NEW YORK -- You've heard about Angelina Jolie's tattoos, her dagger collection, the rumors that she and her brother have an unusually close relationship.
But have you heard about the glass vials she and her husband, actor-director Billy Bob Thornton, wear around their necks, containing each other's dried blood?
"It's us being corny romantic," the actress tells Rolling Stone magazine in its July 5 issue.
"If there was a safe way to drink his blood, I'd love to," says Jolie, who has collected vampire books since she was a little girl.
"We've thought about it. You lay in bed and you just want to bite holes into each other. It's not about cutting yourself or some kind of weird thing -- now it's just, `I want to eat him."'
That may sound a little strange, but the 26-year-old star of "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," which opens Friday, says her marriage last year to the 45-year-old Thornton provided her with stability.
"Because we're both crazy," she says. "But because he's also a really good person, and he makes me feel like I'm a good person."
