New Face of LV

Well the rumours were true, Angelina Jolie is the new face of Louis Vuitton.  Her first ad for their Core Values campaign was released today.

The photo, taken by Annie Leibovitz in Cambodia's Siem Reap province, shows Angelina off in all her raw glory - she's in her own clothes, wearing no makeup (so they claim, but those eyes look a little made-up to me)  and toting her years old Aldo LV bag, which incidentally, is no longer available and hasn't been for years.  My guess is they'll have to crank up the production line again as am sure Ms Jolie is going to make it v popular.

Some other famous faces who have fronted the Core Values campaign for LV in the past.

    Francis Ford Coppola and daughter Sophie       Catherine Deneuve

Well between the actors, the former president, the writers, the rock stars and the world champion tennis players, she's in rather glamorous company don't you think?

5 things you didn't need to know

1. Elton John and David Furnish have apparently chosen Lady Gaga to be godparent of their new bebe. WTF.
2. Barack Obama hasn't smoked a cigarette in over a year.
3. The current season of Two and a Half Men has been cancelled.  Only the current season?  Dammit.
4. Donna Hay has dropped 3 dress sizes.  How do you do that?  I want to know.  Now.
5. Angelina Jolie has commissioned a London based designer to create a diamond pendant for you-know-who with a teeny weeny "love message" engraved on it.  Trying to care.  Beats vials of blood soaked petals I s'pose.  And YES, I was a member of Team Aniston and NO, I haven't let it go.

Movie Review: The Tourist

For all the hype this movie received, I found it so disappointing.

The storyline was flimsy and the action mildly entertaining at best. The "bad guys" where the type of caricatures we've come to scoff at when we watch back old James Bond movies. Angelina was exquisite but dull as she purred her way from scene to scene. If character actor extraordinaire Johnny Depp can't breathe life into someone, no one can. And FYI, I don't know why Vanessa Paradis was worried about the chemisty between her husband and femme fatale Angelina? There was none.

I give it a 2 out of 5.
