The actress plans for the future ahead of surgery to remove her ovaries.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt plan to add more children to their family of six kids, but the family will have to face a couple more challenges before bringing home a new baby.Angelina has opted to undergo another preventative surgery to remove her ovaries, but not before harvesting her eggs in anticipation of creating another child with her partner, Brad.“Angie knows Brad wants more children, so she’s decided to freeze her eggs before the procedure so that they can add to the family in time,” a source told Star magazine.The Oscar-winning actress had a double mastectomy in February 2013 after learning she carried the same genetic disposition as her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.“She’s amazing to muster the strength to face yet another major medical procedure and still plan for another baby,” the source said.Doctors estimated Angelina faced an 87 percent risk of breast cancer before the surgery, according to her New York Times editorial, My Medical Choice, she wrote last May. Her risk of ovarian cancer is 50 percent.“Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could,” she wrote about her decision to undergo the first surgery that dropped her chances of breast cancer to under five percent.Angelina chose the double mastectomy first because of the extensive nature of the surgery. She managed to keep the three months of procedures private and continued to work during that time.She adopted her first child Maddox from Cambodia in 2002. Three years later she adopted daughter Zahara from Ethiopia. Brad then adopted both children himself, with their surnames changed to Jolie-Pitt.The couple welcomed its first biological child, daughter Shiloh, in 2006. The next year they adopted son Pax from Vietnam.Kids five and six were twins Knox and Vivienne, born in 2008.

Already thought Sleeping Beauty villain Maleficent was scary? Wait until you see her powerful, never-before-seen wings, exclusively revealed today by USA TODAY. From the U.K. set of the epic Disney live-action film, Angelina Jolie reveals what it was like to fly with her wings in in the classic tale's reboot — and the workout she begrudgingly agreed to.Hooked up on rigs in full costume (yes, even those horns) on set at Pinewood Studios, "you're almost like a puppet with all these people moving (beneath you)," says Jolie. "When you go to the left or the right all of you have to move together. It's a big dance with a lot of people." How did she pull it off? Well, through a regimen Jolie admits she eschews. Jolie's longtime stunt coordinator Eunice Huthart (a close friend, who is also godmother to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt) slowed down and intensified her workouts. "She made me do yoga. And I have no patience for yoga," says Jolie. "It's not something I do easily, because I'm not a still person. But I was forced to do yoga because (to fly) you have to have your core strength to be able to hold yourself." Great power comes from Maleficent's wings, which are stolen from her dark fairy in the new film. As for Jolie, the actress flies with more ferocity than any A-list Disney-backed villain to date. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world that I get to fly," says Jolie with a laugh. "I really feel like I'm flying!" Maleficent is set for a May 30 release.

Angelina Jolie Blushes When Asked About 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Rumor

Before Sam Taylor-Wood was signed on to direct "Fifty Shades of Grey", there was a rumor that Angelina Jolie was mentioned as a possible helmer. Now, the "Maleficent" star addresses it during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. According to the interviewer, she let out a long laugh while shaking her head and blushing when asked about the matter. After a long contemplative pause, she then said, "I came very clear out of the gate: after 'Blood and Honey', if I ever directed again, it would have to be a certain kind of film." "You know, I'm looking forward to seeing what Sam does with '50 Shades' and she's amazing. I - I think they're just ... it's funny," she seemed struggling to find the right word. "I think with directing, you just think: I'm better at telling some stories than others but um, who knows?" After her critically-acclaimed directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey", the mother of six is helming another true-story drama "Unbroken" which is based on the story of World War hero Louis Zamperini. "The films that I've directed are both real stories," she said. "Even though the first one I wrote, it was based in history and you have such a responsibility - you have to be very careful of how you balance it. One day it might be fun to direct something where I don't have to be so careful. I can be completely, completely um ... bold and wild and irreverent and dark." Her next movie, "Maleficent", which tells the untold story of the villain in Sleeping Beauty tale, is scheduled to hit theaters Stateside on May 30.

Viv's putting her movie star genes to work! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's adorable 5-year-old daughter Vivienne Pitt is a natural as young Princess Aurora beside her famous mom in new stills released from the upcoming Disney thriller Maleficent.In one pic, Vivienne, who was 4-years-old at the time of filming, gives Jolie's "Mistress of All Evil" character an inquisitive stare while wearing a buttercup yellow dress.Jolie, 38, dressed in Maleficent's terrifying all-black costume (complete with terrifying horns!), looks down at her youngest daughter with an evil glare, while Viv nervously twiddles her fingers in response. The blue-eyed, blonde-haired little one strikes a remarkable resemblance to her dad in the still."It had to be Viv," Jolie recently told Entertainment Weekly of why her daughter was cast in the young Sleeping Beauty role. (Elle Fanning plays the grown-up version of Aurora in the movie, opposite newcomer Brenton Thwaites as the dashing Prince Phillip.) "We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all." "The other 3-and 4-year-old [actors] wouldn't come near me," Jolie continued. "It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws." Indeed, as seen in the photos, Jolie is terrifying as Maleficent, with her blood red lips, a black cape, and elaborate horned headdress.Jolie confessed that the costume even scared her five other kids -- Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 7, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox. "When Pax saw me for the first time, he ran away and got upset," she told EW.Luckily, Pax overcame his fear and even has a cameo with Zahara in the movie. "I had to walk by them being very mean," Jolie recalled of the terrifying scene where she places a curse on newborn baby Aurora. "Of course, I wanted to stop and wink at them." Maleficent, due out May 30, tells the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the titular villainess.
