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?

Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck are expecting baby number two - confirmed by Garner’s former Alias co-star Victor Garber.

The pair have evaded spotlight since having their daughter Violet two years ago and according to all the reports I’ve seen/read or heard, they’re doing a wonderful job of parenting the little Miss V.

Last October, Jennifer hinted that she and Ben were looking at possibly adding another baby to their family and it looks like her plan is taking shape.

Rumors have sparked over recent weeks as the result of her wearing loose fitting tops.

No word yet on when the world can expect another Bennifer baby arrival, but you can bet we’ll be watching the progress for sure.

Rumors are a -buzzing around the webosphere about Jennifer Garner wanting to boot Ben Affleck out of the house. But Ben insists things are just peachy keen. Ben and Jen (Garner, not Lopez) just celebrated their third anniversary and says they’re taking some family time to get away from the spotlight.

Apparently Ben and the Mrs. celebrated the big “3″ with Ben’s buddy, Matt Damon. They cheered, they toasted, they paid the check and left.

What I’m thinking here is that maybe Ben doesn’t KNOW that Jen’s been looking for a new Mr. Right. After all, it’s been her pattern (much like J-Lo, unfortunately) to wind up with a new guy before she ever really breaks up with the last one.

I know Ben and Jen (Lopez, not Garner) are happy with their spouses now, but doesn’t a little tiny part of you still want to see them together?

I know that she’s supposed to look like Molly Ringwald’s character in Pretty in Pink, but I never noticed just how much Avril Lavigne looks like Jennifer Garner’s character (Sydney Bristow) in Alias in this screen shot from the “Girlfriend” video.  Legally, I can’t post a real screen cap from the TV show, but if you’ve ever seen Alias and/or think that she looks JUST like one of Sydney’s “aliases” in this picture, let me know!
