Actress ANGELINA JOLIE began crying during an interview aired on U.S. TV yesterday morning when talk turned to the death of her mother earlier this year.
Jolie’s mum Marcheline Bertrand passed away in January after a long battle with cancer.
In the interview screened on Today, the Tomb Raider said, “I’m in a strange, I suppose, place in my life. I think that happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. And yet, at the same time, you want to laugh and enjoy as much as possible every day.
“I’m hanging on to my family really tight at this moment, and, because of that, trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life.”
Tears then rolled down Jolie’s face and she said, “Dammit, you got me crying.”
Interviewer Ann Curry apologized and Jolie continued, “It’s alright. It’s a part of life… I lost my mom. It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, because I love her and she’s my friend.”

ANGELINA JOLIE has set her sights on starring in a JAMES BOND movie – playing either an evil villain or the first female Bond superspy.
Jolie was considered for the role of CASINO ROYALE Bond girl VESPER LIND, eventually played by EVA GREEN, but she was pregnant with daughter SHILOH NOUVEL and had to withdraw.
But she insists it’s still an ambition: “I’d love to be a Bond villain or the first female Bond.”

Hollywood’s hottest pair spent Christmas Day at a refugee camp in Costa Rica.
True to her philanthropic ways, Angelina Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and her bodacious boyfriend Brad Pitt visited Colombian refugees on Christmas day.
“We had a marvelous Christmas Day with the Costa Rican people and the families of the Colombian refugees that we met,” Jolie said in a statement released by UNHCR.
The dynamic duo gave presents to the children in the capital San Jose.
Currently, there are 11,500 refugees who fled to Costa Rica, most of whom are Colombian escaping the mounting conflicts between guerrillas, soldiers, and paramilitary officers.
After having a baby, most people receive gifts, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have given one away instead.
According to Access Hollywood, the new parents donated $300,000 to Namibian children and $15,000 to the African town of Swakopmund. For a school and community centre.
“We want to contribute to Namibia and the people who have been so gracious to us at this time,” a government statement quoting the couple said.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a girl named Shiloh, at the Welwitschia Clinic in Namibia Saturday. Jolie has two previously adopted children, who Pitt is in the process of adopting.
