Photographer Mario Testino shared some outtakes from Angelina Jolie’s December Vanity Fair shoot on his Instagram. Well, I say “outtakes” but they’re really just behind-the-scenes pics. One of them just seems like a personal snap between two friends. Testino has been photographing Angelina for years now, almost always for Vogue or Vanity Fair. She’s also tight with Annie Leibovitz – I think Annie has probably been photographing Jolie for a lot longer than Testino. I don’t have a favorite between Testino and Leibovitz, honestly. They’ve both created iconic photos of Angelina in particular. I think she usually looks sexier in Testino’s photos and Annie makes her look more beautiful. Testino wrote this on his Instagram (and yes, he used KANYE CAPS LOCK):
WITH THE AMAZING ANGELINA. SHE ALWAYS SURPRISES ME WITH WHAT SHE IS DOING. ACTING, DIRECTING, RAISING CHILDREN, BEING A WIFE, ETC, ETC! AND ALWAYS LOOKING GREAT AND GIVING GREAT ENERGY. @VanityFair #DecemberIssue
Nice. So, what’s Angelina up to these days? Well, she’s just about to start her major awards season push. Unbroken won’t be released until Christmas, but I’m sure she’ll be screening it for weeks in advance, plus I’m hoping she does a lot of interviews. Angelina is set to make her first awards-show appearance this Friday, at the Hollywood Film Awards. They will be televised (for the first time) on CBS. A lot of people are already confirmed too – besides Angelina, the list includes Robert Pattinson, Eddie Redmayne, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jennifer Lopez, Johnny Depp, Kristen Stewart (Twihard Dramz!), Channing Potato, Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pratt, Jack O’Connell (Angelina’s lead guy in Unbroken), Gerard Butler and many, many more. So, that will be exciting. So far, there’s no confirmation about whether Jennifer Aniston will show up to shill her potential Oscar-nominee (ha), Cake. But “sources” are already claiming that Jennifer and Angelina are headed for an “Oscar Showdown.”
The anticipation for the 2015 Academy Awards is growing — and the nominees haven’t even been announced yet! But this year, the real show could be in the audience, since bitter rivals Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are both expected to attend.
Both are currently surrounded by buzz regarding Oscar nominations: Brad Pitt’s current wife, 39, is a frontrunner in the Best Director category for Unbroken, and Aniston, Pitt’s 45-year-old ex-wife is considered a lock for her role in Cake after the film got a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“It’s going to be the most talked-about event of the awards season, and everyone is hoping for a major catfight!” a Hollywood insider told The ENQUIRER. “But each of them have told Oscar organizers that under no circumstances is there to be any risk of a run-in.”
As such, according to the magazine, “Organizers are going to great lengths to ensure there are no incidents involving the two actresses.”
“If anything goes wrong, there will be hell to pay!” the source told The ENQUIRER. “There will be a huge push to get these two in the same photo. No one wants to miss it.”
Yep, the tabloids are still playing this game. It’s like everyone has forgotten the 2009 Oscars, when Brad Pitt was up Best Actor for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Jennifer just had to sign on as a presenter, just so she could trot out her boyfriend John Mayer. There were no photos of Angelina and Jennifer in the same frame, although Angelina did have an exquisite look on her face when Jennifer and Jack Black presented together.

That black and white picture is freaking me out in a bad way.
I know…it’s like she’s channeling Joan Crawford….
Toothy.
Imperfect smiles. We all have them. And we all have angles that make us showcase our flaws. I was appreciating that picture and the teeth because it’s genuine.
She looks ill.
I wish I would look ill like that! She’s beautifull!
Agreed, I just do not understand the appeal of this woman. Not ever.
No, I think she’s a beautiful, but she looks bad in this particular picture.
She is a classic beauty, she never has a bad word to say about anyone and she does a lot of good. Whats not to understand, Artimis?
There’s something to be said for opinions that only mean to flow against the grain.
She’s kind, generous, a freakin Dame who’s married to a hot and talented actor.
We all have our bias on topics, but to not like someone who walks the walk on charitable deeds alone earns a side eye. Too many people get their news from Star mag or People instead of the AP.
if she looks ill looking like that i think i wouldnt mind at all
That face. THAT FACE. THAT.FACE.
That.
Face.
I know, right? It’s unfair. Just unfair.
+100000 and I love her blue eyes/brown hair combo.
Is she naturally blue-eyed? I was watching Lara Croft yesterday, she looks very different now….
I always thought she had hazely eyes.
She wore contacts to play Lara Croft. She has blue eyes. Wasn’t her mother part Native American? I’m Choctaw and Euro and I have noticed that often results in blackish brown hair and blue eyes.
Her eyes are not blue,they Photoshopped them.Her eyes are green/hazel depending on light.
Angelina has light green eyes, which sometimes look grey-blue. They have a touch of amber around the pupil.
http://i62.tinypic.com/sq5hrs.jpg
Hazel is a combo of brown and green. Angelina doesn’t have hazel eyes.
no treble, no treble…GAH!!!!
did you do that on purpose, you lil stinker? 🙂
Yep. She’s absolutely stunning.
How great would it be if the three of them ran into each other at one of these events and just chatted? A no hard feelings sort of thing. It’d be epic, and a lot of this constant BS would die down. I’d LOVE that.
a LOT of us would.
Yeah, I was just scrolling down to post exactly that. Maybe a meeting on the red carpet, some cheek kissing and congratulating.
-double post-
@Savu, who wrote: “How great would it be if the three of them ran into each other at one of these events and just chatted? A no hard feelings sort of thing. It’d be epic, and a lot of this constant BS would die down. I’d LOVE that.”
As Kaiser said, they already did that at the 2009 Oscars. Angelina was a nominee for the Best Actress Oscar (for “Changeling”) and Brad Pitt was a nominee for the Best Actor Oscar. Jennifer Aniston wasn’t up for anything, but was asked (or got her PR guru Steve Huvane to ‘suggest’) to present. Angie and Brad were seated in the front row. Jennifer Aniston came out on stage, pretended to flub a joke by forgetting a key line/point, then she paused and looked directly at Brad Pitt for a 5-count. Angelina, for her part, nodded in time with Jen’s joke and then smile and applauded with everyone else when it was done. That staged ‘first contact’ incident was said (at the time) to have deflated the pent up pressure of an anticipated cat fight.
I think the press would finally move on if Jen actually gets married to Justin instead of doing this long tease. As soon as she says “I do” to another man the long-lived triangle BS will finally die a well deserved death.
In my opinion, as long as she remains tragically single (Poor Jen deserves to be happy!) the perpetual myth of Brad suddenly coming to his senses and begging Jen to take him back remains a popular delusion among many of her fans.
The best would be if Brad, Angie, Jen, and Justin would all appear together in a jimmy Fallon skit!!! EPIC!!!
Brad and Angelie seems to “staged and fake” to me. Either they’re painfully shy and awkward in public…or they LOVE being the center of attention and are just playing the part of the two most in love/lust couple on the planet. Everyone tries to say Angelie could care less about Jen…or any other woman…but folks….I’m a woman. ALL WOMEN know the name of the game is keep your claws sharpened and tucked beneath your shawl. You never ever let the competition know they’re actually in the game. She’s smart enough to load up on kids as an anchor to keep Brad securely fastened to her hip. Will he ever leave her for Jen. No. Will he ever leave her for another hotter, younger babe….possibly…but he’d have to walk the walk of shame with six pair of eyes watching him go. That’s not happening any time soon. Besides, he thinks she makes HIM look like the macho man…She’s a feather in his cap…or so he thinks.
Frankly I never “got” why either of them are so special. She is attractive…not smiling…he’s attractive…smiling. They are fortunate to live such a nice life style.
So are their children.
Suzanne the irony is that it was Brad would wanted a large family, not Angelina. So maybe Brad anchored her with children? Since she clearly did not want biological children before she met him. But as usual, it has to be the woman who is the manipulative bad person. Women are truly nasty to other women. Jealousy, is what I think it is. Women are our own worst enemies. Paranoid, jealous and insecure women like you really bring shame on our gender. That behaviour is also what turns men off.
Opinions on the subjects aside, Brad Pitt has never really been a ‘trade them in for a younger model’ kind of guy. And he was vocal for years about wanting to get married, settle down, amd have a family. That was part of why people like him and Aniston together in the first place – there was kind of a perception that Gwyneth screwed him over.
“I’m a woman. ALL WOMEN know the name of the game is keep your claws sharpened and tucked beneath your shawl. You never ever let the competition know they’re actually in the game.”
This seems like a rather stressful way to live in a partnership. No, thanks…
+ 1 Isadora. What kind of relationships do you have Suzanne? They sound like a nightmare.
@Suzanne, who wrote: “ALL WOMEN know the name of the game is keep your claws sharpened and tucked beneath your shawl. You never ever let the competition know they’re actually in the game.”
LOL! Please, speak for yourself and not for ‘all’ women … at least, not for me. I was never part of the junior high and high school girl clique/catty mean girl thing (sorry, but that’s what ‘sharpening claws’ screams to me). I never thought of every girl/woman I knew as competition nor have I thought of dating as a ‘game’ or a guy something I had to or wanted to compete with other girls to get. After all, it still takes two people to make anything happen. I know I’m sort of a square peg in a round hole world, but I really don’t think I’m unique or singular in that aspect of my life.
@Suzanne, that is a sad way to go through life, waiting for male validation and treating other women as enemies.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMS4VJKekW8
Self worth goes a long way.
@Suzanne
I now realise I have been doing this whole relationship thing wrong for the past 12 years. I let my husband remain friends with his exes and didn’t use my claws on his female best friend. Luckily, He and his friends must not have gotten the memo either.
That would be pretty cool to see actually.
It would be nice, but the tabloids and some fans would fabricate all kinds of stuff about it to force more drama.
There’s a lot of back and forth here that I don’t buy.
Aniston could put this whole thing to bed. She could. Angie has. Brad has. If Handler suddenly stopped her Jolie attacks and Aniston got married ending this single Jen without a husband post Brad it would all end. And it’s no secret Aniston’s PR is well formed, but transparent.
It simply needs to end. She’s rich, happy, working. There’s no poor Jen post Brad. Brad was the best thing to happen for her career. If Jen no longer fed into it via her PR or friends even her fans or gossip sites couldn’t rekindle that.
Just finished reading the VF article; wonderful.
Such a beautiful woman. Wow
From the trailer Unbroken seems like a typical WW2 film. So far, I’m not impressed.
Also, Jack O’Connell is allegedly datin Cara Delenvigne and she shared a picture of his neck coverd in hickeys on her Instagram. How romantic.
So romantic.
came across this featurette on youtube, with an interview with Angelina that looks like a behind the scene. but it doesn’t seem to be a Universal Pictures sanctioned footage? i can’t find an explanation of it anywhere in official channels and it has such a very low view count… i wonder if it’s leaked footage or fanmade footage? anyone know?
http://youtu.be/OPBIy27SroY
it seems legit though, with footage of Angeline and Louie going through scrapbooks and the whole priest’s sermon.
i heard that the film will stop at the point when the PoWs are liberated. so i guess the young Louie in the church scene will be the only one referencing Louie’s faith and conversion?
amazing, I cannot wait to see this, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for posting
That MOUTH!!! Huge…. And please stop messing with your nose. Looking a little Michael Jacksonish!
I’m waiting for @Mayamae to drop by and comment on ‘hearts and unicorns.’ 🙂
She has had no nose jobs yet an ex-sitcom star has.
Now this is a breathtakingly beautiful woman, gorgeous loving husband, 6 wonderful children, award winning career & universally praised for her humanitarian.
And I am not even feeling jealous of her – okay maybe a tiny bit.
I actually felt sorry for Jennifer in 2009 – there she was on the stage presenting with one of Angelina & Brad’s close friends. And Angelina wins hands down over jennifer because Angelina doesn’t even play the game. She is confident in herself, Brad and her abilities.
Jennifer took John Mayer back even after he publically called her names, discussed their sex life, dumped her infront if the pap – just because Jennifer didn’t have the courage to go to the awards without a man by her side.
Angelina is confident & secure while Jennifer is insecure & needy which is why it’s laughable claiming there will be a cat fight. Jennifer fights dirty (her own words) and does it behind the scene while acting sweet and nice. Besides Angelina only has to give one look with her eyebrow lifted (Lara Croft style) and Jennifer will run away crying with her hair extensions hiding her face.
I’m not completely disagreeing with you, but I think a lot of women would feel insecure around Angelina, add in the rumor that she played a part in the demise of your marriage and it’s understandable why Jennifer wouldn’t want to face that alone.
I find it strange that Aniston is needy when Brad was the one who literally had no break inbetween JA and AJ. That is supposed to highlight how horrible JA was when for me it ALSO highlights BP’s needy nature. Especially knowing that BP who (just like Depp) had a penchant to get engaged within a hot second and declare his undying love to his lady at the moment. But when BP married JA she was called a ‘rebound’ despite the fact that there was more than a year and several girls inbetween Goop and her.
I think most Hollywood stars are needy and insecure because how else can you explain all the cheating, the clearly dysfunctional marriages that follow after off-on relationships? All the drama? Not saying this is Brangelina but BP was very much Hollywood pre-Jolie. He needed her more to change than vice versa. Just read Jamie Oliver’s wife’s account of when she met him. Totally a delusional Hollywood product.
@Jess, who wrote: “I’m not completely disagreeing with you, but I think a lot of women would feel insecure around Angelina, add in the rumor that she played a part in the demise of your marriage and it’s understandable why Jennifer wouldn’t want to face that alone. ”
There was never a rumor. According to both Jen and Courtney Cox, Brad was honest with Jen in telling her he wanted out of the marriage because he thought he had a real connection with another woman and wanted to pursue it. Jen knew who that woman was, and was told that nothing had happened between them. The ‘rumor’ was never proved while Brad and Jen were married.
Usually, people who leave their spouses for someone else are already knees deep in an affair when the sh$t hits the fan, as in being spotted out together all loved up as soon as a separation is announced and sometimes even before (and yes, I’m looking at Jen and Justin). In ‘this’ instance, it was 4-months after the announced Aniston-Pitt separation and a month after Jen filed for divorce before Angie and Brad were photographed together.
Brad seems to be the biggest a-hole out of the 3, and the most responsible one, yet all the blame has been put on the women – either Jen or Angie, depending on who you ask.
Emma, I forgot about all that, good point! I think it would make any woman feel insecure, knowing your husband left you for someone else. I was cheated on and left 7 months pregnant, maybe that’s why I have a soft spot for Aniston, I can’t imagine having to endure that heartbreak and embarrassment so publicly.
@Jess: so sorry to hear about you being cheated on. It must have been extra hurtful being pregnant as well.
You say that you have a soft spot for Jennifer because of that. I have a question and I want you to answer it as honest as you can. Since you know the pain of betrayal – would you ever do that to another woman? Would you ever be the other woman?
Jennifer did exactly that. She played the victim, did the whole I was betrayed routine etc and then turned around and did the same thing she accused Angelina. Infact Jennifer didn’t hesitate to release pictures of her being lovey dovey with Justin before Heidi moved out of the apartment.
That is why I say that Brad and Angelina never cheated and was always honest with Jennifer and waited until they were separated. Because if Jennifer was truly betrayed and knows that pain she would never have done it to another woman.
Artemis Jen jumped onto Vince Vaughn before Brad and Angelina got together, so that makes her needier.
Exactly Maya. I have a soft spot for Angie because I cannot imagine having to have lies and your character defamed in public.
@Artemis
Ironically enough, I’ve always seen Jennifer as the complete opposite of needy. Maybe she’s described that way, by some, because of how she took John Mayor back? She was probably in a dong haze. But yeah–I’ve never seen her as someone who is so desperate to be in a relationship. Like Arya Martell said–having a boyfriend/fiance/husband seems to be like a check on a list. She seems to be more into her girlfriends.
As for Brad–I have the feeling that that’s what he didn’t like about himself. He said that he picked/tried to pick interesting film roles, because he wasn’t interesting. I guess some people consider JA needy because her life really hasn’t changed, and Brad’s has. Time has a way of altering perceptions.
Also, I always kinda felt that because of her interviews in the first 3-4 years about the divorce, that’s why it became a catfight that’s lasted ten years. If Brad’s the douchebag according to you, he wasn’t according to her. It was Angelina, according to her. But that’s why I like discussing it–it’s interesting to me. First real gossip I cut my teeth on.
_______________
I never thought Jennifer was dumb for feeling insecure/lost/etc after her separation/divorce….no matter what Brad told her, no matter how much she knew. The reality often differs from what you imagine. To me, it seems like she was fine with Brad after their separation–they went to parties together, he threw her a birthday party,etc. They were fine. But I think the shizz hit the fan when she saw that it was serious, and that the media was going to cast her as the victim, and, to a smaller degree, as someone who was pathetic. And the fact that Angelina was at the height of her gorgeousness–well that doesn’t help. So I don’t think she was wrong to be upset at all–even if she was completely over it (I feel like they were both over it/not that into each other-it looks like she and Justin are repeating the same pattern, except maybe they understand each other)
The thing I don’t like about her whole post divorce persona, was that she put all of what happened on Angelina–and those are direct quotes–no insinuations whatsoever. And praised Brad multiple times, said he did nothing wrong to hurt her–but said that Angelina was the one who did all of ‘it’. And then talked about her kids. And then her friend Handler got involved. Repeatedly–and made personal attacks that could’ve only came from her bestie–in personal interviews, etc. And then after years of directly and indirectly playing the victim of Angelina, turns around and gets with a guy who has a girlfriend. Puts it out in interviews that she’s going back to NYC to do plays, get back to her roots i.e. bought apartments in NYC shortly after she and Justin finished filming Wanderlust (February 2011), and then sold them (in Fall 2011) as soon as Justin was following her around from LA to Cabo.
That’s the crap that makes me dislike her. If it hadn’t been for all of that, I’d like her a lot more–still wouldn’t like her movies though.
Jess why would you have a soft spot for Aniston a woman who was the cause of Justin and Heidi’s breakup of their 14 year marriage? If you were cheated on, why would you have a soft spot for Aniston who is a homewrecker? You’ve contradicted yourself.
Artemis, most everyone knows Brad moved on to Angelina so quickly because he got hit by the thunderbolt and fell in love with her – he was able to do this precisely because he probably wasn’t ever really truly in love with Aniston, and their relationship had theoretically ended some time before he even met Jolie… – aniston was a rebound. The very definition of it. They came across as more roomates and friends than passionate lovers. No chemistry whatsoever IMO. Aniston even once said they ‘helped each other heal.’ I think she was specifically talking about Paltrow and his bitterness and resentment over their breakup. Brad did the commentary for the Seven DVD and he notoriously said nothing about Paltrow or her scenes when she came onscreen (this was while he was married to aniston in 2000-2001). I feel once he got over that bad break with Paltrow (by 2003 or so) he was ready to fall in love (for real) again.
@Jess, who wrote: I was cheated on and left 7 months pregnant,…”
I’m so sorry to hear that and I’m sorry for the pain you went through. I hope things are good in your life now. 🙂
Oops, I completely forgot about the Heidi situation. That’s not acceptable in my opinion, and of course I’d never be the other woman after what I’ve been through, disappointing to think of Aniston doing that, no excuse for that behavior.
Emma the JP lover, thank you for the kinds words:)
who cares what happened? not like anyone will ever know the truth. i doubt jen or angie give two flips about each other anymore. jen/ange fans care more than the actual people involved do. and then people wonder why tabloids keep running stories about the three of them. it’s the story that keeps on giving. who cares who effed who? or if so and so effed so and so’s husband?
i’m prob wasting my breath, five bucks says i’ll have jen hens and angie hens atttacking me knows, it’s over, ya’ll, years ago. again who cares. not trying to attack anyone who posted here, i”m just amazed by the jen/angie thing. it’s like it’s either one or the other. i’m sure both have flaws
sorry if that sounds harsh, i just think we will never know the truth. and i”m surprised by the animosity between angie and jen fans. i think some women sympathize with one over the other due to personal experiences in their lives.
i think jen’s better overall in the looks department. angie has a pretty face but jen has cute face and better body. i love to travel and envy ange’s lifestyle but i can see how jen is more laid back or seems to be. i guess i’m one of the few that likes them both. again, i don’t really know them. …
Yeah you like them both but you end your philosophizing bizarrely saying Jen’s cuter with a better body and more laid back. Right. Oh and new eyeballs stat for you. Jen looks like dustin hoffman in tootsie and everyone knows it.
I see such great facial beauty in the Ang, and not to be OTT or sappy, but it inspires me. I’m not into her acting whatsoever, but I dig her humanitarian work and I am so captivated by the way her face is both soft and strong and the story it tells. I’m an illustrator and I incorporate her aesthetic into my characters to portray strong, beautiful women.
Spot on Falkor
That’s how I feel too…..her face is as uplifting as a graceful building, or a perfect piece of music…..I just accept it gratefully!
Cart before the horse,IMO, no one is nominated for anything yet.
I would love it if Angelina and Jennifer would do something together, like a PSA for charity. Can you imagine? Folks would go NUTS.
Also, Angelina looks beautiful here as always
Oh, that would be utterly scrumptious!
She’s so gorgeous. I would kill to have her cheekbones. Every time I get a little bit drunk I go off into a mini rant about how I need to have Angelina Jolie’s facial structure. Haha is pretty sad and pathetic on my part but oh well it’s the truth.
Just skip a few meals for two weeks and then you’ll have her cheekbones.
Unflattering photo here, usually she looks gorgeous. Love to see her on Friday @ CBS. I can’t wait to watch “Unbroken”, read the book.
So beautiful. I remember in an interview (pre Brad I think) she said her best physical feature was the big veins in her arms. How could you not love her?
I don’t think there will be a confrontation. Awards organizers will not risk embarrassing/alienating the b&a. They all want them there but I don’t think JA is a big draw. Haven’t all her movies this year been straight to video? Her fanbase can’t be that big if that is the case. I think she would be more popular/relevant if she had a popular tv show and was consistently winning Emmys and the odd Globe. Instead she is forcing this other career that doesn’t fit her and keeping this triangle alive single handedly.
I know Aniston’s team plants stories, but this one is the most obvious evidence to me that they plant stories AND work to keep the triangle of doom alive and well. Did anyone else catch that the Radar story says that Angelina is a ‘front runner’ for Best Director while Jen is ‘considered a lock’ for Cake? Um, ‘a lock’? I’ve heard lots of talk about how hard she’s working her campaign, but I haven’t heard anything about how amazing her performance is or her being anything more than a long shot.
I came here to post the same thing. What’s up with those “sources”? Cake didn’t get a distributor and from the looks of it the critics weren’t fascinated with the film either. The only universe where Jennifer is “a lock” is that of her thinking thoughts.
I was wondering if “Aniston, Pitt’s 45-year-old ex-wife is considered a lock for her role in Cake ” was going to make Celebitchy when I read the quoted article on Radar.com earlier today.
Spot on. This is a pure over the top Huvane tabloid plant and manufactured buzz, create an assumption and perception of a “lock,” repeat the oft used deceptive phrase “b-b-but she got a standing ovation at TIFF.” When you see that phrase you know it’s her pr planting bs, because TIFF is not Cannes (where the length of the applause and standing o determines how it’s being received and sometimes there are boos)..at TIFF every movie premiere with cast seated and in attendance gets a standing ovation. It’s not a referendum. Never has been. They’re canadians being polite thanking the cast and crew in the balcony (and under house spotlight as the credits roll!) for coming.
Her past terrible straight to DVD movies that she took to tiff before even got them – the absolute worst films get them.
Anytime you see that phrase, know it’s her pr flack hoping 80% of readers are ignorant of the TIFF film festival and protocol..and will be thinking:wow a standing ovation…not knowing they all get them without exception.
I think, she’s one of the most beautiful women in the world. I’m always mesmerized by her face.
As for the “showdown”, I think Jen should put her money where her mouth is and just let the event unfold rather than making diva threats. Afterall, Celebitchy quoted her as saying she’s forgiven people and holding on to grudges is toxic. So, let’s really see her new attitude in action.
Her face is like poetry.
I agree. Poetry.
I think the b&w photo is beautiful. It’s simple and natural, and her happiness shines through her face. Lovely. 🙂
She’s gorgeous!
She really is a strikingly beautiful woman, I can’t help but to keep staring at her! I watched most of the video from 2009 and all I saw was Angelina laughing at Jennifer’s joke, seemed harmless. I wish they’d run into each other at the Oscar’s and make a big production by hugging and laughing etc, then maybe this ridiculous triangle crap will go away!
Ang hugging Jen? The FF league would blow up. Heads would explode everywhere.
OTOH, Jen hugging Ang would cement her sainthood forever.
Always beautiful, but her face looks gaunt to me in the VF shoot. As thin as she gets, I’ve never felt her face looked gaunt or too thin ever, but the VF photos I do think her face looks too thin.
She is just so thin. I always wish she would just gain 20lbs but she is naturally very thin. I am as well but counter that with running and weight training. And chocolate.
I think she was at her thinnest making Unbroken, probably because the guys were all so emaciated for their parts. I almost wish she would do an action movie so she would have to bulk up a bit. I would even go see tomb raider 3 if she would plump up again.
Angelina has prominent cheekbones but you can see her cheeks under them are sunken in from lack of eating. There shouldn’t be that much of a dip and there wasn’t one in the past.
Angelina has a beautiful face but she looks gaunt. She is so thin. She looked so much better with a little weight on her like in the Tomb Raider movies.
If you see untouched photos of her that aren’t from the red carpet. Just her out and about on a boat or something, you’ll notice she doesn’t have a backside. It is flat. Angelina must wear a false bottom like Pippa was reported to at Kate’s wedding when Angelina’s on the red carpet or at a fashion magazine shoot.
@India, who wrote: “Angelina has a beautiful face but she looks gaunt. She is so thin. She looked so much better with a little weight on her like in the Tomb Raider movies.”
That was 15-years ago. How many people have you known for 15-years who look ‘exactly’ like they did 15-years ago? For that matter, do ‘you’ look exactly like ‘you’ did 15-years ago? Have you lost a parent and had two pregnancies, one of them with twins, and became a parent of 6 children in the past 15-years?
P.S. The woman stood up naked in “Wanted” and walked out of a pool away from the audience. She definitely ‘does’ have a backside. 🙂
@ Emma
I thought I read somewhere that they used a body double for the scene in Wanted. I might be wrong though! The only reason it stuck out in my mind was because I have a similar shape to her….large bust, kind of boyish hips and no bum!!!! It made me feel better to read that even the gorgeous angelina jolie needs help once in a while!!!
Lizzy1013, I thought I had read the same, and…
http://www.virginmedia.com/movies/features/naked-or-not.php?page=6
not sure of the legitimacy of that information, but I’d buy it. I’ve seen plenty of RC photos of her and she does seem to have “pancake bum” as you so “cheekily” put it. nothing wrong with it, not body-shaming or nuttin’…it’s not saggy, just flat.
(often, however, her man has his hand on it, so you can’t get a good look at it anyway…lol)
@doofus
Yeah, I’m not sure how reliable that is. The article said that they removed her tattoos in post production–Angelina’s said in interviews that she was so glad that she was doing this movie, because they could add to her tattoos–instead of her having to either spend a ton of time covering them in makeup, or them being removed digitally. I mean, even in that picture, you can see the Budhist prayer that she has on her shoulder for her oldest son.
But yeah–she doesn’t have a butt. Not a big one, anyway. The butt in ‘Wanted’ wasn’t ‘out of place’…it looked like her butt to me. But I don’t see the big deal either way. I don’t see it as something to make fun of her for (not saying you are, but I’ve seen other comments elsewhere disparaging her because she supposedly wore padded underwear on an rc once–who cares? It’s not your ass.)
http://gossip.whyfame.com/files/2010/12/angelina_jolie_nude_derriere.jpg
the tattoo thing threw me, too, but I figured Virgin Media was a kinda legit source but who knows where they got it. but from stills, that body looks to be thicker all over than Jolie is. not just bum, but also waist and limbs. that’s why I thought maybe it was true.
Yeah, I got no issue with padded undies OR a “chicken-cutlet” push up bra. I don’t think there’s a celeb out there who hasn’t used SOMETHING to enhance or “better” a feature of theirs.
even the great Helen Mirren admitted to wearing lucite “stripper heels” under her gowns to give herself an extra couple of inches.
@ al …
It’s Angelina. She turns and looks over her shoulder as she’s walking away, and those are certainly her own tattoos. I’ve never read anywhere that Angie used a body double in “Wanted.” I still maintain this is her body:

No double lizzy – don’t know where you heard that since at the time it was much talked about that it was all Angie all the way….director said so as did the actors -.also it’s a long shot you can see her face in the frame. I knew it was her, short waisted and long legged with a cute little butt.
What I don’t get is why doofus is not only searching the web for fake tabloid gossip to body shame Jolie but why a supposed fan is giving up and letting her do it by claiming a fake life & style tabloid story on a body double (where a news aggregator on virgin media got it) or a padded undies slam story from another tabloid might be true?
It could be true..and aniston could be a man…but I don’t go around saying it though. There are tons of gossipy smear stories on celebs but when you run around the Web trying to post the fake and/or unverified bs stories to diss subjects you don’t like you expose yourself.

You don’t get it? well, please allow me to attempt an explanation. another poster said they had heard it was a body double (which is done way more often than you might think in movies) and I had heard the same so I searched for any info on that. you know, to try to determine the truth and not just take someone’s word for it. Like so many others on this site do daily. I posted what I found, clearly indicating that I wasn’t vouching for the legitimacy of the source, just that I could buy it as I’ve seen some pics of her butt and it looks flat. I then go on to specifically state that there’s nothing wrong with a flat butt, it just IS, that’s all. I’m not saying that her butt is ugly, saggy, or needs work. just observing the shape of it. I don’t see where your claim of “body shaming” comes in.
“It could be true..and aniston could be a man…but I don’t go around saying it though.” except that you just did say it. sure, she could be, and I’m sure you could find a source that claims she is. go for it. I won’t be offended, I promise. contrary to what you want to believe, not everyone who dares to utter (what you perceive to be) a negative comment about Jolie is a “Jen Hen”.
As Bat said below, “There are people who hyperventilate over the slightest criticism of Angie’s hair or the curve of her lips.” I guess you are one of those fans.
@ India
In her defense, girls that were not blessed with curves have a really hard time getting a booty. I have a pancake bum and no matter how many squats or exercises i do, I will always have a flat behind. Even when I was 20 pounds heavier (of muscle, when I was an athlete) there was nothing going on back there. I have major booty envy and I think I would be willing to wear padded underwear in order to make a dress fall right!!!
i have an hourglass body but no booty. just wide and flat. i’ve tried squats and it didnt seem to do anything. i thought about wearing padded underwear too!
Try hip thrusts, it’s supposedly way more effective than squats. I read some stuff about it on blogs from very fit girls and no amount of squats gave them a booty. Hip thrusts did.
I’ve seen her backside in two films no photo shop and no stunt body double like some people…(see wanted, and gia) and she has a cute little bottom.. it curves right where it’s supposed to. Brad needs no more than a handful. He squeezes it often on Red carpets. Her man likes it.
@Brooklyn …
Well said ! 🙂
I thought the same thing when I saw “Wanted” in the theater. She’s very svelte, but everything’s right where it’s supposed to be, and really is in proportion for her frame.
Wow, Aniston is a lock for the Oscars? Jolie will be nominated as well? Sounds like a tacky PR-driven set-up. YIKES–if that really happens. The actors who put in good work will take a backseat to that never-ending tabloid circus.
And the award for best tabloid performance goes to . . . Jennifer Aniston. This year she pretended she was engaged, pregnant, and that she was a “serious” actress. As we all know, that means bravely foregoing make-up! Take a bow, Jennifer.
Meanwhile, the Pitts got married–it was a match made in (tabloid) heaven!
Congrats to all for a tabloid-worthy year and here’s an Oscar to boot. 🙂

One of the Most Beautiful Women in the history of Cinema.
Hedy Lamar level beauty.
“That’s Hedley!”
(sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
Blargh with Testino or Leibowitz, but moreso with Testino. So bored with Testino. Truly not my Portrait Photographer of the Year for any year. King of the back focus.
(Not a dig at how Angelina looks. Obviously, she looks great no matter who photographs her.)
OTOH, at least he has more range than that hack predatographer who always photographs LiLo. I can’t even write his name because I don’t want to get his karma anywhere on me.
She’s a shell of her former self. What’s going on?
You need your eyes checked?
I think she has really striking eyes, but never found her THAT beautiful. The Saint Angie phenomenon confuses me sometimes. It could be the fact that in secular societies, people miss praying to something? She’s the closest thing to a deity for some people? The hero worship thing is quite strange. Why not participate in your society or do some charity work yourself? No one sensible needs a hero(ine) to rescue them from anything or a role model to guide them through life.
Bat, don’t you think you are over-reacting or at least exaggerating? I have never seen anyone hero worship her. None of her fans do. The only ones who refer to her as ‘Saint Angie’ are the haters. Her fans do not think of her that way. That’s a myth oft repeated, but never holds up to evidence or scrutiny. Don’t confuse admiration and defense against the ‘Saint Angie Haters’ with worship.
You need to hop over to some of the trashier gossip sites. There are people who hyperventilate over the slightest criticism of Angie’s hair or the curve of her lips. They will go to war for them. I’m pretty sure of that.
Again, that’s defense. On those sites, the Aniston fans/haters are truly vile, so the Jolie fans defend in kind. If you’ve been to those sites, you’d know what I mean about the Aniston fans, now if any fangroup thinks of their idol as a saint, that is it.
Really? Never? Not even here: http://cbskymx2.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/51364703_10.jpg That’s strange..but hey people have different tastes.
However, there’s pretty much a consensus worldwide on why Angelina Jolie is thought of as one of the most beautiful women in the world. It has to do with her own staggering bone structure and just classical standards of beauty across most cultures.
For instance most people agree that big wide feline eyes are more aesthetically pleasing than small beady too close together eyes. Big full juicy lips rather than paper thin lips. A broad and high forehead rather than a low Teresa guidice forehead. A small cute nose rather than a big honker. Cute heart-shaped chin rather than a long Leno chin. Swan like neck rather than a thick footballers neck and thick deltoids.
Those are things when put all together usually 9 times out of 10 create a beauty across races and cultures. It’s why Lupita, Halle, Angelina, Scarlett Miranda Kerr, Charlize Theron, Zhang Jing, Aishwaryi Rai etc share many of the same features and are considered the most beautiful women in the world.
It’s not rocket science. But you can’t be bitter and envious. That leads one to say unbelievable eye rolling things like ‘I really don’t see why Angelina or charlize or scarjo are so pretty.’ Lol
God, this woman is beautiful.
My husband loves Jolie. I’m an avid film goer/watcher he is not but if I am watching TV, he’ll sometimes ask, “Is my girl on tonight?” He’ll watch her. LOL!
Same with my mother, even when she was dying of bone cancer she would make me go and buy magazines with cover stories, or I had to search through mags with ANY story about the Jolie-Pitts. Now that’s a serious jones but she adored them.
I got the new issue of vanity fair in the mail today. . The first thing I thought when I saw Angie on the cover was, oh no ! You got new veneers on your teeth and they are too big. Is That why she looks the way she does ??
