Now they are said to be so in love Jason has told friends that they have already talked about living together.
Yesterday Jason insisted he has been told not to talk about the reports, adding: “I’m not going to sell her out.” But he admitted: “There is always at least some truth in all these crazy stories.” He added: “I’m just trying to keep things under wrap right now to protect so many people. So you can ask me if we are seeing one another as much as you like but all I can say is ‘I’m sorry but I can’t comment’.” Teasingly, he added: “It will all come to light very soon, I promise you.”
Jason, 33, actually first met Britney along with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin back in 2003 at New York’s infamous Hit Factory recording studios. He has worked with a number of big rock acts, including Beck, but his main band is Riva. According to the reports.
Britney’s loved-ones are worried about the effect the relationship will have on her at the most difficult time of her life. An insider said: “Britney is very unhappy in rehab. She wants to be with Jason - and it’s all her family and friends can do to talk her into staying. “Her family is also worried that a fling with Jason could ruin their plans for Kevin, Britney and the kids to get back together when she finishes rehab.”

Angelina Speaks on being a UN Ambassador
March 12, 2007 – Angelina Jolie has often been criticized for her efforts as a goodwill ambassador for the UN, calling her travels to troubled corners of the world as celebrity tourism and a show for publicity. Jolie spoke to Newsweek in an interview about her travels, the refugees and the criticism she has faced.
“If someone had a direct criticism of my opinion on the issue, if someone had a direct criticism of the image shown because they think it hurts somebody then I will take that into consideration,” Jolie told.
“But there are a lot of people that simply have an immediate gut reaction and they just don't want to combine artists with foreign policy.”
Jolie has been an ambassador for the UN refugee relief efforts for nearly 6 years and reflecting back she didn’t think to be taken seriously.
“I [was] considered a rebel in Hollywood. At the time I was also a bit of the wild child,” Jolie recalled. “So first I went to Washington [to the UNHCR office] and I sat with everybody there and said, "You know, I know you don't know me. You might have heard things about me… And I don't want to bring negative attention to your agency. If you could just help me, I'll pay my way,”” Jolie said.
“It took me a while to agree to do it,” Jolie said about having cameras following her visits to the refugee camps. “I guess I saw that so many times the picture comes before the knowledge and the substance and I certainly didn't want to do that to myself or the organization.”
