Angelina Jolie's Brad charity pressure

Angelina Jolie wants Brad Pitt to sell his art collection and donate the money to charity.

The 'Changeling' actress, who has six children with Brad, doesn't share her lover's taste in art and has reportedly delivered an ultimatum to convince Brad to get rid of the pieces.

A source said: "Angelina hit the roof recently when Brad had another piece of art delivered to their home in Los Angeles. She wasn't happy. Angelina wants Brad to sell his art collection and give the money to charity. She says there are so many people who don't have the basic necessities, so collecting expensive baubles feels extravagant and selfish to her."

Brad, who has spent millions on his collection, has decorated their Los Angeles home with rare paintings, sculptures and furniture from all over the world.

The source added: "Angelina believes in supporting the arts, but she doesn't believe that people should be living with priceless objects. She wants to scale back on their possessions and lead a simple life."

Angelina Jolie: It's All About the Kids

Given the fact that Angelina Jolie is more often than not spotted with at least a few of her and Brad Pitt's six children in tow, it certainly comes as no surprise where her priorities lie.

"The center of my life is my kids," the Oscar winner tells the Los Angeles Times.

But she's quick to point out that it's not always easy having such a big brood.

"I woke up at 3 in the morning with four kids with jet lag and two babies," she says, recalling a recent trip to Hollywood. "I put myself together for a few hours and go out. And then I go home. This is my job."

Not that she's complaining, mind you.

"I don't dislike it here," insists the globe-trotter, referring to Tinseltown. "I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I'm so fortunate that I get to do that."

In an interview with BBC, the 33-year-old star said has grown tired of juggling life in the limelight with her role as a mum-of-six.

"I don’t plan to keep acting very long. I’m ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day," she said.

Jolie and her partner actor Brad Pitt have emerged as a Hollywood power couple, and together they have three biological children and three adopted children.

Angelina Jolie "Wanted" to die

Angelina Jolie did not want to ride off into the sunset. At least, not when it came to portraying a sexed-up super assassin in the summer action hit "Wanted."

The Oscar-winning actress now says that she accepted the role of the sleek killer named Fox only after the filmmaker agreed to a crucial script revision: She didn't want her character still breathing when the final credits rolled. It was a major change from the story in the graphic novel of the same name but, as anyone familiar with both already knows, there were plenty of huge differences between Mark Millar's dark comic-book tale and the Hollywood adaptation.

"In the original, she doesn’t kill herself," Jolie said. "I actually changed the ending. I said, ‘If she was to find out she had killed people unjustly and was a part of something that wasn't fair, then she should take her own life.'"

Wanted

In a penthouse suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last week, during a conversation about her latest drama "The Changeling," Jolie got to talking about what had drawn her to the role of Fox, a member of a 1,000-year-old secret society that murders people who are destined to cause some unspecified tragedy in the future.

"I liked ‘Wanted’ because I liked the idea that she was somebody who believed she was delivering justice to bad people," Jolie said. “For instance, if you knew Hitler was coming and you could take him out, would you? I liked that."

"Wanted" director Timur Bekmambetov failed to mention the Jolie-requested ending when I interviewed him last summer. Jolie told me that she frames her choices to appear in bombastic popcorn thrillers like the "Tomb Raider" franchise and "Wanted" as a method of counter-balancing her more somber films.

"First of all, let’s not over-think it," Jolie said, her back to a panoramic view of the city’s glittering nighttime horizon. "It's an action movie. As much as I love to be home with my kids, it gives me an excuse to go out and by physical. To do different things. Too many films like 'The Changeling' or ‘A Mighty Heart’ and it takes a toll after a while. They’re so emotional!"

Angelina Jolie Would Quit Acting For Her Kids

Angelina Jolie says her days of seeking out the perfect movie role are long gone and she would gladly leave it all behind for her family.

The Changeling star – who recently emerged from four months hibernation with twins Vivienne and Knox – reveals that motherhood has changed her priorities.

She tells the New York Times, "As long as I can be with my family, it's fun.

Angelina Jolie considers partner Brad Pitt her best friend -- and feels blessed to have six children with him.

Jolie has three adopted kids and three biological tots -- including twins, born earlier this year-- with the actor.

And the 33-year-old reveals that newborns Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are developing features and personalities reminiscent of their famous parents.

She tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "It's so much fun but it's very hard work.

The kids are forming beautiful friendships. They're teammates and they're very loving to the babies.

"The twins are just the sweetest little things. They lay next to each other.

They're starting to smile a lot. Knox looks like Brad and Vivienne looks more like me. They are developing interesting personalities. Knox seems more relaxed and Vivienne is more loud."

And the actress feels lucky to have her extended brood, and relishes the time she spends in their company.

She adds: "I feel so blessed that every day I wake up and I live with my favorite people in the world and my best friend."
