Angelina Jolie Creating ‘Statement’ Jewelry Line

Her celebrity fashion style always makes a statement, and now Angelina Jolie is creating a new line of jewelry with Robert Procop Exceptional Jewels. She wore a piece from the collection at the Berlin premiere of her movie Salt earlier this year: a black spinel necklace bezel set in rose colored gold.

Robert Procop has designed jewelry for Jolie for a decade, describing the new fashion accessories as “pieces she wears herself.” Each piece is priced individually, sold through Procop’s network of clients, and the proceeds from the sales go to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. This is not Jolie’s first jewelry collection, however. Last year she and partner Brad Pitt created a collection of gold and silver jewelry for Asprey, with all profits donated to the same charity.

Brad Pitt Visits Angelina Jolie On Set In A Good Mood!

Actress Angelina Jolie is busy on the set of her latex film which she is dictating in Budapest, Hungary on October 13, 2010.

Brad has just joined his family in Budapest after completing work on his next big film Moneyball.

Katie Holmes Wants Playdate With Jolie

Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes are throwing a tea party for their daughters.

The former 'Dawson's Creek' star has reportedly invited Angelina and her eldest girls Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 2, for tea and cupcakes with her two-year-old Suri at their New York home.

A source said: "Katie loves entertaining and spoke to Angelina about having an at-home tea party with cupcakes for the girls."

Another source adds: "It's something she has wanted to do for ages. Because of security reasons, Katie can't have just any child over to her home.

"But with celebrity tots like Shiloh and Zahara, there's no problem."

Katie, 30, and Angelina, 33, have both relocated their families to New York while they work on upcoming films.

They started planning the playdate in Los Angeles in January when Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt met Katie and her husband Tom Cruise at a private Golden Globes after-party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Tom, 46, and Brad, 45, first met when they co-starred in 1994 film 'Interview with the Vampire', but failed to stay in touch over the years.

Since the film, their careers and social circles have become so different, they rarely see each other. But at the party both talked at length about their children and they agreed to get their little girls together.

Katie and Tom are said to be keen to introduce Suri to children her own age because her adopted siblings - Connor, 14, and Isabella, 16 - are much older.

An insider said: "Suri's a very shy young lady. Even when Tom or Katie have taken her to a park or beach and tried to introduce her to other kids for a little playtime, it hasn't worked. She's very clingy."

Angelina Jolie doesn't like movies

Angelina Jolie hates watching herself on screen.

The Oscar-winning actress feels so uncomfortable watching her movies she hasn't seen many of her box office hits.

She said: "There's a film or two I haven't seen."

The 33-year-old actress - who raises six children with her partner Brad Pitt - explained: "I don't really like to watch movies. I love to watch Brad's movies though."

Despite her recent award nominations for her 'Changeling' role, Angelina ranked her acting career as fourth in her list of priorities. Being a mother to her children came first, being "a woman to Brad" was second and her charity work was third.

Angelina also revealed she plans to act "less and less in the future".

Last November, Angelina - who has three adopted children, Maddox, seven, four-year-old Pax and Zahara, three, along with two-year-old biological daughter Shiloh and baby twins Knox and Vivienne - revealed she plans to "fade away" from Hollywood to spend more time raising her family.

She said: "I don't plan to keep acting for very long. I will take a break for a year. And then one film a year, one film every three years, one film every six years. I'll just fade away and wait to be a grandma one day. I have it all planned."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie promotes 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button'

IN fairness to ANGELINA JOLIE, it must be pretty tiring having to pick out a new outfit for every glam movie premiere.

And while she’s usually bang on the money with her elegant fashion choices, we’re not so sure about this white trouser suit.

The actress has been trailing hubby BRAD PITT across the world as he promotes The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and opted for this JOHN TRAVOLTA-inspired get-up at the film’s European launch in Berlin last night.

Organizers must have felt tempted to belt out the BEE GEES’ Staying Alive over the PA.

Though Angie would have struggled to dance along in such long, shoe-concealing trousers.

Still, her beautifully-crafted hairdo gets a big thumbs up from us.

Angelina Jolie is blaming Jennfier Aniston for failure to win recent awards

Furious Angelina Jolie is blaming Jennifer Aniston for her embarrassing failure to win anything at recent award shows.

As NOW revealed last month, Angelina, 33, was left reeling when Jen publicly laid into her, calling her ‘inappropriate’ for revealing details of the early days of her relationship with Brad Pitt.

Angelina was nervous because Jen’s interview in the December issue of Vogue coincided with the voting of the snooty judges who decide the award winners, including the Oscars, and she feared it would scupper her chances.

Now Angelina, who was hotly tipped to win several gongs, has seen her fears confirmed after she was spectacularly snubbed at both the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Golden Globes.

‘Ange is gutted,’ says our insider. ‘She feels that Jen’s interview had a part to play in her losing out.

Critics lauded Angelina’s performance in Changeling as phenomenal and there’s been lots of Oscar buzz, but now she doesn’t think she stands a chance.

‘The judges are notoriously moralistic and they’ll think nothing of ensuring that a worthy candidate misses out if they’ve been embroiled in any scandal.

‘As if that wasn’t enough, when Kate Winslet won her Golden Globe she mentioned all the other actresses in her category, but forgot Angelina’s name. Ange’s face was a picture.’

Curious Oscars

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' has been nominated for 13 Oscars.

The movie is up for an incredible haul of accolades at the 81st Academy Awards, including Best Director for David Fincher, Best Actor for lead star Brad Pitt and the coveted Best Picture prize.

The movie will go up against 'Frost/Nixon', 'Milk', 'The Reader' and 'Slumdog Millionaire' for Best Picture.

Rags-to-riches tale 'Slumdog Millionaire' received the second most nominations - which were announced at a ceremony in Beverly Hills today (22.01.09) - receiving nods in 10 different categories, including Best Director for British filmmaker Danny Boyle.

Heath Ledger - who died of an accidental prescription overdose last January - is posthumously up for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as The Joker in 'The Dark Knight'. Surprisingly, the critically-acclaimed Batman movie is not up for any of the other main accolades.

Double Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet will be hoping to take home her first Academy Award after being nominated for Best Actress for her performance in 'The Reader'.

She will go up against 'Rachel Getting Married' star Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep - who has been recognised for 'Doubt' - Melissa Leo in 'Frozen River', and Angelina Jolie, who received a nod for her performance in 'Changeling'.

Angelina Jolie To Adopt Another Child From Ethiopia

Angelina Jolie and Zahara Jolie-Pitt Sighting in Chicago

Angelina Jolie and her long-term partner Brad Pitt - whose relationship is rumored to be going through a rocky patch - are reportedly planning to travel to the African country to find a fourth disadvantaged child they can give a home to.

The couple - who are already adoptive parents to six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia - believe another baby will strengthen their relationship and help Zahara feel more secure within the family.

A source close to the couple - who also have a 14-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh - told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Brad and Angelina have made no secret of the fact they are keen to extend their rainbow family.

"Angelina, in particular, feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblances between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will have a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. Brad and Angelina hope that by finding a brother or sister for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin, and also bring them closer together."

The couple are said to be planning to visit Ethiopia's Wide Horizons agency, the same place that introduced them to Zahara, in November.

Angelina Jolie's Latest Mission Is Fighting Cancer

The 32-year-old actress - who lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to ovarian cancer earlier this year - has pledged her time and support to TV star Fran Drescher's Cancer Schmancer Movement.

The charity strives to ensure all women's cancers are diagnosed in Stage 1, when they are most curable.

Fran, 49, told TV show 'Access Hollywood': "Angelina's mother had ovarian cancer and did not win her battle, so she is going to lock elbows with me and we are going to do some things together.

"We are dedicated to ensure that all women's cancers get diagnosed in Stage 1 by galvanising and educating, then we can change policy by signing petitions."

Brad Pitt Walks Like A "Caveman" & Looks "Banal"

The 'Ocean's Thirteen' star, regarded by many as the world's sexiest man, is not impressed when he sees his reflection.

He said: "When I look in the mirror, what I see is pretty banal. Also when I'm tired, I walk like a caveman."

Brad's looks are not the only thing he is unhappy with.

He added: "I don't like my bad moods."

Brad - who has three adopted children, Maddox, five, Pax, three, Zahara, two, and one-year-old biological daughter Shiloh, with lover Angelina Jolie - recently hit out at young Hollywood stars.

Brad Pitt also believes they focus too much on fame and not enough on more important social issues.

He said: "You have to focus on other more important issues as well as the fame side of things. Those 'car wreck' tendencies can be very disruptive and aren't a good way to live your life."

Eva Longoria's $2 Million OK! Magazine Deal

Eva Longoria will receive more than $2 million from OK! magazine for exclusive coverage of her wedding, it has been reported.

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress, who is set to marry basketball star Tony Parker in a French castle in July 7, was also approached by America's People magazine but decided to give its rival the rights.

OK! editor-in-chief Sara Ivens said: "These were obviously highly coveted photos, and we were thrilled to negotiate the exclusive rights. Covering great moments with the celebrities that we love is what the magazine's all about."

People magazine is said to be incensed about missing out on the much sought-after deal.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "People editors broke the story of their wedding and were working hard with Eva's reps to secure the picture rights. They were upset about losing the photos."

People magazine's coverage of the couple's reported break-up did not influence Eva's decision, it has been claimed.

Another source said: "It was entirely a matter of money, straight up to the final negotiation. Everyone wanted the photos - but everyone knows OK! will pay a lot for them."

People paid $4.1 million for the first photographs of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh.

Angelina Jolie Misjudged Pretty Boy Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie was left floored by Brad Pitt soon after they first met because she thought he'd be nothing more than a good guy she could race motorbikes with on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.

The actress quickly fell in love with the Hollywood hunk, who was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, and she admits she still can't believe he is "more man than any man" she's ever met.

She tells style magazine Marie Claire, "I wouldn't have, from a distance, said, 'That's a man who would be an amazing, dedicated father,' or 'That's a man who truly loves helping people or whom I'd love to talk politics with.' "He's a lot more than people assume he is."

Jolie credits her partner for helping her overcome periodical dark moments in her life - just by listening to her.

She adds, "I've had that problem in my life, where if I get emotional, I tend to just go (and) sit by myself. But he is a great listener, and he has given me wonderful advice."

Angelina Jolie Says The Whole World Feels Like Her "Family"

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Drops Off The Kids In School

Angelina Jolie feels a connection to people "around the world" and this sparked her decision to adopt three children.

When Angelina was asked if seeing displaced families in refugee camps inspired her to adopt, she said: "It might be part of the reason my kids are from some of those countries, and were on their own. I feel very close to children or people around the world and when I met my kids, they were, to me, extraordinary - and felt just like family. And that's how I feel about the world and other people's kids."

Angelina, who adopted her first child, five-year-old Maddox, from Cambodia, says she was destined to raise him.

She told CNN's Anderson Cooper: "I fell in love with the people of Cambodia and I was sitting with a little kid playing blocks and feeling like my son was somewhere there. And he was."
