"I entered this business before I had focus and purpose in my life," says Jolie. "I was very unhappy, very unhealthy, and when I sat down for an interview, I didn’t know why. I felt like I didn’t have anything to share. It was a very empty time."

Her life is now far from empty. Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, 43, have four children: five-year-old Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia; three-year-old Pax Thien, who was adopted from Vietnam; two-year-old Zahara, who was adopted from Ethiopia; and daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple a year ago.

"I try to make sure that each of my children has enough of my attention to feel equal. I try to make sure that my relationship with the man in my life is solid and complete and we’re very connected and having a great life together and enjoying our children and being part of the world. So that’s my life," she says.

"We don’t go to parties. We hardly ever leave the house. We try to schedule time when we’re alone," says Jolie, who sports various tattoos, wore a vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around her neck during their marriage, and was blamed for Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston - which Pitt has denied.

"Right now, Pax is sleeping in our bed. It’s kind of nice, him immediately knowing and feeling comfortable with us," she says. "Madd slept with me until Brad and I got together. They’re fun to sleep with. We have family sleep on Sundays. Everybody sleeps together."



Shiloh turns one - June 1 2007
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has turned one - and the entire family celebrated in style in Prague, where mum Angelina is shooting her latest movie.

A whopping 50 balloons were brought in over the weekend, as well as cookies and cake to help the baby celebrate.

Angie had to work in the morning, but was back after lunch to spend the rest of the day with the birthday girl.

The entire Jolie-Pitt posse - Brad, Angie, Shiloh and the actress’s adopted children Maddox, Pax and Zahara - have been hanging out in Prague while Angelina shoots assassin thriller Wanted, which co-stars Morgan Freeman and Britain’s own James McAvoy.

And to stave off the boredom, Brad is making sure they do everything as a family, even the silly stuff.

One witness who saw the group together tells Us Weekly magazine: "One time, when the kids were bored, [Brad] had them all throwing empty pizza boxes as Frisbees. Obviously, Shiloh was too young to join in, but you could hear her laughing."


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.
