NEW YORK - Angelina Jolie says being pregnant has its perks.

"It's great for the sex life," she tells Entertainment Weekly magazine. "It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."

Jolie, who's expecting twins, has said the babies are due in August. She and partner Brad Pitt already have four children - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh - ranging in age from six to two.

When asked how she and Pitt plan to handle six young children, the 33-year-old actress says: "We really don't know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And, fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we're going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can."

Jolie says the couple want to make sure their older children feel included after the babies are born.

"They're old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We're trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing," she says.

How do Jolie and Pitt, 44, define their relationship?

"We have that problem all the time," she says. "I say 'partner' sometimes. 'Father of my children' is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, 'So, your wife this, your husband that.' We've stopped correcting everybody.' "

Jolie, who has two upcoming films, "Wanted" and "Changeling," continues to draw strong reactions from the public, which she sees as a good thing.

"That some people support me and some people really don't like me tells me that I'm making decisions and I'm standing strong for something I believe in. I'm making choices in life. And that's the right thing to do."

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The on-again, off-again love affair between Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and his ex-wife, actress Pamela Anderson, is back on again, according to Lee.

"Pamela and the kids have moved in with me," Lee told Rolling Stone in a story published on the magazine's website on Thursday. "It's awesome, man. It's definitely working. You can tell on the kids' faces -- they're happy when we're together."

Anderson's representative, Peter Asher, declined to comment.

Lee, 45, and Anderson, 40, married in 1995 and went through several breakups and reconciliations before finally divorcing in 1998. They have two sons together.

"We've only given it a try 800 times -- 801, here we go," Lee told Rolling Stone.

While apart, Anderson also married and divorced singer Kid Rock, as well as married then annulled her marriage to entrepreneur Rick Saloman.

She rose to fame as a model and actress on TV shows such as "Home Improvement," "Baywatch" and "V.I.P." She also has appeared in movies and posed for Playboy magazine.

Apart from playing in rock band Motley Crue, Lee appeared in the 2005 reality TV show "Tommy Lee Goes to College."

The pair also recorded an infamous sex tape that became public.

Sex Sells and nothing has made that more clear than the recent set photos of Megan Fox on her new horror film! Much ado has been made as of late about the much ballyhooed boobie shots of Ms. Megan Fox in the upcoming Jason Reitman flick Jennifer’s Body. ( Megan Fox's Naked Jennifers Body Photos ) It’s sadly been the top news story on a site dedicated to the love of film. Perhaps the hottest celebrity beaver sites haven’t been notified of Ms. Fox’s unsurprising decision to show the world her goods, which leaves WoW playing, pizza pocket eating, unshowered teen boys to polish the one-eyed-wonder-snake to movie sites while eating powdered doughnuts.

This marketing tool isn’t entirely dissimilar to a tactic used to promote Swordfish, when Halle Berry awkwardly stood in front of the audience at the MTV movie awards stating that everyone and anyone could take a gander at her mommy-bags for just $10. Also, some might remember the fuss that was made over Sharon Stone’s cooter back in 1992, when she was reportedly unaware that Mr. Verhoeven intended to feature a close-up shot of her birth canal.

Sex sells and movie studios know it. What is interesting however is that it is generally only female sexuality that is on sale. There weren’t many talk show appearances or leaked images of Viggo Mortenson’s willy flopping about to promote Eastern Promises, and Ewan McGregor never promoted Velvet Goldmine or Trainspotting by telling audiences that they could have a glimpse of his Lincoln log for just $10. Perhaps the lack of interest when Bruce Willis flashed his sausage in Color of Night is the reason. Aside from a handful of muffin-topped gals who would need to change their panties and a few gay guys who frequent celebrity dick message boards, not many would spend the money for a simple dong shot. The simplified explanation for this is that men are aroused visually and women are aroused emotionally. Not that many women wouldn’t be intrigued by some on screen pee pee, but it’s unlikely to have them running out the door drooling with erect nipples.

The main question that arises when sexuality is used to sell a product, is one of quality.

Many were quick to jump on the Juno bandwagon, praising the quirky dialogue, not noticing that every character seemed to share the same vocabulary and world view. Reitman’s direction managed to hold together what was essentially an episode of Gilmore Girls with less wit and natural conflict. Could this signal a problem for Jennifer’s Body, a film that is sure to utilize the same snappy pop-culture-driven dialogue from each characters mouth? Or is it just clever marketing to sell a film that all involved have confidence in? Only time will tell.

Female sexuality is a logical tactic to use in marketing this film, as Juno essentially catered to women and a slightly older demographic of men. Having this built in demo will ensure a similar audience for Jennifer’s, but with Megan Fox’s tits they can cash in on the horny teen boy demographic as well. From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense.

As much as society loves to claim gender equality, women continue to perform culture and sexuality while men create it. As long as hooters sell, they will be available for purchase.

 Iron Man Movie Review

CANNES, France (Reuters) - A powerful new film, made with a cast of former child soldiers from Liberia and shot in the streets of Monrovia, depicts the brutal chaos of civil wars that have consumed generations of African children.

"Johnny Mad Dog," by French director Jean-Stephane Sauvaire, follows a band of Kalashnikov-toting boys with names like "No Good Advice," "Small Devil" and "Jungle Rocket" as they advance on the capital of an unnamed African country.

The cast, mostly former child soldiers themselves, lend a near-documentary authenticity to a film based on a novel of the same name by Emmanuel Dongala.

"I wanted to be very close to reality," he told Reuters at the Cannes film festival where the film is being shown.

"I needed to tell the truth about this subject. I didn't just want to take a child, a gun and to make an action movie."

Shot in a raw, dynamic style, his film paints a harrowing picture of a world where children are ripped from their families and made into amoral killers used by leaders of whom they are only vaguely aware.

Christopher Minie, who plays the teenaged Johnny Mad Dog and his subordinate, No Good Advice played by Dagbeh Tweh, mix callous brutality with occasional flashes of humanity that show the child that still exists beneath the cold-eyed killers.

"All the actors in the movie are non-professional actors but they have all had experience of the war," Sauvaire said.

"You can't imagine these kind of things, which is why it was very important for me to shoot this movie in Liberia with these kind of people," he said.

Dressed in bizarre outfits including colored wigs, a wedding dress, an American football helmet and a pair of angels wings, the fighters, themselves drugged and brutalized by their older commander, casually kill, rape and loot.

Amid the madness and terror, 13-year-old Laokole, played by Daisy Victoria Vandy, tries to save her legless father and younger brother, dodging through burned-out buildings and empty streets to avoid marauding gangs.

No accurate statistics exist on how many children have been recruited as soldiers in recent years but a report this week by the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers says tens of thousands have stopped fighting since 2004 as a long-running cycle of civil wars in Africa has ended.

Sauvaire said he had deliberately kept the setting vague because although the civil war in Liberia may have ended, the wider problem remained.

"Today we're talking here in Cannes and there are children fighting in Chad or Asia or the Middle East and to me it was very important to do a universal movie talking about child soldiers," he said.

The film coincides with the trial of former Liberian leader Charles Taylor, who is accused of a series of crimes committed during a civil war in which bands of drugged child soldiers played a leading part.

Sauvaire said he hoped the film, which will be shown in Liberia in the coming months, would help as the country finds its way back to peace after more than a decade of war.

"They told me, 'we want to talk about this, we need to talk about this, we don't want to do the same thing in a few years," he said. "The movie is also a way of understanding what happened in this war."

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lindsay Lohan passed up a role in a movie about convicted killer Charles Manson in order to accept two other offers, including a guest star turn on the TV comedy "Ugly Betty," her publicist said on Friday.

Lohan's spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane, said the 21-year-old actress was "definitely interested" in "The Manson Girls," but she denied online gossip reports that Lohan was dropped from that film because other actors refused to work with her.

"Unfortunately (the Manson movie) didn't come together quickly enough, and she was offered other roles, which she accepted and is looking forward to doing," Sloane told Reuters.

The ABC television network announced on Monday that Lohan, who is seeking to rebuild her career after a year of personal upheaval, has signed a deal to guest star in six upcoming episodes of the popular workplace comedy "Ugly Betty," starting this month.

Sloane said Lohan also has been cast to star in the forthcoming film comedy "Labor Pains," produced by Rick Schwartz, whose credits include the Martin Scorsese films "The Departed," "The Aviator" and "Gangs of New York."

As described in the New York Post, Lohan will play a young woman who pretends to be pregnant to avoid being fired.

For "The Manson Girls," Lohan had reportedly been attached to play a Manson "family" cult member named Nancy Pitman.

But a source with knowledge of the project said producers failed to put money into escrow in time to hold Lohan's availability, leaving her free to take other work.

Manson, now 73, was convicted of masterminding the grisly 1969 killings of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate -- the pregnant wife of film director Roman Polanski -- and six other people during a two-day rampage in the Los Angeles area.

Originally sentenced to death for ordering his followers to carry out the mass killings, he is now serving a life sentence at the Corcoran State Prison in California.

Lohan has not starred in a feature film since last year's flop "I Know Who Killed Me."

She spent much of 2007 out of the public spotlight after she was arrested twice in one month for drunken driving and re-entered rehab in a relapse of substance abuse that cost her a role in a film produced by and starring Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine.

The year before, a studio executive publicly rebuked Lohan for repeatedly showing up late on the set of "Georgia Rule," which he blamed on her late-night clubbing habits.
