documentary about Angelina Jolie wins in India

Isn’t that cool?? But wait til you here this: the documentary was made by a student of the Films & Television Institute of India (FTII) during his second year! According to reports, 30-year old Saurav Dey trailed Angelina Jolie two years ago when she was filming “A Mighty Heart” in Pune and made his experience a documentary. The project entitled “Chasing Angelina Jolie” won Saurev an Indian Documentary Producers’ Association (IDPA) award held in Mumbai last Saturday. The film student said his project was not pre-planned but the idea of chasing Brangelina on their Indian sojourn clicked when he read about it in the newspapers. Recounting his experience he said,

“Made in English (with a smattering of Hindi in it), the film is about our steps in trying to get her. But we could not interact with her or Brad, at all. However, we made sure not to cross the ethical boundary during the making of the film. It’s a reality documentary showing everything that happened on our way. “

Saurav picked up scraps of information as best as he could from a couple of senior film directors as well as the journalists who were chasing the Hollywood hot shot couple. Terming it as a “fun documentary film” Saurav says he knew that it would be a hit with the youth but did not expect to receive an award for it. In fact, he was a tad skeptical about the manner in which his documentary would be received. Guess the judges love seeing Angelina Jolie, ergo the award! Hehe!

Jolie-Pitt clan lands in France!

Yep, this is not gossip anymore. Hehe! According to E! News, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, their 4 kids plus a retinue of bodyguards and nannies finally arrived in France after speculations of such trip. The celebrity family arrived early Monday night via private jet at Nice airport with two nannies and three security guards says an onlooker. The Jolie-Pitt clan is currently staying in Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Villa Maryland in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera. A source reveals,

“It’s a breathtaking villa with views out over the Mediterranean [Sea] and they have roughly 12 staff on hand at all times to get them anything they need. They’ve stayed there before and love the house, it’s very private and no one can see in.”

TSK! Tough luck on the paparazzi covering Brad, Angie, and their kids. But if they got a shot, that would surely be expensive! ;-) Anyway, an insider further reveals that the pregnant Angelina Jolie will just be relaxing while Brad Pitt goes house-hunting.

“They love France and will now be here until after the babies are born and Angie is looking at Marseille hospitals as a potential place to give birth.”

The Jolie-Pitt family also stayed at Paul Allen’s villa for a week during Angelina’s pregnancy with Shiloh in the early summer of 2006. The Wanted actress met Allen, who helped bankroll DreamWorks, when she was filming Shark Tale in 2004.

Angelina Jolie headed to France?

angelinajolie-cfr5.jpgTabloids are reporting that the pregnant with twins actress will go to France in the coming month (she’ll be gestating 7 months then). The question: is it film-related or will she give birth there? Previously, it has being widely rumored that Angelina Jolie will give birth in France in honor of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand. The rumors stopped when the Jolie-Pitt clan hid away in a Texas ranch while Brad Pitt filmed A Tree of Life. So why did this France-brith thingy became alive again? Coz it appears that Angelina Jolie is indeed headed to France next month.

According to an insider, the mother of four is going to promote two new films she has ready for the 61st Cannes Film Festival in May. If Angie will stay with the French after the festival, it would be a definite indication that she will give birth there. Us Weekly magazine reported that Angelina Jolie will definitely be on hand for the debut of “The Changeling” (directed by Clint Eastwood) and according to Variety it is already building buzz to take home the top prize, the Palme d’Or. Her animated adventure, Kung Fu Panda will also be shown at the film festival.

Angelina Jolie suffers ankle injury!

Yeah, bad news for someone who is pregnant. Tsk! According to reports, Angelina Jolie flew from Texas to Los Angeles to have her ankle injury checked by her own doctor. A source of Life and Style revealed,

“At first she thought it was just a twisted ankle or something. But everyone was worried because of the pregnancy and previous problems she’s had with leg swelling. Angelina didn’t want to take any chances, and everyone agreed. Brad was really worried.”

Angelina Jolie, who is reportedly 6 months pregnant with twins, was alarmed some more when her ankle injury turned into something even more serious, and the pain began to worsen. The insider further shared,

“Her legs were swelling and she was getting really wobbly and starting to feel sick. Angelina’s medical team had advised her to head to the nearest medical facility if the situation got worse.”

The pain then grew so severe that Brad Pitt considered making an emergency landing in their private Gulfstream jet. But the “Wanted” actress insisted they continue on to LA. Shortly after 3 pm, the jet landed at Burbank airport, where a fleet of blacked-out SUVs were waiting, along with Angie’s physician. Brangelina were then rushed to their home in Los Feliz, where a team of nurses was also waiting for them. Get well soon Angie!!! =)

Brad Pitt visits grandma in Shawnee

brad-pitt-idol-gives-back.jpgWhich brought happiness to the old lady! Too sweet! =) According to reports, Brad Pitt has not lived in Shawnee since he was a baby, but he and Angelina Jolie landed their private plane for a few hours there last Thursday for a birthday visit with the actor’s grandmother, Betty Russell. Their plane landed at Shawnee Regional Airport about 11:15 am and the celebrities then spent time with several family members who gathered for the old lady’s birthday. Betty Russell shared,

“It was just a good, close visit … [He visits] not often at all. No, I guess I’ve not seen him since I went out for the wedding when he married Jennifer (Aniston).”

Betty said the family was able to pack a lot into the visit before Brad and Angie left Shawnee about 3 pm. She said he didn’t bring any special presents — just his presence. She said,

“Oh no. Just himself. And I got to meet the great-grandson. That’s what was so good.”

Brangelina says ok to junkfoods

joliepittkids_neworleans6.jpgAnd that makes Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh very happy kids! =) Unlike other celebrities who frown on unhealthy foods and insist on only the finest foods for their little ones, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie let their kids dive into whatever candy and snacks they desire. According to Life & Style’s insider,

“If Zahara wants ice cream for breakfast, she’ll get it.”

The reason for this fastfood and junkfood fixation? It’s coz Brad and Angie don’t want nannies and chefs taking care of their brood. Unfortunately for the celebrity couple, they can’t cook. The source revealed,

“They like to take care of the kids on their own. But they can’t cook, so they look for food that comes out of a box and doesn’t have to be cooked — and the kids just love fried foods.”

LOL! Now that sounds stupid! A friend of the famous couple, however, has a more logical take on the Jolie-Pitt kids‘ junkfood eating habits –

Brad and Angelina work really hard at letting their kids be normal. That means they let them do stuff we all did as kids, like eat chocolate or scarf down a bag of chips.”

Brangelina planning a June wedding!

So, Angelina Jolie will be a June bride after all! If the rumormongers are right, that is ^_^ According to the tabloids, Brad Pitt and his pregnant partner are planning a secret summer wedding. PLUS, the event could lead to a reconciliation between Angelina Jolie and her estranged actor father Jon Voight. The couple are apparently going for an intimate and non-religious ceremony at their retreat in Santa Barbara in early June, with only close family and friends present. UK’s Daily Mail’s report that Angie has asked her father to walk her down the aisle. A source reveals,

“Since they started talking by phone in January, Angie has thought about asking Jon to give her away. When Angie and Brad started seriously discussing a wedding, the issue of Angie reconciling with her dad came up again and again. Angie came around after her brother intervened and strongly urged her to bury the hatchet.”

Now isn’t that sweet?? =) And it’s about time! A father and daughter should never quarrel and left it at that for years! Anyway, although Brangelina planned a quiet wedding, there will be some celebrities, with Brad’s close friends George Clooney and Matt Damon expected to attend.

presenting the Most Seductive Woman!

According to a British poll, the most seductive woman of all time has Halle Berry’s eyes, Jennifer Lopez’s nose, Kelly Brook’s hair and body, Angelina Jolie’s pout and wears Marilyn Monroe’s white dress (from the Seven Year Itch). And she’s none other than Angelle L’Brook! Yup, that’s her above =) She was created after the survey of more than 1,000 women for the fabric conditioner Lenor Infusions on who they find the most seductive. The women voted Marilyn Monroe the most seductive woman from the past, and Angelina Jolie the most seductive living woman.

But while British women thought that Hollywood stars were brimming with alluring attributes, they felt less confident about their own power to bewitch, the survey found. Lenor said the art of seduction in danger of being “lost” in Britain, because 49% said they did not feel seductive. Blaming their hectic lifestyles, 51% said they couldn’t remember the last time they felt in the mood for seduction, something they believed “mostly happens in the movies”. Tsk, poor Brits! Guess should follow Angelina Jolie’s lead and head on to adult shops ;-)
