Angelina Jolie to star in 'Gucci' drama

2009-10-26T13:38:00.000-07:00

'Titanic' star Leonardo Di Caprio is being approached to play ex-husband to Jolie's onscreen avatar in the movie, reported Variety magazine.
Should the deal go through, the 34-year-old actress is expected to play Patrizia Reggiano, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci who was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting Maurizio's murder.
The film, named 'Gucci' and to be directed by Ridley Scott, will center on Gucci and the turnaround he brought to the Gucci empire before he was murdered in front of his Milan apartment in 1995.
Fox 2000, producers of the film, is looking forward to hire a scribe to rewrite the script in hopes that it will recapture the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and '80s.
Filming of the movie is slated to start next year.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt make a rare public appearance with Knox and Vivienne as they treat the twins to ice cream

This week, reality stars are putting their feet down. Say the Gosselin children on the cover of OK!, "STOP WRECKING OUR LIVES!" Says Khloe Kardashian on the cover of Life & Style, "DON'T CALL ME FAT!" But, really, all this is minor compared to the week's earth-shattering event: Someone took new pictures of Knox and Vivienne. Find out in the 'zines where the Jolie-Pitt twins were spotted!

Star theorizes that things are still tense between Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff because one of the mag's spies allegedly saw him putting liquid soap in her cup of tea at a Lipton event in Los Angeles. Her handlers prevented her from drinking it and, I hope, explained to Maksim that if he's trying to get Karina to clean up her act, he's thinking too literally.

An OK! headline promises the details of Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson's "WILD PARTIES" in Vancouver, but the article reveals these consist of steakhouse dinners, riding in a chauffeured Prius, "gentle kissing," "acting totally silly" and, in Rob's case, a trip to a local dive called Loose Moose, where a fan tells OK! that seeing him was "like finding Elvis alive." Something tells me that Elvis could have gotten in a little more trouble than these kids.

In the wake of her split with Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel is prepping for a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, says Star. She'll scale the Tanzanian peak in January and has been practicing on the climbing wall at L.A.'s Rockreation Sport Climbing Center. She's also sleeping in a $3,000 altitude-bed system that preps her body for high elevation. Sounds like she's determined to rise above.

Life & Style reports 45-year-old movie producer Sonja Morgan is joining "The Real Housewives of New York City." The frosty-looking blond, once married to the great-grandson of financier J.P. Morgan, also was recently sued for breach of contract for a movie in which John Travolta had been tapped to star, and has a $7 million judgment against her. "I am appealing," she tells the mag. (She means that in the legal sense.)

Kiss just released their 19th studio album, and Us Weekly asked Gene Simmons what his kids think of his music career. "That their dad's cool!" he answers. "He spits fire and throws up blood." I was about to make fun of this response but, frankly, in the world of celebrity dads, at least this one has a job.

On page 56 of Us Weekly, Heidi Montag welcomes you to the special section "What's in My Closet." I learned that Spencer Pratt's wife has "so many Hermès belts and bangles because H is for Heidi. The store is made for me." Plus, Carrie Ann Inaba loves hats because she feels "cool and mysterious in them," and Juliette Lewis doesn't like leaving home without feathers incorporated into her outfit. And you thought the answer to "What's in My Closet" was going to be "skeletons."

PARTY PLANNER ANGELINA JOLIE

Angelina Jolie loves arranging parties for her six kids so they can celebrate being one year older.

Angelina Jolie thinks birthdays are the "greatest pleasure" in life.

The 34-year-old actress, who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt, loves nothing better than arranging parties for her kids so they can celebrate being one year older.

She said: "We have birthdays all year round! It's chaos but we do manage somehow - we just try to have a wonderful time. Now the older kids get involved in planning the birthdays for the younger kids. It's one of the greatest pleasures of life."

Angelina added she and Brad take their parenting duties incredibly seriously, and do their best to ensure they both spend enough time alone with each of their children.

They are also keen to give their offspring rounded educations, and have decided to teach them about every religion in the world so they can decide for themselves if they want to follow any.

Angelina added: "We're a spiritual family, although we don't belong to one specific. We're very interested in all types of religions, especially Buddhism. We discussed it and agreed that at home we will celebrate and learn about each religion."

Angelina Jolie: Ethiopia Visit With Zahara and Shiloh

For Zahara Jolie-Pitt, a recent family trip to Africa also turned into a visit to her world back home.

Angelina Jolie took a side trip during a goodwill mission to Kenya, flying to Ethiopia for two days with daughters Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 3. This was the first time Z had returned to her home country since being adopted four years ago.

“One priority for them on the trip was looking for a place to build a TB and AIDS clinic in Zahara’s name,” People reports - Z’s big brother Maddox, 8, already has an organization in his name in Cambodia that aids ill and underprivileged kids.

Angelina, a Goodwill Ambassador, also visited Dabaab Refugee Camp on her trip, a camp that over 300,000 Somali refugees call home.

Megan Fox vs. Angelina Jolie for Starring Role in Barbarella?

2009-09-17T10:40:00.000-07:00

Forget Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie has a new celebrity opponent with an all too familiar look about her. Stemming from a striking resemblance, recent Internet reports have pitted Angelina against Transformers starlet Megan Fox, dubbing Megan “the next Angelina Jolie.”

Followers of the feud now wait with bated breath thanks to MSN Entertainment’s recent announcement of both women vying for the staring role of the remake of the 1960’s classic Barbarella, a role made iconic by Jane Fonda.

For her part, Megan, 23, says all the Barbarella buzz about the head-to-head with Angie is just a load of rumors. CNN reports from the Toronto Film Festival that Megan wouldn’t say no, if and when that call comes, but it hasn’t yet. She adds that she and Angie, 34, aren’t “really in the same age group.” Ouch.

Metaphorical punches were first thrown when Megan reportedly told BBC News that she looked “way better than her [Angelina].”

While both Megan and Angelina maintain a sultry reputation, the public has wasted no time circulating internet rumors of the two partaking in intense and dirty competition for the title of sexiest celeb.
