Angelina Jolie - Upcoming Movies

2011-10-20T10:49:00.001-04:00

With all the talk about Brad and Angelina's twins starting preschool, Angelina possibly being named Special Representative on the Afghan refugee situation, her two day trip to Libya and them selling their 13 million dollar Malibu home, you'd think Angelina had just given up acting.

True, her last film was The Tourist in 2010 and so far in 2011 the only thing she has coming out is Kung Fu Panda 2 where she again does the voice of Tigress.

But Angelina has several film project lined up including Churchill and Roosevelt (with Anthony Hopkins possibly as Churchill), Salt 2, Maleficent (The Sleeping Beauty story from the perspective of the princess' evil nemesis), Cleopatra and that still Untitled Kay Scarpetta Project.

Her biggest deal at the moment is the December 23rd, 2011 release of In the Land of Blood and Honey, that she wrote and directed.
This love story set during the Bosnian War was shot in Bosnia in October of 2010 and stars local actors.

More Salt for Angelina?

2011-06-12T05:49:00.001-04:00

Salt is allegedly getting ready for a sequel.
The rumor is that Columbia is getting all geared up to get the sequel rolling and that Angelina has final say on whether or not the script is to her liking.
Well of course she does, without Angelina, there will be no Salt 2.
Just like without Angelina, there is no Wanted 2.
Which is kinda funny.
Salt raked in $295,713,467 gross (so far) while Wanted pulled in $341,433,252 gross.
Yet Salt is the sequel that Angelina is interested in.
Was Salt that much of a better story?

Rotten Tomatoes gave Salt a 62% and says...
" Angelina Jolie gives it her all in the title role, and her seasoned performance is almost enough to save Salt from its predictable and ludicrous plot."
Rotten Tomatoes gives Wanted a 72% and says...
"Wanted is a fast-paced, crackling thrill ride tailor-made for the Summer audience."

As far as the fans go, Angelina won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Action Star and Angelina and Wanted were nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance, the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss, the MTV Movie Award for Best WTF Moment, the National Movie Award for Best Performance – Female and the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Movie Star
She and Salt in contrast only got nominated for the People's Choice Award for Favorite Action Star, the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Movie Star and the Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer Movie Star – Female.

Does Angelina think that Salt is a better bet for a franchise?
Are we looking at Salt 2, 3, 4 etc?

Only time will tell, because we all know she could pull out of a Salt remake at the drop of the proverbial hat.

Angelina Jolie Has Had Worse Than The Tourist

2011-01-12T16:48:00.005-05:00

Well the Angelina Jolie / Johnny Depp film "The Tourist" opened to less than stellar reviews back in December.
But that's not the only film that Angelina has done that didn't do well.

To quote the Black Knight, "I've had worse."

Remember...

Playing God (1997)
It starred Angelina, David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton and the awesome Peter Stormare.
Playing God was made for $12,000,000 and grossed $4,166,918.

Hell's Kitchen (1998)
It starred Angelina, Rosanna Arquette, William Forsythe, Mekhi Phifer, and Johnny Whitworth.
The film was made for $6,000,000 and grossed $9,122.
Wow.

Playing by Heart (1998)
Besides Angelina, this movie had more stars than you could shake a stick at like Jon Stewart, Sean Connery, Ryan Phillippe, Dennis Quaid and Gillian Anderson.
And even though Angelina won an award for "Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actress" from the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, the film still flopped.

Pushing Tin (1999)
Another film that the cast sounds interesting, Angelina, John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett, but the film went nowhere.

Beyond Borders (2003)
Although Angelina put a lot of herself in this film promoting humanitarian relief, it too was a critical and financial disaster.
For her efforts here, Angelina was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Actress.
She lost to Jennifer Lopez for Gigli.

Life or Something Like It (2002)
Angelina was nominated for a Razzie again for Life or Something Like It.
It was made for 40 million and grossed 17 million.

"Yeah, I guess The Tourist wasn't that bad after all..."

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp - The Tourist Updates

2010-10-02T11:03:00.003-04:00

The debut poster for Columbia Pictures comedy-drama -thriller "The Tourist" was released this week.
The poster has a close up of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, and carries the tag line, "It all started when he met a woman,".
The film is was directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and is a remake of the French film by Anthony Zimmer.

Interestingly, Tom Cruise was once set to play Frank (Johnny Depp's character), but he pulled out, was replaced by Sam Worthington, and then Johnny Depp
You may recall that Cruise was originally supposed to be the lead character in "Salt" and when he pulled out, Angelina took over the role.

If you havent seen the trailer yet, here it is...

Angelina Jolie Not In Gravity

2010-09-09T11:14:00.003-04:00

I mentioned back in March that Angelina Jolie would probably not be going ahead with her role in Gravity.

Well it looks like I was right, because the role is now rumored to be going to Natalie Portman.
Gravity is Alfonso Cuaron's $80 million dollar "3D survival story" about two astronauts (a male and female) who are stranded after a disaster leaves their space station inoperable.
The male lead is reported to be Robert Downey Jr.

Oddly enough, Robert Downey Jr. plays Iron Man in the very successful films, and Natalie Portman will be playing Jane Foster in the upcoming Marvel movie, Thor.

According to reports, even after Angelina originally turned down the role, Warner Bros. still tried to get her, making a second offer.
But she still said no.

Gravity is supposed to start production at the end of January 2011, but with Angelina definitely saying no, the project might be in jeopardy, even with Robert Downey and Natalie Portman.

Angelina Jolie - Salt Opens Today

2010-07-23T11:40:00.001-04:00

I first mentioned Salt back in August of 2008, and now almost two years later we finally get to see Angelina Jolie's completed project.

Salt opens today but yesterday, Angelina, director Phillip Noyce, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and co-star Liev Schreiber showed up at the Salt panel at Comic-Con in San Diego.
I think this may have been her first Comic Con appearance.

So far critics have been fairly positive about the films....
Rotten Tomatoes reports that 56% of 95 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 5.9 out of 10.
Metacritic gave it a rating score of 64 based on 34 reviews.
Kirk Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reporter liked it, as did Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert and Karina Mitchell of CBS News.
Both said it was cartoony violence and action, but it worked.
Oddly, a lack of CGI seems to be praised quite a bit.
Avatar backlash?

So now everyone seems to be looking forward to The Tourist (with Johnny Depp) and Cleopatra is already generating a lot of buzz.

Angelina Jolie, Salt and Cleopatra

2010-07-02T16:18:00.004-04:00

So just a few weeks before Angelina Jolie's movie "Salt" comes out, the FBI busts 11 alleged Russian spies.
Coincidence?
A PR agents dream?
Are my conspiracy buddies right and Hollywood really IS part of the "Shadow Government"?

Well who really knows, but what I thought may have started out as great PR for the film looks like it may be falling kinda flat as the FBI desperately tries to keep their case from looking like a joke.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/02/russian-spy-ring-fbi-evidence
After all...Salt isn't a comedy.

Too bad they don't have time for a re-write and work Anna Chapman in.
Oh well.

If you haven't visited the official Salt site yet, here it is...
http://www.whoissalt.com/

But even if Salt can't cash in on the retro Cold War feel, Angelina still has several projects in the pipeline.

Of course the next one up is The Tourist with Johnny Depp.
Then she'll be reprising the voice of Master Tigress in the sequel to Kung Fu Panda, titled Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom.
Following that, she'll start work on Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life, based on the book by Stacy Schiff, in which Angelina will play Cleopatra.

Now It's Angelina Vs Megan Vs Zoe?

2010-05-18T15:17:00.003-04:00

Well it looks like the Angelina Jolie / Megan Fox thing wasn't going anywhere, so now Hollywood has added another name to the mix.
Zoe Saldana.

In case you don't know who Zoe is, she first caught everyone's attention as Lieutenant Uhura in the re-booted Star Trek.
Then she played Neytiri in the blockbuster (which kinda seems like an understatement) Avatar.
Recently she starred as Aisha in The Losers.
But it seems her being considered for a role as an assassin in the upcoming film Colombiana is what sparked all this.

Okay, really...I don't see it.
I mean yes she is (maybe) playing an assassin in a film and they are comparing that to Angelina in Mr and Mrs Smith.
But really Angelina was an assassin in Wanted.
Now if Zoe were taking over her role in Wanted 2 or play Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot (which would have a really cool Julie Newmar/Eartha Kitt feel to it), I could maybe understand it.
But how many women in Hollywood have played assassins and not been compared to Angelina?

I guess the Megan Fox thing wasn't going anywhere (like her career) and Hollywood needed something new for the gossip mills.

But until Zoe starts getting a lot of tattoos and adopting kids, (or stars in Wanted 2 or Tomb Raider), or wins an Oscar or two, just let it go.

Now on a more Angelina related note, you can go to http://dayxexists.com/ and take a look at the preview of the immersive online game based on Angie's upcoming movie Salt.

Twilight's Kristen Stewart to replace Angelina Jolie in Wanted 2?

2010-04-23T13:01:00.003-04:00

I said that when Angelina Jolie pulled out of the Wanted sequel, that I thought that pretty much killed it.
But the producers may have figured out a way around Angelina's absence, by focusing on another up and coming star.
No, not Megan Fox.
It appears the producers are looking at Twilight's Kristen Stewart to fill the void left by Angelina.

Rumor has it that Kristen will play a young assassin and James McAvoy will be back as Wesley Gibson.
The original idea that I had heard was that Fox (Angelina's character) was put in the healing wax bath and that she would be good to go for the sequel.
But when Angie nixed that idea, all looked like it was lost.

If this works out and Kristen does do the Wanted sequel, that will put the legions of Twilight fans behind the new project.

Now, will Kristen be playing Fox or another character?

As you know, Fox took a bullet to the head in the original, so could even the waxy bath save her?
Does she have an ability that allows her to regenerate like Dr. Who?
Did she do some kinda psychic transfer just before she died?
Does Wesley do some secret Tibetan ritual that transfers Fox's essence from one body to another?
Does Kristen play an all new character?
I gotta go with the last one, because that would allow Wesley to become the mentor, let Fox rest in peace, and give Kristen a new character to fill out.

Angelina Jolie Takes a Break From The Tourist

2010-04-05T10:19:00.001-04:00

Even though the tabloids have been saying that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the rocks (when haven't they?) Brangelina somehow managed to fly down to Bosnia over the weekend.
I guess the nay-sayers will come out with an explanation for that.
As you probably know, Angelina is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations (she has been since 2001), and she has done a lot of work for them.
But now Brad is going with her.
And Angelina actually took a break from the six kids, and working on "The Tourist" (with Johnny Depp) in Venice, Italy to fly down.
Or is it fly over?
Anyway, Brad and Angelina weren't there for the publicity, because they tried to avoid the spotlight as much as possible.
Well as much as a couple that famous can at least.

And in other news, Columbia Pictures released the full theatrical version movie trailer for Angelina's upcoming film "Salt".
And of course Screamingangie1 has it, and you can see it here:

All About Angelina Jolie - Screamingangie1's Channel

2010-03-24T10:04:00.003-04:00

I don't know if I have mentioned it before, but there's a channel on YouTube that has as many Angelina Jolie trailers, interviews, behind the scenes clips and pretty much anything else Angelina related you want to see.

It's Screamingangie1's Channel "All About Angelina Jolie" and the channel not only has the latest "Salt" info, but also some info from "The Tourist" as well.

So basically, anything Angelina related in the news is gonna be there.

Like for instance, here are some stills from The Tourist in a nice little five minute video.....

You can see this and more like it at Screamingangie1's Channel here:

Angelina Jolie - The Tourist, Wanted 2 and Serena

2010-03-09T10:58:00.004-05:00

You probably noticed that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt missed the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles.
Well they were in Italy were Angelina is shooting her new movie The Tourist (with Johnny Depp), and rather than blast across the globe for the ceremony, Brad and Angelina decided to stay in Italy and take the oldest kids to the director's house (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) to celebrate one of his kids' birthdays.
By the way, The Tourist is set to be released on February 16, 2011.

So with Salt in the bag, and The Tourist filming...what's next for Angelina?

For one thing, it looks like Wanted 2 will have to continue on without her because she has passed on that project.
Well not really continue, when Angelina passed on it, that pretty much killed the sequel.
And it was rumored that she would show up in the space-thriller, Gravity directed by Alfonso Cuarón, but it looks like that is a no go as well.

Two projects that are getting some attention are the film adaptation of Ron Rash's novel Serena, about the ambitious wife of a North Carolina timber baron.
The film may be directed by The Wrestler's director, Darren Aronofsky.
Does that mean Angelina will come to NC (my home state) to shoot?
Probably not, they'll probably film it in Vancouver...

Another project is a film adaptation of Patricia Cornwell's Dr. Kay Scarpetta books.
Well not really an adaptation, from what I hear it will be an original story focusing on a younger Scarpetta before the books start.
Did you know that Patricia Cornwell lived in NC for awhile as well?
Hmmmm...

And in tabloid fodder news, in the new book by Jenny Paul, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The True Story, the author says that Angelina Jolie had an affair with Mick Jagger twice.
The first time was in 1997 when Mick was married to Jerry Hall, and Angelina was married to Jonny Lee Miller.
At that time, Angelina appeared in the Rolling Stones 1997 video “Anybody Seen My Baby.” which you can see here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElOXKt0v7-A

And the book goes on to say that they hooked up again in 2003, after Angelina divorced Billy Bob Thornton.

Angelina Jolie, Tila Tequila, Haiti and News of the World

2010-02-15T12:24:00.001-05:00

Wow....Tila Tequila thinks Angelina Jolie is copying her.
Yes, the former MTV reality show star said "Oh so now Angelina Jolie is trying to adopt a baby from Haiti! Ha! Copying me much?? I used to like her, but having that many kids is abuse!"

Well Angelina did go to Haiti, she is after all a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
She and Brad Pitt have donated one million dollars to Doctors without Borders for their emergency medical operations in Haiti.
And when Angelina was in Haiti, she met with Edmond Mulet, acting U.N. Special Representative for Haiti and senior U.N. staff at their headquarters.
She also met with Haitians doing quake debris cleanup and she spent the night in a Brazilian military camp outside Port-au-Prince.

Brad has been quoted as saying that Angelina is "always open to children around the world," but she will not be adopting a kid from the earthquake-devastated country any time soon.

And Angelina told CNN that "For somebody who is an adoptive parent, I understand the urge to assist in that way. But now is not the time, an emergency is not the time for new adoptions in any way."

Maybe we should get Tila a RSS news feed so she can keep up with all this.

And in other news, Brad and Angelina are firing back at the British tabloid, News of the World, for the story they ran last month that alleged the couple were working out details of a split.
I guess they finally had enough of the rumor, so they have decided to sue News of the World.
As I have pointed out here before, it seems about every six months the tabloids run their "Brad and Angelina Are Breaking Up" story with a little variation each time.
Maybe a few lawsuits will stifle that noise.

Brad is one of the handsomest men in the world and Angelina is one of the most beautiful women so I guess that makes them targets.
But c'mon people, Angelina and Brad have done way more to help the world's children than a lot (maybe 95%) of the stars out there.
Sure they may have problems, who doesn't?
So the next time you see a tabloid article screaming some lurid details about their life, think about all the good they have done.
I hate to go all Biblical here, but read Matthew 7:15-20.
"By their fruit you will recognize them."

By the way, just for fun, I did an Angelina Jolie Versus Megan Fox Hub over at Hub Pages.
Guess who's in the lead....?

Angelina Jolie, Karen Elson and St John

2010-01-08T16:39:00.003-05:00

Although Angelina Jolie is on the cover of almost every tabloid and gossip magazine in the world, the one place you wont be seeing her is in ads for St. John, the luxury knitwear company.
The company has decided to step away from actresses and has chosen red haired model Karen Elson as their new face.
According to George Sharp, executive vice president of design for St. John, Karen is the “epitome of the modern day woman…the St. John woman… strong, confident, sensual and approachable with effortless glamour.”
And St. John CEO Glenn McMahon said that Angelina is bigger than the brand, and was overshadowing the brand name.

At a poll on the Huffington Post, Angelina was (as of this entry) beating Karen Elson in a poll almost two to one.

And remember the movies that you've seen with Angelina with blonde hair?
Well it turns out, Angelina really has dark blonde hair.
Her mother Marcheline Bertrand didn't care for her blonde locks, so since the age of four, Angelina has been dying her hair dark brown.

And speaking of Angelina's mother, she left $100,000 in a trust fund to three of Angelina's children, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh.
What about Pax and the twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline?
Well Angelina's mother passed away before those three were born.

Angelina Jolie, Her Firm Abs and The Cinch

2009-12-21T11:12:00.001-05:00

So how did Angelina Jolie bounce back so fast after giving birth?
How did she achieve her after pregnancy weight loss?
According to some sources, it's because of a waist-cinching belt called, appropriately enough, The Cinch.

The Cinch is a foot-high canvas belt that wraps around a woman's waist and promises to help new mothers "regain their figures, by tightening all the abdominal muscles with the dual front panels and further cinching with double side wings".

The Cinch has allegedly been used by celebrities like Amy Poehler, Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani and Minnie Driver to regain their flat stomachs after childbirth.

Angelina did lost her "baby bump" pretty quickly, but I have seen women do that naturally, and I thought Angelina's return to fighting form was due to Gunnar Peterson, her personal trainer and hard work.
I have heard that Angelina spends five to six hours a day in the gym.

And while the Cinch is making a big splash, the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) in the UK is warning new mothers that the belt may not be for everyone.
A RCM spokesperson said...
“It is not safe to wear them just after giving birth. I wouldn’t recommend it from a medical perspective. A midwife needs to check that a woman’s uterus is going down after birth. Wearing that could hide the fact that a woman’s uterus isn’t going down, and conceal internal bleeding.”

A spokesperson for The Cinch said that they have not received any complaints about the product or any reports of mothers feeling unwell because of it.

The Cinch is being sold in the UK at Harrods
You can find The Cinch online here: http://www.duematernity.com/ciwrpococo.html
And it runs $86.00 here in the US.

A lot of the buzz about Angelina's stomach is coming from the fact that in her new movie Salt, there are scenes in it where she wears lingerie, and you can clearly see her flat stomach.
While some have claimed body double, her tattoos are visible.
And the last time we saw Angelina's tummy was back in Tomb Raider, before she had Shiloh and the twins.
In the new trailer for Salt, you can see the stomach in question at about 1:44...

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Brangelina

2009-12-01T10:56:00.003-05:00

I guess in part due to the upcoming “Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie” by Ian Halpern, Angelina Jolie seems to be all over the tabloids again.

The Angelina tell-all book is written by the same man that wrote “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson”.
And like his Michael book, this book makes heavy use of anonymous sources.
We all know how reliable they are right?
Anyway, the Brangelina book is supposed to be backed up by interviews with 900 people that know Brad and Angelina.
I guess 900 of their closest friends?

Halpern says in the book that a Angelina / Brad split is imminent.
Well...In December of 2008, Halperin said that Michael Jackson only had six months to live.
On June 25th, 2009 he passed away.
But while he was (frighteningly) right on target with Jackson's death, he was wrong about him having a whole laundry list of medical conditions.
So I guess we will have to wait and see if Brad and Angelina split up by the end of 2010.

But I guess the big real news about Angelina is that she and Johnny Depp will be starring in The Tourist, set for release in 2011.
And of course the leaked shower scene from the script has everyone going.
From what I understand, The Tourist is a remake of a 2005 film called Anthony Zimmer that starred Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal.

And finally, Angelina seems to have fallen out of love with President Obama.
(It seems a lot of celebs are)
Before the election, Angelina told the German edition of Vanity Fair that Obama would be great for her family.
But now she is rumored to be openly criticizing him.
Now before you go the " she's just an actress what does she know?" route, remember that she is also a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, and has contacts all over the world.

The Actress Angelina Jolie, Part Four

2009-11-09T12:11:00.009-05:00

In 2005, Angelina Jolie only had one movie released, the romantic action comedy film Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
I have to admit though, it was one of my favorites.
Of course her co-star in the film was Brad Pitt, and I thought they showed amazing chemistry.
I wonder if the film was like couples therapy for them?
Anyway, the film was one of the biggest hits of 2005, and earned over $478 million worldwide.

Her next film was 2006's The Good Shepherd, directed by Robert De Niro.
In this film she co-stared with Matt Damon, William Hurt, Alec Baldwin and Joe Pesci.
This film was nowhere near as successful as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, only pulling in $99.4 million worldwide.

In 2007, Angelina directed her first movie, the documentary A Place in Time.
The movie was screened at the Tribeca Film Festival and distributed through the National Education Association.
It was shown mainly in High Schools, and chronicled life in 27 locations around the globe during a single week.

Also in 2007, she appeared in A Mighty Heart, directed by Michael Winterbottom.
Again, this film failed to really take off, taking in only a little over $18 million worldwide, although the critics seemed to like it.
The film did get Angelina her fourth Golden Globe Award and a third Screen Actors Guild Award nomination.

And of course in 2007 she appeared in Robert Zemeckis' "performance capture" fantasy film, Beowulf.
Angelina played Grendel's mother and was digitalized.
Beowulf did much better, pulling in over $196 million dollars worldwide.
The film used a a motion capture process like The Polar Express and Monster House, and was released in IMAX 3D, Real D, Dolby 3D and standard 2D format.

2008 started off with a bang (literally) as Angelina appeared as the assassin "Fox" in Wanted.
The movie itself is a far cry from the comic series it was based on.
The film got pretty much positive reviews from critics and made over $341 million worldwide.
Wanted won the Empire Award for Best Sci-Fi / Superhero Movie of 2008, and was nominated for two Academy Awards, the Critics Choice Award for Best Action Movie, the Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film, three MTV Movie Awards,and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble.
And yes, the sequel is pretty much a go, with Fox being resurrected.

And in 2008, Angelina did the voice of Master Tigress in the animated Kung Fu Panda.
Again, the film received positive reviews from critics and pulled in over $600 million worldwide.
On November 9, 2008, it was released on DVD and Blu-Ray.
And like Wanted, there is a sequel planned, Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom.

Staying busy in 2008 (and drastically changing geras) Angelina appeared in Clint Eastwood's drama Changeling which was based on the "Wineville Chicken Coop" kidnapping and murder case.
Changeling made over $113 million worldwide, with most of the money being made overseas.
The film was nominated for three Academy Award and eight BAFTA Awards.

And now Angelina is working on Salt, an action thriller film directed by Phillip Noyce.
Her co-stars in the film are Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Interestingly, the role was originally written for Tom Cruise, but the script was rewritten for Angelina.
The official release date is set for July 23, 2010.

The Actress Angelina Jolie, Part Three

2009-09-25T13:02:00.005-04:00

The Actress Angelina Jolie, Part Three

Even though Angelina Jolie was getting critical acclaim, her next movie based on a video game is what shot her into international stardom.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was directed by Simon West (Con Air) and was of course based on the wildly popular Tomb Raider action adventure games.
What strikes me as odd about this movie now is that Angelina took on an English accent and Daniel Craig (007) took on an American accent.
The film also starred Christopher Barrie, also known as "Arnold Rimmer" in the BBC sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider got mainly negative reviews when it came out, and went on to make over $300 million dollars worldwide.
And even though Angelina was nominated for several major film awards before this move, Tomb Raider got her a Worst Actress Golden Raspberry Award nomination.
But over $300 million dollars?
They can keep their negative reviews.

Then Angelina went on to form a dream duo with Antonio Banderas in 2001's Original Sin.
You would think a movie with Angelina and Antonio would be pure box office gold, but the film was panned by critics, even though Angelina's performance received positive reviews.

Then came Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life in 2003.
And even though the critics actually seemed to like it a little more than the original, it took home less with $274.4 million worldwide.
So if the critics hate it, it goes well, if the critics like it, not so much.

Next up was Beyond Borders, a film about aid workers in Africa that echoed Angelina's real-life interest in promoting humanitarian relief.
Not only did the critics not like it, but audiences didn't seem to care for it either.
Although the movie was nominated for two awards....The Political Film Society (PFS) Award for peace and (again) the Razzie Award for Worst Actress.
BTW, Brad Pitt's Seven Years in Tibet was also nominated for the The PFS Award for peace after it came out.

In 2004, Angelina starred with Ethan Hawke in the thriller Taking Lives.
She followed that with an appearance in the animated DreamWorks movie Shark Tale as the voice of Lola, an angelfish.

And then what amounted to a cameo in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
The role may have been small, but the image of Angelina in the military outfit and eye patch has held on.
Then she appeared in Oliver Stone's film about the life of Alexander the Great, Alexander.

The Actress Angelina Jolie, Part Two

2009-09-16T13:03:00.002-04:00

In 1998, Angelina Jolie starred in a HBO film Gia, about the life of supermodel Gia Carangi.
If George Wallace got the critics attention, Gia won their respect.
Gia netted Angelina a Golden Globe award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.
Angelina was also nominated for an Emmy Award.

After Gia, Angelina stopped acting for a bit and enrolled in New York University to study film making and she attended writing classes.
I think maybe part of the reason for her short break, was that she put so much of herself into the role of Gia.
Angelina used method acting and totally immersed herself in the part. That technique can give a great performance, but it can take a toll on the actor.

But Angelina came back in the 1998 gangster movie Hell's Kitchen.
Angelina played Gloria McNeary, and co-starred with Rosanna Arquette, William Forsythe, Angelina Jolie, Mekhi Phifer, and Johnny Whitworth.
And later in 1998, she appeared in the comedy-drama film, Playing by Heart with Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, Gillian Anderson, Dennis Quaid, Ryan Phillippe and Jon Stewart.
For her role as Joan in the film, Angelina won "Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actress" from the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures.

1999 brought Pushing Tin, another comedy-drama that Angelina starred in along with John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, and Cate Blanchett.
In the film, Angelina played the wife of Billy Bob Thornton's character.
That was followed by The Bone Collector with Denzel Washington.
The film didn't do well with critics, but grossed $151 million worldwide.
Also in 1999 came the role of Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted.
Even though the film starred Winona Ryder as the main character, Angelina's performance stole the show.
She pulled in her third Golden Globe Award, her second Screen Actors Guild Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Then in 2000, Angelina got her first summer blockbuster, Gone In 60 Seconds with Nicolas Cage, Giovanni Ribisi, Christopher Eccleston (Dr. Who!), Robert Duvall and Will Patton.
A remake of the 1974 movie, the film wasn't loved by critics, but pulled in $987 million worldwide.
Thanks in some small part to Angelina Jolie as "Sway" I'm sure.

The Actress Angelina Jolie, Part One

2009-08-18T12:52:00.005-04:00

Everyone seems to focus on Angelina Jolie's adoptions, charities, weight, relationship with Brad Pitt, rivalries with Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox etc., no one seems to actually focus on the actress Angelina Jolie.

Angelina has done thirty five movies, counting her current project "Salt".
She started out with her very first movie "Lookin’ to Get Out" in 1982 at the age of seven.
The film was written by Al Schwartz and her father,Jon Voight, and Angelina appears as Jon's character's daughter "Tosh" near the end of the film.

Of course she didnt show up in film again until 1993's Cyborg 2 as Casella "Cash" Reese.
Cyborg 2 was actually part of a trilogy starting with Cyborg (starring Jean-Claude Van Damme) and ending with the direct to video Cyborg 3: The Recycler.
In the third movie, Angelina's character was played by Khrystyne Haje.

Then came 1995's Without Evidence where Angelina starred with Scott Plank (Melrose Place).
But Angelina's other 1995 was the cult hit "Hackers".
Angelina starred in it as Kate Libby also known as "Acid Burn".

1996 saw three movies with Angelina come out, Mojave Moon ( with Danny Aiello, Anne Archer, Michael Biehn, Alfred Molina and Peter MacNicol), Love Is All There Is (a romantic comedy film) and Foxfire.

In 1997 Angelina had three more projects.
Two TV movies (True Women and George Wallace) and a theatrical release, Playing God ( with David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton and the awesome Peter Stormare).
Playing God didn't do very well, but the TV movie George Wallace got Angelina a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Series/Miniseries/TV Movie, and an Emmy Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie.

So finally, Angelina Jolie was getting some attention.

Angelina Jolie's Version of "The Little Black Dress"

2009-08-13T11:06:00.003-04:00

Out of all the Angelina Jolie news this week. it seems like the most popular topic was the dress she wore to the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's (and Brad Pitt's of course) new movie.
Everyone seemed to like the skin tight black leather dress and thought she looked great in it.
Maybe she wore the dress to kill the pregnancy rumors.
Because she sure didn't look pregnant.

And Angelina is making news of another kind....sorta.
Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards will debut his new sculpture "Landmark of Breastfeeding" on September 11 at MainSite Contemporary Art, in Norman, Oklahoma.
You may remember Mr. Edwards from some of his sculptures...the disembodied head of Ted Williams, a life-sized statue of Britney Spears giving birth on her hands and knees on a bearskin rug, a bust of Senator Hillary Clinton, the Paris Hilton Autopsy sculpture and a 25 foot bust of Fidel Castro.
This time, the sculpture is of Angelina breastfeeding her twins.

Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox

2009-08-06T10:45:00.002-04:00

Well it looks like all the Angelina Jolie / Megan Fox hype has finally gotten to...well Angelina and Megan.

Angelina recently told Life & Style magazine...
“Is she aiding in Africa or sitting in on U.N. conferences? Donating herself to something bigger than Hollywood? I’m not familiar with her work, is she an Oscar contender?”

Wow.

And Megan recently told Pop Tarts at Fox News that she was tired of the Angelina Jolie comparisons.
Though she seemed to lean more towards blaming the media.
"I think its cause she has tattoos really, I think a lack of creativity on the media's part,"
Megan has said in the past....
“I love Angelina Jolie. She’s someone I admire and look up to. She’s my favorite actress in Hollywood. I just love that she’s incredibly honest, and I feel that she’s not afraid to be herself. She tells you exactly what’s on her mind. Every time a relationship ends, I say, ‘If I could just be Angelina’s girlfriend, I would be so happy,’”

Angelina's dad, Jon Voight, took a more "old school" classy tact though.....
“Megan is herself and Angelina is herself. No one is comparable; everyone in the world is unique. That’s the great thing about it, but of course they’re two very beautiful women.”

Friends of Angelina say that her attitude towards Megan has more to do with Angelina turning 34 on June 4th this year than with Megan actually.
And I imagine the Tomb Raider reboot rumors aren't helping any either.

Angelina Jolie News: Iraq, McDonalds and Wanted 2

2009-07-28T10:47:00.000-04:00

Lots of Angelina Jolie news today so.....

Angelina made her third trip to Iraq last Thursday show her support for Iraqis affected by war.
Why three trips?
Well you have to remember that besides beign an actress, Angelina is also a U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Goodwill Ambassador.
Angelina first visited Iraq in 2007, then again in Februray 2009, and then again last Thursday.
On Thursday she toured a makeshift settlement on the outskirts of Baghdad on Thursday, where 20,000 Iraqis live.

And in other news, Angelina and Brad hit a McDonalds drive thru over the weekend.
Yep, thats actually being reported as news.
Details: Brad was driving, Angie rode shotgun and all the kids ( Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins, Knox and Vivienne) were in the back.
No word on what they ordered.

And speaking of Knox and Vivienne, they turned 1 on July 12th.
Yes it's really been a little over a year since they were born.

And it looks like there will be a "Wanted 2" and that James McAvoy (Wesley Gibson) and Angelina (Fox) will both be in it.
But Fox died in the first one.
Ahhhh...but in movie sequels (like comic books and Wanted was loosely based on a comic book) people rarely stay dead.
At the San Diego Comic Con, director Timur Bekmambetov said that even though Fox was seriously wounded (yep) she was put in the "wax bath" from the first movie.
Can that heal her?
If Angelina Jolie signs on, trust me, they will find a way to get Fox back up and running.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Mr and Mrs Smith 2?

2009-07-22T10:45:00.000-04:00

There's a rumor floating around that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want to make a sequel to their hit movie "Mr and Mrs Smith".
I say rumor because the only place I could find any info about it was the National Enquirer.
At least it didn't say Angelina and Brad were looking at an apartment on the Moon.
You may recall they met and fell in love on the set while they were filming back in 2005.
Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.

Allegedly the sequel will have the couple....with kids.
Kids?
Mr and Mrs Smith with children?
Are we getting into Disney territory here?

I really liked the original.
And it grossed over $458 million world wide so it did pretty well.
Except in Colombia where they got a tad upset about the movie.
There was even talk of a spin off TV series.
Though not with Angelina and Brad.

Angelina and David Beckham?

2009-07-15T11:16:00.001-04:00

Angelina Jolie has reportedly signed with Emporio Armani to become the hands-on spokesmodel of their new perfume.
The name of the perfume is as yet unrevealed, but Angelina is expected to be heavily involved in it's promotion.
So heavily involved, that Angelina is reportedly picking the photographers and directors for the ad campaign.

Of course David Beckham is also a spokesperson for Armani, so could we be seeing an ad campaign with both Angelina and David?
"No" according to Beckham.
Beckham told Extra that even though he is a huge Angelina fan, he wouldn't feel right about doing an ad with her.
He said...
"She's an amazing person and so is Brad Pitt. They're an incredible couple -- got an amazing family. You know she wouldn't do it and I wouldn't do it. At the end of the day, I wouldn't do it because I'm married."
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=7&entry_id=43593

Because he's married?
What kinda ad was David thinking they were gonna do?
Well evidently it was rumored to be very steamy.
Basically a traffic stopping billboard.
Like everything else with Angelina, we just have to wait and see what really happens.

Angelina Jolie, the Forbes List and More Kids?

2009-06-08T13:09:00.002-04:00

Angelina Jolie knocked Oprah Winfrey out of the top spot on the Forbes Magazine’s Most Powerful Celebrities list.
The magazine cites Angie's busy year with “Kung Fu Panda,” “Wanted” and her new film “Salt,” earning her a cool $27 million dollars.
Also all the press (good and bad) about the birth of her twins (Vivienne and Knox) and with the constant media attention she gets from her relationship with Brad Pitt helped keep her in the limelight.
The annual Celebrity 100 list, ranks the rich and famous based on media exposure and career earnings over the past year.

And despite all the "break up" rumors we keep hearing, now there is a rumor that Brad and Angelina may finally be tying the knot.
And the big wedding may take place in the Caribbean.

And there is another rumor that seven maybe Brad and Angelina's lucky number.
Yes, by adoption or natural birth, the couple may be looking at adding another child to the clan.
Okay guys, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it" was written a long time ago.
You can stop now.

Angelina Jolie and the Deadly Set Light

2009-06-01T13:11:00.002-04:00

While working on the set of her upcoming movie "Salt" Angelina Jolie was injured.
Sounds terrible huh?
She accidentally bumped into a set light.
Doesnt sound that bad huh?
Well she got cut and a slight concussion.
See?
She "bumped" into a light...and "bumped" it hard enough to get a concussion?
How hard did she hit that thing?
Well she came back to work, trooper that she is, and they used makeup to cover the injury.
It was evidently right between the eyes.

And in more Tomb Raider 3 news, it looks like producer Dan Lin is in favor of Megan Fox as the new Lara Croft.
Forget Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie is the feud I wanna see!

Angelina Jolie And James McAvoy were nominated for "Best Kiss"(for Wanted) at MTV's Movie Awards, but they lost to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for Twilight.
There is no justice.

Angelina Joile and Tomb Raider 3

2009-05-20T13:30:00.000-04:00

Tomb Raider 3 is going ahead with production.
But it will be going ahead without Angelina Joile.
The producer Dan Lin has said that he wants the new movie to be a re-boot (here we go again) and that the new movie will focus on a younger Lara Croft and her origin story.
He also said he wants the film to be more character-driven.
He also wants to make the movie more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies.
You can see the video interview with Dan Lin here:
http://video.about.com/movies/Dan-Lin-Interview.htm

Tomb Raider
Character-driven?
More realistic?

Lofty goals.
But isn't this a movie about a video game?
Don't get me wrong, I like story as much as anybody.
And action films can have a good storyline.
But isn't Tomb Raider supposed to be escapism?
A gorgeous, smart, athletic woman running around blasting the bad guys?
I just can't see a Tomb Raider movie winning an Oscar for best picture.
And I suppose since it's a reboot, Tomb Raider 3 is out as a title.
Let me guess..."Tomb Raider: A New Beginning".

Here's my idea.....
Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) runs into trouble in the present day, finds a mystic artifact that transports her back in time and meets her younger self (Megan Fox).
The two Tomb Raiders team up and save the world (while of course causing massive destruction) and look really good doing it.

There, you can thank me for the 95 million dollar opening weekend later.

Are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Splitting up?

2009-05-12T19:42:00.001-04:00

Are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Splitting up?

Now multiple sources are saying that Brad and Angelina are heading for a break up.
Again?
Yes, it seems it's that time of the year again when the media has decided enough is enough.
Again.

This time, it seems that Brad is tired of watching the kids 24/7 while Angelina shoots movies.
But imagine if this does go through this time.
An estimated $250 million fortune at stake, plus custody of the kids.
Throw in the Jennifer Aniston angle and you have the makings of a media firestorm.
Oh yeah, and don't forget the book by the former bodyguard.

Want proof of the break up?
Read this....
"Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's relationship is on the verge of coming to an end following a furious fight between the pair, according to reports."
http://www.hollywood.com/news/Jolie_and_Pitt_to_Split/4515894

Wait a second, that was August 02, 2007.
Hmmmm....how many times have we been through this?

How Many Angelinas Are There?

2009-05-11T11:49:00.002-04:00

There are so many reports about Brad and Angelina everyday that you would think there are about four alternate reality Brangelina's running around.

Alternate Reality Brangelina One:
In this reality, Brad and the kids gave Angelina a beautiful Mother's Day present, an album containing love notes from each of their six children along with photos.

Alternate Reality Brangelina Two:
In this reality, Angelina is mad because Brad's Ex Jennifer Aniston is secretly giving Brad gifts.
"Secretly"?
The main stream media knows about it and is reporting it, how secret can it be?

Alternate Reality Brangelina Three:
In this reality, the cast and crew of her new movie "Salt" are concerned about her.
They think she is harming herself, not eating and crying everyday in her trailer.

Alternate Reality Brangelina Four:
In this reality, Brad has entered a rehab program for alcohol addiction and to get away from "the iron grip of Angelina Jolie".

Hey, maybe Spock can go back through time and tie up all these realities and fix everything.

Angelina and....Madonna?

2009-05-07T19:09:00.002-04:00

Ahhhhh...now we know what Angelina was so upset about with the bodyguard's book.
It seems that the tell all book has details about Angelina's affair with “one of the biggest names in rock.”
Now...just who is the rock star alluded to in Mickey Brett's book?
Well get this...now it is rumored to be a female rock star.
Now...who is the rock star?
I have no idea, but I'm guessing Madonna.
Remember the Jenny Shimizu incident back in 2006?

And while the Brangelina war machine is gearing up to crush Brett's book before it gets out of the starting gate....word comes of an attack on another front.
Andrew Morton, the guy that wrote unauthorized biographies of Monica Lewinsky, Princess Diana and Tom Cruise, is now targeting Angie.

And is all the fireworks coming from the Jolie-Pitt camp the reason were seeing the obligatory Brad Pitt / Jennifer Aniston stuff now?
Touch magazine says that Brad visited Jennifer on the set of her new movie "The Baster", while Angelina was working on the set of her movie "Salt".
Of course this report is denied by all the reps of the people involved.
Besides the visit, the two have also allegedly been exchanging text messages and had lengthy phone calls.

Angelina Jolie and the Bodyguard

2009-04-28T11:33:00.001-04:00

A former bodyguard of Angelina and Brad, Mickey Brett, is getting into hot water with the pair.
Brett has protected stars like Sandra Bullock,Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sly Stallone, Richard Gere and of course Brangelina.
But now his tell all memoir and possibly a TV show, seem to have Brad and Angie on the defensive.
It seems Brett really liked Angelina and speaks highly of her, but he doesn't hold Brad in the same high regard.
So Brad and Angelina have gotten some of the most feared libel attorneys in the U.S. and the U.K. to make sure Brett's story doesn't get out.

Which of course makes me wonder.
What did they do that they don't want everyone to know about?
Is it just a privacy issue?
Are Sandra Bullock,Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sly Stallone and Richard Gere this upset about the book?
I mean c'mon, it looks like Tom would be the first to launch an attack.

Angelina Jolie is The Most Beautiful Woman in the World

2009-04-21T18:38:00.001-04:00

Wow.
I have read lots of bad things posted about Ms Jolie on the internet, but evidently none of the haters are Vanity Fair readers.
Angelina Jolie was named "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" in a Vanity Fair poll.

Not only did Angelina win, she mopped the floor up with her rivals.
It wasn't even a fight.

Angelina won with 58 per cent of the vote.
He closest competition (if you could call it that) was supermodel Gisele Bundchen with nine per cent.
Yes, nine per cent.
And Angelina left all the other women in the dust.
Halle Berry got four per cent.
Bar Refaeli, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Queen Rania of Jordan and Jennifer Connelly all tied for fourth place with three per cent each.
Beyonce Knowles, Catherine Deneuve, Kate Moss, Carla Bruni and Gwyneth Paltrow were all also-rans.

Now Angelina Jolie Didn't Collapse.....

2009-04-09T12:10:00.000-04:00

Okay, it may seem like I'm fixated on the De-tox Diet thing....but now Sony has denied that Angelina Jolie collapsed on the set of her new movie "Salt"......

Studio: Angelina Jolie Did Not Collapse On 'Salt' Set
Despite internet rumors, Angelina Jolie did not collapse on the set of her new spy-thriller, "Salt," Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Earlier this week, a host of reports surfaced suggesting that the Oscar-winner had collapsed after looking fragile and weak on the set of "Salt," which she is currently filming in New York City and Washington DC.

Full story here

Angelina Jolie News

2009-04-05T16:25:00.002-04:00

Wow...the Brangelina news has been flying hot and heavy the past couple of days.
Starting off...I think I mentioned something about being careful with that de-tox diet she was on in another post.
Well look what happened.....

Angelina Jolie 'Treated For Exhaustion on Movie Set'
By Adam, April 5 2009
Angelina Jolie has been treated for exhaustion on the New York set of her new movie Salt, according to reports.
The actress - whose relationship with partner Brad Pitt is reportedly close to collapse - was forced to see a doctor after complaining of dizzy spells.

Full article here

Angelina Jolie and the Detox Diet

2009-03-24T09:36:00.000-04:00

Angelina Jolie is doing the lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup detox diet on the set of her new movie "Salt" and it appears to have some of her co-stars and crew members a little anxious over her health.
Angelina plans to lose 21 pounds.
The last I heard, everyone was worried about her losing weight, so why is she trying to lose more?
Well it seems one of her disguises in the movie is...a man.
So she is trying to lose her curves to do a more realistic portrayal.
The problem is that Angelina is doing her own stunts, and the detox diet is, according to sources, leaving her weak, dizzy and light headed.
You do NOT want a dizzy and light headed stunt woman.

From what I am reading, it seems she is using the Master Cleanse diet created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941.
The diet itself was made popular in Peter Glickman's book, Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days.
Burroughs didn't only say that the diet would make you lose weight, but that it also remove harmful toxins from within the body, cure ulcers and "every kind of disease" in the body.
He was later convicted of unlawfully selling devices he claimed could cure cancer, and practicing medicine without a license.

Angelina is not the only celeb to embrace this diet.
Beyoncé did it for 14 days and lost 22 pounds.
Although afterward she denounced using the cleanse as a weight-loss program.
Howard Stern's co host Robin Quivers told People magazine that she went from 218 pounds to 145 pounds on the cleanse.

Despite celebrity use, most doctors say the system is potentially dangerous.

Angelina Jolie and her Lips.

2009-03-17T10:42:00.003-04:00

In the category of "Gosh I'm glad that all the world's problems are fixed so let's devote all our time and research to stupid things" we have a company in the good old US that has developed lip-reading software that can rate lips on a 10-point attractiveness scale.
No it wasn't drunk frat boys.
It was actually a "lipologist" (?) named Dr Kendra Schmid and it's called the Baileys Lip Attractiveness Software.
(I wonder if I can get it as a Firefox add on?)
Anyway, the reason why I've even mentioning it is because of the rankings.
You know how Angelina's lips are supposed to be one of her best qualities?
Not according to scientific (::snicker::) study.
No, the best lips in the world belong to....
Italian actress and fashion model Monica Belluci!
I can see that.
She got a perfect ten.
Next up was....
Scarlett Johansson!
Still no Angelina.
Third place was...
Halle Berry!
Still no Angelina?
Fourth place was....
Beyonce!
Awww c'mon!
Yes Angelina came in a paltry fifth place.

Angelina Jolie in Salt

2009-03-06T14:18:00.000-05:00

It seems Angelina Jolie really IS in the movie "Salt".
We know this because she was seen in Washington, D.C filming on the set.
And apparently she has dyed her hair blond again.
Angelina is also doing all her own stunts.
Of course Angelina is used to action movies and stunts.
Her action movies seem to do really well as in the Lara Croft:Tomb Raider films (2001 and 2003), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and Wanted (2008).

Angelina will be starring in Salt alongside Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Chiwetel Ejiofor ( The upcoming 2012).
The film is being directed by Phillip Noyce (who worked with Angelina on The Bone Collector) and written by Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium,Ultraviolet) and Brian Helgeland (The Bourne Supremacy, Man on Fire). So the writers and directors seem to know their action films.
Look for a 2010 release.

No Angelina / Jennifer Brawl Last Night

2009-02-23T11:25:00.002-05:00

No, this is not how Angelina was looking at Jennifer last night.

Well the Angelina Jolie / Jennifer Aniston catfight didn't happen last night.
Not that the Oscar producers didn't try to play up on it.
Jennifer and Jack Black (Angelina's "co-star" in Kung Fu Panda) introduced a segment and Jennifer looked nervous, and they kept cutting to Angelina's face.
Angelina was either smiling gracefully of laughing at Jennifer's nervousness. It's gonna depend on who you ask.
But even though Angelina and Jennifer didn't get into a knock down drag out brawl, Brad and Angelina did snub Ryan Seacrest again!
What has he done to them?
Do they hate E! that much?
Or Ryan?
Or is starting to turn into a running gag?

It was a disappointing night for Brangelina fan's everywhere.
Not only was there no brawl, but the Brad Pitt movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" only won awards for Best Makeup, Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects.
Okay I say "only"...heck, that's three more than I've ever won!
And Angelina's movie "Changeling" was totally Oscar free.
Even "Kung Fu Panda" lost.

Oh well, there's always next year.

Angelina Jolie versus Jennifer Aniston

2009-02-20T12:24:00.000-05:00

If Angelina shows up at the door like this...hunt cover!

Okay, if Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston are at peace, then why does the media keep playing up their inevitable meeting at the Night Before the Oscars Party in Beverly Hills like a Boxing event or a WWE Heavyweight match?
“(Jennifer) has never been more ready to see her nemesis in the flesh . . . It’s important for Jen to feel she can stack up to Angelina with her dress, her hair, and her date (John Mayer),” a source told OK! Magazine. “And now couldn’t be better timing.”
http://news.bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view.bg?articleid=1153366&srvc=home&position=also

"See her nemesis in the flesh"?
"feel she can stack up to Angelina"?

Now you know good and well they will see each other and probably hug.
Or at least shake hands.
Maybe nod.
But there wont be a room clearing catfight (no matter how much the media wants it).
But mark my words, when they do meet, pictures will be taken and those pictures will be analyzed for any facial "tells" from either one.
Well probably analyzed, unless Angelina gives Jen that look she gave Anne Hathaway at the Golden Globes.
Or ignores her like she did Ryan Seacrest that same night.

Hmmmm...you know this might be good after all.
If when they meet you suddenly hear Michael Buffer over the PA system...duck!

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston at Peace?

2009-02-15T11:16:00.000-05:00

So is the tabloid war with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston finally over?
Last week Brad Pitt took the twins to visit Jennifer with Angelina's blessing.
It's also rumored that Brad's mother Jane went with Brad to see his ex-wife.
The visit was allegedly to smooth things out before they all crossed paths at the Oscars.

Of course Brad will be there because of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" which is nominated for Best Picture, and Brad is nominated for Best Actor.
And Angelina is nominated for best actress in "Changeling". And "Kung Fu Panda" is nominated for Best Animated Film (Angelina did the voice of Master Tigress).

Angelina Look Alikes?

2009-02-08T15:05:00.004-05:00

So what is up with the sudden surge in Angelina Jolie look alikes?

Of course we've seen and heard the "Megan Fox is the next Angelina Jolie" thing.

But now Esha Gupta, a 22-year-old Delhi model is being touted as an Angelina look a like by Bollywood.

And perhaps even stranger is the media jumping all over Nadya Suleman, the mother of six who gave birth to octuplets last month, saying she bares a remarkable resemblance to Angelina.
Of course Nadya's connection goes deeper than Esha and Megan.
Numerous children, dysfunctional childhood, dark cascading hair, thick full lips, numerous children (hey, she's got 14 kids, I can say it twice).

Angelina and Brad Are Everywhere

2009-02-03T11:34:00.000-05:00

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are busy running about and promoting Brad's new movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'.
They were in Germany recently where Brad's partying seemed to have annoyed Angelina who was basically along for the ride.

Of course since they are overseas, this makes them no-show nominees at the Oscars luncheon, which is kinda bad because not only is Brad nominated, but so is Angelina for lead actress in "Changeling".
But that's okay, big stars like Meryl Streep, and Philip Seymour Hoffman were no shows too.

And since Sarah Palin has gone back to Alaska, SNL needs a new target, and recently on the show they did a spoof of Angelina as a "serial adopter".

And finally "Kung Fu Panda" dominated the Annie Awards with 11 awards. That beat Pixar's "Ratatouille"'s run last year.

Angelina for Evil Step-Sister?

2009-01-29T13:18:00.002-05:00

Could Angelina play evil?

I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but something occurred to me.....
It's pretty much a done deal that Angelina is not gonna be in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie.
And the blog world is beating down the doors wanting Megan Fox to take on the role.
But what about this.......

I posted in my Lindsay Lohan Blog about Lindsay, Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus all being considered for roles in the upcoming "The Stepsister Scheme" movie.
Okay, if they get all of them, what about Angelina Jolie as the evil stepsister, Charlotte?
C'mon, that's gold right there!
Angelina gets to chew up the scenery as an over the top bad guy?
Too old?
That's what make up is for!

Tomb Raider: Angelina Jolie versus Megan Fox?

2009-01-26T13:41:00.004-05:00

Wow....I wonder how Angelina's taking this?
Back when Megan Fox first came onto the scene, I heard people referring to her as the next Angelina Jolie.
Now there are rumors floating around that the Lara Croft:Tomb Raider franchise might be revived and that Megan Fox may play the role of the video game hero.
Of course the two previous Tomb raider movies were panned by critics, but they made a lot of money.
The first one grossed $300 million worldwide.
Are we ready for a Angelina Jolie/Megan Fox tabloid war?
And if Angelina focuses her attention on Megan, what's going to become of Jennifer Aniston?
But what if Angelina takes Megan under her wing?
What will the tabloids do then?

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and the Golden Globes

2009-01-13T12:11:00.001-05:00

The Golden Globes were full of Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt drama.
First, Brangelina dissed Ryan Seacrest.
Yeah, it's not a rumor, they did it.
You can see the video on YouTube where it happened.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=macYSPOl3dM

Then Kate Winslet forgets Angelina's name during her acceptance speech.
"I'm so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin - and who's the other one? Angelina. Now forgive me, is this really happening?"
Hey, she was stunned, give her a break.

Lastly, when Anne Hathaway won her award for Best Actress, the camera caught Angelina giving her some kind of laser death stare.
Okay, to be fair, some people say Anne was gushing like a teenager and deserved a real death ray, but hey, that's personal opinion.

Now if something bad happens to Anne Hathaway in the next few weeks I'm gonna do an entry on how Angelina has some kind of dark, evil super powers!

Is Angelina Jolie Even in "Salt"?

2009-01-06T12:12:00.001-05:00

You know I read awhile back that Angelina Jolie had pulled out of the movie "Salt".
But I guess like most of the Hollywood rumors, that wasn't true.
It's kind of funny because neither Wikipedia nor IMDb show "Salt" listed for her.
IMDb shows "The Mercenary: Love and Honor" as her next project along with the rumored "Atlas Shrugged".
But evidently she is involved in "Salt" because....

Angelina Jolie Shakes Up 'Salt'
Angelia Jolie has taken over Tom Cruise's role in the spy thriller Edwin A. Salt, and now she's allegedly running roughshod over the Phillip Noyce-directed film.
Jolie has reportedly gotten the name of the flick changed to reflect the new gender of her character not once but twice.
Edwin A. Salt has become Edwina A. Salt has become Evelyn A. Salt. Good choice! Angelina can't play an Edwina! Too derivative of the masculine.
http://www.celebuzz.com/angelina-jolie-shakes-up-salt-s75361/

From looking around the web, "Salt" looks like the "Black Triangle" of movies. All you get is bits of conflicting info.
I guess as always we just have to wait and see.

Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt Pre Nuptial and Angelina in the Bible?

2008-12-23T15:15:00.000-05:00

It seems like every week we have a new Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt rumor.
The one this week that keeps getting smashed is the $200 million pre-nuptial agreement rumor.
The story was that Angelina had a pre-nuptial agreement drawn up to be signed before she married Brad Pitt.
But one of Angelina's reps has stated that "There is no truth to any of these claims."
Okay, is that the pre-nup claim or the wedding claim?
Brad Pitt has stated he was not going to get married until it was legal for everyone to get married. But that if he and Angelina felt it was important for the children, that they might do it anyway.
And Angelina has said that it might be easier to adopt were they husband and wife.

By the way, Angelina is in the new "Bible Illuminated: The Book - New Testament".
That's right, the Bible.
She appears in a section with Bono, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Ghandi, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama and Princess Diana, implying they all are messengers of God.
It's all a little too mind boggling for me, so here's the link to the article if you want to check it out.

Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

2008-12-16T13:30:00.001-05:00

I think hardly a week goes by that you don't see Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's names linked on a supermarket tabloid.
Jennifer is usually portrayed as the "innocent" party, but now is that tide changing?

Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, And Angelina Jolie Are Caught In The Triangle
Jennifer Aniston has entered 'The Triangle' and doesn't look she realizes her ship may just go down over troubled waters. For years, Aniston has maintained a relatively squeaky clean image with the public, but lately it seems as if people are starting to catch on to her act.
http://www.timesoftheinternet.com/29200.html

And their rivalry does only go for Brad, but magazine covers as well.

Angelina Jolie Vs Jennifer Aniston: Magazine Cover Face-Off!
Brad Pitt is not the only thing Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have been feuding over - the pair have also gone head-to-head over the years as rival covers girls.

Of course Jennifer plans her PR excursions, all stars do, but this seems to be a little weird. Is the facade really cracking?

Jennifer Aniston worried about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston was so worried about Brad Pitt toting Angelina Jolie around on the promo circuit, she had her agent fix her up with a Plan B boyfriend, say reports.

Brad Still Worried About Angelina?

2008-12-04T13:10:00.001-05:00

Now I'm starting to understand why the worlds view of the US is so messed up.
It doesn't have anything to do with the American government.
When the China Daily quotes the National Enquirer as a news source, we're all in trouble.

Pitt fears Jolie will 'crash and burn'
Brad Pitt is reportedly concerned for his partner Angelina Jolie's health and fears that she will 'crash and burn' due to stress.
According to the National Enquirer, Pitt is worried that Jolie is heading for 'a complete meltdown' after she broke down in tears at a recent press conference in London.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2008-12/04/content_7271368.htm

Although in this case, The National Enquirer isn't alone. We've heard for months that Brad is worried about Angelina's mental well being and health.
But is he really?
I mean it may be well founded, I've said before that she does seem to be spreading herself thin.
(Okay, that's not a skinny joke)
But short of Brad calling a press conference (which I don't see happening) how will we ever know what he really thinks?

Angelina Jolie Denies Pregnancy

2008-11-27T15:26:00.000-05:00

I think almost every tabloid at the supermarket now has "Angelina Jolie Pregnant!" splattered across the front.
Except Weekly World News which is probably "Angelina Jolie Pregnant With Alien Baby!"
As I mentioned before, I really think I could just make up celebrity news and no one would notice the difference.

Jolie Denies Pregnancy as Rumors Increase
Angelina Jolie has been forced to deny she is pregnant again following tabloid reports suggesting the actress is expecting her fourth biological child with Brad Pitt.
Speculation surrounding a reported pregnancy has dogged the Hollywood supercouple in recent months, rumors that were denied by the Oscar winner's publicist earlier this month.

Angelina Jolie Gets Choked Up Remembering Mom

2008-11-20T12:38:00.001-05:00

Say what you will about Angelina Jolie, the lady is compassionate.
Her work with the UN, her adoptions, and her feelings toward her mother.
Taking on a role like she did in the Changeling had to be hard on her, and it was.....

Angelina Jolie Gets Choked Up Remembering Mom
The almost always completely composed Angelina Jolie recently became overcome with emotion during a press interview for her new film “Changeling.” “Changeling” tells the true story of Christine Collins, a woman whose son was kidnapped, and who was then given a different boy by the corrupt LA police department. Angelina Jolie explained that she drew inspiration for playing the role of Collins from her own mother, whom she was extremely close to and who died early last year from cancer

Angelina Jolie to quit acting?

2008-11-13T11:46:00.001-05:00

I asked in the last entry how Angelina was supposed to keep up with all the kids, plus maintain her acting career.
I guess this news article I found explains that.
It seems Angelina has already planned all that out.

Angelina Jolie plans to quit acting
Angelina Jolie has revealed plans to bow out of acting to concentrate on raising her family.
The 33-year-old star has a brood of six children with Brad Pitt, including four-month-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, a daughter named Shiloh and adopted siblings Maddox, Zahara and Pax.
She was interviewed by the BBC while promoting her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.
Asked in the interview whether she thought the possibility of her looks fading could affect a lengthy career, Jolie said: "I don't think about it much because I don't plan to keep acting very long."
Laughing, she continued: "I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. So I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity and be a successful actress forever.

Angelina Jolie, 'I'll definitely have more kids'

2008-11-11T13:15:00.000-05:00

I understand that Angelina loves children and that she is trying to make a better life for them.
But I just wonder how far this lady is stretching herself. I mean she has six kids now, and a movie career.
I mean this year she has had Kung Fu Panda, Wanted and Changeling come out.
And now she says she wants more children?

'I'll definitely have more kids'
Angelina Jolie, who loves running after her six children, has revealed that she will ‘definitely’ have more kids.
The Academy Award-winner said that both she and beau Brad Pitt teamed up to help each other out with the kids and wouldn’t mind chasing some more in the house, reports China Daily.
The Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency told 'Access Hollywood' at the “Kung Fu Panda” DVD release party at the Mann Chinese Theater in Los Angeles that she had a ‘great partner.

Angelina Jolie's Nintendo Wii workout

Okay, now everybody can quit wondering!
Angelina lost all that weight from childbirth by doing.....Nintendo Wii???
Ummm....okay...I can see the commercial now....

Angelina Jolie's Nintendo workout
Angelina Jolie has been using her children's video games to lose weight.
The 33-year-old actress - who raises six kids with partner Brad Pitt - has been burning off her post-pregnancy pounds with a Nintendo Wii console, which requires players to use their body to control their games' characters.
A source said: "Angelina's kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun. They explained to her you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise."
Wanted star Angelina - who gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline in July - is said to be particularly taken with the 'Let's Pilates!' game.
The source added to America's OK! magazine: "She tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week. She's picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!"

Angelina Jolie, 'Changeling'

2008-10-27T12:51:00.002-04:00

Angelina Jolie's new movie 'Changeling' seems to be getting a lot better reviews than 'Wanted' did.
'Changeling' directed by Clint Eastwood, is a thriller set in the late 1920s in Los Angeles. It's based on the true story of a woman who recognizes that the boy returned to her after a kidnapping is not her son.
You can see more about the movie here:

Good reviews for Angelina Jolie in 'Changeling'
by Tom O'Neil
While there were enough naysayers to drag the overall Meta Critic score for "Changeling" down to 65, reviews from the likes of nationally known critics Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times ), Kenneth Turan (Los Angeles Times) and David Ansen (Newsweek) were positively glowing. All of them praised the performance of the Academy Award winning Angelina Jolie as the real-life heroine who battled the L.A. police in 1930 by refusing to accept a mysterious boy as her missing son. And they lauded the direction by four-time Oscar winner Clint Eastwood.

Mack's review of "The Changeling"
by David Eddie
At least in The Changeling, it's a woman looking after the kid-- and not just a woman, it's Angelina Jolie, ladies and gentlemen!-- but it's the 1920s, and things were different back then, so it's not really her fault. She's a single working mom, she works as some sort of telephone operator supervisor, who for some reason roller skates around the office (and that was a scariest part of the movie, watching balloon-lipped stick-insect Angelina Jolie rollerskate around and thinking: "Oh, my God, Angelina, I hope you don't fall, your anorexic bones will crumble like Ryvita!").

Is Brad Pitt worried about Angelina Jolie?

2008-10-21T11:55:00.001-04:00

More Hollywood Rumor Grinding.
If you get pregnant and keep the weight, everyone says you're fat and they take thousands of pictures of you with the "SHOCKING!" caption.
If you loose the weight, something is wrong with you.

Is Brad Pitt worried for Angelina Jolie?
Any new dad worries for his partner after the birth of a child. Being a celebrity doesn't change a thing.
It doesn't matter if you've just given birth to your first, third or fifth child...things change each time.
Rumor has it that Brad Pitt might be worried for Angelina Jolie as she has dropped her pregnancy weight a lot quicker than expected.
Everyone knows the pressure celebrities are under to look hot at all times.
Many Angelina fans are hoping that Angelina wasn't too worried as she always looks beautiful.
An insider told In Touch Weekly: "She's been eating three to four tiny meals and working out for an hour or more every day."
Family physician Dr. Walt Larimore added: "If someone is taking in fewer calories, their nutrition level is dangerously low.
"She'll have vitamin and mineral deficiencies."

Angelina Jolie has bought her seven-year-old son a knife

I can't wait to hear the outcry that this will probably start........

Angelina Jolie has bought her seven-year-old son a knife.

The actress, who adopted son Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, wants him to learn how to defend himself and understand the responsibilities of carrying a weapon.
She said in an interview with W magazine:
"My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12. And I have already bought Maddox some things. "We take him to a special shop.
We also talk about samurais and the idea about defending someone as good. We talk about everything. "I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to it. I suddenly wanted to."

Jolie replaced Tom Cruise as the lead in the Phillip Noyce-directed project, which would have required the script to be retooled to accommodate the gender change for the main character -- a CIA agent accused of being a Russian defector. The title would also have to be changed.

Isn't Angelina Jolie the purrfect Catwoman? There were reports earlier this month that Brad Pitt's sexy wife Angelina Jolie was all set for the role. But the role has now been reportedly offered to Cher. Wait Cher? That's the 62-year old singer in actress in a Catwoman suit. If the film pans out as reported by the UK Telegraph it will be a who's who with all sorts of A-List actor's names.
The paper reports that a wish list for the next "Dark Knight" installment would include Johnny Depp and Cher (no Angelina Jolie mentioned in the latest report though she still seems like the perfect fit) and they would be the exact opposite of the earlier actresses that have plays Catwoman.

Angelina Jolie attacked for not supporting Barack Obama

If you're a Hollywood actor and you don't endorse Barack Obama you’d better watch out for the American comedienne Roseanne Barr. She has launched a stream of invective against Angelina Jolie for not pledging her support to the Democratic nominee.

Jolie recently said - rather pompously - that she was waiting to see the commitments Obama intends making "on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world". But this cut no ice with Barr. "Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture [a reference to two of Jolie’s three adopted children] had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican Party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?

Angelina Jolie 'to take on Cruise action role'

Angelina Jolie 'to take on Cruise action role':

"Angelina Jolie is reported to be set to take on an action role originally thought to be going to Tom Cruise.

Several male actors were interested in the Edward A. Salt CIA drama but since Cruise dropped out it looks like the lead role will now go to a woman.

Hollywood paper Variety reports that the script will be redrafted to accommodate a female lead after Jolie expressed her interest.

Edward A. Salt will also now have to undergo a title change."

Angelina Jolie's Career begins to take off.....

2008-07-11T12:51:00.000-04:00

Angelina's career prospects began to improve after her performance as Cornelia Wallace in the 1997 biopic George Wallace for which she won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy. The film was highly praised by critics and, among other awards, received the Golden Globe for Best Miniseries/Motion Picture made for TV. She played the second wife of the segregationist Governor of Alabama who was shot and paralyzed while running for President. The film starred Gary Sinise and was directed by John Frankenheimer.

In 1998, Jolie starred in HBO's Gia as supermodel Gia Carangi. The film depicted a world of sex, drugs and emotional drama, and chronicled the destruction of Carangi's life and career as a result of her drug addiction, and her decline and death from AIDS. Vanessa Vance from Reel.com noted, "Angelina Jolie gained wide recognition for her role as the titular Gia, and it's easy to see why. Jolie is fierce in her portrayal — filling the part with nerve, charm, and desperation — and her role in this film is quite possibly the most beautiful train wreck ever filmed." For the second consecutive year, Angelina won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy. She also won her first Screen Actors Guild Award. In accordance with Lee Strasberg's method acting Jolie reportedly preferred to stay in character in between scenes during many of her early films, and as a result had gained a reputation for being difficult to deal with. While shooting Gia, she told her then-husband Jonny Lee Miller that she wouldn't be able to phone him. "I'd tell him: 'I'm alone; I'm dying; I'm gay; I'm not going to see you for weeks."

Following Gia, Jolie moved to New York and stopped acting for a short period of time, because she felt that she had "nothing else to give". She enrolled at New York University to study filmmaking and attended writing classes. She described it as "just good for me to collect myself" on Inside the Actors Studio.

Angelina appeared as Gina Malacici in the 1996 comedy Love Is All There Is, a modern-day adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set among two rival Italian family restaurant owners in the Bronx, New York. In the road movie Mojave Moon she was a youngster, named Eleanor Rigby, who falls for Danny Aiello, while he takes a shine to her mother, Anne Archer. In 1996, she also played Margret "Legs" Sadovsky, one of five teenage girls who form an unlikely bond in the film Foxfire after they beat up a teacher who has sexually harassed them. The Los Angeles Times wrote about Jolie's performance, "It took a lot of hogwash to develop this character, but Jolie, Jon Voight's knockout daughter, has the presence to overcome the stereotype. Though the story is narrated by Maddy, Legs is the subject and the catalyst."

In 1997, Jolie starred with David Duchovny in the thriller Playing God, a film portraying a surgeon who is stripped of his medical license and is lured deep into the criminal world where he meets Jolie’s character, Claire. The movie was not received well by critics and Roger Ebert noted that "Angelina Jolie finds a certain warmth in a kind of role that is usually hard and aggressive; she seems too nice to be a criminal's girlfriend, and maybe she is." She then appeared in the TV movie True Women, a historical romantic drama set in the West, and based on the book by Janice Woods Windle. That year she also played a stripper in the Rolling Stones music video for the song "Anybody Seen My Baby?"

Angelina Jolie - First Films

2008-06-27T11:36:00.007-04:00

At the age of 14, Angelina Jolie started working as a fashion model.
Finesse Model Management signed her and she modeled in both the United States and Europe, working mainly in Los Angeles, New York and London.
During that time, she also appeared in several music videos, including those of Meat Loaf ("Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through"), Antonello Venditti ("Alta Marea"), Lenny Kravitz ("Stand by My Woman"), and The Lemonheads ("It's About Time").
At the age of 16, Jolie returned to theatre.
She began to learn from her father, as she noticed his method of observing people to become like them.
Their relationship during this time was less strained, with Angelina realizing that they were both "drama queens".

While her brother attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Angelina appeared in five of his student films. But her professional movie career really began in 1993, when she played her first leading role in the low budget film Cyborg 2, as Casella "Cash" Reese, a near-human robot, designed to seduce her way into a rival manufacturer's headquarters and then self-detonate. She starred as Kate "Acid Burn" Libby in her first Hollywood picture, Hackers (1995), where she met her first husband Jonny Lee Miller.
The New York Times wrote, "Kate (Angelina Jolie) stands out. That's because she scowls even more sourly than her co-stars and is that rare female hacker who sits intently at her keyboard in a see-through top. Despite her sullen posturing, which is all this role requires, Ms. Jolie has the sweetly cherubic looks of her father, Jon Voight."
The movie failed to make a profit at the box-office, but developed a cult following after its video release.

Angelina and Jon Voight

Jolie has been long estranged from her father, though a reconciliation was attempted, and he appeared with her in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. In July 2002, Jolie filed a request to legally change her name to "Angelina Jolie", dropping Voight as her surname; the name change was made official on September 12, 2002. In August of the same year, Jon Voight claimed that his daughter had "serious emotional problems" on Access Hollywood. Jolie later indicated that she no longer wished to pursue a relationship with her father, and said, "My father and I don't speak. I don't hold any anger toward him. I don't believe that somebody's family becomes their blood. Because my son's adopted, and families are earned." She stated that she did not want to publicize her reasons for her estrangement from her father, but because she had adopted her son, she did not think it was healthy for her to associate with Voight.
