2009-03-13T21:28:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's first born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt has a new imaginary friend, according to reports.

Shiloh - who put Namibia on the map in 2006 when she was born - has reportedly introduced an imaginary ninth member to the family, who goes by the name of Amy.

A source tells celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, "Shiloh says she likes Amy more than Knox and Viv" and at dinner time Shiloh will refuse dinner, claiming that "Amy's not hungry."

Shiloh's new 'friend' could put a spanner in the works for Angelina and new pal Katie Holmes, as the showbiz mums have reportedly arranged a play date for Shiloh with super-tot Suri Cruise.

A source tells OK! magazine, "Katie loves entertaining and spoke to Angelina about having an at-home tea party with cupcakes for the girls."

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Marriage Row

2008-12-22T03:04:00.000-08:00

Brad Pitt is reportedly resisting Angelina Jolie's efforts to drag her man up the aisle.

While the actress is said to be keen to make their union official before adding to their brood of six, Brad apparently turned down her marriage proposal because he wants to attend couples' counselling first.

"Angelina proposed to Brad recently and suggested a Christmas wedding,” a source tells the National Enquirer.

“When Brad insisted they hold off, Angelina put him on a major guilt trip by telling him the kids want them to be married.

"Brad thinks a wedding right now is biting off more than they can chew. He would like to slow down and go through some couples counselling.

"But Angelina is insisting they get married before they adopt again or have another biological baby."

Jennifer Aniston will be beating Brad to it at this rate!

Jolie 'best-paid' movie actress

2008-12-07T20:14:00.000-08:00

Film star Angelina Jolie commands the biggest salary for Hollywood actresses, according to an annual list published by the Hollywood Reporter.

Jolie can expect to make $15m (£10.2m) a film, ahead of Julia Roberts and 2007 list winner Reese Witherspoon.

Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry are no longer able to make $10m (£6.8m), says the industry publication.
But male stars are outstripping their female counterparts, with Will Smith able to make $25m (£17m) for a movie.

Waning salaries
Jolie's partner Brad Pitt is able to make up to $20m (£13.6m) for each star vehicle.

Jolie, 33, currently starring in Clint Eastwood's Changeling, made $15m for Wanted and could increase her pay-out to $20m for a sequel, said the Hollywood Reporter.
The actress finished in second spot in last year's ratings.

Other actresses in the top flight are Cameron Diaz, Katherine Heigl, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway and former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, who made $8 (£5.44m) for comedy Marley and Me, due to open on Christmas Day in the US.
The publication added that salaries of key actresses are on the wane and are still lagging Hollywood's leading men.

It also published its annual list of the most powerful women in US entertainment, in which talk show host Oprah Winfrey came out on top.
The TV star and media mogul was credited for her "immense cultural influence".

Brad Pitt Fears Angelina Jolie Will “Crash and Burn” Due to Stress

2008-12-04T20:09:00.000-08:00

Brad Pitt is allegedly concerned for his partner Angelina Jolie as he fears she is going to “crash and burn” due to the stress of working and caring for their 6 children.

“Brad is scared to death that she’s going to crash and burn. Angelina is usually super-organized but in the past two weeks, she has lost it. She’s stressed, unorganized and more forgetful,” an insider claims.

The couple recently admitted that they are looking to add another child to the family soon.

Angelina Jolie looks wonderful in white as she comes out to support partner Brad Pitt at the NOLA screening of his new locally shot movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in New Orleans on Monday evening.

Angie has buttons on the back of her L’Wren Scott dress. Buttons! Get it? The 33-year-old mother-of-six finished off her look with matching peep-toes and earrings from M S Rau Antiques. Brad looked killer in his Tom Ford suit!

The cast-and-crew screening is a Tinseltown-flavored thank-you to local film-industry workers who played a part in the making of the film, which opens Christmas Day. The film also stars Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.

Is Angelina Jolie pregnant again?

2008-11-27T02:01:00.000-08:00

Barely four months after the birth of her twins it is being rumoured that Hollywood star Angelina Jolie might be pregnant again. A US magazine has claimed that the Beowulf star is three months pregnant
. This will be her seventh child and her fourth biological child with partner Brad Pitt. The magazine claimed Jolie to be really excited about it while Pitt doesn't seem to be happy.

Pitt and Jolie have always expressed desire of expanding their family. It was quite surprising however to see the actress pregnant right after delivering twins. She had recently commented that there is always chaos in the house with so many children but she was enjoying it. Well seems like Jolie has no more interest in Hollywood and would like to remain pregnant for ever.

Angelina Jolie controls Hollywood

2008-11-21T22:02:00.000-08:00

NYT put up a report today alleging Angelina Jolie has gained complete control over the media and is able to spin any story in her favor. The NYT claims that when Angelina sold PEOPLE the rights to exclusive photos of her twins for $14 million there was also a clause that any coverage had to reflect positively on their family. The magazine also had to provide an “editorial plan” as well as never using the “Brangelina” moniker to describe them. Brad and Angelina apparently hate that (Now you know what to call them on the red carpet). Times Inc. which owns PEOPLE sent out a statement denying these allegations but The New York Times plodded on.

Ms. Jolie expertly walks a line between known entity and complete mystery, cultivates relationships with friendly reporters and even sets up her own photo shoots for the paparazzi.
Most skillfully, she dictates terms to celebrity magazines involving their coverage of her and her family, editors say, creating an awkward situation for publications that try to abide by strict journalistic standards.

When Angelina stole Brad away from Jennifer Aniston, she also spun the coverage in her favor.

Shifting the focus is one of Ms. Jolie’s best maneuvers, magazine editors and publicity executives say. When she became romantically involved with Mr. Pitt, for instance, she faced a public relations crisis — being portrayed in the tabloid press as a predator who stole Mr. Pitt from his wife, Jennifer Aniston.
This time, it was Ms. Jolie’s charity work that helped turn the story. Long interested in international humanitarian work, Ms. Jolie appeared in Pakistan, where she visited camps housing Afghan refugees, and even met with President Pervez Musharraf. Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt made a subsequent trip to Kashmir to bring attention to earthquake victims.

In conclusion, don’t cross Angelina Jolie. She will crush you. And it won’t be the good kind of crushing that you pay for where a girl sits on your chest. It’ll be the other kind. The non-erotic kind.

Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie Join Forces: Family Feuds!

2008-11-16T20:08:00.000-08:00

Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are in a bit of a tiff right now as Jen finally spoke up and said that she thought it was all that great that Angelina was "falling in love" with her man on the set of a movie while he was still married to her. That guy was Brad Pitt and he would later wound up divorcing Jennifer and living with Angelina.
Now a report from in Touch gives us some common ground for the two ladies besides knowing what Brad likes to do behind closed doors. Jennifer and Angelina are a part of the top ten of Hollywood’s Nastiest Family Feuds.

For Jen the magazine has this as jen checks in at number three. "Jennifer Aniston vs. Nancy Dow" - "I finally had some compassion,” said Jennifer Aniston about the call she made in 2005 to mom Nancy Dow, burying the hatchet on their nine-year estrangement. Nancy, 72, had gossiped about Jennifer on tabloid TV and later penned an embarrassing tell-all book about their strained relationship. Hurt, Jen, 39, didn’t even invite her mom to her 2000 wedding to Brad Pitt. “I never thought my mom would not know my husband,” Jen said. Recently, the pair patched things up. “She made a mistake,” admits Jen. “I don’t think she knew any better.” “It’s that stubborn thing of, well, I tried enough. Now it’s your turn,” Jen once said about her failed attempts at reconciling sooner.

Jolie gets the number five nod in the Angelina Jolie vs. Jon Voight battle. Jon said that Angelina was mentally unstable. "I don’t hate him. I simply feel we only have so much energy in this life,” says Angelina Jolie about her dad, Jon Voight, whom she’s had a strained relationship with ever since he divorced her mom in 1979. Though they briefly reconciled in 2001, Jon gave a tearful TV interview a year later in which he alluded that Angie, 33, had “serious mental problems,” adding, “I’ve been trying to get her help.”

Making a surprise appearance on the red carpet, Angelina Jolie attended DreamWorks Animation’s “Kung Fu Panda” and “Secrets of the Furious Five” co-DVD release party at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday (November 9).

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Family in Costumes

Halloween seems to be every celebrities favorite holiday and why not when they can dress as the average person and actually participate in the festivities. That is as long as no one recognizes them or follows them from their home. But someone spotted them because Star Magazine had this to say:

Shiloh, meanwhile, dressed as a sheriff. According to the eyewitness, she kept saying to Angie, “I want more candy, mom.” Angelina told her, “You’ll get more, there are more houses.” Shiloh whined, “I don’t want to walk,” so Brad picked her up.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their little brood out with them and each one was dressed up in their own costume. No hand me downs either from my understanding, Maddox was dressed as a marine with a helmet, Zahara was the Jolly Green Giant and Shiloh was a sherrif ordering more candy. Since Pax wasn’t mentioned I’m guessing he was dressed as the invisible kid. What do you think? But it is good to see they had to deal with one that didn’t want to walk as well.

Brad Pitt’s Photos of Angelina Jolie: The Gift that Keeps on Giving

2008-10-25T01:15:00.000-07:00

More intimate photos that Brad Pitt took of his woman Angelina Jolie have hit the web. The photos, which are part of a massive “W” spread that hit newsstands this week, are slightly racier than the ones already leaked, and surely will add new fire to the debate over whether or not Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are being a bit too public about their more private moments. We would respectfully argue: who cares? As long as we got to see more of Angelina, we're not complaining.

There are three photos in particular that are getting a whole lot of attention. The first features a grainy looking Jolie in an almost completely see-through t-shirt. The second shows her looking absolutely stunning, with one nipple peeking out of a low-cut white shirt, and the last is a shot from behind, in which Jolie wears a see-through nightgown, and in which her backside is entirely visible. The photos come days after other photos from Brad’s collection, including one in which Angelina Jolie is seen breastfeeding one of the twins, were released. Many found that photo to be a bit too risqué...so this next batch will likely have folks passing out all over America.

Considering the fact that Angelina Jolie has appeared in various stages of undress in 13 films, the photos are hardly shocking, and for anyone whose been to a Jolie film, they aren’t all that revelatory either. Whether or not we fully understand why Brad and Angelina wanted us to be privy to these photos, is beside the point. We for one will continue to embrace Angelina Jolie as our only Goodwill ambassador who doesn’t mind showing her nipples to the masses.

Angelina Jolie Says She and Brad Pitt Fell in Love While Filming 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'

2008-10-18T01:55:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have always maintained he never cheated on then-wife Jennifer Aniston during the filming of their movie, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," but Jolie admitted to the New York Times they did fall in love on set.

"Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love,” the 33-year-old actress told the newspaper about looking forward to the day her children can watch the flick.

The Hollywood power couple have said there were sparks during the 2005 filming, but have never come out and said it was there where they fell in love.

At the time, Jolie was portrayed in the media as the man-eater who caused Aniston and Pitt to split.

Since then, Aniston has been through a series of high-profile relationships, included one with actor Vince Vaughn.

Most recently the former "Friend" is making headlines of her own with her on-again, off-again romance with singer/songwriter John Mayer. The two split in August, amid rumors she wanted to settle down and have a baby, but the past week they've been spotted together in Boston and New York.

Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman & Johnny Depp Dolls!

2008-10-03T03:32:00.000-07:00

We've seen the scarily-lifelike Angelina Jolie doll, now meet the miniature plastic versions of Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp and Kirsten Dunst.

Philippino artist Noel Cruz wowed the world with his fully-jointed Angie figurine, which fetched a whopping £2,000 on eBay earlier this month.

But the actress isn't the only celebrity to get the Cruz treatment - the stars of Pirates of the Caribbean each have their own plastic likeness, as does Bond star Daniel Craig, and Nicole Kidman, whose doll arguably looks more animated than the botox-happy real deal.

Cruz's figurines start life as a normal doll, which he then strips and repaints to resemble his real-life inspiration.

Jolie Undecided On Presidential Candidate

2008-08-11T23:59:00.000-07:00

While nearly every Hollywood heavyweight is singing Obama's praises, Angelina Jolie says she's still "undecided" about who she'll be supporting.

"I have not decided on a candidate," Jolie said in a statement to Variety. "I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world."

Jolie is already balancing being a mother of 6, an A-list actress, and a humanitarian. She might as well get into politics at this point too. Maybe she can be Obama's running mate. Now that would be entertaining!

Brangelina best dressed couple

2008-07-30T23:20:00.001-07:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been named 2008's Best Dressed Couple.

The pair topped fashion bible Vanity Fair's annual poll for the second year in a row, and beat off stiff competition from David and Victoria Beckham and Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Using the tagline "It's all in the family", the magazine praised Angelina for the way she dressed while pregnant and noted Brad's numerous flawless red-carpet appearances. Michelle Obama, the wife of the American Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, came top of the women's poll, with the magazine jokingly referring to her as "our commander-in-sheath".

Michelle became a fashion icon in June when there was a run on a $148 Donna Ricci dress after she was seen wearing it. Former model and French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Kate Middleton - the girlfriend of Britain's Prince William - Sarah Jessica Parker, Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton and Evelyn Lauder were also featured. Soccer star David did make the men's list along with, 'James Bond' actor Daniel Craig, rapper Kanye West and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Meanwhile, People magazine has secured the rights to publish the first pictures of Angelina and Brad's newborn twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. The publication is rumoured to have paid between $10 and $15 million for the photographs. The couple are planning to donate the money to charity.

'Angelina Jolie spam' spotted

2008-07-18T21:42:00.000-07:00

Cybercriminals are using sensationalist news headlines in order to target computer users, it has been revealed. Research by IT security firm BitDefender has uncovered a new wave of spam messages using fake events relating to movie star Angelina Jolie to lure consumers into downloading Trojan malware. Vlad Valceanu, head of antispam research at the company, said the new attacks are part of a wider range of unsolicited mail messages, which use social engineering techniques to encourage consumers to install malware on their own PCs.

"In order to achieve their goals, spammers usually rely on international celebrities and their pictures, along with catchy, yet fake news leads," he added. Mr Valceanu went on to say the attacks are clearly proving successful as the group has seen an escalation in recent months. Earlier this week, IT security firm Sophos carried out research indicating just one out of every 28 emails is not spam.

Angelina Jolie's tattoo tribute to Winston Churchill

2008-07-09T02:33:00.000-07:00

SIR Winston Churchill has received too many tributes to count. But he has never been honoured quite like this. Angelina Jolie has revealed that two of the tattoos she acquired for her latest film Wanted are a homage to Britain's World War II leader.

The words in gothic script on her upper arms come from a speech Sir Winston made on the day he took office in 1940. In an interview for US television, Jolie said: "We tried to focus the tattoos on themes related to this sense of justice.

"From Churchill's speech, 'We have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat', I had 'toil' and 'tears'." For Jolie, playing a trained killer called Fox in Wanted was a relief from the usual experience of having her extensive body art collection covered up.

"Instead of taking mine away, which we have to do in every film, we ended up leaving mine and adding more," she said. "I have 'strength of will' in one language, and we added it in four other languages on my arm. "'Know Your Rights' is printed in English on the back of my neck, and again in Latin as well." After the birth of her twins, she will have the map co-ordinates of their place of birth tattooed on her arm.

Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie is raving about how supportive her partner Brad Pitt is and says the actor makes her feel "sexy" while being pregnant.

Jolie, who is expecting twins, rubbishes reports of a rift between them and says she firmly believes Pitt is the perfect man to father her children, reported contactmusic.com.

She said in an interview: "I'm very lucky - I'm with a man who makes me feel very sexy pregnant and loves children... He's an extremely hands on dad. Any woman knows that when you're pregnant, if you have a partner who is embracing it (pregnancy) with you, it makes all the difference. I'm very lucky to have him."

There is further speculation that the couple might soon get married since a chapel was spotted on the grounds of the private estate where they have been residing for the past few months in France.

Is Angelina Jolie a method actor, in reverse?

2008-06-04T00:26:00.000-07:00

Is Angelina Jolie a backward Method Actor? In other words, does she take elements from her onscreen characters and bring them into her life? Why, that's crazy! But that's what Vanity Fair writer Rich Cohen sez. And after watching his video interview (A Jolie Good Show) and getting an inside peek at Angelina Jolie's life mirroring her art, I think he may have a point. An idiotic point, but a point nonetheless.

What do you think? Does Angie choose roles that bring out parts of her real self or do her film roles impact and inspire her real life? And what about "Beowulf?" OK, she's a monster, but she's also a loving, protective mother, and she did admit she loved having a tail. Maybe Cohen's onto something.

Jolie distressed over drugs tape

2008-05-28T00:23:00.000-07:00

Melbourne (ANI): Angelina Jolie is said to be upset over footage of her as a youngster in a New York drug den shown recently. The pregnant star is said to be bemoaning the fact that the footage, which is alleged to have been taken eight years ago, was publicised as she"s promoting new kids" film 'Kung Fu Panda' at the Cannes Film Festival. Jolie has previously admitted taking everything from cocaine to ecstasy, LSD and heroin.

The tape has brought back some pretty unpleasant memories for the Hollywood superstar. Until last week, Jolie's partner, Brad Pitt was unaware of the tapes existence. "The timing couldnt be worse, particularly as she's here to talk about a kids film. We have known for a while that this video has been on the market and it seemed like the threat of it being released had gone away," The Daily Telegraph quoted a source as saying.

"But the people who have put it out obviously decided that it would do Angie most damage when she was on show in Cannes. It's not like she can just cancel everything, because she is contractually obliged to do PR for her new movies. It is a part of her life she doesn't want to be associated with. To be perfectly honest, the whole thing has brought back some pretty unpleasant memories," the source added.

Angelina Jolie: I feel so much more for my adopted kids

2008-05-15T04:22:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie admits she has stronger feelings for her adopted kids than her daughter Shiloh. The actress thinks Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, have had more to deal with in their short lives. ‘I think I feel so much more for Maddox and Zahara because they are survivors,’ she explains. ‘Shiloh seems so privileged from the moment she was born, I have less inclination to feel for her. ‘I met my other kids when they were six months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this…blob!’ But Ange, 32, says she’s careful not to treat Shiloh, who turns 2 this month, differently.

‘I have to make sure that I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable,’ she tells OK! Ange adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002. Three years later, she took on Zahara, who she met in an Ethiopian children's home. Pax was abandoned at birth by his mum in Vietnam, so Ange adopted him in March last year. She is thought to be expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt, 44, this summer.

Angelina Jolie’s Chubby Ankles Spark Pregnancy Health Scare

2008-04-30T03:26:00.000-07:00

Voluptuous skeleton Angelina Jolie and boyfriend Bradley Pitt considered making an emergency landing as they flew to Los Angeles from the set of his latest film. That kind of makes it sound like they were flying the plane themselves; they weren’t, but feel free to imagine they were. Hecklerspray imagines that they were flying the plane because the pilot got so shocked, being in the company of their overwhelming sexiness, that he had a heart-attack and, as they were the only two on board, Brad the slightly more male, Brad is forced to take the wheel, looking sexy as he does so, whilst Angelina tries to regain her composure, looking sexy as she does so.

Then, as they realise they literally have no idea how to fly a plane, hurtling toward a mountain peak, they rip each others clothes off and synchronise their climaxes with the horrific explosion. But no; it were just a swollen ankle injury that got ’swollener’ in the sky. A source, with the vocabulary of your average Guy Ritchie character, told Life & Style magazine: “Her legs were swelling and she was getting really wobbly and starting to feel sick. Jolie insisted they continue on to LA, so she could see her own doctor. At first she thought it was just a twisted ankle or something. But everyone was worried because of the pregnancy and previous problems she’s had with leg swelling.”

Angelina has reportedly been swimming in a slightly acidic pool of health worries since her fallopians hosted the annual egg and spoon race. She has since agreed to treatment on the advice of her “medical team”. The source then confirmed, to any doubters out there, that Brad Pitt was genuinely worried about his pregnant wife’s frightening pain: “Angelina didn’t want to take any chances, and everyone agreed. Brad was really worried.” Bet you thought he was laughing at her, didn’t you? Pointing and mocking, prodding her swollen body, then lighting a cigarette and putting it out on her eyes, looking damn sexy throughout. But no, he was just ‘really worried’. Everything seems fine now.

Introducing Angelina Jolie as a 16-year-old swimsuit model

2008-04-23T04:15:00.000-07:00

The bee-stung lips, bedroom eyes and long dark locks were obviously there from the beginning.

But these pictures of Angelina Jolie, taken when she was 16, highlight just what has changed since she became a star.

Though she clearly missed out on puppy fat, the teenage Miss Jolie did have rounded hips and soft fleshy arms.

Today, they have gone the same way as those of any other A-lister - to mostly skin and bone. At the same time, interestingly, her chest size has increased.

Angelina Jolie refers to pregnancy for first time in public

2008-04-15T03:41:00.000-07:00

ANGELINA Jolie has spoken in public about her obvious pregnancy for the first time, months after reports first appeared that the Oscar-winner is expecting twins with Brad Pitt.
The actress and UN goodwill ambassador was in Washington DC for a discussion on Iraq's education policy on Tuesday when she got a playful nudge from her unborn.

Speaking after the talk, she said: "I felt kicking suddenly in the middle of the event." Jolie, who was joined in the US capital by her adopted sons, six-year-old Maddox, and Pax, four, added: "It is a very special time in our lives." Despite the interruption, Jolie continued to talk passionately about her two visits to war-torn Iraq and urged the international community to make education a priority.

The actress told the Council on Foreign Relations: "The best way to heal children of conflict from trauma is to have them focus on their future. "Every child has a right to education and conflict is not a reason to ignore that." Jolie - who also has an adopted daughter, three-year-old Zahara, and a 22-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh, with Pitt - then spoke about her new initiative, Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. She explained the EPCC would be "a centre that helps raise awareness and coordinate all the various efforts of people working towards education for children of conflict".

Study finds Clinton related to Jolie and Obama to Pitt

2008-03-26T03:29:00.000-07:00

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The presidential candidates may have star qualities -- and they also have stars in their families, according to a genealogical study linking Hillary Clinton to Angelina Jolie and Barack Obama to Brad Pitt.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) in Boston on Wednesday released a study in which it traced the family trees of all three presidential candidates to find they all had famous relatives, both dead and alive.

It found Illinois Senator Barack Obama, whose mother is from Kansas, can claim at least six U.S. presidents as distant cousins, including George W. Bush and his father, Gerald R. Ford, Lyndon B. Johnson, Harry S. Truman, and James Madison.

But other cousins include British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill -- and Brad Pitt who is a ninth cousin linked back Edwin Hickman who died in Virginia in 1769. "Obama's maternal ancestry includes the mid-Atlantic States and the South," said Christopher Child, a genealogist with NEHGC that dates back to 1845 and describes itself as the United States oldest and largest non-profit genealogical organization.

Meanwhile his Democratic rival, New York Senator Hillary Clinton, shares a common ancestor with Pitt's partner, actress Angelina Jolie. Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins twice removed linked by Jean Cusson of St. Sulpice, Quebec, who died in 1718.

Child said Clinton is also a cousin of a number of famous people with French Canadian ancestry, including Madonna (ninth cousins linked by Pierre Gagne of Quebec who died in 1656) Celine Dion, and Alanis Morissette, as well as author Jack Kerouac. Another cousin is Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles. "It is common to find people of French Canadian descent to be related to large numbers of other French Canadians, including these notables," said Child in a statement.

'Ideal of the yummy mummy is unattainable'

2008-02-27T23:21:00.000-08:00

The "yummy mummy" is an unattainable ideal that puts too much pressure on modern mothers, a study has revealed.

The report found that celebrity "role models" such as Victoria Beckham were making mothers feel inadequate.

Almost 70 per cent felt pressure to juggle family life with a successful career, while always looking perfectly groomed.

Eighty-one per cent of mothers felt pressure to look sexy for their partner; 37 per cent felt pressure to be a successful career woman.

Forty-two per cent voted Mrs Beckham the most unrealistic role model. She was followed by Angelina Jolie - 11 per cent.

Sixty-seven per cent believed they were seen purely as a mother as opposed to a woman. The findings come from two surveys, carried out by YouGov and Netmums, for Nivea Soft.

Jolie: Internally displaced Iraqis need more help

2008-02-19T03:48:00.000-08:00

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Hollywood star and humanitarian activist Angelina Jolie appealed on Thursday for more international help for the millions of Iraqis displaced internally and abroad, U.N. officials said. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), met officials from the United Nations, the U.S. embassy and the U.S. military in central Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone.

"She's here in her official capacity to talk to government officials, the military and the United Nations about Iraq's refugees and displaced persons," Staffan de Mistura, the U.N. envoy to Baghdad, told Reuters. Jolie also visited Iraq last August, when she went to a makeshift camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) and met Iraqi refugees in Damascus, capital of neighboring Syria.

She said she wanted more information about IDPs and to discuss the problem with the Iraqi government, U.S. officials and aid workers, as well as to meet local Iraqis. "There are over 2 million internally displaced people and there doesn't seem to be a real coherent plan to help them," Jolie told CNN. "There's lots of goodwill and lots of discussion but there seems to be just a lot of talk at the moment and a lot of pieces need to be put together," she said.

Some 2.2 million Iraqis have fled sectarian fighting which killed tens of thousands after the bombing of a revered Shi'ite shrine in February 2006 and pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war. The Iraqi Red Crescent estimates that between 1.5 million and 2 million Iraqis fled to Syria, most of the others going to Jordan. Roughly the same number are displaced within Iraq.

"I was very impressed by the fact that she was extremely well informed and well documented about the plight of refugees in Iraq and outside Iraq," de Mistura said after meeting Jolie for about 30 minutes. "She asked how can all of us make sure that refugees are better treated," he said. An Iraqi Red Crescent (IRC) report on Thursday said that the number of IDPs returning to their homes had slowed significantly because people were still worried about security. A UNHCR report this week said the flow of refugees from Syria back to Iraq had also slowed, and that more Iraqis were leaving than returning.

The IRC says 46,000 refugees returned from Syria between September 15 and December 27, 2007, far fewer than government figures indicate. Iraqi officials, eager to play up signs of improving security, said last November that up to 1,600 were returning to Iraq daily, but now they say the situation is not clear and a more accurate survey is being planned. The UNHCR report said most of those returning were doing so not because of improved security but because they could no longer afford to live in Syria.

Angelina Jolie – Staring at Strangers “Was the Hardest Thing to Lose”

2008-02-13T00:42:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie may be one of the most recognized actresses in the world but that doesn't mean she likes being famous. The 32-year-old star recently admitted that her favorite pastime used to be staring at strangers on the subway. Angie seems very torn up about the fact that she can't watch people go about their everyday lives, claiming "it was the hardest thing to lose." "My favorite thing used to be to just sit on the subway and watch people; just walking by myself everywhere and living among people and watching them," says the Tomb Raider star.

"I lost that," she adds. "It was the hardest thing to lose, and I think that does affect you." Jolie, who recently flew to Iraq to meet with the Iraqi Prime Minister and Iraqi officials concerning the two million people who are in dire need of help, has been under extreme amounts of scrutiny lately as the media tries to find out whether she's pregnant. Her humanitarian efforts, combined with the fact that she's practically married to Hollywood's hottest actor, Brad Pitt, makes it seemingly impossible for Jolie to stay out of the public eye.

But she wants the attention; otherwise she wouldn't continue to attend red carpet events, star in high profile movies or do interviews with CNN to raise awareness. Being a public figure has worked in her advantage on many occasions - she should appreciate what she's been given.

Depp & Jolie are the dishes of the day this Valentine’s

2008-02-06T03:31:00.001-08:00

Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie have topped a poll by kitchen manufacturer and retailer Sigma 3 of celebrities Britons would most like to cook for on Valentine’s Day.

But it’s a different story when being cooked for, as Britons would prefer TV chefs Gordon Ramsey and Nigella Lawson to don their aprons and cook up a storm for them on February 14th.

Sweeney Todd star Depp compounded David Beckham’s miserable month after his axe from the England squad by polling 28% of the vote, just 1% more than the L.A. Galaxy footballer. Sean Connery was top of the menu when women over 40 were asked who they would most like to cook for, polling 31% of the vote. Almost a third of men decided Angelina Jolie would look great sat at their dining table, beating Oscar winner Helen Mirren into second place (26%).

When it came to being cooked for, Britons let their taste-buds rule over Hollywood glamour with half of women choosing Gordon Ramsey as the ideal Valentine’s chef and three quarters of men deciding Nigella Lawson would look great in an apron on the special day.

However, the likely reality facing couples across the country this Valentine’s Day was not on many people’s wish-lists; just 7% of women said they would most like to cook for their partners alongside just 3% of men.

Paula Morris, Marketing Manager, Sigma 3 commented, “It’s no surprise that Britons picked two dishes in Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie as the two people they would most like to cook for this Valentine’s Day. Their taste-buds definitely ruled when choosing the person they would most like to cook for them, but in Nigella Lawson I think the boys might have the best of both worlds!”

No Oscar nominations for Angelina Jolie or 'The Simpsons'

2008-01-23T02:27:00.000-08:00

ANGELINA, INTERRUPTED: Angelina Jolie seemed like a lock in the best-actress category for "A Mighty Heart," in which she gave a wrenching performance as Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl. The role has earned her Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Spirit Award nominations, and it's probably the best work of her career. But she isn't among the nominees for best actress at the Academy Awards, and the film itself was shut out entirely. Jolie already has a supporting-actress Oscar for 1999's "Girl, Interrupted."

NOT TAKING THE OSCAR BAIT: A couple of films that would have seemed like traditional academy favorites were barely recognized. "American Gangster" only received two nominations, for supporting actress Ruby Dee and for its art direction—nothing for Oscar perennials Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe or director Ridley Scott. And "The Kite Runner," based on the inspiring international best-seller, got just one, for original score.

DOUBLING UP. And sometimes tripling and quadrupling:

Cate Blanchett received two nominations for best actress in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and for supporting actress in "I'm Not There." The great Roger Deakins is competing against himself in the cinematography category for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and "No Country for Old Men."

The veteran music team behind "Enchanted" and many other Disney movies—Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz—received three out of the five original-song nominations. Paul Thomas Anderson also got three for "There Will Be Blood," for best director, adapted screenplay and best picture (he's one of the producers). And technically, the Coen brothers received four nominations—for best picture since they're producers on "No Country for Old Men," for director and adapted screenplay, and for editing under their longtime pseudonym, Roderick Jaynes.

LADIES FIRST: A record four screenplays were nominated in which women can claim sole writing credit: "Juno" by Diablo Cody, "The Savages" by Tamara Jenkins and "Lars and the Real Girl" by Nancy Oliver in the original category, and "Away From Her" by Sarah Polley in the adapted category. It's also the first Oscar nomination for all four.

JOLIE'S 'MIGHTY' ACT OF FRIENDSHIP

2008-01-09T01:06:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie was friends with Mariane Pearl before portraying her. The actress took the role for Pearl's young son. NOBODY crosses a room like Angelina Jolie. She cut a purposeful stride across the polished floor of a Hollywood Roosevelt suite, a feat especially impressive because she was doing it in 4-inch heels and a pencil skirt. It was noon on a warm November day, weeks before Jolie's restrained and moving portrayal of real-life journalist Mariane Pearl in "A Mighty Heart" would land her nominations for Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards. The role reminded audiences of the Oscar-winning actress' formidable talent, telling the wrenching story of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl's 2002 kidnapping -- and the race to find him before his killing in Pakistan by Islamic extremists -- from the perspective of his pregnant wife.

Jolie had recently returned from the London premiere of her much-hyped nearly nude role in the computer-generated adaptation of "Beowulf," and had just wrapped two high-profile films: "Wanted," a graphic novel adaptation opening in June in which she plays an assassin, and "Changeling," a Clint Eastwood-directed, Brian Grazer-produced period crime drama. But her most pressing concern at the moment was timing her day's work to end just as her children needed to be picked up from school. Jolie, 32, acknowledged that no matter who you are, wrangling life with four kids (in her case, Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 1) is no walk in the park. She said she couldn't do it alone.

"I have a great partner in it," she said of Brad Pitt. "I think you need at least to look at that other person and share the lack of sleep and insanity. And then it becomes fun." On this afternoon, Jolie seemed to have eluded the ever-swarming paparazzi. It was quiet in and around her room except for the chatter of a few vacationers at the pool below. She perched her very thin frame on a sleek white leather sofa with the careful demeanor of a guest. The conversation turned intimate as Jolie began charting the emotional, sometimes awkward, process of portraying her close friend Mariane Pearl, during the most heartbreaking moments of the journalist's life. It was the toughest role of her career, Jolie said. Pearl's son Adam and Jolie's Maddox were playmates long before a film was in the works. So when Pearl chose her for the role, Jolie was both honored and terrified.

"It was the one film I've done where I'd lost sleep and didn't think I could do it," she said. The film, based on Pearl's 2003 memoir, "A Mighty Heart: The Inside Story of the Al Qaeda Kidnapping of Danny Pearl," was directed by Michael Winterbottom. Focusing largely on the frantic search for Pearl (Dan Futterman), the film was shot mostly in India, documentary-style, with no rehearsals, very long takes and, for the most part, in chronological order. The shoot coincided with an especially difficult time for Jolie. The actress had just given birth to her first biological child and then, shortly after, lost her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to a 7-year battle with ovarian cancer. But Jolie was clear that her own loss was mild compared with Pearl's story. "My thought was, 'My God, [Mariane] went through such unbelievable horror,' " Jolie said, the intensity of her gaze almost too intimate. " 'I can certainly get myself in gear and pretend on a movie set."

Angelina Jolie Shows Baby Shiloh Some Love

2008-01-02T02:59:00.000-08:00

Poor little baby Shiloh. She has been the butt of jokes ever since her mother Angelina Jolie called her a "blob" and was quoted again later as dubbing her the "outcast" of the family because she is such an adorable little infant and looks like her daddy Brad Pitt with her blonde hair and blue eyes. Now the little baby may finally be getting some love from mom, who was recently snapped by the paparazzi holding her and allowing the little to snack on some potato chips.

Us Weekly Magazine reports that as Shiloh has grown from the blob into a "beautiful, genetically blessed 19-month-old with lips from Mom, eyes from dad Brad Pitt' and speculates that she is set to be the next Hollywood "Golden child." And finally got some compliments from her mom.

"Shi’s so full of light and love. She’s just a little honey and very, very funny,” Jolie, 32, said earlier. And despite keeping a lower profile than her other siblings, Shiloh was just named Hollywood’s most influential infant by Forbes. But watch out, Brad and Angie: It’s not just your looks and clout you’ve passed on. “I’m recognizing some of myself in that one,” Jolie admitted earlier this year. “She’s going to be a little bit of trouble.” Anyone else think perhaps Jolie is already a bit jealous?

Jolie good show!

From the courtroom to the streets of the city, it was lights-camera-action in Chicago in 2007. Angelina Jolie proved she's still the most "Wanted" star in the world, Shia LaBeouf became perhaps the first movie star ever to get into late-night trouble at a Walgreens, we found out the truth behind those "Casino" murders, and we quickly learned that "Rory's First Kiss" involved neither a Rory nor a kiss -- but it did include one scary-looking Joker. And we saw perhaps the least convincing portrayal of a Chicago cop in motion picture history. Let's take a look back at the year in film -- from movie-related news in the Chicago area to the best of what we saw on the big screen in 2007.

"Attention, customers, there's no line at the cosmetics counter -- hey, isn't that the guy from 'Transformers'?" After giving countless interviews in which he vowed not to follow the path of Lindsay and Britney et al., an apparently extra-"cheerful" Shia LaBeouf was arrested at the Walgreens on Michigan and Chicago at 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. LaBeouf was in town filming "Eagle Eye" with Billy Bob Thornton, whose ex-wife was filming a movie of her own in Chicago earlier in the year. (More on that in a moment.) Just think, if LaBeouf had returned to that Michigan Avenue Walgreens a week later, he could have purchased magazines with stories about his adventure at that same store. Or something like that.

Angelina Jolie a great role model

2007-12-19T02:16:00.000-08:00

Celebrities like Angelina Jolie, David Beckham and Kylie are more influential role models than famous historical figures, a new study has shown. Research carried out at the University of Leicester's department of media and communication found that the legacies of the likes of Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare and Isaac Newton are less significant to today's youngsters than the Tomb Raider star, the England footballer or the Australian pop singer.

Dr Charlotte de Backer - whose research is published in the journal Human Nature - found that the high publicity afforded to households like the Jolie-Pitts or the Beckhams makes them 'teachers' for the young. She said: "Life is about learning, gaining experience and in that process we have a tendency to observe and mimic the actions of others. Ideally we mimic what makes others successful and avoid unsuccessful actions others have trialled (and paid for).

"In reality, humans seem to have the tendency to mimic the overall behaviour pattern of higher status or more successful others. "This explains why celebrities act as role models for broad ranges of behaviour they display - good or bad." Her study of 800 respondents also found that older people are interested in celebrities for purely social reasons rather than because of any specific interest in Lindsay Lohan's latest spell in rehab or Britney Spears' latest run-in with the paparazzi.

"We did find in the interviews that older people do not gossip about celebrities as much because they want to learn from them or feel befriended with them, but they use celebrity gossip to bond with real-life friends and acquaintances," Dr De Backer added. "Living in scattered societies we often don't know who to talk about with the many people we know and celebrities can act as our mutual friends and acquaintances."

Angelina Jolie lined up for intelligence thriller: report

2007-12-17T01:53:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie is being lined up to star in a film inspired by the exploits of an investigator probing the murky worlds of arms trafficking and terrorism, entertainment industry reports said Wednesday. Jolie, recently seen in "A Mighty Heart" and "Beowulf," will play a character based on real-life spy Kathi Lynn Austin, who has undertaken field missions in Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia and Central America.

Variety reported Paramount Studios had acquired the rights to Austin's story and were hoping the Jolie film could inspire a series of movies similar to the successful "Bourne Identity" franchise. Jolie is currently filming Clint Eastwood drama "The Changeling," about a woman whose son goes missing in 1920s Los Angeles. The 32-year-old is reportedly Hollywood's highest earning actress along with Reese Witherspoon, commanding around 15-20 million dollars per picture.

They were drawing and doodling, trying to out do each other,” the insider added.Meanwhile, Jolie has admitted that she feels as if her biological daughter Shiloh is and “outcast.” The actress also reportedly said she feels “more” for her three adopted children than for Shiloh as they are more “vulnerable.”

Jolie adopted a rape victim’s baby

2007-12-12T03:00:00.000-08:00

The Ethiopian baby adopted by Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie was conceived when her mother was raped, the woman revealed this week. Mentwabe Dawit, mother of 2-year-old Zahara, tearfully described how she had been attacked and raped at knifepoint in 2004 after walking home from work in the southern Ethiopian town of Awasa. “

He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared,” the Daily Mail quoted Mentwabe as saying. The 24-year-old said that she kept her pregnancy and rape a secret, until she could no longer hide it. “

I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly,” she said. As her belly swelled, Mentwabe could no longer hide her pregnancy and confided in her mother. “ It was not as I feared. I found my mother understanding and consoling. She urged me not to do anything rash, which might endanger my life.”

Jolie had no idea about daughter Zahara`s birth mum

2007-12-10T02:52:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie’s brother James Haven insists that the star was not aware that her Ethiopian daughter Zahara’s birth mother was alive. Haven insisted that Jolie had no idea that Zahara’s biological mother Mentewab Dawit Lebiso was alive because the paperwork had stated that the little girl was an AIDS orphan. He also maintained to Britain’s Grazia magazine that Jolie would not have adopted the little girl if she had known about Lebiso.

"Angelina has a rule that she adopts children only when they are orphans. I think adoption becomes complicated whenever the biological parents are alive," Contactmusic quoted him, as telling the mag. For her part, Lebiso has dismissed reports that she wants the little girl back, stating that she’s happy that her child is being raised by Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt.

"I have never disputed the adoption... I have no ill feelings towards her (Jolie). I think my daughter is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world-famous lady. I wish them all the success they both deserve," she said.

Angelina Jolie Returns To Spying

What the heck has happened to Angelina Jolie? In the space of just a couple of years she’s gone from great actress and hottest woman on the planet to that emaciated scarecrow who keeps holding Brad Pitt back. She’s started to look like one of the starving kids she’s always championing. Just becase you’re in Ethiopia Angie doesn’t mean you have to eat like an Ethiopian. Grab a pizza or something, will ya?

It doesn’t help that her choices in movie roles have ranged from preachy and uninteresting to splashy and repetitive. Doesn’t look like that’s going to change either. Now she’s doing yet another spy movie. Variety says she’s set to star in an action thriller based on real life intelligence operative Kathi Lynn Austin for Paramount.

Austin has traveled the glob as an intelligence operative, most recently working under contract to the UN Security Council in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Central America. The film will have Angelina as Austin facing off against a fictional arms dealer also inspired by a real life figure, a Russian weapons trafficker named Victor Bout. It’s being described as similar in spirit to The Bourne Identity, which is putting the bar pretty high for Angelina’s movie.

Jolie de vivre

2007-12-03T02:59:00.000-08:00

Here's what happens in the movie Beowulf: After an attack by the monster Grendel (Crispin Hellion Glover) on King Hrothgar's (Anthony Hopkins) kingdom, the warrior Beowulf (Ray Winstone) and his band of muscle-men come to his aid. As if that's not dangerous enough, family gets involved. Grendel's fierce, sexy mother (Angelina Jolie) seduces Beowulf so she'll have a replacement heir that will allow her to re-establish her dominion over the kingdom. We don't want to give anything away - suffice it to say that at the end of the movie, justice is served. Kind of.

After all, the screenplay is written by Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) and Roger Avary (Killing Zoë) - two guys for whom the word "conventional" has no place in their vocabulary. Still, it's no mean feat converting an epic, 3,183-line, Old English-but-set-in-Scandinavia poem into two hours of action-packed animation, so of course there are dramatic liberties being taken - which purists will no doubt enjoy bemoaning.

For example, in the poem, Beowulf gets ample help from his men, but in the movie, it's all Beowulf. And here's the kicker: Jolie as Grendel's mum is far different from the "hag" described in the poem (And if Jolie is a hag, I'm Brad Pitt). And what about all that fake nudity? I guess when he "fought with his bare hands", he didn't want to over-accessorise.

But let's get back to the what's important in a movie like this: Action and gore, of which there is enough here to warrant an NC-16 rating. Easy on the eye and not taxing on the brain, Beowulf is the kind of movie you can enjoy over and over again. Okay, so we just want to drool over Jolie's naked body - who cares if it's fake?

Jolie-Pitt's Baby Adoption Ruled Legal

2007-11-30T03:16:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's adoption of a baby from Ethiopia has been ruled legal by the agency that first approved it in 2005. The ruling has quashed speculation that the woman who gave up 2-year-old Zahara wanted the child back. But Dr. Tsegaye Berthe, head of the Wide Horizons for Children Agency, slammed the rumors as "media hype by unethical journalists."

At the time of the adoption the girl's grandmother sent a letter to a court in the country's capital Addis Ababa stating that Zahara's mother was dead. Dr. Berhe confirmed this and insisted that Jolie and Pitt were deemed to be worthy parents, saying, "The court approved the adoption after studying the document her grandmother wrote. "The grandmother brought three witnesses to court who testified that Zahara's mother had died and that her father was unknown.

"The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption. "Jolie adopted her first child, Maddox, 6, from Cambodia in 2002, who was followed by Zahara, 2, from Ethiopia, and Pax, 3, from Vietnam. Pitt later applied to become their adoptive father. The couple also have their own biological daughter 17-month-old Shilo

Angelina Jolie Nominated for Indie Spirit Award

2007-11-28T02:48:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie is already attracting movie awards attention. Jolie was nominated Tuesday for a Spirit Award for her role in A Mighty Heart, which was co-produced by Brad Pitt and based on the life of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl. "She could make any film she wants," Dawn Hudson of Film Independent, which gives the awards, said after the announcement. "It's a feat for such a movie star to be so much in that role."

Jolie, who plays Pearl's wife, has never been nominated for a Spirit Award, though she won an Oscar and Golden Globe in 2000 for Girl, Interrupted. Her competition includes Sienna Miller (Interview), Ellen Page (Juno), Parker Posey (Broken English), and Tang Wei (Lust, Caution). Other nominees included Cate Blanchett (I'm Not There), Don Cheadle (Talk to Me) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Savages).

Zach Braff and Lisa Kudrow, both past nominees of Spirit Awards (Braff won for 2004's Garden State), announced this year's nominees. "I was a giant fan of The Comeback, her show on HBO, I just loved it so much," Braff told PEOPLE of Kudrow. "Every free moment I've gotten with her today, I've been telling her how much I love The Comeback." The Spirit Awards, held the day before the Oscars, will air live on IFC on Feb. 23.

Angelina Jolie Goes Fur Shopping With Maddox

2007-11-24T04:04:00.000-08:00

Coming off of a dominating weekend at the box office, Angelina Jolie celebrated by taking son Maddox shopping at the Edwards-Lowell Fur Boutique in Beverly Hills on Sunday afternoon. The Girl Interrupted actress and her animated feature Beowulf roughed up the competition this past weekend, pulling in $28.1 million in the U.S. and Canada.

Meanwhile, Angelina is dealing with issues on the homefront, as adopted daughter Zahara’s mom has recently stepped forward and spoken to press. Mentewab Dawit, who deserted Zahara when she was just five months old because she had no food to feed her, denied claims that she wanted Zahara back, going on to praise Angelina for giving her a home.

Dawit told: “I have never disputed the adoption. It was something I never said. I decided to flee rather than watch her die. “I think my daughter is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world famous lady. I wish them all the success they both deserve. I have no ill-feelings towards her.”

ANGELINA JOLIE PUTS SEX APPEAL INTO 'BEOWULF

2007-11-22T03:24:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie, seems to get more face time on the covers of magazine than any other beautiful actress of our times. Unfortunately, this is mainly because of her relationship with Brad Pitt, and that is only because the two were having an affair while Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. All of that tabloid crap aside, Jolie is one of Hollywood’s most talented actresses and has the awards and statue gold to prove it.

In her latest role, however, the actress didn’t have to work to hard to achieve an amazing performance. In BEOWULF, Jolie plays a water demon that is the mother to the monster Grendel, and functions as one part horror and one part sultry temptress. Jolie looked forward to playing the duality of the character and practically jumped at the chance to work with director Robert Zemeckis.

“I was excited I got a call that I was going to be working with Bob Zemeckis,” Jolie explains. “I was pretty much saying yes to anything. Then I was told I was going to be a lizard. Then I was brought into a room with Bob, with a bunch of pictures and examples. He showed me this picture of a woman half painted gold, and then a lizard. I have kids and I thought 'That's great, it's so bizarre, and I'm going to be this crazy reptilian person or creature.' I was very excited. I met with Crispin [Glover] and we had a great time, and just amazing scenes. Then I saw the poster and saw a few other things. [Laughs] I realized 'Oh, I'm not just a lizard.' But I'm very excited about it. It was just great. She's one of those fun characters. She's evil, she's temptation, and she's very fun to play. Again, we had a great time and I got to work with great actors.”

The Economist has published Angelina Jolie’s article for their annual spin-off issue, The World in 2008. CLICK HERE to read the full article. In other news, Angelina Jolie’s adoption of daughter Zahara in July 2005 was completely legal, the agency involved said on Thursday. Tabloids reported earlier this week that relatives of two-year-old Zahara, including a woman who says she is her birth mother, want the child returned to Ethiopia.

“The court in Addis Ababa approved the adoption after studying the document her grandmother wrote … saying her daughter, the mother of Zahara, had died and she was too poor to bring her up,” Tsegaye Berhe, the head of Wide Horizons for Children adoption agency told Reuters.

“The grandmother brought three witnesses to court who testified that Zahara’s mother had died and that her father was unknown … The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption. [The adoption was] legal and irrevocable. The controversy is media hype by unethical journalists exploiting the poverty of the grandmother.”
