marry his ’Mr and Mrs Smith ’ co-star, but because the actor is currently filming in Canada, the pair will have to wait until next year to get hitched. Clooney is the first of Brad’s friends to speak out about his blossoming relationship with Angelina. He said: "She is a very beautiful woman and very clued-up. I see them together and they look content." The men became friends after filming Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve together.
Brad Pitt’s parents have warned their son off Angelina - Sept 05
Brad Pitt’s parents have warned their son off Angelina Jolie - because of her bad marriage history, according to the Daily Mail newspaper. Bill and Jane Pitt - who remain close to Brad’s estranged wife Jennifer Aniston - have reportedly told him to cool his relationship with the twice-divorced screen beauty.
Earlier this year, the pair were quoted as saying they had met Angelina and thought she seemed "nice". But the actress is said to be hurt by their latest comments. A source told the paper: "Angelina thought she had got on well with his parents but then they told him he had moved too fast with a woman who had a bad marriage record."
Brad and Angelina, who met on the set of ’Mr and Mrs Smith’ last year, are already reportedly living together after Brad transformed his bachelor pad into a family home. The actor has also been spotted playing ’dad’ to Angelina’s two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara. Earlier this week, he visited Angelina on the set of her new movie holding four-year-old Maddox’s hand while cradling baby Zahara. He also had a milk bottle sticking out his back pocket. Angelina was once married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions. Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes. At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself. Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.
At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz. Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father. She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.
Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom. However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame. The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.
Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike. Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances. Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox. At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire. Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.
In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt. Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit. The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
