Lady Gaga receives Hero award


Lady Gaga's has declared her Hero Award in recognition of her work with the LGBT community better than a Grammy.

The 'Marry the Night' hitmaker was honoured by the Trevor Project - a non-profit company that offers suicide-prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth - at their annual Trevor Live event in Los Angeles last night (04.12.11) and said it means more to her than receiving accolades for her music.

Accepting the prize at the star-studded event at The Hollywood Palladium, she said: "This means more to me than any Grammy I could ever win."

Gaga was presented with her award by the family of Jamey Rodemeyer, the New York teenager and huge Lady Gaga fan, who killed himself in September after enduring constant bullying over his sexuality.

Josh Duhamel and his wife Fergie, LeAnn Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian, 'Glee's Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Dianna Agron and Amber Riley and 'Footloose' Julianne Hough were all in attendance.

Openly gay 'Star Trek' hunk Zachary Quinto and lesbian actress Amber Heard were also recognised for raising awareness of equal rights.

Zachary wrote on twitter: "Such a moving and inspiring evening at trevor live with TrevorProject and many friends! enormous heaps of gratitude! (sic)"

Performers included Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka, Miley Cyrus, Mary J. Blige and Queen Latifah.

'Sexy goddess' Kristen Stewart


Robert Pattinson thinks Kristen Stewart is a "sexy goddess".

The 25-year-old actor - who is dating his 'Twilight Saga' co-star off-screen - admitted Kristen looked "amazing" when her alter-ego Bella Swann turned into a blood-sucking "vampire queen" during the latest film in the franchise.

He said: "She was a sexy goddess. She looked amazing. It was funny because Bella is that girl that is always tripping on things, and then, she turns into this elegant woman, like a vampire queen.

"Kristen had the best twist in the plot!"

However, Robert - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in 'Twilight' - admitted the couple's on-screen sex scene was far from easy because there were so many crew members who wanted to have a say in how the pair's intimacy panned out.

He added in an interview with Brazil's Capricho magazine: "I was trying to do a sex scene and there was huge guy lying on the floor, looking at me and telling me what to do.

"The hardest thing was that, in normal movies, when you're doing a sex scene, people don't pressure you a lot because the director doesn't want to intervene and suggest how he would do that.

"But in 'Breaking Dawn', it was different, there was too much expectation. How to make all the people that were waiting for that moment happy."

Victoria Beckham inspired by kids 'every day'


Victoria Beckham is inspired by her children "every day".

The fashion designer - who has four kids, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old Harper, with her soccer star husband David - says being a mother gives her the inspiration needed for her work, while spouse David gives her the support she desires.

Speaking at the British Fashion Awards - where her clothing line won Designer Brand of the Year - Victoria said: "David is my rock. He encourages me and gives me the confidence to do what I do and my kids inspire me every day. And my mum and dad were here, which was fantastic. I love them all so, so much. My family means everything to me."

Victoria - who lives with her family in Los Angeles - was accompanied to London by daughter Harper but says she wishes all her children could have gone with her.

She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Harper comes everywhere with me. All the kids would come everywhere with me but the boys have to be at school."

Victoria recently revealed she is "in love" with all her four children and loves being a mother as they bring so much joy to her life.

The 37-year-old star said: "Harper is absolutely amazing. But I am in love with all of my children. They are all wonderful."

Angelina Jolie sued for copyright


Angelina Jolie is being sued for copyright violation.

Croatian journalist James Braddock claims the Oscar-winning actress' upcoming directorial debut 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' is based on his book 'The Subject Work', which he published in 2007.

In a lawsuit filed in a federal court in Illinois, Mr. Braddock claims he met with producer Edin Sarkic - who is now working on Angelina's movie - several times throughout 2008 to discuss the possibility of his tome being adapted for the big screen, X17 reports.

He maintains the pair talked about the details of the book, which similarly to 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' documents the love story between a female prisoner and a Serbian soldier, "including plot and character development and the story's cultural significance and historical accuracy".

A judge will now have determine whether "the claimed obvious similarities meet the high threshold needed to prove copyright infringement".

Mr. Braddock is seeking an injunction to block the film's scheduled release on December 23, as well as unspecified damages.

This is the latest blow for Angelina, as she and partner Brad Pitt are also being sued for $87,566 in an unfair dismissal case by their former secretary Ana Charlotiaux, who worked at the couple's Chateau Miraval estate in the South of France until February 2010.

At a recent hearing, Ana's lawyer Emmanuel Ludot said: "She is not asking for much - just fair compensation for wrongful dismissal.

"This money is a drop in the ocean for these stars. She has nothing against them personally, and says she was always treated well by them, but they did not step in to prevent her being dismissed."

Demi Moore dating again after split


Demi Moore is reportedly dating beauty mogul Scott-Vincent Borba.

The 'Ghost' actress' - who announced her split from husband Ashton Kutcher last month - has grown close to Scott over the past few weeks and the pair decided to take their friendship further last week.

A source said: "Demi and Scott-Vincent started dating last week. They have known each other a long time and he's really been there for her by her side through the whole Ashton thing."

Scott - who is in his mid-30s and co-founded BORBA skin care products - is said to be smitten with 49-year-old Demi and isn't star-struck by her as he works with many celebrities.

The source added to RadarOnline.com: "It's easy for Scott-Vincent to keep his relationships a secret because he's so often photographed hanging out with celebrity clientele. But he's head over heels for Demi and there's definitely potential for a lasting relationship between them."

Demi - who has three daughters with first husband Bruce Willis - announced she was ending her six-year marriage to Ashton last month after he was accused of cheating on her in September.

She said in a statement: "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation."

Brad Pitt comforted a suicidal fan following a special screening of his new movie 'Moneyball'.

The 47-year-old Hollywood star was initially shocked when the aspiring actor revealed at a special Q&A for the movie that he had been struggling with suicidal thoughts earlier in the day and said the baseball biopic gave him "a renewed sense of hope" but Brad quickly recovered and offered some words of wisdom to the man.

A source told USmagazine.com: "Brad said 'Look, man, life is up and down, it's a vicious cycle, but you have to go through it and deal with that. You can be down, but then you come back up again, and every failure can lead to success'.

"Brad handled the situation really well in front of several hundred people - it was a difficult moment that shocked everyone."

Another insider added: "It was a touching moment. As he left he even stopped to talk with the guy to offer him some more words of encouragement because he was obviously fragile."

Look who is back in Scandal


TALENTED: Luthuli Dlamini
Dec 2, 2011 | Patience Bambalele

"It's good to be back again" PLUS what happens to Stan


TELEVISION and film actor Luthuli Dlamini is back in the e.tv soapie Scandal after a two-year break.

Dlamini, who portrays business mogul Stan Nyathi, will start appearing on television on December 14.

He disappeared from the small screes when his character went to England, leaving his brother Daniel - Sello Maake kaNcube - in charge of the business.

Dlamini says the return of Stan will stir things up for Daniel, who is enjoying the power at the moment.

"Daniel has been enjoying power alone and the return of Stan will limit his freedom."

Born in Zimbabwe and raised in England, Dlamini moved to South Africa after finishing school to estab-lish himself as an actor.

He says his return to the soapie is well-timed.

"It is good to be back again and see old friends and cast members," he says. "I see Rami Chuene is also back. I am already enjoying myself. I took a break to focus on others things. I have been acting in films and a drama series. I have been writing a lot but my projects have not received enough funding."

While in England Stan discovered that he was not the father of his only son, Mangi, whom he raised. His brother Daniel fathered Mangi.

Dlamini says things will be difficult for Stan as he tries to find his feet and make sense of everything that is happening.

The talented actor has made numerous television appearances in shows such as Drum, Snitch, Generations, Isidingo, Justice For All and The Res, before landing the lead role in Scandal.

He has played the leading role of Tombo Mbuli in the M-Net sitcom The Coconuts. Early this year he starred in the green consumerism show Greenline, on SABC3.

Tom Cruise on new world-saving mission impossible


Cast members Paula Patton (L) and Tom Cruise pose at a promotional event for their latest film ''Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol'' in Tokyo December 1, 2011. Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon

Thu Dec 1, 2011 3:57pm EST

TOKYO, Dec 1 - Tom Cruise kicked off the rollout of the fourth installment of his "Mission Impossible" franchise with a limited fan screening in Japan on Thursday ahead of its official world premiere next week.

Cruise, 49, returns as super-agent Ethan Hunt saving the world yet again in "Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol," packed with stunts and action scenes, some featuring the world's tallest building -- Dubai's Burj Khalifa.

In the latest in the series of blockbusters that has grossed nearly $1.5 billion worldwide, Impossible Mission Force (IMF) operative Hunt and fellow agents are blamed for a terrorist bombing of the Kremlin and are forced to run.

The agency is dissolved and the group -- without any resources or backup -- must find a way to clear the agency's name, prevent another attack and avert a nuclear war.

Major parts of the film were shot in Dubai, where it will officially open on December 7, while the action also takes Hunt to Moscow, Budapest and Mumbai.

Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Viacom Inc., said Cruise chose to start the film's tour in Tokyo ahead of the Dubai splash as a gesture to his Japanese fans and the nation that suffered so much from the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and the ensuing nuclear crisis.

"I know this country has been through lots this year," he said after attending a red carpet event where some 1,500 noisy fans braved the cold to see him.

"But I also know the strength and courage of this country and I know you will get through it. And I want you to know how much we love you and the world is thinking of you, and we are here."

Misao Otsu, a 48-year-old who runs a company trading in cosmetic products, praised Cruise for his work ethic.

"I always go to see these (Mission Impossible) movies on opening day," she said. "I want the series to continue. What Tom does is beyond what a human being can do."

The film will be released in Japan on December 16 and in the United States on December 21 with theatrical releases around the world staggered over several weeks.

Two-time Academy Award winner Brad Bird directed the film and the cast includes Jeremy Renner, nominated for an Oscar for his role in the 2008 war film "The Hurt Locker."

Bird won the Oscars for animated films "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille."

Cruise is producing the film with J.J. Abrams who last teamed up with the actor in 2006 for "Mission Impossible III."

Justin Bieber wants family Christmas


Justin Bieber wants to spend Christmas with his family.

The 17-year-old popstar revealed he doesn't want expensive gifts for the holidays but instead he hopes to get some time off to spend with his loved ones in Canada.

He told Hollywood Teen TV: "For this Christmas, I just want to be with my family. I don't really have any requests, except for socks and underwear because I just run out of them a lot."

Justin - who was born in London, Ontario and grew up in Stratford, Ontario - has previously revealed he is keen to return to his native country when he is a bit older and ready to start a family.

He said: "I think it would be cool to get a condo out here in LA, but eventually I'll probably want to move back to Canada and raise my family. Why? I dunno, I'm Canadian, I feel like I want my kids to be Canadian."

Kanye West gets 7 Grammy noms


Rappers Kanye West (L) and Jay-Z perform during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the Lexington Armory in New York November 9, 2011.[Photo/Agencies]

Adele scored six Grammy nominations on Wednesday, including for record, song and album of the year, but the owner of the 2011's best-selling album with "21" wasn't the night's top nominee — and that wasn't the evening's only surprise.

Kanye West came away with a leading seven nominations, including a bid for song of the year for his all-star song "All of the Lights." However, the album from which it came — "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," heralded by many critics as the best album of 2010 — was not in the best album category, and all of his other nominations were relegated to the rap fields.

Other notable omissions in the top categories included country phenomenon Taylor Swift and veteran crooner Tony Bennett.


Bruno Mars and the Foo Fighters tied Adele with six nominations each, including in the album of the year category. Lil Wayne had five nods and critical-darling folky act Bon Iver scored four nominations, with two in the prestigious record and song of the year categories. But dubstep star Skrillex may have been the night's biggest surprise, getting five nominations, including a bid for best new artist.

"It feels incredible. Me and these guys, we locked ourselves in the studio not too far from here and worked on this album, especially 'Grenade,'" Mars said after the nominations were announced. "That's the song we worked the hardest on. That's like our trophy right there. Of all the songs we've been fortunate enough to be a part of this year, we were most proud of that one."

The nominations were announced after the Recording Academy's fourth annual live concert special, which aired on CBS from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The hour-long event featured key nominees like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and the Band Perry.

Even though Adele didn't get the lion's share of nominations, she got them where it counted: Her "21," the mournful post-breakup album that produced smash hits like the torch ballad "Someone Like You" — was nominated for album of the year. The searing groove "Rolling in the Deep," which spent seven weeks at No. 1 this past summer, got nominations for both record and song of the year. Only Mars got nominations in all three categories as well.

Other nominees in the record of the year category included Bon Iver's ballad "Holocene"; Mars' ballad "Grenade"; Mumford & Sons' "The Cave"; and Katy Perry's inspirational anthem "Firework." For song of the year, which honors the writers of the tune, contenders included "The Cave," ''Grenade, "Holocene" and Lady Gaga's "You and I."

The best album category was as noteworthy for who was excluded as it was for who was nominated. Lady Gaga garnered her third straight nod in the category for "Born This Way," while veteran rockers the Foo Fighters were nominated for "Wasting Light," along with Mars' debut album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," and Rihanna's steamy dance album "Loud."

Shut out were perceived favorites like 85-year-old Bennett, who became the oldest person to score a No. 1 debut when his "Duets II" album was released earlier this year, and the megawatt collaboration of Jay-Z and West with the heavily hyped "Watch The Throne."

The biggest snub may have been to Swift, who won in the category in 2010 and was considered by some critics to be a favorite for "Speak Now," which has sold 3.7 million copies. She did get three nominations, however, including for best country album.

(Another blonde diva, Beyonce, merited just two nominations in lesser categories).

Unlike the past two years, which saw Swift and fellow country act Lady Antebellum soar in the general categories, the only country act that got a mainstream nomination was the country sibling act The Band Perry. Best known for their poignant ballad "If I Die Young," they got a nomination for best new artist.

"It's been an amazing evening," said lead singer Kimberly Perry. "We got the good news yesterday that our debut album went platinum, it was certified yesterday, to so follow it with a nomination tonight is phenomenal. We're just in the clouds, absolutely."

Their competition also includes Bon Iver, Jay-Z rap protege J. Cole, Skrillex and rapper-singer Nicki Minaj, who scored four nominations in total.

The 54th Grammys will be held Feb. 12 in Los Angeles. The ceremony will mark the first since the academy shaved its categories from 109 to 78 this year, amid some protest. Some of the more niched categories, like best Zydeco or Cajun music album, were eliminated.

In addition, men and women now compete together in vocal categories for pop, R&B and country, instead of having separate categories for each sex. This year, the category is best pop solo performance and Bruno Mars is the only man nominated for "Grenade." His competition includes Adele for "Someone Like You," Lady Gaga for "You and I," Pink for "(Expletive) Perfect" and Perry for "Firework."

Art collector Blake Lively



Blake Lively loves collecting art.

The 'Gossip Girl' star has been a huge fan of paintings ever since her brother Eric encouraged her to start her own collection and revealed she now always buys new art when she is away on location filming.

She explained to Artlog: "My brother Eric thought it was important for me to collect art and have an awareness of it at a young age. He took me to an exhibit by Sage Vaughn at a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles and bought me my first piece. That experience ignited a hunger to see more art and collect it however I could.

"I always try to buy things when I travel as a reminder of the trip and time spent in a city. When I was working in New Orleans for four months, I bought a chair and a painting of Audrey Hepburn by local artist Sarah Ashley Longshore."

While Blake's collection is varied, she admits she is drawn to a certain type of art.

She said: "I've found that I'm often drawn to pieces that portray a childish imagination with a malevolent undertone, like the moment on the boat in Willy Wonka when all the fantasy turns on itself into the unexpected. In every piece I own there is a sense of celebration, whether in image, context, or shade."

Madonna settles neighbor's suit

NEW YORK — Madonna has made peace with a neighbor who said the superstar made noise by using her New York City apartment as a rehearsal studio, lawyers involved in the matter said Wednesday.

Court records showed Karen George's lawsuit against the singer and their building was settled as of Wednesday. Lawyers for Madonna and the building's co-op board would say only the matter was resolved. George's attorney didn't immediately return a call.

George, whose apartment is upstairs from Madonna's in a building overlooking Central Park, had said the dance and exercise routines subjected neighbors to "blaring music, stomping and shaking walls" for up to three hours a day. George was driven from her apartment at times by the "unbearable" noise and vibrations, according to her lawsuit, filed in 2009. It sought unspecified damages.

Madonna took steps to dampen the sound in 2009, but George said they didn't work, according to an August court ruling that turned down the singer's effort to dismiss the lawsuit. George had said the building board acknowledged her complaints but ultimately didn't crack down because it didn't want trouble with Madonna.

Madonna and the board had said the noise never topped legal levels. The singer also said this March she'd built a studio elsewhere and wasn't using the apartment for musical moves anymore.

Madonna moved into the building after she was rejected in 1985 by the board at another ritzy Manhattan co-op, the San Remo, where U2 frontman Bono has an apartment.

Kris Humphries Seeks Annulment from Kim Kardashian, Claims 'Fraud'


Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian

By Jennifer Garcia and Mike Fleeman

Was it all just a TV show?

Kris Humphries filed Wednesday for an annulment from Kim Kardashian, seeking to erase his 72-day marriage on the grounds of fraud.

Even though the pair have a prenuptial agreement and no children, the NBA player is now set up for a possible legal fight with the reality starlet, who has filed for divorce.

"There's a clear conflict if one spouse is seeking a divorce, but the other wants an annulment," says family law attorney Scott Weston, who is not involved in the case. "A judge will have to decide which to allow, which could take many months."

But a source close to Kardashian says that a battle may be avoided.

"She always wanted an annulment but attorneys were against it so she's happy that both parties agree now," says the source.

In his Superior Court filing, Humphries marks the box reading "nullity of voidable marriage" and checks as the basis the box saying "fraud."

Under California law, a nullity is granted if the court finds that no valid marriage ever occurred. Along with fraud, grounds for an annulment include bigamy, incest, force or if the couple are under the age of consent.

Humphries's papers say that if he's denied an annulment then he wants a legal separation – not a divorce.

Humphries and Kardashian do agree on one point: the date of separation, which he also lists as Oct. 31.

After a whirlwind three-month engagement, the pair were married in a lavish ceremony filmed for Kardashian's show on E!.

Harper Beckham's luxurious tights


Harper Beckham has been spotted in $50 tights.

The four-month-old daughter of David and Victoria Beckham was spotted in Los Angeles LAX airport with her mother yesterday (27.11.11) and the designer Chloe logo was clearly visible on her legwear, which was teamed with a purple striped dress and hair bow.

Victoria and Harper were flying out to London for tonight's (28.11.11) British Fashion Awards.

The former Spice Girls star is nominated for Designer Brand of the Year at the ceremony, which takes place at the Savoy Hotel in London.

Meanwhile, David - who also has sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz with Victoria - has admitted he gets "excited" buying new outfits for Harper.

He told Us Weekly magazine: "I didn't know how excited I would get over buying hair bows. She has so many little dresses!"

Victoria has previously admitted she finds it "hard" being a working mother.

Speaking shortly before she gave birth to Harper, she said: "Maternity leave - what's that? I've been working incredibly hard so I'm prepared for next season.

"Being a working mum is hard - I think women can relate to me when I say it's like juggling glass balls.

"My husband and children will always be my priority. But for me, what I do professionally doesn't feel like a job - it's my passion."

Scarlett Johansson stays away from twitter


Scarlett Johansson won't go on twitter because she wants to keep her personal life private.

The 27-year-old actress is determined to keep certain things in her life secret from the public and has made a decision to avoid social media sites to maintain her stance.

Speaking to Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington for Interview magazine, she said: "I don't have a Facebook or a twitter account, and I don't know how I feel about this idea of, `Now, I'm eating dinner, and I want everyone to know that I'm having dinner at this time,' or `I just mailed a letter and dropped off my kids.' That, to me, is a very strange phenomenon. I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than have to continuously share details of my everyday life."

Scarlett - who is divorced from Ryan Reynolds - is shocked by how many of her acting contemporaries choose to share so much of their lives via social media.

She added: "I guess they use it in a way that works for them. But I'd rather that people had less access to my personal life. If I could keep it that way, I'd be a happy lady."

The 'We Bought A Zoo' star took legal action earlier this year after nude photos of her emerged online.

Hacker Christopher Chaney, 35, was arrested for stealing the images from the actress and other celebrities including Mila Kunis and Vanessa Hudgens and was charged with 26 counts of identity theft, unauthorised access to a protected computer and wiretapping. He faces up to 121 years in prison if he's convicted.

Daniel Craig to protect his marriage


Daniel Craig didn't want his wedding to Rachel Weisz to become "f***ed up" by making it public.

The 'James Bond' actor - who tied the knot with the actress at a private New York ceremony in June with only four guests present - admitted the couple wanted to formalise their union for "private reasons" and didn't feel the need to share it with anyone else.

He said: "We got away with it. We did it privately. And we've got a lot of people to thank for that. But that was the point. We did it for private reasons. Because we didn't want it f***ed up, because that would be sharing a secret.

"And the whole point is that it was a secret. A secret is a secret in my mind."

The 43-year-old star - who met Rachel on the set of 'Dream House' late last year - explained married life is so far "very happy" and he is hoping to be in the relationship for the "long run".

In an interview with the UK edition of GQ magazine, Daniel added: "I'm in love, I'm very happy. And that is as far as I'm prepared to go. Life is long, life goes wrong and I don't want to say something now that might be thrown back later.

"Ultimately, people are saying, 'Give it six months.' Well guess what? I'm not responding. Life is long and I am hopefully in this for the long run."

Robert Pattinson embarrassed about faking orgasm


Robert Pattinson says faking an orgasm for 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' was "embarrassing".

The hunky actor filmed a sex scene with real-life girlfriend Kristen Stewart for the vampire movie, and although he was happy with the result, he admitted having the entire crew watch as they shot the sequence wasn't a pleasant experience.

He told Espectacular TV: "We were staring into the camera doing orgasm faces and stuff and it becomes unbelievably embarrassing. But I think it ended up good at the end I think."

Robert has previously revealed he wanted more "thrusting" in the sex scene.

He explained: "It wasn't me, it was Kristen. I'm still doing the same thing, the general movement. Normally you have problems with ratings like nudity, but this was literally about the movement. Thrusting! They kept telling me not to move.

"They wanted to have a leash so you couldn't thrust past a certain point. Just the tip or something! That doesn't mean anything; it's just a figure of speech. I mean, they want to see thrusting, not probing."

Kitchen queen Britney Spears


Singer Britney Spears arrives at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles August 28, 2011.[Photo/Agencies]

Britney Spears loves her kitchen.

The 29-year-old singer - who has sons Sean Preston, six, and Jayden James, five, with ex-husband Kevin Federline - has a "very traditional" home and says she spends most times in the room where meals are prepared.

She said: "My house is very traditional. And I love 'shabby chic'. It's a very homey-cosy vibe.

"We spend a lot of time in the kitchen actually, maybe my kids will be doing their homework or that kind of thing when they get home from school. I love my kitchen."

When she isn't working, Britney - who is dating her former agent Jason Trawick - enjoys relaxing by watching movies with her sons, even if they don't always understand what they are seeing isn't real.

She told Stylist magazine: "The last film I saw was 'The Never Ending Story' with my children. They liked it but they were scared in places. They were like, 'This is scary, we don't want to watch this. And I was like, 'It's not scary, it's fake, it's a movie.'

"They haven't really grasped the concept that movies are fake - they always say, 'Is this real?' and I'm like, 'No baby - it's just a movie.' But they liked it."

Pitt and Jolie to adopt again


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie want to adopt another child.

The couple - who currently have biological kids Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne and adopted trio Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, and six-year-old Zahara - reportedly promised their adopted daughter they would take on the care of another youngster from Ethiopia, the poverty-stricken African nation where she was born.

A source said: "They are really excited about it. Brad and Angie made a promise to Zahara years ago that they would adopt another child from the region so she could have a sibling to relate to."

The couple are also said to believe having seven kids will bring them more "luck and happiness".

The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: "Also, seven has always been Brad's lucky number. He and Angelina think it would bring them luck and happiness."

Brad has previously admitted he always wanted to raise a large family.

He has said: "I know it seems extreme from the outside, but I've always kind of operated this way. When I know, I know, and why mess around?

"I had a friend who had a big family when I was a kid. I just loved the chaos around the breakfast table and the fighting and the ribbing, and the mom making pancakes for everyone or the dad making pancakes. And I just decided then if I was ever going to do it - this left some indelible mark on me - if I was ever going to do it, that's the way I was going to do it."
