Angelina Debuts Dueling Looks For New Spy Thriller

All femme fatales need a good disguise, or two, especially if her pursuers know too much about her. And with Angelina Jolie filming the spy thriller Salt this week, two looks have already surfaced.

One is a soft-looking, all-business blonde, and the other an alluring raven-haired, possibly weapon-toting vixen. Which is the real Evelyn A. Salt, a rogue CIA operative trying to clear her name? That's the big mystery.

"She's a character you never know," Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who also produced Transformers and the upcoming G.I. Joe, tells. "People who think they know the real her may or may not. Those who think they can tell whether she's in a disguise also may or may not ... She tells you her agenda, but are you supposed to believe it?"

Di Bonaventura adds: "Her pursuers have a ton of information to act on, but that's where they begin to question what is real and what isn't".

Salt co-stars Liev Schreiber as Winter, her ally and supervisor in the CIA's Russia office, and shoots in Washington, D.C., and New York City. It opens in 2010.

Mariah Carey's Baby Planning

The 38-year-old singer and her husband Nick Cannon, who married last year following a whirlwind romance, were seen leaving a Beverly Hills' Southern California Reproductive Center last week, where they reportedly met with a prenatal specialist.

A source told: "Nick and Mariah are trying anything and everything to conceive. After almost a year of trying to natural way, they visited a fertility clinic to help make their baby dream come true".

Mariah is said to be desperate to give birth before she turns 40 next March.
The renowned centre is one of the leading In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) clinics in California.

The couple have made no secret of their desire to start a family, with Nick admitting he wants a large brood. He said: "We'll multiply. That's what's got to happen."

Mariah has also revealed she is ready to become a mother, but finds the constant speculation about whether she is expecting tiresome.

She said: "I don't like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We'll see. I've changed my mind about becoming a mother because I'm with 'The One'. I think we would make good parents, and that we'd be able to figure out how to do it properly".

Keira Knightley Consoles Colin Farrell

Keira Knightley, who is to star opposite Colin in forthcoming film ‘London Boulevard', has recently been consoling Colin following his split from novelist Emma Forrest.

Former hellraiser Colin, 32, is said to be distraught after he was dumped by Emma following a year-long relationship and has turned to Keira, who he had been in touch with regarding their roles.

A source said: "Keira thought it would be helpful to speak to Colin about their parts but she has been trying to support him through girlfriend troubles. She says it has helped her understand the man she is going to play opposite and is delighted to have connected with him so well".

Keira, 23, is going through a tough time herself because she has hardly seen her boyfriend, actor Rupert Friend.

The source added: "Keira can't wait to start shooting as she has put in so much preparation for the part. She has felt lonely without much time with Rupert over the past few months as he has been busy promoting his new film ‘Young Victoria' and, like Colin, can't wait to absorb herself in the project".

‘London Boulevard', which loosely follows the plot of 1950 film ‘Sunset Boulevard', will see Colin playing an ex-convict who falls in love with Keira's reclusive actress character. Shooting on the film starts next month.

Motherhood Has Made Katie Holmes Wiser

Becoming a mother has allowed Katie Holmes to flex muscles she wasn't even aware she possessed.

Motherhood, the parent of 2-year-old Suri Cruise tells: "It has been the most amazing experience, in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it's the most important job in the world".

Not that having a child wasn't a formidable experience for Holmes, 30, and husband Tom Cruise, 46. "During the first couple of days with Suri, we would just sleep right next to her to make sure she was breathing. And I was constantly learning on the job, but Tom was very helpful and supportive".

Madonna's Receives Mean Present

The '4 Minutes' singer has been inundated with DVDs of the famous horror film 'It' since it was reported last week her ex-husband Guy Ritchie refers to her by the insulting term.

A source said: "She's received the packages at all of her addresses so she suspects they are from somebody she knows. And she is furious".

Madonna has also received 50 copies of the novel by Stephen King, which is about a child murdering clown.

The source added: "It's been said that Guy compared her to Pennywise the clown, the evil monster with the dodgy make-up. But now her homes are full of reminders and she doesn't know how to get rid of them".

The 40-year-old 'RocknRolla' director and Madonna, 50, announced they were divorcing last October after nearly eight years of marriage. Last week, it was revealed that Guy used the offensive name even before the couple split.

A source said: "Even towards the end of their marriage, he would call her 'It'. He told people, 'We can't make 'It' angry'. Or Guy would say, 'Oh, 'It' is in a bad mood today'. There is absolutely no love lost between them".

They were granted a decree nisi in a London High Court last November but still remain embroiled in a bitter custody battle over the two sons they raise together, Rocco, 8 and adopted David, 3.

A US court hearing about custody of the children is scheduled for next month.

Morgan Freeman Health Fears

Morgan Freeman will be monitored round-the-clock by a private doctor on his new movie.

Producers on 'The Human Factor' are concerned about the health of the 71-year-old actor, who plays Nelson Mandela in the film, and director Clint Eastwood, 78, and have flown a private doctor out to the African set to care for the ageing stars.

A source told: "Morgan is under special scrutiny because of his near fatal car accident back in August. There's a huge budget for the film at stake. These guys are getting up there in age.

Sure, they had physicals before leaving, everyone has to. But the private doctor was just an agreed upon decision on all sides of the table".

Clint recently acknowledged he is getting old, but says his passion for films keeps him young at heart.

He said: "I like taking it easy, I like golf and I like Budweiser. All that stuff is fine, but the main thing is I still like working, I think working keeps you young, I think it keeps your mind active. It's like exercising your body - exercising your brain. Both of them are synonymous".

Smarty Pants Emma Watson

The 18-year-old actress, who plays brainbox Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter' franchise, is thrilled by the offer of a place to study at the prestigious American college. Emma broke the news on her internet blog, excitedly posting: "I got into Yale!".

It has not been confirmed what subject Emma is set to study if she accepts the place, but she revealed last month she has also been accepted by Cambridge University in the UK to read English Literature.

The actress recently insisted her studies will not interfere with her acting career and even believes it will help her hone her craft.

She said: "Jodie Foster did it, Natalie Portman did it. I think it's entirely possible to juggle university with filming.

I actually think going to university will make me a better actress. The experience of living like that, working to deadlines, living with other students. It's all the things I want. There are actresses who don't know about things like doing their own laundry and getting a bus. I'm not going to be like that.

For me, this is just the beginning. I've only shown a little bit of what I can do. There is so much more to come".

Farrah Fawcett Sets the Record Straight

A British newspaper put out a report saying that the 'Charlie's Angels' star has flown to Germany for more aggressive cancer treatment in a desperate final attempt to live. The newspaper also reports that Farrah has dismissed staff, saying she may never return.

However, that is absolutely false. Farrah's close friend Alana Stewart, who is currently with Farrah, told over the phone that Farrah goes to Germany for routine treatment every few months. Alana tells that Farrah is in good spirits, and is hopeful and positive, as are her doctors.

Gary Barlow Collapses

The Take That singer, who injured his back last month while training for the 19,000ft climb for British charity Comic Relief, broke down in agony after a gruelling four-hour walk.

Girls Aloud stars Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh, singer Alesha Dixon, presenter Fearne Cotton and actress Denise Van Outen took turns carrying Gary's backpack on the first leg of their eight-day climb.

A source said: "He was in a great deal of pain but everyone rallied around to get him through it. It was a hellish experience".

In his trek diary, Gary said: "It's very steep and I'm having to use two poles for my back, but I'm told it will loosen up after the first day's climb. We only walked for four hours today because of the intense heat and steep incline".

However, Boyzone singer Ronan Keating thought the first day was easy. He said: "Today wasn't too tough a day. I don't mind sleeping in a tent, I go camping with the kids once or twice a year and you get used to it. I've got my gear, it's all here, we've got a little mattress. It's cosy and cool".

The climb will raise money for Comic Relief's charity projects in the UK and Africa.

Organisers hope to raise £1 million, some of which will be used to fight malaria in Tanzania, where Mount Kilimanjaro is located. The mountain is Africa's highest summit.

Michael Jackson Expected To Make Concert Announcement

Despite his spokeswoman labeling the reports speculative, Singer Michael Jackson is likely to perform a series of comeback concerts in London this summer.

A announcement regarding the engagements is expected to be made Thursday by the musician himself.

Jackson's last live performance in Britain took place at the 2006 World Music Awards, where he appeared only briefly.

The O2, formerly the Millennium Dome, is expected to be the venue for his concerts. Also due to headline there in June, for eight nights, is Britney Spears.
