Angelina Jolie in Patricia Cornwell’s Dr. Kay Scarpetta movie adaptation series
Angelina Jolie, Fox 2000 and author Patricia Cornwell are teaming up for a killer deal. The studio is acquiring screen rights to Cornwell’s bestselling book series on medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta, to develop as a vehicle for Jolie. There are 16 Scarpetta novels, meaning a franchise is hoped for, but this film won’t be tied to a specific Cornwell mystery title. Much the way that Jason Bourne morphed into an action hero in plots not rigidly locked into the Robert Ludlum book series, the opera-loving coroner Scarpetta will be the lead in a suspense thriller in the vein of “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Seven.” Deal is a mega-marriage, with Jolie one of the most bankable female movie stars, and Cornwell one of the biggest selling female authors in the world. Cornwell, whose latest installment “Scarpetta” was published last December by Putnam, last year made a deal with Lifetime Television to adapt two non-Scarpetta novels, “At Risk” and “The Front.” – from Variety
Angelina Jolie as New Bond Girl?
Angelina Jolie has been interested in being involved with Bond, James Bond, for quite some time. She came THIS CLOSE to signing on to Casino Royale with Daniel Craig — but dropped out of negotiations due to scheduling and her pregnancy at the time. Our source tells us Mrs. Pitt met with Bond producers over the weekend, expressing her interest in joining the franchise. The only hitch, Angelina would be a reoccurring character, instead of just appearing in one movie. With her Tomb Raider franchise dead, and being killed off in Wanted — Angie seeks a solid financial property to revisit every few years. An easy payday indeed! Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are very eager to have Angie on board. But, will they pay what she’s asking?

Brangelina Brood Noisy as Hell in Hotel
DISAPPOINTED BRAD PITT and wife ANGELINA JOLIE made a quick exit from the awards ceremony after missing out on gongs – and arrived back at their hotel to find four of their kids running riot. Other guests at London’s plush Dorchester Hotel – where luxury double suites cost more than £4,000 a night WITHOUT breakfast – had complained about the noise. Brad, 45, nominated as Leading Actor for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Angelina, 33 – in the running for Leading Actress over Changeling – booked almost the entire third-floor of the Park Lane hotel. They told Maddox, seven, Pax, five, Zahara, three, and two-year-old Shiloh they could play outside their suite under supervision from their nanny. But one fed-up guest, who asked not to be named, moaned: “They were running up and down the hallway for over an hour. “Their nanny tried to quieten them down and move them out the way when people came through. “But she had her hands full with the four of them.” – from The Sun

Brad & Jen Set Box Office Records, But, Jen Wins!
There were no lumps of coal in Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston’s stockings this Christmas. The former couple both had movies in competition for the top spot on Christmas Day, and while Aniston’s film pulled in the most money, both movies were winners at the box office. Aniston’s Marley & Me, a feel-good movie costarring Owen Wilson about a young family and mischievous dog, was the leader of the pack, grossing $14.8 million, the highest one-day total ever for a film opening on Christmas. But Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wasn’t far behind. The film, about the life-long romance between a man who ages in reverse (Pitt) and a woman (Cate Blanchett), set the record for the second-highest Christmas opening of all-time with $11.8 million. – from People
Twentieth Century Fox’s Jennifer Aniston-Owen Wilson starrer “Marley and Me” led the crowded pack of Christmas Day openers, grossing an estimated $14.8 million from 3,480 playdates to become the best opening ever for Dec. 25. Not only does “Marley” feature an adorable dog, it is rated PG, meaning it is appropriate for families.(Bring your hankies, however.) Paramount’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”–toplining Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett–also overperformed, grossing an estimated $11.8 million from 2,988 runs to score the second best Christmas Day opener of all time. Directed by David Fincher, “Button” has already picked up a number of key award noms. – from Variety
When it comes to North American moviegoing habits, this rule is primo — don’t ever bet against a pooch. So my info is that 20th Century Fox’s Marley And Me based on the bestselling book is beating the competition “by a mile”. Driven by women moviegoers, the Owen Wilson tearjerker about a man and his dog did twice what was expected — as did No. 2, Paramount’s Oscar buzzed The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt. “It’s a classic dovetail: Marley’s strength is smack in the middle of the country and the south, while Button is strong on both coasts,” one studio insider tells me. – from Deadline Hollywood
Brad Pitt may have dumped Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie and then rubbed it in her face by being photographed with Jolie and their growing family every other day for two years, but, so far at least, Aniston’s movie is whupping Brad’s movie’s butt! Big Hollywood just came out with preliminary box office numbers for Christmas Day, and “Marley & Me” has edged out “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” for the Number One slot. “Marley” clocked in with $13.9 million in ticket sales, while “Button” lagged slightly behind with $11.1 million. – from Foxnews
Desperate Jennifer Aniston naked on GQ. Sorry, Angie is still hotter…
Ain’t gonna win back Brad with this… I mean, try as she might, I give Jen credit. She got her cute little nose job, her bod looks great — but sorry girl, you’ll never be Angelina Jolie — try as you might. So there’s no reason to over compensate — the only reason you’re getting attention and press now is due to publicly complaining about Brad and Angelina (and that’s so uncool) — or posing naked on the cover of GQ. Hey, no guy is gonna complain — but it ain’t classy. You just moved from a B-lister to a C-plus-lister.
Brad Pitt Favors Homemade Holiday Gifts for Family
Because, you know, Brad and Angie are on a budget. Gotta pinch those pennies during this tough economy.
“We do exchange gifts, although we don’t feel any pressure to make them big or expensive gifts,” Pitt, 44, tells Hello! magazine. The kids don’t ask for the big gifts for the reason that they don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic,” says papa Pitt. “When they do see that stuff is when they start asking for the toys, so we figure if they don’t see them, they won’t know they’re there. So we have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum.” – from People
Oh yes, I forgot, Brad Pitt is an idiot.
