New photos of Angelina Jolie! Angelina stepped out yesterday in LA for some business meetings, and she was wearing her engagement ring, of course. The photos of the ring aren?t all that great – I don?t know why the paparazzi couldn?t get better-quality images of the ring. Maybe it was because Angelina kept moving? I swear, Angelina and Brad should have just done a photo call for their engagement, like Prince William and Kate Middleton did. Just stand there for ten minutes and let everyone take photos of them (and the ring). But in lieu of a formal photo call, we get this.
I feel like Angelina did this outing on purpose, so more photo agencies would get a chance to get pics of ?Angelina the fiance?. She wore a cotton dress in a flattering grey, those nude wedges that she absolutely loves (which I?m tired of), and she paired her outfit with a $2000 Yves Saint Laurent Chyc Cabas satchel. I?m not in love with the bag (and I?m a purse person too), but I think it suits Angelina and this ensemble. I kind of love that Angelina came out and smiled and she was happy to show off her ring. She?s our American royalty (for better or for worse, people).
As we discussed yesterday, People Magazine has a ?special edition? this week all about Brangelina?s engagement and the ring and everything. People Mag claims the ring is worth about $1 million, while Us Weekly has merely upped the price tag from $250,000 to $500,000. My guess is still on the higher end of the scale, not just because of the quality of the diamonds used, but also because of Brad?s efforts in designing the piece, and you have to figure in ?What would this go for at auction?? As I said yesterday, I?m not crazy about the ring – it?s not my taste. It seems very dated and 1980s to me, but? that?s Angelina?s style. She loves big, chunky, 1970s jewelry, and God knows, she loves 1980s style (including shoulder pads and Dynasty hair). So? I bet she loves her ring.

A glowing Angelina Jolie was all smiles as she stepped out of the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles this afternoon (April 16) showing of her new 16-carat diamond engagement ring.
The ?Changeling? actress sported the same olive colored dress she was spotted in when entering the hotel looking very thin while she waved to cameras looking very thrilled about her engagement to mega-star and longtime beau, Brad Pitt.
Rumors are flying regarding the Jolie-Pitt wedding, which is being compared to the Royal engagement held in 2011. The largest betting company in Europe, Ireland?s Paddy Power, gave Versace 5-2 odds that the 36-year-old actress would choose the designer for her wedding dress.
"There is little doubt that the Brad and Angelina wedding will be the showbiz story of the year," a Paddy spokesman said in an interview with E!. "With both the media and the public already speculating on every element of the wedding, we thought it was only fair that we offered our customers the chance to bet on it."
Other hopefuls include Max Azria, Giorgio Armani, Elie Saab and British brand Amanda Wakeley.
Can?t wait to see who wins!

| | Angelina Jolie's "Maleficent" Gets Release Date | | Added 12 years ago | Source: Celebrity Gossip |

Having revealed plans to take on the project late last month, Angelina Jolie's latest undertaking of "Maleficent" has now been given a release date.
The tale, which is the re-telling of ?Sleeping Beauty? from the perspective of her evil character Maleficent, will be making its way into theaters on March 14, 2014.
With Robert Stromberg set to direct, filming is expected to get underway a few months from now in June.
Of the gig, Miss Jolie previously told press, "It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that?s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you?re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person, but she?s not perfect. She?s far from perfect... In general, it?s a very good message to say, ?let?s look at something from the other side.??
?But then also, what our challenge will be ? and the script writer [Linda Woolverton] has already cracked it ? is not to simplify it, not to just reverse the story but tell a bigger story that doesn?t point the finger [at Princess Aurora] either. It doesn?t flip it," she added.

She made quite the directorial debut with ?In the Land of Blood and Honey,? and Angelina Jolie took every detail very seriously in the film.
The ?Mr. and Mrs. Smith? starlet explained that she originally did the movie, based on a love story against the backdrop of the Bosnian War, in the original language.
However, once that was wrapped, Ang ended up filming an additional version of the flick, this time in English. And both are available on DVD and Blu-ray.
As for future gigs, Jolie has signed on to play the titular role in the upcoming movie ?Maleficent.? "It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that?s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you?re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person, but she?s not perfect. She?s far from perfect... In general, it?s a very good message to say, ?let?s look at something from the other side.??

Angelina Jolie has a massive interview with Entertainment Weekly this week, likely to promote the DVD release of In the Land of Blood and Honey. You can read the full EW piece here – I?ll just be doing some highlights, since the interview is so long (and a lot of it is about ITLOBAH). Some of you theorized that HuffPo got an advanced copy of the interview, and switched around some of Jolie?s quotes for their story about her reaction to The Leg controversy. It could be – Angelina uses some of the same wording, but my reaction to her statement in the context of the EW piece was less eyeroll-y. Basically, she doesn?t sound ridiculously full of herself here.
EW: Wow, so you caused quite a stir at the Oscars. That?s usually a pretty stuffy affair, but you definitely widened people?s eyes.
Angelina Jolie: [Laughs] I don?t pay any attention to that stuff. I just heard something as simple as that and thought, well, I don?t know. I do what I feel like doing, but don?t actually consider the effect. I just try to, you know, be as I feel like being on a night like that.
Fashion websites say that pose is becoming a trend. Other actresses and models, like Jennifer Lawrence at The Hunger Games premiere, are wearing dresses with the high slit and posing with their legs out. So on behalf of guys everywhere, allow me to say, thank you very much.
[Laughs] That?s funny, very funny.
You?ve heard of Tebowing, right? Where people imitate Tim Tebow by getting down on one knee.
Uh-huh, I have.
There are whole websites that popped up where people were striking your pose. That must have caught you by surprise.
What?s funny is when you have no actual, conscious thought of anything [like that]. You just feel like, ?Eh, I like this dress. I feel comfortable in this one.? It?s interesting that you just really never know?
You pulled it off much better than Jim Rash [pictured, the Best Adapted Screenplay winner, who struck her provocative pose onstage after she presented him the Oscar.] Did you find what he did funny?
Of course! [Laughs] No, I had a great night. It was a really fun night.
Just before the Oscars, you came home from the European premieres of In the Land of Blood and Honey. I imagine that must have been pretty emotional. It?s a heavy movie to live with for a couple of years, but you were finally showing it to the people who lived through the Bosnian War.
Yeah, it was more challenging because we knew we?d be going face to face with the region itself. We went to Berlin first, then Sarajevo, then Paris and also Croatia. This whole process has been very nerve-wracking because it?s my first film, and I?m not that confident, but I wanted to do this because I love the subject matter and I wanted to learn. I had these great two years where I learned so much about a region and history and worked with these actors from another part of the world.
Let?s start with how it was received in Paris and Berlin.
It was also difficult for them. They were right next door. So there?s a question of when [the U.S.] got involved, but they were right next door and didn?t get involved. There are a lot of feelings for everybody, deep-seated guilt in all of us. Nobody walks away feeling good about this time in history. [The film] is supposed to make us look back and question what went wrong.
You?ve said you?re writing a script about the war in Afghanistan next. How?s that coming along?
I have been writing something, because I?ve been there a few times ? Afghanistan and Pakistan ? in the last 11 years, and it?s a part of the world we?re all quite aware of now, but? I?m not sure. I?m going to actually see this weekend what people think of [the script]. But I like it and I?ve enjoyed doing the research.
What?s next for you as an actor? You were in talks to do a Luc Besson film?
I do hope to work with Luc one day, but we haven?t figured out what that is. The next thing I?m doing is Maleficent for Disney. I start it in June, and it?s a really great script. I?m having a lot of fun. I?ve already got my horns fitted. My kids are very happy.
In this version, Sleeping Beauty is the nemesis instead of the good guy?
It?s not anti-princess, but it?s the first time they?re looking at this epic woman.
Is it sympathetic to her, or is she a straight-up villain?
It?s both. I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn?t mean she can?t have other [warmer] qualities. You have to figure out the puzzle of what she is.
So there are some redeeming qualities to Maleficent the witch?
It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that?s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you?re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person. But she?s not perfect. She?s far from perfect.
Since it?s a Disney film, will this version of Maleficent be close to the one we know from their 1959 animated film?
We?re still figuring out the look. We?re experimenting with different things. But the horns are the horns ? you can?t deny them. You have to have horns.
[From EW]
OK, that interview actually got me excited about Maleficent! I like that Angelina is embracing the horns – I?ve always wanted Angelina to play a larger-than-life ?cartoon? type of anti-heroine, like a Bond villain or something, and my guess is that she?ll excel at playing Maleficent. Can you believe that she hasn?t been in front of a camera (for a film) since The Tourist? Jolie needs to get to work!
As for the further discussion about The Leg – in this interview, she seems much less defensive, embracing an attitude of ?whatever, I had fun, meh.? Also: she knows about Tebowing?!?

Has it occurred to anyone else that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has the same haircut as Michelle Williams? Because that just occurred to me when I saw that Angelina (or somebody) tamped down Shiloh?s hair so it now looks like Michelle?s pixie cut. Anyway, these are some newish photos – two sets, actually. One set is of Angelina, Shiloh and Zahara leaving their hotel in Amsterdam yesterday, and then the second set is of their arrival at LAX. Note the bears!!!!! The girls got some Dutch bears. Is that a thing in the Netherlands? Bears? I thought that was just a German thing. Basically, these gigantic bears are the new ?gerbils?. Whatever happened to those gerbils of doom, by the way? They were probably signed with CAA and now have a book deal. The gerbils are trying to ?brand? themselves. And now it?s the bears? turn. BEARS OF DOOM.
The Enquirer has a long story this week about Angelina and Brad?s bad parenting style. Basically, they are the Anti-Goop. Remember when Gwyneth – Brad?s ex! – said she?d ?rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a can?? Well, Brad and Angelina would rather feed their kids processed junk food than force them to eat veggies.
Brad and Angelina are way too liberal in giving sweet treats to their kids.
?With their money and resources, you?d think their children would be eating like kings and queens,? an insider told The Enquirer. ?But they pride themselves on giving their kids a simple, normal upbringing – and that includes soft drinks, candy, cookies and everything sugary that children love. Their youngsters are hooked on junk food.?
?Angie and Brad don?t know how to say no to their kids. And with six of them screaming at once, it?s just easier to give in than fight.?
Brad recently admitted, ?There?s times like, ?We gotta get up. Get up! Here?s your shoes. Drink this Coke. Drink it all. Right now!? Just so we could get ?em up and going.?
The insider says: ?Brad and Angie fight over the nutrition issue constantly,? revealed the insider. ?He sometimes cooks up organic vegetable and tofu stir-fries or big salads, but everyone – including Angie – turn their nose up at the healthy stuff. For all their fame and fortune, they face the same dilemmas as any stressed and overwhelmed parents.?
[From The Enquirer, print edition]
Eh. Since I?m not a parent, do I not have the right to chime in? I was raised in a different era, and I was raised in the South by a Southern mother. Sweet tea was a staple of our household, and while I no longer drink it regularly, I do get a hankering for it a couple times a year. There was also a lot of fried food in our house, and a lot of sweets (my mom has a huge sweet tooth). I ended up not having much of a taste for pastries and the like (I love anything salty), probably because I outgrew it by being introduced to it early on. I don?t know, though. I?m not the picture of extreme health today (I?m about average), but I don?t think it?s because of how I was raised. But when you think about what OUR parents? childhoods were like (back when pregnant women were smoking and drinking), I just don?t see how this is some HUGE deal. Should the Jolie-Pitts eat better? Yes. Should the kids eat their veggies? Of course. But it?s not a war crime to give your kids candy.

Fresh off of a long overseas day in the sky, Angelina Jolie touched down in the States with Shiloh and Zahara on Thursday afternoon (March 15).
The 36-year-old actress eased through the crowded terminal at LAX Airport in Los Angeles with her adorable daughters both toting giant stuffed teddy bears.
Having flown in from Amsterdam, Angelina made the trip to Europe to sit in the public gallery at The Hague International Criminal Court as Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga was convicted of kidnapping and forcing children to fight for his rebel army.
Happy to hear the guilty verdict, Jolie told press, "This is their day. Where these children will feel there is no impunity for what happened to them, for what they suffered."

After Angelina Jolie went to The Hague to see the International Criminal Court?s first conviction (of a Ugandan warlord), Angelina decided to lighten her day. She had flown to Amsterdam with her two older daughters, Shiloh and Zahara, so they had a girls? outing on a boat. You know how much the Jolie-Pitt children love boats, right? Remember Venice? Those kids love boats, and they love gelato. Anyway, the paparazzi got lots of photos of Zahara and Shiloh playing around on the boat. The girls were even making faces at the paparazzi, and the photos are just? too cute. They just seem like really happy little girls. Even Angelina was laughing at their antics.
Meanwhile, OK! Magazine is still claiming that Brad and Angelina will have a wedding this year – I guess they don?t realize that Brad?s Oscar campaign is over? Not only will there be a wedding this year, but OK also thinks that Angelina will be giving birth to twin boys in the fall. I?m including a profile photo of Angelina in Amsterdam – does she look pregnant? With twins? As you can imagine, Gossip Cop is calling BS on the story. Why don?t the tabs ever let me write fake Brangelina stories? ?Empress Zahara demands wedding, Angelina and Brad acquiesce!? ?Zahara declares: blue hair ribbons for ALL!? ?Zahara does not approve of Shiloh?s mullet, says her parents cannot marry until Shiloh gets a proper haircut.?

By my two-minute Google research, Angelina Jolie has been in The Netherlands twice before to visit the International Criminal Court in The Hague. In 2009 and 2011, she flew to the Netherlands to watch ongoing war crimes trials. She later told media outlets that she was doing research, and that she wanted to see the ICC in action. And now she?s back at The Hague to watch Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga?s conviction:
Angelina Jolie isn’t one to miss a history-making moment. The actress, director and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, 36, arrived in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on Tuesday with daughters Zahara, 7, and Shiloh, 5, for a lowkey visit that had nothing to do with a splashy film premiere.
Instead, Jolie sat in the public gallery Wednesday morning for the first-ever verdict at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, 10 years after it opened.
After 200 days in court, vicious Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga was finally convicted of kidnapping and recruiting young children — forcing them to become child soldiers to fight for Congolese rebel sources.
“This is their day,” Jolie said in a statement. “Where these children will feel there is no impunity for what happened to them, for what they suffered.”
“Angelina was very low key,” an onlooker at the Hague tells Us Weekly. “She came in almost unnoticed to watch the verdict and left right afterwards.”
The case of 51-year-old Lubanga could set a precedent for Uganda guerilla warlord Joseph Kony, currently the subject of a huge, celeb-supported viral campaign aimed at bringing him to justice.
Over the weekend, Jolie was by love Brad Pitt’s side in New Orleans for his Make It Right Foundation’s huge, star-studded bash.
[From Us Weekly]
So that?s where Angelina, Shiloh and Zahara were headed the other day – Angie took her girls to The Hague! Interesting. Angelina spoke to reporters once again as she left the court:

Gearing up for the busy day ahead, Angelina Jolie was spotted leaving her hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands today (March 14).
The ?Changeling? chick looked a bit camera shy as she slinked through a mob of fans and paparazzi hiding behind her oversized sunglasses.
Ang attended the trial of Thomas Lubanga, who was found guilty of abducting children in the Congo, at the nearby International Criminal Court at The Hague.
After the verdict was read, she told press, "I think, the most important thing is, this is very young court, very new court, this particular case was about the conscription of child soldiers, so many witnesses, over sixty people came in, young people came in, and spoke about what happened to them and because they were unable to have court proceedings in their country, they asked for this, the victims asked for this, the country asked for this."
