Videos: Angelina: I wanna be Jane Goodall!

Angelina Jolie in an interview about great Jane Goodall.




Joint meeting, Jane's Journey - the journey of life of Jane Goodall:
More than 20 years ago, Dr. Jane Goodall, now 75, decided to give up her career as a primatologist, as well as her private life, in order to devote her entire energy to saving our endangered planet. Since then she's been spending 300 days a year scouring the globe on her mission to spread hope for future generations. She has taken on the responsibilities of a UN Messenger of Peace, has been honoured with countless awards, was appointed "Dame of the British Empire" and was even admitted to the "Légion d'Honneur", the highest decoration of France.

In "Jane's Journey", we accompany her on her travels across several continents, with unprecedented access to her intense and exciting past. From her childhood home in Bournemouth, England, we embark to 'Gombe National Park' on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in Tanzania, her second home. This is where she began her groundbreaking research nearly half a century ago, and where to this day she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her the internationally recognized activist so loved and deeply respected.

"Jane's Journey" is an intimate portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon -- an exceptional woman, possibly the most fascinating woman of our time, whose scientific breakthroughs are considered to be among the most important of the past 100 years.




The visual scope of "Jane's Journey" spans a fascinating arc from the beaches of Bournemouth to the flatlands of Nebraska, and from the rainforests of Gombe to the melting glaciers of Greenland, offering spectacular footage of Jane's touching encounters with animals both wild and domestic as well as with humans, from Hollywood celebrities to traumatized children in African refugee camps. Whoever encounters Jane Goodall irrevocably falls under her spell. As The Boston Globe once put it: "To be with Jane Goodall is like walking with Mahatma Gandhi."

To be delivered in 2010, the year of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Goodall's ongoing chimpanzee research project in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania.

Robert Pattison will not star with Angie in "Unforgiven"

Slamming down speculation the 'Twilight Saga' heartthrob has been tapped to star opposite the 'Salt' beauty in the thriller movie, his rep shoots down the report and claims it is simply 'inaccurate.'

Representative for the Edward Cullen of the "Twilight Saga" series has slammed down rumor mentioning he has been signed to star opposite the "Salt" beauty in the in-development movie project. His rep told Gossip Cop the report is simply "inaccurate."

The rumors itself emerged after Lainey Gossip claimed that Robert has landed a role in the project. "There's speculation in the wind that Robert Pattinson has been tapped for this project," so the site reported. "He had a meeting late last year with Angelina's lawyer, Robert Offer, and a 'celebratory' dinner, too, so his recent trip to see 'Salt' with his agent is suddenly rife with new possibility."

Bizzare: Angie & Brad's exhaled breath selling for $523!

Let’s bid our time

Michael Jackson’s glittery glove is just so passé; as are baubles from Marilyn Monroe’s boudoir. Celebrity auction items today are getting up, close and personal with the highest bidder. This week, the hammer came down on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s ‘exhaled breath’ at $523 on online auction site


eBay. The fact that the glass jar ‘may contain air molecules that came in direct contact with’ the Hollywood heartthrobs did not deter the anonymous bidder. Now before you turn your nose up at this latest fad, it would do well to remember that when Scarlett Johansson blew her nose into a tissue for Jay Leno, someone coughed up a grand $5,300, beating 82 other bidders in the process.
As if steering Britain to victory in the World War II by the skin of its teeth wasn’t enough, Winston Churchill’s war-time dentures fetched a British auction house a bite-sized chunk from a private collector last month. Add to this Britney Spears’s chewed gum to Justin Timberlake’s half-eaten French toast and it might make you wonder just what the auctioneer’s block might dish up for us next. Maybe it’s time to offer up a few items of our own to cash in on this bullish bazaar of memorabilia.

How about Mademoiselle Mayawati’s original handbag, the one that has launched a million statues? Or the hapless flowerpot launched outside the Bihar Assembly by the suitably enraged Jyoti Devi? But if projectiles or politicos aren’t your thing, then maybe you could offer up your trendy bullock cart to clear out the debris left behind in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games, or your kayak to ferry tourists through the capital’s flooded streets. As for us, we’re off to hide before someone brings out that jar to trap the rarefied air we breathe.

Rade Serbedzija: Angie's new movie is not anti-Serbian!

EXCLUSIVE RADE SERBEDZIJA ABOUT FAMOUS ACTRESS’S PROJECT
Angelina Jolie’s film not anti-Serbian

‘Apart from being a brilliant actress and a beautiful woman, what I like the most about Angelina Jolie is her humanity and wish to help the poor, the sick and those in need in all parts of the world’, Rade Serbedzija says in his interview with the ‘Blic’ by which he dispersed numerous speculations circulating in the region from the moment Jolie had offered him a role in her new film dealing with a love life between a Serb and a Muslim woman during civil war in former Yugoslavia.

‘For almost two months already I have been in contact with Angelina Jolie. She tried to contact me via my agents and they told her that I am not acting in movies on war in former Yugoslavia. I rejected all offers because scenarios were mainly poor and onesided', Serbedzija says.

Q: With black and white picture of what was going on here with Serbs as the only guilty party?
‘Yes. When she was told why I had rejected her offer, Angelina contacted me by phone and asked me to read the scenario. The text is fantastic. It is a love story about a young Serb and a Muslim woman who fell in love several evenings before beginning of war in Bosnia. That’s how film begins. Then follows war madness. The action follows war events with young Muslim woman ending up in a Serbian concentration camp from where she is somehow saved by the young Serb. Their love becomes passionate but impossible’.

Q: Angelina wrote the scenario herself, didn’t she?
‘Yes, she did after she had heard a true story. It is not true that it is an anti-Serbian film. Yesterday she sent me a mail explaining she was aware how painful the topic in this area is. It is not true either that she has talked about production of the film with anybody here. The shooting of scenes shall be in Sarajevo and Budapest’.

Q: Nor with Zeljko Mitrovic and Philip Gajic?
'No, Angelina didn't talk to anyone about the production and it is important people to know that!First time she talked about the movie is few days ago, in Sarajevo, with Haris Silajdzic and Zeljko Komsic in regard about a shooting scene in Sarajevo. Other scenes will be shot in Budapest.

Q: What is your character?
‘I am playing father of the main hero, a Serbian patriot. That is a very good character. He is a nationalist, but not a negative character. The story about him is very complex. He is a man with traumas from the WWII whose whole family was killed. He has that tragedy in himself and his nationalism is arising from it’.We know that the war in former Yugoslavia draw in such situations people from all sides. This film is, therefore, deals with a fantastic love story and that is what is important.


Q: Do you know Angelina previously?
'I never met her, but we know each other because Vanessa Redgrave told me a lot about Angelina. Most important for me was seeing that such a brilliant actress and beautiful woman is so humanitarian, always trying to help people around the world.

Former agent that trained Angie: she could be a spy

The former CIA girl's latest assignment was training Angelina for her role as a secret agent in new blockbuster movie Salt.
And Melissa believes that, apart from the crucial issue of having one of the most recognisable faces on the planet, Angelina has all the attributes to be a brilliant spy.
She explained: "Angelina is good at masking her inner emotions and she brings that to the role."To be a good spy you harbour a lot of lies all the time. You want to present a particular image, whatever that image is going to be. There is an element of that in being a celebrity.
"Spies are always acting and taking on roles. We manipulate how people view you and that's very similar to what actors do. Angelina pulls it off very well, her focus and understanding is very impressive."
Salt director Phillip Noyce signed Melissa as a consultant on the movie after they decided to change the title character from a man to a woman.
Melissa used her wealth of experience to improve the script and advised Angelina, 35, on her role as a CIA spy accused of being a Russian mole. Melissa said: "When I met Angelina I was so impressed. I don't know what I was expecting but I got a real professional. She was focused and interested in the details of how things worked and looking at it through a spy's eye."
Melissa revealed: "I was shot at - but it doesn't happen every day. If every day was like a day in Salt's life, I'd be dead.
Melissa believes that Angelina's mastery of her role can help to recruit a new generation of hotshot CIA officers. She says: "Angelina puts a very good face on what it means to be a spy. Hollywood is a great recruiter."OK, the reality is a little bit different. But as I tell everybody, the reality is even better."

Angelina's kids are learning French

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children are learning French.

The Hollywood couple – who raise children Maddox, nine, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, together – are keen for their offspring to embrace the European language to help them understand why the country is important to their family.

Angelina – whose late mother Marcheline Bertrand was of French Canadian descent – explained to BANG Showbiz, Right now they’re in the French programme and they’re doing very well. We want them to learn French and speak French because of our heritage.”

As well as Angelina’s beloved mother, France is special to the couple for other reasons, and was chosen to be the birthplace of their twin babies Knox and Vivienne.

The 35-year-old beauty gave birth to the tots at the Lenval hospital in nice, France in 2008.

Angelina was speaking at the gala premiere of ‘Salt’ at the Empire Cinema in London’s Leicester Square last night, August 16, where she looked stunning as she greeted hundreds of screaming fans.

She said, “I always enjoy London and this is amazing. It means so much when everybody comes out.”

The screen beauty also revealed she had brought her two youngest children with her while Brad looked after the eldest four at home.

She added, “I brought the babies. I’m having some special baby time.”

Angie: "Brad & me are the same", and more on: twins time, blood games & dressing like a man to fool Mad

The 35-year-old actress told Mandrake at the premiere of Salt at the Empire, Leicester Square, in London, that, after she had been made up and kitted out as a man for a scene in the spy film, she brought her son on to the set.

"I invited him to come say 'hi' to me and I didn't tell him who it was," said the actress. "So he came down, he shook my hand and he hung out with me for a while and then I said 'Mad?' and he went 'Aaaaagh! Muuum!' and he totally freaked out."

The disguise also concerned Brad Pitt, 46, Jolie's boyfriend. "He couldn't kiss me as a man," the actress added.

At Monday's London premiere of Salt, Angelina Jolie admitted to UsMagazine.com that her kids with Brad Pitt love to play with blood -- the fake, behind-the-scenes kind, that is.

Jolie, 35, explained that her kids -- including Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5 and Shiloh, 4 -- would often come with her on the set of action thriller. "I would bring them in early in the mornings...and I'd let them [use] blood," she said.

"So we play together, they try on my wigs, they play with the blood," the mother of six told Us.

But don't worry, she insisted. "They know it's all silly! They test the harnesses and we have them flying around. They know what it is."

Not that Jolie didn't shed any real blood while making the intense action flick. "I have a little scar right here," she admitted, pointing to the front of her scalp, describing how she "went smack into a table" during an gun-shooting sequence. "It was a little embarrassing."

Were Shiloh and the gang in London for the big night? Just "the babies," Jolie told Us of twins Vivienne and Knox, 2. "I'm having some special baby time."

The star also lent some insight into how she and Brad Pitt co-parent. "We're very much a united front," she told Us. "They can't get Mommy to do something Daddy wouldn't. We're very much the same. But we take turns working and we bring the kids to each other's sets, so we try to stay together."

Angelina: "Salt" premiere in Paris

Angelina Jolie showed off some trademark vixen flair at the Paris premiere of her spy thriller Salt.

Jolie showed up to the photo call wearing a low-cut, glittering number that also showed off her legs.

The actress, sporting a tousled, flirty up-do, repeated her red carpet performance from the night before in London, taking time to sign photographs and pose for pictures with fans. At one point, she seemed to cut her finger and improvised on the fly by sucking on it to stem the minor injury.

Her partner Brad Pitt is currently filming his next project Moneyball in California.

Angie will probably visit Pakistan

Angelina Jolie is hoping to bring awareness and support to Pakistan’s flood victims.

The floods have already displaced nearly 20 million residents but has not received as much media attention as the Haitian earthquake.

“It is getting hard for people — they see Haiti, they see these other events … and they get exhausted by the time another big one rolls around,” Angelina said (via THR).

Pakistanis deal with “mass death, mass displacement,” she added, “and this situation is going to get worse.”

Ang added that she may visit Pakistan when “the cameras go away”.

Angelina talks 'Salt' sequel!

All "Salt" was missing at its twisty end was a "To Be Continued" graphic.

Angelina Jolie's spy thriller was engineered for a sequel. Its main storyline came to a close with the titular hero out of immediate danger and setting off on a new quest for revenge. And "Salt" performed admirably against "Inception" earlier this summer, opening to $36 million in ticket sales. Now there's been some tentative movement on a second film.

Jolie is keeping her fingers crossed that everything works out. "I hope so, for everybody — if they want to see more of Salt," she said at the film's London premiere on Monday (August 16), according to the Press Association. "I love doing action. I love to punch things, jump off things and shoot, so I'm lucky I got the job."

But Sony is said to be waiting to see how "Salt" performs internationally before the studio commits to backing a sequel, the Los Angeles Times reports. Director Phillip Noyce has been reported as interested in reprising his directing duties, and writer Kurt Wimmer is said to be developing ideas to continue the story.

Jolie hasn't yet lined up her next project. "The Tourist" is now behind her and other projects, like the Tim Burton flick, "Maleficent," are not yet ready to ramp up. But from what she's been saying, it seems that she's eager to return to "Salt" territory.

"The other action films I did are based on fantasy while this character is based on reality so we had to make her tougher and meaner," she said. "Salt fights aggressively, in face-to-face combat. In some movies I've done, there's been a temptation — because I'm female — to make the action nice."

Angelina: stunning @ London's "Salt" premiere!

Angelina Jolie stuns at the UK film premiere of her new spy thriller, Salt, at London’s Empire Leicester Square on Monday (August 16).

The 35-year-old actress paired her powder-colored Amanda Wakeley dress with Ferragamo nude patent peep-toe shoes with platform and metal heel.

Angie will reportedly play Marilyn Monroe in an adaptation of the novel “The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe,” a chronicle of the last two years of Marilyn’s life through the eyes of her pet pooch, Maf. Sounds interesting!

UPDATE: When asked about the Marilyn rumors, Angie shared on the red carpet, “I don’t know, it’s a rumor right now. You’ll probably know before me!”

Angelina Jolie's aid hopes for Pakistan

Angelina Jolie's aid hopes for Pakistan

Angelina Jolie believes the lack of aid getting to Pakistan is due to us giving up on giving.

"Unfortunately a lot of people are feeling that donor fatigue that they feel with so many crises and so many situations around the world. I think that as people completely understand the scale of it they will do more," said the actress and UN goodwill ambassador.

Up to 20 million people have been affected by the floods which have swept across a quarter of the country and 2,000 have been left dead, say officials.

Aid agencies have blamed Pakistan's poor image for the shortfall in donations. Jolie insists there is no quick solution.

"This is going to be something that goes on for a very, very long time. They're going to be displaced for a very long time. The cholorea outbreak could be very serious, so many children could die. It may get worse before it gets better," she said.

Pakistan's High Commissioner to Britain has said it could take up to five years and $15bn for the country to recover.

Angelina as Marylin, Clooney as Sinatra?

Angelina Jolie to play Marilyn Monroe on silver screen

MARILYN Monroe fans are in shock after it was announced that Angelina Jolie will portray Hollywood’s most famous blonde bombshell on the big screen.

Jolie, a slim brunette, beat more obvious contenders like the Monroe-esque actress Scarlett Johansson and voluptuous American TV star Christina Hendricks to the role in the movie, which will also feature George Clooney as Frank Sinatra.

Scottish author Andrew O’Hagan announced that his latest novel, The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe, would be made into a Hollywood film starring the two actors.

The book tells the story of Monroe’s last two years through the eyes of her pet Maf, a gift from Sinatra in 1960.

According to Mr O’Hagan, Maf had an instinct for politics, psychoanalysis, literature and interior decoration.

The novel catalogues not just the life of the actress, but also some of the defining moments of the 20th century.

Mr O’Hagan, speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, confirmed that Clooney and Jolie were cast and that production would begin soon.

The news came as Jolie prepared to premiere her latest movie, Salt, on Monday in the UK, in which she stars as a KGB sleeper agent who goes on the run to clear her name.
