Before congratulating Meryl Streep on 15 Oscar nominations, Hugh speaks to Angelina and Brad who look extremely uncomfortable with his jokes - Hugh is on fire, he doesn't seem to be embarrassed about who he jokes about or offends. Everyone seems to be laughing along so far, even when he alludes to Meryl taking steroids!

Jennifer Aniston Spends Weekends With Brad Pitt

Jennifer Aniston Spends Weekends With Brad Pitt.

jennifer aniston

Jennifer Aniston reportedly has said that she spends weekends with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their children. No, I don't believe it.. it cant be true.. she hates her guts.

Jennifer Aniston joked....

"The funny thing is, people don't realize we all go away to The Hampton's on the weekends. But can you imagine? That'd be hysterical: I've got Zahara on my hip, and Knox..."

Jennifer Aniston said that she does keep in touch with Brad Pitt..

"We don't not talk. When there's something to congratulate or celebrate, there's always an exchange. But there's no charge on it."

But in between weekends with the Jolie-Pitt clan, Jennifer Aniston spoke about her relationship with musician John Mayer, and has dismissed rumors they plan to marry and start a family of their own.

Jennifer Aniston said....

"I am not having his baby. And I have not popped the question.

What I can say is that I had no idea what an extraordinary musician he is and it's just great to sit and be witness to that."

In January's release of America's GQ magazine has Jennifer Aniston posing naked - except for a neck tie on the front cover.

Angelina Jolie's Baby Pictures Will Be Shown In People Magazine


07/31/08

Angelina Jolie's Baby Pictures Will Be Shown In People Magazine.

People Magazine have won the rights to be the first magazine to show Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new baby pictures. According to reports the magazine has paid around $10 million to $15 million for the rights to publish their twins' first pictures in its future issue. A lot of loot if you ask me..

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have said that they will use the money for the first pics of the babies to benefit charities. It has not been released which charities that will benefit, but good on them. Nearly every other celebrity usually keeps the money for them-self.

US Weekly, have now said that it is true that Angelina Jolie did get IVF to conceive the twins which reportedly costs her $12,000 a baby. So , looks to me like designer babies. It also seem to be a starting trend as there are a few Hollywood Celeb's now having twins.
