Brad & Angelina in Threesome????

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get their fair share of speculation on their love life. It is mostly fair game as when they met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, sparks flew and so did the rumors. It didn't help that both Brad and Angelina continued to deny everything until they showed up in Louisville, Kentucky together. But the latest blind item that grew to a threesome is a bit much. In Touch reveals in this week's issue how it at times gets a bit out of control.

The magazine reports in its cover story this week that when a wild gossip item ran in the April 5 New York Daily News asking, “Which megastar couple, whose torrid fling was first flagged in this column, consummated their acquaintance with a ménage a trios?” many wondered if it could be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

From there, rumors began to circulate all the way from New York to Los Angeles, the magazine reports in a story in this week's issue. It just kept growing.

The report claims that during a party on April 10 at New York’s Indochine restaurant for photographer Patrik Andersson, a guest was overheard claiming that Brad, 43, and Angie,31, were having an affair with 23-year-old supermodel Karolina Kurkova. Even for Angelina - who’s had affairs with women before and once boasted that she had two lovers at the same time - it was the steamiest rumor yet. But the gossip didn’t stop there.

Another insider dished that Karolina was overheard at a recent fashion fitting talking about her relationship with the couple. The insider says, “She was giddy, acting like a schoolgirl.”

As much as it sounds like a late night Cinemax movie that everyone would like to see, it is very, very likely not true. There’s no proof that the trio have ever been together at the same time. That's a pretty big key for a threesome. And Karolina, who lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend of four years, Alessandro, tells In Touch, “I have never met them.” But don't be surprised to see it more. Brad and Angie are in Prague and guess where the supermodel is from - the Czech Republic.

Cue the rep: Brad’s rep insists it’s all just gossip.

Angelina Jolie Cheating on Brad Pitt?????

On the afternoon of April 27, Angelina Jolie made her directorial debut at the Tribeca Film Festival with her documentary about daily life around the globe A Place in Time.

But Jolie’s real show, however, didn’t begin until later that night.

After an official bash at Hotel Gansevoort – where the star drank wine and, a source tells Us, was “really outgoing and very chatty” – Jolie headed to a small VIP afterparty at nearby eatery Gin Lane.

Among the guests: actor Olivier Martinez, a participant in the documentary and her costar in the 2004 thriller Taking Lives, with whom she reportedly had a fling at the time.

Encouraged by a group of drummers, the actress eventually began waving her arms around. But it wasn’t until Jolie started dancing for Martinez that things got really wild.

“She turned to him on the banquette and was shaking it in front of him. She was giving him a lap dance, ” another reveler tells Us. “She was looking over her shoulder, tossing a glance his way.”

As another partygoer describes it, “It was very, very flirty.”

“When she is with someone she knows, she might appear to be flirtatious, but it’s just affection.”

Where was boyfriend Brad Pitt? Should he be worried about the couple’s recent outing? When are Brad and Angie going to see each other next?

James Haven, Angelina Jolie's Creepster Bro Speaks about his Famous Sis

James Haven, Angelina Jolie's brother, has been speaking out about his famous sister. Last week, he expressed concern over her super-slim figure to a British publication and now, he's opened up to the weekly mag, Grazia. Us Weekly provided the following quote, in which James responded to rumors that Angie is controlling:

"I have never seen any sign of tension between them. They make all their decisions together. It's rubbish that she tries to control him. They have a balanced relationship; they each do their stuff. I've never seen moments where one is nagging or controlling the other."

He did concede that his sister likes to be the leader in the relationship, "All great leaders are controlling."

On how Brad changed Angelina:
"Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond, but not on the usual level. Brad is so strong for her; when she feels vulnerable, he has the most incredible strength. She says she couldn't have adopted more children after Maddox without him."

On why they work:
"The great thing about Brad and Angelina is that they really get each other's sense of humor, and make each other laugh a lot. They talk about politics a great deal and are very creative together with the projects they are working on. If it keeps going the way it's going, they'll be together for life."

Pax's Birth Mother Breaks Her Silence

Pham Thu Dung, the biological mother of Pax Thien Jolie, says she's happy that her child has found a new life with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The British newspaper News of the World tracked Dung down in the Vietnam neighborhood she calls home and talked to the 29-year-old about why she gave Pax up for adoption in 2003. Though Dung admits that she's presently incapable of taking care of the three-year-old, she hopes that one day in the future he'll call her "mother" again.

On giving Pax up for adoption:
"I am not his mother anymore because I abandoned him. I saw his face in the newspapers and I wanted to recognize him but I couldn't. He was a stranger to me. I wanted to forget all about him but it hurts so much to see his face and hear about everything that is happening to him. It brings all the pain back to me. My dream is that one day he'll visit me and call me mother. But it's only a dream, I know it's impossible."

On Angelina adopting Pax:
"I want to see my son again and tell him I'm so sorry I had to give him away. I am very happy for him. I hope he has a good life now. He is better off with the movie star because I am not a good mother. I wasn't able to take care of my baby."

On her hopes for the future:
"I realize I am not capable of looking after him. I can't even feed myself properly, let alone a baby as well. I only eat one meal a day. I just hope one day I will see him just to see how he is and looks. I want to know that he's ok and that his new mother loves him."

On her parents signing the adoption papers without her knowledge:
"There is nothing I can do. I can't change what has happened."

On Pax's father leaving her during the pregnancy:
"I kept my baby because I thought my boyfriend would marry me. I wanted to keep the baby and live with him. I trusted him, but he left me."

On taking two fixes of heroin a day:
"I really want to give up. I know drugs might kill me. If I can manage it, I will live a normal life. I really miss my grandmother and my family. I want to sort myself out and go home. But until I can give up drugs, I know I can never go home. I know my father is angry with me and I know the neighbors will laugh at my family. I don't want my son to be ashamed of me when he grows up."

Hours after meeting with News of the World, Dung was picked up by police and escorted to her family's home. A friend who was with her at the time told the paper that her parents have been ordered to keep her there or she faces jail-time.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Donate $100,000 to a clinic in Sudan

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $100,000 to help build the first modern medical facility in Duk County, Sudan, PEOPLE has learned.

The Duk Lost Boys Clinic is the brainchild of John Dau, director of the non-profit organization Direct Change's Sudan Project and himself one of the "Lost Boys" of the Sudan.

His story is featured in the documentary God Grew Tired of Us, which Pitt executive produced.

Pitt and Jolie, who donated the money through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation, first learned of his efforts to build the clinic at the film's Hollywood premiere in January, according to a statement from Direct Change.

The clinic, set to open in the spring and serve more than 150,000 people, is located in the village Dau fled as a boy during Sudan's civil war in the late 1980s.

"Words cannot express my gratitude and the gratitude of the people of Duk County," Dau said in the statement. "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt demonstrate the American spirit of generosity. Hopefully, their donation will inspire others to join with us to rebuild southern Sudan."

Jolie, 31, has a personal connection to the troubled African nation: As a goodwill ambassador for the United Nation's refugee agency, she recently traveled to Chad, where she met with refugees from Sudan's war-torn Darfur region.

Later, in an op-ed piece in The Washington Post, she called upon the international community to intervene to stop the violence there.

Earlier this week, Jolie adopted her fourth child, 3-year-old Pax Thien Jolie, from Vietnam. "We are slowly beginning to build his trust and bond," she tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "But it will feel complete only when we are all together."

Angelina Jolie & Pax on the cover of People & Hello Magazines

Angelina Jolie debuts her new son, Pax Thien Jolie, in Ho Chi Minh City for the first time since his adoption last week. The mother of four was joined in Vietnam by a welcoming committee: big brother Maddox, 5, and little sister Zahara, 2 (10-month-old Shiloh was home with dad), as the 3-year-old now joins the world's most famous multicultural family.

Angelina Jolie carries her newly adopted son Pax Thien Jolie, 3, as she rushes to a VIP room at the Tan Son Nhat airport on Morning morning in Ho Chi Minh city, southern Vietnam.

That big umbrella is being held by her personal security officer, Mickey.

Angelina is expected to meet with U.S. Embassy officials Tuesday to apply for a visa for 3-year-old Pax. Once the visa is issued, she can take him to L.A. She is expected to leave Hanoi on Wednesday.

Angelina Decides to be a SAHM who has very good manners

Angelina Jolie has apologized for exposing her new son, Pax Thien Jolie, to the media frenzy that greeted them in Vietnam – and has vowed to focus on her growing family and be a stay-at-home mom.

"I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life," Jolie told Friday's Ho Chi Ming City Law newspaper, according to a translation on the Associated Press. "I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I am very proud and happy to be their mother."

Jolie and her new son went through an emotional introduction at Thursday's formal welcoming ceremony, during which the 3-year-old Vietnamese boy started crying when his new mom knelt down to talk to him.

As for all the attention brought to her new son, Jolie tells the newspaper: "Photographs and press coverage will make him upset. I'm very worried about that. I would like to say I'm sorry for bringing this into Pax's life."

Since arriving in Vietnam on Wednesday, Jolie, 31, and her son, Maddox, 5, have been followed by a horde of photographers and reporters.

But in answering those who have questioned the adoption, Jolie says, "Everyone would agree that children need to have a family. I have the ability to help children fulfill that desire. Why should I say no?"

Pax, whose given name before he was adopted was Pham Quang, is the fourth child for the actress and her partner, Brad Pitt. Their brood includes Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia, Zahara, 2, who was adopted from Ethiopia, and 10-month-old Shiloh, who was born to the couple last year.





Angelina left a thank-you note for Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, thanking them for taking such wonderful care of 3-year-old son Pax Thien Jolie. Angelina’s thank-you note reads:
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son. He has been with you for years. I’m sure he will miss your beautiful caring staff as much as you will miss him. — Angelina Jolie“

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt's New Son: Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt

Angelina Jolie picked up her new adopted son Pax Thien Jolie at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, early Thursday.

Brangelina renamed their new three-year-old Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt from his given name at birth Pham Quang Sang to

In Latin, “PAX” means “peace.”

In Vietnamese, “THIEN” means “kind and good” or “helpful” or “heaven” or “quieting” or “bright.”

Brangelina's Adoption Request DENIED

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have failed in their latest attempt to add to their rainbow family. The actor-activist couple learned yesterday that the Louisiana SPCA Animal Shelter had denied their request to adopt a three-month-old Labrador retriever puppy.

The shelter's refusal came as a shock to Brangelina watchers, who assumed that the couple's celebrity status and clout would be sufficient to allow them to adopt the next dalai lama if they chose. What's more, the shelter's website makes the following people-friendly declaration: "Whether you are looking for young or old, high energy or laid-back, we have the perfect pet for your lifestyle."

So, Brangelina watchers are asking, "What went wrong?"

A shelter employee who did not wish to be identified provided answers to that question.

"Granted, we are in the business of finding good homes for animals, but we don't just hand them over to every Tom, Dick, and Brad who walks through the door flashing money, a pretty wife, and a megawatt smile."

According to the shelter employee, the Jolie-Pitts' adoption request was denied because they had failed to answer several items on the adoption questionnaire satisfactorily.

"First, they did not meet our six month's residency requirement. Then under the why-do-you-want-a-pet question, they wrote, 'As a companion for our children.' That's not always a red flag, but two of their children are too young to behave responsibly around puppies, and we got the impression the couple wasn't through having and adopting chldren yet. Frankly, they came uncomfortably close to matching our 'collectors' profile

"We were also concerned about the couple's marital status, as we prefer to place puppies in more traditional intact homes. Their lack of knowledge about the breed didn't help their cause either. She couldn't even point to Labrador on a map, then she tried to excuse her failure by saying it was obviously not a country with pressing humanitarian issues."

The shelter employee was also puzzled by Ms. Jolie's behavior toward the puppy.

"During a supervised interaction period she held the puppy in her arms the entire time. Mr. Pitt kept asking her to put the puppy in the stroller he had brought with them so he could practice taking it for walks, but she ignored him until she finally told him to shut up. I felt sorry for him. He had the look of a man who's used to taking orders."

Neither Mr. Pitt nor Ms. Jolie answered our requests for comments about the shelter worker's statements.

Angelina Jolie was "Transformed"

NEWSWEEK: What was your original motivation for working with the UNHCR, for doing these kinds of trips?
Angelina Jolie: I started traveling about seven years ago with film. I would go to places like Cambodia and hear about the many refugees in Thailand and hear about the land mines and hear about the history....I remember sitting up for two days straight and reading everything obsessively. I read about the UNHCR and I realized it was an agency that I didn't know anything about: that they were taking care of 20 million people. ... And I remember realizing that I couldn't understand how I had not known that my whole life.



When did it occur to you that you could do something about this directly? Did people approach you or —
I approached them. I think they thought I was a little crazy.

When was this?
Six years ago. I was very nervous to call the U.N. agency at the time. I [was] considered a rebel in Hollywood. At the time I was also a bit of the wild child. So first I went to Washington [to the UNHCR office] and I sat with everybody there and said, "You know, I know you don't know me. You might have heard things about me… And I don't want to bring negative attention to your agency. If you could just help me, I'll pay my way."

I spent the next year and a half going to, first, two camps in Africa, and then Pakistan and Cambodia. And with no cameras and with no press and had the opportunity to have this great education before I spoke at all…. I was transformed in such an amazing way.


But you do have photographers following you now.
It took me a while to agree to do it. I guess I saw that so many times the picture comes before the knowledge and the substance and I certainly didn't want to do that to myself or the organization. And also, I really just was shy. I was shy about sitting on the floor and talking to a woman and having a camera take a picture because I thought it was making less of my conversation with her. But… I was changed by the faces of the people I saw. "It is something that I am incapable of describing...those faces and that place and those people. And so I think it's just—let the people speak for themselves through the camera. And if I can draw you in a little because I'm familiar, then that's great. Because I know that at the end you're not looking at me, you're looking at them.

I think it's fair to say people start out by looking at you, Angelina.
As long as they end up looking at them, that's the point.


Do you worry about people who say this is celebrity tourism?
I don't know if anybody saying that has spent the last six years of their life going to over 30 camps and really spending time with these people. I can't care. At the end of the day, I'm sure a lot of criticism could keep a lot of people from doing this kind of work…

If someone had a direct criticism of my opinion on the issue, if someone had a direct criticism of the image shown because they think it hurts somebody then I will take that into consideration. But there are a lot of people that simply have an immediate gut reaction and they just don't want to combine artists with foreign policy. And hey, I understand. I get it. I know where you're coming from. And to each his own. … You know, I was more shy when I first went into a camp that other field officers would not want me there.

You were worried that you'd get in the way.
Yeah. That's why I brought no media, it's why I sat back. That's why I just helped them load things. And if I felt that I was ever getting in the way, I wouldn't do it. Because I do care about the opinion of the aid worker, I do care about the opinion of the refugee. I care less about the opinion of the person who's never been in the field but has an opinion about celebrity.

Do you still go with so few people? I can't believe you take no one with you…
I take no one. I [go] by myself on a commercial plane and into the field with my backpack.

You still do that?
Yes, I just did that on my last trip. I met the photographer there.

In the camp?
No, in the airport. We didn't even realize we were on the same flight. We landed at like midnight and got up at like 5 in the morning to catch the WFP [World Food Program] plane [to a town near the camp].

When you got there, what were the people saying about their situation? There are several photographs with this boy tied to a tent pole, and there's also another photograph of a group of women near some tents, and one of them has her ankles chained.
The first time I saw that in the camp [it was] obviously really shocking. They are people who are traumatized by the bombing [by Sudanese government forces attacking villages in Darfur] and by war. The old woman may have had some dementia before. The reality is there are one or two aid workers for every 2,000 refugees. The same with the doctors, the therapists. The basic need there [is] to just try to keep these people safe. To keep the tents up in all the sand storms, try to get the food distributed and basic health-care needs. The [chained] woman started to beat her daughter with anything she could find. She kept hearing voices of the people yelling at her. So she feels constantly under attack. I'm no therapist, so I don't understand all the details. But when I did try to talk to her, she seemed pretty rational. But then she started aggressively telling me that I had to stop them from putting snakes on her. And for the people to stop yelling at her and for the bombs to stop dropping.


And the little boy?
The little boy was a normal 3-year-old [now 7] who disappeared for 48 hours after [his village was bombed]. I can only imagine what he saw. Sure he saw death. And when found, he was found in a state…

As a first reaction you want to remove [the rope]. But the mother, she has four other kids, she's by herself. Therapists visit him, but if [he's] left alone he will disappear or bang himself. I talked to him for like half an hour and just kind of looked at him for a long time before he touched me and there was a little boy in there who was open to a kind sound.… There's a normal little kid right there, but he's got a look of fear. He's nervous to touch. And you can feel that need for safety. The mother unfortunately can't not go work for the other children and can't sit with him all day long and hold him, which is probably what would do some good. But what he needs is probably some serious therapy. [There are] lots of children like him there. Lots of victims of war. [It's a] whole other thing that you usually don't get to address because they have to be so focused on the basic needs of survival. These are the many other casualties of the kind of war that is happening in Darfur.

Do you despair?
Certainly, at times. The first two years I just cried constantly like a woman does.

Oh, like anybody does.
Yes, like anybody does, thank you. I couldn't really talk about the situation without being emotional. And I went through a period of just complete lack of hope. Just feeling like it was way too overwhelming and feeling like I wouldn't be able to make a dent. And then I went through a period of anger that smart, articulate people in power have not been able to answer these issues quickly and clearly and define ways of intervention. And that it just keeps going on. About a year ago, I got a lot of books on international law and I tried to study what was going on—just out of a curiosity about what was this bigger picture. I don't want to have to keep going back to camps, five different times, over the next 30 years of my life, [for situations] that there are no solutions for.


People will look at these pictures of you in Chad and ask, “What can I do?” What should they do?
There are great NGOs like SOS [Austria's SOS Kinderdorp] and there are great NGOs inside and under the U.N. that you could send aid to. It's important for the American people to know that a lot of people believe—I certainly believe—that it has been their outcry and their interest that has motivated our government. I think that the American people have paid attention to Darfur—a really amazing groundswell of people that really care, and are moved and emotional about the things they've seen when it is brought to their attention.

Where would you take the spotlight next?
I want to go back to Cambodia. I would like to understand and see what I can find out about what's happening inside Burma.

You're living in New Orleans right now. Is that just because you like the city or because you wanted to bring attention to New Orleans, too?
A bit of both. Brad was doing a film here and so we were going spend a month here. [We] realized it was a place we liked, we liked the people, I liked the school for the kids. They're very diverse. I liked the other parents. I feel very comfortable with them. We're happy having our children here. Brad is working on rebuilding here.... But for me, just as a mom, I love the other parents and the kids and the schools. I'm starting to work on the education here and the school system here. There's a lot of work to be done.

Partner Angie has her hands full too with two cups of coffee — while adopted daughter Zahara munches away on crisps.

Film hunk Brad, 43, pushed Zahara, two, and nine-month-old baby SHILOH during a family stroll near their £2million home in New Orleans.

Brad & Angie Get into the NOLA Spirit!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting into the spirit of their new hometown, New Orleans.

The stars dined with two other couples at Arnaud's Friday night in the French Quarter, where many were celebrating Mardi Gras early.

"Bourbon St. was packed that night, and when Brad and Angelina were trying to leave, they kept getting mobbed by all the people."

"One of the bodyguards came upstairs and asked us if they could have some beads and masks so they could get back home without getting noticed."

It must be fun to live in a place where you have to go out in beads and masks to be normal!

Are Brad & Angie already Married?

Could Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have already tied the knot? Rumor has it they have! The two reportedly got hitched in order to honor Jolie’s mother’s dying wish. Insiders say that Angelina and Brad exchanged vows while on holiday in Costa Rica.

Her mother reportedly pleaded, "You marry that man. He's an angel sent to look after you."

"They stood in the sand in their bare feet, looked into each other's eyes and promised to love each other for ever, and to be loving with their children for just as long," a friend reveals.

Angelina Jolie's Mother Dies

Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, died on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Jolie said in a statement to the Associated Press. The 56-year-old Bertrand, who battled cancer for over seven-and-a-half years, was surrounded by her children, Angelina and son James Haven, as well as Jolie's partner, Brad Pitt. "Marcheline was beautiful, caring and totally devoted to her children. I never saw her upset or sad, even after she was diagnosed with cancer," Lea Hunter, who once dated Haven, tells PEOPLE. "She always treated me like a member of her family." Bertrand, who had small roles in movies including 1983's The Man Who Loved Women, raised Jolie and brother Haven by herself after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler. When granddaughter Shiloh was born in May, Bertrand told PEOPLE: "My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina's third child. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way." A private funeral is planned, and the family requests that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
