Angelina Jolie Says Her Vegan Diet Nearly Killed Her

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:36:50 +0000

Gorgeous Angelina Jolie has blamed her vegan diet for “nearly killing” her. She has also said that she loves to eat red meat.

The Salt star says that when she restricted her diet to not include any animal products, it had negative effects on her health.

“I joke that a big juicy steak is my beauty secret. But seriously, I love red meat. I was a vegan for a long time, and it nearly killed me. I found I was not getting enough nutrition,” said Jolie.

The 35-year-old beauty also said she enjoys seeing her hands “grow older” as it is a sign of how much she has matured as a mother to her six children with partner Brad Pitt.

“Happiness is when I look down at my hands and they are washing a baby. I can sort of see my hands grow older and I love it,” she said.

Will Angelina Jolie and Robert Pattinson Work Together?

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 13:59:33 +0000

Angelina Jolie, as you know by now, will soon have her debut as a director, for the film, “Unforgiven.” Rumors are that the movie will star one of the hottest heartthrobs of the past couple of years, Robert Pattinson. Of course, we all have to keep in mind just how reliable rumors are – just this past month we’ve seen Angelina’s name connected to every role from Cleopatra to Marilyn Monroe.

I’m kind of skeptical about anything I read anymore!

Robert Pattinson’s involvement has not, at all, been confirmed. However Deadline Hollywood reports that word has it he’s been tapped for the role of a vengeful son.

The plot of “Unforgiven” focuses on the story of a woman who spends 15 years in prison after being accused of murdering 2 policemen. She gets out determined to start afresh and leave everything behind.

However, she finds out that the past can – and often does – come back to haunt you, as the sons of one of her victims come back for revenge. One of them will reportedly be played by Robert Pattinson.

“Yesterday Deadline Hollywood came out with a report that GK Films is developing a project for Angelina Jolie, based on a 2009 BBC miniseries called Unforgiven,” Lainey Gossip writes.

“There’s speculation in the wind that Robert Pattinson has been tapped for this project (I would assume as one of the vengeful sons). He had a meeting late last year with Angelina’s lawyer, Robert Offer – and a ‘celebratory’ dinner, too – so his recent trip to see Salt with his agent is suddenly rife with new possibility,” the same e-zine writes.

Should that be the case, Pattinson would be making a very smart career move if he accepted the offer because it could make of him a bona fide star, an actor in the real sense and not just a heartthrob.

“Pattinson needs a non-romantic role. He needs something that has nothing to do with how pretty he is and would actively work against his appeal. As Fight Club turned Brad Pitt from pretty boy to man’s man, so could a violent, explosive role transform Pattinson,” the same source says.

Right now, although Angelina Jolie is extremely interested in the project, she hasn’t committed to it. Furthermore, she won’t until she has the script in her hand, as she does with every other film offer that comes her way.

As a fan of Angelina’s and Roberts, I hope the rumors prove to be true all the way around.

Angelina Jolie to Make Her Directorial Debut

Angelina Jolie will make her debut as a film director in a GK Films production of a film set during the Bosnian war, but she will not be onscreen apparently.

Angelina Jolie was in Bosnia recently with Vivienne and Knox. She met with political leaders about the plight of war refugees from the Bosnian War which occurred between 1992 and 1995. She was also seen scouting locations in Budapest over the weekend so that her family can be together while she is working.

Angelina Jolie has said of the film, “I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can. Casting will be exclusively various ethnicities of the former Yugoslavia.” I guess this makes it pretty clear that Brad Pitt or any of their Hollywood friends won’t be involved in the movie.

So far no start date for the movie has been disclosed.

Angelina Jolie to Begin Shooting a War Love Story

ABC News reports that Angelina Jolie is starting work on a movie about a love story set during the 1992-95 Bosnian War.

Angelina Jolie has said that shooting will begin in the autumn on the tale of a couple who meet on the eve of the war and the effect it has on their relationship.

“The film is a love story, not a political statement,” Jolie said in a statement issued on Saturday by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for whom she is a goodwill ambassador.

The mega-popular star and activist arrived in Sarajevo on Friday. On Saturday, she met with members of Bosnia’s inter-ethnic presidency to discuss ways to help thousands of returning war refugees.

Angelina and Brad Pitt visited returnees in eastern Bosnia in April and promised, then, to come back.

She said the movie’s cast would be comprised of actors from the various ethnicities of the former Yugoslavia.

“I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can,” Jolie said.

*** By the way, Angelina recently stated that she would NOT be starring as Marilyn Monroe in a movie about the infamous sex star. It’s tough to keep up with all the rumors!

Angelina Jolie Talks About Her Babies, Brad, and Fake Blood

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:49:17 +0000

At Monday’s London premiere of Salt, Angelina Jolie admitted to UsMagazine.com that her and Brad Pitt’s kids love to play with fake blood on movie sets. I think most kids would get an icky kick out that.

Angelina said that her litle ones (Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5 and Shiloh, 4) would often come with her on the set of Salt. “I would bring them in early in the mornings…and I’d let them [use] blood,” she said.

“So we play together, they try on my wigs, they play with the blood. They know it’s all silly! They test the harnesses and we have them flying around. They know what it is.”

The gorgeous mother pointed to proof that she shed a little of the “real stuff” while filming the action thriller. “I have a little scar right here,” she admitted, pointing to the front of her scalp, describing how she “went smack into a table” during an gun-shooting sequence. “It was a little embarrassing.”

When asked if all of the kids were along for the trip, Angelina said it was just “the babies (Vivienne and Knox, 2). I’m having some special baby time.”

The star also lent some insight into how she and Brad Pitt co-parent. “We’re very much a united front,” she told Us. “They can’t get Mommy to do something Daddy wouldn’t. We’re very much the same. But we take turns working and we bring the kids to each other’s sets, so we try to stay together.”

Angelina Jolie to Play Marilyn Monroe

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie, 35, is apparently set to play Marilyn Monroe in the movie version of The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, author Andrew O’Hagan tells the London Telegraph.

George Clooney will play Frank Sinatra.

An official announcement has not been made. According to the Telegraph, “The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe follows Monroe’s last two years through the eyes of her pet, Maf, a Maltese terrier which was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.”

Angelina Jolie also is being considered for the role of Cleopatra in another movie based on the life of the infamous, controversial figure.

“I would be honored [to play the role],” Angelina has said. “But we haven’t gotten the script yet.”

Angelina Jolie Quotes About Shiloh’s Clothes and Hair

Seriously, can’t people ever “get” that you don’t mess with a protective mother’s children?! Angelina Jolie recently defended her four-year-old daughter Shiloh’s decision to dress like a tomboy. She tells Stylist Magazine: “It’s not my choice. I have a very strong-willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is.”

“People look at kids and think they should wear certain types of clothes. I think children should wear what they want and express themselves. Shiloh cried and said: ‘Please cut my hair off, I don’t want to have long hair.’”

Angelina went on to say, “I’m not going to leave it long because somebody thinks I should. I want her to do what’s in her heart and what’s in her heart is to dress like that. I think it’s beautiful.”

Happy 9th Birthday Maddox Jolie-Pitt!

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:59:22 +0000

Angelina Jolie adopted her son Maddox during a U.N. trip to Cambodia in Nov. 2001. “There were about 14 kids in the orphanage, and he was the last child I saw,” she told Reader’s Digest. “They put him in my arms, and he was still asleep. Then they put him in a bath, and he stayed asleep. Then I sat with him and he opened his eyes and just stared at me for the longest time. Then he smiled.”

In 2003, Angelina told People magazine, “I feel I’m finally living the life I should be living, and I haven’t had that feeling before.” About her then 2 year old son Maddox, she told People, “He can do his hair in a Mohawk if I put gel in his hand.”

Maddox’s dad, Brad Pitt, fell just as in love with him as he did his mother – officially becoming his father not long after his and Angelina’s relationship was officially announced.

“Mad’s a real intellectual, which I can take no credit for genetically,” Angelina told Vanity Fair about her oldest child. “He’s great at school, great at history. He feels like he could be a writer or travel the world and learn about places and things.”

Angelina Jolie: No Thanks, Bond

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:09:36 +0000

Angelina Jolie has revealed she was offered the part of a Bond girl but turned it down.

Angelina, brilliant as a spy in the new action flick, Salt, opposite Liev Schreiber, admitted she didn’t want to be a Bond girl.

She said to Britain’s Live magazine: ‘They wanted me to play a Bond girl in Casino Royale. I said: ‘Actually, I’d prefer to play him. I’d rather be Bond‘.

‘It was a joke – kind of. It was an interesting conversation.’

Jolie’s new Salt role has been described as a Bond-like character but she disagrees with the comparison.

She said: ‘Salt is nothing like Bond. In so many spy films women are femme fatales and we wanted to avoid that. My character doesn’t use her sexuality to get anything.

‘It’s the roughest I’ve looked. When we fight, it gets ugly. Somebody breaks my nose in the film. It’s not pretty.’

Questions Swirl Around the So-Called Angelina Biography

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:34:35 +0000

Here’s a link to an outstanding article about the new trashy book that has just been released. I LOVE the way the author of this article shoots so many holes in the trashy book.

It’s really sick that any common Joe or Jane can put together a piece of dribble and sell it as Non-Fiction, when there’s so much obvious fiction involved.

Angelina’s haters will surely delight in the garbage – irregardless of how much pain this could potentially cause Angelina’s family.

Anyway, here’s the link to the article – it’s a MUST READ: Angelina Jolie Biography
