Angelina Jolie Watch

Soccer star David Beckham called foul on rumors that he and and Angelina Jolie are set to model for  Armani. “I don’t think that’s true,” David told Extra. “I definitely don’t think that’s true. Think it’s something put out in the press.”

Rumors started swirling last week that Angelina was the new face of an Armani fragrance. Several sources said that Angelina would do a photo shoot with David who’s currently the international face of the fashion powerhouse. One “insider” even said that the company was trying to smooth things over with Brad and Victoria.

“Armani bosses are now trying to coax Mrs Beckham, 35, and Jolie’s partner Brad Pitt, 45, into approving the idea of a joint advertisement to avoid any off-screen friction,” a tabloid reported.

David denounced the entire idea:
“She’s an amazing person and so is Brad. They’re an incredible couple — got an amazing family. You know she wouldn’t do it and I wouldn’t do it. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t do it because I’m married.”

Oh well it was a fun rumor while it lasted.

There’s another rumor circulating about our fair couple.   Click below for more info.

After suffering a minor concussion, Angelina Jolie was back at work yesterday at the Queensboro Bridge. Angelina was taken to the hospital Friday after she suffered an injury while filming. I’m sure they’ve covered the scrape between her eyes up with makeup (or maybe they could use it for they could use it for a scene?). In any case, I can’t see anything on the picture. Maybe some high res images will surface later. I’m hearing rumbling that filming ends this week or next.

That probably means that Brad will start shooting soon. According to IMBD, he’s officially signed to The Lost City of Z (2010)and Moneyball (2011). The Lost City of Z is based on the the true story of Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett who diasappeared looking for an ancient city in Brazil. Brad in a sweeping epic. Yum.

And can you really blame them?  The local ladies of Oyster Bay on the North Shore of Long Island are primping in case they run into Papa Pitt.   According to People magazine, local women are known for high dollar but not over the top attire.   With Brad, in town they’ve taken it up several notches.

“They are off the charts excited and everyone is dolled up, ” one resident told People.  “The moms are trying to look a little bit more polished. Instead of schlepping in sweat pants and messy hair, now they wear designer jeans and high heels, which they never wear. Usually it’s Tod’s or Gucci loafers. Everyone is putting a little more effort. Let’s face it – he’s a handsome guy.”

Brads’ really enjoying his time time with the kids.  He’s even read to Shiloh’s class.  The moms at school are certainly enjoying his presence  “At school, they think they are going to bump into him,” another local said.  “Brad sits in the back of the classroom a lot. He is very unassuming and very sweet and nice.”

He’s added to the excitement by dining out with good pal George Clooney at a local eatery.  “I heard a woman screaming at Stop & Shop because the clerk was telling her George Clooney was at the Breakers,” said another source. “It startled me because she shrieked so loud. Then, a few women said they were going to go down there and see if they could run into Clooney.”

I’m glad the family has been able to have some down to earth time in what sounds like a great locale.

P.S. Sorry I haven’t posted in bit. I’ve been ill. Thanks for continuing to support AJ Watch. You guys are awesome.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have dazzled the residents of  Long Island.  The couple as was spotted at the local Stop & Shop, Dad Brad took the boys to Dunkin Donuts and they’ve even stopped in at the local CVS.

“When you talk to someone who has met them they’re kind of glowing,” Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto told People magazine. “People love saying they saw them. They feel something very special happened to them.”

Venditto added had that the couple has left a good impression with residents, “The reaction across the board seems to be, ‘Wow, they’re very nice people.’ It seems that people like them and like having them here.”

Stop & Shop manager Katherine Pastore was also dazzled by the family. “They looked out of place because they were so beautiful,” Pastore said. “They looked like they were airbrushed when they were walking. I went up to Brad and asked if he needed help and he said, ‘No thanks.’ I was looking at him but I don’t really remember it – it was like a dream.”

“They were very attentive with their kids. Brad was rubbing Zahara’s back and Angelina was comforting Shiloh when she got a little upset. It was sweet,” Pastore added.

Aw that ’s cute.  Any readers had Angelina and Brad sightings lately?

Angelina Jolie was spotted leaving her trailer on Sunday(April 27) after filming scenes in a New York subway. She’s wearing the same black wig she wore while shooting the Salt arrest scenes last month.

Angelina Jolie filmed stunts atop a train and secured with safety wires today on Interstate 787 in Albany, New York.  Albany Twitter users say the entire city’s been rerouted while Salt shoots there. Most seemed take the inconvenience in stride.

A stunt double actually filmed several scenes before Angelina turned up in Albany. The town expects to rake in $1 million dollars during  the two weeks the crew is in town. Salt is expected to film until May 4th. A PR person for the film wouldn’t tell a local newspaper when Angelina’s actually scheduled to be in town. A pap said the rule is “rule is selectively enforced; insiders tell the photographers everything they need to get their shots.”

That doesn’t mean it’s selectively enforced, it just means they probably paid someone off. Enjoy the photos.

Brad Pitt visited Angelina Jolie on the Salt set Thursday afternoon. Brad, currently on stay home dad duty, wore jeans, and his favorite newsboy cap.

The family is staying in tony Great Neck while Angelina films all over the state. We may see Angelina walk the red carpet in Cannes when Brad’s Inglorius Bastaerds premiers next month. (Am I the only person that’s spelled this wrong for months?)

Brad stars as Lt. Aldo Raine a “hillbilly from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee” is charged with a creating a covert team of Jewish-American soldiers during tWorld War II. The teams spreads “fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.”

The film, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino is set for an August 2009 release. Will this be another Oscar nod for Brad? Click for the Basterds trailer and pics.

Angelina Jolie arrived on the Salt set yesterday(Thursday) morning wearing her signature black and carrying War of Necessity, War of Choice: A Memoir of Two Iraq Wars by Richard N. Haass.  Haas is the president of the Council on Foreign Relations which Angelina worked with back in October when the Jolie-Pitt Foundation underwrote the COFR’s International Law and Justice.

See they are just ordinary folks. They win Oscars, make millions of dollars a year and go grocery shopping with the family. Angelina and Brad went grocery shopping with Zahara and Shiloh Saturday afternoon. According to Us Magazine, the family shopped for about 30 minutes at the Stop and Shop in Oyster Bay, New York.

“They were here for 30 minutes and left,” said grocery story employee Monira Ahmed.

“The were very friendly,” added Ahmed. “They gave autographs and allowed people to take pictures of them inside…very nice.” Brad pushed the grocery cart and his now famous newsboy cap.

I went to the East Coast chains website and poked around. Looks like strawberries are on sale for $2.99 and you can nab 10 liters of Canada Dry for $10. I don’t supposed sales matter that much to them as this point. Check out the high quality photos below.  I really dig Shiloh’s sparkly shoes.

While Brad Pitt tools around France for Inglorius Bastards, Angelina is still hard at work on the Salt. We saw a few photos of Angelina earlier today in this fur trimmed poncho and matching hat. Now we have lots more of her filming a boating scene in the same costume.

In other news, we’ve all heard the rumors that Angelina fainted on set earlier this week. Surprise, surprise it was all a load of hooey. “I can confirm that those rumors are in fact not true!” a rep for Sony told Us Magazine.

The reason for Angelina’s fainting was attributed to everything from dieting to overwork to, this the worst one for me, to drug use.  Lot of speculation like this starts with rumors about Angelina’s weight. I’d love to see her gain a little weight.  But she’s naturally thin, works long hours and has six kids.  It doesn’t have to be nearly as sinister as everyone likes to make it.

No matter.  We’ve got great new photos.  Enjoy.

The wait is finally over. We have new photos of Angelina Jolie filming Salt. This time she’s not wearing basic black or a blond wig but a Russian inspired gray fur ensemble. Angelina has so many different looks for the film because she plays a CIA agent on the run. Evelyn Salt stands accused of spying for the Russians and has to change her look to evade arrest. (Though one scene suggests they catch up with her.) I don’t think they have plans to shoot any actual scenes in Russia though Liev Schreiber plays Evelyn Salt’s Russian ally. This film will probably be one of my favorites because I do love a good thriller and this one looks like it fits the bill.

These  were shot yesterday in Staten island. Please let use know  if you have any sightings. Enjoy the photos.

Angelina is still working on her arrest scene for Salt. Looks like she’s having a pretty good time during a filming break. These scenes were shot yesterday(March 21) on the streets of Manhattan outside of St. Bart’s church. St. Bartholomew’s is a historic, progressive Episcopalian Church where Start Jones’ lavish 2004 wedding took place.

Because the scene takes place at a church I’m assuming it’s the funeral scene we’ve heard about where the NYPD’s Pipes & Drums of the Emerald Society are set to appear.  In these shots, Angelina’s still covered in the mystery powrder or dust.  When filming began, before the arrests shots, Angelina was powder free. Wonder what happened between Evelyn Salt and the cops to cover them with the white stuff?

I really do like the sultry makeup and wig.  We’ve got lots of photos below. Enjoy!

We’ve got new photos of Angelina Jolie’s arrest scene for Salt. The photos, shot today, show Angelina and the arresting officers covered in some sort or white powder.  Was there and explosion? Maybe a fire? In one photo Angelina is wresting away from the police.  I wonder what the chronology is for the NYC and Washington DC scenes.  Is she wearing the blond wig in DC because she escaped from the custody or was Evelyn Salt working to prove her innocence in the capital only to be hunted down in New York.  Also why is there such a crowd around her? Is there a parade. We know there’s a funeral scene. Maybe it’s a large funeral?

Oh the possibilities. I’m already intrigued by the movie and it’s only just started filming.

Finally more pictures of Angelina filming Salt in New York. This time she’s being arrested.  Too bad,  just last week Evelyn Salt was scaling buildings and on the run.  I really like the filming outdoors.  It’s fun to see Angelina tricked out in  various disguises and doing her own stunts.   Just Jared reports that the photos were taken on March 10. Wonder why they took so long to surface. Perhaps JJ make a mistake and meant yesterday. The last photos I posted with this particular wig and clothing were from scenes filmed last Saturday.  Anyone know for sure when the pics were taken?

In other family news, Brad’s Plan B Productions will produce the Night Manager. The film, based on the John Le Carre’s novel of the same name, centers around a “night manager of a European hotel who is recruited by intelligence agents to infiltrate the network of a dangerous international arms dealer.”

Last Friday night(March 6), Angelina had drinks with a few business associates in the Waldorf Asstoria bar. “She was with a couple guys talking business and laughing,” a witnesses told OK! magazine. Her drink of choice was Belvedere Vodka on the rocks. (I’ll have to give that try.)

Angelina snacked on pretzels while she and her companions sat a the bar.  “There were peanuts on the table and she wasn’t eating any, and then they brought some pretzels and she ate those. She was happy they brought them over.” the source told OK!.

According to the magazine, Angelina, Brad and the kids are staying at the historic hotel while Angelina films nearby.  The family previously stayed at the Waldorf Towers which offers more permanent suite residences.  They’ve been chummy with other guest sand residents, even signing some autographs. Normally Angelina and Brad visit the bar together.   They’ve not been back since Angie’s business meeting last week.
