According to dailymail.co.uk, Jolie is apparently not very happy with Aniston still being close to Pitt. Reports claim that Jolie sent the messages from Pitt's mobile and signed off with the initials AJ.
There are reports that Aniston has been sending gifts to Pitt at his office in Los Angele. She is trying to stay close to her ex-husband just in case his relationship with Jolie doesn't work out.
"Jen is such a thoughtful person. She sends little gifts to his Plan B production offices in LA if she spots something he might like. And she'll send him daily motivators - quotes from self-help books she reads about staying positive. It must really lift his spirits," said a source close to them.
Angelina Jolie's breast-feeding pictures in the November issue of W magazine have reportedly left Brad Pitts parents upset.
Star magazine reported that while father Bill Pitt refused to talk about the published photos, mum Jane Pitt has been displeased with the way the couples kids have been used for advertisement purposes.
Fox News quoted the magazine, "Brad’s dad won't talk about it that means he’s upset.
"Brad’s mom feels they're using their children as a marketing campaign tool and thinks it’s unacceptable.
The pictures of the actress, who had posed for the cover of the American fashion magazine while breast-feeding one of her 3-month-old twins, had been shot by Brad in mid-August at their French Chateau Miraval.
Angelina Jolie is concerned that her eldest son Maddox, 8, who is now old enough to use the internet, will soon come across sexy pictures of her.
"He will look up my name and see some kind of sexy pictures or read a story about himself that isn't true. There's a lot we're going to have to explain to them about how public their family is," the 33-year-old Changeling star told the New York Times in an interview.
The inevitability notwithstanding, Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are enjoying their parenting experience.
Jolie says she would like to add her film Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) to the list of nearly three dozen movies that her children have seen because "not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love."
"What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool," she added. "Because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad."
"Even video games, you know, it's, 'Mom, you can't play this. You won't know how.' Oh, they all think I can't do anything, that I'm just there to snuggle with. But the other day Madd said, 'Can you do a cartwheel?' And I said, 'Yeah, I can.' And he was like, 'Wow, Mom.' And I thought: 'Oh, yeah. I can do some things. You wait. You'll find out. I'm capable.'"
Jolie reiterated her plans to adopt more children with Pitt.
"I mean, I know we seem crazy, just bringing them in one after the other, but we do plan. We make sure one is absorbed completely into the family before we add another. There are moments when we look at everyone around the dinner table, and it's just crazy, but our family is the greatest thing we've done in our lives."
She has recently whipped up an internet storm after being photographed climbing in and out of cars without any underwear.
The 25-year-old's new best friend, hotel heiress Paris Hilton, only managed fifth place in Yahoo's Buzz Index list of the most searched-for terms in 2006.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger came second in the list and former US President Bill Clinton was third, followed by his wife Hillary.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's tot Shiloh had to settle for second place.
David Banda, the Malawian toddler Madonna wants to adopt, came sixth.
The most searched-for World Cup player was Ronaldinho, who beat David Beckham into second place. Wayne Rooney was at number 10.
The top news story was the death of crocodile hunter Steve Irwin at the hands of a stingray.
The most searched-for film was Spider-Man 3 - which doesn't come out until next year.
The money will go to the UN Refugee Agency, the International Rescue Committee and the international NGO, and SOS Children's Villages via the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
UNHCR's Regional Representative for the United States and the Caribbean, Michel Gabaudian, praised the couple’s donation, and said that it showed that it went a long way in showing people in the region that they had not been forgotten.
“This generous donation comes just months after Angelina Jolie made a personal visit to a refugee camp in Chad and it shows, once again, her and Brad Pitts’ commitment to helping refugees and the displaced. As Goodwill Ambassador, Ms. Jolie’s continued support of UNHCR and those we seek to help is a powerful force in ensuring they are not forgotten,” Us Weekly quoted him, as saying.
George Rupp, president of the International Rescue Committee, added: "This donation will make a real difference in the lives of thousands of vulnerable people. We are grateful to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for remembering them."
Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, has visited Darfur thrice, the most recent trip being in late February.
On that trip, she met staff from SOS Children's Villages at the Oure-Cassoni refugee camp.
Speaking about her experience, Jolie had said at the time that she was "struck by the sense of hope she encountered and by the widespread desire for peace-keepers to be deployed in eastern Chad."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been left stunned by news of a plot to kidnap their newly adopted son Pax Thien, according to US reports.
Jolie's security team learned of a plot to abduct the three-year-old Vietnamese boy as the actress made plans to return to America on March 19th, according to the new issue of Life & Style magazine.
An insider close to the couple's security team tells the publication that Pitt and Jolie's publicists are playing down the threat, but reveals the kidnap plot was credible and meticulously planned by a deadly gang.
The source says, "They're highly skilled operatives with little regard for human life. Information came out that leaders of the gang ordered their LA members to devise a plan to kidnap Pax before demanding a ransom of $100million - equal to the profit from a year of drug dealing - for his safe return.
Brad and Angie would have a number of days to hand over the money or risk the boy's life."

Angelina Jolie has apologised for bringing the glare of publicity onto her newly adopted Vietnamese son.
Speaking in an interview with Ho Chi Minh City newspaper Phap Luat, Jolie said: "I want to say sorry for bringing this into Pax's life."
The three-year-old boy has been renamed Pax Thien, the Latin for peace and Vietnamese word for heaven.
The film star added she would stay at home to help the boy, who speaks no English, settle into his new life.
'Most important thing'
"We have to learn to adapt to each other and study each other's languages," Jolie told the newspaper.
"I have four children, and caring for them is the most important thing for me now," added the 31-year-old Oscar winner.
Jolie has already adopted two children, from Cambodia and Ethiopia, and last year she gave birth to a daughter, Shiloh, with actor partner Brad Pitt.
The actress, a United Nations goodwill ambassador, vowed to pay regular visits to Vietnam.
"To the best of my ability, I want to understand more about your country and see what I can do to help," she said.
Angelina Jolie is a proud new mom once again, now that her adoption of a 3-year-old Vietnamese boy is official, Jolie's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
The boy's name is Pax Thien Jolie, born in November 2003, according to the orphanage where he has lived. His name means Peaceful Sky – Pax is peace in Latin and Thien is sky in Vietnamese.
Jolie's rep says she took custody of the child on Thursday in Vietnam. They will remain in the country for about a week while the child's American passport is processed, the rep says.
The boy had been living at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City ever since he was abandoned at a hospital as a baby, according to adoption officials. Shortly after he arrived at the facility, staff attempted to locate his birth parents, but to no avail.
Jolie went to the orphanage Thursday morning with her 5-year-old son Maddox, whom she adopted in Cambodia in 2002. Jolie's companion Brad Pitt did not accompany them to Vietnam.
"Brad very much wanted to be there but is under contract working on a film in Los Angeles and as a result couldn't go," Trevor Neilson, Jolie's adviser on international affairs, tells PEOPLE.
About two dozen children in traditional ao dai formal garb greeted them and offered flowers at the orphanage. Jolie left carrying the boy to a waiting van.
"He is in good health," orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung told the Associated Press, adding that the boy gets along with the other children and likes playing soccer. "He is a little bit shy."
Trung also said Jolie's adoption was swiftly processed because the boy is older and his files were already nearly complete.
Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie applied solo – but she and Pitt together will welcome their new Vietnamese child to their family, which along with Maddox includes Zahara, 2, and 10-month-old Shiloh. The adoption was a "process that began shortly after Shiloh was born [in May]," a source told PEOPLE in a recent cover story.
As for why Vietnam was selected in the first place, Jolie has traveled extensively in Southeast Asia and has visited the country at least twice – including, with Pitt, last Thanksgiving.
After adopting Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia, she mused to Good Morning America in December that it might be a good idea to "balance the races so there's another African person in the house for Z [and] another Asian person in the house for Mad."
Angelina Jolie has slammed pop superstar Madonna for adopting Malawian child David Banda in an "illegal" manner.
Jolie, who has two adopted children of her own, thinks Madonna went about finding a child to adopt in the wrong way.
Madonna brought one-year-old David to the U.K. from his home country of Malawi late last year. He will stay with Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie for 18 months before Malawian officials decide whether or not they are legally able to adopt the child.
In an interview with French magazine Gala, Jolie says, "Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born. It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption.
"Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal."
However, Jolie believes Madonna's intentions were good and is amazed at the media reaction to her adoption.
She adds, "I have been horrified by the attacks she's been subjected to. All that should count is the happiness of her little David."
A North Carolina artist intrigued by the public's obsession with celebrity has found herself feeding that obsession with a painting of actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary hovering over a Wal-Mart checkout line.
Kate Kretz has painted for 20 years but none of her previous works has garnered the attention given Blessed Art Thou, which was to show at Art Miami 2007 beginning yesterday. One reason for the attention was a posting of the painting on the popular gossip site, www.perezhilton.com.
"My intention was to ask a question and get people to think," Kretz said in a telephone interview yesterday from Miami. "I had no idea so many people would be asking a question and thinking."
The attention is startling for Kretz, who doesn't watch much television and never read tabloids until she began doing research for this painting. "I'm looking at it from the point of view from somebody from another planet - what is this about, this is so strange."
The painting - acrylic and oil on linen - depicts an angelic Jolie in the clouds, holding her newborn daughter Shiloh with children Maddox and Zahara at her legs. Below them is a checkout line at Wal-Mart, where women wait in line. The painting is for sale for $50,000 through Chelsea Galleria in Miami, which represents Kretz.
On her blog, Kretz said the painting speaks to "the celebrity worship cycle." She said she chose Jolie for the subject "because of her unavoidable presence in the media, the worldwide anticipation of her child, her 'unattainable' beauty and the good that she is doing in the world through her example, which adds another layer to the already complicated questions surrounding her status."
Kretz, 43, was an associate professor at Florida International University for 10 years before moving to Burlington, about 50 miles west of Raleigh, last year with her new husband.
With the popularity of Blessed Art Thou, her blog, which used to average 30 unique viewers daily, is getting more attention from strangers these days with 15,000 unique views Wednesday.
Blake Gopnik, an art critic for The Washington Post asked to comment about Blessed Art Thou on a Post blog, said that the painting's message is too obvious.
"It's more like a puzzle-picture than a probing work of art: Once you've deciphered it, there's not much chance of giving it a second look," Gopnik wrote. "Its van-art technique, especially, is so generic that it hardly has a thing to say that hasn't been said a thousand times before - often, much better."
But Kretz's experience so far is that the painting isn't so easily decipherable - opinions posted on her blog range from people who think she's deifying celebrities to those who believe she's making fun of the culture that deifies them.
"Kate, I love the painting and I love even more what it says to me," one person wrote. "This is very inspiring. The weird world of the celebrity cult fascinates me and repulses me at the same time. There is nothing stranger than the spaces, premises and concepts of the world we live in."
But another said, "I'm feeling a bit of resentment towards the artist for being yet one more media person to shove Jolie's useless visage in my face."
Kretz, who was raised Catholic and often uses church imagery in her work, said that the painting has become a lightning rod on the subject of celebrity culture.
"Whatever people want to foist on the painting, they are foisting on to the painting," she said.
Black dress is all time favorite of celebs. No doubt black dress adds sexy and stylish look to individual’s personality. That’s why black dress is a key-element in every celeb’s wardrobe.

Actress Angelina Jolie believes that adoptive parents prove better when it comes to raising a child than biological ones, because they have to pass through several stringent tests before qualifying to bring a child into their home.
Jolie's background and personality was thoroughly scrutinised before being granted permission to adopt Maddox, five, and Zahara,one.
But when she gave birth to baby girl Shiloh Nouvel earlier this year (06), she didn't have to prove her suitability as a mother to anyone.
"It should be hard to be a parent period. I go through many things to adopt. I'm finger-printed, I'm checked, I go through home studies. I have to prove I'm a decent citizen; a good human being," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
"That didn't happen to me when I gave birth, so it's interesting that there's no background check when you bring a child into your home in that way," she added.
Jolie shares the custody of her two adopted kids with actor Brad Pitt, who is also the father of her infant daughter Shiloh.
Meanwhile, the Girl Interrupted actress has laughed off rumours that she's pregnant again, telling Good Morning America that she's on the pill because she and partner Brad Pitt intend to adopt more children in the future.
In an exclusive interview in the new issue of PEOPLE, Angelina Jolie talks about her brood with Brad Pitt – and admits she's "the disciplinarian" of the family.
Jolie, 31, says that she and Pitt, 43, have different parenting styles when it comes to Maddox, 5; Zahara, who turns 2 on Jan. 8; and Shiloh, 7 months: "I am the disciplinarian," she says. "Brad can be, but if Z doesn't get the bottle from me, she'll very quickly run to Daddy."
Asked which of the three kids rules the Jolie-Pitt roost, she says, "I bet if you asked Brad, he'd say Zahara. Mad is very smart, but he's got a certain sense of calm. Zahara is possibly the funniest person I've ever met in my life. So dramatic and creative and loud and charming. She's definitely the biggest personality in the house."
As parents, what makes them most proud? "Somebody said to us recently that they were happy kids, and we talked about how much that meant to us to hear. And they're good kids. God knows how we managed to do that – but they're good kids."
Jolie admits that their humanitarian and film work creates a somewhat nomadic existence for their family. "It's hard, and maybe one day we'll have to stay in one place," she says. "I'm sure (the kids are) going to be 18 and say, 'God, I just want to stay in one place.' They'll never want to leave home!"
But for now, they're not slowing down. On Wednesday, after the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announced plans to indict suspects for atrocities in Darfur, Jolie released a
statement urging Americans to support the effort: "The Prosecutor is offering justice."
And through the couple's work with organizations such as the Cambodian Health Committee and Global Action for Children, they're working to create in their children a sense of pride in their homelands: Cambodia for Maddox; Ethiopia for Zahara.
On a recent visit to Cambodia, where the couple are sponsoring a relief project in Maddox's name, "He recognized himself in the people," Jolie says of her son. "Which is a wonderful thing."
For the first time, Angelina Jolie has described what happened between her and Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith – and she insists she never had any intention of breaking up his marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
When she first met her costar on the set of the thriller in 2003, "I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life," Jolie, 31, says in the January issue of Vogue, according to excerpts published in the New York Post. "But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects.
"And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives. … I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't. I was quite content to be a single mom."
But "Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from … the media," she says.
"Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work.' … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair."
They didn't start thinking about a relationship right away, she says. "It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."
The two remained "very, very good friends" from the time the movie wrapped in 2004 until after Pitt and Aniston announced their separation in January 2005, Jolie says.
Jolie says that the time she spent getting to know Pitt before his split was "not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things.
"And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends – with this realization – for a long time," she says. "And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do."
In fact, it was her son, Madddox, now 5, who helped seal the deal. (Jolie and Pitt are also parents to Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months.) One day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," says Jolie. "It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other. So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family."
Jolie also says she'd be willing to meet with Aniston, but "That would be her decision, and I would welcome it."
Pitt has said he and Jolie would not wed until all couples can legally marry, and Jolie agrees that tying the knot is not a priority. "We both have been married before, so it's not marriage that's necessarily kept some people together," she says. "We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing."
