Angelina Jolie

Come on. This is just mean.

While it's not official yet - but that's why we're called The Hollywood GOSSIP - the following announcement should soon be made:

• Angelina Jolie will star in a film produced at the same company Brad Pitt created with his former flame, Jennifer Aniston. Moreover, this is a role initially considered as a potential Oscar nominee for Aniston.

Ouch.

According to reports, negotiations are ongoing for Jolie to take a part if "A Mighty Heart," the biopic about slain Wall Street Journal Middle East correspondent Daniel Pearl. It was penned by his widow, Marianne Pearl.

At least Aniston has some heart-warming news in which she can find comfort. Her and Vince Vaughn are officially engaged, meaning the Vinnifer/Brangelina steel cage match can only be a year or so away.

There's no rest for a new mother. No matter how beautiful she is.

Amidst reports that there are nude, pregnant portraints of herself out there, Angelina Jolie is set to take her first acting job since the birth of her and Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, on May 27.

The Oscar winner will voice a character in the DreamWorks animated feature Kung Fu Panda. Jolie will portray Tigress, an animal that teaches martial arts to Po the Panda. the voice of Po? Funny man - and new father! - Jack Black.

The movie will be released next May. According to Variety, Po works as a waiter in a noodle shop but needs to build up his strength. That's where Tigress/Jolie comes. Naturally.

Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Ian McShane and Lucy Liu are also in the cast.

Also, in December Jolie will actually be seen in The Good Shepherd, a CIA drama directed by Robert De Niro and costarring De Niro and Matt Damon. This will be the first starring vehicle for Angelina since Mr. and Mrs. Smith; where, of course, she fell for Pitt.

What, you thought Britney Spears cornered the market on being nude and pregnant?

Angelina Jolie has a thing or two to say on the matter; or at least a few portraits to combat Britney's Harpers Bazaar photo shoot.

The female half of Brangelina commissioned American artist Don Bachardy to paint three murals of her during different stages of her pregnancy. Oddly enough, though, Jolie doesn't seem to crave the same, never-ending publicity as Spears.

The revealing paintings may never been seen by the public, as they're likely to remain in Angelina's private collection. According to a source:

"Angelina has asked [Bachardy] not to talk about or show the portraits to anyone."

The artist - who has also painted Hollywood legends Rita Hayworth, Jack Nicholson (not naked and/or pregnant, presumably) and Bette Davis - flew to Paris and Namibia to paint Jolie before she gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel last month.

None of this seems very fair. Brad Pitt gets to see Angelina naked all the time. All The Gossip asks for is a mural above our fireplace to bow down to every night. Is that really too much?

Move over, Angelina Jolie. People may wish to kiss you - all over! - but a recent poll conducted by the British magazine, Eve, ranks a former Sex and the City star above you as the most beautiful woman in the world.

That's right, after spending years searching for her prince, Charlotte (aka Kristin Davis) could have her pick of the globe right now. She ranked first in the aforementioned survey, ahead of such jaw-droppers as Jolie, Halle Berry and Charlize Theron!

The Gossip could not uncover just what the Brits were smoking at the time of the poll, but all the women in the top ten are over 30 years old. Sorry, Lindsay and Jessica. Check out the results:

1. Kristin Davis
2. Catherine Zeta-Jones
3. Halle Berry
4. Nicole Kidman
5. Charlize Theron
6. Kate Beckinsale
7. Kate Winslet
8. Eva Longoria
9. Jennifer Aniston
10. Angelina Jolie

Look, UK, we understand you drive on the wrong side of the road. But does that mean you must have the wrong taste in ladies, as well? No offense, Kristin. Call us.

This just in, folks: the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic and Angelina Jolie possesses the world's most kissable lips.

The latter was voted upon in a poll conducted by beverage manufactuer, Cafe Kiss, as England prepared to National Kissing Day on Thursday.

Jolie nabbed the top spot over Scarlett Johansson. Also included in the top five was Keira Knightley, whose Pirates of the Carribean kiss was been documented by The Gossip late last week.

If any of the women involved in the survey would like our staff to comment on the results, we're puckered up and ready to stick our nose tongue into such business.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie pictures cause more than a stir within the gossip mill - they can cause legal action to be taken. Follow along as we relay this confounding, astounding story ...

Reports state the FBI and Massachusetts authorities raided a Westfield, MA home Tuesday night and seized photos of a baby shower held by Brangelina.

The bizarre story starts in Namibia, where the shower was thrown. James Haven, Jolie's scary brother, took a number of pictures of the couple celebrating the birth of Shiloh. When he returned to L.A., his camera brokem so he took it to Best Buy and asked them to fix it under the warranty.

The store sent the camera to Precision Camera and Video Repair in Enfield, Connecticut. Makes sense, right?

At Precision, sources claim two employees, Bill Keyes and Adam Beckwith, discovered the pictures and Beckwith went ahead downloading them. After that - according to Keyes' mother, Madelon - her 36-year-old son was excited, showed her the pictures and sent an email to someone in California. Was this email an attempt tp sale the photos?.

"I don't think he would do something like that," Madelon said.

However, a sergeant from the Westfield Police Department confirmed that authorities searched Keyes' home and seized his computer. The sergeant also said a search warrant was executed at Precision Camera and Video Repair, where the actual camera that took the pictures was also taken.

Neither Keyes or Beckwith were arrested and the case is now in the hands of the LA County District Attorney. The sergeant says neither man violated Massachusetts law, but California laws are different.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney had no comment because the investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed. The Gossip, however, has something to say:

This story makes Lil Kim look normal.

The Gossip will abide by the letter sent out to various media outlets by the lawyers for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. We respect their privacy.

The statement was sent as a response to "a digital memory card containing a number of personal copyright protected photographs" of Brangelina and their children. The item has been stolen and offered for sale.

Included among these Namibian photos are images from a private baby shower. As much as wish to see a wet Angelina, we've refrained from ponying up the dough for such persona pics.

The email, written by a lawyer for the powerhouse law firm of Lavely & Singer, threatens that anyone who publishes the photos "will be liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief."

We don't want any trouble, thank you very much! But we will mention this adorable picture of Shiloh one more time because that cutie deserves a world of attention.

What this really necessary? If a paparazzo - or ANYone - wants to know about Brangelina, all he needs to do is visit The Hollywood Gossip.

Apparently no one mentioed this to Clint Brewer. The idiotic member of the phony press was arrested Thursday after he was discovered hiding in bushes outside a daycare center attended by Angelina Jolie's adopted son, authorities said.

Brewer, 25, was trying to take pictures of four-year-old Maddox, according to Cindy Guagenti, a Brad Pitt's. He was detained by security shortly before 11 a.m. and the property's owner made a citizen's arrest. Now that's a solid citizen right there!

Deputies arrested Brewer on suspicion of trespassing. He was later released on $1,000 bail.

It may seem as though everyone in the world has seen Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, but there had been one notable exception: the baby's grandmother.

Until now. Angelina Jolie finally introduced her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to Shiloh this week. Jolie had wanted her mother to be at the birth of Shiloh, but Marcheline is suffering from terminal cancer. She was too ill to fly to Namibia.

According to The Sun, a source revealed: "Angelina and her mom are really close. Their time apart during the latter stages of her pregnancy was tough. She originally wanted to give birth to Shiloh in France - the country where her mum was born and raised.

But Marcheline simply wasn't well enough to make the long-haul flight to be by her daughter's side."

The source went on to state that Jolie has been determined to let her mom hold Shiloh before it was too late. Emotions overflowed once this event finally took place.

A beautiful couple. Gods among mortals. Colonial overlords.

Brangelina can now lay claim to all of those titles, the latter of which was thrust upon them by the Namibia's National Society For Human Rights (NSHR). Based on the treatment Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt received in Namibia in the weeks leading up to the birth of their daughter, Shiloh, last month, a NSHR spokesman said:

"To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power."

The representative accused the superstar couple of "using heavy-handed and brutal tactics" to get the African country's government to aid their desire for total privacy. That's rough language. Wonder what this person had to say about Taking Lives.
