Ten years and a couple of  vials of blood later, Angelina Jolie has nothing but good things to say about ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton in the forward of his book The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts:

[He] "has a big beautiful heart."He has an unmatchable wit and can make you laugh until your face hurts. "To be with him is like being with a mad mathematician," she adds. "He is constantly counting and repeating."

That's because he's got OCD, girl. Not judging (we all have a bit of it I think) just pointing out the obvious. She goes on to say:

"Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can't. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it," she says, ending with, "I know one thing: The world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren't in it."

You just know the rumors are going to go into overdrive on a slow news day that she's running back into his arms and leaving Brad Pitt in the dust. Despite their split not being the most pleasant at the time, it's nice that they've come back to being friends. She has gone on to have and adopt six kids with her partner Pitt. The two have recently become engaged after seven years together.  She was married to BB for 3 years from May 5, 2000 to May 27, 2003.

Do you remember Jolie and Thornton together? There was never a hornier couple in Hollywood. These two couldn't get enough of each other. They actually had sex in the back of their limo on the way to an awards show. It's one thing to bone in the limo, it's another thing to announce it on the red carpet. He realizes that he messed things up with her:

"I blew it because I didn't think I was good enough for her," he said. "She has one way she wanted to live her life and I had another way to live mine, and I was just too insecure."

The future tabloid headlines are writing themselves.

After a decade of working tirelessly on behalf of refugees around the world, the beautiful and beguiling Angelina Jolie has been honored with a key role.  Jolie will now serve as special envoy  of High Commissioner Antonio Guterres.  Speaking to journalists in Geneva, spokesman Adrian Edwards, explained the role:

"she is expected to focus on large scale crises resulting in mass displacement of people, to undertake advocacy and represent UNHCR and Guterres at the diplomatic level"

These types of prestigious roles are normally awarded to former diplomats and retired politicians, but Jolie has clearly demonstrated herself as an expert on difficult and complex refugee issues and a compassionate champion of their needs.  Through her more than 40 field visits to countries around the world, she has become very familiar with the countries most in need and for long term lasting solutions for these situations.

It was over a decade ago that she took her first trip to Sierra Leone to witness first hand the sheer horror and  endless atrocities that refugees there had experienced.  Where a life works is daily survival.   In her book "Notes from my Travels" she articulates the strength and grace of people of have experienced so much hardship. From Sierra Leone, to the Congo, to Cambodia, Jolie worked tirelessly to better understand the regions and the complexity of the issues that they face. And, even despite being left stranded to fend for herself (After a Hollywood studio canceled the plane they had promised would pick her up in the Congo) she has never forgotten or stopped working to help improve the conditions of those most vulnerable

A remarkable woman on a remarkable journey to help make the lives of those most in need just a little easier.

Well finally there is truth to the rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting married because his manager has confirmed it as opposed to the National Enquirer. Hehe. The couple have been together for 7 years and have 32 kids together. I'm kidding. I think last I checked it's 6 . And on top of that the Bradster designed the gem himself which she wore to the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts Chinese Galleries. Jeweler to the stars Robert Procop helped design the bauble and released a statement:

"Working closely with Brad Pitt to realize the star's vision for the ring, Robert Procop was able to source a diamond of the finest quality which was then transformed using Pitt's unique designs, cut with distinctive faceting to a shape and size that perfectly suits Angelina's long, slender fingers. "Throughout, Brad Pitt remained heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design process from the perfect cut of the diamond centerpiece – an elongated tablet shape – to the finishing touches such as the mounting of a galaxy of smaller stones which are graduated in size and faceted to match, adding a crowning luster to the ring. "The full creative journey – from conception to completion – took a year, with Brad Pitt waiting until the perfect moment to unveil this special jewel to Angelina Jolie." 

The price tag is estimated to be around the $250,000 mark. Although his manager says there is no date set for the wedding there is speculation it is happening this summer in France. If you want to see the bauble her boney malnourished fingers are rocking, head on over to the Daily Mail.

Congratulations to the happy home wreckers couple.

For your daily Fassbender, we have pics from the Irish Film and Television Awards, held tonight in Dublin where Fassy won yet another award for Best Actor in a Film for his performance in Shame, (giving the Academy yet another punch in the schnoz in my humble opinion). Michael (probably) won’t be celebrating this win til the wee hours since he’s up for yet another round tomorrow night. He’ll hop a flight or take the ferry across to London for the Orange British Academy Film and Television Awards, better known as the BAFTAs (even though they do television separately) where he’s again nominated for Best Actor. He does have serious competition from Gary Oldman though. (Anyone but Clooney. Love ya George, but I can name at least two other films you were better in.)

Irish cutie Chris O’Dowd won the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Film for Bridesmaids.

Over on the continuent, the Jolie-Pitts were at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele for the Berlinale premiere of Angelina’s directorial effort, In the Land of Blood and Honey. Is it me or is Ange softening her look lately? Probably an off-night.

Below are some pics of Hollywood’s ‘Golden Couple’ as well as the ‘World’s Sexiest Ginger’ (I just made that up.) Enjoy.

Brad Pitt is talking about his love for Angelina Jolie again and how, despite protestations that they wouldn't marry until all people could marry, he is saying that it's getting harder and harder for them not to be married:

“We’d actually like to,” he says of his seven-year partner, Jolie, “and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.” Has he asked Jolie to marry him? “I’m not going to go any further,” says Pitt. “But to be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous.”

Brad Pitt breaking a promise? Get out of the city! 

While it really does appear that these two are in love, do you sometimes think it's overkill (meaning over compensating)? And don't worry they may be spawning or adopting in the future:

We haven’t closed the book on it. There’s a really nice balance in the house right now, but if we see the need and get that lightning bolt that says, ‘We can help this person; we could do something here,’ then absolutely.” It was while carrying Vivienne — one of his children, many adopted, whose ages range from 3 to 10 — that Pitt fell and hurt his knee, causing him to walk with the cane his friend George Clooney spoofed during the Golden Globes. It wasn’t a skiing accident, contrary to reports. “I think George went down the line, making things up,” Pitt laughs. “I was just walking in our backyard, on a hill, carrying my daughter, and I slipped — and it was those parental instincts: me or her. And she’s fine.” 

I can see their wedding invitation: in lieu of gifts please provide children for us to adopt. Head on over to The Hollywood Reporter for the rest of the interview.

Sorry, I’m late to this party but my internet was down for most of the day yesterday. (I’ve finally stopped shaking.) The Producers Guild Awards were held Saturday night January 21 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, the last stop on the circuit before the Academy Award nominations are announced (which they will be tomorrow morning). (That’s not to say it’s the last stop before the ceremony by any stretch. This coming Sunday we have the SAG awards to get through.) The Producers Guild Awards ceremony is different because it’s all about the films, or the television shows.  It’s about the finished product.  This might be why the winner of Producer of the Year is so often the producer of the Best Picture winner at the Oscars.

I’ve been saying for months that it’s going to come down to a battle between The Descendants and The Artist. (Which, by the way, has nothing to do with how I feel about those two films personally. I’m just psychic.) A fine point was pretty much put on that idea when the former won the Golden Globe for Best Drama and the latter won for Best Musical or Comedy.  The Artist got another leg up from the PGA when it won out over The Descendants and Thomas Langmann walked away with the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures of the Year honors.

I can’t remember when I’ve been looking forward to the Oscar nominations less than I am this year, with one exception. I’ll be biting my nails to find out if Michael Fassbender gets a nod or if Demian Bichir takes his slot again (as he did with the SAGs). He’s the only “outsider” with a chance. The one performance that I would have thought would have been a lock has been virtually and inexplicably shut out, and that’s Vanessa Redgrave in Coriolanus.  Would I love to be wrong? You bet I would. We’ll see.

In the meantime, enjoy the pretty pictures of some of the pretty people at Saturday night’s bash. Many of them didn’t walk the red carpet (just to show how serious the proceedings are. Plus I think George Clooney's squeeze had a prior committment. God forbid he should be seen solo), but we have some shots of Morticia and Gomez…I mean Angie and Brad, as well as Jessica Chastain looking very Jessica Rabbit (practicing for her Oscar look perhaps), Viola Davis looking absolutely stunning as always and Shailene Woodley looking old beyond her years. Someone get that girl a stylist!

Stacy Keibler appeared on My Fox in New York on Thursday, January 19 where she is promoting a new fitness video game and talking about a movie she is in called Dysfunctional Friends where she plays a model turned gold digger.

In addition to that, the hosts brought up the National Enquirer's headline that Angelina Jolie HATES Stacy Keibler's guts. She responds to that rumor and also talks about what it's like to date George Clooney.

Brad Pitt 48, is rocking a rugged Fabio-like look on the cover of W Magazine. I have to admit Brad doesn't do anything to my lady parts but I'm liking this look for him. It's not so pretty if you know what I mean. Would you kick Brad out of bed for eating crackers? Probably not. 

He and life partner Angelina Jolie will appear at tomorrow night's Golden Globe Awards where his movie Moneyball is up for Best Motion Picture Drama and he's up for Best Actor in a Drama along with pal George Clooney. The two are apparently supposed to present at the awards as well.
