No Wedding Plans for Angelina and Brad

In an exclusive interview on her private life, Angelina Jolie told Reader’s Digest, that she and her partner, Brad Pitt, do not want to bind their union legally.  The magazine will be in stores on May 22.

Jolie also disclosed that although the couple already has four children, they would like to have more, biological and adopted children.

"I met this amazing person," she said of Brad in the interview, "who in spending a lot of time talking realized we had very, very similar views on family, views on how we wanted to live our lives…, you know, where we were — just very, very similar."

She added, "I discovered a man who’s extremely thoughtful, intelligent and invested in many issues. He’s just more quiet in his way. I think that’s the reason I love him."

The 31-year-old actress claimed that Shiloh was not an unexpected baby.  "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 [Zahara] came home, I saw Brad with her and [Maddox], and I realized how much he loved them — that a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, ‘I want to try."

The couple’s four children are:  Maddox, 5, Zahara 2, Pax, 3 and Shiloh, 1.

Paris Hilton Accepts Her Sentence

The 26 year-old star, who was sentenced to spend 45 days behind bars, says that she is now ready to face the consequences of her actions.

The heiress, who was sentenced to jail after driving with a suspended license, made the announcement yesterday.  Hilton said, "After reading the media’s coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should – no matter how slightly. I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."
