Make that Edwina A. Salt.

The espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt, originally intended as a vehicle for Mission: Impossible hero Tom Cruise, is being rewritten for Angelina Jolie now that Cruise is no longer attached, Variety reports.

Jolie has not yet signed on to the pic, but she is reportedly close to a deal and changes are already underway in hopes that all will go according to plan. The Bone Collector helmer Philip Noyce will still direct, but the film, about a CIA agent who’s accused of spying for the Russians, will get a new title.

Cruise—and several other actors—had been eyeing the project, but after Cruise fell through it was Jolie’s interest that got Columbia Pictures seriously thinking about a rewrite. Read the rest of this entry…

Exclusive photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins fetched $14 million, a person involved in the negotiations told The Associated Press, giving People magazine and a British tabloid joint rights to publish the most expensive celebrity pictures ever sold.

The money — more than double the $6 million People paid for Jennifer Lopez’ twins on a March cover, according to Forbes — will go to a foundation created by Pitt and Jolie that largely focuses on helping children around the world.

It’s the second time the celebrity weekly won the North American rights to the couple’s first-look baby pictures, and the third time they’ve worked with the two magazines in exchange for a hefty donation to charity. Read the rest of this entry…

According to reports, Angelina Jolie plans to reunite with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton to do a comedy movie. Thornton recently admitted to Maxim magazine that he and Jolie have been looking for the right script.

“We’ve talked about it plenty of times. I’m sure we will. We want to be really careful that we pick the right one. Maybe a comedy. In other words, we wouldn’t want to do another movie about a husband-wife relationship,” he said. “That probably wouldn’t be very good.”

Jolie and Thornton were married in 2000 and divorced in 2003. The actress has been with partner Brad Pitt since 2005. She recently gave birth to their fifth and sixth children, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.
