It’s been more than a little annoying seeing pictures of stars on vacation in sunny locales over the holidays. Annoying because I’m here in snowy Michigan writing about them.
But at least one star stayed in the cold northern climate to continue work on her film. Angelina Jolie was seen on the set of “Salt,” where she sported a bangin’ wig and down coat. Now that I can identify with. Well, the down coat anyway.
“Salt” hits theaters July 23, 2010 and tells the story of CIA agent Evelyn Salt, who was accused of being a spy. It also stars …read more

Here’s the post for “Salt,” director Philip Noyce’s spy thriller due in theaters July 23, 2010.
Angelina Jolie stars as CIA officer Evelyn Salt, who swore an oath to duty, honor and loyalty – a loyalty that’s seriously tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. So she goes on the run, using all those CIA skills and experience as a covert operative to elude capture.
What do you think of the poster? She’s got the steely stare down pat, doesn’t she? Oh, those lips!

“The Tourist” is set for a 2011 release date, but it’s still collecting cast members at this point.
The latest word is that Johnny Depp is in talks to sign, replacing Sam Worthington, who replaced Tom Cruise. If it’s a go, Depp will play an American tourist who’s used by an Interpol agent to flush out a criminal with whom she once had an affair.
The agent will be played by Angelina Jolie, which would make for an awesome pairing with Depp. I’m trying to think if they’ve ever done a movie, and nothing comes to mind. If not, …read more

Filming is set to begin on the thriller “The Tourist” in early 2010, if you believe the IMDB page, that is. I can’t imagine how that’s going to happen, considering all the changes the film has endured.
First, we learned that Tom Cruise was out and Sam Worthington was in. Then director Bharat Nalluri was out, and is yet to be replaced. Now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Charlize Theron is out, and Angelina Jolie in talks to replace her.
Let’s hope they can figure it all out by the time filming starts. The film is a remake …read more

Celebrities don’t have to do good things with their fame, but Angelina Jolie uses her celebrity status for good in the world. As the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency, she’s been visiting with Iraqi children in a refugee camp near Damascus, Syria.
Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Syria visiting refugees which total 1.2 million in the country. Here’s my little part to draw attention to this humanitarian crisis: a photo of the star playing with Iraqi children…

Last week, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, among others, attended the Los Angeles premiere of "Inglorious Basterds" at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
Brad and Angie looked fabulous, as always, and it’s nice to see that Sarah Silverman got dressed up for the occasion, isn’t it? The movie hits theaters August 21, 2009.
 

Depending on which tabloid you’re reading, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are either pregnant, breaking up, living in separate houses, or locked in a bitter custody battle. This report says that Angie offered Brad $90 million for the kids. Believe it?

I’ve got some new pics of Angelina Jolie on the set of her upcoming movie “Salt.” She plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who (maybe) doubles as a Russian sleeper spy and has people after her believing she’s out to assassinate the President.
The film also stars Liev Schreiber as Winter, Evelyn’s ally in the Russian office of the CIA, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Peabody, a counterintelligence agent who wants to bring her down.
It’s directed by Phillip Noyce, who knows what he’s doing with this genre. His other movies include “Clear and Present Danger,” “The Saint,” and “Patriot Games.” “Salt” …read more
