The film, which is showing at the Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday, is set to make its full debut in the Bosnian capital on Feb. 14, though it already has been shown to some groups there. Already released in the U.S., Jolie's directorial debut is a drama about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosnian woman, among sex slaves in a camp. "I'm nervous and I'm excited," Jolie said of the Bosnian premiere. "I'll probably cry through the entire thing." "I'll be very, very moved because, of course, a lot of the people coming are the victims of war so it's going to be heavy," she added. Jolie, 36, said that "it didn't take much for me to be driven" while directing the film, noting that her cast lived through the 1992-95 war in Bosnia. Actress Vanesa Glodjo, she said, crossed Sarajevo's "Sniper Alley" — named after the heavy fire by sharpshooters that made it notoriously dangerous — daily to get to her theater school. "Art meant that much to her that she risked her life every day," Jolie said. "The privilege you feel to have the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and such an extraordinary human being made it all ... just wonderful." Glodjo said that Jolie "gave me the words and opportunity to express what I lived during the war." Jolie's film is showing outside the main competition at the Berlin festival. The film has triggered outrage among Serbs although it has yet to be premiered in Serbia and the Serb-controlled parts of Bosnia. Authorities rejected a request by some Serb war veterans' organizations to ban the film because of alleged anti-Serb bias. Jolie stressed during a press conference at the festival Saturday that "this is not a documentary ... it's an artistic interpretation." "I tried to bring as much as I could but there are many different sides to war, many different sides to this war," she said. "This was this particular story, but there are many different stories to be told in this war and many different ways to tell the story of this war." Angelina Jolie & The Kids Visit Legoland (Photo) It took more than 1-degree weather to keep Angelina Jolie and three of her and Brad Pitt's kids from enjoying Berlin's Legoland Discovery Centre on Thursday afternoon. Mom and Maddox, Pax and Shiloh piled into a Mercedes van and headed to the indoor fun facility, where the kids played for about 90 minutes, before selecting some Lego toys from the gift shop. Pax had the hardest time deciding which package to choose, reports the German tabloid, B.Z.. Jolie seems to be a fan of Legoland, having visited the version in England with one of her kids last September. She also has donated generously to Merlin's Magic Wand, a worldwide charity created by the operator of Legoland to provide fun experiences for children who are seriously ill, disabled or disadvantaged. After their visit Thursday, the Jolie-Pitts headed back to their hotel across from the landmark Brandenburg Gate to play, as Jolie prepares to show her film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, at the Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday. On Wednesday, reports the Bild newspaper, Jolie paid a quiet visit by herself to Berlin's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Willkommen! Angelina Jolie and Kids Touch Down in Berlin (Photo) Have kids, will travel. Angelina Jolie was, once again, seen making her way to a different part of the planet with her children in tow. On Tuesday night, the actress and her brood arrived at their hotel in Berlin, where the Oscar winner is preparing to screen her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, at the German city's annual film festival this weekend. Earlier in the week, Jolie's significant other, Brad Pitt, addressed his family's globetrotting ways on CBS This Morning, saying the couple's six tykes are "quite used to a bit of jet lag and moving to a new location." We're not sure where these tiny travelers will turn up next, but both mom and dad are due in Los Angeles at the Oscars on Feb. 26, with her presenting and him being a Best Actor contender. Brad Pitt: Angelina Jolie Is 'Still a Bad Girl' Angelina Jolie recently told 60 Minutes that, despite her philanthropic efforts and six children, she still has a dark side – something her partner Brad Pitt now happily confirms. "She's still a bad girl," a grinning Pitt, 48, said Monday on CBS This Morning. "Delightfully so. It's not for public consumption." It might be one of the only private aspects of his and 36-year-old Jolie's family life, which is often in the spotlight as the couple travels around the world with their children in tow. "They're quite used to a bit of jetlag and moving to a new location, as long as we're together," Pitt told co-host Charlie Rose of their brood. "So the home's always intact. They've got to pack their own bags, and they're responsible if they leave their chargers behind, and so on and so forth." Of their children – Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, and Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 3 – Pitt told Rose of the sheer joy the family has "because we are together," and how the best actor Oscar nominee's work has even "gotten better because I worry less about it. I mean, it's not as important as family." Angelina Jolie: Brad's Marriage Talk Was 'Blown Out of Proportion' Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie headed down the altar sometime soon? That's what could be expected, given Pitt's recent comments about the pressure to propose – but according to Jolie, 36, her longtime beau's comments were a bit overblown. "I think anything said tends to be blown out of proportion," Jolie told PEOPLE on Sunday's red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in L.A., when asked about "a lot of ring-talk lately." "Yeah, that was my fault," Pitt, 48, admitted, with a smile. Speculation that wedding bells may be in the near future for the famous couple stem from Pitt's interview with CBS News in which he said he and Jolie are "getting a lot of pressure from the kids." "It means something to them," he continued. "We will [get married] someday, we will. It's a great idea. 'Get mommy a ring.' 'OK, I will, I will.' " And then last week, Pitt reiterated those same comments to The Hollywood Reporter. "It seems to mean more and more to our kids," he said. "We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to [get married] till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out … it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment." Quotes From the 2012 SAG Awards Red Carpet "It's fun to wake up and play with your kids and then get ready and go out and be with a bunch of friends." —Angelina Jolie in response to walking with husband Brad Pitt on the red carpet. Brad Pitt Says He & Angelina Jolie 'Would Like To' Marry Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have long maintained that marriage is probably not in the cards for them – at least until gay marriage is legalized. Now, it seems, the couple may be playing with a new deck. "We'd actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids," Pitt, 48, tells The Hollywood Reporter of the couple's current thoughts on matrimony. "We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out." Does that mean he's asked Jolie, 36 – his partner of seven years – to marry him? "I'm not going to go any further," says the actor, who has been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for Moneyball. "[But] it means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment." Jolie, too, has addressed the subject of marriage as it relates to the couple's six children: "They have asked, yeah, because ? people get married in the movies," Jolie told Nightline in an interview that aired last month. But before finding happiness with Jolie and their brood, Pitt says he went through a much darker period. "I used to deal with depression, but I don't now, not this decade – maybe last decade," says Pitt. "But that's also figuring out who you are. I see it as a great education, as one of the seasons or a semester. 'This semester I was majoring in depression.' " Look What Angelina Jolie Picked Up at the Farmers' Market: a Bushel of Kids! (Photo) Strawberries? Check. Veggies? Check. Celebrity kids? Ring 'em up—this market's got quite the crop! Angelina Jolie swung by an L.A. farmers' market on Sunday with three of her kids in tow: Shiloh, Knox and Pax. The Earth mom looked chic and subdued in an all-black ensemble, but it was her kids who turned out to be her most adorable and eye-catching accessories. Shiloh, in particular, sported a short new 'do, and her outfit complemented Mom's all-black getup. Matchy-matchy! So what did the Jolie-Pitt mini-clan do at the market? PopSugar reports that the kids had a blast snacking on goodies like chocolate-covered strawberries and Italian ices, and that Knox even got to hop a ride on a pony. Pax, on the other hand, showcased some martial-arts derring-do. (Do we have a budding action star in the fam here? Hollywood agents, line up and take a number!) Consider it a moment of calm for Jolie, who, along with beau Brad Pitt, is having a busy awards season. She's been making the rounds on behalf of her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which snagged a Golden Globe nom and recently won her the Stanley Kramer Award from the Producers Guild. Don't expect things to mellow down soon. This morning, Pitt scored an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his understated work in Moneyball. So, you can expect to see way more of the power couple on the red carpet. Let's hope Angie bought a whole bunch of fruit at that market: Sounds like it's time to make daddy a celebratory pie! Is Angelina Jolie Ready to Quit Acting? How much does Angelina Jolie love directing? Well, she loves it so much that... She could see herself giving up acting one day to go behind the camera fulltime. "I still love acting–if I can find those roles that matter," Jolie told me at the Producers Guild Awards, where her writing and directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey was honored with the Stanley Kramer Award. "But if I don't, it's nice to be able to shine the spotlight on another actress your think is extremely talented and give her the spotlight." Fortunately, Jolie is still finding roles that matter to her. Coming up is starring as Sleeping Beauty's nemesis in the live-action fairy-tale thriller Maleficent. "It's neat for my kids," Jolie said. Asked how evil she'll be in the flick, she smiled, "She's got horns and all." Perhaps a superhero movie could be in her and Brad Pitt's future? During the Producers Guild Awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the two were spotted chatting with comic book legend Stan Lee. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt trade views on filmmaking They're arguably Hollywood's highest-profile couple, so it's only natural that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would privately discuss the art and business of filmmaking. According to Pitt, they don't always agree. Speaking with Reuters at Saturday's Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills, Pitt said that he and Jolie, who are each busy on both sides of the camera as well as raising six children together, will talk shop at the end of a long day. "Usually we argue shop every now and then," Pitt said, noting that they tend to differ in their approach. "She's much more decisive, she's much more quick. I've got to see everything. I've got to shop the entire eBay to know exactly what I want and what I need." When he's stumped, Pitt said, "I'll always go to her and talk it out." Jolie, who received the guild's Stanley Kramer Award for her directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," said Pitt's role as a producer calls for different skills. He produced and starred in "Moneyball," one of the 10 films nominated for the Producers Guild's top prize. "I had to direct, I think it's different. I think he'd execute properly if he was the director," Jolie said. "But I do like to think of myself as decisive, so I'll take that." Regarding her first work in the director's chair, a love story set amid the harrowing destruction of the Bosnian War, Jolie said her intention "wasn't to make a political statement against anybody. It was simply to say, 'We must talk about what happened, we must try to learn from what happened, we must try to see humanity on all sides,' and if we can, then we can start to move forward." On the other hand, Jolie admitted that she was "fascinated" by a political matter somewhat closer to home: the Republican presidential race. "There's that part of us that's wanting to learn about what's going on, and wanting to see who could possibly be the next president, and taking that very seriously, which it is. And then there's that other part of it that is this strange television ... these characters that we're watching. So you try to kind of separate that," Jolie said, adding that "it goes into the bizarre sometimes." 'Blood and Honey' courageous In The Land Of Blood and Honey is a film about what happens to people in a time of war. It's a story about physical and emotional survival. Written and directed by Angelina Jolie, In The Land Of Blood and Honey is a hard-hitting look at the realities of conflict, which most certainly cover rape, murder, pillage and all the other exigencies of war that have been so carefully withheld from public view for the last 30-odd years. Jolie tells her tale through the specifics of a single relationship. It's 1992, the year Bosnia declares independence and the year that ethnic cleansing begins. An artist named Ajla (Zana Marjanovic) gets ready to go on a date with someone she has obviously just met. Danijel (Goran Kostic) takes her dancing. Their chemistry is obvious, but their evening is interrupted by violence, and after that the story jumps forward a few months. (Trailer) In that brief time, things have obviously changed for the worse. Ajla and her sister, who are Bosniak Muslims, are wakened by the sound of soldiers putting people out of their apartment block. The men are removed. Some of the women are selected to be taken away on buses. Ajla, who is one of those women, sees a man shot dead in the street. She ends up in a prison camp where it appears to be a given that women will be raped by the soldiers in charge. This all unfolds in a fashion just as surreal as it sounds. And lo and behold, there at the camp is her friend Danijel, who is a Serbian officer. He removes her from immediate danger and speaks to her in a familiar way, happy to see her and a bit oblivious to her situation. Danijel confides to her that he isn't happy about having to shoot people he went to school with. Ajla is horrified, but is eventually drawn into a relationship of sorts with Danijel for her own survival. It's far more complicated than that, but let's just say that each has genuine emotion invested in being together. He can protect her in some ways. She can protect him in others. Running parallel to Ajla's experiences in the camp are her sister's attempts to fend for herself and her infant son back at the apartment block. Her sister's existence plays out against a backdrop of complete urban ruin: the city where they live is a bombed-out shell, and anyone who ventures out into the street is likely to be shot by soldiers. The element of the surreal is emphasized again when a resistance fighter in the midst of chaos and bloodshed talks about getting food supplies and aid from Italy -- where, 40 minutes from Sarajevo, tourists are enjoying themselves and people are getting a bit of sun. As history, as storytelling and as human drama, In The Land Of Blood and Honey is an impressive project. Jolie has a number of things on her side here, including a superb cast that is mostly unknown to western viewers -- always a boon to the willing suspension of disbelief. And it doesn't hurt that her cinematographer, Dean Semler, brings a painterly beauty to the look of the film that quietly underlines the horror of its events. The film is visually stunning. This is an unusually intelligent and courageous, albeit deeply disturbing, project. In The Land Of Blood and Honey is in Serbo-Croatian, with English subtitles. Are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Kids Destined to Be Stars? Grandpa Jon Voight Weighs In! From the way Jon Voight gushes over his grandchildren (ya know, the babes of the world's most famous power couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) you would never know he and daughter Angie had a six-year falling out. And we're so relieved they've worked it all out, because who else better to spill some dish on all those cute kiddos…well, besides Brangelina themselves, of course! So, does Grandpa Jon think any of the adorable tots have a future in H'wood? Definitely! When we asked Jon whether he saw a future in acting for his grandkids, he responded without any hesitation: "I do actually," he spilled with a smirk at the G'Day USA Black Tie Gala Saturday night. No surprise there! After all, acting definitely runs in the genes of this famous fam and we would love to see any of the adorable kiddos on the big screen. So did Jon reveal which one of the brood is most likely to fill ma and pa's giant acting shoes? "I don't want to say, but I have a feeling that they will," he admitted. "I have no doubt." And even though he refused to dish any specifics on the kids, we had to ask G-pa if he has any fears for the young ones if they do decide to try their hand at entertainment—especially since Angelina has never been shy about her troubled time as a young actress. But rest assured, Mr. Voight suggests just the opposite: "Hollywood should be afraid of them," he gushed. "These guys are really something." All together now: Awwww! Voight continues: "I try to give them support as Brad and Angie do…they really let these kids be who they are." Too friggin' cute, right?! If only we could fast forward to the days when adorable Shiloh and Zahara will strut the red carpet—here's hoping! Jolie and Pitt grace the Globes in glamorous style Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fully dressed their part as a glamorous Hollywood power couple at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards: She in a body-hugging white strapless gown with a flash of red at the bustline by Atelier Versace that matched perfectly her lips and handbag, and he in a classic, bow-tie tuxedo by Salvatore Ferragamo. Individually, they oozed old-school, movie-star looks, but together, they were the buzz of the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., setting a high bar for style. "There is mystery there. We know so much about everybody else that this couple is so exciting, and you love to see them," said stylist Mary Alice Stephenson. "They are so elegant ... and she's immaculate head to toe. She's so beautiful and icy, you love to watch her and you can't take your eyes off her." Jolie led the march of stylish, seasoned veterans, who are mothers, moguls and — on nights like these — the best models around. Stephenson called out Elle Macpherson in a strapless, tiered Zac Posen gown in ivory, Kate Beckinsale in a blush-colored beaded Roberto Cavalli, Reese Witherspoon in a red, corsetlike Posen, Nicole Kidman in a studded Versace and Salma Hayek in a bold, metallic Gucci. Charlize Theron wore a dusty-rose colored gown by Christian Dior Couture with a plunging neckline, high slit and big bow on the waist, and Heidi Klum was in a plunging-back, blush-tone gown by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein. She accented her look with a huge turquoise necklace. "It's good for real women to see women who have a little age and maybe motherhood who can get their glam on in a very sexy way," Stephenson said. Hal Rubenstein, fashion director for InStyle, noted the prevailing sophistication and elegance. "It's a very pretty night," he said. "Everybody wanted to look pretty and grown up. There wasn't a slashed skirt. There was an understanding that fashion isn't about being outrageous." Among his favorites were Julianna Margulies in a purple caviar-beaded gown by Naeem Khan that showed off an open back. Khan is one of Michelle Obama's go-to designers for formal occasions, and with open back and long sleeves from the designer's spring collection at the Golden Globe Awards. One of her other favorites, Jason Wu, made the leap to the West Coast, dressing Michelle Williams in a blue velvet gown. Williams' biggest style statement, however, was her diamond garland headband by Fred Leighton for Forevermark. The blue gown that surely turned some heads was the Vera Wang worn by Sofia Vergara. It was the mermaid silhouette that's becoming her signature, but the knife-pleated bodice and swirling sheared bias flange skirt were a little more fashion forward than the styles she's worn before. Vergara said she so often wears Wang because of her gowns' fit: "She's like a genius now with my body." There were some new names making bold fashion statements at the Globes, reassuring the next generation of style watchers. Jessica Chastain was at the ceremony for the first time wearing a high-neck, pearl-covered Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci. The details, down to her thin gold belt and pearl-and-diamond earrings, were just right. Mila Kunis wore a one-shouldered black Dior. Her makeup artist Tracey Levy said she looked a bit like Elizabeth Taylor, but even more like "a brunette Grace Kelly." "She looked classic Hollywood, but youthful ... with an innocence but also a grown woman who is confident," said Levy, who stuck to peach and coral Dior shades. Zooey Deschanel wore a unique Prada dark-green halter gown with black and emerald glass pearls on the bodice and ivory pearls at the neck, and Rooney Mara, in a deep V-neck black gown with a bare, harness-style bodice. "It's a Nina Ricci and it was the first one I tried on," Mara said. "It was very comfortable." Rubenstein thought Mara is playing her cards right in introducing herself to a broader audience. "She's doing a very savvy bridge between personal style and the character she plays in 'Dragon Tattoo.'" First-timer Octavia Spencer wore a lavender, draped gown by Tadashi with a V neck and jeweled details. "We wanted to create something Grecian that highlighted her curves and vibrant personality," said Shoji in a statement. Rubenstein noted how many women went the purple route, including Emma Stone in Lanvin, Jessica Alba in Gucci and Shailene Woodley in an embroidered illusion column dress by Marchesa. Lea Michele wore one of the beaded, under-the-sea fantasy frocks from Marchesa's spring runway. Madonna, whose style has been all over the map in her long career, went back to her rock 'n' roll roots for this event wearing a dark green embroidered gown with cap sleeves by Reem Acra and a diamond-and-pearl cross by Neil Lane. "I love it because I feel like I'm wearing chain mail and I'm ready to go to battle," said Madonna. Claire Danes took a very modern turn in a graphic black-and-white J. Mendel gown with an open back, and Kate Winslet did the opposites-attract thing in a Jenny Packham gown with a black hammered silk satin bodice and ivory silk crepe skirt. "There was not a real miss, definitely nothing cataclysmic," said Rubenstein. "Those days of big goofs are few and far between now. People are too smart, their stylists are too smart — and they all have good relationships with designers." Quoted "I was nervous about the people in Bosnia seeing it who survived the war and rape. I was not nervous about the Hollywood release as much."—Angelina Jolie on people's reaction to In the Land of Blood and Honey Did Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Deliver on the Golden Globes Red Carpet? Well, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie certainly had the Golden Globes glamour thing down. As if there was any doubt! But were the superstar couple, both of them nominees for a change, in a chatty move? Jolie's icy white Versace gown with red accents almost made her look too majestic to be human, and Pitt is still nursing that nagging MCL injury that requires him to tote a cane around... But of course they stopped to do their sacred duty on the red carpet—or else risk being the object of much what's-with-them derision. A Salvatore Farragamo-tuxedoed Pitt pulled up lame to E!'s Ryan Seacrest first, explaining that his partner in criminal hotness got "stuck in the barrage of cameras." But Jolie wasn't gone for long, and then Seacrest was able to congratulate both on their achievements in one fell swoop. "It's certainly nice [to both be nominated]," Pitt, who had journalists' hearts aflutter when he was spotted opening the car door for Jolie upon their arrival. "I know how hard she worked ont his film...I certainly know how hard I worked. It's nice when everything comes together, nad people work so hard on these films and for them to be understood and accepted this way, it's a golden night for us." Jolie, as the director of In the Land of Blood and Honey, maintained a rather serious demeanor, saying she was more concerned about the people of Bosnia's reaction to her film than American audiences. "I was nervous about people in Bosnia seeing it who survived war and rape," she said, rather intensely for a typical red-carpet convo. But, you could sense how proud she was of her achievement—and why shouldn't she be?! "It's a very difficult subject matter, it's done in a foreign language, and with people nobody knows," she explained. "These are difficult times and people don't often want to watch difficult movies in difficult times, but it's important to revisit this history no matter, so we pushed forward and made it." And by jove, she and Pitt looked great tonight. Jolie and Almodovar discuss future collaboration Don't be stunned to see a future collaboration between superstar American actress — and now director — Angelina Jolie and revered Spanish director Pedro Almodovar. The two were among attendees at the annual Golden Globes foreign-language seminar on Saturday at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, where directors nominated in the category discussed this year's competition. The entries include Jolie's "In the Land of Blood and Honey," about family strife and abuse of women in Bosnia, and Almodovar's psycho-thriller "The Skin I Live In." Unlike other celebrities at the event, Jolie surprised reporters by showing up early, relaxed and gracious as she posed for photographers and talked about what inspired her to move behind the camera for "Blood and Honey." At one point, Jolie half-joked to a Spanish reporter that she was angry with Almodovar because he'd yet to hire her for a role. When Almodovar was given that news by an Associated Press reporter — within earshot of Jolie — the actress jumped into the fray. "I am right here," Jolie noted. "Yes, because you have never given me a job." "Oh my God," said a flustered Almodovar. "No, no don't worry, you are joining now. Absolutely." "So one day," Jolie responded, "when all these cameras are gone, we find a film together." Angelina Jolie: "I Had a Complete Meltdown" While Making Directorial Debut While making In the Land of Blood and Honey, Angelina Jolie found herself in the land of tears. As she fielded questions from fans last night during a live online chat about her directorial debut, the Oscar winner admitted that the project definitely took its toll during production. "I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad [Pitt] found me crying," revealed Jolie. "I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. I thought, 'Who am I to take this on?'...I had a complete meltdown." The actress says such trepidation stemmed from the fact that she "didn't plan to become a director" when she wrote the movie's screenplay. "I still have trouble saying I'm a director," she admitted. "I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up, by default, being the director." Well, as far as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is concerned, Jolie wound up doing a pretty good job behind the camera. In the Land of Blood and Honey has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Foreign Language Film category. We'll find out Sunday if it takes home the gold. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Meet With President Obama at the White House (Photo) Angelina Jolie has spent plenty of time in Washington, D.C., as part of her role as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. But this time, she got some facetime with the president! The Oscar winner and her man Brad Pitt scored a meeting with President Barack Obama today at the White House, the commander in chief penciling them in before he was set to leave for Chicago. You have one guess as to what they talked about. No, not the New Hampshire primary... Jolie and Obama discussed the plight of women caught up in war zones—such as the one depicted in her film The Land of Blood and Honey—and how the United States can get involved combating mass violence against civilians in troubled areas. And surely Pitt, who consulted with Obama a couple of years ago regarding his plans for the redevelopment of New Orleans' hurricane-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward, was able to contribute to the dialogue as well. (No word on whether Secret Service confiscated his cane before he was granted a private audience with the president.) The do-gooding couple were in town for a screening of Jolie's film at the Holocaust Memorial Museum. After his glammier-than-usual meeting, Obama jetted to Chicago for a surprise visit to his reelection-campaign headquarters to thank staffers for their diligence. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Fête Her Film in D.C. - with Obama's Staff! Following the Washington, D.C., premiere of her new film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, Angelina Jolie joined partner Brad Pitt for a celebratory dinner at Charlie Palmer Steak. The couple – joined by 12 others, including President Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett – opted for Palmer's $35.12 prix fixe Restaurant Week menu, and started with chopped salads of romaine, endive, goat cheese, bacon, cranberry and red wine vinegar. For entrées, Pitt chose the coulotte steak with sweet potato purée and braised greens, while Jolie savored the roasted chicken breast with buttered new potatoes and marjoram jus. Pitt, who was recently injured during a fall, indulged in the dark chocolate pavé with milk chocolate ice cream for dessert, while Jolie passed on the sweets. According to an onlooker, the party of 14 stayed at the restaurant for two hours, and was "extremely pleasant and gracious to both fans and the staff." Angelina Jolie: I Don't Lecture My Children Angelina Jolie is as well known for her work helping refugees around the world as she is for making movies. But she'll let her kids decide for themselves whether they want to follow in her activist footsteps. "I'm not one of those moms who kind of lectures [my kids]," Jolie, 36, told reporters on Saturday at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs Film Festival. "But I do tell them, whenever I go on a trip, where I'm going and why. And on some occasions, they've come with me to different refugee camps. And they also go to their home countries a lot." The actress, who wore an Elie Saab gown to the festival's awards gala, has faith her little ones will make decisions based on what they see in their day-to-day lives. "Hopefully they live in the world, and they see the world really as it is, outside of Hollywood," she says. "If they really live in the world and spend time with friends around the world from all different types of backgrounds, they [will] just see things as they are." Even though Jolie doesn't expect her children to take up the same causes, she does look for opportunities – such as daughter Zahara's birthday on Sunday – to remind them about who they are and where they come from. "We make sure we're very aware of her culture and her heritage," Jolie says of Zahara, who turned 7 on Sunday. "She's an African-American girl, so we make that a part of anything she does. So that'll be a part of her [birthday]." Angelina Jolie Talks Brad Pitt's Injury: "Proud of Him Every Single Day" Brad Pitt is still walking with that cane. But being injured is worth it if it means his children are OK... Pitt told reporters at last night's Palm Springs International Film Festival gala that he hurt himself when he took a fall while carrying daughter Vivienne. Angelina Jolie said it's not the first injury of its kind at the Jolie-Pitt household. "When [Maddox] was younger, I took a fall and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make sure he didn't have the fall," Jolie said. "Every parent has injured themselves. Every parent will stand in the line of fire for their kids so it's a normal thing." Jolie said Pitt isn't milking the injury at home. "He's not that kind of guy," she said. "He does everything still." "I'm proud of him every single day," Jolie said of her hubby, who last night was presented the Desert Palm Achievement Award by his Moneyball costar Jonah Hill. Jolie told me she's likely to direct again after making her debut earlier this year with In The Land of Blood and Honey. "It's such a weird thing. I sat down to try to write something and I can't even believe it's become a film," she said. "I do have a pile of things I haven't shown anybody, including one on Afghanistan." Angelina Jolie-starring film "Maleficent" finds director Disney has tapped production designer Robert Stromberg ("Avatar," "Alice in Wonderland") to direct the live-action movie about Snow White's evil queen "Maleficent," The Wrap has confirmed. The fantasy movie is told from the viewpoint of Beauty's apple-bearing fairy godmother, played by Angelina Jolie. It is being touted as a post-modern take on the classic fairy tale. It will mark Stromberg's directing debut. "Maleficent" is written by Linda Woolverton, who also wrote the script for Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and co-wrote the script for "The Lion King." Don Hahn, Joe Roth and Richard D. Zanuck produce. The "Maleficent" news comes following the announcement that Disney had tapped another first-time director, Brian Beletic, for a Matterhorn-ride-inspired movie referred to as the "Untitled Explorers Project."
