Britney Spears has answered back to those who've said she's

been partying too hard since filing for divorce from Kevin

Federline after two years of marriage.

"It's been so long since I've been out on the town with friends.

It's also been 2 years since I've even celebrated my birthday,"

Spears, who marked her 25th birthday on Saturday with a bash at

Mr. Chow's restaurant in Beverly Hills, writes on her Web site.

The singer has been spotted out recently with with pals including

Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, and revealing photographs of her

getting out of the car have circulated online.

"Every move I make at this point has been magnified more than I

expected, and I probably did take my new found freedom a bit too

far," Spears writes. "Anyway, thank God for Victoria Secrets'

new underwear line! I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me."

She signs off: "I'm just getting started …. Happy Holidays everyone!"

Angelina Jolie: How Brad Pitt & I Fell in Love

TUESDAY DECEMBER 12, 2006 10:20 AM EST

For the first time, Angelina Jolie has described what happened

between her and Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith – and

he insists she never had any intention of breaking up his marriage

to Jennifer Aniston.

When she first met her costar on the set of the thriller in 2003,

"I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal

life," Jolie, 31, says in the January issue of Vogue, according to

excerpts published in the New York Post. "But it was clear he was

with his best friend, someone he loves and respects.

"And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives. ... I think

we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I

certainly wasn't. I was quite content to be a single mom."

But "Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very

distant impression of him from ... the media," she says.

"Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all

these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and

partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months

in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work.' ... Anything we

had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together

and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair."

They didn't start thinking about a relationship right away, she says.

"It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize

that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves

to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing,

something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."

The two remained "very, very good friends" from the time the movie

wrapped in 2004 until after Pitt and Aniston announced their separation

in January 2005, Jolie says.

Jolie says that the time she spent getting to know Pitt before his split

was "not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We

spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what

we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things.

"And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good

friends – with this realization – for a long time," she says. "And

then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt

like something we would do, we should do."

In fact, it was her son, Madddox, now 5, who helped seal the deal.

(Jolie and Pitt are also parents to Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months.)

One day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," says Jolie.

"It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room,

and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other.

So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we

would all be a family."

Jolie also says she'd be willing to meet with Aniston, but "That would be her

decision, and I would welcome it."

Pitt has said he and Jolie would not wed until all couples can legally marry,

and Jolie agrees that tying the knot is not a priority. "We both have been

married before, so it's not marriage that's necessarily kept some people

together," she says. "We are legally bound to our children, not to each other,

and I think that's the most important thing."
