Mandela, Coelho and Nat = The Dream Team

  • Post author:

Man, it feels good being a fan of Natalie. Even her harshest critic would have to admit that her charity work over the last few years has been really impressive, and today we have news of yet another new cause – The Big Read.

The fact that one in every four women cannot read this is the incentive for the Global Campaign for Education’s huge international effort to put literacy on the forefront of the global agenda and ensure that the international community take the steps to ensure Education for All. Some of the world’s favourite personalities are leading the way in the effort that will see millions of individuals ‘Write their name, for those who can’t’, during Global Action Week 20th – 26th April 2009.

The Big Read contains stories, and writing from Mandela, Tutu, Natalie Portman, Alice Walker, Paulo Coelho, Queen Rania, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Michael Morporgo, former child labourer Devli Kumari, former child soldier Ishmael Beah, and many others. All contributing authors feel that having an education and the ability to read has transformed their lives and are joining this effort to help everyone to have this chance in life.

More on the non existant love triangle

Rachel has found another piece of gossipy BS about Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and that harpy, Natalie Portman. If its like this now can you imagine what it’ll be like once filming starts. I hope they don’t plan to shoot on location, because a snap of Brad and Nat kissing (even for a scene) will be like Christmas for the tabloids.

The following is courtesy of FemaleFirst.

Angelina Jolie is jealous of Natalie Portman.

The ‘Changeling’ star reportedly flew into a rage with partner Brad Pitt – with whom she raises six children – after learning the ‘Closer’ actress had personally asked for him to play her older lover in a new movie.

A source said: “Angelina had a massive fit and was shouting her head off. She accused Brad of flirting with Natalie.

“Angelina can’t help but feel threatened. Brad knows how jealous she gets but won’t stop saying how gorgeous and intelligent Natalie is. He keeps saying she is ‘cute as a button.’ “

People see Brothers, Dazza gets jealous

“Later” as in “later this week”, not “later today” 😉

Okay, so here is that promised Brothers update. We’re still all in the dark as to when this Jim Sheridan directed film will be released. I guess counter programming for summer would be smart for the box office but since we haven’t even seen any publicity shots yet, that seems unlikely. My guess would be sometime in the fall, as I don’t think they’d want to be too close to the end of year deluge of prestige films.

Thus far, all we’ve got to be excited about are the reports from screenings of the film, which have been largely very positive towards the film and the 3 central performances.

Well we’ve got a couple more of those opinions after the jump.
