Angelina & Brad to launch humanitarian kids fashion line



BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie will launch a clothing collection based on their children's fashion styles, the Mail on Sunday reported.

The proceeds will go to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which supports humanitarian causes throughout the world, according to the newspaper.

Pitt was already attending meetings in Italy to complete the deal, which will set up a line following the trends set by the oldest four of the couple’s six children - nine-year-old Maddox, six-year-old Pax, five-year-old Zahara and Shiloh, four.

It was estimated the collection could boost the foundation’s coffers by millions.

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.

American actor Angelina Jolie has denied rumours that she will be playing iconic actress Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming blockbuster.

"It's really funny because I have just heard about this for the first time today. It's news to me. I'm flattered I suppose," Sky News quoted Jolie as saying.
