BILLY BOB: ANGELINA JOLIE STILL "ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS"

Years after their bitter break-up, Billy Bob Thornton claims he and Angelina Jolie are still tight.
"I've never said anything but good things about any relationship I've had and, frankly, that's all I remember about them," he tells Parade.
"I have the utmost respect for Angelina. She's a very sweet person, very talented and one of my best friends in the world."
Can you believe these celebs once hooked up?
Thornton returns to the big screen this weekend alongside Shia LaBeouf in the thriller Eagle Eye.
In the movie, his character has a chase scene on a maze of airport baggage conveyor belts.
Um, intense?
"We were up really high falling from one belt to another. You couldn't stand up because you might get your head knocked off," he recalls. "I came through it OK, but Michelle [Monaghan] got a nasty welt on her neck. Looking back, maybe I should have called for a stunt man."

Off-screen, things are less chaotic.
"My favorite thing is watching television," he says. "Every time somebody says, 'Hey, let's go to the Cobra Club' or whatever, I don't know what they're talking about. I don't know where anything trendy is."
Adds Thornton (who welcomed a daughter, Bella, in 2004 with girlfriend Connie Angland): "I watch TV, play with the kids and then go into the recording studio and do my music until the wee hours."
