The book, written by Andrew Morton alleges that Jolie betrayed mom Marcheline Bertrand, when she was just 16 years old.

British writer Andrew Morton, 57, has earlier written biographies of Princess Diana, Monica Lewinsky and Tom Cruise.

Morton's publisher St Martin's Press has announced that the sale of the unauthorised biography, 'Angelina', will start from August 3 under an "extremely tight embargo."

The 'Now' magazine has also reported that Angelina then struggled to rebuild her relationship with her mother, who died of cancer in 2007, after confessing to a night of passion with her boyfriend.

"Marcheline had a live-in boyfriend whom she was very much in love with, but Ange slept with him when she was 16 and barely out of school," a source has been quoted.

Angelina Jolie recently admitted that she still loved her ex Billy Bob Thornton and a report from Life & Style claims that proclamation has current beau and baby daddy Brad Pitt reeling.  One of the reasons given is the apparent ban for Brad Pitt on all things Jennifer Aniston.  The report cites an insider that says that Jolie doesn't like Brad bringing up any of his exes, especially ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, and even ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.

Pitt and Aniston were married and considered the 'Hollywood Golden Couple' when Brad went to work with Angelina on the 2005 film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".  By the time the movie hit theaters Jennifer and Brad had split and were in the process of getting a divorce and Brangelina (the coupling of Brad and Angie) was well underway.  So what gives with the Billy Bob confession?

The report from the weekly entertainment magazine claims that Angelina's confessions in the revealing EW interview "didn't go over too well in the Jolie-Pitt household," says an insider close to the couple.  "The Billy Bob stuff got under Brad's skin.  He felt it was too much and told Angie he thought it was inappropriate, but she just brushed it off."

Brad's especially annoyed, the insider says, because Angie hates when Brad talks about his exes.  "Angie gets crazy jealous and doesn't want to hear about (Jennifer) Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow or any other women Brad dated," the insider says.  "That's why you rarely hear him mention an ex in an interview."  Aniston usually pops into the picture when Brad and Angelina are promoting a movie and looking for a buzz.

As Angelina Jolie prepares for the birth of her twins, a report claims that there is already a bit of hospital drama surrounding the actresses demands for security during the delivery.  According to a report from the Enquirer, one of the world's top hospitals has delivered an ultimatum to mom to be Angelina Jolie:  "Drop your diva demands - or have you babies elsewhere!"

The article that is published this week claims that executives at the famed Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco were stunned when the Hollywood star presented a series of rules they were expected to follow if she decided to give birth there, say sources.

"She first sent emissaries to check out the facilities to see whether they were good enough for her," revealed a source in Monaco.  "Lawyers were brought in - it was like she was thrashing out a movie contract".  The final straw, says the source, was Angelina's demands for fortress-like security. 

Her plans included surrounding the hospital with ex-military bodyguards patrolling the grounds with two-way radios.  The hospital balked at the demands, according to the report, and though Jolie will get some separation form the rest of the patients but that is where the special treatment will end.

"It would have been very intimidating for patients and relatives visiting their loved ones," the source tells the National Enquirer. "The Princess Grace is a world-class facility but is open to all the inhabitants of Monaco.  It could not become a medical institution geared solely around the selfish needs of Angelina Jolie."

Angelina Jolie has revealed that she was scarred because she and her ex-boyfriend used to experiment with knives in bed when she was a teenager. The actress said it was her fascination for vampires that made her drive towards the weird experimentation at the age of 14, reports Showbizspy.com.

"When I was 14, I collected knives. My first boyfriend and I ended up getting into some fighting in bed and being silly. People think that happens every time I go to bed," The Daily Telegraph quoted her, as saying. "It was actually something he never wanted to do again. It was a mistake and we really hurt ourselves. It was just being young, you know, when you're curious about vampires and that kind of thing. Just experimenting. It was an accident and I ended up in hospital," she added.

The 'Wanted' star, reportedly married first husband, Jonny Lee Miller, wearing a shirt with his name written on it in her own blood. She and her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, wore vials of each other's blood around their necks.

Jolie has also told of how her interest in knives as a teenager left her with scars on her body.

The actress who is currently with Brad Pitt, with whom she's expecting twins says the incident, which caused scarring on her abdomen and thigh, happened when she was 14 and "curious about vampires," reports Showbizspy.com

She reveals, "When I was 14, I collected knives. My first boyfriend and I ended up getting into some fighting in bed and being silly. People think that happens every time I go to bed.

"It was actually something he never wanted to do again. It was a mistake and we really hurt ourselves. It was just being young, you know, when you're curious about vampires and that kind of thing. Just experimenting. It was an accident and I ended up in hospital."

The 'Wanted' star, 33, who also recently attended the premiere of her hit new animation flick Kung Fu Panda with co-star Jack Black in Cannes, reportedly married first husband, Jonny Lee Miller, wearing a shirt with his name written on it in her own blood.

She and her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, wore vials of each other's blood around their necks.

Superstar Angelina Jolie is a fiercely protective mom. "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I have no problem shooting them," she says. Spoken like a true bad-*ss mother (frankly, I'd defy any parent to deny they'd do the same to protect their kids).

Jolie, 33, who's expecting fraternal twin girls with hottie Brad Pitt, 44, says they have guns in their home to deal with harmful intruders. This makes sense, given their high profile and the millions of people who'd kill to get close to the Jolie-Pitts and their four adorable little kids. Indeed, rumors swirled months ago of a botched kidnapping attempt on their daughter, Shiloh, 2.

"Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one," Jolie tells London's Daily Mail. "And yes, I'd be able to use it if I had to. I could handle myself. I think there are certain combat skills that would come out....self-defense is important. Brad and I want our kids to learn it. They're going to get into a fight some day, so they might as well learn how to take care of themselves."

Jolie, who trained in martial arts and firearms to play action heroine Lara Croft in two box-office smashes of the same name, explains: "There's a side to me that people know is humanitarian, and there's a side to me that's a mommy. But there's also the side that likes to get down and dirty and run and jump around and fire guns. I don't want to lose touch with that."

Jolie plays an assassin in her upcoming action flick, Wanted. This is not the first time Jolie has played a hit (wo)man: she played one in the 2004 blockbuster, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where she met and fell in love with Pitt (who played her assassin-husband). Wanted comes out in theaters June 27.

If you are looking for a little light summer reading that involves all of your favorite Hollywood people, Jules Asner may have a little offering for you that even includes the inevitable Jennifer Aniston versus Angelina Jolie battle.  For good measure the new mystery titled "Whacked" gets in more Hollywood celebs as well along with what siunds like some interesting twists and turns.
The book will be released in the first week in June and Amazon notes that Asner, an ex-model and wife of director Steven Soderbergh and E! Entertainment Television personality debuts with "a dishy mix of Tinseltown hackdom, chick lit and, surprisingly, a chilling plot. Dani Hale is an L.A. TV writer for crime show Flesh and Bone who has an inordinate interest in all things forensic one shared by technical adviser Rich Pisani, a retired LAPD cop."

"Dani hacks into e-mails and cellphones to alleviate hers. After discovering Dave has been cheating on her, Dani plots revenge on him, freckled harlot-starlet Chloe and office boor Evil Janet, but things quickly spiral out of control. Asner juggles horror and giggles and wraps it up with a subtle kicker, and though Rich's role is underwritten, the novel is still tons of fun."

It sounds like fun.  The New York Daily News notes that Drew Barrymore pops into the novel as well along with comments about Jolie's breasts.  In the battle of Jennifer vs. Angelina Jules appears to have sided with Jen.  After the shot at Jolie in the book, Jules adds, "Jen is the sweetest, nicest person in the world. I'd only mention her in a great capacity."

Surely everyone loves to see Angelina Jolie in a bikini, right?  They used to.  The one time voluptuous Hollywood starlet used to fill out a swimsuit with the best of them and she dripped with sexuality.  But since she took up with Brad Pitt that seems to have dripped away. Meanwhile, her one time love rival Jennifer Aniston continues to wow her fans with new bikini photos each week.

Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie split man fans into camps three years ago when Jolie swooped in and devoured Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  After many denials it was finally revealed that the Hollywood "Golden Couple" of Jennifer and Brad were finished.  Pitt would then try all sorts of denials about the affair with Jolie and still does to this day but they certainly wound up together right after the film.

Jennifer Aniston seemed to move on quite quickly and even as the pressure mounted for her to trash Jolie and or Pitt she took to the high road and said very little about the reason behind what really broke up her five-year marriage.  But both Jolie And Pitt have used Jennifer from time to time and draw her name out when they have promotions for films to create a bit of a buzz.

There have been reports from the tabloids citing friends of Brad Pitt as insiders that have claimed that he still logs on to see the fabulous bikini body of his ex-wife.  She has certainly given him an eyeful of late with some stunning celebrity photos of Jen's toned body in the pool with her new beau John Mayer. 

And now it appears that Jolie is following suit by donning a suit.  The very pregnant mom to be has been snapped in a black bikini showing off her huge baby bump.  Is Jolie still that obsessed with Jennifer that she is trying to mimic her with these new shots?  The photos are here at Pop Sugar, do we get to blame Jennifer for this bikini photos display?

ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt's tactic of avoiding the paparazzi by commuting across the south of France by helicopter has the locals hot under the collar.

In the past week it seems, the Pitt-Jolies buzzed Mont-Blanc ... "overlooking glaciers sick (because) of global warming", flew around the French Riviera and the Alpilles above a "nest of paparazzi" who can earn over $130,000 for photos of the pregnant superstar.
Here's a translation of a Toulon regional travel blog, maville.com, dated May 11, by Jean-François Roubaud, who wants to know how Jolie, the crusader for third-world and environmental causes, justifies her pollution of France's beautiful countryside via helicopter commuting.

"Rather than continuing to give us lessons in ecology, Angelina and Brad would be better to lead by example instead take a helicopter for a yes for a no." - the blog writer says.

Their decoy cars and ploys cause havoc as the paparazzi chase down every dead-end lead, Jean-François says.

And still Splash managed to snap them enjoying a day out at the beach after other paparazzi fell for decoys - apparently.

"As a result, determined to live happily, so hidden, Angelina, Brad and the whole family prefer to fly above this nest of paparazzi ... leaves a terrible pass for polluters."

He also takes a dig at the couple's decision to pull out of a real estate deal to buy Eygalieres for $32.9m last summer after Pitt was refused permission to build a motorcycle track.

Pitt obviously needs to have a little chat with Johnny Depp, who moved to France many years ago, about fitting in with the locals.
