See Brangelina Step Out for Art's Sake...and Lady Gaga?
We already knew Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are big art buffs...but are they Lady Gaga fans too?
The famous, jewelry-designing duo left their six kids home and hit MOCA's 30th anniversary gala Saturday night, where they got a personal tour of the museum.
By the looks of things, they both seemed to be in a good mood. Angelina joked and smiled as a bearded Brad affectionately touched her arm. (So much for the trouble in paradise rumors.)
Viewing artwork up close wasn't the only thing VIP guests were treated to...

When you're as shiny as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it would stand to reason that you would create shiny things too, right?
Hollywood's most golden couple have teamed with high-end jeweler Asprey for a capsule collection called the Protector, according to Women's Wear Daily. The shimmering gold and silver accessories are inspired by snakes.
You know, because nothing says precious metals and stones like slithering creatures. And dudes with really hideous beards.
The limited-edition collection hits stores this week, with prices starting at $525 for a silver baby spoon. Proceeds benefit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Angie cofounded.
Apparently, the mega mama received a snake ring just before giving birth to Shiloh and she considered it a protector of her family.
Speaking of families, you'll never guess who else is designing glittery baubles?
Johnny Depp Falling Into Angelina's Tourist Trap?

Well, this sounds hot.
Johnny Depp is in talks to star with Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, a remake of a French thriller in which Depp would play an American abroad who gets swept up in an Interpol agent's web of intrigue as she tracks down a fugitive who used to be her lover, according to Variety.
And we feel sorry for any guy who incurs Jolie's wrath.
Sam Worthington, the Australian star of James Cameron's upcoming 3-D spectacle, Avatar, had been slated to play the titular tourist, but recently dropped out, along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who helmed the Oscar-winning The Lives of Others.
This isn't The Tourist's first casting shakeup, either. Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron were originally set to give chase in the lead roles before scheduling snafus got in the way.
We don't know about you, but we're liking the sound, not to mention the look, of this switcheroo.

Angelina Jolie's Salt Trailer...for Those of You Who Know Russian
After much anticipation, the first trailer for Angelina Jolie's upcoming action flick, Salt, has been released and, well, we can't understand a damn thing anybody's saying.
Apparently the folks over at Columbia Pictures thought it would be a good idea to have the first look at the movie be a Russian-dubbed version, perhaps as a way to play up the whole "Is Angie's CIA officer really a Russian sleeper spy?" angle.
Then again, hearing the actress speaking in a foreign accent is a bit sexy and, let's face it, we don't exactly watch these kinds of movies for the stellar dialogue.
When it's all said and done, we just wanna see stuff blow up. And you certainly don't need a translator for that.

Rosie O'Donnell Thinks She and Angelina Jolie Almost Happened

How does one choose between Brad Pitt and Rosie O'Donnell?
We're not sure we know (or want to know), but at some point Angelina Jolie was faced with that conflict. At least, according to Rosie.
The talk-show icon blabbed to Howard Stern on Sirius XM radio about a time before she was married to Kelli Carpenter and Angelina had tied the knot with Billy Bob Thornton. A romance, she claimed, was a-bloomin'.
"She gave me her phone number," Rosie said. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through."
Fear got the best of Rosie and she wasn't able to seal the deal.
"I was a little afraid of her," she said. "She's scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still."
We'd say TMI, but our jaws are still on the floor.
The erstwhile Lara Croft isn't the only bone the flower picked during the interview. She also offered some insight into the rocky state of affairs of her marriage, as well as her thoughts on the relationship between Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King.
Angelina's New Role a Gucci, Gucci Coup

She always struck us as more of a Versace gal, but Angelina Jolie is taking a theatrical, if not sartorial, step toward Gucci, signing on to star in a drama chronicling the decadent highs and murderous lows of the fashion empire.
According to Variety, Jolie will be stretching her acting muscles as the femme fatale Patrizia Reggiano, the woman who was sentenced to nearly three decades behind bars for plotting the 1995 murder of ex-husband Maurizio Gucci.
The film will be set in the design house's '70s and '80s heyday, when Maurizio emerged, in the wake of a vicious power struggle, to take over the family business. Prior to the show that would relaunch the brand (courtesy of designs from Tom Ford, incidentally), Maurizio was shot dead in front of his Milan home.
Talk about one day you're in and the next you're out.
No actor has signed on to play Jolie's ill-fated love in the film, which starts production next year, though Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached by director Ridley Scott.

Angelina's not the only star who's signed on the dotted line. Check out Hollywood's other movers and shakers with a flip through our Casting Couch gallery.
Why Does John Stamos Gotta Lie? Madonna, Too!
Fame Pictures
Why did John Stamos bother to lie about being drunk on a talk show when it was so obvious he was? And now he's confessed—why lie if you're just going to get caught?
—Cotton, via the Answer B!tch inbox
Come now. The stars, they already give us so much—sharing their mama's Cuban chicken recipe with Us Weekly and telling us that they're wearing Galliano on the red carpet. Can't a star manipulate people in peace without you greedy fans always asking for more, more, more?
I mean it's not like stars lie about everything, just every aspect of their lives—including whoppers such as...
Reese Talks Cucumbers, Cozy Time With Jake
InStyle
There's a reason why Reese Witherspoon is one of the craftiest broads in Hollywood.
Even though we know we're being manipulated with each interview into thinking of this pixie as the sweet girl next door (which she ain't), she does it in a way that makes us still like her. Jennifer Garner take notes, by all means.
Reese covers In Style next month and totally takes a play outta the Brangelina interview book.
Like opening up about her sex life, perhaps?
Do Celeb Do-Gooders Actually Do Any, Uh, Good?

Yet another star, Mia Farrow, has spoken out for poor people. Does that translate into dollars or just "awareness"?
—Haro, Wisconsin
I love awareness. Such a fine cause, that. Between Angelina Jolie and the refugees (sounds like a Tom Petty cover band, don't it?), Brad Pitt and his work in New Orleans, Mia Farrow and the kids from Gaza, and Orlando Bloom, who recently signed on to help out UNICEF...I just feel so much more aware!
Like, every single second!
But are the stars achieving anything else for the needy? Like, say, money? Depends on one thing...
Have Angie and Jen Ever Had It Out?

Even though Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie reportedly met briefly on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith—aka the movie that ate Jen's marriage to Brad Pitt—we're just dying to know if the gals have encountered each other since. Aren't you?
So remember our fab Brangelina insider who gave us all the scoop on how Jen and Angelina currently feel toward each other? Now we gotta ask: Have they or haven't they had it out?

Is it time the public (OK, mostly media) to stop dragging out this whole Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie-Jennifer Aniston faux love triangle? Jen got dumped for another girl—big deal, happens all the time and certainly in more places than just Hollywood.
But then that means we can't poke Jen with the lonely jabs anymore, huh?
Well, according to our supertight Brangelina and Jen pal, all of us are the only ones who never got over the famous 2005 dumping.
"Angelina really couldn't care less," fesses our source tight with the Pitt-Jolie brood, when we asked what would happen if Jen and Angie had a casual run-in.
"And Jennifer really has moved on. I promise you this."
Take moved on with a grain of salt, dare we say...
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Visit Iraqi Refugees in Syria
UNHCR/ S. Malkawi
They'll never let us forget they are more than just pretty faces. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took time out of their schedules on Friday to bring attention to the continuing plight of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees still living in Syria.
Jolie, a United Nations goodwill ambassador, and her significant other spent time with two different families in the Syrian capital of Damascus. They also met with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad to discuss the efforts being made toward health care and education.
