Angelina Jolie says Brad Pitt has had to become tougher on their children.
The Oscar-winning actress raises six children with the actor - Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - and while she has always been the stricter parent in the past, Brad has now had to be more involved with the discipline.
"I used to be the tougher parent but since the birth of the twins, Brad's had to play bad cop more often. It also depends on which of the children we are talking about. Brad has always had this incredible bond with Mad, who's very smart, and Brad loves teaching him about history and art and culture - it's an amazing thing to watch them together. I think I'm a little closer to the girls, maybe, but he's always making them laugh. The children are usually very well-behaved though."

Justin Bieber wants to be a young dad.
The "Baby" hitmaker - who is dating Selena Gomez - turned 18 yesterday, but is already looking to the future and says he hopes to have children before he turns 30.
"I see myself in 10 years having a family. Twenty-eight, that's a good time to really have a family because I want to be a young dad. Maybe, [it's a] long time away though. Don't get any ideas, people. It's not happening anytime soon."
Justin also revealed he is looking forward to more independence now he has turned 18, but says his mother Pattie Mallette will not be too pleased with that: "Eighteen requires a lot of responsibilities; moving out requires me to be alone, without my parents. So, legally, I can make any decision I want. My mom's still going to be there, probably, calling me every day. Probably won't be able to get away from her for too long. Eighteen is going to be fun. I look forward to a lot of touring and a lot of spending time with my fans, so 18 is going to be a great year."
Sandra Bullock is suing a watch company.
The 47-year-old actress has filed a lawsuit in Santa Monica, California, against ToyWatch USA for using her name to promote a diamond-encrusted white-band watch - and she alleges it is being advertised as the same gadget she wore in her Oscar-winning role in 2009 movie The Blind Side.
Sandra also claims her publicity rights have been infringed as a result, and she's asking a California judge for financial compensation, as well as an injunction, according to The Hollywood Reporter. According to the lawsuit, which has been obtained by the website, Sandra "will not voluntarily appear in print or other media for a company or product unless she carefully selects and believes in the company and product, and unless the compensation she receives is commensurate with the value of the exploitation of her name, image, identity, and persona."
The brunette beauty also says her name has a substantial commercial value, and details her credits in the documents. But she is not said to be asserting any claims on false advertising under the Lanham Act or trademark infringement, as some stars have done in similar cases in the past.
Kim, Kourtney, Khloe Kardashian Hit With $5 Million Lawsuit
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have been hit with a $5 million lawsuit.
The sisters are among those named in a class action suit filed in Manhattan, New York by a group of disgruntled customers, who claim diet pills QuickTrim, which are endorsed by the Keeping up with the Kardashians stars, don't live up to their weight-loss claims.
"In reality, QuickTrim's main ingredient is a large dose of caffeine, which the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] has determined is not a safe or effective treatment for weight control," the lawsuit reads, according to the New York Post.
The group claim they would have not bought the products if they were aware of this. The federal court filing adds that QuickTrim is "marketed by the defendants as a clinically proven formula that will increase metabolism, curb appetite and promote weight loss." The lawsuit also claims that a number of advertisements for the QuickTrim weight-loss pills feature the Kardashian sisters in "in a bikini or other revealing attire."

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have named their newborn son Samuel.
The couple - who also have two daughters, six-year-old Violet and three-year-old Seraphina - welcomed their "healthy" third child on Monday in Santa Monica, California.
"We are happy to announce on February 27, Jennifer gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Samuel Garner Affleck," Ben wrote on his Facebook page.
The 39-year-old actress - who has been married to the 39-year-old star since June 2005 - recently revealed the pair's daughters had been thinking of possible Disney-related names to call their newborn child: "Our girls are working on names. At first they were definitely Disney. It was like, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse Affleck. And then they've moved on. Then it was Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Smee."

The Monkees singer Davy Jones has died, aged 66.
The lead singer of the "Daydream Believer" group - which also consists of original members Micky Dolenz, 66, and 70-year-old Peter Tork - passed away from a heart attack earlier today, a representative confirmed to TMZ.com. An official from the medical examiner's office for Martin County, Florida, told the website they received a phone call from the Martin Memorial Hospital informing them that Davy had died.
Davy leaves behind four daughters, Talia Elizabeth, 43, and Sarah Lee, 40 from his marriage to Linda Haines, and Jessica Lillian, 30, and 23-year-old Annabel Charlotte from his marriage to Anita Pollinger. The pop icon - who was born in Manchester, North West England - married 33-year-old TV presenter Jessica Pacheo - who he met in 2006 - in August 2009.
In May 2011, the singer said he was having some of the happiest times he's ever had in his life with Jessica: "We have love. We have friendship. She's also aware of what I've done in music, and the fact that I no longer really need to prove anything."

George Clooney: I don’t Care People Think I’m Gay
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Rumors,
George Clooney "doesn't give a s**t" if people think he is gay.
The Descendants star - who is currently dating ex-wrestler Stacy Keibler - is "very happy" with his private life and laughs it off when people say he's homosexual, but he would never get angry about the rumors for fear of giving an impression that there's something wrong with being gay.
"I think it's funny, but the last thing you'll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, 'These are lies!' That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community. I'm not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I'm very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I'm gay? I'll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don't give a s**t."
The 50-year-old actor believes one day people will be "embarrassed" to have been against marriage equality because it will seem "archaic" in the next generation:

Reese Witherspoon feels "a lot sexier" than she ever has.
The 35-year-old actress - who married Hollywood agent Jim Toth last year - doesn't think she looks "so bad" these days and has learned to respect herself more as she has gotten older.
"I feel much better about myself, actually. When you get older you start to have respect for yourself and value certain things and choices you've made in your life that have given you strength. I'm much more comfortable with who I am and I'm even thinking that I don't look so bad. I feel a lot sexier these days than I ever have."
Despite feeling good about herself, Reese - who has children Ava, 12, and eight-year-old Deacon from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe - finds dating "nerve-wracking," but she is unsure why: "I find dating nerve-wracking, and, really, I don't know why. I pretty much went from being married and then I was married again, so I didn't really date much."
