All hell broke loose after the Angelina was spotted wearing a chinchilla poncho and a matching Russian hat. However, the star has cleared all misunderstandings after animal activists were furious about her adorning animal fur as she plays the role of a rogue CIA operative in her latest film ‘Salt’.

The Changeling star said she had no plans to anger animal activists. Her movie publicist has also confirmed to PETA that the actress was wearing fake fur. Meanwhile the animal-rights group wrote on its blog:

“The chinchilla is actually synchilla ”

Jolie’s new film ‘Salt’ will hit theatres in 2010.

Angelina Jolie, could easily give grandma a run for her money in her new attire. The Changeling star was spotted wearing a fluffy grey poncho and a matching hat. After playing action woman Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies, Angelina was spotted in an entirely different makeover for her role as a Russian sleeper spy who is forced to go on the run when authorities believe she is trying to assassinate the American president.

The 34-year-old has been putting in long hours filming for Salt on location in Washington D.C. and New York - where she has relocated with partner Brad Pitt and their large brood of children. She has been photographed looking gaunt and exhausted on set as she struggles to balance her long working days with spending time with her children.

Angelina had recently started a liquid only detox diet, in an effort to shed 21lbs for her physically demanding role. Recently, the actress who is doing all the stunts by herself, was also reported to have collapsed on the sets.

Not all seems to be right in the Brangelina household . According to reports, Angelina Jolie has reportedly put on hold her plans to extend their brood due to her troubled relationship with Brad. There were recent speculations that the couple were planning to adopt an Indian child. However, the constant tiffs between the couple have forced them to put their adoption plans on hold.

Their tension is becoming increasingly obvious at the sets, where Angelina is shooting for her new film ‘Salt’. During one heated phone call Angelina was heard telling Brad:

“Will you please respect the fact that I am working right now?” and “All you have to do today is watch the kids. Will you please do it?”

The couple have even asked Angelina’s brother James Haven to act as mediator, who fears that her famous sister “may sabotage the best thing she’s ever had and walk out on Brad.” A source tells that during one bust up,

“Poor James was trying to say, ‘Come on, that’s not fair,’ and they ended up talking right over him.”

The whole thing seems to be affecting Angelina a lot, who is said to have collapsed on the sets. As another insider puts it:

“The whole cast can tell something’s not right between them,”

Angelina Jolie has reportedly collapsed on the sets of her forthcoming film ‘Salt‘ , after complaining of dizzy spells. Her fragile appearance had recently caused concerns for the producers and they had asked her to put on weight. Her recent weight loss is causing concerns for the producers regarding her health.
But it seems Angelina may be just too sad to eat. A friend told Now Magazine:

‘She never eats properly when she’s upset,’ says a friend. ‘Food is the last thing on her mind. She’ll ignore breakfast, pick at lunch and skip dinner. Once in a while she’ll grab a snack, but nothing substantial.’

She is also said to be stressed in an effort to balance her work and family life. Angelina is also constantly tired because the film, in which she plays the role of a spy demands a lot of physical activity involving action scenes. According to a source:

‘It all got too much for Angelina. She collapsed between takes, complaining of shortness of breath and dizzy spells.To be fair, it was after she’d filmed a strenuous scene in which she ran around the set, but it was still shocking to see her crumble. There was something very wrong with her fitness levels if she couldn’t handle a couple of action scenes.’

Angelina’s collapse is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Changeling star, who’s already under stress because of her hectic family life and work schedule. This is also said to be causing tiffs in her relationship with Brad.

Producers of ‘Salt‘ , Angelina Jolie’s forthcoming film have expressed deep concerns over the star’s startling weight loss. According to reports, the already too-gaunt looking star is living on a mixture of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for her role as a Russian spy. Angelina, mother-of-six has been working 15-hour days while filming the espionage thriller Salt and is doing all her own stunts, with a liquid-only detox diet.

Brad Pitt, 45, who moved the family to New York to be closer to Jolie during filming, is also said to be worried about his wife’s fatigued and diminished size. According to sources, the couple have hardly been able to see each other and it has been claimed that Jolie, 33, is living alone at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel while Pitt and their children are renting a house nearby. An insider said:

“Brad and the kids have barely visited the set and Angelina seems very insular. She’s staying on her own, working 15-hour days and the stress is taking its toll. We’re all very concerned. She is looking so small on camera, the producers have had to have a discreet word.”

The Tomb Raider siren recently claimed that her first priority was her family, adding that she was the “happiest mummy” being able to balance her film work with family life.
