Angelina Jolie wears mumu and fussy hair to premiere of “The Changeling”


Angelina Jolie has really rocked the sexy pregnant mom fashion at Cannes up until now. She’s usually seen in cleavage-baring long dresses with exotic prints, looking effortlessly beautiful. Earlier today she wore a black pants suit that also exuded casual chic. But somehow she decided that the best look for her big premiere was a giant gray mumu with sequins at the bustline and her hair in a fussy puff. Don’t get me wrong, I wish I looked as good on my best non-pregnant day as Angelina does here, but it just doesn’t look like her and it’s slightly off. It’s as if she let someone else style her and kind of gave in to conventional fashion wisdom for pregnant women - hide the bump, elevate the hair - instead of letting her own look shine through. And Brad is also suffering from a bit of the too-stiff look. It’s kind of nice seeing them slightly miss on the red carpet for once. Despite being richer, skinnier, more attractive, and with better accessories than I ever hope to have, they don’t look perfect for every occasion.

Angelina plays a mother searching for her lost son in the film, and she may be going for a matronly look at the Cannes premiere in honor of her character. She said that the role reminded her of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer last January:

“My mother was very passive in many ways and very, very sweet, but when it came to her children, she was a lion.

“So in many ways, Christine reminded me of my mom, and it was a way to kind of revisit my mother after her passing and spend time with her.”

Angelina Jolie and Clint Eastwood at “The Changeling” photocall


Pregnant with twins Angelina Jolie, 32, and screen legend and multiple Oscar-winning director, Clint Eastwood, 77, posed together for a photocall for their film The Changeling, which is in competition at the Cannes film festival and premieres there today. Angelina wore a long black pantsuit and peep toe heels with a tight shirt that showed off her pregnancy. The Changeling is set in Los Angeles in 1928 and tells the story of a mother’s quest to find her missing son. It also stars John Malkovich as an ally of Angelina’s character. It doesn’t premiere in the US until November 7, 2008, which may be an attempt to increase the film’s chances for an Oscar nomination.

Last night Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had dinner with with a group of celebrities that included Clint Eastwood, Mick Jagger, and director Brett Ratner. A waitress at the restaurant praised the group as being “super nice.”

Lindsay Lohan pisses off Clint Eastwood

Leave it to Lindsay Lohan to go out of her way to piss off the three people in Hollywood that don’t already hate her. Lindsay infamously pissed off just about everyone in the on the cast and crew of her film “Georgia Rule” after she continuously came into work late, drunk, hungover… or not at all. Morgan Creek Productions chief James G. Robinson had to send Lohan an embarrassing letter in which he called her”irresponsible and unprofessional” and mentioned her “all-night heavy partying” as the cause of her “so-called ‘exhaustion.’” Jane Fonda and director Garry Marshall were livid with Lohan, and rumors flew that she’d been blacklisted by most of the older generation in Hollywood Lohan hasn’t put anything out in a while so it’s hard to say if that’s come to bear. But you’d think she’d take it under advisement and behave in a semi-dignified manner around Hollywood legends, if for nothing else than the sake of her languishing career. But of course logic has no hold on Miss Lohan, and this past week she managed to piss off Clint Eastwood. Never a good decision.

Oscar-winning actor and director Clint Eastwood was just trying to enjoy a pleasant dinner at Madeo in Los Angeles on Thursday night, when Lindsay Lohan and a group of four pals — three men and one woman — seemed to spoil his good time.

According to a witness, the Million Dollar Baby star looked “very upset” at the scene and kept glaring over at La Lohan’s table — where, it should be said, no one witnessed Lindz partaking in any alcoholic beverages.

Says the witness: “I heard him tell his friend, ‘She brought all those paparazzi. Fifteen of them. Did you ever think we’d see the day with all this? I’m going out the back door so I don’t have to deal with all that.”

[From OK!]

To be fair, I think it’s safe to say that Lindsay probably wasn’t going to be starring in any Clint Eastwood films anyway. But heaven forbid she not act as if every moment is all about her. One would assume Lohan was being generally loud and/or obnoxious in some way if they pissed off Clint Eastwood. I doubt the paparazzi was his sole beef with her. Lindsay is one of the top people I would vote out of Hollywood if I could. You never hear a single thing about her being kind, gracious, or considerate of anyone. It’s all about what she can get away with and how badly she can behave before she has to check into rehab. She doesn’t seem to realize that her behavior off the set also influences her career. The more people are disgusted by her in her daily activities, the fewer opportunities she’ll have. At this rate we can probably leave her to her own devices and watch her screw herself out of Hollywood within two years.

Here’s Lohan and more of her dirty face makeup. I’m pretty sure this head shot is my favorite Lohan image of all time. Here’s Lohan and more of her dirty face makeup.
