She looks magnificent in the promotional images for ?Maleficent,? and it turns out Angelina Jolie got a little boost from legendary fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
The legendary lensmen told WWD, ?We wanted to try something more bold and graphic, sort of unlike the usual movie posters.?
?It was important to us that [Jolie] didn?t come across as [an] ?evil queen,? and that she had a lot of emotion and depth to her character- all the complexities women have.?
Mert and Marcus added, ?She is partly human, partly fairy, part creature. We wanted to respect the original Fifties [Maleficent] animation, but make [the character] edgy.? And in the end they came up with ?a fusion of Angelina and Maleficent.?

When did you get your first boyfriend/girlfriend? My first (real) kiss was when I was 13, but I hesitate to call that dude my boyfriend. But still, I guess that?s the common enough age ? 13/14 is when your hormones kick in and you really start looking at your peers in a different way. Maddox Jolie-Pitt is only 12 years old, but he turns 13 in August. He is the oldest of the Jolie-Pitt children and I?ve always thought that he had and has a special bond with his mom, because it was just the two of them for years before Brad came along. But now Angelina?s little man is growing up? she revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Maddox has a girlfriend!
Angie says the girlfriend is ?great?I won?t embarrass him. She?s lovely. She lives in England. She?s very cool.? She also says that Maddox gets to see his girlfriend often enough because ?We go there as often as possible. It?s really, really sweet. She?s a great lady, so I?m lucky. So far, we?re doing good.? So? Madd has an English girlfriend! Huh. I think it?s a little bit weird that Angie calls her a ?great lady? ? it makes the girlfriend sound like she?s in her 30s or something. But Angelina is probably just trying not to embarrass him. Adorable.

I’m guessing you’ve probably heard by now that Brad Pitt got punched in the face by some idiot “journalist” or something at the Maleficent premiere in LA, considering most media outlets are currently reporting on it like it’s some kind of great national tragedy. Anyway, I’m not sure why the dude did it, but if […]

Angelina Jolie has really been kicking ass during the Maleficent promotional tour, hasn?t she? And we haven?t even had an American premiere yet ? just think about how good it?s going to be in the next few weeks. Anyway, nothing can really compare to Angelina telling Gwyneth Paltrow-esque privileged moms to STFU, but her interview with Good Morning America does have its moments. First, some media-business stuff: I think it?s interesting that Angelina went to GMA with her first morning show interview. She used to give her first interviews to The Today Show and Ann Curry. But Today jettisoned Curry, so now they don?t get her exclusives. It?s interesting, isn?t it?
As for the interview? George Stephanopoulos asks Angelina is she?d ever consider running for public office. What?s interesting is that you can tell that she?s actually considered it at some point, but she says: ?You know, if I thought I’d be effective, I would. But I’m not sure if I would ever be taken seriously in that way, and be able to be effective.? Here?s the

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were in New Orleans this weekend for a fundraiser for Brad?s Make It Right Foundation. I?m including a couple of the photos we do have, and you can see more here. Angelina wore black, of course, and the biggest Louboutin heels I?ve ever seen on her. Anyway, Angelina is still in promotional mode for Maleficent. She gave a lengthy interview to The Daily Mail this weekend, which you can read here. Some highlights:
Casting Vivienne as Prince Aurora: ?It had to be her. Because at one point I look at this kid and say, ?Go away! I hate children.? But the good news is that there?s nothing I could possibly say that wouldn?t make her laugh; I could be mean to her and she still just wanted to hug me.?
The kids won?t pursue acting career: ?No, it?s fun if the kids have cameos but it doesn?t follow that they are going to act. We?re not pushing them; they?ll be what they will be.?
Managing two careers with six kids: ?Brad and I take turns working and we back each other up, so we make sure our children never go without. And we?re able to do that with our careers. When I?m working, he?s picking them up and dropping them off at school. We got stuck on the last movies ? I was directing Unbroken and he was making [Second World War film] Fury, and they overlapped. That?s the first time that has ever happened, which was not fun?
She?s aware of her privilege though: ?I never want other women to feel as though I do so much and it?s all amazing ? it?s not and I don?t. I have a really great partner, who is a great father, and I have a career that allows me to take time off, and my children are allowed to come to my place of work. My children come first and Brad and I pick projects that are a priority because the balance of our home life takes precedence. We sit down and work out the next few years.?
The kids, loving Brad as a father: ?With them I?m a kid again and I?m soft and loving because that?s what they bring to my life. I still get very emotional when I watch Brad play with the children ? he?s so naturally devoted and joyful around them.?
Her double mastectomy: ?I didn?t know how it would be received. But I felt that the important thing was that I wanted to speak to other women. I wanted to speak to other daughters of women like my mother. I wanted other women to be aware of something that they could take on and protect themselves from. I felt that I?d learnt something about my health, and I felt I?d made the right choice for my family and I simply wanted other women to know that there was that choice.?
Tabloid rumors: ?Brad is great. We?re great. All the other stuff, it?s nothing to do with us. We ignore it because it?s nonsense.?
Her new BFF William Hague: ?William Hague is a good guy. I see him when all the cameras are gone and there are no reporters in the room; I see him with victims of rape and speaking on behalf of the citizens of his country. I hear him speak about injustice, and he?s a compassionate, strong man. I?ve spent half my life committed to understanding what is happening in the world and I see that there are people who really dedicate their lives to learning about countries and cultures and to improving things, and they work so hard ? William Hague works so hard. He?s very straight in his approach but he?s emotionally connected, too.?
The feminism of Maleficent: ?I hope the girls, especially, will see the importance of having a sense of what?s fair and what?s worth fighting for. They?ll see that they can be warriors at the same time as being soft and feminine and feeling deeply, with all the complexities that women have.?
[From The Daily Mail]
She talks a lot about loving Maleficent and always being drawn to the darker characters. She also says that she and Brad love nothing more than to have dinner with the family or watch a DVD together. Most of the stuff we?ve heard already in her ELLE interview, but it?s nice that Angelina seems to be in a different place in her life ? I think she really believes in this film, and I think she and Brad are probably better than they?ve ever been.

Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie, out and about in NYC yesterday. The paparazzi rarely bother her, you know? It?s almost like she couldn?t care less that they?re taking her photo. She even made sure they got photos of her whole ensemble, and she waved to them too. Apparently, Angelina was going to a meeting on the Upper East Side. E! News says the meeting lasted three hours and it was with Martin Scorsese. Huh.
As for her ensemble, the pants and blouse are Michael Kors and the bag is Yves Saint Laurent. Her ELLE shoot was exclusively YSL, and she?s been wearing a lot of YSL over the past year, year and a half. Maybe she just loves Hedi Slimane. Maybe she just loves the goth-business realness of the current YSL line. Maybe she has some kind of undercover contract with YSL. I don?t know. I would imagine Michael Kors is really happy to see Angelina in his clothes though. I?m not crazy about the pants (are they high-waters?), but the blouse is fine.
According to E! News, Brad Pitt and Shiloh and definitely in the city too. There are photos of Shiloh and Pax out and about, I’m hoping ZZ and Angelina’s Shadow are also in town. By the way, Brad and Angelina came out for the premiere of The Normal Heart last night – I’ll have those photos later this morning.

Maleficent marks the first time Angelina Jolie has been in front of the camera in four years, since 2010?s The Tourist. I have missed her. Hollywood has missed her. But she hasn?t missed being in front of the camera, like, at all. At the age of 38, Angelina is mostly done with starring in films, at least according to her. While promoting Maleficent in London last week, she told reporters that her acting career is ?going to be taking more of a back seat.?
Angelina Jolie was in London promoting her new film Maleficent, which explores the untold story of Disney’s iconic villain from the classic Sleeping Beauty.
Joined at a press conference by her co-star, Elle Fanning, she revealed that stories play an important everyday role in the Jolie-Pitt household. She explains that she makes up her own tales for her children, and likes to tell them stories every night, often involving them as characters.
She adds that “the side of fairytales I don’t like is that they tend to have these happy endings, or there’s just good and evil and things are perfect. I like to think that when there’s a good story for children it has a good sense of moral tale, and I think that’s what I try to teach my kids, and it’s what we tried to do with this film.”
When asked about where acting fits as a priority alongside being a mother, telling stories, directing and working with the UN, she says, “it’s going to be taking more of a back seat. I’ve had a wonderful career and I’m going to be taking all of the opportunities I’ve had to tell stories and work for as long as I have. I’m sure there’ll be a few more films, but I’m happy I’m able to be selective and have fun with characters like this. I would like to focus more on writing and directing, and above all I would like to focus more on my work with the UN.”
[From The Telegraph]
If this were another actress, I would be rolling my eyes. I actually had to fight the impulse just now, and I LOVE Angie. Angelina gets offered some of the best projects in Hollywood, the lead roles in major, expensive films. She?s turned down so many interesting, award-winning projects in the past five or six years, like Silver Linings Playbook and Gravity. And she?s given that up to write, direct, plus be a mom and a humanitarian? While I admire her choices and the fact that she actually DOES something while most people just talk about it, I still miss seeing her in films, in front of the camera. I wish she wasn?t so ?over it.?

Dear Angelina Jolie: STOP WITH THE SHOULDER PADS. It?s not 1987 anymore!! I actually wonder if she?s doing shoulder pads nowadays as an effort to ?balance out? her reconstructed breasts, which I think we can say? they have not ?settled? yet. They look bigger than the originals, and they?re higher too. I think Angelina is wearing shoulder pads because she doesn?t know how to dress her current upper body. Just a theory.
Anyway, these are photos from the daytime photocall for Maleficent in London today. Angie?s dress has CROWS on them. I think it?s adorable that Elle and Angie are doing clothes with the Maleficent ?theme? ? Elle is usually dressed like a princess of light, Angelina?s been doing the goth thing. But I appreciate that Angelina mixed up a little bit with some crows. Maleficent loves her crow. Or is it a raven? I know I’m going to get yelled at for that, so bring it on. I’ll be damned if I can find the designer IDs on these dresses, but I’ll update if I see them.
Angelina also gave some interviews/statements to the press last night and today in London. When asked about the Nigerian school girls who were abducted weeks ago, Jolie said:
?These men thought that they can get away with this, that they could abuse them in such a way, sell them, rape them, take them as property, because so many people have gotten away with this in the past because of this culture of impunity.”
[Via The Independent]
It?s worth noting that just after the Maleficent event last night, Angelina and Brad went out for a late dinner with UK Foreign Secretary William Hague as well. I would imagine that Hague and Jolie had a lot to talk about ? she?s expected in London next month for a huge event for violence against women.
Angelina also had some good quotes about how Maleficent was always her ?favorite? when she was little and ?I wasn’t into princesses and I thought she was so elegant and so powerful?She scared me a little bit.? She also talks about how she?s constantly worried about her children, so much so that she can?t sleep at night sometimes: ?Of course just anything happening to somebody that I love is my greatest fear. There’s a lot that keeps me up a night, there’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world.?
PS? SHOES. Look at the fake blood!! That?s amazing.

I keep telling you: Angelina Jolie is going to Surprise-Bitch all of us until we see Maleficent. Here are photos of Angelina and Brad at last night?s ?private reception? at Kensington Palace which was some kind of Maleficent screening-plus-fundraiser for the Great Ormond Street Hospital. As you can probably tell, Angelina is still channeling Maleficent in this black Versace gown (and Louboutins).
If I?m being completely honest, I hate this Versace. I?m only giving it a chance because Angelina is wearing it, but if it was anyone else, I would have written this off at first glance. Since it?s Angie, let?s analyze. First off, the dress has built-in shoulder pads. Angelina already has great shoulders ? there is absolutely no reason for her to wear a gown with shoulder pads other than the fact that Angie?s default style comes from the Dynasty era. Secondly, while the beading is fabulous, the sacktastic cut of the dress on the bust is SO unflattering and uneven. It makes her look like not only are her boobs sagging, but one is sagging more than the other. Thirdly? yeah, this just feels like a costume. Like, this is what Maleficent wears to a Totally Eighties party.
As for Brad? he looks good. I want to burn those glasses, but his suit is lovely and I can handle the slicked-back hair. I kind of wonder if he wears Transitions lens like Matt Damon.
Incidentally, in case you were wondering if the tabloids were going to find a way to pit Angelina against George Clooney?s new fiance, ding ding ding, we have a winner! The Enquirer says Angie is ?fed up with all the fuss being made over Amal?Angelina?s worked hard to establish herself as THE celebrity humanitarian, but now that George has Amal on his arm, she feels threatened that she and Brad? can be knocked off their pedestal.? Considering George just cashed in his proverbial humanitarian chips by signing off as a UN goodwill ambassador for peace, methinks Angelina doesn?t have that much to worry about.
By the way, The Wrap says that Maleficent is on course to open with $60 million. Disney is targeting moms and daughters, although I hope they?re not trying to sell it to really little girls (like, under 6). Maleficent opens on May 30th here in America, but the UK gets it on May 28th.

It?s good to parcel out the Angelina Jolie. Maybe we can get a week?s worth of stories from Angelina?s ELLE cover interview. I covered the first excerpt and some photos yesterday ? Angelina talking about her ?misinterpreted? (I would say willfully misinterpreted) early 20s. The Hedi Slimane photos are so badass ? ELLE released a few more, and I think I?m in love with the full-body shot of Angelina laughing. Anyway, as I said, ELLE has released more from the cover story. Here you go:
On what she used to think her life would be like?
?I never thought I?d have children, I never thought I?d be in love, I never thought I?d meet the right person,? Jolie says. ?Having come from a broken home?you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don?t look for them.?
On how her relationship with Pitt has evolved over the past eight years?
?You get together and you?re two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy. After all these years, we have history?and when you have history with somebody, you?re friends in such a very real, deep way that there?s such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together.?
On casting her daughter Vivienne in Maleficent?
For young Aurora, they needed a child who wouldn?t be fazed by the Mistress of All Evil hissing ?I don?t like children? in her face. ?And my little Vivienne?we call her my shadow, because there?s nothing I can do to shake her. I can be tired, I can be grumpy, I can be in a terrible mood, and she doesn?t care. It?s ?Mommy, Mommy,? and she?ll cling to me,? Jolie says. ?We knew that she would still do that thing, she?d still smile at me and insist that I pick her up. So we couldn?t really cast anybody else.?
How she and Pitt feel about the kids getting into show business?
Pax and nine-year-old Zahara (or ZZ, as Jolie calls her) also appear in the film, in cameos in the christening/cussing scene. (No Shiloh, however. ?I asked Shiloh about being Aurora, and she laughed in my face,? Jolie says, with evident pride. ?She said she?d be a horned creature.?) But don?t expect a repeat engagement. ?Brad and I made the decision that we wouldn?t keep them from sets and the fun of making movies, but we wouldn?t [glorify it either]?we wouldn?t make it a good thing or a bad thing. But I would really prefer they do something else,? she says. Anyway, ?after two days of it, Brad and I were so stressed we never wanted to do it again.?
[From ELLE]
This is a full meal of Brangeloonie revelations, isn?t it? First, the p0rn: she and Brad are in love, it?s a fairy tale (although she would never have looked for it), they drive each other crazy, but their love is deep, profound and a love with a shared history. Unf.
Then all of the stuff with the kids? I?m dying!! Zahara is ?ZZ?? Vivienne is My Shadow? Adorable. And Shiloh would never want to be a princess, she would only want to play a horned creature. So much of Shiloh?s ?tude reminds me of Angelina?s youth too. I think Shiloh is going to have some difficult years (the teens and early 20s), but she?ll come out of it very strong, like Angie. And just the idea of Viv clinging to her mom? Brangeloonie Heaven!
