- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Together again on screen? Maybe! Angelina says:
“I love working with him. He’s my favorite actor to work with. The only complicated thing is to find the right project.” So they’re on the “hunt” for the perfect script. What kind of flick should they do? I vote for a screwball comedy set in the ’40s, where they are feisty, dueling newspaper reporters, but that’s probably because I watched His Girl Friday for the umpteenth time over the weekend.

- “It’s funny because, you know, somebody said to me once when I was in my early twenties, ‘What is your worst nightmare, what is your absolute biggest fear’, and I said that my father would die. And so, when it happened, it was very tough. It’s still hard for me even years later. But it has taught me that to fear suffering, to fear bad things happening to you, is a real waste of energy, you know? Because everything that happens, I believe that everything that happens to you in your life, happens for a reason. There’s nothing random, there are no accidents and, obviously, you know, my family in a way, we needed that to happen, for a specific set of reasons.” — Gwyneth Paltrow. [The Sun]
