Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at last night?s Berlin premiere of World War Z. I kind of love how Angelina is being all ?ride or die? on Brad?s promotional tour. I wasn?t expecting her to come to EVERY European premiere, but here she is. Maybe she knows that the best way to promote Brad?s project is with some Jolie.
Angelina wore this Ralph & Russo dress. She?s worn Ralph & Russo before ? memorably, one of the last times she was in Berlin, back in 2012 ? I loved that grey gown. I?m not a fan of this particular dress though. Peplums are so 2011!!!! I can?t believe I?m actually seeing Angelina Jolie in a peplum. How does she manage to still look slender and slim-hipped with a peplum? I don?t care for the gaudy gold belt thing, but I kind of dig the button detail at the back. It?s very Duchess Kate ? you know Waity loves her buttons. Angelina often wears dresses with interesting back details, but this is particularly fussy for her, I think. Then there?s the effect of the white dress with her pale legs and white heels? it?s all very ?nurse? to me.
Should we talk about her breasts? I think they look good in this dress, but I?m not entirely positive that we?re really seeing the swell of her new breasts ? look at the angles on this dress. I think the top part might be stiffer and more structured than people think, and Angelina isn?t completely filling it out. Either that or when she got her breasts reconstructed, she went up a size too.
PS? I didn?t even mention Brad. He?s there. And I?m starting to agree with Michael K about his hair ? Brad?s hair HAS gone ?full Aniston?.

Continuing the promotional tour for his upcoming film, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the "World War Z" premiere at Cinestar movie theater at Potsdamer Platz square in Berlin, Germany on Tuesday (June 4).
The "Inglourious Basterds" star sported an all-black ensemble with a leather jacket while his partner looked gorgeous in a strapless white knee-length dress and matching heels.
Though the red carpet might not be her first choice for a birthday celebration, last night, Brad arranged an intimate dinner in Paris.
Reportedly dining alone in the back of the small restaurant, afterwards the two headed to the nearby nightclub Silencio.

Today is Angelina Jolie?s 38th birthday. And she and Brad celebrated early last night with a boozy dinner in Paris, and I guess they?re traveling to Berlin today. Brad?s World War Z premiere schedule is going at a steady clip, isn?t it? I wasn?t expecting the Paris premiere to be one day after the London premiere, and if we?re lucky I guess we?ll get a Berlin premiere tonight? Sure. As for the boozy birthday dinner, Angelina and Brad were wearing the same clothes as the premiere. People Mag has details:
As they would say in France, “Joyeux anniversaire, Angelina!”
Angelina Jolie turns 38 on Tuesday, and she celebrated Monday night with an intimate dinner for two in Paris with fianc Brad Pitt, following the premiere of his film World War Z at the Normandie Theatre.
Pitt, 49, arranged the dinner personally on Monday afternoon, sources tells PEOPLE, choosing the high-end wine restaurant Il Vino, run by Enrico Bernardo, the youngest-ever winner of the World’s Best Sommelier award.
The couple, both in black jackets, dined alone in a back of the intimate neighborhood restaurant, enjoying a degustation ? the restaurant’s tasting menu ? around a medley of French wines, staff members say.
“Their main plate was langoustines with a French wine,” said one. “And there was a dessert ? a cake, because it was her birthday.”
“It was very subtle, real cool,” said one surprised diner, Yen Goel, who was dining with her husband Rajat when the couple arrived.
“They came in very unobtrusively. It was real fast. They walked by, and I said to my husband, ‘I think I just saw Brad and Angelina walk by us.’ And he said, ‘I think you may have had one glass of wine too many already.’ ”
Following the dinner, Pitt and Jolie joined others from their World War Z travel party at Silencio, a nightclub near Montmartre designed by film director David Lynch.
Asked by reporters earlier in the evening, on the red carpet, if this birthday is special ? given his fiance’s double mastectomy earlier this year ? Pitt demurred.
“Every year is special,” he said. “This year isn’t any more special than other years. We’re going to celebrate in the air with the kids because we’re going on to the next city.”
The family heads to Berlin next.

There is one way in which I always hoped Brad and Angelina would be like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: I always wanted Brad to shower Angelina with jewelry. I don?t think Angelina likes to wear a lot of jewelry, though, so maybe Brad has learned that over time. Still, I would love it if Brad had dropped some serious cash on a diamond-encrusted something for Angelina?s birthday. I guess a boozy dinner is good too! But seriously, get some jewelry!

Here are new photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Paris for the World War Z premiere last night. Angelina wore Yves Saint Laurent (I guess we?re supposed to call it ?Saint Laurent? now) again! She?s been wearing a lot of Saint Laurent this year. Apparently, this was a custom-made suit just for her. Which means it probably fits her like a glove. I don?t mind Angelina in menswear-type clothes ? I will always prefer her in a well-cut suit as opposed to a sack dress. But I do find this whole ?look? rather boring. It needs a pop of color somewhere, or better jewelry or a different hairstyle. Everything is too sedate and somber.
I have some assorted quotes from Brad and Angelina too, most of which are from the UK premiere on Sunday. Brad told Extra, “We have a policy in our family, no secrets. I mean there’s an age of understanding, so you’ve got to present it in a way that is age appropriate, but we know our children very well. We want everything to be on the table and any questions they have for them to ask. We unleash certain things on them when it’s out of the scary zone. And we know where we’re heading. It’s been a lovely thing.” No secrets? except for those gossip-y gerbils. Brad also talked to the NYDN about his fianc/lover and how much he adores her. Brad said:
?I think the world of her. She is an amazing woman. She wasn?t really nervous about coming to support me tonight; she was so moved ? we were all so moved ? by how much it meant to others. We didn?t realize, or certainly I didn?t realize, how many people were in limbo over this, deliberating, and unsure of what their options were. They didn?t know the testing even existed, then you find out it is not available to everyone. It certainly should be, there is no reason for anyone to have to die. It?s become a tipping point. I?m very touched by the reaction; it makes me very emotional.?
[Via the NYDN]
Brad Pitt also said ?That’s who I fell in love with from the very beginning? The person that you see now is the person that I’ve always known and she’s heroic and incredibly strong and will attack any problem head-on and make it work.” Such a Jolie-Pitt lovefest. Sigh? these are good days to be a Brangeloonie.

Here’s Angelina Jolie in her first appearance post-mastectomy. She was with Brad Pitt celebrating the premiere ofWorld War Z. In other words, here are her new boobs. They, uh, look like boobs. They got the same shape and everything. I don’t know. Were you expecting something different like a lumpy bag of coal?
Anyway, Angelina probably made the right decision as her aunt, Debbie Martin, also died from breast cancer last week. ThoughI’d like to think the decision was made easier when the doctor assured her, “We can rebuild it. We have the technology.”

Brad Pitt covers the June/July issue of Esquire to promote World War Z. The interview was released last night and I’ll be covering it later today. The interview was done by Tom Junod around the beginning of April, when Angelina was in the midst of her multiple mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries. Brad didn?t give Junod any clue into what was going on. And so after Angelina?s announcement (one week ago today), Junod published an addendum (consider it a ?reimagining?) to his yet-to-released Esquire cover story. It?s just his basic thoughts on Brad and Angelina?s relationship and Brad talking about how much he loves his girl. It?s really nice:
Tom Junod’s profile of Brad Pitt will appear in the June/July issue, which is on newsstands at the end of the month.
When I met Brad Pitt the day after Easter, he was so tired that he was perhaps more reflective than usual. He had just finished a week of spring break with his family. He had camped out with them the night before on his property north of Santa Barbara, and he had woken up, he said, too early, as well as too wet. They had slept in tents, four of his six children, along with two of their friends, and then he had gotten all of them in a van and driven them down to LA.
?Angie too?? I asked.
?Yeah,? he said. ?Angie too.?
I told him that I?d met her a few years before, when I profiled her for Esquire. She was making a movie about the wife of the murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, and the thesis of my story was that while 9/11 was supposed to make us all better — a better country and a better people — it only worked for Angelina Jolie. The story has won a kind of immortality as ?The Worst Celebrity Profile Ever Written,? and when I told that to Angelina Jolie?s partner, he at first laughed and said that he hoped Esquire would use that as the title of the profile I was writing about him. Then he got serious. ?But you were right,? he said. ?You were right, you were right. Angie is….the best person…..?
I remembered meeting Angelina Jolie — how thin she was, how much steak she ate and wine she drank, and above all her utter self-possession. She answered every question I asked, but she was the kind of person who responded without ever simply reacting. Brad Pitt was different. He was, like a lot of men, stuck between family and work, and the day he came back to LA from spring break was the day he began the push to finish his summer zombie movie, World War Z. And so, although he was Brad Pitt, he was also a big guy, dressed in black, stained around the eyes by stress and exhaustion, who spoke leaning forward, bent at the waist, with his hands folded between his legs, and was in the habit of repeating himself between long pauses. ?I?m a crap interview,? he?d warned me, but when he began talking about his family, he said twice, ?I haven?t known life to be any happier,? and he said it in such a way that I never once thought to doubt him.
This was April 1. I didn?t know then what I know now — that a month earlier, his partner, Angelina Jolie, commenced the series of surgeries that would end, a month later, with her pre-emptive double mastectomy. Over the next few weeks, I talked to several of Pitt?s close friends. They must have known what the couple was enduring, but of course they never told me. One of them, however, called me back after our first interview. His name was Frank Pollaro, and he?d spoken about the furniture business he?d started with Brad Pitt, and about Pitt?s excellent eye. But he wanted to say something else, so he called Brad, and asked if he was at liberty to speak about Brad?s relationship with Angelina. He was, and so when he called back, he told me what he?d seen at Brad?s house — ?once I walked in and Angie was standing there and Zahara walked up and said, ?Daddy, you?re not going to start making out with Mommy again, are you?? And it?s like that. This is a guy who has tried not to do any sexy scenes with other women since he?s met Angelinia. He?s crazy about her, and she?s the same way about him. No matter how hard he?s working, if one of those kids runs by the window he?ll get out of his chair and give them a kiss. And I don?t think I?ve ever seen Angie without one of those children in her arms.?
It?s the nature of marriage — or, in the case Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a committed relationship — to both invite and repel scrutiny. We have no idea how any two people make a life together, much less two people as professionally exhibitionistic and privately enigmatic as the two combined in the public mind as ?Brangelina.? But I will say this: a long time ago, Brad Pitt left college in Missouri to come to LA and act in movies. He insists that he wasn?t looking for stardom, only a sense of life and possibility larger than what he left behind. He insists that he was searching the chimera of Hollywood for something real. This morning, the mother of his children revealed in the New York Times that he was ?at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries.?
You do not have to be a celebrity, only a father and a man in love with a woman, to know that life doesn?t get any more real than that.
[From Esquire]
Does Junod sound like a fan-boy? Sure. But that doesn?t mean I didn?t enjoy this piece immensely. Junod infamously profiled Angelina several years ago ? he references that in this piece, and you can read the old story here. It?s not a particularly revealing interview for Angelina, but again, it sounds like it was written by a fan-boy. And why not? Why can?t a celebrity journalist admit that he or she believes that Brad and Angelina are in love and in it for the long haul? That despite all of the glitz and bulls?t that comes with their jobs, they actually managed to make something real and lasting together? *adjusts Brangeloonie tin foil hat*

PEOPLE reports that despite undergoing apreventativedouble mastectomy and lowering her chance of developing breast cancer to 8%, the faulty BRCA1 gene Angelina Jolie carries still increases her chances of getting ovarian cancer (50%), the same type of cancer her mom died from. That’s why she’s taking her ovaries out too.
Some doctors recommend patients undergo the surgery by age 40 or when a woman is done having children, though it may trigger early menopause.
No word on when that’s going to happen but you’ll probably know once you see an eBay auction that says, “Angelina Jolie’s ovaries! Start $5,000,000! Buy it now: $15,000,000!”

In a New York Times op-ed piece called “My Medical Choice,” Angelina Jolie revealed she underwent a double mastectomy after genetic tests showed she had an 87% risk of developing the breast cancer that killed her mother at age 56. People Magazine says:
The 37-year-old actress had the surgery in February and completed the last of the follow-up procedures in April.
“I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy,” says Jolie in the column appearing Tuesday. “But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”
Jolie, who has six children with Brad Pitt, says the actor was at her side every step of the way.
“I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive,” she writes. “So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition.”
Pitt was with her “for every minute of the surgeries,” and even during the difficult times, “We managed to find moments to laugh together.”
“We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has,” she writes.
Jolie describes in detail her surgery and follow-up procedures, including receiving implants, and that now her children “see nothing that makes them uncomfortable.”
“They can see my small scars and that’s it,” she writes. “Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can.
“On a personal note,” she continues, “I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”
I just hoped they kept a tight reign on whoever cleaned up after the surgeries, because I have a feeling genuine Angelina Jolie breast tissue would make a mint on eBay. I know the fake Angelina Jolie breast tissue I put up last week broke twenty bucks before the jerks made me take it down.

She?s been laying low as of late, and it turns out Angelina Jolie has been recovering from a double mastectomy she underwent earlier this year.
The ?Mr. and Mrs. Smith? star explained in a New York Times op-ed that there wasn?t anything medically pressing that led to the decision, but rather her genetic predisposition to developing breast cancer.
Jolie shared, "My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was."
"I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don?t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."
Angelina continued, "My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a 'nipple delay,' which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area."
Jolie also noted that she still feels plenty of girl power- "I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."

Angelina Jolie wrote an op-ed, published in today?s New York Times, in which she discusses her medical decision to have a double-mastectomy. Angelina?s mother Marcheline battled cancer for a decade ? Marcheline was diagnosed when Angelina was in her early 20s. I think Marcheline?s cancer battle and death in 2007 was one of the most devastating things that has ever happened to Angelina, and it gave Angelina the sense that she would probably die young like her mother. She?s always said variations of ?The women in my family die young? and that?s why she always said she chose to have so many kids so fast ? she wanted to be able to enjoy motherhood while she could. Well, Angelina?s doctors told her that she has/had a very high risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer, so she underwent the double mastectomy over the past three months. Here?s her NYT op-ed:
MY MOTHER fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.
We often speak of ?Mommy?s mommy,? and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a ?faulty? gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman. Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a 65 percent risk of getting it, on average.
Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.
On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.
But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people?s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.
My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a ?nipple delay,? which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area. This causes some pain and a lot of bruising, but it increases the chance of saving the nipple.
Two weeks later I had the major surgery, where the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place. The operation can take eight hours. You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science-fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life.
Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant. There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.
I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don?t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.
It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that?s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.
I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.
For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options. I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.
I acknowledge that there are many wonderful holistic doctors working on alternatives to surgery. My own regimen will be posted in due course on the Web site of the Pink Lotus Breast Center. I hope that this will be helpful to other women.
Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women.
I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options.
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

Damn, she made me get all teary first thing in the morning. Man. I think this is beautifully written and beautifully thought-out. Angelina has always feared that she would not be around to see her children grow up, and I think this will give her peace of mind for a while. She makes it sound like she?s going to undergo some preventative measures for her ovarian cancer risk as well ? what would that involve? A partial or total hysterectomy? I think it?s lovely that Brad was there to support her every step of the way, and I like how she explained the surgeries (because I didn?t realize that it was such a multi-stage process). God bless her.
