I just spent WAY too much time looking at old photos of Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller. Jonny was Angelina’s first husband. I’m old enough to remember them when they were married, and how hot they were. Everyone loved Sick Boy, and Sick Boy had this crazy-sexy American actress-wife. Sigh… Jonny is still – to this day – my favorite of all of Angelina’s lovers. Sure, I’ve grown to like Brad a great deal, and I’m not saying that I want Jonny to leave his wife for Angelina or anything… but I really love Jonny and Angelina together.

Anyway, JLM and Angelina stayed friends after they divorced, and I’m pretty sure they even “dated” (slept together) for years after the divorce. If ever you wondered about Jonny – he’s a sexy beast. He maintained La Jolie’s sexual needs for YEARS. Besides their romance and friendship, Jonny and Jolie worked together in 2005, on her first documentary project, A Place In Time. They even did a World Peace Day photo call in 2005 together when Jolie was already with Brad (and pregnant with Shiloh). Somewhere along the line, Angelina fell for Brad and Jonny fell for his second wife, Michelle Hicks. I figured that Angelina and Jonny still keep in touch here and there, but apparently they still have a close enough relationship where Jonny showed up for the LA premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey last night. The photo of Jonny with his wife – they’re leaving the after-party.

Brad Pitt showed up to support Angelina Jolie at the LA premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey on Dec. 8, but he wasn’t the guest turning heads that night. It was Angie’s former husband Jonny Lee Miller!

The actor attended the screening at the ArcLight Cinema with his current wife, Michele Hicks.

“He came in and sat in the front part of the theater,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. And Brad didn’t seem to mind the ex factor. In fact, he was interested only in talking about the unseasonably cold weather.

“It’s so cold out there; I had to come inside,” Brad remarked. “I don’t know how Angie is standing out there in that dress.”

Although Angie admitted she was “nervous” prior to the premiere, Brad was right by her side for her big night to steel her nerves.

“He hugged her and put his hand on her back,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style . “He was very loving and sweet.”

Angelina and Jonny married in March 1996 after meeting on the set of their film, Hackers, but called it quits after 18 months together.

“There are no regrets and no bitterness,” Jonny said at the time of their divorce. “Marriage was something that didn’t work out, and I had to make the decision sooner or later. I decided to make it sooner.”

But the two have remained friends since their split. In 2005, they even worked together on Peace One Day, a project focused on bringing peace into different communities.

Damn, I want to know if Jonny and Angelina hugged. Whether his hands lingered on her body, and the comfortable familiarity seeped in, and suddenly Angelina felt 19 years old again, falling for her English boy with a good eyeliner game. Sigh…

Vintage Jolie & Miller:

This Enquirer story is utterly sketchy and doubtful, but I still found it interesting because it involved a man that I adore, and who rarely (if ever) gets any tabloid coverage. Last year, as Dexter was filming its fifth season, married costars Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall began having problems. Some said it was that Jennifer wanted babies and Michael didn’t. Some said it was because Michael might have been boning Julia Stiles, who was guest-starring that season. But I have never heard this theory – that Jennifer Carpenter might have boning the other guest-star last year, Jonny Lee Miller.

Miller is Angelina Jolie’s first husband (and first ex-husband). They remained close friends for years after their split, and Jonny ended up remarrying a nice girl named Michele Hicks, whom he had met in a bar. Jonny and Michele have a son together, Buster. I’ve always thought they seemed like a solid couple, a solid family. But… maybe? Jennifer Carpenter? The Enquirer story makes it sound like their torrid affair consisted of jogging and Jonny listening to Jennifer complain about Michael. The Enquirer also makes this relationship sound on-going, but Jonny isn’t on this season of Dexter, so it’s not like he’s even seen Jennifer in a while, I’m thinking:

Insiders say that Jennifer Carpenter has been spending a lot of time with Jonny Lee Miller ever since her marriage to Michael C. Hall ended last year.

“Jennifer was an emotional wreck after her split from Michael, and Jonny has been her support system,” an insider told The Enquirer.

When Jonny guest-starred on Dexter during season 5, he and Jennifer became good friends and joggling partners. When Jennifer and Michael split, Jonny was a shoulder to cry on.

“Recently, Jonny has been in the habit of regularly phoning and texting Jennifer and spending more time with her,” added the insider. “Jonny’s wife Michele was OK with the friendship for a while, but pals think lately she worries that they’ve become too close. Michele wants him to pay more attention to her and less to Jennifer.”

Jonny promised he’d correct the situation because he deeply loves his wife, the insider added. Michael C. Hall also wondered how appropriate it was for a married man to be in such a close relationship with his co-star ex Jennifer.

“Jonny went on the defensive, assuring Michael there was nothing to worry about,” explained the insider. “The two are on good terms now, but I think there were a lot of bad feelings at first.”

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

The only thing that sounds true is that they jogged together. Both of them are runners – Jonny does marathons and Jennifer is such a big runner, the writers even included into the “Deb” character.

Now, I kind of wondered about Jonny when he was working with Sienna Miller on Broadway last year, but I don’t think anything happened there (fingers crossed). Could he be cheating on Michele? I hope not. (That being said, I wouldn’t blame Jennifer for trying to hit it – Jonny is a hot piece.)

These are photos from last night’s Olivier Awards, in London. It’s all for British theatre stuff, but there were some notable celebrities around. Take one of my favorite girls, Elisabeth Moss, who is in London, sharing the stage with Keira Knightley in The Children’s Hour. Elisabeth showed up in this odd dress. In some photos, it looks like the color is a very pale ice-blue. In others, it just looks kind of white-ish and neutral. I don’t hate the dress on her, although I want to write a book for celebrity women called Bitch, Wear A Jewel Tone: How To Stand Out On A Red Carpet. Anyway, my real problem is with Elisabeth’s hair. I love this honey-blonde color… I hate the “bump-it” look.

Next up: Jonny Lee Miller with a shaved head!!! Now, I love JLM. Passionately. I find him adorable, and an underrated actor. But I think he should rethink the shaved head look. It’s less Bruce Willis and more Lex Luther.

Also there – the new (modern) Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch! I actually think he looks nice here. He’s totally bizarre in everything I’ve ever seen him in, though.

And Matthew Fox, also with an unfortunate hair situation. I do not care for his too-groomed salt-and-pepper beard. Too much.

Last week, Life & Style revealed that there was yet another “tell-all” book being written about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and this one wasn’t written by anyone named Halperin, or any miscellaneous gossipy gerbil. This one was being written by a British tabloid journalist named Jenny Paul, and the excerpts that she’s already given away for free are absolutely priceless. Initially, the excerpts were about Angelina’s affair with Mick Jagger back in 1997 (when he was married to Jerry Hall), and then again in 2003-04. Apparently, Angelina was also boning Ralph “Oh My God I Hope This Happened” Fiennes back in 2004, as she was continuing to bone her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller.

According to Life & Style’s excerpt, “ the sources say Angelina was sleeping with Jonny Lee Miller and Ralph Fiennes when she met Brad Pitt and she’d just ended a four-month relationship with Colin Farrell, because he was becoming obsessed with her, and he drank too much and wasn’t a good role model for Maddox. An insider claims that Angelina and Ralph Fiennes met for regular S&M sex sessions at a hotel in London. “They would order room service and watch the news together in bed afterward.””

After letting your mind wander through some S&M fantasies with Ralph Fiennes (mother may I), this new interview with Jenny Paul about her book is a little bit anti-climactic. Unless, of course, you already climaxed during your leather-clad Ralph Fiennes fantasy (raises hand). Here’s more:

‘Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie: The True Story’ comes out next week and asserts that Angelina slept with Mick Jagger when she was in her early twenties and that she and Brad plan to have 13 children, among other things. There were more than a few inconsistencies in the last Brangelina tell-all, so take what you will.

HuffPost exclusive: Author Jenny Paul gave the following details to Life & Style:

Angie’s had a nose job: No, she didn’t have her lips done. Paul claims in her new book that Angelina had a nose job when she was younger (which her rep has denied) and also underwent laser eye surgery.

They have five nannies for six kids: Each older kid has a nanny, and the twins share one, the book reveals. “They look after the kids and home-school them,” Paul tells Life & Style.

Brad nearly got busted for pot: A report claimed Brad and Angie were so loud while having sex in Kenya in 2005, cops burst in. The real story, Paul tells Life & Style: Someone thought he smelled pot and tipped off police, who later raided the couple’s room but found nothing.

Brad bought their French estate: The couple purchased the $60 million Chateau Miraval, Paul tells Life & Style. It was bought by Brad’s Briarcliff Trust.

Zzzz…. Whatever, nannies, gerbils, it’s all the same in the end. More Ralph! I want more details about Jonny Lee Miller, too. He’s always been my favorite of all of Angelina’s men, and I want to know about their sex life, because that’s who I am and I’m not ashamed. I always got the impression that Jonny and Angelina were very sexually compatible, and that’s what kept their relationship/friendship together for so many years.

Ian Halperin isn’t the only person who can write a fictionalized re-imagining of Brad and Angelina’s relationship. There’s a new scandalous tell-all about to be released, and Life & Style previews some of the accusations leveled at Brangelina by author Jenny Paul. You know what’s weird? Some of the stuff in here I’d really like to be true. Like, allegedly Angelina had a sexual relationship with Ralph Fiennes. Which would be so f-cking hot, I think. Angie and Ralph would make a sexier couple than she and Brad, but I’m betting that’s just me. Oh, and Angelina and Mick Jagger? I could kind of see that one too, although the timeline Ms. Paul provides seems weird. Ms. Paul also proclaims that Brad is the one who is pretty much in charge – which, I have to admit, is a refreshing change from the “Angelina is a ball-busting demon, Brad weeps into goat beard daily” stories. Here’s more:

The two Hollywood stars Angelina was sleeping with when she met Brad, how she won Brad from Jen, the truth about their sex life…and more! Author of the shocking new tell-all book talks ONLY to LIFE & STYLE revealing the juiciest secrets about Hollywood’s hottest couple

“Hollywood will be rocked by these revelations about Brad and Angelina” – The book’s author, Jenny Paul, to Life & Style

Ever since split rumors exploded following their widely reported meeting with lawyers in January, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have seemingly done everything in their power to prove their love is unshakable. But fighting the split rumors will pale in comparison to their next big battle.

Life & Style has exclusively obtained details from a shocking new tell-all book on the couple — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The True Story. One of the most shocking revelations in the tell-all — Angelina was sleeping with Hollywood star Ralph Fiennes and ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller when she met Brad in 2004!

The book also reveals that Angie slept with Mick Jagger (then married to Jerry Hall) around the time she appeared in the 1997 Rolling Stones video for “Anybody Seen My Baby.” And in March 2003, the two were seen going back to his room at the Oriental hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

“This [book] will answer all the questions Brangelina fans have yet to have answered,” the book’s author, Jenny Paul, tells Life & Style. Paul, who spent the past six years investigating the notoriously private couple, spoke to those closest to them, including Angelina’s late mother’s former boyfriend Bill Day and Angelina’s old confidant, rock singer Texas Terri.

The tantalizing tell-all offers a fascinating blow-by-blow of the genesis of the couple’s romance.

“Brad told Angelina just weeks into filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith that his marriage to Jen was over in every way apart from on paper and had been for more than a year,” says Paul, who spoke to an insider who detailed Brad and Angie’s secret trysts, which began soon after. According to the book, Brad told Angelina that he and Jen were just good friends and were waiting for the right time to officially end their marriage.

Life & Style has also learned that the book reveals Brad and Angelina’s plan to have 13 children. “Some will be adopted, some will be biological,” Paul tells the mag. And when they’ll have those kids may be up to Brad — because he’s the one calling the shots these days. “The power base in the relationship has changed,” Paul reveals. “Angelina wore the pants first, but now Brad’s the one wearing them.”

[From Life & Style Magazine]

The Mick Jagger stuff is weird, isn’t it? So, they had an affair back in 1997, when she did the video, and then they had another affair in 2003? Sure. Okay. I’ll buy that Mick might be one of Angelina’s “types”. As for the whole thing about her sleeping with two other men when she first met Brad, once again, I’m buying it (she’s admitted as much, anyway). But why is it a big deal? I know she was bangin’ her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller for years after they divorced (and I bet it was really hot too). And I remember back in 2005, Angelina was still spending time with Jonny, even when she and Brad were officially “together”. So there may have been a little overlap between her other relationships and her relationship with Brad? Meh. Brad doesn’t seem to mind.

UPDATE: OH YES PLEASE. More about the alleged affair with Ralph, via Jezebel: “In the book, the sources say Angelina was sleeping with Jonny Lee Miller and Ralph Fiennes when she met Brad Pitt and she’d just ended a four-month relationship with Colin Farrell, because he was becoming obsessed with her, and he drank too much and wasn’t a good role model for Maddox. An insider claims that Angelina and Ralph Fiennes met for regular S&M sex sessions at a hotel in London. “They would order room service and watch the news together in bed afterward.”" Sweet Jesus. I am praying that this true now.

Here’s the Rolling Stones’ video for “Anbody Seen My Baby” with Vintage Jolie:

Some of Jolie’s men:

Here’s Blake Lively at last night’s New York premiere of Sherlock Holmes. I can’t even imagine how cold she was – the whole Eastern corridor is in the midst of a huge cold front, and we’re getting lots of snow today and this weekend. I just checked – it’s hovering around 20 degrees Fahrenheit this morning in New York, so I can only imagine it was in the teens last night for the premiere. The men at the premiere were bundled up in scarves – meanwhile, Blake is prancing around in what basically amounts to a pair of panties and a lace chemise. She looks flawless, though. Great hair and makeup. Perhaps this look would have been better during a warmer season, though.

As many know, I’m a big fan of Blake Lively. I don’t watch Gossip Girl or anything, so I can’t really say I like her for whatever acting chops she has. I think my affection for her is that she’s one of the most interesting girls on the red carpet these days, and because I think she’s very, very pretty, albeit in a surgically altered way. Every day that I see Blake on a new red carpet, I’m happy. She’s likes to show off her T&A, as well as her legs - but rarely in a “look at me, I’m so sexy” Pamela Anderson way. Blake tries to be high fashion while she’s showing off her asset. I appreciate that. That being said, I think she should cover the hell up! I feel like her mom – but she’s seriously going to catch something if she doesn’t start wearing more clothes.

As far as the rest of the red carpet, everybody else at least made some concessions to the cold weather. Robert Downey Jr. wore a fabulous brown suit which looked great on him. Rachel McAdams opted for a strapless jumpsuit that was kind of blah. Jonny Lee Miller was there too! He looks amazing, and he was probably there to support his bestie Jude. Mark Strong is a total cueball now, but I still find him sexy. And Guy Ritchie’s date was his son with Madonna, Rocco. Rocco looked uncomfortable, which makes me feel for the poor kid.

Sienna Miller is still giving some interviews here and there to promote her role in After Miss Julie on Broadway. Sienna spoke to Rush & Malloy (from the NYDN) about one of the “stunts” that she and costar Jonny Lee Miller have to perform every night. Apparently, the play calls for Sienna to grab Jonny’s… what shall we call them…? His “boys”? His nuggets? His tea bags? His plums? His stones? His walnuts? His jewels? His sweet potatoes? I could go on. But I’ll stop. Anyway, Sienna has to “grab” Jonny’s man-jigglies and according to Jonny, he’s not worried about it whatsoever. He defends Sienna by saying she’s “skilled” at what she has to do:

Sienna Miller storied love life has obviously left her with a little learning about the care and handling of men’s privates.

In her Broadway play, “After Miss Julie,” there’s a scene where Sienna’s character flies into a rage and grabs the scrotum of her co-star, Jonny Lee Miller. She’s quite convincing.
How does she manage to put Jonny’s family jewelry in such a vise without hurting him?

“I shouldn’t give away the secret,” the actress told us at the play’s opening last week. “But I’m obviously not doing what it looks like. I grab a bit of his thigh.”

Jonny, who no doubt learned to tolerate firm-handed women during his marriage to Angelina Jolie, vouched that the scene doesn’t make him nervous. “I don’t wear a cup or anything,” he laughed. “She’s a skilled actress.”

Should Sienna’s claw miss its target by an inch one night, muscular Jonny allowed, he might have an involuntary reaction. “She’d fly off the stage in a second,” he predicted.
We asked Sienna whether two of the Broadway stars who’ve helped her train for the scene, her ex-lovers Jude Law and Daniel Craig, had come to see her.

“Not yet,” said Sienna, who’s twice seen Law in “Hamlet.” “But it’s very difficult when you’re all onstage at the same time.”

Does she see New York as a refuge from Britain’s class system, as the characters in her play do?

“I think the class system is as prevalent here as it is in England,” she said. “But I think America is massively optimistic. I love coming here.”

[From Rush & Malloy]

I really hope Sienna and Jonny don’t hook up. I don’t want her claws anywhere near him or his walnuts. But that’s life, I suppose. Sometimes life hands you lemons and you have to grab those lemons and twist. Too much?

In one more piece of Sienna-grabbing-family-jewels news, Balthazar Getty gave a quote to OK! Magazine UK over the weekend, and it’s very cryptic. Balthy says: “It’s very difficult when you read about your own love life. It’s hard to have to share that with the world.” Uh… so, are they still dating? Because the last we heard was Balthy and Lindsay Lohan were hooking up.

Oh God oh God oh God. Get your hands off of him, you tramp! Here are some pictures from yesterday of Sienna Miller trying to get her claws into the very happily married Jonny Lee Miller. They were taking some kind of walk in New York, where they’re starring together on Broadway, in the play After Miss Julie. The baby is Jonny’s son Buster, who will be one-year-old this December. Buster’s a cutie, isn’t he? And I still think the name is an Arrested Development reference. Buster’s mom is Jonny’s wife Michele Hicks, and I seriously doubt Michele is happy with these photos.

Yes, I know, Sienna isn’t really this home wrecking tramp (except she is). But from all indications, she’s still with George “Slinky Wizard” Barker, although she hasn’t been photographed with him in more than a month. So, yeah. That relationship is probably over, I think. And Sienna’s itching to start something, because she’s that girl. You know that girl. The one who is always in a relationship, and the relationship is almost always full of drama. That girl is annoying.

In truth, Jonny and Sienna have been friends for a while – I think Sienna even met Jonny before she met Jude Law, who is Jonny’s best friend. If Sienna’s vadge hasn’t itched for Jonny so far, he might be safe. He’s not the kind of drama she usually goes for – he seems pretty well adjusted and happy. Sigh. I love Jonny. I find him so unbelievably hot. He seems confident, but not arrogant, sweet but not cheesy, intelligent but not haughty. He’s lovely too, in that “I could totally meet him” average-guy way.

Yesterday, I spent too much time reading and re-reading the Telegraph’s lovely interview with Jonny, and for all of us who adore him, it’s a great read. He talks about his wife (“’we were introduced in a bar by a mutual friend, and that was it”), his parents (“They’ve given me a great deal of love and support, and it’s been wonderful to give them a grandchild, their first.”) and playing Mr. Knightley in the BBC’s new version of Emma (“’I just really liked the script. Because I didn’t know the book I thought she was going to end up with Frank Churchill.”). Swoon. Maybe I’m mad at Sienna because I would try to get my claws into him too?

Jonny Lee Miller, star of the television show Eli Stone, showed some skin on Ellen, Monday, for a very good cause. Ellen is currently raising money for Breast Cancer research and she offered $1000 to the cause for each tattoo Miller could show her.

Jonny Lee Miller had to flash his flesh on U.S. TV on Monday when talk show host Ellen DeGeneres offered to pay $1,000 to a breast cancer charity for every tattoo the actor showed off on her show.

Miller showed off six tattoos on his wrists, arms, stomach and left shoulder before covering up.The reluctant star told DeGeneres, “The rest you don’t wanna see.”

[From FemaleFirst]

Ellen was either impressed or so thankful for not being shown the rest of them that she increased the total by $1000 and gave $7000 to the charity. Miller got off easy, Ellen has been dunking people in water to raise money for the charity recently.

Angelina Jolie’s first husband is hot. I haven’t watched Eli Stone, but I’m thinking I may have to start. Lawyer shows haven’t been my thing since LA Law, but Eli Stone has a speculative paranormal aspect which could make it interesting.

Miller and his wife, Michelle Hicks, are expecting their first child, who’s sex or intended name he wouldn’t divulge, but he assures Ellen it won’t be a wacky-celebrity name.

When asked Monday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show whether they’re having a boy or a girl, Jonny quipped that the couple are just “hoping [it's] human,” then admitted that while they do know the sex, they’ve opted not to share the news.

Similarly, the couple have chosen a name but Jonny says it’s “the kind of thing we don’t discuss with people” because “even your friends that don’t want to offer an opinion, they kind of do just by their facial expressions.” They’ll say “that’s a good name!” or “I like it!” when it’s clear they don’t really mean it, the 35-year-old Eli Stone actor joked. When pressed by host Ellen DeGeneres, however, Jonny did reveal that he and Michele have chosen a “normal” name.

[From Celebrity Baby Blog]

Degeneres thanked Miller for helping her to contribute to the charity by giving him a baby onesie with tattoo art sleeves for the soon-to-arrive Baby Lee Miller. So starts the internet search for my next baby shower gift.

Angelina Jolie is said to have caused a lot of tension at home when she let the news drop that she would make a guest appearance on her ex husband, Jonny Lee Miller’s new series on ABC “Eli Stone.

Brad got super pissed and she decided to cancel her plans, but not after he let her have it. He was said to be pretty upset that she would make a career decision like that without consulting him, and thinks it was hypocritical of her. If Brad wanted to work professionally with Aniston, Angelina would never allow it:

Angelina’s ex, Jonny Lee Miller, stars in the new ABC drama series, “Eli Stone,” and she had consented to appear on the show.

“Brad really blew up when she casually mentioned that she was, as she put it, ‘helping Jonny Lee out,’” an insider told The Enquirer.

“Angelina usually discusses with Brad every role she takes before committing to it – so it was a double breach of trust.

“Brad has always been leery of Angelina’s special relationship with Jonny Lee, and it really galled him that Angie went behind his back and agreed to the role.

“As a result, Brad exploded, and it really caused a rift between them.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, December 3, 2007]

This could be totally untrue, because the gossip magazines have to manufacture shit about these two every week in order to move copies. Unlike the other usually-vague stories about how they’re fighting or jealous or whatever, this seems possible, but I’m doubtful.

Miller is Angelina’s first husband and they are still friendly from most reports. Brad doesn’t seem like the jealous type, but it would probably really annoy him if Angelina wanted to appear on her ex’s show. You know the tabloids would have a field day with that, since they jump on every little crumb you feed them and turn it into a meal big enough to feed the gossip-hungry masses.

Angelina has called divorcing Jonny “probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever done,” but to me it seems like her biggest mistakes are the things she says rather than what she does. If only she would give vague interviews I think she would avoid a lot of trouble. And isn’t it a sign of maturity to be friends with your exes?

Angelina and Brad are shown at the Beowolf premiere in London on 11/11/07, thanks to PRPhotos. Angelina is shown with Jonny Lee Miller below on 9/22/05 at the Peace Day One premiere, thanks to Splash News. Miller is the guy looking down on the right of the photo to Angelina’s left.
