If Angelina Jolie can wear a $26 evening gown, why can’t you?

When Angelina Jolie took to the red carpet earlier this month for the premiere of A Mighty Heart dressed in a black velvet dress that was subsequently revealed to have cost a big fat $26, women all over America found themselves wondering: Could I also get away with wearing a super-cheap dress to the fancy affairs I so resent wasting my hard-earned money on? Is there really a way I can avoid overspending for a silly frock I’ll wear only once?

Angelina Jolie is to bed Pierce Brosnan in her new film.

The stunning actress - who has a family with Brad Pitt - will star with the former Bond actor in the sequel to ‘The Thomas Crown Affair.’

In ‘The Topkapi Affair,’ Angelina and Pierce are set to get hot and steamy together in a number of racy sex scenes.

A source is quoted by Britain’s The Sun newspaper as saying, “Pierce is keen to turn the ‘Thomas Crown’ films into a long-running series of movies. He believes the Crown character has the potential to have the same appeal as Bond, especially with a beautiful leading lady like Angelina.”

Shooting on the movie will start in Egypt and Russia next year, after Angelina finishes filming ‘Wanted.’

Pierce, 54, is currently getting ready to start shooting the big screen version of hit musical ‘Mamma Mia!’ - based on the songs of Swedish pop group ABBA.

You have to give Angelina Jolie some credit. Only she can take a decent film, give a decent performance, but have a film completely bomb because her name is associated with it. This past weekend, A Mighty Heart came in 10th at the box office, making less than $4 million dollars. Looks like A Mighty Heart has joined the ranks of such classics as Howard the Duck, Glitter, Gigli, and Ishtar. How can this happen? Isn’t Angelina Jolie supposed to be the new age Mother Teresa?

The most offensive part about Angelina Jolie’s casting in this film is the fact that Angelina Jolie was put in blackface to play the role (although it has been stated that Mariane Pearl did approve Jolie for the role). Still, Mariane Pearl is part Black. Couldn’t the producers find someone who was biracial to play the role? Where was Halle Berry? What about a Hispanic actress whose skin tone probably matches Mariane Pearl’s the most? I thought Hollywood stood for liberal ideas. Casting Angelina to play a woman who is part African completely brings us back to the 1950s.

NEW YORK, NY (June 21, 2007) — Angelina Jolie talked about her continued efforts as a humanitarian and activist, and discovering her first adopted child, in a candid interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN last night.

Jolie’s dedication to humanitarian efforts has been staggering. She has campaigned for relief in the troubled regions of Cambodia, Darfur, Sri Lanka and many others; personally visiting the poverty-stricken locales and refugee camps. It was in Cambodia that she discovered a toddler, Maddox, who would become her first adopted child.

With all the tabloid headlines, her international baby-adopting jaunts and some awful films, Angelina Jolie’s acting skills have been overshadowed.

In the powerful based-on-true events “A Mighty Heart,” the Oscar-winning actress proves that — at least when she’s giving the right material — she’s a remarkable talent.

How good is Jolie in “A Mighty Heart”? A few minutes into the film, you get sucked into the story and forget you’re watching the star, not an easy accomplishment with all the baggage Jolie brings to the screen.

Angelina Jolie says the whole world feels like her “family.”

The actress feels a connection to people “around the world” and this sparked her decision to adopt three children.

When Angelina was asked if seeing displaced families in refugee camps inspired her to adopt, she said, “It might be part of the reason my kids are from some of those countries, and were on their own. I feel very close to children or people around the world and when I met my kids, they were, to me, extraordinary - and felt just like family. And that’s how I feel about the world and other people’s kids.”

HOLLYWOOD - Angelina Jolie was left floored by Brad Pitt soon after they first met, because she thought he’d be nothing more than a good guy she could race motorbikes with on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The actress quickly fell in love with the Hollywood hunk, who was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, and she admits she still can’t believe he is “more man than any man” she’s ever met.

She tells style magazine Marie Claire, “I wouldn’t have, from a distance, said, ‘That’s a man who would be an amazing, dedicated father,’ or, ‘That’s a man who truly loves helping people or whom I’d love to talk politics with.’

“He’s a lot more than people assume he is.”

Jolie credits her partner for helping her overcome periodical dark moments in her life–just by listening to her.

She adds, “I’ve had that problem in my life, where if I get emotional, I tend to just go (and) sit by myself. But he is a great listener, and he has given me wonderful advice.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The filmmakers behind the Daniel Pearl drama “A Mighty Heart” wanted to honour the slain journalist by doing what he did best - tell the straight story, unadorned by opinion, ideology or bias.

Starring Angelina Jolie as Pearl’s widow, “A Mighty Heart” unfolds in docudrama style, its just-the-facts approach putting viewers in the midst of the anguish, hope and heartache that family, friends, and colleagues underwent in the weeks after his kidnapping in Pakistan in January 2002.
