All hell must be breaking loose at the Pitt/Jolie household right about now! Brad Pitt‘s incredibly hurtful remarks to Parade Magazine, in which he said his life was pathetic during his five-year-marriage to Jennifer Aniston, made headlines all over the world. Now that Brad has come out and said his words were twisted, it’s clear America’s sweetheart finally has revenge — and Angelina Jolie must be livid!

Although it took six years, Brad must have finally found the sensitivity chip Jen claimed he once lost. In Brad’s statement, he stated: “It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”

Brad admits that Jen is “hilarious, loving, giving” — all of the things that we knew she was all along! Brad didn’t have to tell us, but it’s clear he needed to remind himself. Now that he’s a dad-of-six with Angie, he might have lost a sense of reality and it took his horrible interview blunder for him to realize that the woman he cheated on while married did NOTHING WRONG!

Keep in mind, Angie is rightfully dubbed “man-stealer” because she and Brad admittedly got together in 2005 while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith — when he was STILL married to Jen. Angie even became pregnant with their first-born Shiloh before his divorce was finalized!

We spoke to relationship expert and  Don’t Bet on the Prince author Dr. Gilda Carle, who says Angie should not be pitied.

“At first it was as though Angie was victorious in the contest,” Dr. Carle says. “However, now, with Brad’s flip-flop, Angie’s not the clear winner, so her feathers might be ruffled. Anyone entering a love triangle should know that she can lose just as much as she can win. Angie knew what she was doing when she began to play this game.  It’s dangerous, and the tables can turn at any time.  If a guy cheats WITH you, he may also cheat ON you. Angie’s got to feel insecure about Brad’s fickle nature.”

Do you think Angelina should be upset, HollywoodLifers?

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston used to be referred to as the Golden Couple, so despite the fact that they divorced and he’s now playing happy family man with Angelina Jolie, it was a shock to hear him speak negatively about his ex. If one of your former boyfriends makes harsh comments about you after a split, what should you do?

In a recent interview with Parade magazine, the A-list actor said, “I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

When he was met with harsh criticism for dissing America’s Sweetheart, he apologized to her in a statement that HollywoodLife.com obtained exclusively. ”It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend,” the statement reads.

It continues, “It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”

Although he’s said his piece and taken some of the sting out of his words, it’s only going to make Jen feel worse that she couldn’t be the excitement he needed to liven up his life, that she wasn’t enough. No matter how you look at it, it took another woman — his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, in fact — to give his life that thrill.

The only place that silence is the best policy in such a situation is Hollywood. Jen is smart to keep her mouth shut at the moment, especially because it appears that she’s finally getting over Brad with Justin Theroux.

If you’re in a similar situation, less is definitely more. That said, you want to say something; you can’t let a slight like that go.

If an ex calls you boring or pathetic or says his life was better without you in it, simply shrug and say, ‘I totally agree. Clearly that’s why I’m not with him.’

By issuing such a small, noncommittal statement, you’re saying that not only are you over your ex completely, but that it was you who did the dumping. Even if that isn’t the case, it still sounds as if the decision to break-up was yours. How’s that for winning?

In a new interview with Brad, the actor gushes about his true love Angie, their amazing family and how he went from a ‘pathetic’ man to a ‘satisfied’ father.

After his marriage to Jennifer Aniston ended in 2005, Brad Pitt thrust himself into fatherhood, meeting the woman he loves, Angelina Jolie and settling into her “interesting” life. But surprisingly, Brad admits becoming a father right out of the gates was very much “instinctual” and he felt the urge to be better.

“When Angie and I first met, we came together quite quickly and we decided we were adopting,” Brad tells Parade magazine. “Now the rules are that because we are not married, I can’t adopt. Angie adopts. We decided we were adopting a daughter. We were going to do it right out of the gate. We were not going to mess around.”

“Angie said, ‘No shopping [for kids].’ I thought that was astute and beautifully put. It took the pressure off of adoption and brought a magic to it,” Brad continues. “We had set our parameters—we had room in our family if anyone needed a home. We got the call, and that’s our eldest daughter, Zahara.”

Brad goes on to explain how “instinctual” parenthood was and how he simply fell into the role. And he’s obviously good at it — he’s got six amazing kids, Maddox, 10, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

“I was surprised at how automatic it is, how much of it is instinctual,” Brad says of fatherhood. “And now I have a great confidence and trust in those instincts. I mean, one sound at night and you’re awake and up because they may need you. Or when they start to have a tantrum, you know to divert them from spinning out by helping them focus on something. It just goes on and on. I tell them, ‘You can make a mess, but you’ve got to clean it up.’”

And when it comes to his six messy kids, Brad says they’re all different and unique in their own ways and he credits nature vs. nurture for that. “If you ask me about nature versus nurture, I’m going to say it is 80 percent nature, absolutely,” he explains. “You see [a child’s character] six, maybe nine months in. Now, some of our kids need more nurturing than others. Some have more delicacy. They’re all just unique individuals.”

And will Brad and Angelina — who he says is “such a great mom” — be adding any more unique individuals to their beautiful brood? Sounds like it could be a possibility!

“I mean, how many stories have you read that aren’t true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up?” Brad says. “And when we don’t split up, there’s a whole new round that we’ve made up and we’re back together again! We’ll get married when everyone can. We’re not splitting up. And we don’t have a seventh child yet.”

YET! Oh, we sense number seven soon!

Cory Monteith opens up in a new interview with Parade magazine, where he confesses he used to steal money to support his drug habit that began when he was 13. The Glee star, who dropped out of high school at age 16 after having attended 12 schools in Victoria, British Columbia, admits, “I was out of control. [I used] anything and everything, as much as possible. I had a serious problem.”

Cory reveals his mother, who raised him after divorcing his parents divorced when he was 7, staged an intervention along with a group of friends when Cory was 19, because they were afraid he “could die.”

“I’m lucky to be alive,” admits Cory.

“That’s when I first went to rehab. I did the stint but then went back to doing exactly what I left off doing.” He didn’t start becoming serious about getting clean until he “stole a significant amount of money from a family member.” The Monte Carlo actor admits, “I knew I was going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn’t care. It was a cry for help.” He also reveals, “A lot of things went missing when I was around; I had high overhead to take care of.”

Cory’s family member told him he had a choice: get clean or he’d be reported to the police.

“I was done fighting myself,” said Cory, who proceeded to move in with a family friend in a nearby Canadian city. He quit drugs, started a job as a roofer and worked with an acting coach, which lead him to where he is now.

“I don’t want kids to think it’s okay to drop out of school and get high, and they’ll be famous actors, too,” explains Cory. “But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it. If I can, anyone can.”

Cory recently received a high school diploma from an alternative school he went to in Victoria, British Columbia. Congratulations!

It is so refreshing to hear such a candid and heartfelt account of a troubled past which through hard work and dedication has turned Cory into an inspirational role model. Are you proud of Cory for revealing so much about his hardships? Are you surprised to hear what he’s gone through?

OK, minus the nose-picking! HA! Well, they are mother and daughter, but Jess and Honor look so much alike! Do you agree? VOTE!

Jessica Alba, 29, posted this picture of herself on Facebook and when we saw it, all we could think about was her 2½-year-old little girl, Honor! The adorable mommy-daughter duo are kiddie look-alikes! (And how hilarious is it that Jessica posted a pic of herself picking her nose!!)

“Making my family happy is the only thing I really care about,” Jessica, who is expecting baby number two with husband Cash Warren, tells Parade Magazine. “I love my job, but it’ s not the reason I get up in the morning. I get up to make my daughter smile.”

And look at that smile! Honor obviously gets her personality from her mom — ehem, picking your nose Jessica?

So HollyMoms, does Honor look like Jessica or her daddy, Cash?

Sometimes, it’s nice to just have a Mommy Day. Jennifer Garner proved it once again by showing her two daughters, Violet, 5, and Seraphina, almost 2, a lovely time Sunday (December 5) in Pacific Palisades. They ladies checked out a Hannukah festival and a petting zoo and enjoyed a train ride as well as lunch at the Farmer’s Market! Luckily, Jennifer’s own mom, Pat Garner, tagged along to help her daughter out. HollyMoms, who do you enlist to help when you go out with your little ones?

Read about when Jen’s husband Ben Affleck took the girls on a little field trip of his own.

Even a super mom like Jen, 38, knows how important it is to have friends and family around to help care for the kids. “You should try to get help wherever you can,” she told Parade magazine last year. “Don’t guilt yourself, it doesn’t help. Do anything you can to try to save time with the dumb stuff around the house so you can be with your kids as much as you can. And put your BlackBerry down and just be with them.” From these pictures, it’s clear that Jennifer definitely makes her daughters a priority. It’s too bad that Violet and Seraphina’s daddy, Ben Affleck, wasn’t around to share in all the family fun.

Angelina and Brad’s oldest daughter, Zahara, might be spending her life traveling the world, but at least she has a furry friend to hang with in Hungary!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt not only travel with their six children, but their dogs are jet-setters as well! Three pooches — two pugs and a bulldog — were spotted running around the backyard of the family’s rented home in Hungary — and it seems like Zahara, 5, has a BFF in her bulldog, Jack! The tiny tot was spotted giving her furry friend a little treat as he relaxed on the outdoor couch!

Brad attends the Megamind premiere with Maddox and Pax!

Jack is a star in his own right — he graced the pages of Parade magazine with Brad back in August of 2009! Is that why Zahara is waiting on him while he lounges on the couch, enjoying the fresh Hungarian air? But it’s great that they travel with their pets, as it probably helps the kids to adjust more easily to each new location Brad and Angelina drag them to!

Inside the Jolie-Pitt’s Hungarian mansion!

The Jolie-Pitt brood sure has one massive group to travel with — Brad, Angelina, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, Vivienne, nannies, bodyguards, assistants and dogs! Whew! No wonder they rent such big, sprawling estates!

Matt Damon became a bona fide movie star by playing super secret agent Jason Bourne, but his best role these days is playing super dad! The star of the new movie Hereafter is about to become a father for the fourth and — if he means what he says — last time, and knows that the most important thing he can do these days is focus on raising his four daughters right. “If I had a bucket list, I’d say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be number one,” the 40-year-old says in the new issue of Parade magazine.

Check out Matt’s comments on living in a house with four women!

And, he insists, four is all he’s going to have. “My wife [Luciana, 35] is about to have our fourth kid and we’ve drawn a line in the sand. This is it. Our lives are full and wonderful and we’re done having kids. Lucy is in her third trimester for the fourth time and I think that’s about enough to ask of any woman.”

Matt admits he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long, long time

Matt’s new movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, is about what might be waiting for us after death, and he admits it’s a topic that comes up with his daughters. “I think what’s important for kids to know is that your decisions here on earth matter, your behavior matters, and how you treat other people matters. It matters here and I’m hoping that it matters in the afterlife, too. It just comes down to accountability for your own behavior that’s important.”
