The Most Beautiful Woman In The World gave an interview to “Reader’s Digest” in which she discusses her reasons for having her daughter Shiloh and other world-shattering topics. Let the comment board light up! No story topic gets as much back-n-forth as Angie and Brad. They’ll be old and 95 and by a lake somewhere and people will still be loving or hating them. What is it about this couple? Is it because she’s the Most Beautiful Woman In The World? Is that it? If they were busted-looking – would they still cause this much chinwag?

Asked in the June issue of Reader’s Digest if the pregnancy was intentional, Jolie, 31, says: “It was.

“Before I met Brad, I always said I was happy never to have a child biologically. He told me he hadn’t given up that thought. Then, a few months after Z came home, I saw Brad with her and Mad, and I realized how much he loved him, that a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, ‘I want to try.’ “

This is all well and good but ya did refer to your child as a “blob”. So obviously it wasn’t satisfying at first as rescuing the tiny people from poverty and stuff. Keep reading for more fun facts and to find out whether she plans to have any more children – be they biological or adopted.

On how she went from single mom of one to part of a family of six in just three years: “I met this amazing person, and we realized we had very similar views on how we wanted to live our lives. It’s happened quickly, with so many children. Yesterday, picking up the kids from school, Brad turned around in the car, and there were three of them. He couldn’t stop laughing.”

On deciding to adopt a toddler from Vietman: “As kids get older, it’s harder for them to be adopted. … Something changed for me with Shiloh. We had Mad and Z, and neither looked like Mommy or Daddy. Then suddenly somebody in the house looked like Mommy and Daddy. It became clear to us that it might be important to have somebody around who is similar to the other children so they have a connection. Mad’s very excited that his brother is from Asia.”

On her wanting more children: “Yeah, yeah. More biological, more adopted.”

On finding quality time with Pitt: “Right now, that’s our problem! We hang out. We try to talk over the swing set. We’ll have a date night once everybody is settled. … Especially now with Pax, he still gets scared if I’m gone more than a few hours. But we’ll get them occupied with a movie and popcorn and try to run off and lock the door for a bit.”

Oh god, I just flashed back to hearing my parents’ bedsprings creak on Sunday mornings after they left the breakfast area. BLECH! STOP! Those poor kids. I don’t care how beautiful your parents are, no one wants to picture them bangin’.

    Dear Cynthia is NOT Boss — 80 % of the people out here agree with what I’m saying and most people out here post several times, so why exactly are you asking if I have a job? Threatened perhaps? My words hit a little too close to home — “truth hurts” type of thing?

    Do I need to remind you that you and your hypocritical arse are out here as well reading gossip and posting???
