Brad Pitt’s present girlfriend Angelina Jolie will battle it out with Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston on big screen with their movies releasing on the same day.

Angelina Jolie’s new flick Changeling directed by Clint Eastwood will hit the screens on 24th October this year and Aniston’s romantic comedy ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ is also releasing on the same fateful day.

But trade gurus are cashing in on Aniston’s romantic comedy to make it big at the box office, as Jolie’s flick is a limited time release.

The Tomb Raider star’s film is way above Aniston’s film in terms of critical acclaim and her role in the movie as a kidnapped son’s mother is sure to make the way for her second Academy Award.

Angelina Jolie’s new movie ‘The Exchange’ premiering at Cannes Film Festival reminds her of her late mother.

The movie shows Angelina playing a mother to child who is kidnapped.

At a press conference Angelina said, “It’s personal, but I lost my mother a few months before the film.”

“And to me, [my character Christine’s] very much like my mother. My mother was very passive in many ways, and very, very sweet. But when it came to her children, she was a lion. But as a woman — very shy, almost of her own voice.”

Angelina’s mother Marcheline Bertrand died last year in January because of ovarian cancer.

She added, “In many ways, Christine reminded me of my mom, and it was a way to kind of revisit my mother after passing and spend time with her. It was very nice, and in that way, very healing and interesting for me.”

Speaking about the movie Angie says, “To lose a child, I can’t imagine anything worse, especially not knowing the fate of that child.

“So much of it is being a mother and imagining if this was happening to me, my pain and my frustration.”

Jolie also feels honored to be working with a director like Clint Eastwood, “[It was] amazing,” said Jolie.

She also adds, “I was like anybody would be in this room. I was nervous the first day. He’s really just a great leader, just a great all-round leader. Not just because as a director he is decisive and clear and dedicated to getting the story out.

“But every single member of the crew he respects and gives them his time. Every single person feels valued. Everybody brings their best. I’ve never seen a director command so much respect.”

“Not because he’s Clint Eastwood, but because he is so gracious and connected to every single person. It was a pleasure, and I’m sure every single person on the crew would say the same.”

TIME magazine is out again with its list of TIME 100: The World’s Most Influential People and out Hollywood hot couple Brangelina stands at number 21 on the list.

Close friend and associate of Brangelina, George Clooney has written a tribute for the couple where he writes about the celebrity couple’s philanthropic work, charitable donation and the help provided by them for the victims of atrocities in Darfur.

Clooney writes, “As a team, actors Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have served as our goodwill ambassadors worldwide. They brought help to Pakistan in 2005, after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless.

“They have tended to the poor and sick in Africa. And they’ve raised global awareness—and contributed $1 million of their own money–for the victims of atrocities in Darfur.

“Brad co-founded Not on Our Watch, an organization set up to focus global attention on Darfur and other hot spots.”

Clooney added, “Angelina has worked tirelessly through the United Nations on behalf of refugees around the world, touring border camps in Africa, Asia and Latin America and lobbying on Capitol Hill.

“The couple cares for three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.

“There are hundreds of people who could be honored for their good works, but I’ve seen Brad and Angelina firsthand, and their commitment together is truly impressive.”

I completely agree with you George.

Angelina Jolie must be really happy to have two babies in her womb and two new movies on her hand Changeling and Kung Fu Panda. The sexy star is ready to showcase her movies at the 61st Cannes Film Festival to be held next month along with her ever-rising tummy.

Angelina’s treat to her young sons Changeling is all set to sweep off the top prize, the Palme d’Or at the festival. Clint Eastwood directs the kidnap thriller, which shows Angelina Jolie as a hardcore assassin.

Next in line is Jolie’s animated flick, Kung Fu Panda that also features Jack Black.

Angelina Jolie apart from her sexy pout and international family, is also known for Philanthropy. She became involved in human rights activism after filming in formerly war-stricken Cambodia in 2001. She is the Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee agency and has concentrated her efforts on field missions, visiting refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) all around the world.

Surprisingly she is greatly inspired by late Princess of Wales, Diana for her charity work.  She hopes to  mirror the Princess’ efforts in her quest to help heal the world.

She says, “Diana inspired me immensely. I followed the work she undertook very closely, especially the issue of landmines. “It was fascinating that she chose that cause. No matter what I do, I always want to go to refugee camps and meet with the most unfortunate. I have found it a privilege - a way of making me feel alive.”

Im surprised at the popularity of the late Princess of Hearts… she continues to inspire people to do good even a decade after her death. We hope Jolie also has the same effect!

Mother Earth Angelina Jolie will get to add something new to her resume ( which didn’t really have much apart from dozen’s of polls that named her ’sexy’ and ‘desirable’).

The exclusive, Manhattan-based foreign-policy group has decided to admit actress Angelina Jolie, a U.N. goodwill ambassador who has taken more than 30 trips worldwide to advocate for refugees, AIDS orphans and disaster victims.

On Friday night, the council’s membership accepted Jolie’s nomination — meaning she will soon be rubbing elbows with other club members such as Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell and Alan Greenspan.

The group requires no academic credentials but looks for members who take part in world affairs. Looks like the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations is about to get a jolt of sex appeal

Guys… we often make a huge difference to others without even knowing it… there often comes a time in your life, when you do good deeds with all your heart without caring a damn for the world, and the whole damn world gets influenced by your attitude…

Such a thing happened with the sexy siren Angelina Jolie, when she went about doing all she wanted to do for the less privileged without bothering who was taking what meaning outta them or the names that people were calling her… and she found a ‘follower’ in Anne Hathaway!

The fair lady says that she’s inspired by the tomb raider babe and her way of giving much more than her money to the needy… “She inspired me to get involved and ask, ‘What can I do other than give money?” said the exited girl…

Truly guys… selfless efforts always do pay off in their own ways… if not for anything else, Angie might just have a lesbian back-up if Brad continues the ditching legacy with her

Mother nature seems to have got another name ……..Angelina Jolie ! We always knew that Angelina does alot for charity and especially for the children ..so that’s nothing new But looks like Angelina ain’t very happy with what’s happening around her ..so she has decided to take everything into her own hands .

Angelina has decided to put the responsibility of wildlife conversation on her son well not exactly her son but a project named after her adopted son ,Maddox .The project to promote wildlife conservation and development in Cambodia was earlier handed by a two non government organisations but it looks like Angelina wasn’t very happy as she decided against renewing the contract and decided to give the job to The Madoxx Jolie-Pitt organisation ,Jolie’s group is named for her five-year-old son Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia in 2002. The program operates in the former Khmer Rouge stronghold of Samlot in northwestern Cambodia.

Jolie has campaigned for environmental reform in the impoverished country, which has rewarded her work with citizenship, and last year gave her a Cambodian passport. The actress fell in love with Cambodia while shooting “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” at the famed Angkor Wat temple in 2001, and owns a home in Samlot district of northwestern Battambang province

Well we are sure that Angelina will live up to her promises ……… looks like the “son”…….”sun” is shining brightly over Cambodia !!

It is not just beauty, now its power as well. Angelina Jolie, who was voted to be the most beautiful person earlier this year has made it to to the Forbes power list of “hottest movie stars, musicians and athletes,” . She stands in the 35th place which she shares with her beau’s ex, Jennifer Aniston. This adds to the list of things that the two actresses have in common, the most important thing being Brad Pitt! The other important things common to both the actresses are the success of their movies (Jolie’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and Aniston’s “The Break up”) with their boy friends.

Pitt also features on the list at the twentieth position. The list is headed by one other than Tom Cruise and what made this “mission impossible” possible is his His lucrative $67 million back-end deal for War of the Worlds.

The year so far has been great, as far as Jolie is concerned. Not only did she appear weekly in the tabloids because of her relationship with Brad Pitt, new baby and exploits in Africa, but she helped bring in big bucks for “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Her landmark deal with St. John’s earned her a piece of the fashion company in exchange for endorsing the line. Next, the mother of three will play Grendel’s mother in an animated version of “Beowulf.”
