Us Weekly gave a few details about Angelina Jolie’s newest adoption. The mag claimed the three year old boy was hesitant to meet his new family, but Angelina and older son Maddox did their best to comfort him.
According to Reuters, Jolie arrived at the Tam Bihn orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City with her 5-year-old son Maddox and the pair were greeted by roughly 20 children dressed in traditional Vietnamese tunics, and offering flowers.
Before leaving with her new son, Pax Thien Jolie, the actress left a message in the orphanage visitor’s book.
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son,” she wrote. “He has been with you for years. I’m sure he will miss your beautiful caring staff as much as you will miss him.”
The three-and-a-half-year-old boy was known at the orphanage as Pham Quang Sang before Jolie renamed him.
According to the orphanage’s director, Nguyen Van Trung, “He’s the smartest and cleverest among the kids.”
“I was a bit worried in the morning,” Trung admitted to Us. “When Sang saw Jolie and two of her big bodyguards, he moved back and cried. Jolie kneeled down and gradually went closer to him. It took about 20 minutes for her to reach him.”
He added that “after Jolie made acquaintance with him, he cheered up and trusted her right away.”
Maddox also attempted to soothe the child by holding his hand. Trung says that while Sang was crying as he was carried into the car, having Maddox on hand was a relief.
“It’s lucky to have the presence of her other son [Maddox] who was very friendly to Sang,” Trung tells Us.
Aww, that’s really sweet. The family is expected to arrive back in the US by the weekend.
Britney Spears reportedly has a new addiction, and it is gonna make her as bloated as all hell. According to Star magazine, homegirl has been downing 24 cans of Coca-Cola per day while in rehab. And apparently all that caffeine hasn’t done much to improve her attitude.
“Britney has a seriously bad attitude problem,” an “insider” tells Star. “She’s been very demanding; acts like a 12-year-old and throws temper tantrums when she doesn’t get what she wants!
“She refuses to pick up after herself and even asked if she could hire a maid!” adds the source. “She’s asking for this and that, special food, special everything … and she’s not that nice to anyone.”
It’s likely that Spears is acting out, reports that mag, because she feels she doesn’t belong in rehab in the first place.
“I heard she keeps saying she is just sick from postpartum depression and that she does not have any real addiction problem, which is a joke,” the source tells the mag. “She has an addiction.”
I bet living with her is like living with fucking Pig Pen from the Peanuts Gang.
A publishing company bought the hand-written journals of Pete Doherty, and plan to publish them for release on May 30th. The journals originally composed 20 volumes of ramblings, poerty, and artwork made out of his own blood.
”Poet, young and busy, seeks cheap spacious rooms somewhere. Excellent references available . . .” so reads a self-penned ad, a very early entry from Pete Doherty’s journals. From the early books a fascinating and very entertaining picture emerges of the young poet, broke in London, serving popcorn at the Prince Charles Cinema, ruminating on Britpop, listening to Scott Walker, but dreaming of creating a band infused with ‘the spirit of Albion’. The later books reflect Pete’s rise to fame, his changing world and are full of artwork, photographs, notes and thoughts. It is intimate, honest stuff, very readable and very funny in places; pretty dark in others. All in all it’s the work of a serious artist, a complete antidote to most things written about Doherty.
These twenty-odd books — edited and condensed into one volume — are filled with poems, drawings, personal reflections, lyrics and collages, and form an intimate insight into the one of the music world’s most talented and controversial figures.
Pete’s driver held up one of the nasty-ass journals for photographers recently. Homeboy should have worn rubber gloves.
According to homies of Nicole Richie, the starlet has been abusing drugs again. Although she was previously treated for using heroin, this time she’s moved on to a more pedestrian drug: Adderall.
Insiders say Nicole has been using Adderall - a prescription drug normally used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and is a powerful appetite suppressant. “She loves Adderall because she stays awake, and it makes her not want to eat,” says a close pal. “And she takes it even more when she’s filming.”
Although her rep denies that she uses the drug, a pal says Nicole’s actually increased her dosage: “She’s taking more and more lately.”
Well, it’s hard to maintain that boyish figure of hers. Get your crackhead on, girl–don’t listen to those “haters” and “doctors.”
Britney Spears sure seems to have a problem hooking up with dudes who can’t keep their trap shut. Less than a day after news broke of a possible romance, Brit’s new hook up, Jason Filyaw, confirmed that he and the rehabing pop star are “growing very close.”
In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Filyaw, self-described as “very spiritual,” would neither confirm nor deny that he is dating Spears, but admitted, “I love her, I support her 100% and we are close.” Filyaw, who’s been attending AA meetings with Spears, also revealed that he is helping Britney with the spiritually “deep” part of her recovery.
The 33-year-old lead guitarist for the rock band RIVA says he met Spears long before she checked into Promises Rehab Center, and that they go “way back” to 2003, when he recorded some music with Britney at The Hit Factory in New York. Filyaw claims they stayed in touch, but “a few weeks ago … we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting.”
Sounds to me like homeboy wants some publicity for his shitty little band.
