BRAD Pitt wants to set one thing straight regarding his wife Angelina Jolie: She's not a homewrecker. "What people don't understand is that we filmed ['Mr. & Mrs. Smith'] for a year. We were still filming after Jen [Aniston] and I split up," he tells W in the annual "A-List" February issue. "Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't. I'm very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful." Aniston might disagree -- she called Jolie's comment that the couple fell in love on-set "uncool" - but Pitt downplays any animosity.

"Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there's a second round to all that Angie versus Jen. It's so created," he claims. "We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don't see how there cannot be [that]. That's life, man. That's life."

Aniston's currently working on a film called Pumas, which she calls "sort of a female Wedding Crashers" about two "aspiring cougars."

"It is so a comment on the sexual double standard, and what's been ironic is how hard it's been to get this movie made," she says. "Studios want it, but they are afraid of Middle America. They'd want to change it; they're saying, 'Oh, you can't do that, people just can't imagine you ..."

"The funny thing is that people don't realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends..."

"Well, you know, that was definitely a confirmation for me of something that wasn't quite confirmed at the time. But listen... You sit there and you... No. No daggers through the heart. I laugh. Am I surprised? Well, how do I say this?... Considering the source, nothing surprises me."

"Look, I think all women on some level just want to rage against the machine... There are too many movies out there that don't empower women, movies in which their only way of being happy is finding a man. And you know, that's not my favorite theme."

Like many a Hollywood couple, they initially consulted with representatives of Beverly Hills' baby store Petit Tresor for a plan, but when Pitt and Jolie couldn’t come to an agreement on theme, a psychic was brought in to settle on a plan. "It's totally true," says a source familiar with the meeting. "The psychic was to determine the 'vibe' of the twins."

Apparently it was determined the vibe was more girly than modern. “Brad wanted a nursery filled with furniture with "clean lines" — sort if '60s modern and lots of natural wood colors and whites," the source says. "Angelina was much more interested in creating a classic European nursery."

The end result: Petit Tresor got to work stocking the nursery with organza bassinets with pink bows, pink Versailles-style cribs with matching changing tables and armoires, and custom-made crystal chandeliers made in France. The source reports that the total cost of the nursery is actually less than what has been reported thus far. "(The reported) $140,000 is a bit high," the source says. "It may only be about $100,000."

"I love you, Brad" ends a not-so-secret 18-carat golden love-letter from Pitt to Angelina Jolie, offered shortly before the A-list couple flew in for the Cannes film festival last month.

Made by a master Paris engraver, the love-letter pendant, a miniature gold card slipped discreetly into a golden envelope, begins: "I find you in the morning sky, in the sound of children's laughter, in the motion of every stirring wind." "I love you, Brad," the message ends.

The around 1,500-euro piece of jewelry from Pitt to Jolie also includes a portrait of tiny Pax Thien, the last of three children adopted by the couple who also have a birth daughter, Shiloh, said a spokesman for the French luxury engraver and printer Cassegrain.

E!'s resident red carpet man-about-town Ryan Seacrest is not pleased with Angelina Jolie giving him the brush-off when he tried to interview her at the Golden Globe Awards Monday night. Seacrest, who was covering the event as part of E!'s pre-show, went off on Jolie on his KIIS-FM radio show in L.A. on Wednesday morning.

"I asked her four questions and she didn't even answer me," he complained. "I literally stood there and tried to ask a couple of questions. At one point I just kind of let the E! microphone sit in front of her for a second to see if she was going to acknowledge it, and she clearly wanted nothing to do with me or my question or my answer or any of it.”

Seacrest was more forgiving of Jolie's other half, Brad Pitt, who was standing next to her during the interview and did most of the talking. "Brad was fantastic." The host went on to praise the actress for her charity work, but complained about her dour expression on the red carpet: "I think doing good is fantastic. A lot of people are benefiting around the world from their doing of all of these noble things. But smile."

Cohost Ellen K then came to Angie’s defense saying, "Well, she has said that she finds all these award shows a waste of time and money." "Well then don't go," Seacrest shot back. "Don't go. Don't go support your man. Don't go."

It was a big moment for Kelly Gray when Angelina Jolie stepped onto the red carpet at the Golden Globes this week in a charcoal grey St. John gown. That's because Gray, the former face of St. John, a role that Jolie now holds, was part of the team that designed the dress for the Oscar-winning actress. "It was one of my career highlights to see her in the dress on the red carpet," Gray said by phone on Thursday.

She added that Jolie "was a pleasure to work with and has an incredible sense of style." Gray, a former executive at Irvine-based St. John and daughter of the founders, remains a consultant to the company. She left day-to-day duties at St. John in 2005.
