Mistress Angelina

Angelina Jolie

According to Mike Walker of The National Enquirer, Angelina Jolie took a break from filming her new movie ‚Äö?Ñ??Wanted‚Äö?Ñ?? in Prague recently, to purchase some “toys” from a local sex shop. Jolie apparently bought a black leather garter belt and a black riding crop at the shop, aptly named ‚Äö?Ñ??Erotic City‚Äö?Ñ??.

“Since Angelina doesn’t ride horses in her movie”, writes Walker, “this week‚Äö?Ñ?¥s intriguing gossip question is: If the idea is to whip up a little consensual fun, who’s the whip-ee? Or is the crop simply a decorator accessory destined to hang on a wall?”

Although Angelina has made no secret of being sexually adventurous, the fact that this piece of gossip is being reported by The National Enquirer, gives cause to take the news with a grain of salt. Still though, it’s fun to imagine Brad Pitt bent over Jolie’s knee and having his bare butt whipped, all the while confessing what a bad boy he’s been.

Celebrity Death Match: Oprah VS. Angelina

Oprah Winfrey is reportedly furious with Angelina Jolie for turning down her request to participate in some of the talk show billionaire’s charity work. Winfrey invited Jolie to help promote a girl’s school in Africa and was shocked when Jolie turned her down.

A source said: “Oprah thought Angelina would jump at the chance because she knows how much Angelina loves Africa,” but Jolie is allegedly not too happy Oprah took sides with baby’s daddy Brad Pitt’s ex Jennifer Aniston. A source at Team Jolie added: “Angelina has never forgiven Oprah for siding with Jennifer Aniston after Brad Pitt split from Jen.” Oprah has been quoted saying “it’s the last time she’ll ask Angelina to help with any of her causes.”

In my opinion Oprah has one big pair of chocolate salty of balls asking Angelina in the first place; proffesional reporters and talk show hosts shouldn’t take sides in personal matters like this, especially when it’s something which does not involve them directly . They should play devil’s advocate, remain unbiased and give equal time to both sides.

Was she expecting Angelina to forgive and forget just because she’s the all-mighty Oprah? Jolie certainly doesn’t need any handouts, cars, houses or Laura Ashley 300-thread-count sheet sets, she’s always played by her own rules and has made it very clear she’s her own person. Perhaps Jolie’s title as the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador had something to do with Oprah asking in the first place. Winfrey has tried to portrayed herself as a sort of Mother Theresa/Princess Diana humanitarian figure for some time now, being associated with someone of Jolie’s stature would certainly bring her up a few more notches in the eyes of America’s soccer moms ( and advertising dollars ). Note on Oprah’s desk: Angie says you’re not all that sister-girl. Deal.

Jared Paul Stern shot by Patrick McMullan

A New York Post Page Six staffer solicited $220,000 from a high-profile billionaire in return for a year‚Äö?Ñ?¥s ‚Äö?Ñ??protection‚Äö?Ñ?? against inaccurate and unflattering items about him in the gossip page, the Daily News has learned.

In two 90-minute meetings, characterized by a shocking breach of ethics, Jared Paul Stern, a fixture on the city‚Äö?Ñ?¥s gossip scene who also edited Page Six The Magazine, asked for a series of payments from Ron Burkle, the managing partner of Yucaipa Cos., a conglomerate with interests in supermarkets, celebrity clothing lines, and media.

It was all a setup, a sting monitored by law enforcement, including the U.S. attorney‚Äö?Ñ?¥s office and the FBI, who are now investigating the extortion attempt. The meetings, on March 22 and March 31, were videotaped.

It’s Not Easy Being Lee

Page Six reports Lee Radziwill “bolted” out of Tuesday’s night’s opening preview of “Grey Gardens” after the first act, when she “witnessed a little girl onstage playing a pre-pubescent version of herself, singing a song called “Being Bouvier” and expressing a wish to someday marry a prince.”

Among the audience members who attended the critically acclaimed musical adaptation of the Maysles Brothers 1975 documenatry of the same name, were fabled journalist Ben Bradlee and his wife Sally Quinn, who bought the historic East Hampton estate 25 years ago.

Also there was Albert Maysles himself, who along with his brother David Maysles, made the now cult classic documentary about the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Angelina Jolie’s Lesbian Lover is Talking

The Sun has a juicy article about a television interview with supermodel Jenny Shimizu which airs tonight on Sky One in which she claims her sexual relationship with Angelina Jolie has lasted 11 years. Jenny and Angelina met while filming the movie Foxfire in 1993, and their onscreen lesbian affair continued offscreen when the movie wrapped. Their relationship also continued while Angelina was married to her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller. She says,

She’s a gorgeous woman. We were already sleeping together when I met Jonny while on Foxfire. She told both of us how she felt and we all went out to dinner one night. She was honest - that’s how she’s been her whole life. We didn’t have a threesome - I’m not really into that - it was a friendship the three of us had. But there wasn’t very much conversation with Jonny. I think he was very threatened by me.”

What’s The Big Deal With This Guy?

null

Who cares if he’s gay? The real story is how the media randomly selects some unknown actor every new TV season and forces them down your throat to the point where you can’t stand to see the person. I call this phenomenon “Eva Langoria Syndrome” and it is spread through the brain-eating virus known as “Access Hollywood.” I’ll believe the hype if the series makes it a few seasons and anyone still cares by then.

From So-Thin!:

He’s A Hand Holder

Sources in attendance report that Wentworth Miller ( star of the Fox show “Prison Break” ), was seen holding hands with another tall-dark-and-handsome dude at the now infamous T-Mobile Party. The closeted couple sat in a booth surrounded by a group of close friends, sucking face vodka tonics. Wenty, recently subject of a blind item, has been dodging the gay rumors since getting his big break in the Mariah Carey videos. I am sure in between takes, Wenty had to contain himself from singing “Emotions” at the top of lungs and admiring Mimi’s 25 ft. long wedding train. So-Thin! has evidence that Wentworth was in a relationship with a man, more to come on this not-so-blind item …
