Even More Photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

So it's Monday and I'm sure you're sitting there thinking, "If only I could see some more photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, this day wouldn't be so crappy." Well, how's this for luck - here are some more of the ubiquitous couple at the Tokyo premiere of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Don't say I never do anything for you.

As usual they both looked too stunning and flawless to be human. They certainly don't look like they've been toting six kids around Tokyo with them. Standing behind them trying to get noticed is "Button" director David Fincher. Poor guy - if anyone could make you feel like a third wheel it would be these two.

I know - the only thing that could be better would be if all of Brad and Angie's kids were in these pictures with them. Maybe I'll be able to find some, and make your Tuesday, too.

Brad Pitt Says He Never Googles Himself

Brad Pitt was recently asked if he's ever Googled himself. He replied, "Dear God. No. Never." Who's he trying to fool? Everyone knows all guys Google themselves - when their wives aren't home, when they're in the shower, when they're flipping through the Victoria's Secret catalog.

Is Brad trying to project some sort of goody-two-shoes image now that he's a dad and he and Angelina Jolie have a houseful of kids? Maybe he's thinking Pax, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh or the twins might have accidentally caught a glimpse of him furiously Googling himself one day while he was sitting in front of the computer - -

Oh, wait - he said GOOGLE? I thought he said something else.

Never mind.

Oscar Nominations: Johnny Depp Is Sick of His Good Looks

He may have been nominated for an Academy Award this morning, but Johnny Depp probably watched the announcements through his tears. The actor, who was nominated for his leading role in Sweeney Todd, says sarcastically, "I cry every morning when I look in the mirror. Every single morning, because I gotta live with this cute face."

Let's hope he pulls it together for the Oscars.

Oscar Nominations: A Mighty Disappointment For Angelina Jolie

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:45:00 GMT

Not everyone is celebrating the announcement of Academy Award nominations this morning. Angelina Jolie, who was on many critics' short list for a Best Actress nominee for A Mighty Heart, was noticeably absent off the list. In spite of scoring both Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations, Jolie's portrayal of Marianne Pearl, (wife of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl) failed to earn her an Oscar nod.

Us Magazine film critic Thelma Adams blames the slight on the film's poor box office performance as well as the release date of the film. The movie premiered way back in June, which she says could mean many voters simply forgot about the movie.

Or, maybe the other nominees are better actresses. Just a theory.

Oscar Nominations: Ex-Stripper Diablo Cody Gets a Nod for "Juno"

Taking off your clothes in public? People do it everyday in Hollywood, but few of them get nominated for an Oscar. Diablo Cody, who at one time made a living as a stripper, can now add Academy Award nominee to her colorful resume. Cody (whose real name is Brook Busey-Hunt) scored a nomination for her original screenplay for the hit indie film Juno. The movie, about a feisty 16-year old dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, got a total of four nominations including Best Picture.

A first-time screenwriter who also toiled as a phone-sex worker, Cody previously had some notoriety for her memoir, Candy Girl. The book chronicled her days working as a stripper while supporting her husband and then nine-year old stepdaughter.

Also important to note: Cody started off as a blogger on her site The Pussy Ranch. There's hope for all of us here: Today FameCrawler, tomorrow the Oscars!
