Angelina Jolie Does German ‘Cosmopolitan’ Magazine

An oldie but a goodie?
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Angelina Jolie is featured on the cover of the new issue of German Cosmopolitan magazine lookin’ fierce as ever … in a photo that looks to be a few years old but, since I can’t be entirely sure, could be a new, recently shot photo — behold:


Since my German is really, really bad (my apologies, Professor Vansant) I’m not sure what the headlines on this magazine read. I see that Ange is referred to as an über-star but beyond that, it’s all Greek to me … er, German … you know what I mean ;) In any event, no matter what the headline and no matter when the photo was taken, it’s still a sexy mag cover. Sure, it’s not necessarily the hottest magazine cover that one can find on newsstands these days but, it’s still pretty a’ight. Do we like?

‘The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button’ Premieres

The old man and the see
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Brangelina were the belles of the ball at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood, CA last night for the Hollywood premiere of Brad Pitt’s new film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The red carpet was a who’s who of celebs all vying for the chance to be seen at the premiere spectacle last night … here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals and some info on who came out for the big shindig:


Brad Pitt was surrounded by beautiful women at the LA premiere of David Fincher’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” at the Mann Village Theatre in Westwood. Pitt and Angelina Jolie resembled classic old time movie stars. Looking a far cry from their busy mommy/daddy roles, Angie was elegant in a strapless black Versace gown, Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection drop earrings, her hair slicked back. Pitt wore a Tom Ford three-piece tuxedo suit and a moustache. But he also posed for photos with his onscreen love interest, Cate Blanchett, reportedly clad in a short, sparkly Alexander McQueen frock that looked suspiciously like a Nicolas Ghesquiere Balenciaga design, but what do I know. Brad’s parents Bill and Jane Pitt, were also on hand for their son’s big Oscar shot film. So were Jennifer Lopez, Gary Oldman, Eva Longoria-Parker, Sharon Stone and Oscar winning actress Tilda Swinton, wearing a Rodarte gown, who also plays one of Pitt’s lovers early in the film. In this incredibly moving and sweeping romance based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pitt plays a boy who is born old but gets younger. He falls in love with Cate’s character whom he meets when he is very old man and she is very young girl, but they eventually hook up in the middle. It’s an astonishing film (getting major Oscar buzz) that gets you thinking about love, time, aging, youth, impermanence, relationships, faith, communication and all the people who’ve had an impact - big or small - in your life. Most amazing is the makeup and digital aging/youthing FX. Watching Blanchett and Pitt age in different directions is an astonishing feat that doesn’t distract from the magical love story. Blanchett didn’t make it to the flashy post party. But for a darn good reason. She hopped a red eye flight back home to Sydney so she could host the Wednesday “Button” Australian premiere, a big fundraiser for her pet passion, the Sydney Theatre Company.

Brad and Ange looked pretty amazing last night … the old skool Hollywood glam-look really works for them. It’s always a pleasure to see Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton on a red carpet … and Jennifer Lopez was lookin’ like her usual luscious Diva Latina self. Oh and I doubt that the Marley & Me premiere will be as lavish an affair as this premiere was. To be completely honest … I’m not sure I’m all that interested in seeing this film. Having seen the very extensive movie trailer pretty much gives the whole story away. BUT, there are two reasons why I will prolly make my way out to theaters to check it out — the movie is based on a story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and was directed by David Fincher (you may recall that Pitt and Fincher worked together on the stunning film Se7en). Since this is one Fitzgerald story I haven’t read yet, I’m intrigued to see what it may look like on the big screen. Add to that the fact that Fincher is one of my fave movie directors and, well, it looks like Mr. Button will be getting my $15 at the box office (unless I see it at home in Detroit, MI where my out of pocket expenses will be lowered to approx. $10).

Brangelina Surface In New Orleans For The Holidays

Bump watch?
Monday, December 1st, 2008

The Brangelina brood has surfaced in New Orleans, LA this weekend as matriarch Angelina Jolie (who may or may not be hiding a baby bump underneath that kinda tight dress) and her eldest child Maddox Chivan popped up in town doing a bit of shopping at the Little Toy Shop (which specializes in old skool toys):


Additionally, in other parts of town, Brad Pitt and his porn’stache were spotted zooming around on his motorcycle:


It would stand to reason that the rest of the family is in town as well. This is the first time that Angelina has been seen out in public since In Touch Weekly reported last week that she is pregnant again. It appears that she chose to wear this tight-fitting dress to prove that she is not harboring a new baby in her womb (tho, if it was early enough … she could be hiding a burgeoning baby bump under this dress in order to throw us off the track). In any event, it appears that the family has set up shop to celebrate at least part of the holidays at their home in New Orleans. Pregs or not, I’m sure that various members of family (individually or en masse) will be showing up around town in the coming days, weeks. Welcome home, y’all!!

Angelina Jolie Pregnant Again?

'In Touch Weekly' reports
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Could the Brangelina brood be about to expand again? According to In Touch Weekly magazine, yes! The mag is reporting as its coverstory this week that Ange is 3 months pregs with her 7th child. And while I don’t usually believe these sorts of reports right off the bat like this, I am reminded that In Touch was the mag that broke the news that she was pregs with her twins AND they were the mag that broke the news when she gave birth to those twins back on July 12th … could they be right again?


A U.S. magazine claims Angelina Jolie is three months pregnant with her seventh child. In Touch Weekly - which broke the news of Jolie’s second pregnancy with twins - is adamant that the actress is expecting another child in the new year. In an “exclusive” report the publication, which hits news stands tomorrow, states: “An excited Angie can’t stop talking about the new baby. So why doesn’t Brad seem thrilled?” Jolie and partner Brad Pitt’s spokesman has denied the reports, leading other U.S. outlets to rubbish the claims. However In Touch has consistently repeated the reports in recent weeks. Jolie and Pitt are already parents to three adopted children and three biological children, with twins Vivienne and Knox just four months old. In recent weeks Jolie has given countless interviews about her desire to expand their family even further. At the launch of the DVD for Kung Fu Panda last week she told reporters: “Anything could happen. We’re open to anything, we love kids and we’re having a great time. It’s chaos in our house, but it’s so much fun. We’ll definitely have more.” And she added that she couldn’t be happier with Pitt. “He’s the best daddy and we have fun, so whenever it gets hard we can just look at each other and find a way to laugh about and just appreciate that they’re only little once, and we should enjoy every minute.”

If this turns out to be true, I think it’s safe to assume that In Touch Weekly has a pretty reliable source possibly living inside Angelina Jolie’s uterus … yeah, that or they have a great mole inside the Brangelina inner circle. Again, it remains to be seen if this report is true or not … but, even if it is not, In Touch has a pretty good track record when it comes to this sort of intimate reporting of Angelina’s biological functions. What do y’all think … could Ange really be pregs again?

Bragelina Promote ‘Changeling’ In London

Don't cry for me, Angelina
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Angelina Jolie and her babydaddy Brad Pitt have made their way to London, England to do some promo work for her latest movie Changeling. Here are pics of Brangelina (you will note that Brad is still rockin’ the trash’stache) out and about in London in between a Changeling press conference and the film’s UK premiere:


The premiere was your usual fare but at the aforementioned press conference, Angelina got a bit weepy when she started talking about her late mother:

At a Changeling press conference Monday in London, Angelina Jolie got teary eyed talking about her late mother Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer in 2007. After being asked what it meant to film a movie about a strong mother so soon after Bertrand’s death, Jolie cursed and her eyes filled with tears. “She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn’t swear to save her life,” she said. “But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her, her story. She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength through just knowing what was right,” she continued. Jolie - who also confirmed Monday that she will replace Tom Cruise in Edwin A. Salt - also opened up her recent comments that she wants to “fade away” from acting. “I’m not making some retirement announcement,” she said. “I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time. I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot,” she said. “Maybe eventually I’ll stop [acting].” After a reporter asked, “Can we expect more children soon?” Jolie replied, “Sure, you can!” She added that she spent the past year “with the kids. Most of it has been spent in my pajamas coloring.”

Aww … that’s cute :) After the jump, check out a 2-minute video of an emotional Angelina talking about her mom at this Changeling press conference … (more…)

More ‘Bazaar’ness From Angelina Jolie

The Glamour Issue
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

On Monday we learned that Angelina Jolie is featured on the cover and in the pages of the December issue of British Harper’s Bazaar magazine but were only privy to the stunning coverphoto. Today we get to check out the accompanying photospread … behold:


Ange just looks hot, the end. Again, I’m not sure when these photos were take (either pre-twins or post-twins) but I wouldn’t be surprised if these photos were shot recently. Angelina Jolie is one of those beautiful people who can help but look semi perfect all the time. True these photos were prolly retouched to eliminate any imperfections but you can’t deny that the lady is a stunner. Love these pics.
