Angelina Jolie & her newly adopted Vietnamese son Pax barely escaped a kidnapping plot recently. This is actually not the first brush with plot for Jolie, who has been threatened many times in the past.
According to Life & Style, there was a kidnapping plan to snatch her son Pax when they arrived back in the United States. The kidnappers were planning on demanding a paltry $100 million for the safe return for the boy. PerezHilton, was this your idea?
The plot was to be carried out by a group of men who apparently pride themselves on their kidnapping expertise. An insider reveals, “They’re highly skilled operatives with little regard for human life.”
And though Angelina & partner Brad Pitt have had a series of threats, this particular one is being called ”credible and serious”.
Meanwhile, Pitt has installed a $500,000 security system in their New Orleans home which is actually just a block from the city’s police department.
Keep those babies close, Ang! Perez can be a bit of a commiter!

The only way I can explain it, is that James Haven is in love with his controlling sister Angelina Jolie. Recently Haven gave a steamy interview with a British tabloid of all things, revealing everything from the fact that their estranged father John Voight was a bastard, to Angelina being too thing to the love for his mother Marcheline Bertrand who died in January.
On the recent death of their mother, Haven reveals that Angelina is becoming a thinner Jolie "because she is grieving and often forgets to eat." Haven said he worries for his sister but understands why food had suddenly lost its flavor.
Haven also stated in the interview that he is very picky about the women he dates because James feels that Angelina is the perfect woman. Talk about a little creepy.Â
“She’s always been very protective of me with regards to my romantic life, which I love."
“She wants me to be with the right woman. When you come from a divorced home, divorce is what you desperately want to avoid.
“Maybe I haven’t found the right woman because my sister is too picky for me. Any woman has to go through two filters, me and then my sister.
“I’m a perfectionist by nature. Then, because I’m so close to Angie it’s like I’ve already got the perfect woman in my life and it’s hard for anyone else to live up to that.
Wow. I need to call up my brother & see why he's never expressed these type of feelings to me before. Oh, wait, never mind. I know why. Because it's freeking weird!

The word on the street is that Angelina Jolie was able to bring her latest adopted child home from his Vietnamese orphanage on Thursday.Â
Reuters revealed that before leaving with her new son, newly named, Pax Thien Jolie, Jolie penned a message into the orphanage’s visitor book.
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son,” Ang said.
“He has been with you for years. I’m sure he will miss your beautiful, caring staff as much as you will miss him.”
The orphanage’s director, Nguyen Van Trung, said of the three-year-old boy, “He’s the smartest and cleverest among the kids.”
Well, Pax sounds like a great addition to the Jolie & Brad Pitt brood. Congrats all around. I’m sure Pax & Maddox will get along just fine.

Actress Angelina Jolie & partner in crime Brad Pitt have completed the adoption process for their new Vietnamese son. The three-year-old boy, who has an interesting life ahead of him, was picked up Thursday at 9am local time.
Apparently Jolie is not only taking the adopted boy away from the culture he has known for three years, she is also renaming the child. The boy’s birth name is Pham Quang Sang & Jolie will be renaming him to Pax Thien Jolie. I wonder how he feels about that one… Interestingly, the adopted boy’s name means “light” in Vietnamese & Thien means “heaven”. So, it looks like Jolie is taking the boy away from the light & into heaven.
Vietnamese press reporters are saying that Pax cried during the adoption ceremony, as well as hid. Jolie reportedly comforted him, who was accompanied by her other adopted son Maddox.
Angelina & children finished up the ceremony around 10am & returned to their hotel. Wonder where ole Brad is?
Ang must now meet with United States officials who will review the adoption & issue a passport for the child. If everything goes well, Jolie will be able to bring home the new addition to their family by this weekend.
Congrats all around, I think.

In Angelina Jolie’s travels along the world, I have often wondered if anyone would try to kidnap the Hollywood beauty for ransom. And now it looks like New of the World has the answer & the answer is yes.
31-year-old Jolie admits to News of the World that authorities in a country she will not name discovered an intricate plan to abduct the actress.Â
“It was in a small village. I won’t say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom. I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily,” Jolie revealed to the UK paper.
Angelina’s partner, 43-year-old Brad Pitt, has expressed concern in the past about their family’s safety abroad, especially for their children, 5-year-old Maddox, two-year-old Zahara & nine-month old Shiloh.Â
“I don’t want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood,” Jolie goes on to say.
“But I want to help where there is poverty and destruction. I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team. Things only get difficult when it affects our children.â€
And speaking of children, Jolie & Pitt are currently in the process of expanding their little tribe, the couple will be adopting a boy from Vietnam.
When asked about how motherhood has changed her, Jolie stated, “It made me feel like a complete woman.”
“At times in my life I was lost, without a purpose, now I’m more grounded.”
So, it looks like Angelina will be with us for a while yet, dammit.

Well, the news has gone from adopted boy to girl, but the news is finally in that 31-year-old Angelina Jolie & 43-year-old partner Brad Pitt will be adopting a 4-year-old boy from Vietnam. Â
This newest addition to the Jolie-Pitt clan will be moving into the family’s $3.5 million New Orleans home in just a matter of months. According to the deputy head of Vietnam’s International Adoption Department, Nguyen Cong Khanh, the adoption could take place in just under four months.
The word on the street is that Jolie, who is the name on the adoption papers, will not get special treatment where the adoption in concerned. You know what I have to say about that? Yeah, right! I don’t really so much care about any Angelina preferential treatment, but it’s kinda silly to say that they’re won’t be any, don’t ya think?
“[Jolie] will have to follow procedure like any other American,” a Vietnamese official stated.
And I don’t think the incentive of $2 million dollars will be taken lightly. A Vietnamese insider reveals that Jolie plans to reward the orphanage a large sum of money when she adopts the lucky child.
“She promised to give $2 million to the Tam Binh orphanage on the very day she receives the child,” the insider stated.
What’s the actual adoption fee, you ask? Just a measly $125. Wow, you can buy a baby for $125. Maybe I shouldn’t get those Fendi shoes after all & pick up a baby on the way home instead.
Wow, another addition to the Jolie-Pitt family. My is it growing fast. I wonder what Brad Pitt’s family makes of his quickly growing family & what Jennifer Aniston makes of the adoption news……

Well folks, according to Celebitchy we finally have some fresh news on Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s next adoption. It looks like it’s a boy!
Apparently Jolie & Pitt have started the legal proceedings to adopt a Vietnamese boy. According to press reports, the hot couple have already begun to file the paperwork for the young child.
This new addition to the Jolie-Pitt family will have to find his own among their already established children, 5-year-old Maddox, 2-year-old Zahara & 9-month-old Shiloh.
“A source in Vietnam tells US Weekly the couple have filed papers with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, which they visited in November.
The pair have long been vocal about their desire to raise more international children.
Their son Maddox was born in Cambodia, while daughter Zahara was born in Ethiopia.
Jolie said recently, “If we’re going to have 10 kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young.—
Yes, if you’re going to have 10 damn children, you need to get it over with while you’re still in your right mind. I do have to hand it to the Jolie-Pitts, it’s nice to have a family out there trying to raise a tribe for the rest of us. Go team Jolie-Pitt, I say!
You tell me- Could you handle having 10 kids in the house?
Thanks to Celebitchy for the scoop & the awesome image.

Well, it took some work, but I managed to find a picture of skinnypants Angelina Jolie smiling. Angelina Jolie & her 2-year-old daughter Zahara were spotted Tuesday checking out the first day of Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Jolie, Brad Pitt & family recently moved to New Orleans’ French Quarter, where Ang & Z are assumingly watching the parades from their private balcony. What a great mother/daughter moment this was! Angelina has a real smile on her face, though Zahara doesn’t seem to know what to make of the festivities & Ang’s horrible forehead veins are almost unnoticeable. Almost, but not quite.

Life in the Big Easy hasn’t been so easy for actress Angelina Jolie. After moving to New Orleans with partner Brad Pitt & family in January, Jolie lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to cancer & she hasn’t been able to make any new friends. It’s apparently a very trying time for Ang right now.
With all that Jolie is going through, it’s no wonder that her health has suffered. The 5-foot, 8-inch star has dropped to an alarming 109 pounds since pulling up roots & relocating to Louisiana.Â
A source close to Jolie & Pitt reveals, “She isn’t eating.”
31-year-old Angelina is “very lonely and desperate to make new friends,†the insider goes on to say.
Recently Ang has started flying in her old childhood pals from Los Angeles as a sort of imported support system.
The Jolie insider states, “Brad has been worried about her day and night. She has been under so much stress, and Brad is trying to be understanding.â€
I guess we need to send Jolie a dark chocolate-dipped Britney Spears to keep her company. The two can talk about tattoos while Jolie feasts on Brit so she can gain that weight back. I think a cherry on top of that bald Spears head would do just thr trick, don’t you think?
You tell me- Are you worried about Angelina Jolie’s well-being in New Orleans?
Thanks to Us Weekly for the scoop & the skinny image.
Posted by Allison as Angelina Jolie, Deaths at 9:30 AM UTC on Jan, 29 2007

I’m sorry to be posting more than one item concerning deaths this morning, but it just can’t be helped.
Angelina Jolie’s actress mother, Marcheline Bertrand, succumbed to cancer Sunday afternoon at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Bertrand had been battling cancer for some time & was 56-years-old when she died.Â
From a family statement read after Bertrand’s death, 31-year-old Angelina, her beau Brad Pitt & Angelina’s brother James Haven were all at the hospital when Marcheline passed away.
“Angelina came to visit her two weekends ago and spent the afternoon with her in her room,” an insider revealed.
The former actress raised Jolie & Haven as a single mother after she & her husband Jon Voight divorced in 1978. Bertrand appeared in the movies Lookin’ to Get Out & The Man Who Loved Women .
A private funeral is being planned & in place of sending flowers, the family of Bertrand is asking that donations instead be made to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars Sinai.
Our thoughts are with the family during this time.

Ryan Seacrest is not at all happy with Angelina Jolie after she gave him the brush-off at Monday’s Golden Globe Awards. Seacrest, who is E!’s red carpet man, tried to interview Jolie during the awards pre-show only to get snubbed.
Wednesday on Ryan’s KIIS-FM radio show in Los Angeles, the red carpet guru gave Angelina a little what what.
“I asked her four questions and she didn’t even answer me,†Seacrest reveals.
“I literally stood there and tried to ask a couple of questions. At one point I just kind of let the E! microphone sit in front of her for a second to see if she was going to acknowledge it, and she clearly wanted nothing to do with me or my question or my answer or any of it.â€
As for Jolie’s other half, Brad Pitt, Ryan was more appreciative of his Q & A, saying, “Brad was fantastic.”
“I think doing good is fantastic,” Ryan said, praising Angelina for her charity work.
“Â A lot of people are benefitting around the world from their doing of all of these nobles things. But smile.”
Word to the wise, Jolie. Word to the wise. At least smile, or at least acknowledge the person that is apparently trying to talk to you.
You tell me- Was Angelina Jolie a little too smug for the Golden Globe Awards?

In the celeb world, rarely is there more awkwardness between two people than what Brad Pitt & ex-wife Jennifer Aniston share, and that goes double for each other’s pals.
After Pitt’s alleged affair with sex bomb Angelina Jolie, a rift occurred between Brad Pitt & team Aniston, especially with Jen’s BFF Courteney Cox. But it looks like it might just be forgive & forget time.  Dirt’s Courteney Cox & Babel’s Brad Pitt called somewhat of a truce Monday at the Golden Globe Awards dinner. Cox & her hubby David Arquette were close pals of Pitt when Jen and he were married, but have seldom talked since the Angelina Jolie business & the messy divorce.
Apparently at the Golden Globes Cox & Arquette approached Pitt on a balcony setup for the smokers of the house. Pitt responded by giving Cox a bear hug & saying, “Hello, sweetheart. It is so great to see you!â€
The trio talked it up for a while, talking back & forth about their children. At one point, Brad quipped, “We did Finding Nemo, but they’ve been off that for a while. We have a five-year-old!â€
Angelina Jolie, who was standing some feet away, eventually worked up the nerve to say hello before she led Brad back to the party. AND that, my dear friends, is why Angelina was being such a sourpuss at the Globes, I would guess. Even when Brad’s film Babel won Best Picture, it seemed that the two hugged everyone else but each other. A little jealousy on the part of the Jolie I would wager.Â
And look at the above picture, Brad is clearly looking elsewhere for this less than magical kiss.
You tell me- Will we ever see an end for Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie? Do you even want to?

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt have finally settled down somewhere after all their nomadic adventures. Where did the couple pick to live daily life? Why in New Orleans. I probably would have gone for like the Napa Valley or something, but okay.
Angelina, five-year-old Maddox, 2-year-old Zahara, 7-month-old Shiloh & her min squeeze Brad have set up house in the city that’s trying to rebuild itself slowly.Â
Jolie revealed that New Orleans is a hit for her family, saying, “We love it there. The kids are going to go to school there. We’re really looking forward to it.â€Â No private tutors? That’s a surprise.
Apparently on Jaunary 12, a day after the Jolie-Pitt clan moved to New Orleans, Jolie was already trying to mix in with the locals at Angeli on Decatur restaurant.Â
Fellow diner Jorge Palacios said no one recognized Jolie as the superstar she is, stating, “No one at my table believed me when I told them it was her.â€
And I imagine that’s just what Ang wants.Â
You tell me- Do you think New Orleans is a good home for Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt?
