Immersing herself in the awards show weekend happenings, Angelina Jolie suited up for The American Cinematheque's 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards Foreign-Language Nominee Event in Los Angeles on Saturday (January 14).
The "Wanted" actress joined directors Pedro Almodovar, Asghar Farhadi, Luc Dardenne and Jean-Pierre Dardenne at the Egyptian while making the appearance on behalf of her directorial debut "In The Land of Blood and Honey".
Miss Jolie recently revealed that she didn't at first plan to spearhead the recently released war-based picture, as she said, "I didn't plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying 'I'm a director'. I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up by default being the director."
She added, "It was a pleasure but I wonder if it would be a pleasure with another cast and crew, and a subject matter that wasn't so special."

While I was sitting around last night, preparing for a Jolie-Pitt-Fassbender extravaganza at the Critics Choice Awards, Angelina was sizing up Fassy?s beast preparing for her LIVE video web chat in which regular people got to ask her questions. I haven?t watched but a few minutes of it, but it seems rather budget and cute. Angelina fielded questions about In the Land of Honey for the most part, and she talked about having a breakdown while directing:
Even Angelina Jolie has her doubts. During a live video web chat with Marie Claire Thursday, the 36-year-old revealed that she had a “complete meltdown” before production began on her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey.
“I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad [Pitt] found me crying,” Jolie revealed. “I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. ‘Who am I to take this on?’”
The mother of six and UN Goodwill Ambassador admitted she’s still somewhat uncomfortable with her sudden career change. “I didn’t plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying I’m a director,” Jolie explained.
“I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up by default being the director,” the Oscar winner said. “It was a pleasure, but I wonder if it would be a pleasure with another cast and crew, and a subject matter that wasn’t so special.”
When talking about the Bosnian War, she said: ?I knew very little, like most Americans. I was 17 so I wasn’t very focused. I was my own form of self-destructive, and it was a bad time? I was a punk… you don’t imagine you could ever be a role model.?
The subject matter, which is close to her heart, has helped her to realize the importance of teaching her children certain values. When asked by a fan what lessons she wished to pass onto her children, the actress said ‘compassion and respect’. She said: ?I want my children to be aware of the world around them and have respect for all people around the world. From the nature of the make-up of my family, they learn a lot about each other. They don?t see this divide which is dangerous.?
Jolie’s film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, is nominated for a Golden Globe. She and Pitt, 48, are scheduled to attend the ceremony together on Sunday.

So? you know what this means for next week?s tabloid covers. BREAKDOWN: Brad finds Angelina distraught. Angie says: ?I won?t leave the shower until you leave Aniston!!!? And of course: Brad Finds Angelina In TEARS. Aniston Drunk Again.
Here?s the part where it seems like Maddox has asked Angelina a question:

As you may remember, in 2009, Us Weekly (and other tabloids) claimed that Angelina Jolie totally hated President Obama. The reasoning was vague, but the gist was that Angelina is more conservative than anyone realizes and she?s a chip off of the ol? block (the ol? block being her crazy father). I bring this up because yesterday, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were invited to the White House, and they accepted. They apparently met Pres. Obama in the Oval Office - you can see some long-distance photos here, shot through the Oval?s windows by photographers on the lawn. Angelina was wearing a black pencil skirt and a black turtleneck, and she looked pleased. Brad was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked hero-worship-y. Brad?s met Obama before – they discussed NOLA back in 2009. This is the first time Obama and Angelina have ever met, though. And apparently, it was a brief meeting – Obama was on his way to Chicago. Oh, here?s video! I like the guy saying, ?Hey, that?s Brad Pitt!?
According to the Associated Press, Brangelina ?dropped by? the White House (for real? I would think they were officially invited, right?) so that Angelina and Pres. Obama could discuss Angelina?s ?work on preventing mass atrocities and combating sexual violence against women.? The night before, Angelina and Brad had done the red carpet for a screening of In the Land of Blood and Honesy at the Holocaust Museum (which, if you?ve never been to, you should really go – it?s a really comprehensive museum). While on the carpet, Angelina got a few questions about Obama and whether or not she hated him. When asked about the report that she hated the president, Angelina said, ?Reported by who? By Us Weekly? You gotta read better papers!?
After Tuesday?s screening, People Magazine reports that Brangelina went out to dinner with some Washington power players, including Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama?s senior advisors. And Angelina even ate some solids! She had roast chicken, which sounds so good to me right now.
Following the Washington, D.C., premiere of her new film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, Angelina Jolie joined partner Brad Pitt for a celebratory dinner at Charlie Palmer Steak.
The couple ? joined by 12 others, including President Obama’s senior advisor Valerie Jarrett ? opted for Palmer’s $35.12 prix fixe Restaurant Week menu, and started with chopped salads of romaine, endive, goat cheese, bacon, cranberry and red wine vinegar. For entres, Pitt chose the coulotte steak with sweet potato pure and braised greens, while Jolie savored the roasted chicken breast with buttered new potatoes and marjoram jus. Pitt, who was recently injured during a fall, indulged in the dark chocolate pav with milk chocolate ice cream for dessert, while Jolie passed on the sweets.
According to an onlooker, the party of 14 stayed at the restaurant for two hours, and was “extremely pleasant and gracious to both fans and the staff.”
[From People]
I suspect that it was Valerie Jarrett who got Angelina and Brad in to meet the president, right? It was less of a ?drop by? and more of an invitation. I don?t know why that?s bugging me so much – I just don?t think Angelina and Brad are so full of themselves that they think they can just ?drop by? the White House unannounced. There has to security clearances and background checks and a White House staffer has to formally escort you wherever you go. Anyway, I’m sure this was only the first meeting in a long line of negotiations in which Pres. Obama will gradually hand over power to Empress Zahara.

In my mind, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had two great public appearances in a row, so they were due a bad showing. While I thought Angelina looked vaguely knocked up in her beige sack in Palm Springs, I also thought her hair, makeup and skin looked amazing. And then she upped her game for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards two nights ago, wearing a great combination of gauzy white and black leather, with her hair and makeup once again looking great. But last night, I feel like Brangelina faltered a bit. Brad and Angie did an appearance at a screening of In the Land of Blood and Honey in Washington, D.C.
Maybe they?re jet-lagged. Maybe they were up all night, boning in our nation?s capital. Maybe it?s just bad lighting. But they both look kind of rough to me. I?m even throwing shade on Angelina?s Michael Kors coat! Usually, Angelina brings the coat pr0n. I think it?s the length and seeming ?stiffness? of the coat that?s throwing me off.
Also – I?ve noticed that a lot of you have been commenting on Brad?s recent squintiness. Considering he?s started wearing glasses in public more often, I?m assuming that his eyes are getting weaker as he ages. And as someone who has worn glasses and contacts for much of her life, let me tell you – when your eyes get used to being supported by glasses or contacts, and you go out without that support, you squint. Part of it is that you?re trying to see. Part of it is that you?re more sensitive to light. Or, you know, he could think that squinting makes him look cool. But I think it?s just that his vision is compromised and he?s still adjusting.

I mentioned the stupid “fashion cane” Brad Pitt was working at the New York Film Critics Awards in the Quickies yesterday, but I feel like I may have unintentionally suggested that he was using the cane simply as a fashion accessory by neglecting to mention that has some sort of toe injury that merits use its use. So, anyway, I don’t take issue with canes in general. What I take issue with is Brad Pitt’s choice of a cane made of hand-carved Gaboon ebony with a resin stopper. It was probably whittled by a tribe of African pygmies and polished with the tears of a twenty virgins, too. Jackass.

It?s always a special occasion for me when I see new photos of Angelina Jolie, seen here with Brad Pitt at last night?s New York Film Critics Circle Awards. But I feel like it?s my birthday and Christmas rolled into one when Angelina rocks some old-school leather. Angelina and leather go together like Michael Fassbender and sweetshops, like chocolate and peanut butter, like chocolate and Fassbender. They are perfectly matched, is what I?m saying. Old-school Angelina used to wear biker gear and too-pale makeup and a druggy demeanor. These days, the druggy demeanor is gone, her makeup has improved, and the leather has gone from ?biker girl? to ?high-fashion?. I like this ensemble so much – it?s Ferragamo! She looks gorgeous. I love being able to see her waist, and she has the figure for pencil skirts. Love the pop of color with the emerald necklace too. DOWN WITH SACKS!!!
Anyway, as I said, Brad and Angelina were at the NYFCC Awards. Brad took home Best Actor for Moneyball and Tree of Life. Congrats to him – I do think he?ll end up with an Oscar nomination this year. But will he end up taking home the award? His competition will likely be George Clooney, Jean Dujardin, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gary Oldman and Michael Fassbender? Who would you pick?
Meanwhile, some new interviews with Angelina are still coming out – these are from Palm Springs, where she and Brad did press over the weekend.
Angelina Jolie is as well known for her work helping refugees around the world as she is for making movies. But she’ll let her kids decide for themselves whether they want to follow in her activist footsteps.
“I’m not one of those moms who kind of lectures [my kids],” Jolie, 36, told reporters on Saturday at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs Film Festival. “But I do tell them, whenever I go on a trip, where I’m going and why. And on some occasions, they’ve come with me to different refugee camps. And they also go to their home countries a lot.”
The actress, who wore an Elie Saab gown to the festival’s awards gala, has faith her little ones will make decisions based on what they see in their day-to-day lives.
“Hopefully they live in the world, and they see the world really as it is, outside of Hollywood,” she says. “If they really live in the world and spend time with friends around the world from all different types of backgrounds, they [will] just see things as they are.”
Even though Jolie doesn’t expect her children to take up the same causes, she does look for opportunities ? such as daughter Zahara’s birthday on Sunday ? to remind them about who they are and where they come from.
“We make sure we’re very aware of her culture and her heritage,” Jolie says of Zahara, who turned 7 on Sunday. “She’s an African-American girl, so we make that a part of anything she does. So that’ll be a part of her [birthday].”
[From People]
Us Weekly reports that Angelina spend Sunday morning shopping for little girl?s clothes in Sherman Oaks too – a source says Jolie “bought really cute girly stuff in bright colors? Little peasant tops, sweaters and tights? she picked out a bunch of stuff and left very quickly. Once people noticed her, everyone was staring and running to see her, so she left with a bodyguard. She had several bags of birthday gifts for her daughter.” Aw? I love Z?s style. It sounds like her mom knows what to buy the Empress too – Z will like her peasant tops and girly stuff. Meanwhile, Shiloh still dresses like an extra from The Sopranos. And Brad and Angelina accept it!

Yesterday was a huge day in Palm Springs! The Palm Springs International Film Festival handed out awards to several of the big players in this year?s awards season. Palm Springs is the biggest event for the Hollywood crowd right before the one-two punch of the Critics Choice and Golden Globes awards shows, and yes, I know I?m leaving out the People?s Choice. Hardly anyone goes to the People?s Choice Awards these days! Anyway, Brad Pitt was honored with an award for Moneyball and Tree of Life, and of course, Angelina Jolie got all dolled up in a sack dress for the occasion.
Angelina?s sack dress isn?t really a sack dress though. It?s a sack jumpsuit! Elie Saab makes sack jumpsuits now! And I know I?m just stirring the pot here and that I?m letting the tabloid reports about Angelina?s womb influence by opinion, but seriously, Angelina looks kind of knocked up to me. It?s the way the ?sack? part of the jumpsuit is falling in her mid-section. It?s also that her boobs look big and she looks really happy – a sure sign that she?s knocked up? Just putting that out there. Also: she looks really pretty here, sack or no sack. Her skin looks gorge, and I really like what she?s done with her hair. She got a cut, and she added some highlights in front.
Brad?s other accessory (besides the beautiful woman on his arm) was his cane. We saw him with the cane last week, coming out a skin-care spa, wearing a black onesie. While Brad was on the red carpet, he talked about why he was sporting the cane. Hint: It wasn?t because Angelina kneecapped him! Brad claims that he ?wiped out on a ski slope while carrying one of his twins. He twisted his knee and suffered some ACL damage in the process,? according to Entertainment Tonight. Wait, what? He was skiing while carrying a kid? I still prefer the “Angelina kneecapped him” story.

What would it be like to be incredibly wealthy and have the time, energy and inclination to spend money on incredible gifts for your loved ones? For Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the gifts don?t seem to include Elizabeth Taylor-level jewelry, which is disappointing. I would love it if Brad was always buying Angelina jewelry. Alas, I don?t think Brad?s big on that. But Angelina still gives Brad the perfect presents, the gifts that keep on giving, at least according to The Mail. Their sources claim that for Brad?s 48th birthday a few weeks ago, Angelina gave Brad a waterfall. Like, she bought a swath of property that included a waterfall, and now Brad wants to design a house for their family ON the waterfall.
Brad Pitt has completely fallen for his Christmas present from Angelina Jolie ? a waterfall in California. The star now plans to take time out from his movie career to build an ambitious house over the falls near LA in the style of his favourite American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.
The actor celebrated his 48th birthday on December 18 with Angelina, 36, and their six children and Angie told him that the falls and surrounding land were his birthday and Christmas presents.
A thrilled Pitt is now planning to embark on an ambitious and exotic building project emulating the design of Lloyd Wright’s 1939 masterpiece Fallingwater, which was built in Pennsylvania on a similar piece of land. The pair visited the house in 2006.
‘Brad has always loved Fallingwater and his first trip there was unforgettable,’ says a friend. ‘Angelina wanted to get him something incredibly special and, because she knows how much he loves architecture, she thought this would be perfect. She hopes this will be a hideaway for the family. Brad has dreamed of a home with the sound of a waterfall cascading under the house.’
The couple recently sold their Malibu home to star Ellen DeGeneres.
‘Brad has always wanted to design his own house. He wants to pull all aspects of nature, light, glass and varying levels into the concept,’ says the friend. ‘This is the present to top all presents.’ Brad has said he’d like to give up his Hollywood life, declaring: ‘While acting is my career, architecture is my passion.’
[From The Mail]
A waterfall house would be amazing? although probably not the best idea with six young children, you know? ?Where?s Knox? OMG HE?S IN THE WATERFALL.? Angelina did ?gift? Brad with a trip to Fallingwater in 2006 – there was even a lovely photo of the couple at the site. Anyway, even though I find Brad?s obsession with real estate, remodeling and architecture rather annoying, it seems like Angelina thinks it?s a nice occupation for Brad to have, and she encourages it. I guess Brad is almost done with the remodel to French chateau, so he?s probably looking for a new project.
