Angelina Jolie Says Her Kids Are "Part Agent, Part Manager"

Posted on Fri May 6th, 2011 9:14am PDT       By X17 Staff

Jolie230.jpgAngelina Jolie reprises her role as Tigress in Kung Fu Panda 2, the sequel to the 2008 film. But this time around, her brood of kids are old enough to be more critics than viewers.

"They'll sit in a room and say, 'That's just not funny,'" Jolie tells USA Today. "They know when Mommy's funny and when Mommy's not funny."

Angie and partner Brad always travel with their kids, bringing them to set, and this movie was no different. Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 4, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2, were always on set, Jolie says; they became "part agents, part managers."

    "We've got kids of all ages. So we joked that we had our own focus group."


Jolie says having her kids around pushes her to be better.

    "When they're there and they hear you making kung fu sounds and jumping around, you can see them giggling through the glass. It makes you go that much further."


    "If you look at your own children, you want to do something you know will be better than the first one. You want to make sure it's what they want — and that you're good enough."


Unfortunately, the Jolie-Pitt clan thinks Po the panda is much cooler than Mommy's character.

    "I tell them, 'I know you like Po. But come on. Mom's cool too, right?'"


The kids may be happy to joke, but Jolie-Pitt says the movie brings up some serious issues that she worried about discussing with her children. See what the issues were after the jump.

ncage050611.jpgNic Cage just got a lucky break!

The actor will not be charged for allegedly attacking his wife during a drunken argument in New Orleans last month, because the New Orleans District Attorney's Office investigators did not have enough evidence to go forward.

Cage's attorney Harry Rosenberg said in a statement: "We are pleased that the process led to the correct result, despite inaccurate media reports, and that Nick has been cleared and all charges have been dropped."

Cage was arrested on April 16 and charged with domestic abuse and disturbing the peace, after having a very heated argument in the French Quarter with wife Alice Kim, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

Cage was allegedly highly intoxicated as he grabbed Kim in a violent manner, and couldn't remember where he lived when police arrived on the scene.

Bar Rafaeli Poses Topless For GQ's May War-Themed Mag

Posted on Fri May 6th, 2011 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff



Bar Rafaeli skipped out on her chance to wear a real military uniform, but she's totally fine with modeling a fake one!

The sexy Israeli-born model (and girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio) took it almost all off for GQ's May war-themed mag, which is a bit ironic considering her history with the Israeli Defense Forces.

Once an Israeli man/woman reach 18, they must serve in active duty for their country. Bar however, ditched the draft all together by getting married to an acquaintance, as soon as she hit 18. The model has since divorced the guy, but she has no regrets for ditching the service.

Rafaeli recently told Jewish news site ynet.com, "That's just the way it is, celebrities have other needs. I hope my case has influenced the army. Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn't it better to live in New York?"

It's definitely better to live in New York.
