As could be expected, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt proved quite an eyeful at Saturday's New York premiere of her new movie. Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood. But, in fact, there was even more to meet the eye on the leading lady: two new tattoos – to complement her ink indicating global birth coordinates of children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh. Jolie has had the July 12 French birthplace of twins Knox and Vivienne enscribed twice on her left shoulder beneath the latitude and longitude of their other children. – Pete Norman

Angelina Jolie has confessed that her sex life with Brad Pitt has halted since the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne. The 33-year-old actress told The Mirror that having six children has made it difficult for the couple to spend time alone. "Even if we lock our door, the children come knocking," she said. "We often try to have a bath alone together at the end of the night and sit and talk, but they hear the water and want to jump in. "But it's fun and it's lovely - (more)

Angelina Jolie almost turned down her role in her latest movie Changeling - because the plot involved a child kidnapping plot.

The devoted mother-of-six plays a desperate mum whose nine-year-old son is snatched in the real-life story.

But Jolie admits she was set to snub the harrowing role, until partner Brad Pitt made her have a change of heart.

She explains, .It was very hard for me. I read the script and I couldn't put it down, but I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to touch something that had to do with children being kidnapped. It scared me because anything happening to my kids is my biggest fear.

.But then I found myself telling Brad the story and thinking about this woman and what she went through.

.Throughout the filming I was very emotional. I was hugging my children more than ever and I wanted to know where they were at all times. I always had one of them on set and it was a hard thing to do . facing my biggest nightmare.

.I'm a mom so it doesn't take much to imagine these things. I don't think I would have played this role with as much emotion and understanding if I wasn't a mother..

Attending the New York Film Festival screening of her new film,"Changeling," Saturday night, October 4, which was her first red-carpet appearance since giving birth to twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, Angelina Jolie showed off two new tattoos on her left arm. The new tattoos are the longitude and latitude of Nice, France, where the twins were born.

Jolie was accompanied on the red-carpet by longtime partner Brad Pitt. She wore a strapless black Atelier Versace gown, leaving the new tattoos on her left upper arm noticeable for everyone to see. The new tattoos are etched right underneath Maddox, Sahara, Shiloh and Pax's commemorative tattoos.

Also taking time to pose for photographers and answer some questions, Jolie told People, "not nervous as much as I just took a deep breath because it's been so long. It felt a little strange" when being asked if she felt nervous to be back in the spotlight.

Campaigners looking to ensure that gay marriage remains legal in California would like more help from Hollywood celebrities. Actor Brad Pitt and director Steven Spielberg have so far donated $$100,000 (£54,000) to the anti-Proposition 8 campaign, which opposes a state vote in November to ban the practice. However, activist Jonathan Lewis commented that Hollywood needs to get more involved in the issue. "We are concerned (more)

The cynical, but incredibly funny Burn After Reading is sure to divide audiences. But then, I'd expect nothing less from the Coen Brothers. Coming off their Oscar winning No Country For Old Men, the sibling auteurs have switched gears with this smart comedy about dumb people.

The goofy plot revolves around two dopey gym employees (wonderfully played by a quirky Frances McDormand and a spectacularly clueless Brad Pitt) who try to blackmail an ex-cia agent after his mysterious computer disc lands in their unsuspecting laps. Malkovich plays his inscrutable G-man with his patented hard-bitten glee. What's on the disc is virtually irrelevant, just the fact that everyone desperately wants the disc, is what propels the hilariously intricate plot.

Like many Coen Brothers efforts, the chaotic Burn After Reading is a love it or hate it kind of experience. Personally, I loved it. This sly, darkly funny take on spy and

The organisers of a campaign to keep gay marriage legal in California have accused Hollywood stars of not doing enough for the cause.

Moviemaker Steven Spielberg and actor Brad Pitt have both donated $100,000 (GBP54,000) to the anti-Proposition 8 campaign, which helps activists oppose a high-level state vote to ban same-sex marriages.

But the campaign's organisers claim celebrities are not doing enough to support the cause.

Activist Jonathan Lewis says, "We are concerned that the entertainment industry hasn't stepped up to the plate to fight this unnecessary initiative ... Now it's time for the entertainment industry as a whole to take the lead."

The vote is due to take place in the upcoming November elections. Gay marriages were legalised in the state in May.

Angelina Jolie has been photographed for the first time since giving birth to twins in July, arriving in New York on Wednesday for the premiere of her new movie.

The actress, her partner Brad Pitt and their six kids arrived in the city, ahead of Saturday's New York Film Festival screening of the Clint Eastwood-directed Changeling.

Jolie has been staying out of the spotlight since delivering twins Knox and Vivienne in a French hospital more than two months ago.

She even avoided the prying eyes of the press when the clan relocated to Berlin, Germany last month so Pitt could start shooting Quentin Tarantino's new movie Inglorious Bastards.

But Jolie will show off her post-baby body on the red carpet on Saturday.

Jennifer Aniston has blasted critics who accuse the actress of using her love life for publicity, branding the insult "below the belt".

The former Friends star has enjoyed a series of high profile relationships over the years, including a five-year marriage to Brad Pitt, and romances with Vince Vaughn and singer John Mayer.

But she insists she's never used the romances to further her own career.

She says, "It's been incorrectly alleged that I'd abuse a romantic attachment as a publicity stunt. That's below the belt.

"To love and be loved is the most beautiful thing that can happen to a person, and one's own life is more important than all the glamour and fame in the world."

The Jolie-Pitt bunch is back in the U.S.A. For the first time since the birth of twins Vivienne and Knox, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in New York City with their kids. Jolie plans to walk the red carpet at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 4 for the premiere of her movie The Changeling, a 1920s-set thriller directed by Clint Eastwood. The couple and their six children set up house last month in a lakeside villa in Berlin, where they are living while Pitt films Quentin Tarantino's World War II thriller Inglorious Bastards.

Brad Pitt has reportedly asked Angelina Jolie to have therapy because of concerns over her self-esteem. According to Star, the actress began suffering dark moods following the birth of twins Knox and Vivienne earlier this year. "Brad is so determined to get her back to her old self that he put her in therapy to get her to eat, get out of the house and put an end to her intense mood swings," commented a source. "Angelina didn't want to accept the fact that she was struggling after the twins were born and was really resistant (more)

If you like to surf around the web for entertainment news, you might have heard about an upcoming new web project called James Gunn's PG Porn. The writer of classics like Tromeo and Juliet and more shmeh flicks like Scooby Doo 2, Gunn teamed up with his brothers Brian and Sean (Kirk from Gilmore Girls) to create a family-friendly world of porn.

That's right -- vignettes where the delivery man actually delivers what he's supposed to with no added packages. (Read Gunn's take on it here.) Each time, mainstream actors will be teamed with porn stars for these little clips, which will be aired over at Spike.com. First up: Nathan Fillion and Aria Giovanni in Nailing Your Wife. So I wonder: who else could benefit from this insane, and possibly hilarious, idea?

Race-against-time thriller "Eagle Eye" has made September 26 to 28 weekend theirs. Opened on Friday, September 26 and played on 4,800 screens, the D.J. Caruso-directed film tops the box office chart with approximately $29.2 million. Commenting on the movie's success, DreamWorks spokesman Chip Sullivan said, "'Eagle Eye' jumpstarted the fall box office, and we couldn't be happier."

Starred by Shia Labeouf and Michelle Monaghan, the flick becomes Labeouf's second #1 feature film in 2008 following "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Securing his status as the A-lister, "Eye" also marks the second time he teams up with Caruso to deliver a box office topper after their 2007's thriller "Disturbia".

Coming up behind "Eye" is "Nights in Rodanthe". The Nicolas Spark adaptation film debuted second, pulling in about $13.4 million. Together with "Eye", the Warner Bros. Pictures romantic drama that teams up once again "The Cotton Club" and "Unfaithful" co-star, Richard Gere and Diane Lane,

Actor Kirk Cameron can appreciate what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie go through daily as parents - he has six kids.

The former Growing Pains star has six kids--two biological and four adopted-- and he understands the Pitt-Jolies when they confess they can't see a difference between the three kids born to them and their three adopted siblings.

Cameron says, "You forget who's adopted and who is not. The kids are 11, 10, nine, eight, seven and five-and-a-half. We feel like the Brady Bunch. There's never a dull moment.

"Everybody's got a friend at the house. For birthday parties you don't have to invite anybody else because everybody is there. It can be a bit harrowing at times because we don't have a nanny, so it is a commitment for my wife and I to raise these kids properly.

"But family is our highest priority. My wife even teaches classes at my kids' school on being a mom and being a wife."

The second trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is out, and it's a lot less mysterious than some of the previous teasers. It also makes the movie, well, a lot less interesting. It stars Brad Pitt as a man who ages backward physically, but apparently ages forward mentally. So for instance in the trailer, when he's found he's a tiny baby... but a really old tiny baby. It's bizarre and confusing and not at all the movie I think some people were expecting. Watch the brand new trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button below, or see it in high-def over at Apple.

It was dogged a little bit at the Telluride Film Festival when 20 minutes of clips were showing during a tribute to director David Fincher, but I'm a little more optimistic about what the possibilities are for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Running it through the same filter you use for every movie - what's the story, who are the actors, who's directing it, who wrote the script - I think Button could be one of the better movies of the year. The combination of Fincher, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, and screenwriter Eric Roth has to give you some confidence. That's not to say that movies that are similarly assembled don't disappoint, just that the majority of them don't.

I love the trailers, including this brand new one, which you can watch in High Definition at Apple.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be in theaters on December 25th.

Paramount Pictures have just presented another full-length trailer and a TV spot for their forthcoming drama fantasy "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Consisting of relatively similar footages with slight differences in several last frames, the two videos provide sneak peek into the early years of Benjamin Button, his backward aging progress and the girl who becomes his friend and then his lover.

Benjamin Button is a man who is born under unusual circumstances. He is born in his eighties and ages backwards, but like any ordinary man, he is unable to stop time. Hence, as the people around him grow older, he becomes younger. Seeking a place where he fits in, Button travels the world meeting people along the way, finding love and losing it, and learning about the joys of life, the sadness of death and what lasts beyond time.

A time traveler's tale, "Benjamin Button" is set
