Angelina Jolie Watch

First let me apologize for the lateness of this post but I had a big charity event this weekend that helped raise money to fight domestic violence. Thank you for understanding.

On to the pics. Angelina Jolie and Maddox left the country last week for the Middle East. We have photos of them arriving at London’s Heathrow Airport and LAX this past Friday. (She wearing gray at Heathrow and black at LAX.)

Angelina visited Iraq and called attention to the plight of their internal refugees.

“I want to come back and find you in a better place and in a different situation. We hope that UNHCR and the government will support you in getting a piece of land. You need help not because you are poor, but because you are the future of Iraq,” she told a family who fled their home because of violence

“The picture in this camp is a rough one but there are also some people that were able to return home to other safer areas,” Jolie said later. “There are some changes. There are returns of displaced people, not a big number but there is progress.”

Angelina also visited soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division and Multi-National Division-Baghdad at Iraq’s Camp Liberty during her day trip.

“I visited Walter Reed [Army Medical Center] and I was inspired and reminded of all the bravery of all the men and women,” Angie said. “I’m always just honored to spend time with everyone in the military. I was allowed to come, and I’m privileged to be here.”

And Finally, the family grabbed Happy Meals on Sunday for the kids. Fun!

This is a lovely interview with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They are openly affectionate, at one point Angelina touches his face, and very complementary of one another’s performances. It’s just darn cute.

Angelina and donned a sculpted yellow and black Armani Prive for the 2009 BAFTA awards at the Royal Opera House in London, England today.  She topped of the outfit with with Christian Louboutinn shoes and a diamond Asprey bracelet. This is the first time Angelina’s worn Armani Prive  this awards season. She wore Max Azria to the Critic’s Choice and SAG awards and a Atelier Versace to the Golden Globes.  Brad knocked it out of the park wearing a tux by his Tom Ford.

Unfortunately neither Brad nor Angie took home trophies from the “British Oscars”.   The Curious Case of Benjamin Button did win for best production design, make up and hair, and special visual effects. Kate Winslett beat out Angeline  in the best actress category for her role in The Reader. Mickey Rourke triumphed in the best actor category for his comeback role in The Wrestler

Lots of photos below. Click to enlarge.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt helped kick off major award season tonight.  Angelina was stunning in an Atelier Versace gown, Jimmy Choo “Emma” Satin Sandals and jewelry by by Neil Lane. Angie’s flowing locks were coiffed by celeb hair stylist David Babaii. Her makeup artist was Mary Burton. Stylist Jennifer Rade coordinated the look. Brad donned a simple Tom Ford(no surprise there) tux for the show.

It’s interesting that Angelina is choosing lighter colors this year. The color of this gown is very similar to the one she wore for the Critics Choice Awards last week. Angelina and Brad didn’t taken any trophies home this evening. Mickey Rourke won out in the Best Actor category for The Wrestler while Kate Winslett won Best Actress for Revolutionary Road.

You can find more information on Angelina’s fashion team after the gallery.  I usually know a little about who’s doing what with Angie fashion wise but thanks to Just Jared, I was able to research her entire Golden Globe team.

I’m not sure how often Angelina uses Babaii but he’s got a quite a reputation. He and Kate Hudson recently launched an eco-friendly haircare line thatbenefits Wildaid.  Wildaid is a non profit that helps reverse environmental damage to wildlife. His other clients include Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Mary Burton worked with Angelina on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Other film credits include Die another Day and X-Men.

Jennifer Rade is Angelina’s long time stylist which means she’s done everything from edgie Angie to her recent softer looks.  According to her website, she “styled” Angelina for the recent cover Brad shot for W magazine.  I doubt she stylist for the breastfeeding photo. That was probably more off the cuff which is why it’s so endearing.

Angelina Jolie was able to snag her man away from his Inglorius Bastards shoot for the Changeling’s London photocall/private screenings.  He’s handsome and she’s stunning.  I don’t guess there’s much else left to say.  See the pictures below.

As part of her UK publicity tour, Angelina chatted with the BBC radio this morning. During the interview she confirmed that she’s working on a new film,“I’m working on a film called Salt. And it’s with [Bone Collector director] Phillip Noyce. And that’s it.” (Tom Cruise was previously attached to the project.)

Angelina has really slowed down her pace over the last few years. It seems like she’s constantly in the spotlight but the truth that we only see her working for a week a two a few times a year. She typically only does one full length feature a year(if that), usually adding an animated feature that  takes short time to record.

Angelina’s movies have grossed nearly a $1 billion this year.
