Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ‘got lost’ on Amazon.com
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will not be doing their Christmas shopping on something called “The Internet” because it’s just too darn confusing.
During an interview with USA Today about her very serious war movie, “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” Jolie discussed the markedly fluffier subject of shopping for the holidays: “I always Christmas shop early in case we have to travel somewhere.” But not online:
Brad and I were on Amazon.com for the first time a week ago. But we got lost. After an hour, we just shut it off. My brain is too scattered and the wires go in different directions. I’ll stick to catalogs.
Angelina Jolie makes no apologies for her nomadic life with Brad Pitt and their six children
In fact, the world-traveling actress doesn’t even want to think about not living that way.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” she said wistfully when asked about eventually settling down by Anderson Cooper during an interview set to air on his talk show Monday. She added with emotion, “I don’t want to settle. I love traveling.”
The actress, 36, who won’t rule out a seventh child, also told host Anderson Cooper her children are all on the same page when it comes to moving around – at least for now.
“I will listen, as my mother would have, to them,” she says. “And if they start to complain about it … [But] right now they love it. Right now if they’re in one place for two months they want to know why we’re not getting on an airplane.”
Jolie, who recently made her directorial debut with In the Land of Blood and Honey, says the kids have roots even with their jet-setting lives.
“They really love to travel, and we have certain things that are comforts of home,” she says. “And also, because they’re such a big traveling pack it’s not one child moving around the world and missing friends. There are so many of them they have constant play dates and they’re always together.”
She added, “Because we have traveled a lot, we’re kind of lucky in that we have friends around the world, so if we end up in Budapest or Germany or Africa or Vietnam, they actually call their friends.”

Angelina Mentions Brad @ Marie Claire
Angelina Jolie covers Marie Claire’s new January 2012 issue. The director of In the Land of Blood and Honey spoke with the magazine about her first-ever time behind the camera, then segued into more personal topics.
Angelina spoke about how Brad Pitt is more than just the love of her life, and also said she “could end up pregnant” and further expand their family. Additionally, Angelina spoke about how she’s really a homebody and doesn’t have too many female friends.
Angelina Jolie told Marie Claire:
• On her bond with Brad: “[Brad] has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear. I suppose what I’ve learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own. I’m very, very grateful to have such a loving family, and I wouldn’t have that without him.”
Angie about Brad
Jolie says, despite settling down, she still has some of that edginess to her. “I’m still a bad girl,” she tells Simon. “I still have that side of me…it’s just in its place now…it belongs to Brad. Or…our adventures.”
Simon and “60 Minutes” cameras visited Jolie in Budapest, where she filmed some of the central scenes in her upcoming film, “In the Land of Blood and Honey.” She wrote and directed the film, a dark love story set during the war in Bosnia in the early 1990s.
