Clint Eastwood Says Angelina Jolie is Hampered by Beauty

Karl Erikson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:07:00 GMT

At the New Yorker Festival last weekend, Clint Eastwood premiered his newest movie, "The Changeling," which stars Angelina Jolie. Clint says that Angelina is held back because of her beauty. "She is an actress hampered by her gorgeous face, I think the most beautiful face on the planet. People sometimes can't see past that, to her talent. She's on all these magazine covers so it's easy to overlook what an amazing actress is underneath."

Clint compared Jolie to Meryl Streep because of her work ethic. "Actors know with me they aren't going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right, so they come with their full bag of tricks," Eastwood said. "Angelina is a lot like Meryl Streep in that respect."

High praise, indeed.

"The Changeling" is due to be released in limited theaters on October 24.

There's Clint and his family, by the way.

Red Carpet Chat With Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, along with their six kids, arrived earlier in the week in New York for Angie's Changeling promotion. Jolie walked the red carpet Saturday evening, looking stunning of course (we had no doubts) and she talked about work, kids and being back in the spotlight.

Angelina spoke with PEOPLE and was asked if she was nervous to be back in the limelight. "Not nervous as much as I just took a deep breath because it's been so long. It felt a little strange."

The 33-year-old actress said that "everybody's great." And, "the babies are getting big and healthy and developing personalities.

"We are a little bit [sleep deprived]. We have some help a couple of nights a week, so on those nights we catch up on our sleep."

And how did she manage to slim down so quickly after the twins? Angie says, "I run around with all the other kids, and I'm breastfeeding, which I think is a part of your body's recovery. I feel great [and] feel very happy that they're healthy."

About her new movie, playing a mom whose child is kidnapped, Jolie says, "Your worst fear is anything happening to your kids. The reason I didn't want to do the film for a long time... every day I came home, and I was so clinging to my kids. I was grabbing them. And checking them in the night. It scares me."

Will she and Brad adopt again? "I think we're going to wait a little while." Oh that's a yes!

Angelina and Brad at Changeling Premiere

Karl Erikson — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:02:00 GMT

Uber Parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who are well on their way to starting their own professional soccer team with a boatload of children, showed up for the paps on the red carpet last night. It's the 46th Annual New York Film Festival and Angelina came out looking gorgeous for the premiere of her new movie, "The Changeling."

I don't see any other movies on Angelina's docket, but Brad has "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" opening on Christmas. It's rumored to be Oscar-worthy. In the meantime, us mere mortals will have to settle for short glimpses at the royal couple whenever we can get them.

Angelina Jolie is The Sexiest Private Eye Ever

Karl Erikson — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 12:37:00 GMT

It's great to see Super Mom Angelina Jolie back in New York. If not for film premieres, she might stay in Europe forever. She's back in the States to promote "The Changeling," her latest flick, which opens later this month.

"Changeling" is actually premiering during the New York Film Festival tonight. Clint Eastwood is the director, and J. Michael Straczynski wrote it, so I can't imagine it being anything less than stellar. Plus, Jolie and John Malkovich are nothing to sneeze at. One of the few movies I'm looking forward to.

By the way, how hot is the trenchcoat look on Angelina?

Johnny Depp is Not A Jerk

Karen — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:04:00 GMT

Just like I would expect any of my boyfriends to be, Johnny Depp is gracious and signs autographs without being a jerk about it.

Autograph magazine's annual list of the "10 Best and 10 Worst Hollywood Signers," named Depp #1 on their list of 10 Best.

"Though soft-spoken and laid-back, he likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing," New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi explains in the December issue, now on newsstands. "He'll sign more than one item when he has time, too."

Matt Damon is second on the list, followed by George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Rosario Dawson, John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Jay Leno, Dakota Fanning and Russell Crowe who has a history of throwing temper tantrums? Crowe was on the Worst list last year! But the magazine said, the 43-year-old actor "started treating fans great, signing, taking pictures and chatting them up."

Will Ferrell is deemed the worst celebrity signer, followed by Tobey Maguire, Joaquin Phoenix, William Shatner, Renee Zellweger, John Malkovich, Julie Andrews, Bruce Willis, Teri Hatcher and Scarlett Johansson.

The most surprising part of this story for me is the fact there is a whole magazine dedicated to autographs -- I had no idea they were that big!

Brad Pitt Has The Common Sense To Try and Change Laws

Karen — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 17:01:00 GMT

Brad Pitt is sick of the paparazzi in his kids faces and is trying to change laws to protect celebrity children, he told Larry King last week.

"[They] call out my kids names and shove cameras in their faces, and I really believe there should be laws against that. I mean, my kids believe that any time you go outside the house there is just a wall of photographers and people that take their picture. That is their view of the world and I worry about the effect it will have on them," Angelina Jolie's partner says.

Pitt is Daddy to Maddox (6), Pax (3), Zahara (2) and Shiloh (17 months). Only Shiloh is a biological child with Angelina Jolie, the rest are adopted but Pitt doesn't see the difference.

"They're as much as my blood as I am theirs. And they are brothers and sisters. One came from Ethiopia, one from Vietnam, one from Cambodia, and one born in Namibia. And they are brothers and sisters, and they have fun and they squabble and they fight, just like any other family. And it makes me so proud."

All the power to him - after Liv Tyler's announcement she felt she had to move to protect her son and all the dangerous situations we've seen in the last year, I certainly hope something gets done.

Angelina On Beowulf, CGI And Sex

HerBadMother — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 00:03:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie says that she was surprised and discomfited when she realized that the animators for the movie Beowulf had turned her lizard-woman character into an, um, naked lizard-woman character.

Joile was "excited" when asked to play the role, not realizing what was in store. "I got a call that I was going to be working with Bob Zemeckis and then I was told I was going to be a lizard and he showed me these pictures of a woman half-painted gold and then a lizard. I've got kids and I thought 'that's great [and] so bizarre; I'm going to be this crazy reptilian person and creature.' I was very excited. Then I saw the poster and saw a few other things and realized I'm not just a lizard.

"I didn't expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn't expect it to feel as real," she added. "So, especially because of the type of character I play, it was kind of funny at first and then there were certain moments where I actually felt shy. I was really surprised that I felt that exposed."

I like Angelina Jolie, I really do, but I'm finding all these aw-shucks claims to modesty a little hard to believe. She was excited to be in Beowulf on behalf of her kids? Did she not read the original text - or, at least, the script? 'Not suitable for children' is kind of an understatement. And seeing how she's built the lion's share of her career on being a sex symbol, it's a tad disingenuous to insist that she felt 'exposed' and discomfited by the overt sexuality of her Beowulf character.

That said, I'm more anxious than ever to see the movie. You?

Beowulf Premiere: Angelina Jolie Has Teeth!

Karen — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 17:27:00 GMT

Brad and Angie hit the red carpet last night for the Los Angeles premiere of Beowulf which opens November 16th. Angelina looked totally weird and forced in these pictures but then I realized that Brad was pulling the lever in her back a little too hard.

Can someone please tell that boy that I'm sick of that damn cap? It's worse than Britney and her brown boots. You're rich! Change it up already!

More pictures after the jump, including one where Brad does his Rene Zellweger impression.
