Film Critic Slams Most Of Hollywood

 

 Film Critic Slams Most Of Hollywood

British film critic David Thomson basically went NUTS on Hollywood this morning. The ­Editor of The Biographical Dictionary Of Film ripped apart almost every A-lister I can think of during an interview with The Daily Mail. Here is just a sample of what he had to say about today’s top celebs:

• HUGH JACKMAN: He is hot (I suppose). Now, he just needs to be interesting.
• KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: She is ­astonishingly beautiful. But Keira is about as interesting as a creme brulée where too much refrigeration has killed flavor with ice burn. She is still more credible as a faintly animated photographer’s model than as an actress.
• BEN AFFLECK: On one hand I have always had a soft spot for Affleck. But my other view is that he is boring, ­complacent and criminally lucky to have got away with everything so far.
• BRAD PITT: Hardly anything he touches now is less than ‘precious’ and ‘awesome’ — it can’t be long before he begins to look very tired.
• HILARY SWANK: In nearly everything she has done, she has been pretty, dull, ordinary and incapable of lifting the film clear of a sanctimonious mud.
• JENNIFER ANISTON: She’s in her 40s now and her £5 ­million-a-movie career ­cannot go on for much longer. But rather in the manner of Doris Day, while one can make gentle fun of Jennifer Aniston, it’s hard to dislike her.
• DREW BARRYMORE: I can’t help finding it shocking, as well as startling, that Drew Barrymore was born so recently (in 1975), and yet seems to have been here, and a problem, for so long.
• GEORGE CLOONEY: It’s clear, as he approaches 50, that George Clooney is the most liked actor in U.S. ­pictures. And it is also clear that he knows it.
• MATT DAMON: What’s most interesting about Damon is the very lack of good looks — and the feeling of a squashed and rebuilt face.

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Attend ‘The Tourist’ Premiere In Spain

 Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Attend ‘The Tourist’ Premiere In Spain

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are certainly making the rounds for ‘The Tourist’. First we saw Hollywood’s favorite couple in Germany, then in Italy and today we have new shots of Brad and Angie in Spain.

Angelina Jolie has been keeping it classy on the red carpet. She’s never really one to rock a ton of color, but I would love to see her in something bright or floral. Unfortunately, I doubt that’s in her game plan. Black, white and beige seem to be her safe zone.

Angelina Jolie Talks Plastic Surgery And Date Nights In Venice

 Angelina Jolie Talks Plastic Surgery And Date Nights In Venice

Angelina Jolie is giving interviews left and right during promotion for “The Tourist“, and is opening up about everything from her kids’ wardrobe choices to plastic surgery. She shares that she hasn’t had any work done and isn’t planning on it, either.

“I haven’t had anything done and I don’t think I will. But if it makes somebody happy then that’s up to them. I’m not in somebody else’s skin to know what makes them feel better about themselves. But I don’t plan to do it myself.

Angelina is pretty content in her life with Brad and the kids:

“I enjoy the work more now because I enjoy life more,” she says. “When you have children the whole world shifts for you. You have these little people that make you laugh and remind you every day of what is important, and you get to be their parent and that’s the most important thing you’ll ever be. Everything else comes from that.”

The actress dishes on the uniqueness of having a date night in Venice (where she filmed The Tourist):

“One night Brad and I went out to dinner and I wanted to get dressed up and wear my heels. By the time we’d finished dinner we had to borrow welly boots because the water had risen so high that you couldn’t walk down the street,” she explained. “But that’s the magic of Venice.”

Angelina Jolie – Jewellery Designer?

 Angelina Jolie – Jewellery Designer?

Apparently Angelina Jolie is about to add the title of Jewellery Designer to her resume. Because she’s not busy enough being a mother of 6, actress, director and humanitarian (and home wrecker if you listen to Chelsea Handler) she’s decided to add her own jewellery collection to the list!

Us Magazine is reporting that Angelina is teaming up with former Asprey CEO Robert Procop to release her own line of jewellery. Procop told WWD;

“Angelina has very classic style,”
“These are pieces she wears herself.”

Unfortunately those pieces won’t be available to you and me. Nope, Procop will sell the pieces exclusively to his network of clients, with all proceeds going directly to Jolie’s charity, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. I think that’s wonderful that the proceeds will go to charity, but do you think that exclusive clients will be more apt to buy pieces designed by a celebrity, or would it be better if it was made available to the public?  Would you wear jewellery designed by Angelina Jolie if you had the chance?

Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Get The Controversy Over Shiloh’s Style

Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Get The Controversy Over Shiloh’s Style

I have to agree with Angelina Jolie on this one. Honestly, one of the most talked about things online is why Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has short hair! It really is something that a lot people think a lot about, and Angelina addressed it when she spoke with YOU Magazine.

“I don’t think it’s for the world to interpret anything. She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called John for a while. Some kids wear capes and want to be Superman and she wants to be like her brothers. It’s who she is. It’s been a surprise to us and it’s really interesting, but she’s so much more than that – she’s funny and sweet and pretty. But she does love a tie.”

Shiloh is so young – I can’t believe that people think she should look any way at all! I think it’s great that Angelina and Brad are willing to let their children express themselves. She also went on to say that encouraging all of her children’s originality is important to her.

“Hopefully I’m giving my children the sense that they are deeply loved and deeply safe. At the same time we are hopefully encouraging their individuality as they get to know who they are, and not getting in the way of that. That’s why they are six very strong individuals.”

That must be one very busy house! What do you think of Angelina letting her kids express their individuality through their clothes and hair?

Chelsea Handler Calls Angelina Jolie A “Homewrecker”

 Chelsea Handler Calls Angelina Jolie A “Homewrecker”

When I first heard this, it seemed random: why does Chelsea Handler care about Angelina Jolie? Then I remembered Chelsea talking about vacationing with Jennifer Aniston in Mexico this past Thanksgiving and remembered their friendship.


So that may explain why Chelsea Handler is calling Angelina a “homewrecker.”

“She’s a homewrecker, she is. She can rescue as many babies from as many countries as she wants to. I don’t f***ing believe you. She gives interviews, ‘I don’t have a lot of female friends.’ Because you’re a f***ing **** … You’re a f***ing b***h.”

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Attend ‘Megamind’ Premiere In Paris

 

 Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Attend ‘Megamind’ Premiere In Paris

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the ‘Megamind‘ premiere in Paris, France last night. You can love them or hate them, but whenever Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attend a function, it gets a LOT of press.

This wasn’t really a pleasure outing – Brad Pitt voiced one of the ‘Megamind’ characters, ‘Metro Man’. Doing CGI films has to be the easiest way to get paid in Hollywood. Angelina Jolie is famous for her role in ‘Kung Fu Panda’ – which is coming out with a sequel soon enough.


Have you seen ‘Megamind’? It went head to head against ‘Tangled’ but the two movies cater different kind of children. I’ll probably end up seeing it – but when it comes to television.

Back to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – what do you think about Brad’s leather pants?! I love how they are both ALL in black. This must have been a nice night out for Angie seeing that she has to deal with issues revolving around her UN title.

Angelina Jolie Does Vogue

Angelina Jolie Does Vogue

Angelina Jolie is Vogue’s December covergirl – and she brings by a few interesting quotes:

On wearing black: “As Brad’ll tell you—and my kids—apparently Mommy only wears black,” she says. Because she was a Goth, right? No, she says, it’s utilitarian, it’s practical: “I like to get up so every pair of pants goes with every top, every dress goes with every shoe. I’ve a very tiny closet. Brad’s always laughing at me. Some days, yes, I have the nightgown that looks like a dress that I can sleep in and pick the kids up at school. And maybe take a meeting if I switch into heels.”

Jolie on her complicated life: “I was feeding the babies”—Vivienne and Knox—“while I was reading the script [of Salt],” she remembers, “and I was feeling very round and lovely and Mom-y, and I’d been living in a nightgown for a very, very long time.” Part of the reason she did it was to get back in shape (“practicing the stunts is where you get your strength back”).

On playing strong female characters, specifically in Salt: “I felt it was a weird thing that every time you ask for a strong female role, it’s written in this strange way where it uses sexuality far too much. Or it’s all about being a woman and beating a man. So it wasn’t a surprise to me that the only way to do a strong female role properly was to not have originally written for a woman.”

… says Angelina.
