Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie To Host Same Party

And the long awaited meeting will finally happen. Reports are circulating that Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are about to meet face to face as they are both scheduled to appear in one same event.

Brad Pitt's past and present women are both set to help host the Oscar Awards' Night Before' party. The Mr. and Mrs. Smith stars are reportedly added to the list of hosts at the party, which ex-wife Aniston has been hosting since its start in 2003.

"Everybody in town is talking about what will happen that night," a source says.

The media are set and ready to document the most anticipated meeting just as they have documented the trio's highly publicized relationship. Pitt and Aniston married in 2000 and divorced in 2005. The public speculated that the marriage ended because Pitt had grown closer to his co-star, Jolie, on the set. Both had denied adultery. To date, Jolie and Pitt have four kids together, 3 are adopted. They said they have no plans to get married.

According to reports, Aniston is unsure if she will be able to attend and host the party as she has other commitments although she is ready to reconcile with Jolie. "Jen's been ready to make peace for a while," the source says.

All Blue Eyed People Related to Brad Pitt

According to a new paper by a Danish researcher, blue eyes come as the result of a single mutation that occurred 10,000 years ago. Which means that all people with blue peepers have a common ancestor.

What do Frank Sinatra, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow have in common? According to a new study, they all share the same ancestor.

The paper, published Thursday by Danish geneticist Hans Eiberg in the journal Human Genetics, links all baby blues to a single mutation that occurred 10,000 years ago.

Eiberg says the mutation shuts off the production of the pigment responsible for brown eye color, resulting in a pure blue iris. Because the mutation is so specific, it can only be explained one way: "There must be a common ancestor for people with blue eye color," Eiberg told

Eiberg started his search for the elusive mutation close to home. Using the Copenhagen Family Bank, a massive genetic database with detailed information on over 6,000 Danes, Eiberg found a family with three generations of blue-eyes. Looking at DNA from their blood, Eiberg homed in on a single, tiny blip in the genetic code. "All of the family had the same mutation," he said.

Originally, Eiberg says, everyone in the world had brown eyes. But the mutation acts as a switch that shuts off the OCA2 gene, which controls the eye's production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives color to eyes and hair.

The mutation limits the OCA2 gene, restricting production of melanin in the eye. The result: The eye's brown color is diluted, giving people with the mutation pure blue eyes. (Shutting melanin production down entirely would result in albinism, affecting hair and skin color as well.)

People without the off-switch, on the other hand, have eye color ranging from deep brown to blue flecked with brown. (Green-eyed people can thank an entirely different part of the genome for their pretty peepers.)

The mutation is extremely specific: All people with blue eyes have the exact same genetic variation, and anyone with brown or green eyes do not. As a result, Eiberg said, it must have been passed down from a single person. "It's not a guess," Eiberg says. "It has to be."

To make sure the Danish family wasn't a fluke, Eiberg tested hundreds more samples, including people from Turkey with dark hair, light skin and blue eyes and Jordanians with dark hair, dark skin and blue eyes. They all had the same mutation as the Danes. "I have analyzed 800 samples," Eiberg says. "Out of the 800, 799 eyes are the same."

Eiberg has long been fascinated by the genetics of eye color. In 1996, he discovered the OCA2 gene, which helps control eye color. The blue-eye mutation works directly to turn off the OCA2 gene's production of melanin in the eye.

Eye color is a good example of how research is complicating our understanding of heredity. "Eye color is a textbook example of how genes work in a simple way, and now it turns out it's a bit more complicated than that," said Zoltan Bochdanovits, a statistical geneticist at the Vrije University in Amsterdam. "They do present quite convincing evidence it's a single mutation causing this."

Where and when the mutation occurred is more speculative, but based on the number of people with pure blue eyes in the world today, Eiberg argues that the original Ol' Blue Eyes lived between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago. Existing research on prehistoric population movements suggest that the original blue-eyed babe may have lived around the Black Sea, near modern-day Ukraine or Turkey, and that their descendants migrated to Northern Europe during the Stone Age.

Like freckles, hair color or baldness, there's no real physical advantage to being blue-eyed. Says Eiberg: "It simply shows that nature is constantly shuffling the human genome, creating a genetic cocktail of human chromosomes and trying out different changes as it does so."

That doesn't mean eye color isn't important. After all, that long-distant ancestor managed to get quite a few copies of his or her mutation passed along. "I can very much imagine mate choice depends on eye color in humans," said Vrije University's Bochdanovits. "Personally, I tend to believe if you're blond and blue-eyed you have an advantage, at least in some populations."

Will Brad Pitt Become a Green Movie Star Mayor?

Move over John Edwards: You might be losing your title of Politician with the Best Hair. There's a rumor spreading that Brad Pitt will be running for office in New Orleans.

The actor sometimes lives in the city with his partner Angelina Jolie, and has been working there with his Make It Right (MIR) campaign. MIR is an organization building affordable, sustainable homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, the area hit the hardest by Hurricane Katrina. The goal is to build 150 homes that use solar power, natural light, energy efficiency, and other green design features for displaced residents, and to show that the system can be replicated.

Now there's some buzz that Pitt is interested in really taking charge of The Big Easy, and we're pretty sure we haven't seen a politician like him. An elected official who not only believes that global warming is a real threat but who has initiated a sustainable building project? A politician who has openly talked about our dependence on foreign oil? A politician who showed up to his movie premiere in a BMW Hydrogen 7, and who models organic cotton t-shirts that benefit his charitable organization?

Ok some things might have to change with the new job. But seriously, The Big Easy could only benefit from having a leader who genuinely cares about the environment and citizens' health. The rest of the country would be impacted by learning about the importance of sustainable design—and by visiting the city's official website to see pics of Mayor Pitt.

Brad Pitt tops plastic surgery requests

Brad Pitt has been named the man most other men want to look like in a new poll.

Men undergoing plastic surgery request the 44-year-old actor's eyes, nose, lips, chin and bum more often than those of any other star.

The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery asked 20,000 surgeons in 84 countries which celebrities most influenced patients' decisions to go under the knife.

The survey found that most females asked for Angelina Jolie's lips, Pamela Anderson's breasts, Jennifer Lopez's bottom and Sophia Loren's eyes.

However, doctors also said women often mentioned celebrities whose breasts they did not want, particularly Anderson, Dolly Parton and Victoria Beckham.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Baby News Could Earn Money for Charity!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have remained tight lipped about the possibility of another Pitt-Jolie baby but their lack of acknowledgement surrounding the subject might end up paying off big time - for charity, that is.

Jolie and Pitt are reportedly waiting to announce the news of a new arrival in order to cash in on the official announcement. Reports claim that the pair plans to negotiate an exclusive interview with one media outlet (not yet been decided) and will donate the money from the interview to charity.

Brad and Angie are no strangers to cashing in on their fame for a good cause; the pair donated the four million dollars they received from Getty Images for the first pics of their biological daughter Shiloh to charity as well.

If Brangie decide they want to sell the story, the couple end up raising a lot of money for charity. On top of the exclusive story, the pair can also raise money by selling the first photos of their new baby, much like they did with Shiloh's.

There's no word yet on which outlet will close the deal (or if a plan for a deal even exists at this point) but we wouldn't put it past this power couple to cash in for a cause.

Wonder how much they'll get for the story...

Sexy Angelina Jolie Topless Scenes May Suffer From Family Influences

In her once wild Hollywood career Angelina Jolie had no problem stripping down for any role. She would gladly slip out of her clothes and the openly bisexual Jolie would romp with men or women on screen. But now she may be re-thinking what roles and challenges she may soon take on and may take more time in selecting what roles she will play. The reason, she is thinking of the influences it may have on her family and her four children.
A report claims that her son Maddox is most proud of his mother when he can actually watch her films and brag to his little friends about her acting abilities. Even though Jolie recently said she loves to film sex scenes, the influence of her kids may have her looking for more family oriented roles the report claims.
It's not clear what roles Jolie would take on. Her latest projects have not been family friendly as she went completely full frontal in the film Beowulf with a whole bunch of digital enhancement. She does do some voice work as Master Tigress in Kung Fu Panda. It is always hard to tell with Jolie though.
Right after she adopted a child she re-named Pax Thien Jolie she remarked that she would be a "stay-at-home mom but then went to work on at lest four film projects right after returning with the little boy. Have we seen the last of a sexy Jolie in film work?

Jolie's father hoping she really is pregnant

One person who is hoping that all those media reports about Angelina Jolie being pregnant with twins is true is her father Jon Voight.

Father and daughter have been estranged ever since Voight went on national television and pleaded with Jolie to get help for her 'serious emotional problems', something that could have put her adoption of eldest son Maddox in jeopardy.

Voight for his part said that if the reports were true, then it would be 'wonderful'.

"It's wonderful news that she's having another child, if that's true," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

"I can't count on anything the press says about her because there is so much said but she has certainly captured the imagination of the press."

Jolie fuelled rumours that she and Brad Pitt are expecting again after she wore a maternity-style dress on the red carpet at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards on Sunday (27Jan08).

The couple are already parents to four kids - adopted children Maddox, six; Pax, four; Zahara, three; and biological daughter Shiloh, 20 months.

Cover Story: Angelina Jolie Pregnant!

Of all the A-list names on the red carpet at Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, Angelina Jolie was the one on everyone's lips as they wondered what the Oscar winner might be hiding beneath that long, billowing Hermes gown — an unusual style pick for an actress known for tight, body-hugging outfits.

And now OK! has learned that Angelina is indeed expecting baby no. 2 with boyfriend Brad Pitt and that the actress is over the moon about bringing another child into the world.

"Angie has wanted a second biological baby for some time now," a friend of the star tells OK!. "And the minute she's pregnant, she just glows. She's the type that doesn't want to scream it to everyone, but she has the quiet, expectant mother glow. Her smile says she's the luckiest woman in the world."

But while all is well now, the pal says it did take some persistence for Angelina to conceive. Earlier this month, OK! reported that the star was trying to work her upcoming press tour for her new film Wanted around a possible pregnancy.

The actress also sought the help of a nutritionist. "When Angelina decided to get pregnant, the nutritionist told her that she needed to start eating more calories a day," one source tells OK! "She was averaging 1,000 to 1,100 calories a day, and the nutritionist wanted her to bump it up to between 1,600 and 1,800 a day."

Jolie, Pitt to adopt second African girl

Angelina Jolie's brother has confirmed that the actress is to adopt another African girl with partner Brad Pitt.

The couple plan to tour orphanages in March in search of a sister to bond with Ethiopian daughter Zahara.

James Haven is quoted in the Daily Mirror as saying: "They are creating one big family and will keep adopting as long as they are able to.

"Angie and Brad talk about how much they have been taught by their kids. In many respects Angie saved Zahara's life and there are so many more children whose lives she could save and she talks about that constantly."

Jolie and Pitt already have three adopted children - two-year-old Zahara, six-year-old Maddox from Cambodia, and four-year-old Pax from Vietnam - as well as 20-month-old biological daughter Shiloh.

They were originally reported to be planning a second African adoption last August.

Brad Pitt

Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, the son of Jane Etta (née Hillhouse), a high school counselor, and William Alvin Pitt, a truck company owner.Along with his brother Doug and sister Julie Neal, he grew up in Springfield, Missouri, where the family moved soon after his birth. Pitt was raised a Baptist.He attended Kickapoo High School, where he was involved in sports, debating, student government, and acting. He attended the Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri - Columbia.

Early career
In 1987, Pitt arrived in Beverly Hills, California. He studied under coach Roy London for six years. He first appeared in the sitcom Head Of The Class, for a while dating the show's star Robin Givens. He also guest starred in two episodes of Growing Pains. Pitt appeared as Chris in the long-running soap Another World. While auditioning for the show Our House, he was asked to read for another part, and found himself playing Shalane McCall's boyfriend Charles on the Friday night time soap Dallas. He also had a number of roles in prime-time series, such as thirtysomething, 21 Jump Street, and Freddy's Nightmares. Pitt appeared uncredited in both Less Than Zero and Charlie Sheen's No Man's Land before appearing in Cutting Class, about a maniac stalking cheerleaders. He began dating co-star Jill Schoelen.

Moderate success
In 1988, Pitt had his first starring role, in Dark Side Of The Sun, where he played a young American taken by his family to the Adriatic to find a remedy for a skin condition. The movie was shot in Yugoslavia in the summer of '88 with Pitt being paid $1,523 a week for seven weeks. However, with editing nearly complete, war broke out and much of the film was lost. The film was released years later. Pitt won a part in the TV movie Too Young to Die?, about an abused teenager given the death penalty for murder. Pitt played the part of a drug addict, Silly Canton, who took advantage of runaway Juliette Lewis, who Pitt began dating in real life. The pair would be together for three years.

In 1991, Pitt starred as Joe Maloney in Across the Tracks in which he portrayed a high school runner with a difficult criminal brother played by Ricky Schroder. Pitt attracted broader public attention from a supporting role in Thelma & Louise where he played a small time criminal drifter in a love scene with Geena Davis, famous for Pitt's topless performance wearing a cowboy hat.

After Thelma and Louise, Pitt starred in the low budget 1991 film Johnny Suede as an awkward dreamer who aspired to be a big-haired rock star alongside Catherine Keener and Nick Cave, directed by Tom DiCillo. Pitt had agreed to play the part before Thelma & Louise was released. After appearing in Cool World, Pitt starred in Robert Redford's A River Runs Through It in 1992, for which Pitt learned fly fishing by casting off of Hollywood buildings. Then came Kalifornia in 1993, a road movie in which he played a scruffy serial killer alongside his then girlfriend Juliette Lewis and X-Files actor David Duchovny.

Relationship with Angelina Jolie
Speculation of a relationship between the two began to be confirmed with the first private paparazzi photos of Jolie and Pitt emerged April 9, 2005 (and were reportedly bought for $500,000). They showed Pitt, Jolie and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya. During the summer, the pair were seen together with increasing frequency, and the entertainment media dubbed the couple "Brangelina". Two months later, the highly-anticipated July 2005 issue of W magazine hit newsstands, featuring Pitt and Jolie posed as a couple.

In July 2005, he accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia,where Jolie adopted a six-month-old girl named Zahara;later Jolie indicated that she and Pitt made the decision to adopt the girl together.In December 2005, it was confirmed that Pitt was seeking to legally adopt Jolie's two children as his (as part of legal requirements), classified advertisements in the Los Angeles paper Daily Commerce announcing the name change request.On January 19, 2006, a judge in California approved this request. The children's legal surnames were formally changed to "Jolie-Pitt".During a charity trip to Haiti with Wyclef Jean, rumors began to circulate that Jolie was pregnant. On January 11, 2006, Jolie confirmed to People magazine that she was pregnant with Pitt's child.On May 27, 2006, Jolie gave birth to a daughter, named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, at the Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia by the couple's Los Angeles obstetrician, assisted by local staff. Pitt confirmed that their newborn daughter would have a Namibian passport.Public interest in the child was immense. In an August 2006 survey, 41 percent of participating 18 to 24-year-old American adults correctly identified that the couple had named their baby Shiloh.Jolie decided to offer the first pictures of Shiloh through the distributor Getty Images herself, rather than allowing paparazzi to take these extremely valuable snapshots. People magazine paid more than $4.1 million for the North American rights, while British magazine Hello! obtained the international rights for roughly $3.5 million; the total rights sale earned up to $10 million worldwide – the most expensive celebrity image of all time.Jolie and Pitt donated all the earnings to an undisclosed charity. On July 26, 2006 Madame Tussauds of New York unveiled a wax figure of two-month-old Shiloh; it is the first infant re-created in wax by Madame Tussauds.

Pitt and Jolie are not married. In 2006, Pitt said, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

Angelina Jolie

Voted as one of the sexiest women of the world in more than 10 internationally-distributed magazines, Angelina Jolie is at the top of almost every man’s fantasy wish list; and most women’s too. In fact, it’s hard not to drool over the self-proclaimed bad girl with her full, pouty lips, knockout chest and remarkable talent onscreen. The resemblance isn’t a coincidence; Angelina Jolie is in fact a real world-version of Lara Croft. Born in 1975 as Angelina Jolie Voight, the booming actress quickly changed her last name to avoid any resemblance or connection to the success of father Jon Voight. Although she studied at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute at a young age, by the time she turned 16, Angelina had turned her attention to a career as a professional model in big cities like London and New York . When Angelina became a star in the music world although, with famous artists like the Rolling Stones, Meatloaf and Lenny Kravitz casting her in their videos, she promptly jumped back into acting and began work at the Met Theater Group in Los Angeles after a short stint at the New York University film school.

After appearing in her first starring role in the sequel to the Van Damme sci-fi hit, “Cyborg,” Angelina snatched a role in the cult film, “Hackers,” alongside future husband Johnny Lee Miller, and although their marriage lasted longer than a J-Lo engagement, by 2000, the couple was divorced after years of separation. The growing actress continued to appear in a number of other, low-budget films, but she managed to receive rave reviews for most of her performances. Angelina finally got her first big break with the HBO film, “Gia,” based on the true story of model Gia Carangi, and was garnered with a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and an Emmy nomination that would carry her into Hollywood with a waiting room full of horny studio execs ready to offer her the next big role. Nearly a star for only a year, Angelina began appearing in blockbuster films with big-name actors, and she wasn’t letting them push her around. By 2000, Angelina walked away with another Golden Globe, this time for Best Actress, and showed no signs of slowing down. Her wild lifestyle was unruly, but when she decided to marry fellow actor Billy Bob Thornton in May of 2000, fans thought she had gone nuts: the couple swapped spit in public, bore tattoos of each other’s names and carried around vials of their lover’s blood wherever they went. Angelina quickly changed from a hot punk rocker to a creepy, morbid vampire, and her questionable relationship to brother James Haven still racks the minds of most media critics. Regardless of her past choices, Angelina has sincerely turned it around for the better. She is now an active supporter of aiding third world countries in need of economical help, has adopted a young Cambodian boy who gets to wear designer baby clothes and a stylin’ Mohawk, and has continued to push the envelope in the roles she chooses. If you thought Angelina was a babe before, she’s a whole new category with class.
