It never, ever occurred to me that John Travolta and Angelina Jolie might have anything to talk about. But I forgot that Travolta is all about planes and aviation and Angelina is a pilot, private plane owner and now, with Unbroken, a director who can manage to film some really spectacular aerial scenes. So, long story short, Angelina Jolie is getting the Aviation Inspiration and Patriotism Award at the Living Legends of Aviation Awards in a few weeks. The ceremony will be held on January 16th. John Travolta will be presenting Angelina with the award. I can’t wait to hear how he mangles her name. If Idina Menzel can be Travoltified to Adele Dazeem, what would Angelina Jolie be? The Adele Dazeem Name Generator says Angelina’s Travoltified name will be… Alexandra Jernkins. YES!!!! That’s it. The Leg should now be called Ms. Jernkins.
Meanwhile, Angelina was in Las Vegas over the weekend. I’m not sure why? But while she was in town, she stopped by Bonanza Gifts with twins Knox and Vivienne and they went shopping for gag gifts.
May the force be with the Jolie-Pitts! Angelina Jolie was spotted in Bonanza Gifts shop, a Las Vegas souvenir store, on Saturday with her 6-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne. The Oscar-winning actress purchased a bevy of toys and gag gifts, including light sabers, a plush dinosaur pillow, t-shirts, mugs, a bunch of telescope-style “freeloader forks,” and more mischievous presents.
According to an onlooker, Jolie was dressed down in neutral colors – a flowing beige sweater, jeans and big sunglasses. She was accompanied by a few other people and children; a member of Jolie’s entourage checked out at the register while the kids were allowed to pick out anything in the store. The shop manager said the star was “as normal as can be.”
Visiting this particular Sin City gift shop is also seemingly normal for Jolie. The manager said the actress-turned-director frequents the establishment to buy gag gifts for husband Brad Pitt, a known Hollywood prankster.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal says that Jolie also purchased an air gun (yikes) and a vuvuzela. I kind of wish there were photos. That’s what’s been missing from Angelina’s would-be Oscar campaign for Best Director. We need more outings with the kids! I feel like we haven’t seen Knox in a while.

Is “Aviation and Patriotism Award” a Fancy Name for a Scientology Audit Process?? Or Inappropriate Massage?
Ha.
Well, they have to invent ways to reel in some new celebrity faces!!! TC isn’t doing much for the cause PR-wise!!
My very first thought was that it sounded like some made up Scientology crap.
I will hereby be known as Jan Harf. Thanks, generator!!!
Mine is Quinn Doon!! which..I Feel I need to Legally change my name to?!
Haha! Princess Quinn Doon Beans!
I got Commander IP Freely. Sorry I’m five.
yeah, if I were her, I’d be like “no, thanks….unless someone else presents it.”
Hahaha you guys just killed me
They have no need for Angie. They want people with something to hide to have hold on them. (Recklessly eye ball John T.)
Wow! Is that the best she can get these days?? How the mighty have fallen.
Um, you do realize she got the Jean Hersholt award last year? ‘These days’? She is doing very well and she hasn’t fallen at all, sorry.
Aviation and Patriotism Award?!? That’s it, awards season is done and everyone can go home because Angelina’s already won the big one.
Oh Bridget, I’m hosting “The-Lady-Who-Has-More-Fanatics-Than-Jen-Aniston” Award Ceremony at the local VFW. We’ll see who wins that one. Tough call, lol. I understand Oscar voters take note.
A new catagory added this year…Best supporting eyeliner, nominations include: Jeremy Renner, Justin Von Brow, and Mickey Rourke circa 1980* for Diner.
* Just watched this over the weekend, I was positively glued on that Maybelline act.
I’m hosting the” Cumberbitches in Denial Awards” When is Bendy’s baby due? May?
I am unable to read all the comments on the baby bump on my phone.
I think I need a ‘tool’ to figure that out, Kim1.
Sorry, I’ll be holding my sack dress awareness benefit that same night. We’ll see who draws the bigger names.
I’m hosting the “Best Internet Fandom Fight Starter” awards. The Swag Bag for the nominees is full of mashed potatoes and pre-glued press on emoting eyebrows.
Taterho, if you don’t come, you’ll miss the “actor taken more seriously since getting married or having a baby” category. All nominees receive ceramic cockatoos, frozen otter pops and a Gone With the Wind Effortless Antebellum Allure playbook.
LOLZ.
Wow! Will she retire or go on with her life like nothing happened!
Ow. I have pneumonia and you just made me laugh.
Her kids always seem so happy. I feel like they’re doing something right. Of course you have off days, but generally speaking they all look great.
Yeah I agree with you totally
🙂
I was just coming here to say that. I feel like, while I might side-eye some of their parenting choices if I was in the same room all the time, overall they are engaged and involved parents who are aware that their children are much more than a fashion accessory. Of course, they trot them out on red-carpets occasionally, but the kids always look comfortable with their parents. There’s no sense that they only see their parents once in a while-they are clearly a FAMILY. There’s obvious warmth and humor between the entire family.
The only red carpet the kids ever did (3 of 6), was the one for Unbroken a couple weeks ago to support their mom’s film while she was sick with chicken pox. Get it straight please.
Sigh.
Poor Travolta. Is he a thetan yet?
I saw a picture (fan pic) of her and Brad walking around some “ghost town”. Well that was how the person categorized it. The person taking the picture said they were on their way to Vegas and saw Brad and Angie walking around this tourist place.. then we get a Vegas sighting. I guess they were there with Knox and Viv.. no word of the other kids.
I love seeing them out with the kids. So hopefully that will happen.
The Adele Dazeem Name Generator
Well now I know what I’m going to be doing the rest of the day.
I still laugh every time I say Adele Dazeem.
I seriously get fits of giggles every time, even after all this time. I am sure Travolta is already practicing the correct pronunciation/enunciation of AJ after that debacle.
And imagining six kids with access to a vuvuzela seriously makes my ears bleed.
say goodbye to work day!
Um, Jaderu Travoltified is…(wait for it)…JESSICA.
*dies laughing*
OMG LOL
That’s so anti climactic!!
*price is right loser horn*
No it’s fantastic! Jaderu is so powerful that you turned the Travoltify against itself. 😀
Maybe Brad Pitt can sing the correct pronunciations for him.
But Taterho is “Theo” which is, amazing.
I’ll watch just to see how badly he botches her name……
Huh. Married to an airline pilot over here and this makes me wanna say, “Who gives a crap? Who gives a f**k?”. Hopefully there will be pics of Travolta presenting in his full pilot regalia. Especially the HAT!
It is a little strange. I like Angie and her clan, but it’s not like she’s Chuck Yeager for Pete’s sake.
Seeing Travolta in his full pretend uniform would be worth it though.
Reminds me of 40 Year-Old Virgin (which is on ALL the time lately!): You know how I know you’re gay? You LOVE to dress up in a pilot uniform! 😉
It’s for Louie Zamperini and his bio pic she directed ‘Unbroken,’ – Kaaiser left that out… Louis was an airman. It’s also a very prestigious award in that industry – just the sponsors alone have combined revenues of about 100 BILLION.
This story makes me laugh.
Run, girl- RUN! Do not want!
My god, she is just getting over the pox! And now she is vulnerable to Thetan germs.Never heard of this award before. Interesting though that it ties in with the movie.
So, that mess of a movie, Unbroken, is finally getting an award. Go Angelina!
Yay Angie Unbroken should cross $100M worldwide tomorrow
Very impressive
A small consolation considering she was probably hoping for an Oscar or two.
I’m sure she is just beside herself….
@Graciel, who wrote: “She ran the most desperate and most neediest Oscar campaign this year.”
No, that Title belongs to Jennifer Aniston. No one can touch her Awards campaign needy zeal.
That “mess of a movie” grossed $100 mil at the box office in less than two weeks. We know you wanted it to fail. And comparing “Unbroken” to the Hobbit movie is just stupid. The only films that could beat a Hobbit movie would be a new Star Wars, a new Avatar or a new Harry Potter.
Maybe buying birthday gifts for Z…her birthday is January 8…I wish there were pics…I love seeing the Jolie-Pitt kids!
I wonder if this group is also paying tribute to Louis and or veterans(Patriotism)?
I read the write up and I think it is in part to honor the men and veterans that flew planes.
If it’s to honor aviatiors, past, present, future, civilian and military, her presence will make this event visible to the public. And if her speech conveys gratitude for the real heroes, then they’ve chosen the right person to do the “honors”. Butt creepy to have Cap’n Travolta presenting it.
What the ever-loving…..where did this “award” even come from and why on earth is she deigning to accept it in person?
The sponosrs are aviators and corporations (aviation) with combined revenues of 100 BILLION, and it’s to honor the soldiers who flew planes in our wars, such as Louis Zamperini subject of ‘Unbroken’ (HELLO?) — nothing to sneeze at, unless your an ignoramus fan of the homely tv hackiston multiple people’s cheese and spike award winner.
Please Mr.Travolta, PRACTICE. ANN-JA-LEENAA JO-LEEEEE and repeat. Stay away from ANHELINE HOLii. And we thank you for her award, she deserves it 🙂
Wouldn’t those aerial scenes have been shot by the second unit director?
LOL! True …
Well done Angelina.
I love the fact this woman never sits on her bum and does nothing. She is living her life to the fullest with her husband and children.
agreed with that – actually if anyone is remotely interested – lots of other people being awarded for this award ceremony – and am glad that unbroken is doing well
Seriously?
If this is not a $cilon recruiting measure, then I’m the Queen of England.
Notice my lack of crown jewels.
Also, an Adele Dazeem name generator?! My life is now complete.
Damn. I go to that store all the time to send Vegas gag gifts to friends who don’t live here. I am not particularly a fan, but seeing her walking around that store would have been pretty cool.
She was in Chicago a few years ago and visited a little local toy store about an hour after I had been shopping there. I could not believe how I just missed her, I can’t imagine what it was like to have her show up. Surreal, I’m sure!
How many awards do we need? I wish people would start refusing to accept them.
Does that come with a Scientology subscription? And, is that not going to affect her being (allegedly) “sainted” by the Catholic Church?
