The song is “Memories of Us” by Keith Urban and it’s such a great accent to their story.

Also, check out the kids! Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh were so small (Pax, Vivienne, and Knox weren’t even a part of the family yet).

I love Brad and Angelina videos like this, it’s fun to look back - I wonder if they expected to have three more kids by now at that time.

Happy Friday Flashback!

Angelina Jolie is ‘’still a mess” over the death of her mother.

The 33-year-old beauty - whose French-Canadian mom passed away in January 2007 - is still struggling to come to terms with life without Marcheline Bertrand, and is worried she will never be as close to anyone else again.

A source said: “She has to keep it together for the sake of her kids, but she is only human and falls apart from time to time.”

“She is still a mess over Marcheline’s departure, believing no one understands her the way her mother did. They had a very strong bond that she feels she will never have with another person.”

Angelina depends on partner Brad Pitt for support during her darkest times, and also relies on her children - adopted Maddox, seven, Pax, four, and Zahara, three, biological daughter Shiloh, two, and four-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline - to raise her spirits.

The source added: “Brad has been her rock, and he will always be there for her. Without his love, she would never have been able to cope.”

“Maddox tries to cheer her up and makes her laugh and smile. She feels like she is the most privileged woman to have such an incredible family and has said her mother is a guardian angel over her household.”

Earlier this month, Angelina broke down in tears while talking about her mom while promoting new film “Changeling.”

She said: “She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her, her story.”

“She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength through just knowing what was right.”

The rumor has it she has already been photographed for the campaign and the first look we were honored with was this one, taken November 20th and fresh from the Photoshop oven, served hot to my faithful readers today! So the huge gorgeous Hermès will be soon forgotten and Katie’s closet will be filled with Miu Miu! Do you think she’ll pump up the sales for MiuMiu next year? (photos via justjared, miumiu.com)

Angelina Jolie says her film ”Changeling” had so much impact on her, it nearly prevented her trying for another baby.

The actress says playing the part of Christine Collins in the film - which tells the true story of a woman’s son going missing, only to be replaced with an impostor - stuck in her mind so much it gave her nightmares and panic attacks.

Angelina, who made the film in August and September last year said: “I was wacko, emotionally, during this one.”

“I just couldn’t get the story out of my head. It was like, do you want to start a pregnancy in this high emotional state? I felt so raw.”

Angelina, 33, did however become pregnant and gave birth to twins - Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline - with partner Brad Pitt four months ago.

She is also mother to four other children: adoptees Maddox, seven; Pax, four and Zahara, three and her biological daughter with Brad Pitt, Shiloh, two.

She says that during filming she would become intensely paranoid for her children. She added: “It’s harrowing to watch and, yes, it was harrowing to make.”

“During this film I was much more paranoid about my own children - where they were, what they were doing.”

“I remember one weekend I’d taken a nap and Shiloh was asleep in her cradle, and when I woke up she was gone. I was freaking out. And nothing had happened - Brad had taken her and the rest of the kids to the park.”

“But [the] story haunted me. Throughout filming I was hugging the kids and keeping them close to me.”

“Changeling” starring Angelina alongside John Malkovich and Michael Kelly is released on November 26.

I do have one minor issue with the article - I have a pet peeve when anyone refers to a father as “baby-sitting” his children, but aside from that minor annoyance in the first paragraph, it’s great and gives us a nice insight into Angelina Jolie without getting sarcastic.

Another one of the interviews she gave during her press run for Changeling in New York, they mention that Angelina looks completely pulled together despite her self-mockery over her attempt to get breakfast underway just hours before the interview began.

Considering the times I’ve heard negative comments about how much money was spent for People to get the rights to the first twins’ photos, I was glad to read that Angelina acknowledged it, that it doesn’t seem as though it was a small sum to her:

‘It was a crazy amount of money,’ she agrees, referring to the baby pictures deal. ‘But look, we’re using the money for our charitable foundation and in that way it does some good.’

Immediately after that, the article talks about just a small amount of the goodwill work Angie does for refugee children around the world, and it manages to do so without getting snotty, which would have helped the NYT article a great deal.

More below the cut!

She talks about her new perception of beauty too:

‘You know what is beautiful? My mom. [Her mother was the French actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died aged 56 last January from ovarian cancer.] She was beautiful to me, and I look more like my mom as I get older. Something else comes out of you when you become a parent and, as you get older, you start to see more character in your face.

‘Now, when I look at myself, I just see somebody at peace, and I see a mom, and I see my own relatives in my face – and that’s a kind of beauty that exists for everybody and doesn’t disappear.’

Considering the striking resemblance between Angelina and Marcheline, I can’t disagree with that!

She expanded on what it was like to shoot a movie with a disturbing topic like Changeling. Angelina has often mentioned how difficult it is, as a mother, to go into that dark place of having a missing child, but in this interview she also added that she was constantly paranoid about her own children, about where they were and what they were doing at all times. I can’t blame her, because when you have to be in that frame of mind all day on set, how could you not let it leak into your real life?

‘I remember one weekend I’d taken a nap and Shiloh was asleep in her cradle, and when I woke up she was gone. I was freaking out. And nothing had happened – Brad had taken her and the rest of the kids to the park.

‘But Walter’s story haunted me. Throughout filming I was hugging the kids and keeping them close to me.’

I think one of my favorite parts of the article is when the author says that although the tabloids run rampant about Angelina’s so-called post-partum depression and tell tales of alleged trouble in the Angelina and Brad relationship, she certainly seems to be a woman who is very happy with everything in her life right now. They also re-iterate the fact that Angelina doesn’t read the tabloids, that they’re silly.

Angelina admits she isn’t perfect, something people should be aware of, says she’s made mistakes and learned from them, and says, ‘I’d love to talk to other mothers about things I don’t know how to do.’ One of her less-than-perfect sides is that she isn’t as green as she’d like to be, but that Brad has taught her a lot about how to be better.

I was especially happy to hear her address the flights, since many people like to snark on the fact that they’re supposed to be an environmentally aware family and yet the Jolie-Pitt family flies privately so frequently (as though they could all sit in coach, SURE). She said, ‘And if we fly private, we buy carbon credits wherever we go.’

It was just so refreshing to read this after the two-faced article of last week. Please check out the full interview over here.

Next month, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will reportedly be spending the holiday abroad in one of the birth countries of their three adopted children. The 33-year-old actress admits that with six children in all, the couple is "usually exhausted by Christmas Eve." It's an exhaustion she looks forward to, however. Calling the holiday season "kind of the best thing about being a mom and dad," Angelina adds,

"We love it -- it's that fun of sitting up in the middle of the night and wrapping the presents together and doing the stockings and all that kind of stuff."

Together, Brad and Angelina are parents to Maddox Chivan, 7, Pax Thien, turning 5 this month, Zahara Marley, 3 ½, Shiloh Nouvel, 2, and twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, 4 months.
