Angelina Jolie's dream is to cross the Sahara desert

Angelina Jolie's dream is to cross the Sahara desert. She said in 2011, "I love Lawrence Of Arabia because I love the desert.

I've spent a lot of time in the Middle East and crossing the Sahara is a dream of mine".

She told the Financial Times newspaper, "We want to cross the Sahara. It takes 28 days. It would have to be on a camel. I wonder if we could do it in pieces and station the kids along the way?".

"Zahara wants to get back to Africa, and Shiloh too. So everyone takes their turns in their country."

Angelina Jolie tells her kids's involvement in her new fashion venture Atelier

Angelina Jolie signed up lease agreement with Meridian Capital Group where renowned Neoexpressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquiat was staying there. 

The final decision was based on daughter Zahara's approval. 

Jolie tells Vogue, “The moment they walked through the door, they knew the search was over".

"I can be very impulsive, but Zahara is so grounded, decisive, and thoughtful. When she agreed, I felt we were both decided.”

There are signs that the team is beginning to make its mark: Draped over the doorway is a blank canvas stenciled with the Atelier Jolie logo in white spray paint. “That was my son practicing".

Angelina Jolie revealed motherhood saved her from going to darker side

Angelina Jolie revealed motherhood saved her from going to darker side. 

She shared, 'I was 26 when I became a mother. My entire life changed. Having children saved me - and taught me to be in this world differently'.

'I think, recently, I would’ve gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them.

'They’re better than me, because you want your children to be. Of course, I’m the mother, and hopefully that safe place for them and that stability. 

'But I’m also the one that they laugh at - and I see them taking over so many different aspects of our family.'

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt split in 2005 after more than six years together.

Angelina Jolie wanted Jennifer Lawrence's role in Silver Linings Playboook

Angelina Jolie wanted to be the leading lady in Silver Linings Playboook (2012) but Jennifer Lawrence manage to win the role eventhough she was too young that time, at the age of 22 years old.

The role was about an unstable young widow, which was supposed for older actress.

A source revealed, “Angelina desperately wanted the female lead in the movie ‘Silver Linings Playbook.’ It was a prime role with great dialogue, and Angelina campaigned hard for it. But once the director saw Jennifer’s audition, it was no contest. Jennifer blew her out of the water.”

Filmmaker David O. Russell revealed, "Quite frankly, (Lawrence's audition) was like a formality. I didn't think she was really a contender. We had three very serious contenders (already). We had a lot of major actresses in town interested in the role, from Angelina Jolie to some other big stars, because it's a dimensional role for a young woman. Jennifer we frankly thought was too young."

David O. Russell explained why Jennifer got the role, “She kind of has an ageless quality. She could be 20, she could be 40.”

Growing Pains actor Kirk Cameron understand what Angelina Jolie is going through as parents of large family

Growing Pains actor Kirk Cameron understand what Angelina Jolie is going through as parents of large family. Kirk has two biological kids and four adopted kids.

And he understands when Angelina Jolie can't see difference between biological and adopted kids.

Cameron explained, "You forget who's adopted and who is not. The kids are 11, 10, nine, eight, seven and five-and-a-half. We feel like the Brady Bunch. There's never a dull moment".

"Everybody's got a friend at the house. For birthday parties you don't have to invite anybody else because everybody is there. It can be a bit harrowing at times because we don't have a nanny, so it is a commitment for my wife and I to raise these kids properly".

"But family is our highest priority. My wife even teaches classes at my kids' school on being a mom and being a wife."

Angelina Jolie didn't like hugging and finds it uncomfortable

Angelina Jolie didn't like hugging and finds it uncomfortable. 

She told Vogue magazine,  "I'm not a hugger. People make fun of me. It's something that I have a hard time with".

"If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging, crying - all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable".

"I've often been accused of not talking about my personal things. I mean, even with Brad. He usually has to draw something out of me".

"I have had a lot of people - ex-husbands - suggest that they'd be very open to being a shoulder to cry on. If I had the inclination, it would be very lovely if I could possibly let that go".

"But I have this odd sense of it's not going to accomplish anything to cry. It's not going to help you to get a hug!".
