I think it's great they're giving needy kids homes. Many others wouldn't, and Angelina and Brad have both the money and the inclination, so why not? Think of three-year-old Zahara who would have died of malnutrition as a baby before she was adopted by Angie. She's now a sassy, cookie loving toddler with happiness and attitude to burn.
But what happens when Angie tires of Brad, as I have no doubt she will, and they break up? Maddox already has one ex-dad in Billy Bob Thornton. Will six (maybe seven) globe-trotting kids be left with a daddy on the other side of the world?
"She and Brad made a pact that they'd adopt as soon as possible after the children were born," reports the Day.
Poor twinnies! They've only had seven weeks of being the newest kids on the J-P block. Here's hoping they've been spoiled with enough attention in that time before another kid joins the clan. Which I guess they have, cause they earned their parents zillions of dollars and have been stared at by millions of eyeballs in various mags around the world.
Angie's gunning for another African child to partner up with her beloved Ethiopian daughter, Zahara - and it seems what Angie wants, Angie gets. A Zimbabwean girl is an option, apparently. And if seven wasn't enough, word is they're already eyeing up kid number eight, from Burma.
Angelina is only 33 years old. Will she end up with around 20 kids? She'd have to buy a bus to cart them round the place if that was the case. And buy all her food in catering size packs.
I am over the Jennifer Aniston breakup, as I hope she is. The NW runs with Hollywood's patron saint of singledom on its cover, trumpting that she was ‘betrayed' by that purveyor of weiner rock, John Mayer. Enough of the Mayer! Let's put our heads together and think of a brilliant new boyfriend for the Aniston.
Any suggestions?
Let's move on to more exciting stories, like the lesbian wedding of the year that took place in Los Angeles last week. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi officially became wife and wife (will they be the de Rossi-DeGeneres'?)
The woman formerly known as Mandy Rogers wore a jaw-droppingly amazing wedding gown by designer Zac Posen. I adore her dress. I covet it! I would have nowhere to wear it (can you imagine nipping in to the Ponsonby Food Court in that number?) but I desire it regardless. Ellen also looked great. Ah, blessed romance!
The pair are planning for a baby, and while a sperm donor is an option, adoption is definitely also on the cards. I would love to be adopted by Portia and Ellen. Do you think they're in the market for a 29-year-old with a foul mouth and a nosy disposition? Me neither, now I read that back.
NW reports that my favourite Nicole, the Richie, isn't a happy camper in rich girl paradise after her fella Joel Madden's night out in New York with buddy Mary-Kate Olsen.
Joel showed M-K around the Good Charlotte tour bus after she attended one of their shows, and the mag bandies about terms like ‘gallivanting' and ‘gazing into each other's eyes.'
"Mary-Kate is essentially Joel's fantasy woman," a source says. "Thin, blonde, cool, fashionable and dangerous."
Ha! There go my chances with him. Give me a minute while I wipe the tears from my eyes.
The Day reckons Britney's got a new fella - her old friend, casino owner and billionaire George Maloof. But if the mag is to be believed it's not George's kind nature or sunny disposition that she's after. "I'm sure George's billions will be very useful now that Britney's father is in control of her assets," snipes a source.
He, on the other hand, sounds incredibly mature for a 43-year-old.
"If I was married and had children and I had to go home every day at 6 o'clock, I couldn't hang with Paris or Britney or whoever was in town," he says.
New Idea goes with everyone's favourite robo-bride, Katie Holmes, this week, and reckons she's "winning the latest battle in the war with her husband Tom Cruise, who wanted her to remain firmly under his control."
Since she arrived in Manhattan to rehearse for her Broadway debut, Katie's been spotted wearing a kilt and running round town shouting "Freeeeeeeedddoooooommmmmmmm!" I kid, I kid. But it must be nice to get out of the way of Tom's steely gaze for a while. You could only take so much of being told that everything you said was ‘glib.'
"She's showing off her joy with a hip new hairstyle and casual jeans and t-shirt ensembles, which are the opposite of the haute couture outfits Tom makes her wear out in LA," says the mag.
Said hairdo looks like Tom's hair, which is, the hairdo of a 46-year-old man. And you all know my thoughts on Katie's ‘casual' jeans. Can't she just dress like a cute 29-year-old for once?
Katie says that "the best part about getting away from her LA home is that she doesn't have to endure several hours a week of boring Scientology classes."
Ha! In your face, L. Ron.
This week's gorgeous celebrity baby is former cricketer Stephen Fleming's new son, Cooper. Too cute! If you pick up the Weekly make sure you swoon over his chubby cheeks like I've just done.
The former New Zealand captain tells the Weekly that Cooper "shot" out (bet it didn't feel that way for Mrs Fleming!) after six hours of labour, "all blonde and fair. Obviously I'm dark, so I felt compelled to ask Kelly a few pertinent questions."
Shane Warne's blonde. I'm just saying.
Giddy up! The Weekly has pictures from the idyllic beach wedding of singer Jewel and her rodeo riding fella of ten years, Ty Murray. The groom toasted with beer, with a cowboy hat atop his head.
"I was almost as excited about the cake as I was about the wedding," says she.
There's a girl after my own heart! One shouldn't underestimate the importance of cake.
"Her glare can turn you to stone."

And that's all from the mags this week!



For those of you who think it's a waste of space -STOP reading it!
