"Angie's having fun playing the role of seductress,” says her friend. “But she also has a purpose-she really wants another baby!”More baby reports?  It seems that way.  The magazine has Brangelina on the cover and they claim that after six months of fighting a trip to London has renewed the spark.  The magazine cites their shopping trip as proof.  A source told the UK Daily Mail that Brad, 43, and Angelina, 32, made a discreet trip to a high-end sex shop called Coco de Mer, where the couple spent more than an hour stocking up on bedroom goodies.

Director Robert Zemeckis created the film using a motion-capture computer program.The actors worked in an empty room wearing nothing but body suits covered with hundreds of yellow dots. Those dots were used to record the information needed to make the animated version of the actor's performance.Jolie says she was excited about the opportunity to work with Zemeckis, the man behind such films as Back to the Future and The Polar Express.She was so excited about the opportunity, Jolie was agreeable to anything tossed her way.“I was told I was going to play a lizard. Then I was brought into a room with Bob and all these pictures. He showed me this picture of a woman half-painted gold, then a lizard,'' Jolie says.Who wouldn't want to play a role that at times is a green, slimy creature who lives in the water and at other times looks like a Victoria's Secret model who forgot to dress for work?The character in the animated film is a lizard-like shape shifter who takes on a revealing human form when she tries to seduce Beowulf.Jolie worked only a few days on Beowulf, but that doesn't mean the shoot was not demanding.She had to wear a harness to pretend to swim and fly. Zemeckis even had the actor learn Old English, to use when talking to Grendel.
