Angelina Jolie is obsessed with her appearance, so her harshest critics would say. They picture her as some Machiavellian madwoman, sitting up in her French lair surrounded by babies and stroking a fluffy white kitty named “Murder McMeowington”. Or something, I can’t keep up with the latest conspiracy theory.
So OK! has a story about how Angelina really wants to wear this really blinged-out necklace for the Oscars. Of course, it’s not that simple. As she shops with her girls in New York, she’s apparently been driving all of the New York jewelers “crazy” because she’s looking for “the impossible”. What’s so impossible again? A $20 million necklace. I can’t believe I know this, but during Oscar season, $20 million necklaces grow on trees. Every major jeweler in the world ships major pieces into Los Angeles so that the stars can borrow and advertise.
Preparing for the Academy Awards is a frenzied affair, and even the normally low-key Angelina Jolie is caught up in the madness.
“She’s been driving all of the high-end jewelers of New York crazy,” a source tells OK!
“She’s looking for the impossible — a drop dead gorgeous $20 million diamond necklace to wear to the Oscars.”
Angie’s quest for the best bling isn’t just about decorating her neck: “She really wants it to be a show-stopper and is making sure that she is the one everyone has their eyes on this Sunday — and not Jennifer Aniston,” the insider adds.
If her Oscar nomination and Brad Pitt on her arm doesn’t quite give her the edge over the other actress, $20 million necklace should just about do it!

Of course it’s about Jennifer Aniston. Of course. Here’s what I think really happened – while Angie was shopping with her girls, she probably stopped into a few jewelry shops to see what they had. She’s probably already got her dress, so she knew what she wanted. The jewelers’ maybe couldn’t accommodate her, thus an OK! story is born.
Even though Angie’s style choices have been hit-or-miss lately, I always like her jewelry choices. She has really great taste in earrings and necklaces, and I can’t wait to see what she’s picked out for the Oscars.

Angelina could go wearing a sack and still look gorgeous. We are talking about ANGELINA JOLIE.
six children. ex moved on. the jig is up press. Really. you’re still paying these “informants?” Way to stimulate the economy.
Ps. Jen will have her own BORROWED 20 mil necklace.
The only way such a pissing contest is impressive or remotely plausible is if stars like actually owned and paid for crap. What glory is in “i borrowed better than you?”
Stupid.
Nooooooooo, Angie doesnt shop for jewels- the designers beg her to wear their stuff- they would go-to-her.
what rubbish.
and I dont accept humanitarian Angie would actually spend that sort of money on rocks
“Murder McMeowington” 😆
Funny write up, K. What would really be funny is if she turned up wearing a gaudy, glitter-bedecked necklace made by Shiloh and Zee. No $20M bling could compete with that.
Nope, I don’t think so. As the others have said, there is no shortage of insane jewelry being offered up at oscar time, and she is a huge star, like her or not. They are no doubt banging down her door begging her to wear their stuff.
And I just don’t think that Jennifer Aniston is her motivation with regard to anything. She has 6 kids, for cryin’ out loud! She is surely way too busy for such petty foolishness.
Those are some freeeeeekin’ cute kids!
I seriously doubt Angie’s concerned about impressing Jennifer Aniston.
Bet it’s the other way around though.
Yeah, the high-profile actors have designers and jewellers inundate them with offers. They don’t really have to shop around unless it’s between smaller, independent designers and jewellers known to them personally.
No dice on this story.
I’ll bet neither of them is as interested in the other one as the celebrity press wishes. I can’t imagine that either of them is setting out to “impress” the other.
I do hope that Jennifer Aniston wears something other than black, though. That look has been tired for a long time.
I don’t think they will out to impress each other..Jen has moved on nicely…
I can’t believe Angelina would be so insensitive as to wear such an ostentatious piece of jewelry, knowing how bad things are due to this economic crisis. Not only that, has she forgotten how Africans have lost their lives for those damn diamonds?
I don’t think that Angelina is that stupid to wear something so overly expensive to impress her so-called “rival” when the rest of the country is in a economic recession and families are losing there homes ?
And why does she have to impress Aniston when she has six kids with Brad ? They are the real diamonds !
She will probably wear something vintage combined with a Target necklace to set the standard for everybody else and people can praise her for her orginality….Saint Angie all the way lol !!!
You all sound like a bunch of holy rollers worshiping your St. Angelina the humanitarian!! Wow scary and at the same time nauseating!
Her daughters are adorable. She’s gorgeous and whoever said designer’s are seeking her out is probably right. And she’ll already have her best accessory at her side.
@Maritza – um, the story’s made up… the ‘insider’ saying “..making sure she’s the one everyone has their eyes on this Sunday — and not Jennifer Aniston,” kind of gives it away, I’d have thought…
Maybe it’s a present? Hubby got me diamond earrings (small ones) after I gave birth.
I don’t care what she wears or how much it costs I just hope she goes home with Brad as her only golden boy because there is no way she is Oscar worthy! I aso hope he goes home empty handed, they are both so over rated.
😆 @ Murder McMeowington! If I ever get a kitty, I’m going to name it that!
Anyhoo, I call BS on the story too. There is no way some one as high profile as Angelina Jolie (or Jennifer Aniston) would have to shop for anything remotely Oscar attire-related. Designers are throwing clothes & jewelry at all of them!
looks like Angelina needs comfort items too. A whole bunch of insecure people raising each other! ; (
to Bros2 : I’m not a Angie fan and the Saint comment i made was just a joke ? I was being sarcastic, did you read the lol comment at the end ???
She manipulates the media just like all the other celebs out there i just don’t think that every step she takes has to do with miss Aniston ?
So don’t be scared unless your comment is also sarcastic ?
Since “environmentalist” Angelina doesn’t seem to care about the refugees created by the effects of global warming as she stomps out a carbon footprint the size of Africa, I seriously doubt she gives a damn about those forced to work in diamond mines to dig out those $20m gems.
Anyway, whatever she wears she’ll look like a bizarrely-waxy skeleton and still the Brangaloonies will fawn over how beautiful she looks. The woman needs help, not adulation at this point, or those 6 little kids will be growing up without a mother.
What does this have to do with Aniston? This story seems pretty lame.
None of the major stars are doing their own shopping, for crying out loud! Ever hear of a stylist – the person bringing the dresses, jewels, etc. to the stars. This story is a crock, and raise your hand with me if you are over the trumped up bad blood between AJ and JA. Maybe, just maybe, like most fairly well-adjusted 30 and 40 somethings, everyone has MOVED ON.
I’ve read that only Oscar nominees (not presenters) are going to walk the red carpet this year, so there’s no way Jen and Ange are going to bump into each other. Maybe at the after-party!
Apparently the Oscar committee is concerned that too many people are watching the red carpet previews and then tuning out the awards show. By taking the presenters off the red carpet, you have to watch the show in order to see them, thus a bigger audience for the show.
In TV land, the number of viewers translates into dollars, so this will mean more money for the Academy prodcuers and less for E!, which is probably making a fortune off the red carpet show.
Bodhi, Geronimo – It was either Murder McMeowington or Fluffy McHomewrecker. I couldn’t decide!
“Murder McMeowington”.
You’re killing me Kaiser. That line made me laugh so hard I think I may have split my pants.
c’mon now…no one really believes that Angelina Jolie gives a flying f**K about Aniston. She is a more successful movie star, beautiful (unlike Aniston), has the finest man in the business, and the most awesome family in the world. Jennifer has Mayer, and her dog, and tired rom-coms and silly dog movies.
😆 Kaiser!! Fluffy McHomewrecker is brillian too!!
K – You went with the right one – no improving on McMeowington! 😛
This is beyond stupid.
It doesn’t really say that she is doing the ‘driving all high-end jewelers crazy’ on site. This story could very well be true in the way that she’s rejecting all the loans that the jewelers are offering her.
And that I can actually believe. Just because she always looks frumpy doesn’t mean she’s not all for the most expensive stuff. Like wearing Louboutins almost exclusively…
I hardly think they are out to impress anyone..Angelina swallows all the hype about her being “the most beautiful”..but I think Jen will have the last laugh..I don’t think Angelina will win anything, unless the have a “most horrible accent in a movie” catagorie..Brad..maybe..but I doubt he will win either…I doubt that AJ and JA will even be in the same room together…
I really do like Ange and all, but I really dislike the rumor that she’s hunting down 20mil in diamonds. Ya know? I thought as smart as she is and as much work as she does for the UN, she ought to be a little more socially/environmentally conscientious. Ah well. “. . .hate the game” I guess.
Ms Wuderlust I was aiming at Jacqueline, her comment about the “humanitarian Angie” turned my stomach, bleh!! I totally got your sarcasm but just about the rest of the posters make it seem like they belong to the St. Angelina cult!! It’s not normal!!
Especially Betty B!!
That’s assuming we believe she’s actually doing that.
Which I don’t.
Because as everyone’s stated already, jewelers are going to go to HER. Not the other way around.
And I’m totally with you on the her wearing a necklace made of macaroni and glitter (the herpes of craft supplies.)
Supa FLy..hang you pic in here so we can se how beautiful you are lol I am sure that you are much better looking the AJ or JA roflmao. YOu jealousy is really showing in here..must not be that great yourself huh?
“and raise your hand with me if you are over the trumped up bad blood between AJ and JA.” *hand firmly raised in the air*
These two couldn’t give a baker’s f*ck about each other. Both of them have quite clearly gotten over whatever it was that transpired 4 years ago. The tabloids like to include both in whatever “story” they have to sell magazines.
Angelina Jolie doesn’t need to go to jewelry stores. Everyone knows that the jewelers call and send things over to entice celebrities into wearing them.
*gasp* I didn’t say something negative about Angelina Jolie. Stop the presses…*eye roll*
meow!
What the stars wear–clothes, jewelry–is like a walking advertisement for the designers/jewlers (shoe makers, etc).
OF COURSE the jewels are borrowed–often the dresses are made for a huge discount as well.
This is one of the most pathetic attempts at a Angie/Jen rivalry story I have ever seen.
I could have made up my own more believable one than that!
This is exactly what popped into my head too, pretty much:
“I can’t believe Angelina would be so insensitive as to wear such an ostentatious piece of jewelry, knowing how bad things are due to this economic crisis. Not only that, has she forgotten how Africans have lost their lives for those damn diamonds?”
I totally agree with you, Maritza. I think the blood diamond trade has been pretty well-documented, and Angelina CAN BE A TAD SELF-RIGHTEOUS, so I don’t really feel that bad about judging her harshly. Yes, she’s a gorgeous woman. And I happen to think she’s pretty intelligent, too, which ultimately gives her no excuse. It might be sparkly, but a bigass diamond necklace isn’t exactly the most politically-sensitive thing to wear right now. Or ever, really.
What is your problem, Judy?? Why are you attacking Supa Fly, because she has an opinion different from yours? Have you seen the many pictures of Jolie with her waxy face?
I understand being a fan of Angelina but you are freakin rude.
This article is beyond stupid.
I dunno, you kinda wanna look good at the Oscars no matter if a guest a presenter ect and although they are both grown women, the fact is there IS rivalry there as Jen is Brads ex with a history and Angie is his current, and the reason for the divorce…really!! The Oscar people did this on purpose anyway! gonna be high ratings this yr ;)Cant wait to see how each look, if AJ does have flashy diamonds it will proove how shallow she is, although I doubt she will wear 2mil diamond necklas.
ST. Angie is not such a saint, we all know weather you admit it or not what went on in her past….JA is beautiful in and out and never did anything wrong…..I really dont understand this ST. Angie bullshit 🙂
Why is every story printed about her believed. She wears very little jewelry. I doubt she is looking for a 20 million dollar necklace.. I could see some designer begging her to wear it, but even then I don’t think she would. Other then St. Johns, she does not promote any designer. She is really low key. Note she was not front and center at fashion week. So this like 95% of the stories about Angie/Brad are more likely FAKE…
Iam concerned about those two kids… only Shiloh seems to be growing..
DEATH to the triange!
The tabloids need to move on from the triangle; it has become old and beyond stupid. I hope everyone kisses and makes up on the red carpet today and we can all go on with our sorry lives.
Am I the only one to realise that Jolie didn’t wear her expensive necklace at the oscar !!?! I was told that the Oscar Theme was LEAN and they asked the guests to not be so flashy…would Angie agree to that after spending 20$M on a stupid necklace ?
Okay, now why do I look at these photos and I automatically see Octopussy-mom?
