Man, this is a gem. Thanks to Defamer for catching it. It comes via Variety on the Town, the new blog from Variety. The setting is the God Grew Tired of Us premiere, a Brad Pitt-produced film about children who walk for five years to escape a war-torn Sudan.

The reporter poses this simple question to Pitt: “Is civil war still going on in the Sudan?”

After several years of relative silence, we have our good ol’, rambling, Billy-Bob’s-blood-in-a-vial-around-my-neck, yeah-we-just-humped-in-the-car, what-else-do-you-want-to-know Angelina Jolie back on the publicity circuit. She continues to give noteworthy interviews, and she doesn’t hold back.

Jolie gave an interview to the UK’s Elle magazine, and she talked about the different relationships she has with her children.

“I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her…I met my other kids when they were 6 months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this…Yes, a blob! But now she’s starting to have a personality…I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”

And, of course, she throws her usual salt in Jen Aniston’s wound while talking about Brad:

“We came together because we’re similar. We didn’t become similar after…He’s a really amazing father – he didn’t just become that around me. You could say he changed me. I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant. I’m the one that got knocked up! So if you look at it that way, it was me who had the reversal.”

Check out more highlights of the interview (including Jolie’s opinion on Madonna’s recent adoption) here.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spent Christmas with Colombian refugees in Costa Rica, while Jennifer Aniston lit holiday cigarettes with $100 bills and stirred vodka into her hot cocoa using the bones of the orphan children she’s trapped and killed.

Check out the footage from her Diane Sawyer interview. Argh. I hate that she’s so completely likable now. I have to hand it to her, she’s really done a good job of turning this whole “evil homewrecking slut” thing into “look at me I wear cream and adopt African orphans and raise them in a stable home and speak about it eloquently while wearing flattering and age-appropriate eye make-up.”

Well played, Angie. Well played.

I also like her reference to “sliding doors,” which was, you’ll recall, the title of a film starring Brad’s former fiancee, Gwen Paltrow. A Freudian slip, mayhaps?

The Good Shephard has been very good indeed to the celebrity gossip community, as it’s forced Angelina Jolie to hit the interview circuit. Everywhere she stops she drives her skinny, beautiful, successful stake further into Jennifer Aniston’s heart. Yesterday’s brutalities took place on Good Morning America, where she shared with the world the trials and tribulations of adopting children from around the world and raising them with Brad Pitt.

“I want Mad (Maddox) to know that as our family grew and we all came together, we didn’t just start having children, biological children. Yes, we have Shiloh and it’s been a wonderful experience, but we want to find another brother or sister in the world for our family. I’m on the pill. You know, now the questions are more when you have a mixed-race family, do you balance the races so there’s another African person in the house for Z? So there’s another Asian person in the house for Mad? Shiloh has Brad and I she can look at. What’s best for the children as they grow? … We don’t just want to have different children from different countries. That’s not the point.”

I think we all should fear Angelina Jolie just a little bit. Not in the way that cripples thought, but more like a “I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to nuts. My throat is constricting. This Apple Brown Betty has nuts in it doesn’t it?” sort of thing.

Well, she’s given me a little more reason not to mess with her in an interview with Vogue. Personal aside, why is she doing interviews with Vogue? Aren’t they part of the system? Have they adopted children I’m not aware of? Rant over.

Jolie initially denies that she has met Aniston, but she clarifies herself. “We’ve, like, passed each other and said ‘hi’ briefly, shook hands. But not a real sit-down-and-talk kind of meeting.” Will they have a proper meeting? “That would be her decision, and I would welcome it.”

Sigh. Now I have more questions. What exactly would a proper meeting entail? “Yeah, so anyway, Brad and I are traveling the globe in search of new children we can both take care of. He said life with you was hell. We done here?”

I mean this is a chick who has sported a vial of blood around her neck. I don’t think Jen is looking to grab a quick mochachino. Hell, I’m shocked she even survived the hand shake.
