Celebrity Women & Models

You may want to think twice before Googling Jessica Alba’s name again. According to a recent research conducted by Internet security company McAfee, Alba is ranked among “The 15 most dangerous celebrities to search for on the Web”.

Jessica ranked #6 with “Red-ranked risky sites were identified when searching for “Jessica Alba” and “Jessica Alba downloads.” The sites contained hundreds of malicious downloads, links to other bad sites, misleading offers to gather information, and a high number of spam emails when an email address was provided.”

The full list includes:

1 Brad Pitt
2 Beyoncé
3 Justin Timberlake
4 Heidi Montag
5 Mariah Carey
6 Jessica Alba
7 Lindsay Lohan
8 Cameron Diaz
9 George Clooney, Rihanna
11 Angelina Jolie
12 Fergie
13 David Beckham, Katie Holmes
15 Katherine Heigl

Looks like it is no longer only porn that can get there diseases into your computer so better beware.

I debated about whether or not to even bother writing about this because, on the one hand, who cares? However, on the other hand, several readers have emailed me to ask me to post about it so we can talk about it. So here you go.

Roseanne Barr posted a blog entry of her own, where she ripped apart Jon Voight, then went on to tear down Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. One classy gem is this:

your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (Just sayin’).

I don’t even really know what to say. I know that not everyone is going to love Brad and Angelina, and honestly, I really don’t expect everyone to do so. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion, but what purpose is served by spewing such incredible vitriol as that? There are several celebrities that I personally can’t stand, but I can’t be bothered to go out of my way to blast each one of them - nor do I go to fan websites and snark over there. I just leave it at “I really don’t like XYZ” and there’s no need for more.

I can only wonder if Roseanne has some new project coming up and needs to direct some free publicity her way. Slamming two major stars who are of interest to a great deal of people? That is a surefire way to get attention.

Never mind that she’s not even right. Brad and Angelina donate a great deal more money than just $3 million. I’d love Roseanne to let us know how much SHE gives to those in need on a regular basis.

I won’t even get into the snarky tone she uses when discussing the Jolie-Pitt children.

It’s a shame and it saddens me because I was always a huge fan of Roseanne - in fact I still love to watch the show Roseanne in re-runs in the evenings. She never failed to make me laugh (especially now that I’m a mother myself and can relate even more), but now she’s just making me sigh.

Ugh. In light of this, let’s all watch the wonderful video that reader Lara linked to in the comments a few entries back, a video showing some of the great work Angelina Jolie has done with the UNHCR - some of the footage includes things Brad Pitt has done too.

Take THAT, Roseanne.

Well, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? I’m afraid I can’t arrange for you to actually shower with Brad Pitt (and besides, Angelina Jolie might not appreciate that!). But you can help him while you’re in the shower.

Brad is teaming up with Kiehl’s for their new Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser. Not only is the cleanser good for the environment, something that’s important to Brad, what with all the eco-friendly details of the homes he’s having built in New Orleans. Aside from that, proceeds from the sales of the $16 product will benefit the JPF Eco Systems Charity - a foundation that was created by Brad and Kiehl’s for the sake of global environmental initiatives.

We won’t be seeing any steamy photos of Brad Pitt in the shower, unfortunately. He has no plans to endorse the product with his face (or anything else) in commercials, but the bottle does feature a handwritten note from Brad on the label. Almost good enough for me!

Will you try the product out?

Now, now. Get your mind out of the gutter. Not like that. However, George Clooney mentioned he would be more willing to strip down in movie roles if he looked like Brad Pitt. He said:

“It wouldn’t look good for me, particularly in my boxers. If I was built like Brad Pitt I’d do it all the time. Wouldn’t you?”

Then all kidding aside, he said that he is also very happy to see all the work that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie do to help other people, such as the efforts in New Orleans, post-Katrina.

“He and Angie really put their money where their mouth is. I’m always very impressed by them.”

I also read somewhere that George Clooney is planning on giving more money to Brad’s Make It Right program but I can no longer find the article.

I love Brad and George. They always make me smile. And honestly, I don’t think George should be so hard on himself - I’m sure many people would be very happy to see him in his underwear too. Ahem.

As we enter into the weekend, I kept thinking of the cute photos of Brad Pitt out with Zahara the other day and I thought, you know what we need? More Brad. Lots more Brad.

I’m looking forward to a weekend with a bit of relaxation, so hopefully this video will offer you some as well.

The song is one of my old favorites, “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer. Enjoy!

Although Angelina Jolie has been laying low, getting to know her new babies, X17Online has photos up showing that Brad Pitt had a date with his mom and his oldest daughter, Zahara. His dad was apparently there too, but there were no pictures of him that I could see. The group went to a museum in Saint-Paul France, soaking in a bit of culture together, then hit up La Colombe d’Or for something to eat.

Check out the photos of Brad Pitt with Zahara and his parents here!

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?

I was shocked on Saturday morning to read that Bernie Mac had passed away. At only 50 years old, it didn’t seem possible, and the last thing I had read about him sometime last week was that he appeared to be responding well to treatment for the pneumonia that had hospitalized him at the beginning of the month. It’s a terrible loss and I feel so sad for his family.

Aside from being a comedian and having acted in a great deal of movies, Bernie Mac was in Ocean’s 13 with Brad Pitt.

Brad issued a statement, saying, “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with [his wife], Rhonda, and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

George Clooney issued a similar statement: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.”

Such an incredibly sad story.

It seems to be official now - according to Variety, Brad Pitt has officially signed on to play a role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards.

Hang on. I have to go breathe into a paper bag. Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino. This makes me SO HAPPY.

Okay, all better now.

According to the article, most of the movie will be in French or German with subtitles; however, Brad will still speak English, playing a “Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis”.

There had been rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio would be cast in a role as well, though there is no mention of it now; he may have had scheduling conflicts. Casting is predicted to be finished within the next couple of weeks.

Because of the location of the film itself, it makes sense for Brad to choose to take on this role. By the time actual filming gets started, the babies will be a bit older and filming will be done nearby, in parts of France and Germany, so hopefully the Jolie-Pitt family will be able to remain at the chateau.

(Thanks, Ligaya, for the heads’ up!)

I’ve noticed in the comments section that some of you are trying to make arrangements to send each other copies of People and Hello! if they aren’t sold in your area, and that some of you are asking friends and relatives in the U.S. to send them to you. When people want to see Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their kids in a huge photo spread, things happen!

I wanted to alert you to something that reader Sharon emailed me about. There is a website called Zinio which allows you to purchase digital copies of many popular magazines. I went to the site and couldn’t find People but I did find Hello! under the entertainment listing.

She also sent me a copy since apparently you can send some to friends once you purchase it - It’s quite neat really. It’s like having the full magazine right there on your screen.

While I know a lot of people would like to have the physical copy of the issues featuring photos of Brad, Angelina, Vivienne, Knox, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh, if that isn’t an option for you, this might help a little!

Thanks Sharon!
