Angelina Jolie hides her bikini body under a wetsuit as she joins Brad Pitt and the kids at water park

The couple that plays together stays together.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made a big splash in Malta today as they took their family of six to a marine park for some water-themed fun.

Despite the temperature being a balmy 23 Celsius on the Mediterranean island, Angelina wore a wetsuit to keep warm when she took a dip in the water.

The Changeling star has been criticised recently for being incredibly thin and her lack of body fat could be making her more susceptible to the cold.

Her long-time boyfriend Brad Pitt looked much more summery as he ventured out shirtless, flashing his muscled chest and toned torso while he carried three-year-old son, Knox.

The couple's other children, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and Vivienne, three, also joined in the fun at the family day out at the Mediterraneo Bio Park.

Situated alongside the Mediterranean at 'White Rocks' in Bahar ic-Caghaq, the marine park is dedicated to conservation, research and education to reveal the 'secrets of the sea.'

Along with the chance to swim with the bottle nose dolphins, guests can marvel over sea lions, parrots, snakes, tortoises, turtles and lizards.

The globe-trotting family are currently in Malta while Brad Pitt films the zombie movie, World War Z.

Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 36, have rented a $11 million mansion in the Qrendi area of the island, according to Us Weekly magazine.

The brood have all relocated to holiday destination while he films the post-apocalyptic horror movie.

Brad plays the lead role of role of Max Brooks, an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published a report a decade after the Zombie War.

Brooks scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived the conflict that almost eradicated humanity.

The film, directed by Marc Foster, also stars Mireille Enos and Matthew Fox.

Earlier this month, the Hollywood heartthrob was also spotted wearing the wedding ring, sparking rumours that Brad and Angelina had tied the knot.

Angelina is currently enjoying box office success in the U.S. as the voice of Tigress in Kung Fu Panda 2.

Her next starring role will be as iconic Egyptian leader Cleopatra, which has just gone into pre-production.

Angelina faces flak for her film

Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut is facing criticism from a group of Bosnian women who are offended by the script of her film and have written a letter to the United Nations Refugee Agency.

The film is a love story about Bosnian woman and a Serb set during the Bosnian war. There were rumours that her permit to shoot was withdrawn, which was not true. Although she did cut short her shooting schedule and moved on to Hungary to shoot the rest of the story.

Her film has sparked protests and and was called “ignorant” by a group of women who were victims of sexual violence during the war.

"Angelina Jolie's ignorant attitude towards victims says enough about the scenario and gives us the right to continue having doubts," the letter read, report various news agencies.

The women’s group claimed that it was misrepresenting history, Bakira Hasecic, the head of the “Women victims of war” association in Sarajevo added that there were thousand of victims of rape and abuse in the country and they did not have any evidence of such an occurrence, reports a news agency.

Rape and sexual abuse is a very sensitive issue with the survivors of the brutal four-year Bosnian war. The group is even asking for the removal of Angelina Jolie as goodwill ambassador of the UN agency.

After six, Angelina says no more

Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie has ruled out expanding her brood with partner Brad Pitt as she feels their six kids need more attention and care before they welcome another member to their family.

The 'Salt' star, who shares three adopted and three biological children with Pitt, insisted she is too busy to think about another child, Contactmusic reported.

On being asked if she is keen for more kids, the 35-year-old actress said, "No, I think it's very important to give our children the individual attention they need now before expanding our family."

"You try to feel them, because at different times, different children need you, you must find the time to listen to them. Brad and I are also really lucky because between the two of us, we can spread the attention around," she added.

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston: Should they kiss and make up?

Brad Pitt is the reason why a rift was paved between Angelina and Jennifer. Love, as is said, often divides and splits. In this love triangle between Angelina + Brad Pitt + Jennifer Aniston, a fierce animosity has germinated between Jolie and Jennifer. And it has been going on for a little more than 5 years.

There are many people who are fans of both Jolie and Jennifer (you may be one of them) and, certainly, it pains them to see these two women embroiled in such a seemingly irreparable catfight.

It’s true that things are not looking good and they might never sort out their differences but a town with Jolie and Aniston walking hands in hands would be fantastic….it may appear dreamy with the current scenario not quite favourable but the paparazzi shall certainly be on cloud 9, if it can snap one such pic.

So, I ask of you, will their animosity ever end? Time is eternal and future totally unpredictable. But, we Hollywood fans are entitled to dream and dream big. And why not? After the Tiger Woods scandal, every thing seems possible, even a Jolie-Jennifer friendship.

Angelina Jolie slammed for fooling her son

Hollywood's leading lady Angelina Jolie has been slammed by a notable psychologist for inviting her nine-year-old son, Maddox, on to the set of Salt and fooling him into believing that she was a man.

The 35-year-old actress recently said that after she had been made up as a man for a scene in the spy film, she brought her son on to the set.


"I invited him to come say 'hi' to me and I didn't tell him who it was," Jolie said. "So he came down, he shook my hand and he hung out with me for a while and then I said 'Mad?' and he went 'Aaaaagh! Muuum!' and he totally freaked out," she added.

However, Dorothy Rowe, the Australian psychologist, whose book 'Why We Lie' has just been published, doesn't seem to be happy about this.

"I think by the time a child reaches his age, he has a sense of himself and wants to appear to be in control," the Telegraph quoted Rowe as saying.

"In fooling her son in this way, she made a fool of him in public and this will make him feel betrayed, make him feel no longer in control, and break down the relationship of trust he has with his mother," Rowe added.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt buy $40-million Italian villa

 Life is dolce for Angelina Jolie and Brad PItt, as the pair have purchased a roughly $40-million Italian villa, according to a new report.

The 15-bedroom estate -- in Valpolicella, in the province of Verona, where "Romeo and Juliet" was set -- counts among its features a screening room, two pools, several Jacuzzis and a home gym.

"Mr. Pitt and Ms. Jolie saw it for 10 minutes and they said yes," Alexander Proto, a consultant for the property, told E! News.

"They were very determined. We are very pleased [to] have worked with them … no problems, very nice, very competent, ideal customers."

Living in this kind of luxury is nothing new for the Jolie-Pitts -- remember, twins Knox and Vivienne were born while the family was camping out at Chateau Miraval in the south of France.

Angelina Jolie wants to play a Bond girl

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie was once offered a role in one of the James Bond movies but she turned it down because she wanted to play the super spy herself.

"It started with a call from Amy (Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures). She asked if I wanted to play a Bond girl. I said, 'No, I'm not comfortable with that, but I would like to play Bond'," Jolie said.

Interestingly, Angelina was not the first choice to play the lead in "Salt", a thriller about a CIA agent who's accused of being a Russian spy, reports imdb.com.

Tom Cruise had initially signed on to play the role, but dropped out at the last minute. Producers and screenwriters then rushed to adjust the part for Jolie, since it was originally written for a man.

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt To Break Up Forever Again


If you’re a tabloid reader, then you already know that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, aka Brangelina, are the breaking-up-est couple in Hollywood. Well, this week is no different.

Star, in a cover story titled simply “Brad & Angie – The End!” list a numberless number of reasons that Brad and Angie may soon decide to end their non-marriage.

According to the tabloid, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been struggle about anything and everything and have once again reached their breaking point.

“There is no truce in sight for Brad and Angie,” an insider said. “They can’t see eye to eye on anything, and Brad’s had enough. He’s been desperately trying to keep the family ctogether but is totally irritated. Every time he tries to talk to Angie, she’s cold to him.”

Despite the many troubles this gruesome twosome endures daily in their relationship, they continue to maintain a sense of unity in the public that is unnerving.

According to the insider, it’s getting much harder for Brad to fake it with the public. Brad and Angelina even fought about taking the kids to see Mary Poppins on Broadway.

“Brad told Angie he didn’t want to enter through the front door, because their would be photographers everywhere,” a source said. “She insisted that they go in the front like everyone else, so the kids wouldn’t feel like they were different. But Brad knows the real reason she wanted to go in through the main entrance – so everyone would see her with her perfect, cute kids, and handsome man. She thinks day and night about what would look good to the world. And Brad can’t handle it. This is now what he signed up for.”

The same type of thing happened again three nights later at Alto, an Italian eatery in NYC.

“Angie knew all eyes were on her, and she played the role absolutely, smiling, and stroking Brad’s arm,” a witness said. “But it looked strained and deliberate.”

Worse for Brad, Angelina Jolie has now begun to wonder more about his whereabouts. She’s considering hiring a private detective to find out where he goes when jumps on his motorcycle and speeds away from her.

“Angie is dying to know exactly where Brad goes and what he does when he take off. Is he drinking with the boys, or does he have some blonde in his lap?” a source wondered. “So Angie discreetly asked someone who works for her to get her the names of private detectives to follow Brad. She talks a good game about having an open relationship, but deep down she’s jealous and possessive. If she suspects Brad’s meeting another woman, she wants to know about it. When he comes home at night, Angie checks Brad’s pockets for phone numbers and sniffs his clothes. Their relationship has gotten really twisted.”

So for now Brad and Angelina remain together, but they’re hanging on by the tiniest of threads.

Angelina Jolie’s Goodwill Mission


Tending to her UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador duties, Angelina Jolie checked the living conditions of an Iraqi refugee family living in a suburb in Jaramana on Friday (October 2).

Traveling with partner Brad Pitt, the “Wanted” actress continues to do her part for improving the world - last paying a visit to Damascus back in 2007.

Of the effort, Miss Jolie told press: “Most Iraqi refugees cannot return to Iraq in view of the severe trauma they experienced there, the uncertainty linked to the coming Iraqi elections, the security issues and the lack of basic services. They will, therefore, be in need of continued support from the international community.”

Continuing on, Ang explained: “It is clear that the Syrian people, no matter the challenges or difficulties they may face, have always shown generous hospitality to people in need. I hope that the rest of the world recognizes that we all have to share this burden and continue to take care of Iraqi refugees.”

Artist Daniel Edward who made art news breaking with his statue of Britney Spears birthing a baby, Sept. 30, 2009: Artist Daniel Edwards, now that Brit's popularity has waned a bot, he’s grown interested in Angelina Jolie. The latest little artistic ditty Edwards has created? A near life size sculpture of Jolie breastfeeding two babies at the same time, presumably her newborn twins. The statue has just been unveiled at the MAINSITE Contemporary Art Gallery in New York City. The work, which is entitled Landmark for Breastfeeding, features Jolie au naturel while providing motherly milk to two newborns.

The source reports that after the exhibit runs its course, the statue may wind up in a public park to be ogled by trench coat wearing men with sock suspenders and Melissa Etheridge.

"Celebrity Boobs" statue by the artist himself, it's interesting but less than flattering -- despite the heroic image of the wondermom handling the babes with relative ease.

In an interview posted September 28, 2009 Edwards claimed to have made the statue to attack the negative stigmas attached to breastfeeding in public.

The Hancock star, who is one of the names mooted for the role in the next Batman film - rumoured to be directed by Christopher Nolan - along with Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie, said that she's ready to squeeze into the slinky skin-tight suit and sharpen her claws.
If the Oscar-winning South African actress takes the role, she'll follow in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who have both donned the iconic catsuit.
There were reports that Megan had been offered the part, but Warner Bros insisted that no casting decisions for the forthcoming third film in the hit franchise has been made, with a studio spokesperson saying: "It's a rumour. It's not true."
