Angelina Jolie’s brother, James Haven, has revealed the actress’s plans to have another child with her partner Brad Pitt. Haven said the couple have decided to go with adoption this time around and are planning on a little African girl.
Pitt and Jolie have three adopted children, a Cambodian son Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax, and Ethiopian daughter Zahara. The couple has one biological daughter, Shiloh.
According to reports, Jolie and Pitt plan to begin looking for African orphanages over the Easter holidays.
“They are creating one big family and will keep adopting as long as they are able to,” says Haven. “Angie and Brad talk about how much they have been taught by their kids. In many respects Angie saved Zahara’s life and there are so many more children whose lives she could save and she talks about that constantly.”
Angelina Jolie says that she wasn't kidding when she flaunted her torrid marriage to Billy Bob Thornton -- the his-and-hers tattoos and vials of blood, the boasting about their sex life -- even though she says they're no longer friends. In an interview with Barbara Walters, which ABC will air on ''20/20'' on Friday, Jolie says of her ex-husband, ''I thought he was amazing. And now I just feel like I don't know him.'' Their two-year marriage soured in 2002, shortly after they adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox. ''It's like we just changed,'' she says. ''We became very different people, and I wouldn't know what to talk to him about.''
Jolie, whose ''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'' opens July 25, says she's similarly estranged from her dad, Jon Voight, despite their brief reunion playing father and daughter while shooting the first ''Tomb Raider'' in 2000. ''It was a hello and goodbye. And that was kind of that time for us,'' she tells Walters.
Jolie says she's so devoted to Maddox that she plans to raise him in Cambodia so that he'll know his heritage. ''I think I'll never get married again,'' she says. ''I don't want to have a temporary father for my son.'' She adds, ''I don't really know if I'm meant for marriage.''
Still, she says, ''I consider myself a very sexual person,'' says Jolie. "If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow …it's right to want to kiss her and touch her.'' In fact, she said, she had a bisexual relationship when she was a teen, one that involved ritual self-mutilation. ''I got knives out and had a night where we attacked each other... it felt so primitive and it felt so honest... and then I had to deal with, you know, not telling my mother, hiding things, wearing gauze bandages to high school.'' She says, however, that she's left those days behind. ''I think when you make a decision to have a child, you cannot think about suicide again and you can't be self-destructive.''

Later, when she was pregnant in 2006, another interview reads,
Angelina Jolie is expecting a baby this summer with Brad Pitt, PEOPLE has confirmed. "Yes, I'm pregnant," Jolie told a charity aid worker in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Monday. The pregnancy has since been confirmed by representatives of both stars.
This is the first biological child for Jolie, 30, who is already the mother of son Maddox, 4, whom she adopted from Cambodia, and daughter Zahara, 1, adopted from Ethiopia in July.
Jolie, who has often spoken about expanding her family, added that she’d like to adopt again. In October she told PEOPLE: "There's something about making a choice, waking up and traveling somewhere and finding your family."
She is currently in the Dominican Republic filming The Good Shepherd with Matt Damon. She is also working with Yele Haiti, a charity for the empowerment of Haitian citizens.
Pitt, 42, who recently took steps to adopt Maddox and Zahara, including changing their names to Jolie-Pitt, has talked of wanting a family for years. He has no children from his 4-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston.

In July, Pitt accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia, where she completed the adoption process for Zahara.
More recently, the couple have been spotted all over the globe, including Kenya, England, Ethiopia, Canada, Tokyo and Pakistan, where they spent Thanksgiving.
Jolie has never been happier, say friends. "This is a woman who values her relationships with her children more than anything," a source tells PEOPLE. "Now she is creating a family in the context of an adult relationship."
I swear this is the last time I dwell on this topic, because it's just so stupid of me to care what billions of dollars can buy these days, especially when it's tabloid/star related, BUT, the Angelina story about carrying twins is just too much to NOT mock in terms of over-kill. Is she now hitting fertility clinics, or what?
In any case, I found the site I like when it comes to news about those two.

Growing up, we could only hunt for Easter eggs in our own house. Who goes hunting for eggs in other people's yards, in other people's countries? Damn!
