Morning Mail! Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Fooling Us?

Dear Ted:
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie "will continue their relaysh on their own terms" and "not like they were told." Um, OK. They do realize nobody is actually trying to instruct them on how to run their relationship, right? Given Angie manages to wedge her sexuality into a conversation every chance she gets (even her emotional meltdowns happen when she's in a shower with Brad), this just sounds like more promo on their part. They are such rebels etc., etc. OK guys, we get it! You're hotter and more daring than us and you're happier for it.

Dear Brangelina-itis:
Sorry babe, but this is Hollywood so don't be foolish in thinking no one's instructing the duo on how to run their relaysh. They're the hottest couple in Tinseltown and tabloid gold (especially during Oscar season). As for your sexuality claim? Angie was explaining her emotional meltdown while directing In the Land of Blood and Honey, she was hardly flaunting sexual prowess. And while you might keep hatin', we're uber-excited to see the duo rock the red carpet ('cause let's be real, they are hotter than the rest of us).

Jonah Hill gave an understated performance playing Peter Brand in 'Moneyball' and it resulted in an Oscar nomination …
"Moneyball" the movie continues to surprise and excel. It received six Academy Award nominations Monday, including four biggies: best picture, lead actor (Brad Pitt), supporting actor (Jonah Hill), adapted screenplay, film editing and sound mixing. It's a shame that Bennett Miller wasn't nominated for directing, and the real snub was Wally Pfister missing for cinematography, yet it's still amazing that Hollywood even produced a non-fiction project about a baseball team that doesn't win the World Series. Not only has "Moneyball" grossed $75 million, but it's also on the verge of being an Oscar winner. What are its chances of winning one?
The Bovada sports book in Las Vegas is taking bets on the elite categories (h/t Jimmy Shapiro of Sports Radio Interviews) and they give "Moneyball" 30-to-1 odds to win best picture. It could shock the world — as there isn't a crystal-clear frontrunner — but the only longer shot among the nine nominees is "Tree of Life" at 50-1. Pitt, at 10-to-1 for lead actor, is the third choice after George Clooney and Jean Dujardin. It seems like Clooney's moment.

Are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Kids Destined to Be Stars? Grandpa Jon Voight Weighs In!

From the way Jon Voight gushes over his grandchildren (ya know, the babes of the world's most famous power couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) you would never know he and daughter Angie had a six-year falling out.
And we're so relieved they've worked it all out, because who else better to spill some dish on all those cute kiddos…well, besides Brangelina themselves, of course!
So, does Grandpa Jon think any of the adorable tots have a future in H'wood?

Definitely!
When we asked Jon whether he saw a future in acting for his grandkids, he responded without any hesitation:
"I do actually," he spilled with a smirk at the G'Day USA Black Tie Gala Saturday night.
No surprise there! After all, acting definitely runs in the genes of this famous fam and we would love to see any of the adorable kiddos on the big screen.
So did Jon reveal which one of the brood is most likely to fill ma and pa's giant acting shoes?
"I don't want to say, but I have a feeling that they will," he admitted. "I have no doubt."

And even though he refused to dish any specifics on the kids, we had to ask G-pa if he has any fears for the young ones if they do decide to try their hand at entertainment—especially since Angelina has never been shy about her troubled time as a young actress.
But rest assured, Mr. Voight suggests just the opposite:
"Hollywood should be afraid of them," he gushed. "These guys are really something."
All together now: Awwww!
Voight continues: "I try to give them support as Brad and Angie do…they really let these kids be who they are."
Too friggin' cute, right?! If only we could fast forward to the days when adorable Shiloh and Zahara will strut the red carpet—here's hoping!
