Angelina Jolie Uncensored!

In the July issue of Vanity Fair, out next week, Angelina Jolie shares her innermost feelings about life, love, marriage, and her career with writer Rich Cohen. The full story will be available on VF.com on Monday, but in the meantime here is an exclusive preview of her frank remarks about birth, babies, nannies, and more. (Click the image to enlarge.)

Angelina Jolie on being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

Angelina Jolie on her international family:
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”

Angelina Jolie on Shiloh’s birth:
“We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

Angelina Jolie on nannies:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Bel-gium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”

Angelina Jolie on artists as parents:
“Artists raise their kids differently,” she said. “We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Brad Pitt’s manager denied a television report on Friday that Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, who has publicly acknowledged she was expecting twins with the actor, had given birth to them in France this week.

“It’s not true. It’s a rumor,” Pitt’s Los Angeles-based talent manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante, told Reuters in a statement issued by her office. She declined further comment.

However, “Entertainment Tonight” said it stood by its report earlier in the day that Jolie had given birth to twin daughters in France, attributing the story to an unidentified person close to the actress.

“The source says she was inside the delivery room, tells ‘ET’ yes, the babies were born, and yes, mother and daughters are fine,” the syndicated program said in its broadcast.

The story was disputed almost from the start by various other celebrity news outlets, with People magazine quoting an unnamed representative for Jolie on its Web site as saying: “Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France.”

Meanwhile, another celebrity publication, Britain’s NOW magazine, reported the latest additions to the Jolie-Pitt clan had already been named Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane.

There was no immediate comment from Jolie’s Los Angeles-based manager.

The only maternity clinic in the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence, the region where Jolie and Pitt were believed to be staying, said it had no information. Town hall officials there said they were aware of the media reports but did not know if they were true.

Just two weeks ago Jolie, 32, publicly acknowledged she was pregnant with twins during an interview at the Cannes film festival, where she was promoting the animated film “Kung Fu Panda” and the latest Clint Eastwood drama, “The Exchange.”

In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine due to hit newsstands next week and excerpted on its Web site on Friday, Jolie said Pitt found her to be very appealing when pregnant.

“I’m fortunate,” she told the magazine. “I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. … I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

In Touch magazine reported this week that Jolie had been ordered to bed for the remainder of her pregnancy and was due to give birth via a Caesarean section around mid-July.

Jolie and Pitt, 44, whose romance became public after they co-starred in the 2005 film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” already have one biological daughter together, Shiloh, who was delivered by Caesarean section a year ago in the southern African nation of Namibia.

The Hollywood couple also are the parents of three adopted children — daughter Zahara, 3, from Ethiopia, son Pax, 4, from Vietnam and son Maddox, 6, from Cambodia.

Jolie, who turns 33 next week, won an Academy Award as best supporting actress for her role in the 1999 film “Girl, Interrupted.”

“ET” reports Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins, “People” says she hasn’t

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — “Entertainment Tonight” is reporting that Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins in France — but People magazine says that’s not true.

The television show reported the news on its Web site, citing a source close to Jolie that it did not name.

However, a Jolie representive told People that the actress has not given birth.

“Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France,” the representative told People, according to the magazine’s Web site.

The twins would be the fifth and sixth children for the couple known as Brangelina. Their other children are 6-year-old Maddox, 4-year-old Pax, 3-year-old Zahara and 2-year-old Shiloh.

The pair recently moved into the Miraval Estate villa in the French hamlet of Correns, in the Provence region, according to the mayor and the inn’s owner.

CANNES - A glowing Angelina Jolie again showed off her baby bump to the press and revealed that the memory of Jolie’s own late mother inspired her newest performance.

She and Clint Eastwood were in Cannes to promote “Changeling,” a drama set in 1920s Los Angeles and based on a true story involving a disappearing boy, a serial killer and a corrupt LAPD. It opens in New York this November.

Looking lovely in a black pant suit and high heels, Jolie said that being a modern woman who speaks her mind made it hard to embody a woman from the Twenties - until Jolie thought of her own mother.

“I lost my mother a few months before the film and to me [this character is] very much like my mother,” said Jolie at a press conference right after the film’s world premiere. Her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, died in January of 2007.

“My mother was very passive in many ways and very, very sweet but when it came to her children she was a lion. Christine reminded me of my mom and it was a way to revisit my mother and spend time with her. So it was very nice and - in that way - very healing and interesting for me.”

In the film, Jolie is politely anguished as Collins, a single working mother whose young son goes missing. Months later, when the police bring her a boy that she immediately says is not her son, Collins finds herself bullied into taking in the boy and later incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital by a police force that doesn’t want any bad press for having made a mistake.

Jolie’s character quietly takes control of her fate in a world where women only recently earned the right to vote. She uses the media to get her story out, works with a preacher who campaigns against police corruption (John Malcovich) and stays focused on one simple question: what happened to her son?

Jolie hesitated before following her wrenching work in “A Mighty Heart” (in which she played a woman whose husband was kidnapped and beheaded) with another emotional drama.

“When I first read it, I couldn’t put it down and then I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” said the 32 year old partner of Brad Pitt. “But I didn’t necessarily want to do it. I didn’t want to experience what that felt like for months. When Clint was doing it, I knew that he would help me through it and that it wouldn’t be too painful.”

When Clint Eastwood was asked if rumors he would play Dirty Harry one more time were true, he said, “No, that rumor is incorrect.” Jumped in Jolie, “I am,” prompting laughter and Eastwood’s wry response, “Dirty Harriet?”

Angelina Jolie’s latest role in a movie directed by Clint Eastwood and presented at Cannes Film Festival, turns out to be one of her most personal as she recognizes the figure of his dead mother in it, People Magazine reported.

“I lost my mother a few months before filming,” the actress said at a press conference in Cannes.

The movie is about a mother’s search for her missing child, based on a true 1928 incident in Los Angeles that eventually helped alter the California judicial system.

“My character reminded me of my mother, and it was a kind of way to revisit my mom after passing and spend time with her,” said Jolie, whose mother, Marcheline Bertrand, lost a battle with ovarian cancer in January 2007. Bertrand was 56.

“My mother was very passive in many ways and very, very sweet - but when it came to her children, she was a lion,” the star explained.

Putting on her humanitarian hat, Jolie spoke of a bureaucratic legal system that hasn’t necessarily changed, despite the passing of the years since the period when her new movie takes place.

“It is symbolic of many things happening today,” Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency, added.

Festivalgoers call the craze “Cannes-gelina.”

Angelina Jolie has been the belle of the Cannes International Film Festival, enchanting the crowds as she promotes two new films while displaying a prodigious belly of twins.

First came “Kung Fu Panda’s” premiere last week. Then there was Tuesday’s “Changeling,” a Clint Eastwood-directed drama opening Nov. 7 about a mother in 1928 Los Angeles whose child disappears, but the boy returned to her is not her son.

She says she’s responding to the crush of attention with calm: “It has been lovely. I did my first day, then got to get home for dinner and got to hang out and play Barbies and things” with Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 1.

The key, she says, is to enjoy the festival’s circus-like atmosphere instead of fighting it.

“It has been really nice. With a film like ‘Kung Fu Panda,’ it’s so easy and fun. Even doing the red carpet - people can tend to get very serious about that, with competition - but we got to go up with a (costumed) panda,” she says with a laugh. “It all remained fun and in the spirit of kids’ movies.”

Another important part of being a festival star: comfortable shoes. She recommends a low heel with a Nike sole.

Jolie says the attention has not been overwhelming.

“It’s not such hard work. I’m sitting and talking a lot, and people are being very nice to me. If I was feeling too pregnant, everybody said I didn’t have to come. So I was feeling all right,” she says. “The photography and all that can be something that is not fun to live with, (but) when you come here and you’re proud of something then it’s a positive thing.”

Jolie doesn’t want to announce the gender of her twins, and she says she and partner Brad Pitt haven’t decided where she’ll give birth.

“Because we have twins, we have to get to know a doctor wherever we’re based, just in case they come early,” she says.

The secrecy is partly about avoiding the paparazzi, the actress adds. “It’s not as much focused on the whole celebrity side of it. It’s about wanting the experience of birth, and also spending time with the other children. It just should be a very beautiful time, for any woman.”

Before daughter Shiloh was born, the family set up in a remote town in Namibia. “We spent our days with the children on safari, or in the dunes, or painting, or just having a beautiful time.”

While in Cannes, she also is doing interviews for the action-thriller “Wanted” (June 27), in which she plays a Dodge Viper-driving, gun-blazing assassin.

She points out that she’s not doing anything all that extraordinary - it’s what many women do up until they give birth. “I just have to do my job.”

“Changeling,” Clint Eastwood’s latest film starring Angelina Jolie, got a warm round of applause Tuesday at its press screening in Cannes where it is competing for the top prize.

The Changeling, to get its official premiere later in the day, tells the story of single mother Christine Collins (Jolie) in 1920s California whose nine-year-old son Walter goes missing.

Months later police turn up with a boy they say is Walter, whom Christine takes home, but she knows in her heart he is not Walter.

Helped by community activist Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), she battles against all the odds to prove it and in doing so brings down an entire police department.

Eastwood is back in Cannes vying for the Palme d’Or in spite of mixed acclaim here for his 2003 entry “Mystic River.”

Angelina Jolie made a fashion statement of mythic proportions Tuesdday when she swept down the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival in a billowing caftan-style goddess gown.

The heavily pregnant Jolie played against type: She didn’t show cleavage and didn’t show leg - yet she still managed to steal the limelight on what is one of the most competitive red carpets in the world.

Instead of showing off her curves, the 32-year-old showed how (in the words of designer Reem Acra, who custom-created last night’s dress) “covering up can be more chic.”

Ironically, Angelina debuted her demure look at a 61-year-old film fest best known for exposing the assets of starlets desperate to attain sexpot status.

In 1953, a little-known actress named Brigitte Bardot became a household name after she stunned onlookers by posing in a bikini for the paparazzi.

A year later, a nubile Simone Silva took it a step further, whipping off the top of her bikini during a press conference to the shock of the press and co-star Robert Mitchum, who sat - slack-jawed - by her side.

Ever since, actresses in search of the spotlight (industry-speak: Canne’d Heat) have let it all hang out in the South of France this time each year.

But this year, Angelina - along with trend-setting peers including Gwyneth Paltrow, Calista Flockhart and Salma Hayek - appear to be using the exposure they’re getting in Cannes to turn to a clean fashion page.

Blame Britney or Lindsay, but A-list celebrities are feeling the need to distance themselves from the attention-grabbing antics of Hollywood’s younger pack. Experts say we can expect to see Hollywood’s established actresses wearing more modest, less flashy red-carpet gowns.

“These are actresses who’ve already arrived,” says celebrity stylist Mary Alice Stephenson, noting the cool grownup brand of glamour also exhibited by Natalie Portman (in a ruffled purple frock) and Paltrow (who wore a simple, toga-style Lanvin dress) in Cannes this week. “These women have attention 2-4/7. They don’t need anymore.”

Jolie, Stephenson says, looked “fashion appropriate, elegant and above all comfortable” yesterday in her Hellenic-style caftan. “There’s an ease to the ‘goddess’ look that is very feminine and also very much a sexy party style,” says Stephenson, who as usual had a practical observation: “It’s really hot and sticky in Cannes, so it makes sense that stars are wearing loose-fitting dresses. They want to stay cool.” Especially, in Angelina’s case, when they’re dressing for three.
