Billy Bob says Angelina is a "great mother"
Billy Bob Thornton has praised ex wife Angelina Jolie for being a "great mother". The wild actor, whose tempestuous marriage to Angelina ended in 2002, says the screen beauty is a wonderful parent to adopted son Maddox and is delighted she has decided to adopt a second child, Ethiopian orphan Zahara.
He revealed: "She cares so much for kids who don't have anything. Any kid Angelina adopts is going to have a great mother." Thornton also revealed he tries to see Angelina's son Maddox whenever the 'Tomb Raider' star, who now lives in the UK, visits Los Angeles. He added: "I see them every time she comes to town."
Meanwhile, Angelina has reportedly introduced lover Brad Pitt to her mother. The couple were spotted with Angelina's two children at the Raffles L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the actress's mum, Marcheline Bertrand, lives.
Witnesses say hunky Brad, who has made no secret of his desire to become a father, was carrying Angelina's baby daughter Zahara.

Green Day looks set to triumph at this year's MTV Video Music Awards with a staggering eight nominations. The rock band - who have enjoyed phenomenal success with their latest album 'American Idiot' - have received the majority of award nods for their 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' video, while their 'American Idiot' promo is up for Best Art Direction.
Frontman Billie Jo Armstrong, who is hoping to win honours for Video of the Year, Best Group Video and Viewers' Choice, admits he is overwhelmed by the amount of nominations. He said: "This whole thing has just been surreal. It's an amazing feeling when you get recognised for one thing, but when you get nominated eight times over, it goes to a whole new level."
In the prestigious Video of the Year category, Green Day - who will perform at the Miami ceremony, hosted by P Diddy, on August 28 - face stiff competition from Coldplay, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and Gwen Stefani.

Eminem turns diva
Eminem has turned into a diva after making a series of outrageous demands for his upcoming UK tour - including a huge bucket of KFC chicken and a fully equipped games room.
The US rapper brings his 'Anger Management' show, on which he is touring with protégé 50 Cent, to Britain in September but he has already made specific requests for what luxury items he expects in his dressing room.
Eminem has told promoters he wants a "play room" - which "must accommodate eight persons" - complete with a giant TV, a Sony Playstation 2, basketball hoop and a table tennis table.
The 'Ass Like That' singer has also told organisers the room must contain specific food and alcohol, including luxury cognac, expensive Cristal champagne, and European-strength lager.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "For Eminem's dates in Manchester he specifies that he wants two cases of Heineken lager, two bottles of Hennessy cognac and three bottles of Cristal champagne. "He also wants a 24-piece bucket of KFC and a selection of mixed sweets and chocolates."
The 32-year-old hip-hop star has also requested a personal masseuse to be on hand at all times and a selection of low-carb health products. The source added: "The services of a masseuse must be available and the artist has also said he wants 10 low-carb protein bars, and half-a-dozen cans of low-carb protein shakes."
Kabbalah blessing for Britney's baby
Britney Spears has planned a special Kabbalah blessing for her baby. The pregnant star has booked the religious group's Los Angeles head quarters for a September ceremony - nine days after her baby is due.
The blonde singer and her husband Kevin Federline hope to invite up to 70 guests to the special ceremony, including fellow follower Madonna, who introduced Britney to the religion.
Madonna is also said to be helping Britney organise the event. A source revealed: "Maddona introduced her to the faith and Britney has become more and more intrigued by it." Britney, who was raised as a Baptist, credits Kabbalah with turning her life around and says it helped her get rid of a lot of negative influences that were leading her down the wrong path.
She said: "Whatever your religion may be, it's amazing what the power of prayer can do, it can even perform miracles."
