Success.
Before you go thinking Brangelina is a cliche choice for #1, remember: We're just dealing with the facts and stats. These two command the box office. Jolie reportedly earns around $15 million per picture, and she made three movies last year, so you do the math. As for Pitt, he rakes in around $20 million per film, and he made two in 2008. Combine those numbers with the numerous awards and nominations this couple has under their belts, and the results are staggering: Jolie's won three Golden Globes and an Oscar, while Pitt's won one Golden Globe and had two Academy Award nominations. Basically, these two are cinematic royalty. And as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, Angelina has converted Brad to her do-gooding ways. The couple now heads the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which they donate millions of dollars to annually to aid humanitarian crises.
Attractiveness.
This category's a no brainer: Brangelina is smokin'. Angelina's legendary pout is rivaled only by Brad's perfect facial structure, and both of their bodies are to die for. It doesn't get much sexier than this, so let's be grateful they're procreating.
Popularity.
You can't open an issue of Us Weekly or People without seeing Brad and Angie staring back at you -- and that's been the case for the past four years. Last month, more than 2.25 million Google searches were performed for Jolie, and Pitt scored another 1.5 million. All these two have to do is walk down the street, and every media outlet around reports on it.

It's safe to say that Brad and Angelina have more reasons to stay together than your average celebrity couple. In fact, they have six: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Vivienne and Knox. Still, kids can't ensure a long-lasting relationship, and rumors have been running rampant about a rift between these two. (Hear Angie talk to Matt Lauer about their crazy family below.) Also, their track records are star-studded enough to suggest they're not losing interest with the Hollywood crowd (Angie's exes include Billy Bob Thornton and Johnny Lee Miller; Brad's are Juliette Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow and of course, Jennifer Aniston).

Compatibility.
Too bad: the stars indicate that this union will be short-lived. Angie's a charming, mutable Gemini while Brad's a lively Sagittarius with a wandering eye, so they'll probably call it quits after they've had their fun.
Angelina Jolie Back In Budapest With kids In Tow!
Go figure, my last day in Budapest and I find out that Angelina Jolie and her brood are frolicking about. Do I track them down? Nah, I suppose I’ll leave them be. But I will talk about them!
The actress is once again visiting the Hungarian country with all 6 of her children as apparently her partner’s – you might know him as Brad Pitt – in laws are in town. Despite rumors over the years since the pair have been together that mama Pitt isn’t crazy over globe-trotter Angie, I guess with time the two have mended broken fences…that and having grandchildren – 6 of them – helps.
Angie was spotted on Sunday, October 30th taking her kids ice skating. Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and Zahara were seen tossing on some helmets and hitting the ice. Just another fun Sunday afternoon in Budapest for the Jolie-Pitt family. My question is, where is this said ice rink, and where do you suppose the family will be dining tonight? Stay tuned as I’m on the look out!
Angelina Jolie: Budapest Ice Skating with the Brood!
Still situated in Hungary as she spends time visiting with partner Brad Pitt's parents, Angelina Jolie ventured out for a weekend ice skating session with the brood in Budapest on Sunday (October 30).
The "Salt" actress took Shiloh, Maddox, Pax and Zahara out to a local ice rink as the little ones tossed on helmets and laced up their skates before gliding about on the frozen grounds.
The trip comes in spite of longtime rumors of a strenuous relationship between Miss Jolie and Pitt's mother - who insiders have said preferred her son's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston over his current globe-trotting lady.
Of the current stay in Hungary, a gossip columnist recently wrote, "Evidently the rumors that Angelina Jolie doesn't get along with Brad Pitt's family are false..."
The so-called Brangelina expert added, "Well, either that, or a woman with six kids will take any help she can get..."
Enjoy the pictures of Angelina Jolie and the kids out ice skating in Budapest, Hungary (October 30).
