Anja and the stars

Beyoncé Knowles and hubby Jay-Z have been selected to be Hollywood’s best earning couple. Forbes once again put together a list and put them on top of it. Apparently, they made about $ 262 mio. between June 2007 and June 2008. Jay-Z contributed about $ 82 mio. from his latest deal with “Live Nation” while Beyoncé earned about $ 80 mio. from film, fashion and advertising contracts.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith made about $ 85 mio. in the same period of time and hence are number 2 on the list. Here, Will is main earner with $ 80 mio. David and Victoria Beckham are with an income of $ 58 mio. the third richest couple. David has earned more than $ 50 mio. since he moved to Los Angeles and that despite his “meagre” wage of $ 5,5 mio with LA Galaxy. He makes all the money with ticket sales, merchandising and sponsoring. Addiotionally, he earned about $ 35 mio. from advertising contracts. Victoria made about $ 8 mio. from being on tour with the Spice Girls and her fashion line.

Angelina Jolie proves to be emotional when it comes to her family and her late mother. She gave an interview in England the other day to promote her latest film “Changeling”. And although no personal questions were allowed she opened up about her mother, Marcheline Betrtand, who passed away in September 2007.

Angelina Jolie thinks about breaking off her career in Hollywood. Apparently, she is busy enough being a mum to six children and consequently wants to step shorter. That is why she plans to do one final film in February before devoting herself to the family. She actually has planned it all. After a few years she wants to come back to do one film per year, then to do one film every three years and finally to do one film every six years. She slowly wants to fade away and watch for her to become a proud grandmother.
By the way, six children is still not enough. And so she and Brad are already planning the next adoption. However, they will wait a little bit longer until the bigger kids have got used to the twins.

Forbes once again conducted a survey. This time it was to find out who’s face people want to buy. They gathered all covers of “People”, “Star”, “US Weekly”, “In Touch Weekly”, “Life & Style” and “OK” for over a year long. The data was anaylsed in terms of issues sold as compared to each magazine’s average newsstand sales, number of full magazine covers, and each star’s likability.
And here’s the result:

1. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their kids
2. Jennifer Aniston
3. Heath Ledger
4. Jamie Lynn Spears
5. Nicole Richie
6. Jessica Simpson
7. Suri Cruise
8. Shilo Jolie-Pitt
9. Heidi Montag
10. Owen Wilson

Why would you do that? I don’t get it why celebrities complain about being followed by paparazzi and stuff (well, that’s actually the part I can understand cause it’d drive me nuts) but agree that very intimate photos of them get published. I’m talking about Brangelina. Brad Pitt loves taking photos and one of his favourite object is of course Angeline Jolie. And now eveyone can have a look at some of these pics taken by Brad - just get the new issue of W magazine. One of the photos even shows Angelina breastfeeding. Why???

Angelina Jolie has a new tattoo - well, actually, she’s updated an old one. On her top left arm she displays the latitudes and longitudes of all of her kids. A few days ago she added the map coordinates of her twins’ birthplace and so the tattoo is complete again…until the next child.

Half of Hoolywood seems to be engaged or getting married at the moment and so it’s nice to see that there are a few couples out there that aren’t interested in that kind of attentiveness.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis: They’ve been together for 10 years and don’t think about getting married although they’ve got two kids.

Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves: They prefer a kid to a marriage certificate.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart: The couple has been together since 2003 and they are actually engaged but it doens’t look like there is a wedding round the corner. Maybe because Harrison was already married twice.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy: They met in 2005 and have been together ever since. They live together happily and don’t plan to get married as Jenny just recently told on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: There are loads of rumours going round about them getting married. Nothing’s happened so far though.

Gilian Anderson and Mark Griffiths: Gilian gave birth to their second child a few weeks ago but she isn’t keen on getting married again - after two failed marriages.

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry: Halle never wants to get married again. Their relationship works anyway and they even have a beautiful little daughter.

Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham: They’ve been together since 1986 and they actually wanted to get married in November 1992. Nothing happened and so they still live in sin

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend: The couple met in 2002 but Charlize once said to only get married when it is legal for homosexual couples to get married too.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell: They’ve been in a relationship for 15 years but don’t consider marriage.

I’m not a big fan of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt but I guess the arrival of their twins is still worth mentioning
Angelina gave birth to a boy and girl in France on Saturday evening. The Caesarean delivery was without complications and apparently, Ange even laughed through the whole procedure. The twins’ each weigh around 5 pounds and are called Knox Leon and Vivienne Marchline.

Isn’t it just absolutely excessice that Brangelina will get $11 million for the first pics of the twins? I guess, they’ll give it to charity but even so…it’s madness!

Do you love Angelina Jolie so much that you want to have a piece of her? Well, it could be your lucky day because you can bid on a leather jacket worn by Angelina in her new movie “Wanted”.
The auction will end on July 1st and all proceeds from the auction go to charity!

Good luck!

That was bad luck! When Angelina Jolie and Jack Black gave an interview at the Cannes Film Festival to promote their film “Kung Fu Panda”, Jack accidentaly let the news slip out. And so Angelina just had to confirm that she is preggers with twins. The new bundles of joy are expected later this summer and will be babies No. 5 and 6 for Brad, 44, and Angie, 32, who are already parents to Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, who turns 2 on May 27.
