Angelina & James to Share Insurance Money


The will of Marcheline Bertrand, mother to Angelina Jolie and James Haven, has been made public. Angelina and her brother are to split the $1.2 million life insurance policy. In an attachment that she wrote in her own handwriting, Marcheline says that her ex-husband, Jon Voight, still owes her $180,000 in spousal support. She also left $100,000 each to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.

Angelina: Orphan Expert




Angelina Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, has only been dead for two months, but already Angie and her brother James Haven are orphan experts. James has said that even though their father, Jon Voight, is still alive, they consider themselves orphans since their mothers death.



"There were times when our father was awesome, but my biggest memory is that he would look more at our faults than to our strengths, and that's what was so hard. Now that our mother has died, we're two orphans, Angie and I, so she has a deep understanding of the orphans she adopts."
HA! What? Let me get this straight: Jolie is worth more money than I can count, has at least 2 homes, body guards, personal trainers, cooks, maids, fabulous clothes and had a mother up until 2 months ago and the 'orphans' she has adopted have....um....nothing. Yup. Ok, got it. They are the same!

Matt Damon In Awe of Angelina Jolie


Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie stared together in "The Good Shepard", a movie about the birth of the CIA, and Matt cannot speak highly enough of Angelina and her acting skills. He also talks about the constant presence of the paparazzi where ever Angelina went during the filming of the movie.
"There was just that whole thing that would occur when she would come to work, which was, you know, suddenly 50 photographers would be standing where we were shooting and there were swarms of people around and all this interest,'' co-star Matt Damon said. "But as much craziness as surrounds her and surrounds Brad (Pitt) and their life, she was there to absolutely focus on work. "If you'd walked in and asked: 'Which one of these people is surrounded by photographers everywhere they go?' you would never point to her - except for the fact she's so beautiful.'' Damon, the star of the movie franchise spun off from Robert Ludlum's Bourne series of novels, and an Academy Award-winning writer for Good Will Hunting is obviously in awe of Jolie's ability to shake off the constant attention directed at her and concentrate on her day job - acting. "Once we'd get inside the armoury and it was quiet and we were just doing our work, I realised why she's Angelina Jolie,'' Damon said. "It's like there's this whole celebrity side of her, this whole kind of image that other people have created, and then there's who she really is. And first and foremost she's an incredible actor."
As we as we mentioned yesterday Brad Pitt has been having a difficult time with the paparazzi this week, and Angelina has totally been out of the public eye since her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died last weekend. On one hand I think that these actors who court the media in the early days of their career and then resent them when they make it big, don't really have a leg to stand on, but where do we draw the line? Shouldn't Angelina Jolie be able to make funeral arrangements and whatever else she needs to do, without being hounded by photographers? It's a difficult question and one there is no answer to, especially when secretly we all really want to know what's going on in their private lives.

Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand passed away on Saturday after a long struggle with cancer.

US Weekly Magazine is reporting that Marcheline felt that Angelina was finally in a stable relationship with Brad Pitt, which made her very happy.


That afternoon, Jolie, 31, and Pitt, 43, arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to be with Bertrand, 56, during her last hours. “Everybody cried,” says a Jolie friend. “Marcheline told Angelina and Brad that she loved them. It was incredibly emotional.” Bertrand herself had grown quite fond of Pitt – especially after seeing her daughter date (and, in two cases, marry) the wrong men.“Marcheline approved of their relationship completely,” says a source. “And Brad loved her.”
