Angelina Jolie Temple in Angkor Temple Complex


A temple has been named in Cambodia after Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.

"It's a 12th century site called Ta Prohm; it is otherwise known as Old Brahma and was initially named Rajavihara or the royal monastery. Now it's popularly called the Angelina Jolie Temple," Imdb.com quoted Rajan Zed, the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, as saying.

"It was said to be the setting for various scenes in the first 'Tomb Raider' film... Local restaurants sell 'Tomb Raider' cocktails and she appears to be the patron saint of Cambodia," he added.

The actress has been urged to help maintain the ancient site.

"I'd urge Angelina Jolie to raise awareness about better preservation of this world heritage as more needs to be done to safeguard the temple complex and its surroundings, save it from vandalism and looting," he said.

Jolie's adopted son Maddox is from Cambodia.

Slim body keeps Angelina away from Workout

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie says she's always been naturally slim and doesn't really need to workout.

"I really don't workout. I've always been kind of slight and I've always loved to run and jump around and be physical, so action roles are not a huge challenge for me. I enjoy them," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

Jolie revealed that during filming the first "Tomb Raider" movie, she was given a special diet plan to make her feel healthier.

"It was such a challenge physically. A special diet also helped me shape my body. I ate steamed sea bass or steamed beef and vegetables and I had no sugar and only drank soy milk.

"I'm all for curves on a woman and feeling sexy. I never felt healthier or stronger than during the filming of this movie," she added.

Pitt accepts me with all my flaws, says Jolie

'Tomb Raider' star Angelina Jolie has insisted that her partner Brad Pitt loves her unconditionally and has accepted her with all her flaws.

The actress raises six children, adopted trio, Maddox, Zahara and Pax, and biological kids Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, with Pitt.

Jolie also insisted she and Pitt always make quality time for each other without their kids to keep the spark in their romance.

"The children certainly tie us together, but a relationship won't hold if it's only about the kids," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted her as saying in an interview with Parade magazine.

She added: "You also must be really interested in each other and have a really, really wonderful, exciting time together. We do. Brad and I love being together. We enjoy it. We need it, and we always find that special time. We stay connected. We talk about it. It's very important."

The 35-year-old star also revealed that the most amazing things about the Hollywood heartthrob 46, is that he loves her unconditionally and accepts all her flaws.

"If Brad and I are strong and happy, then our kids have happy parents, and that's the best thing we can give them... Brad knows me completely, exactly as I am, every part of me. He loves me. The kids love me. They know all my flaws and all my oddities. And they accept them. And so I can feel complete," she said.

Brad Pitt rejects Angelina's marriage proposal

Actor Brad Pitt has reportedly rejected actress Angelina Jolie's marriage proposal. Jolie, who raises six kids with Pitt, is reportedly keen to wed the actor, reports the China Daily.

However, Pitt feels it's too early to take the relationship to the next level and wants to consult couples counsellors before tying the knot.

"Angelina proposed to Brad recently and suggested a Christmas wedding. When Brad insisted they hold off, Angelina put him on a major guilt trip by telling him the kids want them to be married," a source told National Enquirer magazine.

"Brad thinks a wedding right now is biting off more than they can chew. He would like to slow down and go through some couples counselling. But Angelina is insisting they get married before they adopt again or have another biological baby."

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old actress is said to be undergoing fertility treatments in order to conceive a second set of biological twins with Brad, 45.

"Angelina's doctors told her she has a strong chance of conceiving twins if she does it within two years after having her first pair. She has been seeing a fertility doctor regularly. She and Brad are monitoring when she is fertile. And they are trying really hard in the bedroom," a source said.

Angelina concerned about Maddox seeing her Sexy pictures

Angelina Jolie is concerned that her eldest son Maddox, 8, who is now old enough to use the internet, will soon come across sexy pictures of her.

"He will look up my name and see some kind of sexy pictures or read a story about himself that isn't true. There's a lot we're going to have to explain to them about how public their family is," the 33-year-old Changeling star told the New York Times in an interview.

The inevitability notwithstanding, Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are enjoying their parenting experience.

Jolie says she would like to add her film Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) to the list of nearly three dozen movies that her children have seen because "not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love."

"What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool," she added. "Because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad."

"Even video games, you know, it's, 'Mom, you can't play this. You won't know how.' Oh, they all think I can't do anything, that I'm just there to snuggle with. But the other day Madd said, 'Can you do a cartwheel?' And I said, 'Yeah, I can.' And he was like, 'Wow, Mom.' And I thought: 'Oh, yeah. I can do some things. You wait. You'll find out. I'm capable.'"

Jolie reiterated her plans to adopt more children with Pitt.

"I mean, I know we seem crazy, just bringing them in one after the other, but we do plan. We make sure one is absorbed completely into the family before we add another. There are moments when we look at everyone around the dinner table, and it's just crazy, but our family is the greatest thing we've done in our lives."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's celebrate birth of the 'Brangelina' twins

Hollywood’s golden couple now have a golden boy and girl, after the “Brangelina” twins were born in southern France.

The actress Angelina Jolie, 33, had them by Caesarean section at the Lenval hospital on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, with her partner, Brad Pitt, the father of the babies, believed to be at her side.

The girl and boy, named Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, mean that the couple, dubbed “Brangelina” in the media, now have a total of six children.

Exclusive rights to the first photographs of the babies have been sold for $11 million (£6 million) to an unnamed US magazine, reported the newspaper Nice Matin, which broke the news of the birth yesterday. The couple intend to give the money to charity, it said.

After the couple’s first child, Shiloh, was born in Namibia in 2006, worldwide photo rights were sold to People magazine for between $5-7 million.

“The parents and the babies are in excellent health. Everything is fine,” Jolie’s doctor, Michel Sussman, said.

The couple, who first announced their relationship in 2005 after acting together in the film Mr and Mrs Smith, have adopted three children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3 – from Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia, respectively.

Vivienne Marcheline weighed 2.27kg (5lb) and her brother an almost identical 2.28kg, according to Dr Sussman. He believed that the girl may be named after Jolie’s mother, the actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in January 2007 after a 7½-year battle with cancer.

Marcheline Bertrand raised Jolie and her brother, James Haven, after divorcing their father, the actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.

Jolie arrived at the Lenval hospital in late June by helicopter from the Provence villa where she and Pitt had been staying with their other children.

Dr Sussman said that the Caesarean delivery had been planned for a long time but the date was brought forward for medical reasons.

Jolie first confirmed that she was expecting twins during an interview at the Cannes film festival in May. As the world’s paparazzi descended on Nice yesterday, Dr Sussman said that Jolie was expected to remain in the hospital for a few more days.

Before the birth, the Mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, told the Associated Press that the twins would always be considered honorary citizens of the city, regardless of whether they sought French citizenship.

Angelina Jolie never wanted to have children of her own

While she is all set to give birth to twins, Angelina Jolie has admitted that she never really wanted to have biological children at all.

However, the actress claims that it was her love for partner Brad Pitt that made her change her mind.

The 33-year-old star had no maternal desire to have her own children, but wanted to adopt kids from around the world.

But she changed her mind after falling for Pitt after meeting on the set of 2005 movie 'Mr and Mrs Smith'.

"I was dead set on always adopting and it always felt right to me, there were children who needed a home and I had no maternal desire to have children," Contactmusic quoted her, as telling Britain's OK! Magazine.

She added: "But that changes when you meet someone you love and so your family changes in direction. That was my big surprise."

The celebrity couple have three adopted children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, as well as biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

I'm very lucky : Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie, an actress, a mother of four and soon to be six, and involved in many humanitarian efforts all over the world, feels this hectic lifestyle is easier than having a regular career.

The pregnant actress is currently in France with her partner Brad Pitt and is expected to have twins.

Thesun.co.uk reports Jolie saying: 'I'm very, very lucky. A lot of mothers don't have a job where they can just work a few months in a year and then come out for two days for a press conference.

My schedule is very small in comparison when it comes to hours so I can afford to spend as much time as possible with my children.'

The couple just bought a 35 million pound chateau on the French Riviera which comes with a forest, and they make sure one of them is always at home.

She added: 'When I'm working, Brad's home with the children and vice versa. We do have nannies that help us, but nobody spends the night.

We also spend a lot of time completely alone with our children. We've kind of found a balance. And this year I'm taking off completely for the family.'

“Angelina’s having a very hard time, and it’s making her miserable,” a friend revealed to L&S. “She tires out very easily.”

Because of Jolie’s jet-set lifestyle and hectic work schedule, the affects of low-energy catch up with quickly. “It’s taking a toll on her she feels exhausted when it’s time to get up,” the close source explained. “She and Brad tried a special foam-rubber mattress cover, but nothing helped.”

Allegedly, exhaustion isn’t the only problem Jolie’s facing. “Angelina’s been feeling weak,” the pal added.

Jolie, 32, is widely reported to be pregnant with twins. She has three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, as well as a biological daughter, Shiloh, with Pitt, 44.

Angelina Jolie loves filming sex scenes

Angelina Jolie admits that one of her favorite parts of being an actress is filming sex scenes. The 32-year-old mother of four says during sex scenes you can “just enjoy each other” with not strings attached.

“A physical thing is, for some people, like me, very easy. You find something about that person that you love and you enjoy, that you truly embrace and have fun with, and you just enjoy each other,” said Jolie.

“You’re two adults and you enjoy each other and you know that doesn’t mean anything – whatever it was is left there.”

Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt filmed a sex scene in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ and soon after began a relationship and a family. The couple now have a biological daughter and three adopted children.

Earlier this year, Angelina shared a sex scene with Brad's good friend Matt Damon when she played his wife in 'The Good Shepherd'.

Jolie still insisted the scene wasn’t awkward saying, “In reality both people we’re involved with couldn’t have cared less about that because they know us. It’s one of those things where it’s like the least threatening person. You know, ‘Good luck to you guys, I hope it’s not too awkward.”

“The difference between kissing Matt and kissing Brad is simple,” added Jolie. “One’s a friend and the other is my lover.”

Matt said at the time, "Doing a love scene with the girlfriend of a good friend is weird. We all know each other."
