As a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, Angelina Jolie, accompanied by her partner, Brad Pitt, travelled to Syria to raise awareness of the situation there regarding Iraqi refugees.
In addition to meeting with President Bashar al-Assad and his wife, Asma, the couple visited two refugee families in the capital, Damascus, reports Perez Hilton.
It only seemed like a matter of time before World War Two was “Tarantino-ized.” After all, it’s the perfect setting for the “Pulp Fiction” director’s self-proclaimed poetry and mind-boggling gore.
Set in the first year of Germany’s occupation of France, “Inglourious Basterds” – a film that’s loosely based on the 1978 Italian war flick “The Inglorious Bastards” – kicks off with Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (played by German actor Christoph Waltz) who’s on the lookout for Jews (he’s literally referred to as the “Jew Hunter”). One of Landa’s searches in the outskirts of France leads him to a Jewish French girl, Shoshana Dreyfus (played by the beautiful Melanie Laurent) – whose family is killed by Landa and his crew.
Simultaneously (but in a different part of Europe) Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift acts of retribution. And by retribution, he means Tarantino-style revenge (which translates to gore X 150).
The movie comes out tomorrow so check back for our review later tonight. In the meantime here’s the trailer for the film starring Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
andPOP was at the Canadian premiere of the highly anticipated “Inglourious Basterds,” the latest Quentin Tarantino film. The director himself was present along with Eli Roth, who plays Sgt. Donny Donowitz in the war movie.
The event took place on Aug. 12 at the Scotiabank theatre in Toronto and featured two World War II vehicles mounted with models dressed in ‘40s attire. Hundreds of fans lined the street of the theatre to catch a glimpse of the director and a star of his film.
I have been waiting for Inglorious Basterds since it was announced. I have been waiting for the newest Wolfenstein game since I finished the last one I played. What can I say? I enjoy killing Nazis. READ MORE »
According to Perez Hilton, Jennifer Aniston is in the early stages of developing her own restaurant. Sources say the former Friends star is very passionate about the new venture.
“Jennifer is very passionate about cooking,” said an insider. “She recently had a new kitchen fitted and she loves it. She can cook anything from Mexican meals, to Italian food, to cakes. She does use cookbooks, but mainly they are her own recipes. Everyone says she should open her own restaurant and she said she would love to.”
There’s no word yet on what kind of food the restaurant will serve or when it will open.
The actress, who used to be married to Brad Pitt, is currently filming her next movie, Bounty Hunter, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with Gerard Butler.
The Pitt family are becoming quite the impressive humanitarians. Brad Pitt’s brother Doug announced that the Brad Pitt family (including Angelina and the kids), Doug and his wife Lisa and Rob and Julie Neal (Brad’s sister) are making a $1 million donation to St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Missouri.
According to perezhilton.com, the donation will be used to pay cancer specialists staffed by the hospital, as well as “new 31 pediatric unit, a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald House; and double the size the neonatal intensive and pediatric intensive care units.”
Because of the generous donation, the center will be renamed St. John’s Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, after their mother.
There’s something about certain male actors over the age of 40 (but have yet to hit the 50 mark) that makes ladies and men of all ages goo-goo-gaa-gaa for them.
You know who these men are. They are the actors that straight men will shamelessly admit that even they would fantasize about these stars.
These men are charming, attractive and, most importantly, talented.
So whether you are fifteen years their junior or ten years their senior, here are five (although there are many more) contemporary actors who still capture our hearts and make us blush like little schoolgirls.
Now this rant isn’t about Brad Pitt as an actor because, I’ll admit, I’m quite a big fan of both his performances and his movie career choices.
But it’s his personal life that I’m not the biggest fan of whatsoever.
He’s like the forbidden fruit – the apple that most women around the world would love to sink their teeth into. Just ask Angelina Jolie or, years before, Jennifer Aniston. (Yes, I just mentioned those two in a sentence without picking one over the other. It’s possible you know).
Yet as people continue to argue that Angelina is a home-wrecker (because she partially is) and that Jennifer makes shitty movies (because, for the most part, she does) I’ve always wondered why no one bothered to look at the real problem here.

The world may get its first look at Quentin Tarantino’s WWII epic, “Inglourious Basterds,” next month.
