Egypt.
The couple stopped by to pose for
pictures and spend time with the troops, which posted a photo on its Facebook
page with the caption, "While visiting Luxor on a Morale and Welfare trip,

Kicking off the week with a very special
occasion, Angelina Jolie is celebrating her 37th birthday today on June
4.
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” starlet is one
of the most high-profile mommies in Tinseltown as well as the soon-to-be-bride
of none other than Brad Pitt.
And in addition to her impressive resume
of movie roles, Angelina knocked it out of the park with her recent directorial
debut “In the Land of Blood and Honey.”
Coming up, Ms. Jolie will star as the
wicked fairy in “Maleficent,” a recreation of the Disney classic film “Sleeping
Beauty.”
Add in her role as a United Nations
Goodwill Ambassador, and all of her humanitarian efforts, and Angelina Jolie’s
life is both blessed and busy!
Angelina Jolie has gone through a lot of
phases in her life — gothic teen, bride of Billy Bob Thornton, and today, mom of
six, A-list actress and humanitarian, always stirring up buzz along the way. As
one of America's most famous women turns 37 on June 4, omg! brings you five of
the most honest, odd, and outrageous things she's ever uttered.
On the vial of then-husband's Billy Bob
Thornton's blood she once wore around her neck: "It's my husband's blood … which
is beautiful to me, you know? Some people like diamonds around their necks or
things like that. I think that's beautiful. And it makes me, it's his life." —
MSNBC interview with Ann Curry, June 2001. Jolie later admitted that the vial
was really filled with a piece of paper stained with a tiny bit of blood, but it
sure did seem weird back then. She abruptly took it off when the two split in
2002.
On receiving her Best Supporting Actress
Oscar for "Girl Interrupted": "I'm in shock. And I'm so in love with my brother
right now, he just held me and said he loved me." — Jolie's acceptance speech at
the 2000 Academy Awards. Sure, we all love our siblings, but the term "in love,"
coupled with her smooching her brother, James Haven, on the lips in front of
cameras on the same night, threw the public for a loop, and the speech has
dogged her ever since.
On being paired with Brad Pitt for the
film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith": "It's actually a very funny combination. My opinion
of marriage comes from a very cynical place, so the question 'Do you want to
kill your spouse?' is a serious thing. And he comes from a place of 'What a
funny idea, to kill the person you're married to,' because he has a happy
marriage." — Vogue, March 2004. Today, of course, this comment seems especially
fascinating considering that the "happy marriage" between Pitt and his then-wife
Jennifer Aniston ended within a year of this interview, and he then
coincidentally struck up a relationship with Jolie. Eight years later, the
couple is raising six children together and is engaged to be married.
On not being the touchy-feely type: "It's
not going to accomplish anything to cry. It's not going to help you to get a
hug! I'm not a hugger. People make fun of me. It's something that I have a hard
time with. If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging,
crying - all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable." — Vogue, January 2007.
Based on this tidbit, any and all hugs must have a strict time limit, lest the
Oscar winner pass out due to a lack of oxygen.
On her appearance: "I am odd-looking. I
sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet." — Unknown. We can't verify to whom
she said this, but Angelina, trust me, you look nothing like a
Muppet.

Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany on Monday.

& Russo dress while Brad opted for the traditional black and white

Earlier in the day, Ms Jolie offered up
some information about her plan to write a new piece about the conflict in
Afghanistan.
"I did write something on Afghanistan.
Nobody's seen it yet," she told and then added, "Brad hasn't seen it. It's
hidden. So I don't know how very good it is, but it's been a pleasure to
write."
