Brad, Angelina, Maddox and Zahara head to Germany accompanied by a handful of staff. They have been traveling a lot lately and will hopefully slow down to give Angelina’s time to rest.
Angelina may seek to make peace with her father, actor Jon Voight, after a publicized falling out in 2002. Voight’s statement that Angelina suffered from “mental problems” frustrated the actress, who was trying to adopt a child at the time. In a 2005 interview on Comedy Centrals “The Daily Show,” Voight mentioned that he does speak with “Angie,” so it sounds like the two have been in touch since the incident.
Angelina may also be ready to announce her relationship with Pitt to the press:

Britney dresses for a thinner, taller person with an ill-fitting rainbow-colored dress and too-long pants that need to be hemmed. She does look pregnant in these pictures, and it’s probably a matter of time before the press finds out for certain.

Madonna is looking for holy real estate in Isreal to help spread the word of the Kaballah cult:
One woman who owns an old stone cottage in this designated space for future miracles says she will happily sell her home to Madonna for double the going price, a cool $1 million dollars.
The pop star supposedly wants to renovate whatever property she picks up into a reading room for her Kabbalah cronies.
Cult expert Rick Ross reported earlier that Madonna’s relationship with Guy was in trouble due to his healthy suspicions of to her involvement with the harmful cult.
Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, will perform in a one-night-only theater benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS at the The New Victory Theater in New York City on March 27:
It’s an expensive affair, with the cheapest tickets going for $250, but it’s for a good cause and is tax deductible.
Sting and Trudie are pictured above at a March 3 Chanel fashion show, where the famous couple was more interesting than the models:
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has produced and distributed an eight-minute how-to video for Oscar nominees. Ratings have declined over the years, and they want to maintain the ceremony’s momentum and not lose bored viewers:
This year, though, it has a new gimmick: an eight-minute instructional video, narrated by two-time Best Actor winner Tom Hanks, which it has distributed to each of the 150-odd nominees. A relaxed and wry-looking Hanks guides nominees through the art of handling that speech-making moment “with wit, flair, creativity - or at least with brevity”.
Entitled An Insider’s Guide: What Nominees Need To Know, the video includes clips of Oscar moments that stuck in the memory - such as Jack Palance doing one-arm push-ups, or Roberto Benigni gliding over the tops of everyone’s chairs en route to the stage - and ones that decidedly did not - such as the interminable thank-yous delivered by the crew from Lord of the Rings two years ago, which was about as interesting as a reading from the New Zealand telephone directory. Another bad example was Gwyneth Paltrow’s tsunami of tears.
They basically want people to keep it short, avoid lists, and be funny and interesting.
The most awkward Oscar acceptance I remember was Zellweger’s 2003 Best Actress speech. She came off as insecure as she thanked everyone, including the lackeys at her agency, for their help. This year, The Academy hopes to placate over-eager winners with a special section of their website where they can post thank you messages.
Here are presenters Jake Gyllenhaal and J.Lo preparing for tonight. Three more after the jump.

In case you haven’t heard of the worst picture, Jenny McCarthy’s “Dirty Love,” don’t worry, no one else has heard of it, either:
It’s clear that I don’t like Keira Knightly. She stinks of pretension. That’s why I’m pleased to announce that she’s wearing a poufy prom dress to the Oscars. Her hair is a mess, too.
Heath Williams and Michelle Ledger arrive at the 78th annual Oscar awards. Michelle is wearing a bold yellow v-neck dress and minimal accessories. She looks lovely and very well put together.
