Angelina and Brad expecting? - Oct 30 2007
Angelina Jolie has apparently cancelled a talk in Italy - after rumours emerged that she and Brad Pitt are expecting another baby.

The Tomb Raider actress was expected to give a lecture at the UN-linked Pio Manzu Centre, near Rimini, about important global issues - but pulled out at the last minute due to "personal reasons", reports The Sun.

Italian newspaper reports said it was because she discovered she is pregnant with her second child by Brad - making her brood, including her adopted children, up to five.

Letizia Manjani, a spokeswoman for the centre, told the paper: "Angelina cancelled last week. Due to her privacy I can't confirm her pregnancy, but I can say that the Italian newspapers are correct in their reports."

The couple - who have biological daughter Shiloh, 18 months, and adopted kids Maddox, six, Zahara, two, and three-year-old Pax Thien - have recently spoken out about their desire to add to their family.



Brangelina to make aid work drama - Oct 23 2007
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are set to make their first joint producing effort with a drama series on the lives of aid workers, according to US reports.

The as-yet-untitled drama will explore the behind-the-scenes politics of an international aid organisation and chronicle the lives of humanitarian workers assigned to dangerous zones and the people in need who they assist, industry magazine The Hollywood Reporter said.

Angelina, 32, and Brad, 43, will be executive producers along with Scott Burns, who co-wrote The Bourne Ultimatum and also produced the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

Since 2001, Angelina has been a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations’ refugee agency, travelling to "hot" zones to help people displaced by wars and natural disasters.

The couple, who have four children - Maddox, six, Pax, three, Zahara, two, and 16-month-old Shiloh - have also supported a number of international aid organisations through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Doctors Without Borders and Global Action for Children each received a one million dollar (£500,000) donation through the foundation.

Brangelina attend Clinton conference - Sept 28 2007
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have joined world leaders and scholars aiming to tackle the world’s problems.

The third Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York is expected to raise billions to help tackle the issues of global warming, poverty, health and education.

More than 10 billion dollars (£5bn) was pledged in the first two conferences, and participants were expected to pledge more this year.

Brangelina joined Tony Blair, tennis star Andre Agassi and media mogul Rupert Murdoch on this year’s guest list.

As the three-day conference opened, former US President Bill Clinton and Florida Governor Charlie Crist announced plans for a new solar power plant as part of a 2.4 billion dollar (£1.2bn) clean energy programme in the Sunshine State.

"This is a huge deal for America and I think potentially a huge deal for people all around the world who want to do this," Mr Clinton said.

At a luncheon session, Brad announced that his Make It Right project was prepared to break ground by the end of the year on 150 affordable green homes in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
