Angelina Jolie sat down for yet another interview to promote Changeling, but mostly talked about her family — though the real secret is how she's working out these days. While Brad supposedly got upset with Jennifer Aniston for her "uncool" Angelina comment, Jen talked to Oprah about how it was taken out of context, so hopefully everyone can move on. Meanwhile Angelina had some adorable things to say about Zahara and Maddox. Here's more:

- On how she stays 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?"
- On teaching her multi-cultural children: "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?"
To read what Angelina had to say about Brad with the children, her life, and Maddox just read more.
- On her life right now: "This is such a beautiful time for me. 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."
- On Maddox and Changeling: "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. 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!'"
As always, Angelina seems blissful and in love with her life right now, so hopefully all of the old emotions that have been stirred up this past week are on their way to being ancient history just like all that old drama.
















Luella
Giuseppe Zanotti
Dune
hmmm
1She's learning about cultures and gender issues as a mum, this will make her even more fire up!
2Awww Zahara, I never thought about it, there ISN'T a black Disney Princess
3I just love it when pop says old drama, lol..ha ha
4She talks to damn much.
5its like Angelina overload on pop this week
6Jolie should watch Mulan, she is Asian not Black but at least Mulan is action babe, zahara might like that. (i hope i'm spelling mulan right)
7Thats really cute about Mad carrying her. . . but I've really had enough of her/brad/jen lately - there are tons of other celebs I'd rather read about
8I am tired of Angelina - please make her go away to an island where we don't have to hear about her (and please take LiLo, Brit and Paris with you...).
9well - i guess it's interesting to see what she says about things, but it seems like if it's not angie that's stirring up trouble then it's jen - so brad's just got his hands fun doesn't he?
10It's difficult raising a black child when you're white, it's hugely complicated! Especially in a white country. And to make it worse it's a she not a he. It's worrying but hey man it isn't my problem, it is her
and I'm sure she can do it well with her african friends' help.
11Angelina Jolie said she is going to fade away from Hollywood was it? Seems like it is not starting anytime soon....
12You know I bet Benetton has approached them before. They would be perfect for that brand!
13angelina is in the news alot but she has two movies out. naturally shes going to do promotions about them and every interviewer is going to ask about her family. when she doesn't have anything going on you really don't hear from her. i mean when she was pregnant after promoting at cannes you didn't hear from her for at least 2 months. if people don't wanna hear about it then don't read it.
14More Angelina? Really? Is she the only warm body let in Hollywood, or what?
15The Princess and the Frog doesn't get released until 2009, so her statement is true to date about no African American Disney princesses.
16Finally white people get it. The frustration that even "black" Barbie, with her pointed nose and green eyes, has straight her. Ugh models, Beyonce, Naomi, Tyra, Gabrielle Union...this is not helping the self esteem of our young girls.
17I much prefer to hear about her and her film separately from charities. I thank god she isn't doing anything big on the charity front this time (i know i know she went away recently), but to me you just can't miix the two and something meaningful, sorry we aren't there yet, and she isn't the one to make it happen, she's way too starry.
18It makes more of an impact when she's doing her charities without a film there. Her UN works mean more at least to me when I forget she's in a film.
19"it just takes the right circumstances for you to meet a good man..."
Uh oh! I'm out of here!
20Amen Jessie!
You know whats interesting, the same ppl who feel that there's a Angie overload are the same ppl who clicked on the post and read the whole thing. Really... Is that how it works? (IMO of course!!)
21pleasse Ginger!
22The movie has already been made. No it hasn't been released, but they are already promoting the movie at Disney World and the african american princess is already a character walking around Disney. SOOOOOOO, yes Disney does have an African American Princess. Angelina just wanted to be able to take credit for it when they did make one because of her comment, and now she can't. Boo Hoo
It interesting to hear how she raises her family. And I never thought about the african princess. THey should. That would be awesome.
23I hope the princess can kick ass too, i hope it isn't a passive princess!
24That would be disappointing! Another docile princess..oh please.
25"No it hasn't been released, but they are already promoting the movie at Disney World and the african american princess is already a character walking around Disney."
And for those of us who dont visit Disney on daily basis would know all this how?
26I guarantee u I didnt read the whole post, just the headline and felt it is an OVERLOAD i have an opinion and I shared it, thanks!
27LOL, Bluesteyes...that's too funny
28"so hopefully everyone can move on."
Not a chance, Pop!
29Kiki tee lokk what you are going to start, lol
30No need to be spitting fire over it!
With 6 kids and a career, it's possible she doesn't know what unreleased films Disney has. The Barbie comment is still accurate. Even Kenyan Barbie had straight hair.
31Ckeller825 well we wouldn't our kids growing up needing a prince to make their lives perfect would we?
That would be tragic to young kids. Black or white. The princess should fight back and be the prince's equal.
32Isn't The Princess and the Frog set in New Orleans? She'll like that
"I want to teach them about all religions, and I'm trying to find a way to do that."
Good for her.
33I didn't know you can buy them sort of dolls? Wow..that's pretty cool.
34Waking up next to Brad would help me be positive too.
Ginger! Hahahahaha!
35
Ginger! Nice.
36The cutest African American dolls can be purchased at
karenskottage.org
The hair is really life like and you even get adoption papers
37She is so full of crap, fade away already Angie, fade away!
and Jen was classy with her comments Angie started it anyways when she rubbed it in that she and Brad fell in love on set of their movie and how she couldnt wait to get to work!!!! Ugh I just cant stand her or Brad anymore!
38I think that it's funny how so many people seem to pick apart every little thing the woman says and scrutinize it. This is how gossip and rumors start in the tabloids...we're only perpetuating it by doing it ourselves. I'm sure she isn't planning on taking credit for coming up with the idea of an African American Disney Princess.
Honestly, I thought what she said sounded sweet. And I thought it was really sweet what she tells Maddox.
39PS. I knew about the Princess and the Fog because I saw a preview of it at the movies last weekend.
40She did lie about the whole not wanting to have bio children until she saw how Brad acted with Maddox and Pax. Shilo was already born well before they adopted or had even met Pax. That just goes to show you she says what sounds good, except she's forgetting what's the truth and what's not the truth.
41Yeah, but the MAJORITY of the barbies have similar characteristics. When I was a kid most the black barbies had the same features and the same texture of hair. I don't think she was trying to take credit for anything she was just speaking the truth. She doing alot of interviews because she is promoting same as with Jennifer Anisten! So the constant complaining is tiring. Nobody is making you read anything. Finally,I glad they decided to have a black princess the preview of the movie looks good.
42Extremely complicated situation if you have one daughter who doesn't look anything like a Barbie and another that looks exactly like one. I wouldn't want my daughters playing with Barbies anyway. A piece of plastic with unrealistic proportions? Nah. Maybe instead of hunting for the perfect Barbie, she could teach her daughters about Maya Angelou, Emily Dickenson, the Bronte sisters, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie - those are the kinds of role models that girls should learn about anyway. JMO.
43But kids still want a doll. A Rosa Parks book isn't so cuddly for a toddler. Neither is Barbie, but it's rough if they play at others kids homes and see the toys and want their own.
44Angelina did not say that did she about not having biological children until seeing his interaction with mad and pax, somewhere it was misconstrued, she has to know when they got him
45Oh, and Kenyan Barbie was one of the Barbies of the World, era early 90s. She did have dark eyes and very short hair, but it was still straight. You can see them on eBay.
Dora is pretty popular as a multicultural doll, and she looks like a little girl. Although I like Boots more.
46I read the actual interview in the Australian Herald Sun and that's exactly what she said.
47I agree with Martini Rossi that the same people that complain about Angie being overposted are the 1st to comment. Just in case they were not aware POP posts different celebrities and a lot of them, so what everyone has to do which is what I do is just to flip through those that u don't like and open the ones u like. Like me I only like 95% just read or comment on the Jolie Pitts coz I like them most.So that way its fair for everyone and pleasant too. No offence to anyone. Thank you!!!Mercie beaucoup!!!!
48JENNIFER ANISTON RUINS EVERYTHING
By Eric Rezsnyak
Season 3 of “30 Rock” really should be subtitled “The Coming of the Guest Stars.” Since the show’s return three weeks ago we’ve had Megan Mullally (granted, not a huge name, but an NBC favorite from her stint as Karen on “Will & Grace”), Oprah Winfrey (OPRAH!), and now Jennifer Aniston. Next week it’s Steve Martin, and Salma Hayek is reportedly coming in for a guest arc in the near future.
I have no objection to guest stars, and “30 Rock” in particular has used them well - until now. Jennifer Aniston’s spot last night was terrible, and the entire show felt off. It was like the actors - Tina Fey in particular - just weren’t into it. (Her energy was so low, I have to wonder if this was filmed while she was doing double-duty as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live.”) Even the always-reliable Alec Baldwin seemed to be going through the motions. It was joyless, and the whole thing seemed like a LOT of work. I was exhausted just watching the thing.
Aniston played Liz and Jenna’s former Chicago roommate, a deranged sexpot that Liz correctly described as “full-on ‘Fatal Attraction.’” It sounds like a meaty, gonzo role, and I think Aniston probably did the best she could with it, but…Jennifer Aniston just isn’t a very good actress. I mean, I loved Rachel on “Friends.” She was my favorite character. And I think Aniston is largely pretty good in romantic comedies. But this role called for some over-the-top stuff, and Aniston played it so safe that, to me, it felt very forced. I never believed for a second that she was crazy. Annoying, yes. Possibly a little slow. But crazy? Not really.
I should confess that my personal feelings on Aniston probably colored my opinion somewhat. I just don’t get America’s continued fascination with the woman and her romantic life, or lack thereof. Consider that Aniston hasn’t had a hit movie in more than two years (”The Break-Up,” which was surprisingly successful) and instead has a string of duds to her name. She’s got a dog movie coming out for Christmas. A DOG MOVIE. And yet almost every week her face is splashed across 80 percent of the tabloids at the supermarket with a headline along the lines of “Jen’s pain” or something. She got dumped three years ago. And she’s STILL milking it in the newest Vogue. I can appreciate a bad-news buffet as much as the next schadenfruedic jackass, but enough is enough, lady.
49Maniston’s appearance on 30 rock last night BOMBED…3rd place & the ratings were DOWN from last week’s show!
50[ABC took the lead at 9 p.m. with a 5.9 for “Grey’s,” while CBS slid to second with a 5.1 for “CSI.” NBC was third with a 3.8 for “The Office” (4.0) and “30 Rock” (3.6), Univision and Fox tied for fourth at 2.3, Univision for more “Latin Grammys” and Fox for more “Nightmares,” with CW sixth with a 1.6 for “Supernatural.”]
