I think we can put any doubts about Angelina Jolie not eating to rest after seeing her eat a piece of birthday cake for Salt director Simon West.
I love how she kept the handcuff on while she chowed down on that yummy chocolate cake. And I think after she is done filming Salt, she get her hair done like the wig she is wearing because that style looks really good on her.

Burly bodyguard Mickey Brett has tangled with some tough customers, but none so tough as his former clients Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Once they entrusted their lives, and those of their children, to Brett. But now that they’ve learned he’s been thinking about revealing their intimacies in a book, the star couple has come down on him with the fury of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

Pitt and Jolie, who played married assassins in that movie, have recruited some of the most fearsome libel attorneys in the U.S. and the U.K. to
make sure Brett’s lips stay zipped.

Recently we obtained a proposal for a memoir and a TV show, both offering Brett’s first-person account of his years guarding the likes of Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sly Stallone and Richard Gere.

The main focus of the pitches, though, was Brangelina. Suffice it to say that Brett had fond memories of Jolie, whom he had been protecting since 2001, and less fond recollections of Pitt.

Seeking comment from them, we received a bracing phone call from Marty Singer, the couple’s American litigator.

Singer alleged that Brett wasn’t a reliable source. In fact, he was a “pathological liar.” He said Brett’s lies to U.S. Immigration officials here had led to his being barred from entering this country. Singer said that only recently did Pitt and Jolie discover that Brett, who’d claimed he was a British SAS commando, never even served in the military.

Singer noted that in 1993 Brett was questioned in the murder of British tycoon Donald Urquhart, though he was later released. In 2006, Brett was arrested for assaulting a restaurant owner in Namibia. The same year, in India, he was accused of choking a photographer and arrested for roughing up and making racial insults against some parents who were trying to pick up their kids.

All told, Singer said, Brett had been convicted 11 times of various crimes.

Pitt and Jolie had repeatedly come to Brett’s defense. But they apparently came to have doubts about his style of problem-solving.

As for his book and TV proposals, Singer said Brett was bound by a confidentiality agreement. According to Singer, Brett has now stated that he’d never signed off on the pitches and that many of the yarns attributed to him were fabricated by his ghost writer.

Brett’s attorneys told us: “Our client disputes what has apparently been said by Mr. Singer, but is not in a position to comment further at this stage.”
Brett’s ghost writer, Robin McGibbon, insists that he did not embellish the bodyguard’s stories.

“Mickey was definitely going to consider a book or TV deal if the offer was good enough,” says McGibbon. But at this point, he said, “there’s not going to be any book.”

The 33-year-old actress was in Washington, DC, filming her upcoming spy thriller Salt with co-star Liev Schreiber.

Angelina Jolie, who sports both brunette and blonde coifs in the flick, was in straw-hair mode today, and was apparently filming a scene that required her to dash around in an urgent manner.

And she looked pretty good doing it.

Angelina, 33, co-stars with Liev Schreiber in Salt, which will feature the brunette stunner in a variety of exotic costumes and wigs. So is Agent Salt a traitor or not? That’s what the audience will try to find out.

Shooting will continue in D.C. through March 10 near L’Enfant Plaza, the Navy Memorial and Pennsylvania Avenue, reports the Washington Post.

Jennifer Aniston didn’t “reunite” with ex-husband Brad Pitt and his leading lady Angelina Jolie on the Oscars red carpet like many had hoped, but that’s not because Jen has a problem with the Tinseltown twosome … was there another method in the madness?

Aniston skipped out of official carpet duties but the mechanics of her presenting role were almost strategically choreographed. During the live telecast the former “Friends” starlet slightly signaled her head (not once, but twice) directly toward the front-row couple which prompted close-ups of Brad and Angelina, who were obviously well-prepared for the spotlighted moment and had their stick-on-smiles in-place throughout her whole segment.

“It was a bit awkward, everyone was looking and they were trying to play it cool,” said an insider, adding that as soon as Aniston left the stage they switched back into normalcy and exchanged a quick whisper.

It was also interesting that during the Best Actor acceptance speech they opted for an over-the-shoulder shot of the audience from the winner’s perspective on-stage with Aniston in clear view and notably this was the one and only time that angle was used in the show. So had that been Brad instead of Sean Penn , it would have been a very clear set-up of Aniston’s reaction to her ex taking the honors …

“It’s a bit nerve-wracking knowing everyone is watching but Jen is totally ready for it. She knows it’s going to happen sooner or later,” said a source close to Aniston. “She’s in a really good place now, she’s ready to get it over with and move on.”

John Mayer and Aniston were also all-smiles as Nicole Kidman announced Angelina Jolie’s nomination (the camera of course caught that too) and we’re told Aniston had some idea she would be placed close to Brangelina in the theater (she was one row behind and roughly a dozen seats away) and didn’t have a problem with it.

The “Marley & Me” actress was quick to arrive at Vanity Fair’s super swanky post-party with beau John Mayer, knowing very well that Brangelina could make a cameo. According to inside sources, Pitt and Jolie were definitely invited and were tipped to swing by but that didn’t seem to concern Aniston who was all over her new man well into the early hours.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrive at the Academy Awards.

THE Academy Awards could bring Jennifer Aniston and “Changeling” Best Actress nominee Angelina Jolie face-to-face. Aniston has yet to turn up at a single event that Jolie has attended since Jolie stole Brad Pitt away four years ago on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” But we hear Oscar event planners have timed the red-carpet arrivals of the two rivals only a few minutes apart, meaning they could run into each other. “Jen, who usually complains about her spot, has not said a word this time be cause she’s bringing John Mayer,” says a source. Asked in last month’s GQ whether she speaks to Jolie, Aniston re plied, “No. Nuh-uh,” and forced a little tongue-biting grin. Says our spy: “It’s funny now, because Jen was the one who made a huge deal over not running into them in the past, and now she’s OK with being placed right near Angie.”

Angelina Jolie, a Hollywood star deeply involved in the plight of refugees, has called on the Thai government to respect the human rights of Myanmar’s Rohinyga boat people whom Thai authorities have pushed out to sea in recent weeks, a U.N. spokeswoman said Friday.

Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, are on a visit to Thailand, where on Wednesday they toured one of several camps along the Thai-Myanmar border sheltering refugees from Myanmar’s military regime.

U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman Kitt McKinsey told AP Television News that it was a coincidence that Jolie’s visit came just as the plight of the Rohingyas was catching world attention.

The Rohingya, denied citizenship in their native land, have been trying to land in Thailand after treacherous sea journeys only to be towed back to sea and cast adrift by the Thai Navy. Indian officials, who rescued some, believe hundreds perished.

“She was extremely touched by the plight of the Rohingya people. She expressed the hope that the human rights of the Rohingya people will be respected just as the human rights of everyone in the world should be respected,” McKinsey said.

“I also hope the Rohingya situation stabilizes and their life in Myanmar improves so the people do not feel the desperate need to flee, especially considering how dangerous their journey has become,” Jolie was earlier quoted as saying.

The Rohingya, from western Myanmar, represent just a part of Myanmar’s refugee exodus.

For decades, hundreds of thousands of others - most from other ethnic minorities - have fled by land across the country’s eastern border to Thailand.

Most are civilians caught up in fighting between Myanmar government troops and ethnic insurgents. Many flee to Thai refugee camps, where they remain for years with little chance of resettlement in third countries.

On Wednesday, Jolie slapped a bright blue U.N. baseball cap on her head and toured the bamboo huts of the Ban Mai Nai Soi camp, home to 18,111 mainly ethnic Karenni refugees, just two miles (three kilometers) from the Myanmar border, near the northern Thai town of Mae Hong Son.

There are between 116,000 and 135,000 refugees at camps along the border.

Jolie, 33, sat down in a two-room house on stilts and talked with a female refugee, according to an account of the visit given Thursday in a press release by the U.N. refugee agency.

Jolie asked one 26-year-old woman, Pan Sein, whether she was afraid when she made her perilous journey last year from her home village in Myanmar’s Kayah State.

“Yes, I was scared,” Pan Sein replied. “It was dangerous to flee, but even more dangerous to stay in my village.”

This was Jolie’s third visit to Thailand to meet with refugees and her mission has taken her to more than 20 countries to comfort the unwanted.

“I was saddened to meet a 21-year-old woman who was born in a refugee camp, who has never even been out of the camp and is now raising her own child in a camp,” Jolie said.

Thailand recognizes most at the border camps as refugees with legitimate fear of returning to their homeland, but does not accord the Muslim Rohingyas the same status, and seeks to send them away.

“Visiting Ban Mai Nai Soi and seeing how hospitable Thailand has been to 111,000 mostly Karen and Karenni refugees over the years makes me hope that Thailand will be just as generous to the Rohingya refugees who are now arriving on their shores,” Jolie said.

McKinsey said the couple arrived in Thailand by private jet and were now on “private time.” She said she did not know when they would leave the country.
