How Did His First Four Wives Let Him Slip Away?
She’s Billy Bob Thornton’s fifth wife, but Angelina Jolie isn’t admitting any doubts about their marriage’s life expectancy.
The Oscar-winning actress, who got hitched to Thornton on May 5 in Vegas, says, “I’m crazy about him. … He’s just the sexiest creature that ever lived. … I am madly in love with this man till the day I die.”
Jolie tells Chris Connelly in the next issue of Talk that, playing Thornton’s wife in “Pushing Tin,” “I just went on with my life, but I never really forgot (him.)”
She swears their friendship became a love affair only recently, which may be small comfort to Thornton’s former girlfriend Laura Dern. But Jolie says she just couldn’t help herself. “I was shocked at the way I reacted (to Thornton),” says Jolie.
It might have been different had the admittedly bisexual Jolie been dating Dern. “I have loved women in my life, but I don’t cheat on them.”

Mothers marching for gun control this weekend in Washington, D.C., have an unexpected ally: gun-toting balladeer Pat Boone. “Anyone who has a weapon that can kill somebody ought to have it registered,” Boone said. “Some people have this idea that our government will come and take all our guns away. I don’t think that will ever happen.” Boone, who owns a single-shot pistol and a Colt .45, says he’s attending the event because he believes it’s “ridiculous for ordinary citizens to have automatic weapons - Uzis, the kind of things that are designed to kill people in warfare. That kind of gun control we need. It just makes common sense.”
Please, tell us how you really feel
No one can accuse author/screenwriter William Goldman of being too shy, or too forgiving. The Oscar-winning writer of “All The President’s Men” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” recently shared some frank thoughts about Steven Spielberg with Empire magazine. Of “Saving Private Ryan,” Goldman, 68, says: “I think the last hour, once they find Private Ryan, is as bad as a movie can be. … I think it’s a shockingly bad movie. And shockingly easy patriotism.”
The fine will sting but the lawsuit will probably really hurt
Actress Halle Berry was fined $13,500 and placed on three years’ probation Wednesday after pleading no contest to leaving the scene of an accident. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charles G.
