Pop Culture: Angelina Jolie is "an expert in lesbian love
Arguably one of the sexiest women in the world, Angelina Jolie brags of being "an expert in lesbian love." Sky News revealed recently that Jolie admitted to having sex with women, friends and multiple partners of both sexes.She comments that as a woman, "you know how to do things a certain way."
Not only is Jolie a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency, the actress is also a promoter of safe sex, too. However, she does not feel the need to be in a relationship before having sex. Jolie did clear up rumors about her sizzling co-stars Colin Farrell and Brad Pitt, denying she had sex with either. "Brad is a married man. I wouldn't sleep with a married man," said Jolie. "I have enough lovers. I don't need Brad."
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals feel that one-woman industry Jennifer Lopez has committed a major fashion faux pas. Her new Sweetface collection, unveiled last month, features what PETA feels is an unnecessary amount of fur. "Please don't support Jennifer Lopez or her bloody business," pleaded PETA's Web site, according to the Associated Press. "Many hot designers, including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Todd Oldham, Marc Bouwer and others have...created synthetic alternatives that are hip, humane and easily available and don't turn animals into fashion victims."
The Web site details Chinese animal skinning techniques and juxtaposes images of animals being killed with photos of Lopez modeling fur fashions. PETA is urging the public to "write to J. Lo and tell her that promoting the violence of the fur industry is a low-down, dirty, rotten shame.
"Lopez may try to convince her fans that her rabbit-trimmed jackets are a must-have, but what she won't tell you is that bunnies killed for fur coats scream as they are skinned alive!"
Lopez has not yet released a response.
Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe revealed this week that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network plotted to kidnap him in early 2001 in an effort to "culturally destabilize" the United States. The New Zealand native told GQ that the FBI provided him with protection during the production of A Beautiful Mind and during part of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. He claimed agents also followed him at the Golden Globe awards ceremony in 2001.
When asked who in the terrorist organization was after him, Crowe responded, "Um... well, that was the first conversation in my life that I'd heard the phrase Al Qaeda." Crowe says that he was told that a French policewoman in Libya or Algeria had come across the threat through a recording.
Yet there is support for Crowe's assertion, as CNN reported an anonymous federal law official verified that Crowe's name was on a list of possible Al Qaeda kidnap targets.
"I don't think that I was the only person [on the list]" says Crowe, "but it was about-and here's another little touch of irony-it was about taking iconographic Americans out of the picture as a sort of cultural-destabilization plan.
