Throughout the years, it became clear that Ann Curry was a full-fledged Brangeloonie. A Brangeloonie recognizes the lunacy in others, and I have to admit, Ann never really hid her Brangeloonie-status. To give Ann some credit, I think Angelina Jolie chose to give Ann many exclusives because Ann was known to be a sympathetic (and easy) interview. Angelina must have talked Ann up to Brad Pitt, because Brad began giving exclusives to Ann Curry for a while too ? until Ann began fondling him during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago, after which, I don?t think Brad ever sat down with Ann again. Still, Angelina and Ann were still friendly, and now Radar claims that Angelina has (privately) declared her allegiance to Ann Curry, and Jolie says she?ll never give an interview to NBC again if it?s not with Ann.
In the days after Ann Curry was sacked from her co-host gig on the TODAY show, Angelina Jolie reached out to the veteran journalist and told her if NBC wanted an interview with her, or fiance Brad Pitt, it would be conducted by Curry, and definitely not any of the current cast of the embattled morning news program, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
“Angelina reached out to Ann Curry after she was fired from her gig on the TODAY show and was very clear, if ANY news program from NBC wants an interview with her, or Brad, Ann will be the only one to do it,” a source close to the situation tells us.
“Angelina has tremendous respect for Ann because of the work she has done on bringing awareness to Darfur. Ann has developed a professional relationship with Angelina and Brad, and they trust her implicitly because of her integrity. Their working relationship has developed into a friendship, and it meant the world to Ann that Angelina had reached out to her. Angelina made it clear to Ann that no one from the current TODAY show cast would get an interview with Angelina or Brad, and with rumors of an upcoming wedding for the couple, NBC will lose any interviews with the actors in the future if Ann isn’t allowed to do it,” the insider added.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Nielsen ratings released Monday indicate ABC’s Good Morning America beat TODAY last week, despite huge momentum for the NBC morning program, which was coming off two dominant ratings weeks with their exclusive coverage from the London Olympics.
GMA beat TODAY by an average of 162,000 viewers, according to the Nielsens, as TODAY only won Monday out of the five-day week. TODAY had squashed GMA during the two weeks of the Olympics by an average of more than 1.5 million viewers a week, but lost all five weeks in the ratings battle prior to the games in London.
Furthermore, Matt Lauer is “hated” by several long-time producers of TODAY and the crew is in turmoil, all as a result of the morning show host having pushed NBC executives to dump Curry as his co-anchor.
“There are several producers that have been with the TODAY show for a very long time, over ten years, and Matt Lauer is now hated by them because they feel that he is responsible for Ann Curry’s being fired. Ann was tremendously popular with the producers, cameramen, and other staffers of the show because she truly is a team player. Ann was all about the news, and breaking stories, just a true pro,” a source previously told us.
“Angelina doesn’t have a publicist, she never has, and she hand picks who she does press with. Angie doesn’t like how Ann has been treated by NBC. Yes, she is a very busy mom of six, and her work as an actress and activist, but she has been very aware of what is going on with her friend. Angelina told Brad he should let Ann interview him for all of his work in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and Brad feels the same way about Ann that Angie does,” the insider says.

I keep hearing that NBC higher-ups and Today Show staffers are having ?buyer?s remorse? with Ann?s replacement, Savannah Guthrie. I don?t think Savannah is actively bad or anything ? she?s bubbly and cute, and she and Matt Lauer flirt with each other on air often. But there is something lacking. Of course, there was something lacking between Lauer and Ann too. Despite all of the stories about how everyone ?misses? Ann now, I really don?t think NBC would ever admit their mistake and ask her to come back. Not even if Angelina Jolie threatens to withhold exclusive interviews. More likely, Angelina will just go somewhere else with little effort ? like, she?ll start to give her exclusives to Anderson Cooper, or Katie Couric at 60 Minutes, or Good Morning America or whatever.

Just like two weekends ago, I kept checking in this past weekend to see if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had finally gotten hitched. The Mail ran an extensive story about what the wedding would look like at their French chateau, and I kept seeing reports about all of the photo agencies sending photographers to the South of France in the hopes of getting some good wedding photos. Alas, it seems like Brad and Angelina weren?t even IN France last week or this past weekend. They weren?t in England either. According to Page Six, Brangelina were vacationing in Greece, and according to a ?source,? Angelina ?laughed off? rumors that their wedding is coming up soon:
While rumors continue to swirl about Brad Pitt?s wedding to Angelina Jolie at their French chateau, the A-list couple were recently spotted in Greece.
We?re told they were seen a week ago at a restaurant in Halkidiki, northern Greece.
A source tells us, ?Angelina was in white, but she laughed and said ?not yet? when the restaurant owner asked if she was getting ready to be married. She also said, ?We love Greece too much to leave . . . we have other islands to go to before heading back to France.?
The source added that Angelina, Brad and their kids were traveling on a super-yacht and had visited islands including Mykonos and hoped to visit Santorini. Guests in the local restaurant were stunned to see them, but were banned from taking photos.
Other stars vacationing in Greece include Robert De Niro and John Travolta, who were seen admiring the Acropolis museum in Athens in early August and relaxing on a yacht. And Tom Hanks was seen taking a swim off the island of Antiparos.

Er? so is Angelina done filming Maleficent? Is Brad Pitt done with his (smaller) role in The Counselor? Is Brad done with the reshoots for World War Z? WHY ARE THEY ON VACATION?! And why Greece? It?s funny, you know ? a few months ago, the tabloids were reporting that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were planning on a secret elopement ? in Greece! And Jennifer is famously part Greek, and she?s vacationed there before. So? was this some Uncool Triangle BS? Or did Brad and Angelina just decide to go on vacation, with no thought to Brad?s ex-wife? Or are they even really in Greece? I have no idea.

Some days, when I have nothing better to do, I sit around and worry about Angelina Jolie?s career. It?s not that my concern for Angelina?s career is of the ?no one wants to work with her? variety, nor is it ever ?Angelina can?t carry a movie.? Both of those arguments are false. No, my concerns about her career revolve around the whole ?Angelina should be working MORE? variety. Her last starring role was The Tourist. In 2010. Maleficent will be her next film chronologically as an actress ? and it doesn?t come out until 2014. Yes, she took time off to chill out with her family and to write and direct In the Land of Blood and Honey? but really, she?s one of the Hollywood?s most in-demand actresses, and she gets to see tons of scripts (GOOD scripts), and it?s a shame she works so rarely.
So? I don?t know if this is good news or not. THR claims that Angelina is going to take a small cameo role in a film called The Great Beauty, directed by Italian auteur Paolo Sorrentino. I wonder if Angelina is playing ?the great beauty??
Paolo Sorrentino, who won two Cannes jury prizes in the last five years and whose last film, This Must Be the Place, was his first project set outside Italy, will return to Rome for his next project, which he says will feature Angelina Jolie in a small role.
Sorrentino is the 42-year-old Neapolitan director behind Il Divo, the film that told the story of Italy?s polarizing political icon Giulio Andreotti, which won the Cannes jury prize in 2008. He followed with This Must Be the Place, which starred Sean Penn as an ageing rocker out to avenge the man who revealed that his father had been a Nazi and won Cannes? Ecumenical Jury prize in 2011.
Two earlier Sorrentino films, Amico di Famiglia (Family Friend) from 2006 and Le Conseguenze dell?amore (The Consequences of Love) from 2004 also screened in competition in Cannes.
Sorrentinto said his next film, La grande bellezza (The Great Beauty), will be set in Rome. The film, which he said will have a cameo role for Jolie, will star Toni Servillo, who will play a La Dolce Vita-style reporter. It is tentatively scheduled for release in 2013, though it is not clear whether it will be finished in time to become Sorrentino’s fifth consecutive film to screen in competition in Cannes.
The film will be Servillo?s third collaboration with Sorrentino: he played a small role in Conseguenze dell?amore and played the central role of Andreotti in Il Divo.

I mean? sure. I don?t have a problem with her doing small parts or cameos in small, European art films (that sound like Fellini knock-offs). I just wish that these little parts came in between more varied and more constant work as an actress. Incidentally ? most people have forgotten that Angelina finally signed on with a Hollywood agent last year. Jolie is now being represented by Ilene Feldman at IFA Talent ? Feldman is Ryan Gosling?s agent. It was said at the time that Angelina was seeking to do smaller films and more varied work, looking to move beyond the big-budget franchise films. But? is this the answer? A big-budget, special-effects-heavy Disney film followed by a cameo in an Italian art-house movie? Eh.

First of all, I appreciate that Angelina Jolie never changes. She loves a sack dress, always and forever. No matter the occasion ? awards season red carpet or just an international flight ? there?s always a sack dress to fit the mood. These are photos of Angelina arriving in Sarajevo on Saturday. She brought Shiloh, Pax and I think Zahara (is that Empress Z behind Jolie?) to Sarajevo from England, where Angelina is filming Maleficent in a series of cow pastures (???). Angelina made the trip with three of her kids ? and no Brad!!! ? because In The Land of Blood and Honey was being screened at the 18th Sarajevo Film Festival, and Angelina was designated a ?special guest?. She was also in town to receive her honorary citizenship!
Lest you think that Angelina merely arrived in her long, black red carpet sack and didn?t bother changing for her appearance at the film festival ? you?re wrong! Angelina did change. You can see the photos of her appearance here. She also flashed her giant engagement ring which? I?m sorry, I still don?t really like. Maybe it?s just the lighting, but the diamonds in her ring consistently photograph as a really weird/ugly yellowish color. Us Weekly reports that during Jolie?s appearance, she spoke with ?young actors, directors, screenwriters, producers and film critics from the region about her own writing and directorial debut.? One of the students said they were ?impressed? and Angelina even fielded questions about her work with the UNHCR. Here’s some footage from the event (her nails look crazy!!!!):
Travel sacks are forever!

Yes, even more photos from the English cow pasture that IS the set of Angelina Jolie?s latest film, Maleficent. How much of this film is going to take place in a cow pasture? How much of Maleficent?s backstory involves doing evil sh-t to cows while wearing a sack-cloak OF DOOM?!? Still, bitch is flying so I shouldn?t have any complaints, right? She?s wearing her sack, she?s got horns, she?s chilling with the cows and she can FLY.
And now another reason to love the Maleficent production ? the twins visit! Knox and Vivienne arrived with their handler/bodyguard/babysitter (?) yesterday and look at how cute they are. So adorable. I think they?re both mini-Brads. I see Brad so strongly in Knox, even though it?s looking more and more like Knox is a ginger. I see Brad in Vivienne too, although I think there?s some Angelina in Vivienne?s face. I?m also amazed by how well-behaved Knox and Viv are. They?re coming up on their fourth birthday next month, and they?re already so mature as to wait patiently, with no drama, for their mother to finish filming. They?re incredibly cute! And I kind of like that Knox has long gingery hair. If he cuts it, you know who he?ll look like? A mini-Fassbender. Keep your eye on Knox, that?s all I?m saying. In about 16 years, that boy is going to AMAZING.
I wonder why poor Fax Cannes Jolie-Pitt never gets to come to the set? They never let that poor child go anywhere.

When I saw this set, it was labeled, “Angelina Jolie has become an evil sorceress,” so I just assumed they were photos of Angelina stealing a husband on the set of her new movie. That or a baby. It ended up being neither. She was just in costume filmingDisney’sMaleficent. Whoops, my bad. Sorry, Jennifer Aniston. Turns out your screams of, “I f**king new it,” were a little premature.

Yesterday, we got to see the first promotional image of Angelina Jolie in character as Maleficent – go here to see. I loved the gorgeous, scary, dark, sinister, beautiful image that they chose, and I think it bodes well for the film. Plus, who doesn?t love to see a woman rocking some horns? With that in mind, here are some brand new photos of Angelina filming in an English countryside today – note all of the cows. Was Maleficent?s first gig as a cattle rancher or something? “Maleficent: Texas Ranger”. So many questions.
CB was surprised by how BIG Angelina?s horns are. Once again, I think it bodes well – Maleficent is known for her elaborate horned headpieces, and it?s cool that they?re sticking so close to the character. As for the rest of the costume? brown sacks!!! Brown capes. Brown cloaks. I told you so. This film is going to be full of sacks and cloaks and capes and MAGNIFICENT HORNS. I wish I could wear horns in my daily life.
Can these paparazzi jags get a decent telephoto lens or what?

As you know, Angelina Jolie turned 37 years old on Monday. I heard some rumors about Angelina possibly traveling for her birthday, something about Egypt maybe? It could be true. It?s possible. But I thought Angelina was hunkered down in England, waiting to start Maleficent any day now. That?s what Us Weekly claims too – they say Angelina spent her special day at the family?s rented mansion in Surrey, and she celebrated with her family:
Angelina Jolie’s 37th birthday bash was anything but a blowout. The understated and intimate affair took place on June 4 at the Jolie-Pitt family’s rented mansion in Surrey, England, a source confirms to Us Weekly exclusively. (The stars are shelling out $24,000 a month to rent the posh Wentworth Estate.)
“It was a very small bash — just the family at home. They didn’t go out or do anything,” according to the source. “Just a simple one at home with a cake. No frills, but they’re all really happy at the moment. Everyone’s doing good.”
No word yet on what Brad Pitt bought his bride-to-be for her special day — but hopefully it’s something extravagant, as Jolie purchased a waterfall for the Moneyball star’s 48th birthday and Christmas presents in December 2011.
Jolie is currently in England prepping for her role in Disney’s Maleficent, based on the villain from Sleeping Beauty. Pitt, meanwhile, will return to Budapest around June 20 to begin two weeks of reshoots for World War Z. While Pitt is away filming, an insider tells Us, “the kids will stay back in the UK with Angelina.”
Given their busy filming schedules, it’s also unlikely that Pitt and Jolie will tie the knot by year’s end. “We actually, really and truly, have no date,” Pitt — father to Maddox, 10, Pax 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3 — revealed at the Cannes Film Festival in May. “We’re still hoping that we can figure out marriage equality in the states before [we exchange vows].”
[From Us Weekly]
I told you The Leg would have some cake. I hope the kids made her eat a piece. I wonder what kind of cake it was? I don?t see Angelina going for the supermarket cakes with icing that comes out of vats. Perhaps a nice pound cake? And what did Brad give her for her birthday? More jewelry?
In other Brangelina news, The Enquirer reports this week that Angelina has ordered a ?truce? with George Clooney – apparently, she?s really worried that if George comes to her wedding, that he?ll play some kind of practical joke. Allegedly, she?s already called George to warn him, and Brad followed up with another ?She?s serious, dog? call too. What kind of a–hole would prank a couple on their wedding?

Earlier this week, Angelina Jolie made a public appearance in London. She?s in England to begin work on Maleficent, which should be starting soon. In the meantime, Angelina decided to use her new position as ?Special Envoy to the High Commission on Refugees? to do a photo op with the UK?s Foreign Secretary William Hague and give a public speech about sexual violence in war zones. You can see photos from her visit to the Foreign Office here, at The Mail. Here are some videos:
This is part of what Angelina said:
“Throughout history, rape and sexual violence have been used as weapons of war, and in modern warfare as, women and girls have become primary targets, the problem has grown tremendously…The wars in Rwanda and Bosnia brought the issue to the world stage, and afterwards the international community took significant steps to end impunity for the worst atrocities and to combat sexual violence in conflict, but although progress has been made, there is so much that needs to be done”
[Via CBS News]
Apparently, this is all part of a new initiative by the Cameron government, working in conjunction with the UN, non-profit charities, human rights campaigns and medical volunteers – the hope is to gather more evidence of human rights crimes to make better legal cases for the trial and conviction of those who use rape and sexual abuse as weapons of warfare. I don?t know if Angelina Jolie has been involved with this for a while and she approached William Hague, or if this is an initiative thought up by the Foreign Office and they asked Angelina to be there. My guess is that this is an initiative Angelina has been involved with for a while, and the Cameron government was recently brought on board. Either way it went down… this woman makes me proud to be a Jolie-stan.

Looking dashing as always, Angelina Jolie was spotted at the screening of her newest film ?In the Land of Blood and Honey? in London, England this afternoon (May 29).
The 36-year-old joined forces with Foreign Secretary William Hague at the Foreign Commonwealth Office to launch a dedicated British team to combat and prevent sexual violence overseas ahead of the film?s screening.
This new initiative was created ahead of Britain?s 2013 presidency campaign and Mr. Hague spoke out saying, ?It is in the context of war and conflict that sexual violence is found to the most appalling degree, and on a scale most of us cannot imagine.?
"Sexual violence is an issue which is central to conflict prevention and to peace building worldwide," he added.
Jolie is a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and has visited countries in need including Iraq, Dafur in Sudan and Libya and her new film is her big directing debut and deals with mass rapes by Bosnian Serb forces.
