Angelina Jolie Stress: Bad Things Come in Threes

Angelina Jolie should have a pretty good life.  The sultry actress has a successful relationship with Brad Pitt and Angelina has landed the movie role of a lifetime with 'A Mighty Heart.'   But alas even for the life of a rich and famous Hollywood actress - reality sets in.

Angelina Jolie is under a lot of stress according to Life & Style Weekly and it appears that that bad things do come in threes, at least in this case.

First a Pitt family friend tells the magazine that Angie fainted three times in three days while working in India.  The friend details the three fainting spells:

--October 8 after a stressful rickshaw ride with Brad and Maddox, Angie returned to her hotel room and suddenly collapsed onto the floor!

--On October 9 while just getting out of bed, Angie faints again!

--On October 10 during the filming of an intense scene on the set of A Mighty Heart, she collapses a third time!

So why is she stressed?  Again - three things.  Mom, the pressure of the movie and kidnap fears.

--Her own mom is sick:  Angie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, is battling uterine cancer in LA. Being so far away has added to Angie’s anguish, says a Jolie family friend.

--She’s afraid of kidnappers:   Angie’s in a near panic, says a Pitt family friend, after warnings that Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh could be the targets of terrorists in India.
 
--She’s working too hard: “Angie has been working grueling 12-hour days on the set of A Mighty Heart,” says a Pitt family insider. Motherhood is exhausting. After her long day on the set, says a Jolie family friend, Angie “somehow finds time to play with Maddox, read to Zahara and feed Shiloh.”

So what's the plan for relaxation for Angie? 

The magazine reports that Brad wants to take Angie on a romantic Caribbean vacation (no charity work allowed!) to help her relax and get better.
