TMZ reports that Brad joined Angelina at the Burbank airport during her flying lesson before leaving for Toronto to promote “Babel.” They say they don’t know whether Angelina has her pilot’s license, but TombRadierChronicles says that Angelina bought a $1.5 million plane at the end of August after earning her license:

They also report that pilot Angelina is negotiating with Paramount to do a third Tomb Raider movie, and that the second installment in the series, “Cradle of Life” is the top-grossing movie with a female lead.

Red Bull should pay Angelina Jolie a mint for carrying a can of the stuff while on the way to her flying lesson. It plays right into their “Red Bull gives you wings” campaign. It’s suspicious that she’s carrying the unopened can when she could easily stuff it into her huge purse, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was on the Red Bull payroll.

Thanks to X17 for taking these pictures and pointing out the Red Bull and AngelinaWeb for posting them.

Kate Moss appears in an artsy dream-sequence type video for high-end lingerie brand Agent Provacateur. Here is the first video of four, titled “Dreams of Miss X.” The title reminds me of the famous S&M novel “The Story of O.”

In later videos, Kate is said to be getting naked, but we’ve already seen her topless in quite a few photoshoots so that’s nothing novel.

Thanks to RogueConnect for finding this.

Wow, I really want to go out and buy some overpriced department store lipgloss after seeing this commercial, or maybe I want to have sex with a gorgeous woman and am sublimating. Whatever. I’m straight and married, so I must just want the makeup.

I can’t believe Lindsay accepted an endorsement gig as a ProActiv spokesperson. Diddy and Jessica Simpson did it, but it seemed like a rumor when I first heard about it.

A few years ago I actually used ProActiv. It’s a bit drying, but I have to admit that it worked on my skin, which only occasionally broke out beforehand but was really clear when I was using it. OMG - please send me some cash ProActiv, because I just plugged your stupid skincare system.

Thanks to Faded Youth for finding this video.

Pepsico tries to show that carbonated sugar water is palatable to all gullible cultures by posing Christina Aguilera in various outfits and hairstyles that would look just as good on International collector Barbies.

Aguilera used to shill for Pepsi’s biggest competitor, Coke, but moved over when they gave her the chance to spend more time in hair and makeup. Her endorsement deal is said to be around $3.7 million:

A more accurate spokesperson for Pepsi would be Rosie O’Donnell. We loved the normal Snapple lady from Long Island. Why can’t Pepsi go the everyperson route and hire an average person who actually consumes their drink? Jared helped Subway boost sales, and a non-celebrity everyman/woman would do the same for Pepsi. Instead some brilliant marketer decided to use Christina Aguilera and make her look even more plastic.

In this month’s issue of Glamour, Ashley Judd did her duty as a B-list celebrity and revealed potentially embarrassing details about her personal life. She said that she underwent in-patient treatment for depression after succumbing to pressure from employees at the facility that was treating her sister, country star Winona Judd, for a food addiction:

We all have issues that could benefit from therapy, and I enjoyed nice outpatient visits with a kind woman who usually took my side when I told stories about my lousy ex-boyfriend. It sounds like Judd was sold a bill of goods, though. Listen to how she explains “therapy:”
“My behaviors were treated like addictions. And those behaviors were killing me spiritually, the same as someone who is sitting on a corner with a bottle in a brown paper bag.”

This sounds like an oversimplified way to view one’s issues. There are lots of different schools of thought and accompanying therapies that can be effective, but treating everything like an addiction doesn’t seem like a very constructive way to work through one’s emotional issues.

If it worked for Judd that’s great though, and she deserves credit for being open and honest about what she went through.

Here is Ashley Judd at a Cartier party in early June with Salma Hayek, and at the Indianapolis 500 celebration in late May with her husband, Scottish racecar driver Dario Franchitti. Judd, 38, has been married to Franchitti, 33, since 1999. The couple divides their time between Tennessee and Scotland.

It looks like Vanity Fair’s strategy of denying stars the cover unless they dish lots of dirt has worked, because Hilary Swank blabs in an upcoming interview with the magazine that her ex, Chad Lowe, is an addict! She says he’s been sober for three years, but that his battle with substance abuse caused a serious rift in the relationship that they couldn’t repair.

It sounds like once Chad beat whatever drugs he was on things were never the same between them and it was impossible to overcome.

This happened to a friend of mine who was with her husband for over ten years. He got addicted to Oxycontin for back pain and completely changed. He became uncommunicative and withdrawn. They had a big blowout and ended up getting divorced. He has a new girlfriend and is still addicted to painkillers.

For an actress with two Oscars Hilary Swank doesn’t get a lot of attention in the press. This revelation will make people interested in her for a week or two. She’s sporty, down to earth, and normal and people don’t think that’s particularly exciting. She should follow this up by going shopping on Rodeo Drive and having dinner at The Ivy with a hot new guy.

In the upcoming interview, Hilary addresses the problems between her high=profile Hollywood career and her soon-to-be ex-husband’s lack of prospects, saying, “I think that any frustration for him stemmed from the lack of opportunities in his own career.”

Swank, 32, says she’s wary of the dating scene, “I thought of it - of that whole world - I can’t imagine it! I can’t imagine going out right now and trying to find someone else to be with.”

Relationship guru John Gray recommends that men and women do the opposite of their natural instincts when trying to recover from a breakup. Women should start dating right away while men should take time to nurse their wounds instead of jumping into another relationship. Maybe Hilary should take a page from Charlie Sheen and start looking online.

Here is Hilary in new ads from Clavin Klein and at a party for the perfume giant Guerlain, which she also represents, on 6/14. [via]

A little plastic surgery can go a long way. It turns out that it was a rumor that Ashlee Simpson was offered $4 million to pose for Playboy and turned it down. It’s stranger than fiction, though, that Ashlee is going to be the new face of the Victoria’s Secret “pink” line. She is also moving in with her boyfriend and guitarist for her band, Braxton Olita:

I could see her getting naked, but someone is paying her to model lingerie? That’s too much. Everyone is saying that she’s hot now that she looks just like Jessica, but she’s still an ugly little girl to me.

Ashlee started her U.S. tour last month, and little girls in Chuck Taylors are eagerly awaiting her arrival in their city. She told concert-goers in Washington, DC that “It’s OK not to be perfect”:

It might be ok not to be perfect, but she must have learned that lesson too late to take back her plastic surgery.

Here is Ashlee in July’s Marie Claire and in Elle UK. [via]

Everyone thought it was amazing how gorgeous a cleaned-up K-Fed looked when the pictures from his Item Magazine spread came out. He kind of looked like a used car salesman to me. (If you still think he’s cute, just check out these pictures of him lounging around the pool with his gut hanging out during his PR vacation with Britney.)

K-Fed is the new face of the Blue Marlin Clothing Company’s Five Star Vintage Clothing Line. Guess they don’t mind having their brand associated with a guy whose only claim to fame is fathering lots of children and starring in the cringe-worthy “Chaotic”.

Christina Aguilera has made another dig at Britney’s husband, K-Fed, saying that her husband is reliable and “isn’t trying to put out an album” or be in the spotlight:

Aguilera felt the need to bring everyone’s attention to the fact that Britney was not at the MTV Music Awards this year. She said something about wanting to chat with her, but she was really highlighting how hot she still is, while Britney has let herself go and is focusing on her role as a neglectful mother. Aguilera called Britney’s wedding to K-Fed two years ago “pathetic” at the time, and she was unfortunately right.

Some of these pictures of K-Fed’s Item Magazine shoot you’ve seen before, but many are new. If K-Fed can clean up, maybe Britney can, too.

Earlier in the week it was reported that Kevin wanted Britney to fire her gorgeous helpful bodyguard/manny, 28 year-old naval academy graduate, Perry Taylor. Britney may have followed his advice, because she was photographed out without Perry in a NY Mall yesterday.

Kevin would tell Britney to get rid of a guy that’s ten times more helpful than he is. He wants to control her and make sure she doesn’t leave his sorry ass. It looks like Perry’s fifteen minutes of fame, and his steady job, are over. Maybe if he did it half-assed like Kevin, Britney’s husband wouldn’t feel threatened by him and wouldn’t have asked her to fire him.

Britney and Kevin were said to have vacationed together at a resort in Miami this weekend, but the reality is that they avoided each other and stayed in separate houses at their resort.

Kevin has new gigs this week as the face of Blue Marlin clothing company and campaigning for a new Virgin Mobile charity “penny” drive. It’s really a publicity stunt for Virgin’s one-cent text messaging offer. Now that he’s getting his own “work” maybe he’ll get cocky enough about it to finally set Britney free.

Here are pictures of Kevin Federline at a Miami resort on 6/18, and 6/19. There are also pictures of Kevin signing the petition to keep the penny in circulation, and Britney shopping at a NY Mall on 6/21. Britney and Kevin are shown on the balcony at their Miami resort. Pictures [via] [via] [via]
