ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT are aiming for a family of 14, if the actress’ chat with comedian and chat show host JON STEWART is to be believed.
Appearing on Stewart’s The Daily Show in America last night (14Jun07), the actress confirmed the couple won’t be limiting their family to three adopted kids and a natural daughter.
She joked, "It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14 (children)… Four’s kinda kickin’ our ass but we kinda feel like, `Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’"

JAMES GANDOLFINI has hit back at reports he wasn’t pleased with the climax of THE SOPRANOS by stating he was very impressed with his character TONY SOPRANO’s final scene.
The reclusive actor’s refusal to speak about Sunday night’s (10Jun07) finale at a cast reunion in Florida led many to believe he wasn’t happy with what he saw on TV.
But Gandolfini insists that’s not the case.
He tells today’s New York Daily News, "I thought it was a great ending." He admits family and friends have been trying to get more information out of him about the show’s finale, which shocked many fans, but he insists he doesn’t know what to make of it either.
Gandolfini adds, "You have to ask (The Sopranos creator) David Chase that.
Smarter minds than mine know the answer to that." Chase has declined to explain his ending, but his cast continue to applaud the final show.
Rocker-turned-Sopranos regular Steven Van Zandt says, "A conventional ending would have been a fraud. Life doesn’t have tidy little endings."

MICHAEL MOORE’s new documentary about the state of U.S. healthcare, SICKO, has been given a huge boost by California’s nurses - they will flood cinemas later this month (Jun07) when the film is released.
The California Nurses Association are planning to stage a Scrubs for Sicko campaign in state cinemas to support the film and to answer questions cinemagoers may have.
Nurses will wear their uniforms to the screenings, where they’ll ask film fans to sign petitions and lobby politicians in an effort to push health care reform across America.
Over 1,000 nurses joined Moore at a rally at the state capital in Sacramento earlier this week (beg11Jun07) as the filmmaker met with legislators to discuss issues raised in his new movie, which takes a shot at healthcare in America.

CHARLIZE THERON is being sued for wearing the wrong watch on the red carpet.
Watchmakers at Raymond Weil signed the Oscar winner as a spokesmodel for their $7,000 (£3,500) Shine watches, and were upset when they spotted her wearing a rival Dior timepiece at a 2006 Texas film festival.
According to website FilmStew.com, the Theron/Weil deal was worth an estimated $20 million (£10 million), and now the watchmakers are asking for their cash back.
In court papers, they insist Theron is guilty of breaching a contract and promoting a competing watch.
Weil attorney David Jaraslowicz says, "If you’re the model for Ralph Lauren, you can’t show up wearing Gucci at the AcademyAwards. She undercut our entire ad campaign.
"We spent a fortune on an ad campaign centred around her, then she goes off and makes us look silly in the industry by wearing Dior."

LATEST: COURTNEY LOVE has declared a "mini-war" on herself as she struggles to follow doctor’s orders and quit smoking.
The rocker was recently told she had to quit her bad habit by a medic who found nodules in her throat.
Love felt sure the battle to quit would be relatively easy, but, in a new posting on her website, she admits she’s struggling.
She writes, "I’m going thru (sic) hell trying to cut back on smoking. I’m down to a pack a day from two, but it’s a pain and each fight of the urge is a little mini war." "(I’m) trying to get to half a pack a day and then quit when I get to 10 (cigarettes).
"I think of all I’ve been through and I can do this."

Composer ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER is going to have to rewrite parts of his PHANTOM OF THE OPERA musical follow-up from scratch after his pet cat ruined the score.
The British theatre mogul was creating the score for the much anticipated spectacular on his digital piano when kitten Otto leapt onto his desk and inadvertently wiped his composition.
Lloyd Webber tells the BBC, "I was trying to write some new music, he got into the grand piano, jumped onto the computer and destroyed the entire score for the new Phantom in one fell swoop." The composer is collaborating with fellow theatre impresario David Zippel and novelist Frederick Forsyth, who released a follow-up to the Phantom story in novel form, on the new production.

LATEST: Tragic INXS star MICHAEL HUTCHENCE is to return from the grave in a new biopic produced by MORGAN FREEMAN.
The film, tentatively titled Slide Away - the name of the duet the singer performed with U2’s Bono, will feature Hutchence’s ghost recalling his wild life to daughter Tigerlily.
Longtime INXS videomaker Michael Egan will direct the film, while bosses at Freeman’s Revelations Productions company are now on the search for an actor to play Hutchence’s ghost. Initial reports suggest Johnny Depp is the frontrunner for the part.
But it’s unlikely Hutchence’s INXS bandmates will play any part in the film, even though members of the late rocker’s family have given producers their blessing.
The group’s publicist, Chrissy Camp, says, "The band has never been involved in any of these films and I really don’t think this one will be any different." Hutchence accidentally hanged himself while performing a sex act in a Sydney, Australia hotel in November, 1997.

British royals PRINCE WILLIAM and PRINCE HARRY chose a concert to honour their late mother DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES because of her love of music.
The princes have organised a memorial concert on 1 July (07) to commemorate what would have been their mother’s 46th birthday, and the musical extravaganza will feature appearance from Sir Elton John, Kanye West, Rod Stewart, Natasha Bedingfield, Take That, James Morrison and Status Quo.
The British royals insist it’s a fitting tribute to their mother, who died in a car crash in Paris, France 10 years ago, because she turned to music whenever she faced troubles in her life.
Prince William says, "We used to catch her dancing to her music - we’d walk out the room rather embarrassed that our mother was just dancing around.
"It was a big release for her and she had many artists that she loved listening to."
