Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt's Son Maddox, 13, Is a Production Assistant on Their Film: "It's So Weird"

For the Jolie-Pitts, making movies is a family affair. Angelina Jolie previously recruited daughterVivienne to appear as a young Aurora in her summer blockbusterMaleficent, and now she's enlisted eldest son Maddox to work on her upcoming feature film By the Sea, which costars husband Brad Pitt. Speaking about the romantic drama withDuJour magazine's Adam Rathe recently, the Unbroken director shared that Maddox, 13, is a production assistant on the movie.

"It's so weird," the 39-year-old actress told Rathe for DuJour's winter 2014 issue, referring to her son's role as a PA.

Weird or not, this isn't the first time Maddox has helped his parents at work. Pitt, 50, previously told ABC News' David Muir that his son schooled him on World War II trivia prior to the shoot for Fury.

"I don't know exactly how to define that love man has with machine, but my son, my oldest son, he could tell you any tank, any bomber...So I got a brief tutorial from him when we started," the proud dad said.

In fact, all six kids — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knoxand Vivienne — have great influence on their parents' choices, both personally and professionally. Even Jolie's new movie Unbroken, about POW and former Olympian Louis Zamperini, was made with her children in mind.

"In the back of my mind, I wanted to make a film that would help my boys become better men," she told DuJour. "They know Louie's story, so I'm able to say to them that it's not bad to be full of fire — it's what you choose to do with that fire."

Jennifer Lawrence: I'd Brush My Teeth To Kiss Bradley Cooper

Liam Hemsworth made Jennifer Lawrence's breath a water cooler discussion this weekend after telling Jimmy Fallon that kissing her was "uncomfortable" due to her garlic and/or tuna breath (an anecdote actress did not exactly appreciate being made public)!

"Thank you for reminding me that I'm mad at Liam – it made news everywhere. Where is he?" Jennifer told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson when asked about eating the notoriously breath-destroying foods prior to make-out scenes, at the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1."

The actress clarified the breath situation – she didn't deliberately attempt to make Liam's lip-locks unpleasant.

"I was never like, 'Hey Liam, I just ate tuna and garlic on purpose!'" she explained. "I just would happen to eat something. I didn't change the way I was eating for the kissing, which is different than eating something on purpose. Is it worse?!"

J.Law confessed there are actors for whom she will brush her teeth, but Liam and "Hunger Games" co-star Josh Hutcherson don't make the cut.

"I do that when I'm kissing like Christian Bale or like a real [star] -- not when it's like Josh and Liam," she laughed. "[For] Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, yeah, I'll brush my teeth. I'll pop a mint."

When Liam and Josh joined our interview, Shaun outted Jennifer's discriminatory brushing habits.

"[That's] one of the most awful things I've ever heard. One of the most awful things I've heard you say," joked Liam, when told J.Law keeps it fresh for Bradley and Christian. "I'm thinking about going home now. Oh my God, this gets worse and worse!"

Added Josh, "I believe that. I believe she wouldn't brush for us."

Liam eventually admitted that he didn't brush his teeth for Jennifer either.

"You know what? Look, if I was kissing Christian Bale I probably would have brushed my teeth too. With you, it's like, 'Eh. Whatever,'" he told Jennifer.

"Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1" hits theaters on November 21.

Nicki Minaj Wants Babies Soon: "I Feel Like I Was Put Here to Be a Mother"

Nicki Minaj's biological clock is ticking very loudly these days. Though the "Anaconda" rapper has spoken before about wanting to start a family, she hinted toComplex magazine in a new interview that she's feeling the urge a little more urgently now.

Asked what her biggest fear is, the 31-year-old hip-hop star replied, "That I'll become so consumed with work that I'll forget to live my personal life to the fullest. If I'm done with my fifth album and I don't have a child by then, no matter how much money I have, I would be disappointed, as a woman, because I feel like I was put here to be a mother."

Before she becomes a mother, though, she wants to become a wife. "I have definitely put off the wife thing because I don't want people in my business," she admitted to Complex. "I'd rather not do anything that's going to be on paper but I definitely will be married before I have my baby. I want to make sure I do it in that order. I've always felt like that since I was young; my mother always put that in my head."

Minaj is currently promoting her third studio album, The Pinkprint. According to her Complex mag interview, she's contractually obligated to put out six — but she doesn't want to wait until she's done to have kids.

"By the fifth album," she said, "I will have walked down the aisle and I will at least be on baby number one, possibly baby number two. And have $500 million."

As for what that means for her music, Minaj isn't sure. "I wonder if I'm going to be one of those women who balances my child with a career," she mused to Complex. "I always said, 'When I have my baby, it's going to be all about my baby.' I don't want the child feeling like they don't have all of my attention, so I always said, 'I'm going to take a little break.' But we'll see."

Claudia Jordan, RHOA Newcomer, Used to Be BFF With Kim Kardashian -- See the Throwback Pictures!

Claudia Jordan may have just been introduced on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but she goes way back with Kim Kardashian! The newest Housewife used to party with the reality star and was photographed with Kardashian repeatedly up until 2008.

Although it's unclear what caused a break in the pair's friendship, Jordan would accompany Kanye West's wife to numerous birthday parties and red carpet events, including one fete where they were snapped feeding each other cake.

Jordan, whose past also includes being a model on The Price Is Right and holding the title of Miss Rhode Island, was rumored to have gotten into a fight with Kim's sisterKhloe Kardashian in 2009 about Khloe's now estranged husband Lamar Odom. At the time, Jordan reportedly confronted Khloe about Odom at a party and things got ugly which may be the reason the reality star is no longer affiliated with North West's mom.

Jordan, however, denied the incident to Bossip and said: "I never even dated Lamar and I haven’t talked to Khloe in like a year. When the incident ‘happened’ I wasn’t even in town."

Christina Hendricks' Curves Are Out of Control in the Best Way in Off-the-Shoulder Green Dress

Curves ahead!

Sometimes, Christina Hendricks' red carpet styles pale in comparison to the perfectly tailored, retro frocks she wears as Joan Harris on Mad Men. But not this time! The redheaded actress slayed the red carpet at the 2014 CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute on Wednesday, Nov. 19, in NYC.

Hendricks, 39, slipped into an off-the-shoulder Zac Posen dress that hugged her famous hourglass shape. A golden clutch, drop earrings, and gold-flecked satin pumps by Bionda Castana completed her fabulous—and festive—ensemble.

And we weren't the only ones who couldn't keep our eyes off of her! Hendricks' husband, Geoffrey Arend, joined his wife of five years on the carpet, and he could not stop gushing about her.

"I love how she takes care of the people around her," Arend, 36, exclusively told SOURCE. "Wherever she is and whoever she’s around, she’s got this thing inside of her that makes her want to help people. I don’t know if I have as much [of that] inside of me, so I look at that and I find joy in it. I find a lesson for myself."

The Firefly alum, who also posed for pictures with Benedict Cumberbatch and Questlove at the event, returned the compliment. "I was going to say the exact same thing about him," Hendricks said, then turned to her love. "You take care of your family and your friends!”

Iggy Azalea and Nick Young Bought Selena Gomez's House in Tarzana For $3.45 Million

First things first, she's the real estatest (shout out to Friday afternoon!). Painfully uncool Australian rapper Iggy Azalea became a little bit painfully uncooler in late September, when she decided to buy a Disney princess McMansion in the Valley. And not just in the Valley—in Tarzana. Azalea and her boyfriend, Lakers player Nick Young (aka Swaggy P), bought the six-bedroom, seven-and-three-quarter-bathroom house from pop singer Selena Gomez, reports Variety, and we're being a little too mean, it's really not so bad at all. (However, it is definitely not the "Prettiest House in the Valley," as the listing claimed.) It came with dining room, butler's pantry, wood-burning fireplace, guest suite with separate entrance, a pool, built-in barbecue, fire pit, and a basketball court, all on .83 acres. Gomez bought it in 2011 for $2.175 million; Azalea and Young paid $3.45 million. Gomez is on to a house in Calabasas near her on-again-off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber.
