The hot couple Jolie and Pitt are reported to be expecting twins to add to their large family.

According to X17 Online, hot mama Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins. Brad Pitt and Jolie already have four children. Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, were all adopted from foreign countries. Shiloh, 1, is Jolie and Pitt’s biological child. The expectation of twins adds to this couple’s eccentric family unit.

Jolie, 32, recently starred in the movie A Mighty Heart (2007), and although her performance was praised by critics and fans, the actress did not receive an Oscar nomination for the role.

She has also recently been talked about because of her noticeable weight loss. She stated the drop in weight was due to emotional stress.

Brad Pitt, 44, has said that he and Angelina may have anywhere between seven and nine children in total.

The hot couple was recently seen around the town of Los Angeles for Monday night’s Critics’ Choice Awards. Jolie was nominated for the Critics’ Choice Award for best actress for her role in A Mighty Heart (2007).

How wonderful it is that the very brief talent Heath Ledger shared with the world will live on long after we all move off this mortal coil.

You only need to watch this Brokeback Mountain (Two-Disc Collector’s Edition) (2005) to see what talent he had.

His performance as the brooding and distant Ennis Del Marr in this movie is nothing short of brilliant. He should have won the Academy Award instead of Phillip Seymor Hoffman but that’s history now. We can only now think of what might have been in the years ahead.

For people who have not seen the Brokeback Mountain (Two-Disc Collector’s Edition) (2005) , I would like to point out as I’m sure many other reviewers before me have said,it is not a “gay” cowboy movie.

The two men in this movie fall in love with each other in the purest form that the word can ever mean. We all wish for a love so deep and meaningfull and some of us are lucky enough to find it once or twice in our lives.

If you take anything from this cheap DVD: Brokeback Mountain it is a new definition of the meaning of love and life and how short our time on Earth is.

Essential viewing!

The grieving family of the Hollywood actor Heath Ledger said today: “Our hearts are broken.”

Death notices published in an Australian newspaper paid tribute to the Brokeback Mountain star, who was found dead on Tuesday.

“How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? You were the most individual old soul in a young man’s body,” the family wrote. “You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing and, through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination.

“Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken.” Matilda is Ledger’s two-year-old daughter with actress Michelle Williams.

The star’s sister, Kate, said her life had been “torn apart” by the tragedy.

“I can hardly breathe when I try to write this. We were the ultimate in soul mates. I feel both my heart and life have been torn apart,” she said.

“I loved our special talks, our daily chats from wherever you were in the world. I especially loved all the precious time we spent together. We were so fortunate to have you as long as we did.

“You were so many things to so many people, but to me you were just my little brother. There will never, ever be another ‘Heath’ and I think that, in itself, is the greatest tragedy.

“I will continue to talk with you everyday and love you just as if you were here.”

His mother, Sally, wrote to her “darling boy”: “You knew you were so loved. You lived life with courage and daring and we are so grateful for the wonderful times we shared. We will be there for Matilda.”

And his father, Kim, said: “No more chess games, mate… this is it. Couldn’t beat you anyway!

“My body aches for the sound of your voice, our chats, our laughs and our life and times together.”

The British director Terry Gilliam has suspended work on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the film on which Ledger was working before his death.

In a statement, the film-maker said: “Heath was a great actor, a great friend and a great spirit. We are still in a state of deep shock, saddened and numb with grief.

“Over the coming days, Terry and the producers will be assessing how best to proceed.”

Ledger worked on the film in London last week before flying back to the US on Sunday.

He was found dead in his New York apartment two days later. Police believe his death was drug-related and six types of prescription pills were found close to his body.

At the age of just 26, most people would think themselves to be in the prime of life. But hot mama Britney Spears, it seems, may already be in her twilight years.

With her personal life in meltdown, her mental health in decline, and her potential for longevity compromised by dangerous dalliances with drugs and alcohol, the singer has qualified for an early obituary by the Associated Press, the world’s oldest and largest news-gathering organisation.

While pre-prepared obituaries are common media practice, allowing for swift publication in the event of a prominent figure’s demise, the AP’s admission yesterday that it has added the still-youthful pop princess to its death files has cast her woes in a sobering new light.

They are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time. Britney seems at risk right now.

Oldies such as Fidel Castro, 81, Pope Benedict, 80, Nelson Mandela, 89, and the Queen, 81, are among those at the forefront of most news media’s death-files, along with other prominent, but younger, world figures considered at risk of an early exit, such as the US president George Bush.

AP holds about 1,000 prepared obituaries, the majority of them on personalities aged over 70, but admits that a smattering of under-30s are in there too.

This Desperate Housewives – The Complete Third Season (2006) retains the fun-yet-creepy plot-driven spirit of the earlier seasons.

The girls continue to find themselves in completely unlikely situations; the loose ends of old plot lines are tied up even as intriguing new developments emerge; and the cast looks fabulous. Particularly outstanding is the episode entitled “Bang”–great acting, great writing, and you really wonder how it’s going to turn out. Suspense, desperation, desire, bad decisions, frailty, greed, lust, secrets, feminine wiles, revenge — it’s all here in.

If you love Desperate Housewives, this Desperate Housewives – The Complete Third Season (2006) is a must-have. Personally, I can’t wait for Season 4. I mean, what’s going to happen to Edie…what is Bree thinking…will Susan really be happy…will Gabrielle stray again…how will Lynette continue…I’d be spoiling it if I were more explicit!

I know I’m no different than any other 40-something housewife living on bon-bons and pop culture. But don’t give me Britney or any teeny-bopper messiness; I had enough of my own teenage angst, thank you. Just don’t mess with my TV shows — “Brothers and Sisters,” “Boston Legal” and “Desperate Housewives.”

When I heard a striking writer say on CNN that fans would be very disappointed with the last episode of “Desperate Housewives,” my throat got tight — I hate cliffhangers. (”The Sopranos” nearly killed me at the end of every season. When I got withdrawal, I’d order the season on cheap DVD to tide me over to the next year. And let’s not even discuss how distraught they left me with the final episode.)

But I must tell you that I found the last written episode of “Desperate Housewives” better than a season finale. Call me sentimental, but I like my ends tied up in sweet little bows.

I loved the scene where Lynnette is about to scatter ashes in the baseball field with Mrs. McCluskey (what a fine actress), who recited a poem so within her character and so intimate I felt I was watching a Broadway drama. The fact that this tragedy turned into an opportunity for these two women to finally get down to a beer in a pub was very satisfying.

Also, Brie and Susan have come to a deeper, closer relationship. I can even envision Gabby rising to the occasion and sticking by her man despite his new disability (whose sight I feel will be restored as a reward for Gabby’s inner growth).

Yes, indeed, life on Wisteria Lane seems fine to me.

Now, about that strike … I understand why the writers would want to be paid for any use of their work. After all, if I write a novel, I stand to gain from any usage of my writing. Whether it’s European printing rights or a movie option, I would be paid for their right to use my writing in any form.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that the TV writers may be less likely to get what they want. (You know you can’t always get what you want.) Because like musicians, who have been notoriously ripped off by recording companies since the beginning of the industry, copyright law would need to be rewritten for them to see any changes.

I wish them luck, because I feel that artists should gain the most from their work, but that’s the world I’d like to live in. We’re living in Wisteria Lane, where bad things happen to good and bad alike.

The troubled life of hot mama Britney Spears added a new chapter when the intoxicated pop star was whisked away in an ambulance after police were called to her house to help end a nearly three-hour custody standoff involving her young sons.

The 26-year-old pop star was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Spears appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance.

Spears was conscious late Thursday when paramedics took her out of her home in a gurney. Several police cars escorted the ambulance out of the neighborhood, followed by dozens of paparazzi.

Officers were called to Spears’ house around 8 p.m. to respond to the custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline over their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James.

By about 10:30 p.m., six police cars, two ambulances and a fire truck had entered the gated-community that includes Spears’ house. Several police cars were seen in the area earlier in the night.

Spears turned over the children around 10:50 p.m.

Spears and Federline have been involved in a long and very public custody battle. Federline has temporary custody of the children because Spears, who has limited visitation rights, has defied court orders. The two were married in October 2004 and divorced in July.

Spears has appeared increasingly out of control during the past year. She has been photographed without underwear and appeared to be drunk and out-of-control. She shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella and spent a month in rehab and has had a handful of fender benders, including one in which she ran over a photographer’s foot.
