What a gift

Brad Pitt bought Angelina Jolie a motorcycle for her 35th birthday. She says, "I'm not sure what cc it is. But I can tell you it's a proper bike and it's powerful. I used to have a bike years ago, but I hadn't owned one for a long time. Brad's a really good teacher - he's really patient. I'm very impatient so I can wreck a bike if I'm not careful. Sometimes we'll go on the track together and there you can go really fast and let your hair down."

Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography

Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography was released on Saturday. Among the juicy tidbits author Andrew Morton dug up:

• Mick Jagger, who was married at the time to Jerry Hall, who was expecting their fourth child, reportedly pursued Jolie for two years at the urging of Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

• John Cusack chased Jolie on the set of "Pushing Tin". She spurned him in favor of co-star Billy Bob Thornton, who eventually left his fiancee Laura Dern, Jolie's onetime baby-sitter, to marry her in Vegas.

• Angelina once peed in an empty Mountain Dew bottle, chilled it in the fridge and then gave it to her father's mistress, Stacey Pickren.

• Angelina, always fascinated with death, at one time wanted to be a funeral director, going so far as to complete a test from the Funeral Service Institute handbook.

• Billy Bob's wedding present to Angelina was a white rat named Fat Harry.

Robbing the Cradle

Famed biographer Andrew Morton claims Angelina Jolie slept with her mother's boyfriend when she was just 16. A source tells NOW, "Marcheline had a live-in boyfriend whom she was very much in love with, but Ange slept with him when she was 16 and barely out of school. Marcheline broke up with her boyfriend when she found out the truth, but it caused a rift between mother and daughter that took several years to repair. She has hardly anyone left in life who likes or trusts her. It seems like if her mom could forgive her for that, maybe Angie should forgive her dad, especially if she's running low on friends and family!"
