Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie may soon share the screen in new film The Tourist. The Pirates of the Caribbean star is reportedly in negotiations to strike a deal with Graham King’’s GK Films, which will finance and distribute the movie in association with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Depp will presumably play the role of an American tourist who enters the life of a female Interpol agent in search of a criminal who had been her lover. Earlier, Avatar star Sam Worthington was expected to play the lead but had quit over creative differences, reports Variety. Also, director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck had stepped out. Now, Alfonso Cuaron along with others is in contention to replace him. Depp has collaborated with King in The Rum Diary and the Gore Verbinski-directed animated pic Rango in the past. The film is scheduled to start production in February next year.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were invited to make a special visit to the SOS Children’s Village in Amman, Jordan, by Her Majesty Queen Noor. While it was Brad Pitt’s first visit to an SOS Children’s Village, Angelina Jolie was glad to return.
Children and mothers of the SOS Children’s Village in Amman were overjoyed to receive the visit of a very special friend on 1 October: UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie had decided to drop by again, this time in the company of her partner, the actor Brad Pitt. While Ms. Jolie had already visited the village in 2003, committing to covering the running costs of one family house, it was the first time Mr. Pitt had ever been to an SOS Children’s Village.

Having been invited by Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein, who is the Honorary Chairman of SOS Children’s Villages Jordan, the couple stated that they were having a wonderful time in Jordan with their children, and Ms. Jolie went on to say “The SOS model of providing care for children without parental care is one of the best, as they are still in a family setting within their own country. We hope more people learn about their programmes and give them support”. (more…)

On August 20, Angelina and Brad were seen taking Maddox and Pax to the pet and garden shop Jardinerie du Centre Var in Brignoles, France. The Jolie-Pitt family drove a rental car without any security. On August 28, Angelina and Shiloh were caught shopping at a market in Ajaccio, France. The mother-daughter pair was seen talking with locals before hopping into their Mazda car. Thanks to JustJared for these infos!

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has called on the Thai government to grant Myanmar refugees in northern Thailand greater freedom of movement. “I was saddened to meet a 21-year-old woman who was born in a refugee camp, who has never even been out of the camp and is now raising her own child in a camp,” Jolie said after her visit to Ban Mai Nai Soi camp.”With no foreseeable chance that these refugees will soon be able to return to Burma (Myanmar), we must find some way to help them work and become self reliant. I hope we can work with the Thai authorities to speed up the government admissions process and that you will not be forced to go back to Burma if danger remains.” Read the full report at UNHCR.org.
