Angelina Jolie

And she's talking about her family in next month's issue.

Below are excerpts from the cover story Angelina Jolie gave to Vogue, in which The Good Sheperd star opens up about everything from marriage to a certain gal named Jen.

On Brad Pitt:
"Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from ... the media. I am just as guilty! We push each other to be better. Even if it's just a better bike rider or a better pilot. We're constantly in competition with each other. He's somebody I admire based on the way he lives his life. And that's why I'm with him. [He is] the person closest to me."

On their relationship:
"[We] found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened [on the set of their Mr. & Mrs. Smith]. I think a few months in I realized, God, I can't wait to get to work. Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. Life developed in a way where we could be together, and where it felt like something we would do, we should do.

On marriage:
"We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing."

On Jennifer Aniston:
"We've, like, passed each other and said 'hi' briefly, shook hands. But not a real sit-down-and-talk kind of meeting."

On Shiloh:
"The day Shiloh came home...we looked around at three sleeping children and each other and thought, My God! Here we are! This is amazing! Couldn't be happier! But ...wow. We can't even figure out how to get them all in the car."

We're not sure, Ang. But here's one piece of advice: don't let Nicole Richie drive it.

For the record: Ellen Pompeo really is getting married to Chris Ivery.

We make this point because sometimes marriages are arranged between wax figures, not human beings. Such was the case between the amazing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The faux pair were going to be married Wednesday during a wedding at Madame Tussaud's Museum of Wax in Las Vegas. Seriously. However, reps for Brangelina called the absurd stunt off.

While the actual couple was visiting orphanages in India, Pitt's rep, Cindy Guagenti, said:

"I personally found it a little odd that they were re-creating a wedding that never really happened."

Gee, think so? Meanwhile, the wax George Clooney was slated to be the best man, while witnesses and guests would've included Liberace, John Wayne, and Ben Affleck - the fake ones, we assume.

Anyway. We're glad the wedding didn't happen. It wouldn't been heart-breaking when the fake Pitt had an affair with the wax Abbie Cornish.

As Brangelina deals with threats from America's enemy, one half of this gorgeous duo is proving that nothing will stop her from helping those less fortunate.

Indeed, Angelina Jolie took a break from shooting her latest film, A Mighty Heart, and spent Saturday touring an Afghan Sikh refugee camp in New Delhi.

Jolie, a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, took five-year-old son Maddox along as she visited refugees, listened as they played religious music, and chatted with students.

Roughly 9,500 Afghan Sikh fled Afghanistan for India after the Taliban seized power in 1996 and targeted non-Muslims.

The wife of Brad Pitt sat in a one-room home where a refugee from Myanmar lives with her three children. The woman, one of the 1,750 refugees who have fled Myanmar to India since 1982, told Jolie that she and her children left after her husband was arrested by the military government in Myanmar.

"I am grateful to the refugee families who spent time with me and shared their stories. They are remarkable, courageous people," Jolie said in a statement released by the UNHCR.

On Sunday, Jolie met with Indian Junior External Affairs Minister Anand Sharma and praised India's efforts to assist the refugees.

"The wonderful thing that I have learned since I have been in India is there are many, many needs for your own people and yet you have all been so gracious and been so open to so many refugees over the years," the actress told reporters.

Oprah Winfrey and Bono couldn't be prouder, we're sure.

Lindsay Lohan, you better get over to Iraq quickly. Maybe the enemy will put you in its sights instead.

Right now, reports state that al-Qaeda is threating a far more beautiful and charitable target: Brangelina.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been shooting the film A Mighty Heart, based on the life of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed at the hands of al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan in 2002. Evidently, terrorist losers dont 't like that.

British security experts were flown to Pune earlier this week, after being alerted by neigbouring Pakistan that the couple might be targeted due to the political nature of the film.

After assessing the inputs on from various intelligence agencies, India has provided the couple with Y category security while in Pune, Intelligence Bureau sources said in New Delhi on Thursday. That's a lot tighter security than Laguna Beach sluts place on their special areas.

In the movie, Jolie plays the role of Mariane, the widow of Pearl, who was working on a story on Islamic militancy at the time he was kidnapped. Actor Dan Futtermann will play the role of Daniel. Pitt, 43, makes a cameo in the film.

The Hollywood Gossip obviously wishes safe working conditions for everyone on set. We'd be willing to ship over Whitney Houston if it would distract Osama bin Laden from homicidal rage.

Seriously. How can anyone not love Brad Pitt. The guy is just so good looking, it's almost like he could turn a straight man... Oh wait. Right. We're talking about Brad Pitt's cute daughter here, not the Ocean's 11/12/13 star. Our bad.

Check out baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (below). She was recently spotted with her mama, Angelina Jolie, in public -- and man, is she a little cutie. So is Shiloh! Oh!

Team Brangelina is not only trying to save the world, but looking awesome at the same time. That's how it ought to be, really. Making this planet a better place, a little bit at a time, and looking a heck of a lot better in doing so than any Sutton Pierce Federline pictures.

Go ahead and be deemed influential, Kate Moss.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will settle for being charitable.

The couple has made a $100,000 donation to the Daniel Pearl Foundation in memory of the American journalist who was kidnapped and eventually killed in Pakistan in February of 2002.

The gift, made through the recently formed Jolie-Pitt Foundation, was presented on Tuesday, which would have been the late Wall Street Journal reporter's 43rd birthday.

"On this day our thoughts go out to Danny's family," Pitt and Jolie said in an exclusive statement released by their rep, Trevor Neilson, to People magazine. "The Daniel Pearl Foundation is celebrating this day, his birthday, with music festivals around the world. The festivals are a great reminder of not just Danny's work as a journalist but of his life and his love of music."

Pitt and Jolie arrived last week in Pune, India, to film the Pearl biopic, A Mighty Heart, based on the book written by the journalist's widow, Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie portrays in the film.

At the time of his death, Pearl was investigating links between the terrorist group Al Qaeda and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.

We hope other celebrities follow the lead of Brangelina and donate funds to the cause; they would be far better used than your waste of talent, Lindsay Lohan.

As Brangelina focuses on charitable causes, let's hope the couple doesn't lose sight of another important cause:

Their marriage -- err, their unholy, live-in relationship between hot man and woman.

What would threaten such a pretty paradise? Reports that Brad Pitt wants another child ... NOW! Rumors are circulating that Pitt wants to impregnante his girlfriend again soon.

"Brad wants another child, preferably a boy â€" but he wants a biological boy," said a Page Six source. "He is adamant and wants her to get pregnant again right away."

Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, isn't anxious to fire up her baby maker at the moment.

The actress would consider adopting once more, but is also on schedule for a hectic working year, with at least three films on tap.

Right now, the Brangelina brood conists of two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and one biological kid, Shiloh Nouvel.

Goodbye, Tomb Raider. Hello, Oscar?

In between flying lessons, it appears as though Angelina Jolie has sworn off mindless, popcorn flick roles for awhile. Lara Croft may be history forever for this actress.

The latest, serious role for Jolie is the lead in Ayn Rand's iconic novel "Atlas Shrugged" for Lions Gate Films. Fortunately, she didn't steal this part from Jennifer Aniston. In the movie, Shiloh's mom will take on the challenging, conflicted character of railroad executive Dagny Taggart in the Rand adaptation, a film that other producers have tried to bring to the big screen for years.

Other weighty roles Jolie will be taking on certainly do not include Kate Bosworth. HA!

But she'll be in Robert DeNiro's The Good Shepherd this winter. As for something that Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh can watch their mommy, there's always the cartoon Kung Fu Panda in which Jolie has a voice-over role.

Meanwhile, Brangelina has created a new charitable foundation that will aid humanitarian causes around the globe. It will first donate $2 million â€" half to Global Action for Children and the other half to Doctors Without Borders.

Proud parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are fed up. At world hunger and abject poverty, sure. But also at the results of our exclusive new celebrity baby POLL! Their lovely young child has not jumped out to the commanding cuteness lead many oddsmakers expected!

With all the commotion made over the Suri Cruise mystery and with a hyper-fertile Britney Spears cranking out two kids in just under a year, Brangelina is feeling all but forgotten about. And they're not gonna stand for it.

The couple took the time to submit a few pics of baby Shiloh to us, and even threw in a bonus pic of Zahara in order to further make their case. No Maddox, though -- we already talked about that little dude this week. See below:

NOTE: They didn't really send these pics, we found them on the Internets.

You can't blame Maddox Jolie-Pitt for often feeling left out. The tyke is considered the cutest celebrity baby out there, yet all he hears about is his sister, Shiloh.

Or that Scientology spawn, Suri Cruise.

And just when that drama calms down, Britney Spears goes ahead and gives birth once more.

Is it any wonder that little Maddox feels bitter and betrayed? He's obviously trying to ditch the spotlight of Hollywood in exchange for the glory of the soccer field. Just take a look at him here, trying to bend it like David Beckham.

Let's see Shiloh do this!
