Angelina Jolie shocked the world back in May when she announced she had a preventive double mastectomy. But there was one woman who knew her secret all along and was with the mom of six every step of the way.Dr. Kristi Funk of the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills treated Jolie, 38, and speaks about the actress' brave journey in the September issue of Los Angeles magazine.The Oscar winner decided to undergo a double mastectomy earlier this year after genetic tests showed her to have a high risk of developing breast cancer. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56.In the piece, Funk says Jolie "waited to find the perfect timing in her personal and professional life, but I think most importantly in her soul," to tell the world what she had done. "She is intensely private, but she calculated the moment when she would be ready to reveal something so personal."Keep up with Angelina Jolie in the pages of PEOPLE Magazine by subscribing now.Funk says Jolie's honesty about the surgery helped raise awareness and got people talking about breast cancer and the faulty gene, BRCA1 and BRCA2, that may cause it."When someone who is arguably the most beautiful woman in the world removes the part of her body that is symbolic of femininity and sexuality, you have to say, 'Why would she do that?'" Funk tells the magazine.But it was Jolie's desire to help others that propelled her to share her secret. "She knew always that in her philanthropic core she couldn't keep this a secret and be who she is," says Funk. "She always knew."

The pair were apparently set to fly from London to L.A on the same flight over the weekend.Jennifer Aniston may have divorced ex-hubby Brad Pitt back in 2005, but it seems like she may still hold some kind of grudge against him and other half Angelina Jolie, with the 44-yea-old actress allegedly changing her travel plans when she found out Ange was booked on the same plane.The showbiz pair were allegedly due to fly from London to Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday, but Jennifer is said to have flown out on Monday instead."Jen had her assistant reschedule the flight for today when her camp caught wind that Angelina was set to fly out after her appearance at the D23 Expo on Saturday," a source tells X17 Online.Apparently Angelina took her planned flight with adopted son Maddox, leaving Jen to jet out of the US shortly before 6pm the following day, the website continues.Meanwhile, Jennifer has been forced to deny pregnancy rumours again recently, admitting to Australia's Kyle and Jackie O show that there was no baby news to report, just a little weight gain."There's nothing to announce. That's just a couple of lbs," she tells the hosts.There had also been speculation that a party Jen threw for Justin over the weekend to celebrate his 42nd birthday was actually going to be a secret wedding ceremony.Unfortunately for those wanting to see the pair wed, it was not to be, and the party really was a birthday bash.But with guests such as Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman and Isla Fisher attending the do at Jen’s Bel Air mansion, we’re sure there was no disappointment.She admitted on the radio show: “I've had helicopters divebombing the house today. It's fine - it's totally fine. There's no wedding this weekend - you heard it first here! "I just think, why not just wait until we have the fun of announcing something instead of playing the guessing game, whether it be family, weddings, this, that, the other thing."
