Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight thinks it's "wonderful" the mom of six wants more kids.

Jolie is "part of a legacy of my dad ... [they both have] this idea about family," Voight told Us. "She always had this very unusual idea -- and her brother's like that, too. Her brother has this great love for protecting children."

| JOHN MCCAIN POKES FUN AT HIS 'MAVERICK' STATUS ON SNL Blog |
With the presidential election just days away, Republican presidential candidate John McCain made an appearance on Saturday Night Live, drawing laughs while making fun of himself.
In response to Barack Obama's purchase of airtime on several major networks on Wednesday, McCain joked in the opening sketch that he could only afford airtime on QVC, hawking everything from pork knives to commemorative plates.
"I'm a true Maverick: a Republican without money!" he quipped. "My only showbiz connections are Jon Voight and Heidi from The Hills."Also making an appearance in the sketch: Cindy McCain, who lent a hand selling "McCain Fine Gold Jewelry," and Tina Fey, who reprised her role as McCain's running mate Sarah Palin.
Fey not only drew laughs selling "Limited Edition Joe Action Figures" including Joe the Plumber, Joe Six Pack and Joe Biden, but also for "going rogue" and selling Palin 2012 shirts.
But arguably, McCain's shining moment came during the Weekend Update segment, during which audience members clapped, cheered and even booed when he was introduced to discuss campaign strategies.
"My basic strategy is the one I've stuck with since I started this campaign," he said. "Connect with the voters, talk with them honestly about the issues, stand by my record of service to this great country."
But still, McCain told to SNL's Seth Meyers he's "considering a few radical last minute strategies."
Such ideas included the Reverse Maverick ("I do whatever everybody tells me!"

| ANGELINA JOLIE: "BARACK OBAMA WOULD BE GREAT FOR MY FAMILY" Blog |
Angelina Jolie doesn't have a problem backing Democrat Barack Obama.
"Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay," she tells the German edition of Vanity Fair. "They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family."
See Barack Obama's family album.
Still, Jolie - whose father, Jon Voight, has endorsed John McCain - says just because Obama would be a good example for her family isn't "reason enough to vote for him."
Check out Barack Obama's biggest celeb supporters.
Despite living across the world (she flew back to Nice, France, this week), Jolie says, "I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports.
"For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations," she says. "My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans."

As for her new twins, Jolie admits, "It's a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one.
"But it also makes for double the fun," she adds. "After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket.
"Brad took care of them. He said to me, 'Go back to sleep, you're back to work in the morning,' and moved into the kids' room with them. He is an
astounding father, full of devotion."
For the most part, the twins "have quite similar, stable rhythms," she says. "Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet.
"When you see them, you think they were made for each other," Jolie continues. "They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful."
The hardest part of her life these days?
Finding alone time with Pitt.
"Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed," she says. "But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids."

As the most famous woman in the world, Jolie says, "I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids.
"Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible.
"On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That's why I don't feel isolated from that, which is important to me," she says. "It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he's experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have."

| ELISABETH HASSELBECK ROCKS THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Blog |
The View co-host and well-known Republican enthusiast Elisabeth Hasselbeck spent the day wowing delegates at the Republican National Convention Thursday.
Hasselbeck, 31, served as the official emcee at a luncheon for Cindy McCain just hours before John McCain's big speech. Hasselbeck also showed off vintage-style "McCain '08" T-shirts she designed herself, and spent time on the floor of the convention taping a segment that will air on Monday, Sept. 8, onThe View. "She was a bit of a rock star," a source tells PEOPLE. "The Republicans were all over her, fawning over her, telling her she was the best, clapping and cheering at her speech at the lunch. She wrote it herself, by the way."
On the floor of the convention center, Hasselbeck – whose second child, Taylor Thomas, will celebrate his first birthday just days after the November elections – was seen shaking hands with delegates between interviewing Jon Voight, Cindy McCain, Roberta McCain, Stephen Baldwin, Henry Kissinger and Sean Hannity. Fox News Channel's Hannity was even a lucky recipient of one of her limited-edition T-shirts. "He said it was a little small, but cute. So he kept it," the source says.
Hasselbeck also scored a one-on-one meeting the GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Hasselbeck will continue spending time with the McCain family next week when their daughter Meghan is a guest on the show Tuesday. Then on Friday, John and Cindy McCain will sit with Hasselbeck, Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd on the chat-fest's couch for an entire show. Their appearance will kick off The View's "Red, White and View" campaign of programming aimed at getting the vote out in November.

| JON VOIGHT: ROSEANNE BARR IS "SICK OF MIND" Blog |
Jon Voight has responded to Roseanne Barr's recent blog post, which slams his daughter Angelina Jolie.
"We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents," Voight told Extra on Tuesday. "[Roseanne's] parents responded to the accusation by going on the air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed."
See photos of Angelina through the years.
Voight continued, "Her defaming of our National Anthem in 1990 gave us insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing."
Barr (a Barack Obama supporter) attacked Jolie for recently saying she is undecided about the presidential election.
"Miss Jolie says she likes [John] McCain too and hasn't decided who to endorse....huh?" Roseanne wrote. "Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party's worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?"

Voight told Extra, "My allegiance to Senator McCain becomes stronger with any assault that tries to deter my loyalty to him."
He added: "I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind)."

| ROSEANNE BLASTS ANGELINA JOLIE, BRAD PITT AS "EVIL, VACUOUS" Blog |
Roseanne isn't a fan of Brad and Angie.
In a post titled "Jon Voight" on her Web site, she slams the celeb couple.
"Your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about $40 million a year in violent, psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children, trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more," Roseanne writes.

She also attacks the actress for recently saying she is undecided about the presidential election.
"Miss Jolie says she likes [John] McCain too and hasn't decided who to endorse....huh?" Roseanne writes. "Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party's worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?"
She claims that Jolie's "Thai and Vietnamese sons" are also "victims of America's right-wing military incursions too."
Roseanne writes that "it might be good for your Asian and African children's self-esteem to know you support" Barack Obama, a man of color, "for the leader of the free world."

She signs off her post: "Now go back to making your movies about women who love to handle big guns that shoot hundreds of people to death."

| ANGELINA JOLIE'S DAD: "SHE WASN'T THE KIND THAT PLAYED WITH DOLLS" Blog |
Angelina Jolie's estranged father is surprised she became the mother of six young children.
"You know she wasn't the kind that played with dolls and then all of the sudden she has all of these children," actor Jon Voight, 69, said on Fox & Friends Thursday on the Fox News Channel.
"She loves kids though," he added. "She's very playful. It's wonderful."
Jolie and beau Brad Pitt welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne (conceived through in vitro) earlier this month. They join the pair's adopted brood of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

| ANGELINA JOLIE'S DAD SLAMS BARACK OBAMA Blog |
Actor Jon Voight, the 69-year-old father of Angelina Jolie, has penned a biting critique of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
"The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way," he wrote in the Washington Times Monday.
"The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds," he wrote, comparing Obama's campaign with the "Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement" in the 1960s.
Voight theorizes that "Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger" who "will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America" if he is elected.
The actor concludes: "If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way."
See photos of Barack Obama: Just Like Us.
Jolie has yet to make up her mind about the election.
"I think people assume I'm a Democrat," she told Entertainment Weekly. "But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at [John McCain] as well as Obama."
She has also used the editorial page to get her opinion out.
In February, she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post about the "moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families."

The Obama campaign, meanwhile, reportedly turned down an offer from Jolie's beau Brad Pitt to appear for the candidate.

| WYCLEF: PITT-JOLIE "WILL BE ALRIGHT" RAISING SIX KIDS Blog |
Six kids is definitely a handful, but Wyclef Jean says his pals Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can handle it.
"They’ll be alright," he told Usmagazine.com over the weekend at MLB.com's "33 Club party" in NYC. "They are a great couple."
He said he has "a lot of wishes" for the couple, who welcomed Knox and Vivienne Saturday in Nice, France. (Pitt was by Jolie's side at the time of the twins' births and cut the babies' umbilical cords.)
Said Jean, "I plan on calling them personally."
See Angie's first Us Weekly cover!
Angelina's dad Jon Voight was equally thrilled about the babies.
"Twins are a big deal. How many people have seen twins?" he told Us at the the FOX Television Critics Association party on Monday. "Even [if they're] the world's most remarkable, sleep-oriented, calm children... two kids at the same time is a big deal."

Jolie recently said that she and Voight have reconciled after years of estrangement.
"We’re in contact ... and wish each other well," she told the July issue of Vanity Fair. "I think it’s best that, if we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly."
