Angelina Jolie took to the red carpet tonight for the London premiere of her highly anticipated action film ‘Salt’.
A black and white carpet was laid for the arrival of Hollywood’s biggest female star who wore a nude-coloured Amanda Wakely sequinned dress.
Other ‘stars’ in attendence were Kerry Katona, Joe McElderry and Leona Lewis!
Angelina defended her daughter Shiloh’s tomboy style to Grazia Magazine.
I have a very strong-willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is. I think people think kids should be a certain way, but I feel they should wear what they feel like wearing and they should express themselves. Shiloh cried one night and said, ‘Please cut my hair off. I don’t want to have long hair.’ I’m not going to leave it long just because somebody thinks I should.”
Thoughts?
Angelina swooped into Tokyo for the premiere of her new movie ‘Salt’ yesterday.
The 35-year-old actress caused a frenzy as she hit the red carpet, wearing a flowing black Versace chiffon dress with a daring thigh high split.
In realted news ‘Salt’ opened at #2 in the US with sales of $36.5 Million – it couldn’t knock the blockbuster ‘Inception’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio from the top slot since it raked in another $43.5 Million its second week in theaters.
Angelina Jolie spoke about her new movie ‘Salt’ in a panel at Comic-Con this week.
Jolie said of her character:
There’s a part of her that’s not necessarily a good guy, and because of certain things that happened to her, she’s a bit damaged,” Angie said. “She’s not just heroic. She’s not even. She’s not just brave. There’s something a little off about her, and maybe there’s something off about me.”
‘Salt’ is released this weekend in the US.
Brad Pitt showed up completely clean-shaven for his first day of work on the L.A. set of his flick ‘Moneyball’.
The movie is about baseball team Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane [played by Brad Pitt], who attempts to draft players to the team using computer-generated analysis.
Today also marks Brad and Angelina Jolie’s twins; Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline second birthday.
Happy birthday to Knox and Vivienne!!
Angelina Jolie has new ink in a very intimate place: her inner-thigh.
“Ohh, it’s for Brad,” she said coyly when asked about the tattoo by MTV News Friday. “It is something for Brad.”
The Salt star (out July 23) refused to offer any more details. Fans first spotted the mark in the August issue of ‘Vanity Fair’, where the mom of six poses in super short shorts.
On having more kids:
No, I’m not pregnant [but] we’re not opposed to it. We want to make sure we can give everybody special time. They’re kids now, and can play together, but they’re going to need a lot more talking in the middle of the night, like I did with my mom for hours. We want to make sure we don’t build a family so big that we don’t have absolutely enough time to raise them each really well.”
On marrying Brad Pitt:
[We're not] against getting married [but] it’s just like we already are. Children are clearly a commitment, a bigger commitment [than marriage]. It’s for life.”
On taking a break from acting:
It’s not the most important thing in my life. Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful, it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury. Look, I’m at work today in the middle of Venice. But I don’t think I’ll do it much longer.Because I have a happy home….I got back from work last night, and everybody was playing music and dancing and I suddenly found myself dancing around with a bunch of little fun crazy people.”
On her kids:
Mad’s a real intellectual, which I can take no credit for genetically. He’s great at school, great at history. He feels like he could be a writer or travel the world and learn about places and things. Zahara’s got an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken. Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet. Knox and Viv are classic boy and girl. She’s really female. And he’s really a little dude.”
On how Shiloh dresses:
Like a little dude. Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes (regular) suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”
On being most like Shiloh growing up:
Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer…. I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around. But at some point, I got closed off, darker. I don’t remember anything happening. I think you just get hit with the realities of certain things in life, think too much, start to realize the world isn’t as you wished it would be, so you deepen. Then, as I had kids and got older—being goofy, lighter—it all came back.”
On Brad’s beard and what he’s been up to in Venice:
I love Brad in every state… He sculpts and designs. He makes furniture, sculpts things related to houses. Traditional male.”
On Brad with the kids:
I keep telling Brad he owes me. He’s had a few months off in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the children. And he’s such an artist and goes to the stone yards and the art exhibits, and loves being in such a cultural place.”
On a potential Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel:
People have tried. And it’s strange: do we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes personal now that we actually have kids. And if we work on it, we pull from our own life, which is funny to us, but you feel strange sharing too much. We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn’t anything original. It was just, Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated. Never great.”
On co-starring again with Brad:
I’d love to. We’ve talked about it. We’d have to figure out who’s going to watch the kids, but it’s really about finding the right thing, because we’ve looked. When you’re a couple, there are certain things people don’t want to see you do. It becomes too indulgent, too personal. I don’t think people want to see people who are really together intimate on-screen. Maybe we have to play bad guys that try to kill each other, so it’s just fun and aggressive, not dealing with some man-woman deal.”

Angelina Jolie made a private visit to Haiti this weekend.
Avoiding press attention, she returned to the earthquake-stricken island for meetings with Haitian and UN officials.
The visit by the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was not announced, to keep it low-profile.
To mark World Refugee Day she also released a video, showing the plight of Ecuadorian people living in the Amazon Basin.
Jolie told Ecuadorian reporters:
It’s been eight years since I was last here and UNHCR’s presence has grown considerably.’They are going into the thickest parts of the jungle to reach the refugees, who are living in very remote locations and in desperate conditions. I wanted to come back and meet with vulnerable people and focus on violence against women and unaccompanied minors. I am so happy to be able to reconnect with some familiar faces, refugees I had met with during my 2002 trip,’ she concluded.
