Angelina Jolie was reportedly rushed to hospital after her ankles swelled up on a flight across the US. The 32-year-old was travelling back to Los Angeles from the Texas set of partner Brad Pitt’s film Tree of Life when she began to feel “really wobbly”.
An insider is quoted as saying in Life & Style, “Her legs were swelling and she was getting really wobbly and starting to feel sick.” The pilot considered making an emergency landing but the actress “insisted they continue on to LA so she could see her own doctor”. Jolie is rumoured to be suffering from gestational diabetes.
Angelina Jolie was rushed to the doctor after an ankle injury caused her legs to swell. Jolie, who is reputedly 6 months pregnant with twins, was in Texas filming the adventure film Tree of Life at the time of the injury, so decided to fly home to LA to have it checked out by her own physician.
“At first she thought it was just a twisted ankle or something,” an insider tells Life and Style magazine. “But everyone was worried because of the pregnancy and previous problems she’s had with leg swelling. “Angelina didn’t want to take any chances, and everyone agreed. Brad was really worried.”
But a couple of hours into their flight to Burbank, Calif., on April 17, Jolie’s injury turned into something even more serious, and the pain began to worsen. “Her legs were swelling,” adds the insider, “and she was getting really wobbly and starting to feel sick.” The pain then grew so severe Brad and Angelina considered making an emergency landing in their private Gulfstream jet. “Angelina’s medical team had advised her to head to the nearest medical facility if the situation got worse,” said the insider.
But the ‘Tomb Raider’ star insisted they continue on to LA so she could see her own doctor. Shortly after 3 p.m., the jet landed at Burbank airport, where a fleet of blacked-out SUVs were waiting, along with Angie’s physician. The Jolie-Pitts were rushed to their home in Los Feliz, where a team of nurses was also waiting for them.

HOLD the front page - a pregnant woman is stressed. You know that it's a quiet week when the glossies have no option but to revert to that old chestnut, Angelina Jolie's baby bump.
It's not new, and the twins it is rumoured to house are showing no signs of checking out any time soon, but there are covers to fill and magazines to sell, so who better to splash with than Hollywood's most prolific kiddy-collector since Mia Farrow.
Famous reports Brangelina are shelling out $20,000 a month to lease a secluded ranch in Texas, which they are turning into a high-security fortress as the birth approaches. While babydaddy Brad Pitt works nearby on a new movie, Ange "may be suffering heartburn", an obstetrician reveals. NW has found a way to rehash the serial adoptress's murky past, saying she is plagued by concerns her sproglets may grow up to be addicted to drugs or sex. In other words, they should fit right in in La La Land.
"She's terrified of what DNA she's going to pass on to her babies," a source said. Even if they are head cases, at least the little mites are unlikely to be forced to wade in the shallow end of the beauty gene pool.
From ladypilot to man eater, Jennifer Aniston has assumed the mantle of a suicide risk with really good hair. She is pictured strolling on a beach reading a script with her Marley & Me co- star, Owen Wilson. Famous reports that pals of Wilson, who last year apparently tried to kill himself, fear he's not in the right place emotionally for a new romance, "not least with a woman with Jen's romantic history".
Why has the former Friends star been labelled a relationship no-go zone? Has she stalked her man-prey or forced them to colour co-ordinate outfits at awards nights? No, nothing so heinous. Turns out she just managed to accumulate a couple of exes by the time she hit 39, thereby ruling her out of girlfriend material contention.
This week's Who springs to her defence with an Elephant Man-inspired cover proclaiming: "I am not a victim". She may not be, but one rumoured beau, the Sex And The City actor Jason Lewis, deserves our sympathy. "Jason was trying to look hot but he had a major spray-tan going on," an observer remarked.Meanwhile, there is trouble in TomKat paradise, with photos of Scientology's favourite gnome embracing a mystery brunette. Woman's Day sees NW's brunette and raises it a blonde, showing Tom Cruise kissing a second woman behind a bush. The bigger mystery is that he looks taller than both women. A trick of the lens perhaps.
Angelina Jolie may be very pregnant but the one time vampy Hollywood sweetheart still understands that there is nothing like a little make up sex to ease the tensions between partners, a report from the National Enquirer claims. According to the published report Brad Pitt was not very happy with Jolie jetting off to Iraq and he is also not pleased with the lack of time joie is spending with him of late, the report claims. Back to Mr. and Mrs. Smith for Angelina Jolie?
“Things were rough enough between Angelina and Brad before she became pregnant. But lately, she’s been a bundle of nerves and feeling incredibly insecure about her looks,” an insider told The Enquirer. With four kids and twins on the way, “they’ve also had problems finding enough ‘alone time’ for each other. Due to her pregnancy and all the anxiety, their sex life has suffered.” But Jolie paid a visit to an adult store and picked up some pretty wild items to spice things up according to the magazine.
"Angelina spent about 30 minutes browsing in the Coco de Mer store on Melrose Avenue. She bought a peek-a-boo black bra, plus special tape used for bondage games," said a source. (She also bought one other item, which is even more personal and better left unprinted, the story from the Enquirer claims!). Back to Mr. and Mrs. Smith for Angelina Jolie? The chatty insider claims, "Angelina feels sex is the only way to ease the fighting with Brad. So she put together a little bag of tricks to keep him busy in bed." It surely can't hurt.
