I finally got confirmation on who designed this glittery potato sack dress for Angelina – it’s Amanda Wakeley. Still meh. Anyway, Angelina Jolie gave several interviews while she was in London for the British premiere of Salt. And all of them are interesting! First up, she was asked about the deadly floods in Pakistan, which have already killed 2,000 people. Angelina has already visited Pakistan several times through her UNHCR work, and Jolie had some specific comments: “This one is really one that we really have to urgently get in there and try and do what we can. We’ll financially help, we’ll try to figure out which is the best group, we’ll probably do HCR and hope to visit and go when the attention dies down and maintain the attention. Because it’s millions and millions of people who’ll be uprooted for a very, very long time.”
Also – Angelina commented about the rumor that she would play Marilyn Monroe in a film told from the perspective of MM’s dog Maf. Oh, with George Clooney playing Sinatra…? Ugh. Jolie said: “This is a new rumor. It sounds very nice – I just haven’t got the phone call yet! You guys will probably know before I do!” She also confirmed that she had brought the twins with her to London… and there’s some stuff about her kids playing with blood.
Bloody adorable! At Monday’s London premiere of Salt, Angelina Jolie admitted to UsMagazine.com that her kids with Brad Pitt love to play with blood — the fake, behind-the-scenes kind, that is.
Jolie, 35, explained that her kids — including Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5 and Shiloh, 4 — would often come with her on the set of action thriller. “I would bring them in early in the mornings…and I’d let them [use] blood,” she said.
“So we play together, they try on my wigs, they play with the blood,” the mother of six told Us.
But don’t worry, she insisted. “They know it’s all silly! They test the harnesses and we have them flying around. They know what it is.”
Not that Jolie didn’t shed any real blood while making the intense action flick. “I have a little scar right here,” she admitted, pointing to the front of her scalp, describing how she “went smack into a table” during an gun-shooting sequence. “It was a little embarrassing.”
Were Shiloh and the gang in London for the big night? Just “the babies,” Jolie told Us of twins Vivienne and Knox, 2. “I’m having some special baby time.”
The star also lent some insight into how she and Brad Pitt co-parent. “We’re very much a united front,” she told Us. “They can’t get Mommy to do something Daddy wouldn’t. We’re very much the same. But we take turns working and we bring the kids to each other’s sets, so we try to stay together.”

Isn’t movie blood just some kind of syrup? The kids should be fine. Or they’ll end up like Dexter, whatever. It’s none of my business, I guess, although I have a hard time imagining Empress Zahara playing with fake blood. She’s probably all, “The wigs are mine!”
Angelina also did this little interview on the red carpet. There’s nothing new here, but it’s nice to hear her voice. It sounds a little like she’s doing a British accent in the beginning. Cheerio!
One more thing: these bangs are killing me. I liked the bangs when she was styled for the film with Johnny Depp, but now the bangs are just making her look a bit trashy, right?

bangs are fine, it hides her 5 head
How do bangs make you look trashy? I swear bangs are so far from trashy. They are the sweetest, safest, hair look you can have. I spent my whole pre-k thru 4th grade life in huge bangs my mom would roller set the night before like a crazy person.
I love hearing Angie’s voice to. Angie has a very pleasant speaking voice and she talks like grown woman should talk.
Not all movie set blood is the liquid kind. There is plastic fake blood to help make scars and stuff. You just sorta use adhesive and place it on your skin.
Angelina is sooo not gonna do that movie.
UNICEF is currently taking donations to help the food victims.
“Angelina Jolie lets the kids play with blood ”
Oh Ang, what’s next guns?
I like the bangs a lot, they make her look young and cute.
And hey, if I were a little kid, I’d have loved to play with fake blood too.
What’s the next non-story going to be? Angelina Jolie lets her kids eat raw cookie dough! Angelina Jolie lets her kids use adult-sized scissors! Angelina Jolie let her kids skip brushing their teeth last night!
When is a story – not a story(?) When its not a story. I agree with GatsbyGal..
man, if I had access to a hollywood make-up trailer when I was a kid you better believe I’d be all up in there!
how fun!
I usually don’t click on Angelina stories because we see her everywhere. But I did because I wanted to comment and say thanks for the non-misleading post titles.. love that. Upgrade. Then after clicking.. I found these beautiful pictures of her. She truly looks fulfilled. I can’t hate on her.
What’s wrong with playing with fake blood. It’s no different than a Hallowe’en party with a house of horrors where olives are eyeballs, spaghetti noodles are guts etc. It’s fake!! Lots of fun. Lucky kids. Angie sounds like a fun mom with normal kids. How refreshing is that.
I LOVE the bangs- bangs are classy & flattering! I’m dying for an interviewer to ask her something that really matters: WHAT DOES SHE DO TO GET THAT PERFECT SKIN??? lol! Has anyone ever asked her?? and god, that hair! She is stunning & absolutely radiant!
I love her hair right now, including the bangs. It gives her a softer look. How on earth do you get trashy from that? That interview clip was sweet. Nice to know she feels she’s lucky, unlike some of the entitled twats out there (Lindsay).
Re: the “trashy” bangs. Maybe I just don’t care for bangs in general. I have bangs trauma from when I was a kid, and seeing them on grown women makes me twitch a little. It’s like a mullet for for your forehead.
Also, lately I’ve been getting a very “Southern” vibe from Angelina, and not in a good way. (I’m Southern, y’all, don’t hate). Jolie’s been giving me Southern pageant-mom vibes.
“Southernn pageant-mom vibes.”
That doesn’t even make sense!! Seriously.
Fake blood, makeup and fancy clothing is a childs dream come true.
lol I would have loved to play with fake blood too!
I can totally see kids loving playing in the makeup trailer – it’s like Halloween every day.
I can’t see an insurance company being thrilled to hear that kids, or anyone not working on and insured for the film, were flying around in the harnesses though.
The bangs are OK, but the overall cut and style needs some cleaning up. My hair gets like that when it’s been too long between cuts.
I think her makeup here is lovely. The glittery fabric of the dress and the pink is pretty, but the shape is terrible.
why is her face so damned shiny? botox? oil? sweat?
It appears to be very humid and hot that day. The dress might be stunning on someone else but it does nothing for her. It looks awful and so do her arms. She’s pretty though.
Love the hair but the dress is ugh. C’mon Angie, you can do way better than that.
“Mullet for your forehead”
Haha, I love that! I feel the same way. Bangs are rarely the best look for adults. I am 8 months pregnant with a baby girl and already refuse the idea of her having bangs. I want to give her more of a Pebbles Flinstone top of the head pony tail with the bang hair.
Isn’t she just so special & doesn’t she make sure we all know it.
Fake blood to go with the fake guns. Why not?? Let’s throw some fake vomit and body parts and food and whatever the hell else they want to!!! Yeehaw!
I actually really like the bangs on her. It suits her – makes her look younger and more girlish; less the cold vixen.
I think it’s just your bangs trauma talking here Kaiser. 😉
I don’t care if it is fake movie blood, its still creepy as hell!
Fake blood ,my kids love that stuff. Just saw pics of AJ @Paris premiere she looks great her hair is up and she is wearing silver sparkly/ metallic cocktail dress.
So, the fake bangs make her look trashy…but NOT the faded and ugly prison tatoos. Trash is trash…bangs or not. She is trashy either way.
I would have loved that when I was a kid,, actully it sounds kind of fun now.
She’s beginning to look like Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn in ‘Death Becomes Her’. Her face is about as life like as her wax figure in Madame Tussaud’s.
Love Angie, Hate the dress
My daughter has played with fake blood – and wigs and makeup and all kinds of stuff – since she was a toddler. She likes to talk about special effects she sees on TV and how we’re fooled into thinking things are actually happening in movies and on TV, but they aren’t.
It’s no big deal, it just sounds like a big deal ’cause it’s Angelina doing it.
A really fugly dress; but she does have the prettiest eyes.
The dress is a bit odd…
But she looks absolutely amazing!
oh, your source is US Weekly, i don’t believe US the weaklings. Angie hasn’t been giving them exclusive interviews for years so I’m gonna take their story with a HANDFUL of SALT! blood and harnesses? yeah right! ANGIE (the human being) IS STUNNING. i don’t necessarily love the dress but i love that she never conforms to other people’s ideals. she’s constantly showing me that she’s comfortable with who she is and that she’s nobody’s pawn! i respect that a lot.
Gosh that face is just stunning, very, very beautiful woman.
Oh and I love that her skin isn’t Oompa Loompa (sp) orange either!
stop reading Lainey
I like playing with the fx stuff and I’m in my 30’s!
I like bangs. I have bangs. Besides, the bangs hide her forehead vein.
She is so boring…everything she does smacks of effort. Poser.
