For Angelina Jolie, sex scenes are easy

4 December 2009 11:26 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Angelina Jolie and sex pretty much go together like peanut butter and jelly, pants and shirts and, yes, even Megan Fox and photo shoots. She’s not the kind of person that has a problem getting naked and never had an issue filming sex scenes in her movies.

“I think it’s a bigger deal to be emotionally naked,” said Jolie, who filmed racy sex scenes with actor Ethan Hawke in the 2004 movie Taking Lives. She also shot “El Lesbian” scenes in Gia. “The thing is, if it’s important to the film, then just do it. It’s not a big deal to be naked.”

Mrs. Bradd Pitt added: “As for love scenes, it’s a strange thing for me but I can do a sex or love scene quite easily. A soul connection is very difficult. A physical thing is, for me, very easy. You find something about »

Angelina Jolie Goes Gucci?

21 October 2009 7:03 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Over three years after word hit that Ridley Scott was going to dive into the world of Gucci, the project is finally picking up steam. And not just any steam -- femme fatale flavor with Angelina Jolie. Variety reports that the actress, who is already circling The Tourist, is now talking with Scott about whether she should jump on the Gucci train to play Patrizia Reggiano. That's Maurizio Gucci's ex, the woman who got a 29-year sentence for plotting his murder.

Fox 2000 wants to get things going next year, so the push is on. The script has been rewritten, given priority by the studio, and will focus on " the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and '80s, when the family was selling $500 million in product annually." It will look into the familial fights, power struggles, and how the man was "gunned down in front of »

Angelina Jolie Is Today's Kickass Lady For The Ridley Scott 'Alien' Prequel

6 August 2009 1:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

All of us here at MTV are excited for Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequel. The director hasn't had anything to do with the series since the 1979 original, which is a bonafide classic. To honor Scott and his lasting contribution to badass women in film, we've paired up the lovely duo of MTV contributor Jenni Miller and Photoshop ninja/digital producer Sohyung Kang to produce a magical list of five leading ladies who could rock Ripley.

Although there aren't any hard and fast deets out there concerning Ridley Scott's prequel to "Alien," I've got my fingers crossed for a female badass to rival Sigourney Weaver's iconic Ripley. Since Weaver has stated publicly she doesn't think Ripley could be part of an "Alien" prequel, I have a few suggestions as to who could fulfill the role of cinema's favorite alien-killing, kitty-saving, space-feminist.

Remember when Angelina Jolie wasn't the second coming of Mother Theresa? »

Annalynne McCord hopes to hook up with Rumer Willis on "90210"

17 July 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Remember when Kelly and Donna went to a lesbian bar last first on the new 90210? Then there was the bisexual cheerleader Christina that Dixon was flirting with before finding out she has a girlfriend in the choir.

Well it’s a good thing we know they’re comfortable with gal pals because then we found out Rumer Willis will be joining the cast this season, guest starring as Gia, “a punky cute lesbian” who joins Navid, Adrianna and Silver as part of the school’s news show, Blaze News.

Annalynne McCord, who plays queen bitch Naomi, had this to say about her hopes for Rumer’s character:

Naomi gets drunk, and she gets a little crazy. Liam's watching. Naomi wants to experiment. And then a little lip-on-lip action with Rumer Willis can't hurt anybody, right? How fabulous would that be. They totally need to make it happen!

Um, no, they »

Is Megan Fox the Next Angelina Jolie? As If!

14 June 2009 12:06 PM, PDT | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »

Clamoring for a new It Girl now that superstar Angelina Jolie has seemingly settled down into a life of domestic bliss, Megan Fox has emerged as Jolie's heir apparent. But can the 23-year-old Transformers hottie really fill Angelina's shoes? Gimme a break. In 1997, Jolie, then 22, won numerous accolades for her work in the HBO movie George Wallace, including a Golden Globe award. She also won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for Gia. Two years later, Angelina won an Academy Award for Girl, Interrupted. Since then, she has been nominated for numerous other acting awards, most recently for A Mighty Heart and Changeling. Jolie has also enjoyed incredible box office success in action movies such as the Lara Croft films, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Wanted. Combined, her films have grossed over $1.2 billion. Contrast Jolie's accomplishments with Megan Fox's star-making turn as "the hot girl" in the 2007 blockbuster Transformers, »

Mitchell's 'Lucky' Dumpster Shirt Landed Her Jolie Film

22 February 2009 5:45 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Elizabeth Mitchell has vowed never to throw away a shirt she found in the trash as a struggling actress - because the old garment landed her the role as Angelina Jolie's lesbian lover in Gia.

The Lost star shared a bed with Hollywood beauty Jolie in the 1998 TV movie, based on the life of top 1970s fashion model Gia Carangi - and she is convinced she owes her screen career to the tattered shirt.

She says, "It was a man's shirt, but it looked expensive, and I was broke and sleeping on floors - so I took it.

"(Then) good things started happening. It's my lucky charm!" »

Angelina Jolie is a money-maker

16 February 2009 11:30 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Angelina Jolie may have peaked for most of us years ago, but according to Forbes magazine, she’s still a “crucial” moneymaker in the movie industry. And with all those babies to support, she needs to be.

Jolie was the only woman to make it into the top ten list Forbes compiled to show who is bringing in the big money in Hollywood. Will Smith was the number one sure thing at the box office, and Angelina tied with Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and boyfriend Brad Pitt for a close second. Talk about a power couple.

“It's an all-star cast that shows consistent muscle in attracting financing and generating global box office revenues,” according to Forbes. “They also have hefty celebrity personas that grab press attention, creating valuable awareness for their projects. There's a considerable amount of acting talent there, too.”

Question: I had just finished watching Run Fatboy Run, and I was raving to my friend about how beautiful and talented I think Thandie Newton is. My friend said that Thandie is bisexual...is this true? Is she definitely bisexual?

— Lindsey, New Orleans, Louisiana

Thandie Newton

Answer: Since it's really up to the individual in question to officially label their sexual orientation, I think it's safer to say that she's "potentially" bisexual.

Actress Thandie Newton (W., Crash) is married to director Ol Parker, who made many new lesbian friends when he wrote and directed the romantic comedy Imagine Me & You (2005), starring Piper Perabo and Lena Headey. »
