ANGELINA JOLIE NOW A DIRECTOR, WRITER AND PRODUCER

Recently, Angelina Jolie traveled to Sarajevo to direct her first film, as yet untitled, but said to be written by the mom of 6. (Come on, did she really write it all or is it just like she added so much direction and production input, she earned writing creds?) The picture is a love story about a Serbian (oops almost wrote suburban lol) man and a Bosnian woman during the 1992 – 1995 Bosnian war. Jolie was also in Sarajevo in her official capacity as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to help refugees.

If there’s anyone who can superbly combine Hollywood super-stardom with saving the world, it’s Angelina Jolie. But the hot actress (yes, but I still like  non-homewrecker Jennifer Aniston better), now turned director, writer and producer, insists that “This film is a love story, not a political statement.” Jolie, who won’t be acting in the movie, (gee why not, maybe she can do make up and costumes too) did want to hire local actors. “I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can,” she said.

Angelina will be working on the film along with Graham King who is the “GK” in the GK Films behind the project. Graham King is business partners with Tim Headington. Although filmed in Sarajevo, the movie with be in English and is said to have a low budget of $15 million.

If the film does good at the box office, then I wonder if Angelina Jolie will be doing more directing, producing and writing? I guess if she wants to, she will. (You know I just had a flashback of how amazingly good she was as an actress in Girl, Interrupted. It was supposed to be Winona Ryder’s vehicle, and I guess it still was, but Angelina Jolie became a power actress after that — deservedly so!)

Next up, Jolie is set to act with Johnny Depp in the upcoming GK Films thriller, The Tourist. (Depp and Jolie? Great cheekbones of the world unite!)

ANISTON SO SMART TO DO ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST!

So, you’re a 40-something hot, yet refreshingly down to earth, movie and TV star. You’re Jennifer Aniston. (oh, you wish…) You don’t need to cling to a man to buy your Beverly Hills dream house for you or even with you. You work for it and buy it yourself – get it all fixed up just the way you want it. Then you let that fabulous, glossy Architectural Digest publication do a feature story on you and your new home. What in the hell is wrong with that?

Nothing. Unless you’re Brad Pitt.

Especially since he was the one to leave her for the amazingly beautiful, (yet NOT refreshingly down to earth), Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt seems way out of line in his reaction to his ex’s appearance on the AD cover. He’s saying that Jennifer Aniston was “never into architecture” when they were married; it was HIS hobby and she used to tease him about it. It’s bad enough that Pitt is being totally ridiculous and whiny, but he adds insult to injury by having the nerve to be “disgusted” with her “press ploy” to get his “attention.” (Oh someone clearly needs to let go his ego!)

MR. PERFECT AINT SO NO MORE…  (Feel free to write in about my grammar!)

After carefully creating such a classy public image, Mr. Pitt shot himself in the PR foot by badmouthing his ex. Yes, he was in Architectural Digest a few months ago, apparently architecture is a big hobby of his, SO WHAT – he neither owns the hobby nor the magazine! If Jennifer’s appearance in AD affected him so passionately that he’s risking his image by making worse than caveman-like remarks, he should ask himself why… Is he pissed to see Jennifer Aniston doing so damn well without him?… Too Bad. So Sad, Loser!

SHILOH JOLIE-PITT WANTS SHORT HAIR AND BOYS’ WEAR

Just when you think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can’t get any more forward thinking, you find out they let tomboy daughter, Shiloh, 3, pick out the clothes she wanted most just like 5 year old sister, Zahara, got to do even if they happened to be from the boys’ collection. (There will be no gender stigmas in the Jolie-Pitt household, thankyouverymuch!)

The so hot they’re cool couple went shopping in Paris earlier this week with their two eldest daughters at the chic Bonpoint children’s boutiques on a break from Angelina’s work on the movie, The Tourist. While Zahara chose pretty girly girl dresses, Shiloh wanted more masculine items such as a pair of yellow acid-wash boys’ jeans. The Jolie-Pitts reportedly spent 10K US buying lucky Shiloh the whole Bonpoint boys’ 2010 Spring/Summer collection. (If you want to dress like a boy, boy oh boy you’re going to do it in total style, kid!)

Rather than getting fashion inspiration from big sis Zahara, Shiloh instead looks up to 8 year old brother, Maddox, reportedly even going as far as wearing his old soccer shoes. Who knows if it’s just a tomboy phase or not – I mean she’s only 3! The important thing is that Brangelina are showing good parenting chops by avoiding gender bias although I’m pretty sure not everyone feels this way. Too bad, so sad for those who can’t or won’t see (the good parenting point) but…

SPEAKING OF GOOD PARENTING…

Jolie’s very recent reunion with her formerly estranged father, Jon Voight, has brought Voight to say that both Angelina and Brad are “the most amazing, loving parents I’ve ever seen.” He said his daughter has “so much love to give and to share with the children and with Brad.”

Last week, after a few phone calls and emails, Voight met up with the entire Jolie-Pitt family in Venice, Italy and commented that finally, he was able to hug all of his grandchildren. Shiloh, 3, as well as twins Knox and Vivienne, 19 months, are the couple’s biological offspring, while Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and Zahara, 5, are their adopted children. Best of luck on being reunited, Jolie-Pitt Voights!
