Brangelina To Sue The News Of The World
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie gear up to sue The News of the World for a faulty report of their break-up.
Sigh. Guess we won’t witness an entertainment apocalypse, afterall.
As anyone breathing remembers, The News of the World ran an explosive piece a few weeks ago claiming that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were done. The paper said the pair were dividing their assets and ironing out custody arrangements with the children. Every news outlet on the planet went bonkers.
LIES! All lies say Brangelina’s legal team. The BBC talked to the couple’s lawyer, Keith Schilling, who said:
“Keith Schilling, called the “widely republished” allegations “false and intrusive.” He added the paper had failed to meet “reasonable demands” for an apology. He said the pair had also asked for a retraction of the allegations, which had subsequently been “widely republished by mainstream news outlets”.
Sorrell Trope, the lawyer named in the article as the one helping Brangie cut the chord, told the paper:
“I have had no contact from… Angelina Jolie and / or Brad Pitt. I have never met… your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm.”
Well. There goes that. It sure was fun while it lasted.

Alexa Chung March 2010 British Vogue
No TV show? No problem.
We aren’t super familiar with Alexa Chung. We know she’s a pretty famous model-type out of England. She dates that Arctic Monkeys guy and snagged her own show on MTV somehow — the now defunct “It’s On With Alexa Chung.” The show was nothing spectacular, admittedly, but she was an interesting change from the channel’s usual VJ’s/talk hosts/reality messes. Translation: a touch more cerebral then a certain smash hit filled with tanning bed, hair product people.
Anyway, Alexa Chung rocks a slightly androgynous look on the March cover of British Vogue. Click here to check out a behind-the-scenes look at the photoshoot with photographer Alasdair McLellan.

Sarah Silverman Page Six Magazine
Jimmy Kimmel never told Sarah Silverman she was pretty. That bastard.
Sarah Silverman sat down with Page Six magazine to express how happy she is with new boyfriend Alec Sulkin. All the while, she was sure to serve up some backhanded insults to ex Jimmy Kimmel. Eh, who can blame her? We’ve all been there.
Let’s take a look:
On how Jimmy Kimmel is a chubby, baby in comparison to her new slim Adonis:
“He’s really skinny. Usually I like pudgy, macho-ish guys. But I think I mistook macho-ish for strong, emotionally. And I think it’s really the opposite.”
Jimmy Kimmel never said anything nice:
[Alec Sulkin] is “the first guy in a decade who’s given me any kind of compliment, like saying I’m pretty or anything.”
Oh, and she’s Team Conan:
“Conan was my first big break,” Silverman says. “He put me on all the time. I played on the Conan soccer team. I have a place in my heart so special for him.”
And team marijuana, too:
“I went to the doctor and was honest. I said, ‘When I’m working and I have to get to sleep for the next day, I’d rather smoke a little bit of Indica than take a sleeping pill. Also when I have menstrual cramps, that makes it go away.”
The issue hits newsstands Thursday.
