Maddox Jolie-Pitt Steals Brangelina Spotlight

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Maddox attend LA "Invictus" premiere.

Jordan Strauss/WireImage Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the premiere of "Invictus" on Thursday night, and the fashion world stood up and took notice of their 8-year-old son, Maddox.


While two of the world's most recognized actors wore basic black, the eldest of the couple's six children made a splash on the red carpet, donning a fedora and a stylish scarf as he posed for pictures and spoke to family friend and film legend Clint Eastwood, who directed the film about the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. You know, just another typical night for your average third-grader.


And while it's not the first time that Maddox who was adopted by Jolie in 2002 from his native Cambodia has been exposed to the media's flashbulbs, it's certainly his first red-carpet upstaging of his glamorous parents' style.


The only attribute visible on Jolie or Pitt that was likely to draw the public's eye away from the boy's easy style was father Brad's facial hair, an unkempt goatee in dire need of grooming.


Still, Maddox seemed to enjoy the night out on the town without his siblings, as Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne were all noticeably absent. They'll have to wait their turn to steal the spotlight.

These press releases reek of Project Monarch placement to me.

They pull the same unbelievable crap with Suri Cruise.

Positioning them as adults, really. "Easy style, night out on the town, etc."

Anyone seen the latest pictures of P. Diddy or whomever with his naked Chippendale twins? Revolting.

U mean this pic? (dated Oct. 2008) F***ing disgusting is little to say:

From Writing ‘Wild Thing’ to Nostalgia for Yonkers


Robert Stolarik for The New York Times

"Mr. Taylor, 69, born James Wesley Voight, is the younger brother of the actor Jon Voight and Barry Voight, a geologist and volcano expert, and an uncle of Angelina Jolie. “Wild Thing” aside, he’s led a more interesting life than most of us, writing other hits like “Angel of the Morning,” making a living for years as a successful horse bettor, and then returning to music in the mid-1990s."


Chip Taylor, who wrote the lyrics for “Wild Thing,” in his hometown of Yonkers, N.Y.

Steve from New Rochelle, sitting in the corner booth at the Raceway Diner across the street from Yonkers Raceway, overheard some of the conversation at the next table, did quick research on his BlackBerry and then waited for the man with the longish white hair to get up before introducing himself.

“Ever hear the song ‘Wild Thing’?” he said to his daughter Isadora, an aspiring teacher. “This is the guy who wrote it.”

You win a permanent seat in the pop culture hall of fame for writing the words and music to one of the primal radio odes to youthful lust, made famous by the Troggs in 1966. So it was appropriate that Chip Taylor’s biggest claim to immortality was properly recognized before he popped into the kitchen to thank Noreen the waitress and headed back outside.

Still, plenty of musicians have done their best to capture the essence of raging hormones. Not many have felt the urge to create a country-ish homage to Yonkers, New York State’s fourth-largest city, but one of those unloved places, better known for what it is not than for what it is.

Which is why Mr. Taylor, the season of homecomings and long memories upon us, was tooling around his hometown and its environs on Thursday in search of the old Nepperhan train station (gone), the old Chat ’n’ Chew in Ardsley (gone), the memorial plaque to his dad, Elmer Voight, a former golf pro, on the 16th fairway at the Sunningdale Country Club in Scarsdale (still there), and his old house at 60 Ball Avenue overlooking the Saw Mill River Parkway (ditto, though barely recognizable).

Mr. Taylor, who these days lives in Manhattan, probably won’t achieve immortality for his new CD, “Yonkers NY,” though it’s been a surprising success now at No. 6 on the Americana record chart (“The List,” by Rosanne Cash, the daughter of his old friend and hero Johnny Cash, is No. 1). Still, as we all inch closer to that great Chat ’n’ Chew in the sky, Mr. Taylor gets his chance to remember things past — most quite personal, some kind of universal.

“The thing I really loved about Yonkers was this energy, this sense of a place where there was all this energy about to burst forth,” he said, as we drove through town. “I don’t know how to explain it, but it was a gritty place, full of people who worked hard and had all the character in the world. You might coast in Scarsdale. You didn’t coast in Yonkers.”

Mr. Taylor, 69, born James Wesley Voight, is the younger brother of the actor Jon Voight and Barry Voight, a geologist and volcano expert, and an uncle of Angelina Jolie. “Wild Thing” aside, he’s led a more interesting life than most of us, writing other hits like “Angel of the Morning,” making a living for years as a successful horse bettor, and then returning to music in the mid-1990s.

YONKERS has been around the block, too, once a bustling, unpretentious town full of factories and laborers, now trying to reinvent itself with fancy lofts and restaurants on the Hudson at one extreme and an increasingly poor and diverse population on the other. Mr. Taylor’s old working-class middle of Czechs, Italians, Poles and Irish is harder to find.

Mr. Taylor’s record, with threads of country and rockabilly, mandolin, fiddle and steel guitar, is an evocation of his family and Yonkers in the ’50s — the Mafiosi who showed up and sang opera at his parties, his basketball heroes at Roosevelt High who later got in trouble for shaving points in college games, the charcoal sky left behind by the Putnam Division trains that flattened the nickels his dad had left on the tracks.

The CD captures both an older, working man’s Westchester without the moneyed gloss and the eternal tug of the past — those places from everyone’s youth that invariably look smaller in real life than they seemed in memory.

The cityscape and hilly topography are pretty much the same, but most of that world is long gone, like the Otis Elevator factory, the Alexander Smith Carpet mill, the Anaconda Wire plant in Hastings where his aunt worked. People may work as hard now as they did then; it’s just harder to find places to work hard. It’s harder to burst through.

He won’t sell as many copies of “Yonkers NY” as the Troggs did of “Wild Thing,” but it’s one case for today’s splintered music business, where you can be as hyperlocal as the spirit moves you, like Tris McCall of Jersey City, who specializes in synth-rock visions of the culture and politicians of Hudson County.

Mr. Taylor figures there’s something universal in his tales of Yonkers. His fans in Sweden love the songs, he said. And if they didn’t?

“You’re from Yonkers, you have a certain pride in Yonkers,” he said. “And you don’t care if anybody gets it or not.”

Angelina Jolie Replaced in Ad Campaign

Angelina Jolie's model moment

Angelina Jolie is being replaced by a fashion model. After a three-year campaign as the face of luxury knitwear giant St. John, the company has announced that they're replacing the actress because Jolie's fame has "overshadowed the brand."


CEO Glenn McMahon explained to Women's Wear Daily that the move wasn't personal, saying "We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette." "We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John," McMahon continued, "We have evolved."

However, Jolie's replacement isn't just any model. It's British supermodel Karen Elson, whose claims to fame include her flame-red hair and allowing fashion photographer Steven Meisel to convince her to shave off her eyebrows for a photo shoot.


But, curiously, Elson--like Jolie--is probably most famous for her personal life. In 2005, she married rocker Jack White after knowing him for just a month. The two wed in a ceremony conducted by a shaman in a canoe on the Amazon river.


The couple has two children, Scarlett [name of the former and current MI6 chief fuhrer, Jack Scarlett], who was born in 2006, and Henry, born in 2007. They met when Elson starred in The White Stripes' video for the song "Blue Orchid."

This isn't the first time St. John has made changes, presumably to court younger consumers. Prior to Jolie and a brief campaign with Gisele, the company's spokesmodel was Kelly Gray, the daughter of the company's founders.

Gray's signature short blond hair, tan skin, and tendency to pose in beach settings with much-younger men (and occasionally, a tiger on a leash) defined the St. John brand for over two decades, so much so that she was known informally among St. John catalog-receivers and fashion bloggers as "the St. John lady."

Well, well... Isnt that dangerous for kids? Dying her hair since 4 yo? Gizz... I guess its about ANGIE's imposter's childhood rather...


"Angelina Jolie Says She's Really A Natural Blonde

Angelina JolieAngelina Jolie is really a blonde, and has been dying her hair dark since she was four years old. The actress claims her late mother Marcheline Bertrand started the trend because she didn't like the color of Jolie's locks.

And the 34 year old has been reaching for the dye ever since.

Jolie tells German magazine Das Neue, "My natural color is dark blonde. But when I was four or five, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that."

[artemis]

"Brad and Angelina are Probably Fine

Star magazine wants you to believe that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are moments away from shanking each other with their kids’ Lincoln Logs:

Ever since Angelina Jolie told Brad Pitt she wanted to explore an open relationship, the façade has cracked and it’s become a vicious game of spying, lying and secret lovers.

“There is no truce in sight for Brad an Angie,” an insider tells Star. “They can’t see eye to eye on anything and Brad’s had enough.”

Things have gotten so bad, sources say, the night before Zahara’s fifth birthday Brad stormed out of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC, where the family has been staying, and took off on a solo trip to France — even though a party had been planned for his little girl! Meanwhile, Angie has been spying on Brad and even looked into hiring a private detective to follow him!

“Brad can only take so much,” says a source. “This guy is just dying inside.”

Keep in mind that Star magazine is staffed entirely by compulsive liars and sociopaths, so chances are good that Brangelina is in little to no imminent danger of any sort of murder/suicide pact. I would also imagine that neither of them would ruin Zahara’s fifth birthday, either by fighting during the party or because one of them packed up and skipped out. I’m not one of the people under any sort of delusion that Brad and Angelina are angels made flesh, but I also don’t think either one of them would be inclined to dick around when it comes to their kids."

[skeptical]

I just saw a glimpse of the show The Troop while flipping through tv channels.

The actress, Gage Golightly (can the name be any more fake?) looks remarkably like a young/the original Angelina Jolie.

Here is a shot of her from IMDB. Some think she looks like Drew Barrymore, I think she is a carbon copy of Angie.

She looks like a mix of both plus Shakira.

Interesting t-shirt, dont ya think?

I am beginning to believe in the breeder theory.

What a lesson for Amy

Says GORDON SMART

WATCHING this video of how Angelina Jolie used to be underlines the transformation her life has undergone.

It should also serve as a wake-up call to drug-addled stars like PETE DOHERTY and AMY WINEHOUSE about what they could achieve if they stopped pumping rubbish into their bodies.

Angelina used to be someone who openly boasted about her class A drug use and kinky sexual exploits. Now clean and no longer spending money on a debauched lifestyle, a list of her good work and achievements as a mother would fill this website.

While Pete and Amy only leave their homes for the pub, Angie has travelled to Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Namibia, Cambodia and more as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Angelina is a true role model [AND OFFICAHELL COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS MEMBER!---beatlies]. I just wish certain other celebrities would follow her lead.

From heroin to heroineBy EMILY SMITH

ANGELINA JOLIE hangs out at a drugs den – in a grainy video of the Hollywood babe before she spectacularly turned her life around.
The Tomb Raider beauty is seen wide-eyed and babbling in the seedy amateur footage – as a woman next to her casually smokes heroin.

Angelina, now 32, pregnant and a model mum of four, has admitted turning to drugs when she was an up-and-coming actress.

She said: “I’ve done coke, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, everything. I gave them up long ago.”

Angelina does not take any drugs herself in the video.

But the shocking scenes show just how far she has come to now travel the Third World as a UN ambassador.

Fresh faced ... Hollywood superstar nowAt times her eyelids are so heavy she can barely keep them open. She is also seen with dishevelled hair as she rubs her teeth.

In the video, shot in 1999 when she was 23, the actress brags about loving sado-masochistic SEX – and KILLING her pets.

She says of taking part in sex games where someone is tied down or hurt: “It’s just a cool thing.”

She tells how her mouse met a tragic fate after she dyed it blue – and how a hamster and lizards also died.

The hamster got pneumonia after she took it into the shower while the lizards were left too long in the sun.

Angelina continues: “My snake I had – I tried killing him.” She recalls how at 12 she was “a bad girl – beating up my friends.”

The star was said to have been a regular at the filthy drugs den in New York’s Chelsea Hotel [directly across the street form the large HQ building of the Communist Party USA, on West 23rd St. in Manhattan]– where junkie SEX PISTOL SID VICIOUS stabbed his girlfriend to death.

Angelina, who has a daughter Shiloh, one, is pregnant with twins. She and actor BRAD PITT, 44, also adopted Maddox, six, Pax, four, and Zahara, three.

A fellow den regular said: “Even back then I remember her talking about how she’d adopt a huge family from around the world.”

Completely agree, she was replaced cca. 1995 - 1996.
