Angelina Jolie looking beautiful (as always) in a pretty grey trench coat. Check out the rest of the pictures at JustJared.com one of my fav sites to check for recent celeb pictures and news..and dare I say Gossip?

Never.

It pays to live in France. Literally! I Read this in People Mag about what they pay people who have kids..and now I’m packing..France here I come..I could pass for French..poli vu france?

With their brood of six kids, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are eligible for almost $2,600 a month in child benefits – though it’s highly unlikely the couple will accept the cash.
Just before the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne, the movie stars moved into the Chateau Miraval in the south of France.
Pitt, 44, registered the family at the town hall in nearby Brignoles – making them qualify for France’s generous parenting subsidies. (The benefits are available to all families, regardless of their financial means.)
No one expects the Jolie-Pitt clan to cash in, but they are technically eligible for a “nanny payment” of $975.84 a month, not to mention an “orphan allowance” of $508.97 for each of their three adopted children. The grand total, $2,592.81, would be payable by check each month.
“We do not discuss individual benefits cases,” said a spokeswoman for the Brignoles council. “But [we] can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”

BUT…According to People.com, Brad Pitt, Angie and their family of six have left their French home of five months and arrived in Germany, where locals expect them to stay throughout the fall. The Jolie-Pitt’s new address? The posh Palais Parkschloss on Wannsee Lake in Berlin. The family apparently arrived in Berlin Tuesday afternoon on a private plane. An eyewitness told People.com,

“Brad lifted the kids out of the plane and brought them to the transporter. I saw him lift out Shiloh and Zahara.”

The reason for their move is that Brad Pitt is filming Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards. The Jolie-Pitt’s new home is nearly 30,000 square feet and includes a boat dock and a helicopter pad. holy crap!!!

Domestic Bliss

Domestic Bliss. The Steven Klein shoot that started it all: Mr. and Mrs. Smith costars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie play house in Palm Springs. (July 2005)

I love this photo shoot … it was shot after the two had finished filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith and before the world knew they were “romantically” involved…it caused a ton of gossip based around Brad’s recent break up with “poor” Jennifer Aniston and the evil “Hot” husband stealer, Angelina.

These pictures predicted a house full of 5 small kids which makes them only one kiddie off from what became the real JoliePitts. Pretty trippy.

Brad Pitt collaborates with photographer Steven Klein to create this portfolio of images, while starring in it alongside his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar and purported new love, Angelina Jolie.

Rewind…left in the dust

Pitt and Aniston, 36, were married in a lavish seaside ceremony in Malibu, north of Los Angeles, in June 2000, after meeting on a blind date in 1998.

For four and a half years they were Hollywood’s leading couple - blond, beautiful, famous and rich.

Then Angelina Jolie enters the picture.

Brad insists he didn’t act on his attraction to Jolie until he and Aniston ended their marriage.
“Is this where we got off? Have we taken this as far as we wanted to go?” he says he and Aniston asked themselves. “Those questions had to be answered before an attraction to Angie could be answered.”
Asked if he thinks he handled the split well, Pitt replies, “I don’t know how better to have handled it…The thing guiding me then was you don’t know how many days you have, and you need life to be everything you need it to be.”

How Travis Barker and DJ AM Survived the Fatal Plane Crash that Killed 4

Barker and his close friend and musical partner DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, climbed onto the right wing of a flaming Learjet that was to have delivered them and four others to Los Angeles on Saturday.

“Once they slid down the wing, they had to jump on each other to put each other out,” Lieutenant Josh Shumpert, of the South Congaree Police Department, recalled the men telling him after the commuter jet crashed on the runway in Columbia, South Carolina.

Shoeless, in shock and in pain, Barker and Goldstein kept asking for an ambulance and worrying about their friends still inside, said Shumpert, one of the first responders on the scene.

“They were pacing back and forth,” he said. The men did not appear to be burned as badly as he expected.

The crash killed Barker’s two assistants and the plane’s crew.

Shumpert said Goldstein, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts or boxers, was hurt worse.

The lieutenant and Columbia resident Bill Owens were among the first to arrive. A dashboard camera from Shumpert’s cruiser captured the turmoil, and the officer gave his first extended interview yesterday.

“I remember seeing the DJ guy with burns on his arms and the back and top of his head,” Schumpert said.

He did not see burns on Barker, though he acknowledged it was dark.

“I think he had on one sock. Either that, or they were both real nasty. He did not have a shirt on.”

Doctors at an Augusta burn centre said Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, have second and third-degree burns. They are likely to recover fully, doctors have said.

“Travis was more visibly shaken than the other guy,” said the 25-year-old lieutenant, who since the crash has come to refer to the drummer by his first name.

Neither Barker, who is covered in tattoos, nor Goldstein said much. Shumpert tried to comfort them, not knowing until an hour later that they were celebrities.

Barker was a member of the multi platinum-selling rock band blink-182. Its biggest album was 1999’s recording Enema of the State which sold more than 5 million copies in the US alone. He is now a drummer with +44 and owns a restaurant and clothing firm.

He is divorced from a former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler. They have two children. Barker then had a romance with Paris Hilton.

Goldstein, who has scratched on albums for Madonna, Papa Roach and Will Smith and owns popular LA club LAX, was previously engaged to reality TV star Nicole Richie, whom was said to have broken down when she heard the news. After his breakup with Richie, Goldstein dated singer and actress Mandy Moore.

He collaborated with Barker in several performances, including the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

Neither Shumpert nor fellow witness Owens, an acoustic guitar player himself, saw the musicians escape the plane.

The lieutenant said his account came from the survivors, who have yet to be interviewed by aviation investigators.

Federal aviation investigators said the crew reported hearing a plane tire blow out moments before the plane ran off the runway and over S.C. 302 then burned. But the cause remains under investigation.

The dead, all from Southern California, include pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, co-pilot James Bland, 52, Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker, 29, and bodyguard, Charles Still, 25.

Owens, a 60-year-old in the cargo delivery business, said he happened upon the crash before rescuers.

“It was straight up 12 o’clock,” Owens said. He was driving his van from Columbia to a friend’s place in Lexington County.

“I saw a ball of fire cross the highway,” he said. “It was so fast I didn’t know what I’d seen. It looked phantomlike.”

As Owens stopped in his traffic lane, he saw two men flailing their arms, trying to put out their burning clothes.

“They’re going in circles. They’re on fire. They’re freaked out.”

Owens dials 9-1-1.

One of the men, whom Owens learned was Goldstein, put out the flames on himself quickly.

“The other guy is running across the highway to get himself to the grass to roll,” Owens said.

But Barker and Goldstein appear to have realized he did not have time to cross the five-lane road.

“The DJ comes over and must be screaming at him, ‘Get out of the clothes.’

“He’s standing there naked. I see all this tattoos.”

In the chaos of orange flames and black smoke, Owens noticed a stream of jet fuel snaking across the road. It had not yet ignited, though the jet was engulfed.

“All I said to them is, ‘Who’s on board?’ All they said to me is, ‘four people.’ There was no conversation. I heard somebody say, ‘Oh my God!”

For a moment, the three thought about trying to help trapped victims. “Where do you go? What do you do?” Owens said.

“No! Forget it! There is nothing we can do.”

He said he saw four cars stopped on the other side of the wreckage.

One person got out. Owens thinks it was a woman. She gave Barker some shorts.

Four days later, Owens said he feels guilty. “I’m concerned that I didn’t react quickly. I reacted cautiously.”

He also is amazed the musicians’ injuries weren’t worse.

“They were so silent. They made no indication they were in pain. I’m surprised there were no broken bones. They were thrown to the ground by a crashing plane.”

Shumpert sees a greater power at work.

“For them to escape, it was God looking out for them. It wasn’t their time.”

A source close to AM (real name Adam Goldstein) told Fox News that while the family is totally devastated, they are staying positive and strong, and they are just deeply thankful that he survived.

“He has text messaged a few very close friends and told them he’s OK,” a source said.

I wish him the best in his recovery, both physically and mentally. He has a long journey ahead of him. I always thought they were such a cute couple I hope this brings them back together. He needs someone to stick by his side right now.

Actor Paul Newman dies at 83

The blue-eyed star of ‘The Hustler,’ ‘Cool Hand Luke’ and ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ was at home. He had long battled cancer.

Stunningly handsome, Newman maintained his superstar status while keeping his distance from its corrupting influences through nearly 100 Broadway, television and movie roles. As an actor and director, he evolved into Hollywood’s elder statesman, admired off screen for his quiet generosity, unconventional business sense, race car daring, political activism and enduring marriage to actress Joanne Woodward.

Annoyed by the public’s fascination with his resemblance to a Roman statue and his Windex-blue eyes, Newman often chose offbeat character roles. In the 1960s, he helped define the American anti-hero and became identified with the charming misfits, cads and con men in film classics such as “The Hustler,” “Hud,” “Cool Hand Luke” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”
Paul Newmans dying wish was to die at home with his family and the ones he loved..his wish came true. Rest in Peace Paul — Say Hello to Marilyn Monroe!

I love Marilyn Monroe

I’m not sure what it is about Marilyn that causes her to remain one of the most famous women in the world or why to this day people still worship her and her pictures.
I mean obviously she was beautiful but is she the most beautiful? Maybe to some but I don’t think that’s necessarily true or the answer. Was it her talent? Nope don’t think so. Was it her tragic story? I think a little. I think people feel that they can personally relate with Marilyn Monroe’s story but there are a lot of famous and beautiful women that have tragic stories.
I can not say what it is but I do know that it’s true. Marilyn Monroe’s images, movies and story.. will live on forever.
People love her. Young and old.

I’m in the process of designing a wallpaper set today so I’ll be posting those later if your interested.

Please leave a comment if you like what you see her. Maybe you have some insight into what it is about Marilyn Monroe that makes her a timeless icon? I’d love to hear your opinions. You can post comments without a subscription.

Lindsay Lohan posed for a very special edition of New York Magazine with photographer Bert Stern. Lindsay Lohan recreated the 1962 nude portraits of Marilyn Monroe by Bert Stern known as “The Last Sitting.” Stern has, now 46 years later, revisited those shots with Lindsay.

Forty-six years later, Stern has revisited his classic shots with Lindsay Lohan, another actress whose prodigious fame is not quite commensurate with her professional achievements. Stern, who shot the photos on film rather than digitally, told me he was interested in Lohan because he suspected “she had a lot more depth to her” than one might assume from “those teenage movies.” Indeed, many in the film industry believe that Lohan has yet to pursue projects equal to her gifts. Without putting too fine a point on it, you might say Lohan has, like Monroe, a knack for courting the tabloids and tripping up her career. (Readers will remember that Lohan had her own Billy Wilder moment two summers ago on the set of Georgia Rule.) Stern said the project also grew out of his interest in “controversial women,” or “bad girls,” like “Britney, Paris, and Lindsay.” Monroe was, in a sense, the original tabloid queen.

Though Lohan’s willingness to reprise the photos might seem a sly nod to her scandalous past, the actress offered a straightforward explanation. “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.” During a break in the daylong shoot, Lohan sat cross-legged on a bed in the four-room suite and spoke to me, in that familiar throaty voice with its staccato rhythms, about her abiding obsession with Monroe. Her interest took root a decade ago with multiple viewings of Niagara during the London filming of The Parent Trap. She has even purchased an apartment where Marilyn once lived. “If you saw my house … I have a lot of Marilyn stuff,” she told me, including a huge painting of Monroe.

Remember when…Britney was baby sweet and the perfect southern belle? Doesn’t seem like that long ago but then again it seems like a lifetime ago when I look at these pictures of her.
Wow where did things go wrong for this girl? The break up with Justin the bad marriage to wigger of the century? Two babies one ofter another? Crazy mama? Crazy Daddy? Wild baby sister following in her footsteps? Paparazzi mania? Too much Money? Too much Fame? Too many pills? not enough pills? Who knows..my guess is it was all of the above and then some.
Well..it does seem she’s actually doing a whole lot better now so we all have to give Britney some credit for pulling her act together. That’s not always easy and a whole lot of other young stars like Britney who become SUPER famous at a very young age never make it back from completely bat shit crazy.
So.. at least she’s trying. At least she’s putting one foot in front of the other, not wearing bright pink wigs, shaving her head, driving from gas station to gas station with her “friends” the paparazzi in tow..so she’s seems to have changed her ways..maybe..well so far so good..I wish her the best always.

Now if Amy Whinehouse .. that’s another sad story..

Check out the baby Britney Pics..

Ohhh!! Christina Aguilera you bad, bad good girl!

Christina Aguilera says her husband Jordan Bratman is happy for her to look sexy.
“The beauty about my marriage is that Jordan gives me such freedom,” she says. “He gets what I do for a living”. “He’s not jealous at all”.
“He just stands back with the biggest smile on his face. He’s like: “Do it baby! You’ve got it, flaunt it!”
And Christina, 29, who gave birth to son Max eight months ago, says she’ll never change her liberal attitude.
‘I’m a very sexual person,’ and ‘I’ve felt empowered by my sexuality since I was 21.
‘That won’t change because I’m a mommy.’

Go Christina!!

Earlier this year, she revealed she and Jordan, 31, have ‘Naked Sundays‘.

She’s obviously not shy about her body.. I’ll give her that much…Rock on Christina!

Skinny Dipping & Nosy Neighbors..

She’s also been skinny dipping with her man in their $6 million Beverly Hills mansion, much to the dismay of neighbours.

The Sun reports one as saying: “They don’t just splash around – they laugh, scream, swear and make sexy noises.

“We’re happy that they’re happy, but we wish they would keep it down a bit.

“There are a lot of old people who live around here, and they don’t like noise after the dinner hour.”

I think that’s freaking awesome..her neighbor should lighten up and enjoy life a little more themselves and personally I think if she paid $6 million dollars for her home then she damn well better be able to make as much noise as she damn well pleases in it and around it. Naked noise even! Haha! :)

I think they’re attitude towards marriage and parenthood is awesome and with their attitude they’ll probably last forever..!

I think she is the sexiest woman alive and I can’t really put my finger on why exactly but she just is. Period. There are over 157 Angelina Jolie pictures in this gallery..and all of them are Hot!!! Hot!!! Plus a bunch of them are wallpapers sized images. If you make user icons like me..then you can use them as base images for Angelina Jolie icons/banners. I was gonna make some icons myself of her but then I got lazy after sitting here for 40 minutes creating this post. Software Credit: I made this thumbnail gallery with Infranview my “can’t live without” image editor (freeware). If you’ve never heard of it then I highly recommend it.

Courtney commented on the VMA’s and the Jonas Bros…(It’s a tad hard to read..it’s a straight quote)

i didnt go to the “VMAS” as we used to call them but theyve gotten so fucking Urban i dont know i guess Van Toffler thought ( hes an exec at MTV ) he was being edgy and he WAS by letting my darkling prince Brand host the mtv awards- but theyre not the “VMAS” and they never will be again - i had ZERO desire to watch let alone go and thats one of my very favourite people ive ever known or had the honour of being friends and fiends with hosting it so i feel horribly rude that my desire not to watch assholes with chastity rings- oh for fucks sake ive had some great conversations but not ONE has ever ended in an Orgasm, y’all need some pussy and some cock and shut the hell up-

..but fuck it, its irrelevant, i am DAMMIT CELEBRATORY- i love when a friend does well and Russell appears to have done quite well- ist not exactltya fucking rock fest at mtv its…… “date my mom” remember- and it will never revert back to reliably rock n roll- its just the economiclevel of thier decision marketing wise to “grow with thier audience”" aka save mass money on shows by just predating on peoples insane desire and frenzy to be on insanely dysfunction al reality shows for free.

Courtney Love recently spent over $323,000 on her daughter’s birthday party.

She spared no expense in ushering Frances Bean into adulthood at her ‘RIP childhood‘ themed 16th birthday.

The event - held at Los Angeles’ House of Blues restaurant - saw Frances sporting a dress previously worn by her father Cobain at a performance at Reading Festival.

Courtney arrived in a dress worn by actress Angelica Huston in creepy comedy movie ‘The Addams Family’.
