Sometimes don't you just want Jennifer Aniston to get one-up on Angelina Jolie?
Well, it's not going to be this time.
According to Forbes, Angelina tops the list of actresses earning the most cash by making $27 million last year. Coming in second, of course, is Jen, who almost caught Angie with $25 mil.
On a much-less interesting note, Meryl Streep came in third with $24 million, followed by Sarah Jessica Parker with $23 million and Cameron Diaz earning $20 mil.
Soooo close, Jen. Maybe next time.
Brad Pitt's mom thinks her son made a mistake when he left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.
Well, according to Now! magazine, anyway.
The mag says that Jane Pitt is still hoping that Brad and Jen find their way back to each other -- and that Mama Pitt isn't exactly thrilled with her son's latest choice in women.
"Jane's seen, first hand, how difficult Angelina is," a source revealed. "She never comes to visit the family in Missouri and is always prickly on the rare occasions they have got together. Jennifer was the total opposite -- charming, friendly and the perfect daughter-in-law. She always made time to be an active part of the family, whereas Angie just turns her nose up."
And it doesn't help that Jane and Jen are still very buddy-buddy.
"(Jen and Jane) speak at least a couple of times a week and Jen never misses a birthday or special occasion," the source said.
How crazy must that make Angelina?
Angelina Jolie was on hand to celebrate World Refugee Day in Washington on Thursday, where she spoke about her dedication to teaching her children about the world's problems -- and what they can do to help.
"Some of my kids are from countries that have seen conflict," Angie told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "I usually just explain to them that there are other families in the world that aren't as fortunate as ours and other kids and their mommies... are somewhere in a country that's not as safe.... So I tell them that it's important for all of us to do what we can and then go to these places and understand what's happening."
Brad Pitt's love says she's determined to give her brood first-hand knowledge as to what life is like outside of their very privileged box -- in hopes of making them "better people as they get older."
"They're just being raised that this is the normal thing to do," she said. "Hopefully I'll take them to as many countries as I can and raise them with an education of the world."
Dude, you've got to hand it to the Jolie-Pitts for setting some example for their children. I feel accomplished if I've managed to get through the day without saying a curse word in earshot of my son. Angie is on a whole different plane.
Just get in line and maybe Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will throw some cash your way, too.
The mega-generous couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation has just donated a million dollars to the UN Refugee Agency, in order to help displaced people in Pakistan.
António Guterres, the head of the agency graciously thanked the couple for its donation, saying Pakistan's trouble is "the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."
Angie will be on hand for the celebration of World Refugee Day in Washington D.C. on Thursday, where she will talk about her experiences from her multiple visits to Pakistan.
This donation comes just a week after Brad and his fam donated the same amount to a hospital in Springfield, MO.
So, are we done badmouthing her yet?
The do-gooding just keeps on coming from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The classy couple, along with the rest of Brad's family, have donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital.
Doug Pitt, Brad's brother, announced that they would be giving the cash to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, and that it will be used to establish an endowment fund to pay children's cancer specialists.
The hospital's cancer treatment unit will be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad's mom, who is a big advocate for children's issues.
St. John's is matching the generous donation, providing the hospital with the help to also build a new pediatric unit, a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald house and doubling the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.
It's stuff like this that just makes you proud to like certain celebs. It's such a nice change from one DUI story after another.
The new issue of Harper's Bazaar is delving into our psyches to try and uncover why we, as a society, are so obsessed with Angelina Jolie. Here's what writer Naomi Wolf came up with:- She's got Brad! "She took for her own pleasure the male seen as the most desired of the tribe," the author writes. "Brad Pitt, who is always ranked at the top of indexes of male beauty and virility."
- She's got kids! "Jolie revealed a new, and fairly radical, vision of single motherhood that made the relationship seem tender, glamorous, and complete.
- She can fly. "Flying a private plane is the classic metaphor for choosing your own direction. Usually, that is a guy thing to do, yet there was Jolie, with her aviator glasses on, taking flying lessons so she could blow the mind of her four-year-old son."
The mag writer believes that the world will continue to be intrigued by the beauty for years to come. "I for one will keep watching," she writes, "since Jolie's image is not just a mirror of one woman but also a looking glass for female fantasy life."
This is very interesting. What do you think about these reasons for the Angelina allure? Are you as infatuated as you used to be or is it waning? Discuss...
Not that you would ever believe anything the National Enquirer says -- unless you're in to alien babies and what-not, but, just to be clear, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not breaking up.
The Enquirer is reporting that the Jolie-Pitts were going to announce an "official" split, and were about to face an "ugly court battle" over their $200 million fortune and custody of their six children. The rag says Brad and Angie had a huge fight at the Cannes premiere of Brad's new flick, Inglourious Basterds.
"They had lots of fun and looked so in love," a witness at the premiere refuted. "At one point, they were dancing."
A rep for the couple says the rumors of a split are "completely not true."
Another Brangie insider concurs, "They have their fights and moments, but generally things are good. They are happy -- and Brad loves being a father!"
All is well is Jolie-Pitt world, friends. No worries.
Well, this is a nice little birthday present for Angelina Jolie.
The female part of Brangelina has just topped Forbes magazines list of most powerful celebrities -- knocking Oprah off the throne!
According to the magazine, how much moolah you have is only one factor in determining who should have the most powerful celebrity honor. Angie reportedly earned around $27 million last year -- but, combine that with the abundance of attention and fame she possesses, and she's certainly got the power.
Oprah slipped to No. 2, followed by Madonna, Beyoncé, and Tiger Woods. And Jennifer Aniston came in at No. 8, beating out her ex, Brad Pitt, who ranked No. 9.
Which celebs made their debut on the list this year? My girl, Taylor Swift, came in at No. 69, while Toby Keith and Alec Baldwin also got some recognition. Even President Barack Obama got in on the action, coming in at No. 49.
Check out the full list here -- and see how your favorite celeb measures up.

What occurs now makes you more aware of what you need, feel and want in your relationships. If you are unhappy in your personal life, this is brought out now, and you'll need to face what is causing your dissatisfaction. Differences in personal style, tastes, and ways of expressing affection may emerge. You also feel amorous and loving, and if your personal life is going well, this is a time to really enjoy and appreciate it.
Do you think Angelina is unhappy in her personal life? Are she and Brad on the rocks? Or maybe she's dissatisfied because she wants even more children and hasn't had them yet? Or is it the second half of her reading that applies to her -- perhaps Angelina really is perfect and happy and the rest of us are all just her minions.
If that's not enough for you, check out this complete profile of Angelina, featuring her astrological specifics, likes and dislikes and her characteristics.

"No one knows that woman; she's a complete ice queen, which is perfect. Why should she be any more? She doesn't owe us anything."--- Evangeline Lilly, to Women's Health, on Angelina Jolie
There were so many stunning photos taken of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Cannes yesterday, that I had trouble deciding which one to post. But, between the composition of this pic -- how it simply captures one candid moment in Brangelina time -- combined with the massive amounts of leg that that Angie is showing, I couldn't pass this one up. It's just stunning.

Brad Pitt took a risk and donned a peach suit in Cannes yesterday, while promoting his new film Inglourious Bastards.
He and Angelina Jolie hosted a big fancy dinner for 60 of their closest colleagues, including director Quentin Tarantino, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson (Pacey!) and Emile Hirsch. The celebs chowed on pasta with crayfish, ravioli with truffles, spaghetti with clams, and drank Dom Perignon.
"The dinner was a private event for the entire cast of Quentin Tarantino's film," a restaurant staffer said. "They all had a wonderful time. Angelina and Brad were lovely, the loveliest people I have ever met!"
Sounds fab -- but let's get down to the real question at hand. Does Brad pull off that suit? Could he wear a potato sack and look cool -- or would you have rather seen him in something a little more classic?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's move to Long Island has sent the people of Oyster Bay into a frenzy. Local women everywhere are ditching their errand-running sweatpants for fancier duds, in the hopes of running into Brad at the local Dunkin Donuts.
"They are off the charts excited and everyone is dolled up, " one local told People.com. "The moms are trying to look a little bit more polished. Instead of schlepping in sweatpants and messy hair, now they wear designer jeans and high heels, which they never wear. Usually it's Tod's or Gucci loafers. Everyone is putting a little more effort. Let's face it - he's a handsome guy."
Brad is totally being Mr. Mom (while Angie films Salt), taking the kids to school, doing the grocery shopping -- even reading to Shiloh's class!
"At school, they think they are going to bump into him," says a local, of the moms. "Brad sits in the back of the classroom a lot. He is very unassuming and very sweet and nice."
And people can't believe how normal the movie stars are.
"Who would think they would see them grocery shopping, and not sending out the help?" says a source. "They are trying to teach their kids what's normal ... And they are always in the pizza parlor and Borders Books."
But, if seeing Brad isn't excitement enough, he had to go and bring George Clooney to town!
"I heard a woman screaming at Stop & Shop because the clerk was telling her George Clooney was at the Breakers," says the local source. "It startled me because she shrieked so loud. Then, a few women said they were going to go down there and see if they could run into Clooney."
I wonder if Brad whispered to George, "Watch this," as they walked in.
There's no doubt this would be a best seller.
A former bodyguard for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been shopping around a tell-all memoir and TV show of his time with the stars -- which has caused the couple to move into defense mode.
According to the NY Daily News, Brangelina have hired lawyers in both the U.S. and the U.K. after hearing ex-watchman Mickey Brett's plan to sell some stories about their fam. Sources say that Mickey had plenty of lovely things to say about Angelina -- but Brad? Not so much.
Though this juicy book was going to focus on other stars Mickey had worked for, like Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere, most of the goods were on the Jolie-Pitt clan.
Lawyers for Brad and Angie are already discrediting the bodyguard, telling the paper that, not only is he bound by a confidentiality agreement, but that he had lied on his resume about his qualifications. Apparently, Mickey claimed to be a former British SAS commando -- as it turns out, he wasn't.
But Mickey's attorney blames the bad press on the book's ghostwriter, Robin McGibbon, who he says made the stories out to be juicier than they were to attract buyers. Robin, of course, denies that -- but it seems that Brad and Angelina's attorney's have taken a bit of the wind out of her sails.
"Mickey was definitely going to consider a book or TV deal if the offer was good enough," Robin told the Daily News, but at least for now, "there's not going to be any book."
No book? Booooo. Come on - that would be some kind of page-turner.
Okay, so we'll probably never know when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's "dating anniversary" is (they're so quiet about that we're lucky we got confirmation that it was sometime while they were making Mr. & Mrs. Smith), but we are aware that it was just about four years ago that these two bit the bullet and stepped out publicly as a couple.
So, four years later, six children later, Brad and Angelina still tell us a trip down the aisle isn't happening anytime soon. Angie has said that she and B will make it official when it seems important to their kiddies, while Brad has insistsed they'll say their "I dos" when "everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."
Meanwhile, the supercouple have gone all suburban, and are hanging out locally in the Long Island town of Oyster Bay, N.Y. And, obviously they are causing a stir!
"When you talk to someone who has met them they're kind of glowing," Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto told People.com. "People love saying they saw them. They feel something very special happened to them."
Brad and Angie have been everywhere in the town, from Stop & Shop to Dunkin' Donuts to CVS, and seemed to have left a good impression on the residents.
"The reaction across the board seems to be, 'Wow, they're very nice people.' It seems that people like them and like having them here."
Nice -- and pretty.
"They looked out of place because they were so beautiful," said Stop & Shop manager Katherine Pastore said of Brangie, who picked up some chow at her store. "They looked like they were airbrushed when they were walking. I went up to Brad and asked if he needed help and he said, 'No thanks.' I was looking at him but I don't really remember it - it was like a dream."
So funny. Maybe Brad and Angelina will like the Island so much that they'll get married there!
What do you think -- will they or won't they? Should Hollywood's reigning king and queen make it official? Note to Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox -- your votes count, too!

Now this is exciting!
I have been waiting years to finally have something in common with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- and now I have found it! We all shop at Stop & Shop!
That's right -- Brangelina ducked into a Long Island, NY S&S on Saturday afternoon -- with two of their kids in tow. The supercouple took Zahara and Shiloh grocery shopping -- just like normal people.
"They were here for 30 minutes and left," Monira Ahmed, an employee at the store said. "They were very friendly. They gave autographs and allowed people to take pictures of them inside...very nice."
The Jolie-Pitts are hanging in the New York suburbs while Angie films her latest movie, Salt.
All of a sudden I'm feeling pretty good about having to go food shopping today.
It was just too quiet on the Angelina baby front...
Here we go again! Star magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting. An insider tells the mag that Angie is knocked up, with what will be their seventh child.
"Yes, Angie is pregnant," a family insider tells Star. "They'd been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn't seem possible."
Especially since Star just reported that they were sleeping in separate bedrooms after Angie caught Brad comforting the nanny.
"It happened just in time, because things were getting pretty ugly between them," says one source.
The mag says Angie is about two and a half months along and is just over the moon at the thought of another little one.
"She's thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it!" Star's source said.
I don't know, peeps. You have to take this with a very big grain of salt.
This made me laugh.
Though I have to admit that I do feel bad about Madonna's disappointment over not getting to adopt Mercy James, this SNL skit is freakin' funny. It has the Material Girl being taunted by Angelina Jolie over how many babies she and Brad have. And every time they said "baby" I just found myself giggling.
Check it out.
Who's the blonde bombshell to the right of Angelina Jolie? Well, Angelina Jolie.
These are the first pics that were released from Angie's new flick Salt, in which she plays a very mysterious spy for the CIA.
She's a character you never know," producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, told USA Today. "People who think they know the real her may or may not. Those who think they can tell whether she's in a disguise also may or may not ... She tells you her agenda, but are you supposed to believe it?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't care about that. I want to know which way you like your Angie better -- with sunshine or without? Hit me.
"No matter what I say, things will always be taken out of context and misinterpreted, will always be turned around to make it seem as though I won't let something go, or that I just keep talking about it over and over. I don't owe anybody anything. I don't owe anybody my side of the story. There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story. It's just not the case."
-- Jennifer Aniston, to Elle, "setting the record straight" on her divorce from Brad Pitt

According to E! Online, John posed for some pictures with some of Oscar's beauties, but when the snapfest was finished, Jen practically pulled her beau away by the ear.
"What are you doing?" Jen reportedly hissed. "Do you know them?"
Apparently, John was not following his date's strict instructions to fawn over her at all times. I mean, Brad and Angie were there for Pete's sake! What was he thinking?
Neither Brad Pitt nor Angelina Jolie won in their Oscar category last night -- but does it really matter? These two always go home with the prize anyway -- and either one of them can outshine that golden statuette any day.
Brangelina stopped to quickly chat with People mag on the red carpet, telling them that they were using this night out for some couple time.
"We've been planning on this for months," Braid said, saying that they left their brood home, "throwing spaghetti against the wall."
"I like to think of it more as a date," Angie added. "We're very comfortable tonight and just happy to be out and it's a nice night."
They certainly seemed to enjoy themselves -- laughing and smiling through the whole telecast -- even when Jennifer Aniston was presenting.
I have been assigned to bring you Oscars' hottest couples this Sunday, and WAHOOOOO, to quote Monica Geller, "IT JUST GOT INTERESTING!"
Word on the street is that Jennifer Aniston will be bringing boyfriend John Mayer as her date, while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are sure to be on hand for the festivities, as they are both nominated.
John told Popsugar.com on Tuesday, "It's my first Oscars. And it's my first being an Oscar boyfriend."
I realize that this could very well be the most anti-climactic event ever, but just think if it's not. Like if the two couples show up on the red carpet at the same time. Or if Jen and Angie run into each other in the ladies' room.
I. Can't. Wait.
This is funny!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's brood may not be filled with freakishly well-behaved children, after all.
According to Britain's The Sun, the superstar couple had to leave the BAFTA awards early, because four of their six kids were causing all kinds of havoc in their fancy London hotel. When Brangelina got back to the Dorchester Hotel, they found Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh disturbing other guests.
"They were running up and down the hallway for over an hour," one guest told the paper. "Their nanny tried to quiet them down and move them out the way when people came through. But she had her hands full with the four of them."
Brad did recently say that he and the fam live a "nomadic" lifestyle, but that it works for them.
And that it may, but nobody said it worked for the patrons of a super-posh hotel.
I never thought this day would come -- and I'm not saying that I believe it will be like this forever -- but I'm kinda getting bored with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
I mean, really, how much more can we say about them? They're really good looking people with a ton of kids, there is the Jennifer Aniston aspect of it all, that is growing really tired, and they're decent actors who are up for Oscars this year.
Angelina told ABC's Nightline that, natch, she's "rooting for Brad" to take home the statue on Feb. 22, and that she's not really into watching flicks unless her man is in them.
"No, I just, I don't really like to watch movies," Angie said, adding, "I love to watch Brad's movies."
As for her own career, the mom of six says she's not going to focus on acting for very much longer, as her priorities have changed.
"I'd say kids first, kids, woman to Brad and then my work internationally and being a kind of ... trying to educate myself and trying to learn about the world and ... trying to do some good things while I'm alive," she told Nightline. "So what is that, fourth?" she asked of acting.
What's your take? Are you over Brangelina? Or do they still light your fire? Tell me.

This has to be what Megan Fox has been waiting for.
The super-hot starlet has been compared to Angelina Jolie since she first came on the Hollywood scene -- and now it looks like she may be benefitting from their beauty similarities.
Sources say that the producers of the Tomb Raider movies want to do a whole new slew of films surrounding lead character Lara Croft -- and that it could be Megan instead of Angelina in the lead role this time around.
Nothing is confirmed but Megan is so hot right now that, if it's not this role that catapults here into leading lady status, there's sure to be another.
I actually have two thoughts about this quote:"Jessica Biel for one reason and Cate Blanchett for another. I've worked with Cate twice, and I'd say she's probably the best actress out there. I'd like to do another movie with Angie [ex-wife Angelina Jolie], too, one of these days. We talk all the time. She and I keep looking for something to do together; we just have to find the right thing."
-- Billy Bob Thornton, to Theboot.com, on which actress he's dying to work with
1) How fast do you think Billy B. and Angie would be back in the sack if they worked on a movie together?
2) I don't even want to entertain the reason that he wants to work with Jessica Biel.

Okay, those are some beautiful babies.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived in Japan today, with their whole crew. Angelina carried six-month old Vivienne in a papoose, while Brad toted Viv's counterpart, Knox.
Look how Knox is wearing a matching hat to Brad's!
Seriously, I'm dying over how cute they are.
Check out Brad Pitt's obvious look of goony love, as he stared at Angelina Jolie, while she posed for some single shots on last night's SAG awards red carpet!
Those are some major googly eyes!
