Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have conquered Hollywood with their numerous hit movies, but the A-list power couple are looking to add wine making to their list.

The two have recently collaborated with French winemaker Marc Perrin to produce Miraval wine, named after their french estate, beginning with their 2012 harvest.

Pitt and Jolie first rented the Chateau Miraval in Correns, southern France in 2008 and have since purchased the property, which holds 148 acres of vines.

The Miraval wine will be on the market in March while their white wines will begin arriving by the end of this summer.

Angelina Jolie Says Her Kids' Poop Keeps Her Grounded

Jan 24, 2013 08:55 AM

Angelina Jolie is one of the world's most glamourous women, but she insists that she's just like everybody else!

In a new interview with British magazine Total Film, the actress explains how her brood of six put everything in perspective. "The great thing about having a bunch of kids is they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop. That's who you are!" she joked.

That's one way of looking at it!

The Oscar winner is still in awe of her happy home life with partner Brad Pitt, and feels grateful she's been blessed with her offspring.

"It's like my children. Especially when you adopt in some countries. All my other children were just, 'This is the child that's been chosen for you.' I suppose it's like a child you give birth to, as you can't have a say in it. I see that when I look at my kids. It just seems to be right. It's hard to understand how it could unfold so beautifully," she added.

She certainly seems settled these days!

Angelina Jolie Vows To Quit Acting To Spend More Time With Her Kids

Dec 4, 2012 12:12 PM

Angelina Jolie recently sat down with Channel 4 News to chat about her humanitarian work and her Hollywood career, and she revealed that she has plans to quit acting in the next few years!

Angie told the show, "I think I'm going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, anyway, too much to manage at home. I have enjoyed being an actress."

The Oscar winner continued, "I am so grateful to the job and I have had great experiences and I have even be able to tell stories and be a part of stories that mattered and I have done things for fun, but...I will do some films and I am so fortunate to have the job, it's a really lucky profession to be a part of and I enjoy it. But if it went away tomorrow I would be very happy to be home with the children. I wake up in the morning as a mom and I turn on the news like everybody else and I see what's happening and I want to be part of the world in a positive way."

Just last year her fiance Brad Pitt said in an interview that he was planning on giving up acting for directing by the time he turns 50. "If I'm choosing a film now I want it to be, maybe, less immature than things I've done in the past," he said. "I'm very conscious that they're going to see it as adults. I want it to mean something to them. I want them to think: 'Dad's all right'. It changes everything."

So what about their upcoming wedding? Brad told People at the New York premiere of Killing Them Softly, "The time is nigh. It's soon. I got a good feeling about it. I am getting more pressure from my kids, and it is something I want to do within their lifetime, but I also feel like the time has come."

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Win Wrongful Termination Lawsuit In France

Nov 13, 2012 02:15 PM

brangie-miraval-suit-460.jpg

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have won a lawsuit filed by their former assistant at Chateau Miraval, X17online can report exclusively.

Ana Luisa Charlotiaux was hired as a part-time employee in 2008, but she was fired in February of 2010 for her frequent absences, which Brad and Angelina's legal team claimed "disrupted their business function at Chateau Miraval."

Charlotiaux, who is bi-lingual, was one of the four assistants on staff (there were 18 salaried employees total), and her duties included handling mail and phone calls. She worked at the estate before Brad and Angelina moved in, so they acquired her from the previous owners.

Charlotiaux filed a suit for wrongful termination, and though the lawsuit was thrown out, she hasn't given up yet, as she is reportedly set to appeal the judge's decision.

Despite the win, Brad and Angelina's attorneys petitioned the court to fine Charlotiaux 5,000 Euros for filing a "frivolous lawsuit" but their request was denied.

Nothing like a little last minute Halloween shopping!

On Sunday Angelina Jolie took Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne costume shopping at a party store in Sherman Oaks, and we were able to get a peek into one of their bags, and someone is going to dress as a gothic count this year. Perhaps Knox?

It looks like the Oscar winner also bought her youngest children some extra goodies -- Viv got a pair unicorn overalls, and her twin brother scored a large yellow crocodile.

P.S. We can't believe how big Shiloh is getting!

Angelina Jolie and her nanny were snapped at a local park in Hollywood yesterday, and while Angie spent most of her time in the passenger seat of her black SUV, we'd recognize her adorable twins Knox and Vivienne anywhere!

But what's with the soda? I guess Brad wasn't kidding when he said he gives his kids coca cola in the morning to wake them up. At least it's diet, but still! Given how much the family likes to go to McDonald's, is that really the healthiest thing for them to be consuming?
