Celebrity Women & Models

Back when we were discussing movies we’d love to see with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, many people expressed an interest in seeing Angelina return as Lara Croft in another Tomb Raider installment. Looks like it’s not going to happen.

Apparently the role of Lara Croft will be resumed by someone new, 23-year-old Alison Carroll. You can check it out over here.

(I was amused by the story about how she got locked in her apartment the day of her big meeting with producers and had to throw her bags over the first-floor balcony, leaped over, and jumped the fence to get there.)

It will be interesting to see how she holds up. To me, Angelina Jolie will always be Lara Croft so I’m not sure how well I can accept a new version. It would be, to me, as if they replaced Harrison Ford as Han Solo in Return of the Jedi.

On the other hand, if Angelina does indeed take on the new CIA role sometime next year, she’ll still have plenty of time for high action stunt work!

Edited to add: I read this late last night, after a very long and tiring day. As a result I misunderstood and didn’t realize that this new girl is not starring in an upcoming movie, she is simply the new promotional girl for the game. Sorry for the confusion.

However, now I’d like to open it up for discussion and ask you all who else in Hollywood could play Lara Croft if Angelina Jolie did not take the role for a hypothetical new Tomb Raider film? If it can’t be her, who’s your next choice? The only person I can think of off the top of my head is maybe Jennifer Garner because of her great work on Alias. The biggest problem there, though is that she doesn’t quite look the part. She’s very pretty but she’s more of the “girl next door” look whereas Angelina really did look like Lara Croft is supposed to.

Ideas?

Her increasingly desperate attempts to dabble in the music industry have resulted in yet another embarrassing public snub for Kate Moss.
The 34-year-old, who has hired a villa in Ibiza for the summer, tried to join Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe on the decks while he played at the Amnesia nightclub.
‘Kate’s been pestering Zane to go on his radio show, so when she saw him
in Ibiza she thought she’d seize the chance to join him on stage,’ says a source.
‘Zane likes Kate, but his minders took exception to her trying to get into the DJ box and told her to leave because she was making a nuisance of herself.’
Kate was once booed off stage when she sang with her ex Pete Doherty and Babyshambles.
She was also banned from joining boyfriend Jamie Hince’s band The Kills
at Glastonbury this year on the strict instructions of lead singer Alison Mosshart.
Kate has been holidaying in the Balearics with a host of celebrity pals, including Topshop tycoon Sir Philip Green, Sylvester Stallone and designer Marc Jacobs.
Along for the cruise if Kate’s mother Linda and daughter Lila Grace - whose father is her ex-boyfriend, publisher Jefferson Hack.
Notably absent has been boyfriend Jamie, who has been performing with his band in the U.S.

If the increasing likelihood of bankruptcy is making you bitter, suck on this: a miracle fruit that turns sour flavors sweet. Better stock up on food stamps if you like the sound of that. Brangelina is one couple that won't likely be worrying about inflation and such trifles; they've got a massive, sprawling château to move into, even if it is just a loaner. Madonna might be in the market for a new crib, too; the Malawian powers-that-be have declared her fit to care for a babe, which must come as a relief to someone who's already a mother.

Looking to add some more heads of state to your buddy list? Just friend Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao the next time you're on Facebook and hope he accepts. Sharon Stone, who had a few choice words to say about China's recent earthquake, is probably not one of the 12,500-plus in Jiabao's entourage. Michael Bloomberg's new friend Nathan Lane may have gotten the mayor a role on Broadway, which, if he accepts, means he might have to go up against the musical version of "Ugly Betty" in a bid for best worst idea. Speaking of friends, trustworthy Michael Lohan says what everyone's been thinking about Lindsay and gal pal Sam's close relationship. Whatever the connection, at least Samlo are friends in real life, unlike the "Sex and the City" fan who dropped over 20 grand to hang out with her television friends, only to find out it was scam. Which got us to thinking: Isn't the most significant relationship of all the one you have with yourself? Yeah, that's we thought.
