Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie brought 19-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox out of hiding on February 22 for a stroll through Venice, Italy.
Life & Style has the deets on the family affair, which also included kids Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 3. “[Angie] was fussing over the kids to make sure they were covered,” a witness tells the mag. “She was being a very loving and doting mom. She even wanted to make sure their little ankles were covered — it was very cute!” The cold wasn’t getting them down. “The whole family seemed happy,” the witness adds.
On Feb. 16, the Jolie-Pitts stopped for ice cream — lemon for Angie, black cherry, vanilla, caramel and strawberry for the kids, nothing for Brad — at La Gelateria Lo Squero. “They seemed very peaceful, happy,” co-owner Beatrice Zennaro tells Life & Style. “I read in the newspapers that they were having problems, but it didn’t seem the case.”
They also grabbed lunch at Enoteca Cantinone Gia Schiavi, a restaurant and wine bar. Brad and Angie split most of a bottle of La Poja, an Italian red wine, and bought two bottles to go, owner Lino Gastaldi reveals.

You know how Angelina Jolie is thinking about playing the title role in Tim Burton's Maleficent? Well, InTouch Weekly thinks she's perfect for the role since she's basically a living (?), breathing (??) version of the Mistress of Evil (cackle, thunder, cackle)!

In this week's issue, they talk to one of Brangelina's former bodyguards who says that Angie is a cold-hearted witch who laughs haughtily at her children's cries and regularly screams at her staff. Kate Gosselin is about to throw a copyright infringement lawsuit at Angie for stealing her swagger! From InTouch:

In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's former bodyguard describes what he claims to be a woman whose erratic behavior, yelling fits and unreasonable demands deeply hurt not only staff members -- but especially Brad and their six children. "Angelina has a public and a private persona," claims the former bodyguard, who for security reasons chooses only to be identified by his first name, Bill. "In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn't do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she's totally psycho."

While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids' often wild behavior, Angelina is anything but. "She screams and yells a lot, then walks away," Bill says, explaining that Angelina would often "disappear into her suite for hours," leaving staffers -- and Brad -- to deal with her children. "She would punish them with silence," says Bill, adding, "I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way." If the children were to get upset by her withholding behavior, he says, Angelina didn't seem to care. "She is not moved by tears," he explains. Still more disturbing, he recalls, Angelina has a "quirky habit" of "giggling when one of her kids would start crying."

The bodyguard, who was working for Brad and Angelina at the start of their relationship, remembers "a lot of laughing and fun" and "spontaneous sex" back then. Now, though, the couple often sleeps in separate bedrooms, and that honeymoon phase seems to be ancient history. Even when they aren't actively arguing, Bill says, Angelina "nitpicks" Brad -- criticizing him constantly. "She says things like, 'Are you going to wear that shirt again today?' and tells him he's like another one of the kids." According to Bill, Brad has come to dread Angelina's phone calls. "She'll call him from the set to interrogate him," Bill explains. "His face goes white, and he just stares at his feet." When Angelina's yelling gets to be too much, Brad will "put her on speaker and walk away from the phone," Bill reveals. "Angelina will hang up and continue calling until one of the staff picks up."

This straight from the Department of No More Wire Hangers. Maddox better be writing a tell-all right now, because I've been waiting for a sequel to Mommie Dearest. He can call it Saintly Dearest.

^This is the kind of stuff that you don't want to hear and that frankly sounds so true. It would be sad if she would behave like that...when she has been working so hard to at least broadcast her nicer sides. Perhaps she compensates for her bad temper....

[farou7a]

i wouldnt believe any of it. people thrive on hearing that kind of stuff because of how much they dislike her which is so unfair.
and not to forget, the lengths people would go to for fame and mone - the bodyguard?

[Party_Vixen]

^ I have to agree. None of that sounds true. Reminds me of a soap storyline .

I'm not speaking about you specifically but imo it's excatly the stuff people (in particular the kind of women who buy these mags) want to hear.
They want to hear that Angie is mentally unstable, an abusive mother and a frigid anorexic and that Brad is miserable and so regretful he ever left the sweet, relatable girl-next-door for the scary vixen.
It's called insecurity, and it shifts a lot of copies.

Yes, it's hard to criticize her for her looks. Impossible, actually. So I guess this is what's left. Also, it's typical that behaviour that could be interpreted as - wow, maybe she has a health problem - is instead interpreted as - Angelina is an evil witch. Wasn't that her next role btw? Maybe this is just a PR thing
