Lets Get This Party Started
Deflated Angelina Checks Out

Angelina is finally heading home.

After checking into the hospital on July 2nd and delivering Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline via c-section last weekend, the mother of six left the hospital before sunrise this morning in Nice, France (via Yahoo News).

The latest additions to the growing Jolie-Pitt army reportedly left with mom and got their first taste of the celebrity high life as they were sped away from the hospital in a large van with tinted windows.

A bidding war has erupted for the first pics of the twins, with magazines reportedly offering between $11 and $20 million. Knox and Vivienne have to pose for the pics, but will never see a dime of that cash -- their philanthropic parents are donating the money to charity.

Joe Jonas Just Passes


Between playing concerts to sold out crowds of screaming teen girls and polishing his purity ring, Joe Jonas managed to find some quiet time to study and graduate high school, according to People.

The 18-year-old sent in his final assignment this week and is still waiting for his grades, but feels confident he earned passing marks.

Living the life of a rock star on the road, Joe was forced to take correspondence classes to graduate and did not get one night off to celebrate. He was back on stage with his two brothers performing for another crowd of girls.

Dark Knight -- Green Day



The latest installment of Batman shattered box office records, selling an estimated $18.5 million in ticket sales after the midnight debut on Friday.

Some moviegoers are willing the shell out up to $200 for a ticket to catch the flick during the premiere weekend according to the NY Post.

Fans have favorable reviews for the film and praise the performance of the late Heath Ledger.

Party Favors: Katic Couric Enjoying the Company ... Salma Not Getting Hitched


Her ratings may be in the tank and she can never seem to get the exclusives, but CBS News execs reject reports that speculate chipper Couric will be canned from the news desk after the presidential election. Katie has taken a beating in the press the past few months, but says she has no plans to "part company" with the Tiffany network (via NY Post). ... Salma Hayek always said she never wanted to get married -- and she wasn't kidding.

16. Who cares about BRADGELINA, when was the last time they were ever in a blockbuster?! Mr and Mrs Smith?!

17. Angelina and Bard - Congratulations, blah, blah, blah. Oh and since we all need to be fair - we need to call her children bast@#$% because they are not married. Come on now - be fair. Charity huh? What are the names of the charity, no one ever mentions which charities. AND THEY DO RECEIVE MORE THAN A DIME. They can deduct that from their taxes you stupid idiots at TMZ, which does what??? LOWERS THEIR TAX LIABILITY. - which does what in return???? - LOWERS THE AMOUNT OF TAX THEY HAVE TO PAY.

Congrats to Joe Jonas - I know there a haters out there, but this family are great people.

RIP - Heath Ledger.

Katie Couric and Selma - who cares.

19. happy for brad and his family, on a website they show where the money was donated, some people just love to hate,

Posted at 5:40PM on Jul 19th 2008 by great family

20. Jc your logic makes no sense. Have you seen TDK ? How d you know Ledger's performance isn't Oscar worthy ? When Brandon Lee died why didn't he get an Oscar for The Crow ? What about Chris Farley ? What about Alliyah ? What about Brad Renfro ? Ledger will get an Oscar nom and a possible win because his performance is amazing... anytime he's not on screen you wish he would come back. Also in 2005 The New York times compared Ledger to a young Marlon Brando, was Ledger dead then ? No !!

21. Don't praise Ledger for being so cowardly as to kill himself rather than face life like a real man. He wasted himself and his talent. Nothing to be proud of, don't you know.

22. So many bitter old hags jealous of the beautiful Earth Mother Angelina. Jennifer Anniston is so ugly with that angular face, and she's older than Angelina, about the same age as Brad Pitt, her ex-husband. She's now in her 40's and all she has is paid-for boobs.............LOL.............Brad and Angelina hit the jackpot -- twins, a boy and a girl. Bet they're so beautiful.

23. If Angelina & Brad want to donate their photo money to charity, I say "go for it!" It's a win-win situation. It's money going toward a good cause & they earn half back. Other celebs should take notice. Then maybe we ordinary people won't look at celebs and think of them as money hungry snobs cause at least they would be helping make the world a better place.

Keep talking smack about Angelina! You're making her MORE famous and she and her kids are laughing all the way to the bank!

As for Heath Ledger....if he was still alive, the movie probably would have done about as good as all the other Batman movies. Jack Nicholson was and IS the only Joker in my book. Like someone said above....once you're dead, everyone thinks you're freakin' great!

Salma is one smart woman! She has the baby she longed for, and had her with a very wealthy man. Then she dumps him. She's my new hero!

24. Regarding the allegation that the DRC School in Namibia never received the promised donation: The fact is money was NOT promised to the DRC School. Money was promised to and received by the DRC School Project and Community Center based in Namibia. The DRC School and the DRC School Project and Community Center are two separate and independent organizations. Also, $300, 000 were given to two hospitals to upgrade equipment for the maternity wards. Smaller grants went to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program ($137,935), According to the Acting Secretary General of Namibia’s Red Cross, the donation was paid, as promised, some time ago but “international monetary and tax regulations” had been responsible for the hold up in the delivery.

In 2007, Jolie and Pitt donated $100,000 to build a medical centre in the Sudan. The Duk Lost Boys Clinic will be Duk County's first modern medical facility. In fact, according to the first federal filing for the Jolie Pitt Foundation, the couple put over $8 million into their tax-free instrument. Pitt put in $4,402,317. Jolie donated $4,123,613.Their first years’ donations totaled a whopping 2,367,935. The biggest amounts were $1 million apiece to Doctors Without Borders (International Division) and to Global AIDS Alliance. Other donations included $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation, $100,000 to Global Green USA and to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation; $5,000 each to two orphanages visited by Jolie; and $20,000 to an art park in Los Angeles. And all this is separate from Pitt’s contributions to the Not On Our Watch fund to help Darfur and his work in New Orleans.

This year their foundation recently donated $1 million to children affected by the Iraq war: $500,000 for school supplies and education programs for refugee children in Iraq and $500,000 for American children who either lost a parent deployed in Iraq or have a parent serving in that country. The donations for American children will go to a tutoring initiative at the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program. Jolie has been donating one third of her income to charity for years…

And if you do donate to charlty, you SHOULD get a friggin' tax break. All this info required no extensive research...just a couple of minutes googling.

25. #22, why does a negative comment about AJ always lead to a Jennifer Aniston bashing? What does JA have to do with Brangelina? Maybe people are just sick of hearing about Angelina and her pregnancies and adoptions, etc, etc. She is no Mother Earth. Mother Earth would not have had a whole host of hospital rooms so she could have privacy or being living in a leased $60million dollar estate.

I've said it before--the real heroes and giving people are those who do so without the expectation of a return. Brangelina want the publicity--end of story--they have plenty of money to donate without pimping out their babies. Please, if you want to praise those who truly sacrifice for others place your adoration on the policeman, fireman, teachers, rescue workers, nurses, etc., they deserve it so much more. And most of all our military for their neverending loyalty to our way of life. Without them, Brangelina and others like them wouldn't be getting millions of dollars for pretending to be something or someone they are not.

26. PJ, go see The dark knight. Ledger is far better than Jack. Ledger completely disappears into the role.

And Jake, Ledger did not kill himself. He died from mixing docter prescribed pills.

27. I don't get this "haters" BS. Why don't you guys just look for online fan clubs to visit and stay away from sites like TMZ? Then you can worship to your heart's content.

28. to #25

As a parent of a military person in Afghanstan. THANK YOU SO MUCH. You are so right. These celebrity hogs are just looking for more PR.

Firemen, policemen, military - get paid 1/100th of these celebreties, work 12 hour shifts, and keep signing up for more so that the rest of us can enjoy our secure lifestyles. Everytime Angelina goes somewhere and needs all her escorts, bodyguards and nannies, remember the military. they go into these war zones, ALONE.

29. Seeing The Dark Knight at midnight the other night was totally worth the lost beauty sleep.

30. to Mary and Jen Fan: one has nothing to do with the other. Appreciation for Jolie's humanitarian work does not have anything to do with belittling the military or policemen, etc., so don't confuse the issue. Since early 2001, on behalf of UNHCR, she has been to over 20 countries, most of them still wartorn. She has spent that time in refugee camps, rape camps and amputee camps. These are not glamorous photo ops. She does not travel to these places with body guards, nannies and hairdressers. She usually goes to these places...alone. And pays her own way. Granted, she does not fight on the front lines, but does bear witness to the aftermath of war. It's fine if you do not like her, but don't use our soldiers as excuses for your ill-informed animosity.
