Blogger Perez Hilton has been hit with a libel suit by the jeweler who designed the engagement ring Brad Pitt gave to Angie. The Beverly Hills jeweler Robert Procop filed a suit in court today saying that Hilton wrongly accused him of committing fraud in connection with the sale of a 1985 diamond necklace. more ›

After celebrating her engagement to Brad Pitt with a family trip to the Galapagos Islands, Angelina Jolie headed to Ecuador for her inaugural trip as special envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. more ›

The Beverly Hills jeweler wasn't joking: Brad and Angelina confirmed that after 7 years together, they're getting married. more ›

Angie's right leg is about to get really jealous of Angie's left finger. News that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could be getting engaged comes from, of all places, a Beverly Hills jeweler. Apparently, a ring was spotted on Jolie's left finger while she was at LACMA a few night ago. more ›

Brangelina was spotted recently at the drive-in of a McDonald's ordering food. You can take a gander at the photo snapped by a paparazzi over at TMZ, but there weren't too many details. more ›

It was everywhere last night, and people can't seem to stop talking about it. No, not Jennifer Lopez's possible nip-slip. We're talking about Angelina Jolie's right leg, sticking right out of that made-for-it slit in her gown as she posed on the red carpet and stood onstage at Sunday's 84th Annual Academy Awards. more ›

We have it on good authority that Hollywood insiders hate having their status threatened. And so it must have been amusing for Jon Voight, Angelina' Jolie's father, to suggest to a reporter that his grandchildren -- all six of them -- might soon present some serious competition for folks in the movie industry. more ›

Should Brad Pitt ever find himself suddenly alone, Kody Brown, the polygamous husband of "Sister Wives" fame, would like Pitt to know that there's a place for him in their family's Utah home. “If there was going to be a brother husband, I would ask Brad to join the family,” Brown told the Huffington Post. more ›

In a box-office landscape where week-over-week drops of 50% are considered pretty good, Inception's staggeringly small 31% dip looks downright amazing. The Chris Nolan dreamscape tallied $43.5M ($143.6M) to easily dispatch the weekend's big newcomer, Salt ($36.5M). The sly Despicable Me continues to chug along ($24.1M | $161.7M), while the just plain bad Sorcerer's Apprentice ($9.6M | $42.6M) and the amazing Toy Story 3 ($9M | $379.5M) rounded out the top 5. more ›

I wasn't terribly interested in Salt until I read the brilliant grump Jeffrey Wells give it a decent rave over at Hollywood Elsewhere. Consider me interested now, though I'm still not completely sold on Angelina Jolie as an action star (see Tomb Raider). I am, however, sold on Mads Mikkelsen as the star of Valhalla Rising. If only Nicolas Winding Refn were doing the new Conan. He's perfect for it! The only thing I know about Ramona and Beezus is that fanboys are jizzing over Selena Gomez. Whoever that is. Apparently, she just turned 18. more ›

As LAist noted earlier today, tonight is National Night Out, uh, night. If you live in Northridge, you can catch a free outdoor screening of Kung Fu Panda at Northridge Park this evening. As noted in the press release from the office of Councilman Greig Smith (Greig? Really?): more ›

How is it that I 100% get the appeal of the Twilight books, but am completely mystified by the massive success of High School Musical 3? As far as I can see, HSM3 has only one thing going for it. Strange that an essentially clunky film like Gran Torino worked so well, while a seemingly fascinating film like Changeling fell flat. Speaking of movies not working, Body of Lies was about as disappointing as they get, huh? How on earth do you so badly waste the brilliant Russell Crowe? Choke was good, dirty fun. It's worth a rental. more ›

With that pesky, couples-oriented, Hallmark holiday just around the corner we thought we'd help our readers get into the spirit with a fun little exercise we like to call, "Best Sex Scenes in Movies." It's certainly no secret that sex sells and the opportunist in us couldn't pass on the chance to plug it. After hours of exhaustive but thoroughly entertaining research, we compiled a list of the top ten scenes that fit our bill. From those that inspire the heart, to those that arouse the senses, we feel confident there will be something for everyone in our collection. (Please be warned that our content may not be suitable for anyone under the age of eighteen or safe for work.) more ›

Sooner or later Pixar has to release a dud, right? They can't just keep releasing great film after great film can they? Won't the odds eventually catch up to them? Maybe not. The early critical reception for Wall-E has been nothing short of ecstatic. If you thought the first ten, dialogue-free minutes of . more ›

The Los Angeles Film Festival officially kicks off tonight with the premiere of the awful-looking Angelina Jolie action flick, . It's something about assassins, tattoos, curving bullets and explosions--you know, standard indie fare. Starting tomorrow, the festival begins in earnest with films and events rolling at 18 locations all around Los Angeles. Most, however, are relegated to Westwood and the surrounding neighborhoods. While parking will certainly be tight and pricey, any cinema lover will find an over-abundance of things to do. more ›

I understand the appeal of Steven Seagal far more than I ever will that of Adam Sandler. I've hated him in his comedies just as much as I have in his dramas. In fact, I've yet to make it through the entirety of even though Paul Thomas Anderson is high on my list of favorite directors. Considering all that, there's obviously no chance that I'll be seeing You Don't Mess with the Zohan. more ›

There are a lot of quality events going on about town this hump day evening: more ›

A few weeks ago we ran a story called "Irksome and Insufferable: The Ten Most Annoying Singers". Given that actors are just as capable of being annoying as musicians, I thought it would be worthwhile to throw out 10 names for public review. I avoided the easy ones (Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, etc.) and tried to cobble together a list of actors who--for whatever reason--are actually considered to be pretty good by the masses. But not by me! In their own ways, each one of these actors makes me anxious whenever I watch them. more ›

Yesterday, famed and veteran Los Angeles fashion designer, Mr. Blackwell, talked up his worst-dressed women list, just released this morning, with LAist. He began the annual list 48 years ago. "I was sick of the ugly clothes that were being presented in the fashion industry and as dress designer I wanted to express my opinion. I never expected it to be this big." more ›

When Sharon Stone wears a gown that looks like she's been shot or Lindsay Lohan goes out in public in an insanely sheer dress, Mr. Blackwell considers their candidacy for his annual top 10 worst dressed. Countless actresses and singers made questionable wardrobe choices in 2007. The overexposed, the under-dressed, and the over-the-top take center stage in this yearly ritual. Tomorrow Mr. Blackwell, the well-known fashion critic and designer, will unveil his 48th Annual Worst-Dressed Women list. LAist asked Mr. Blackwell about dressing movie stars, his favorite style icon, and of course our fascination with fashion disasters. more ›

Producers and writers have been talking and numbers are starting to be released. Nothing's final yet, but this strike could be soon over. What does $9.3 million buy the LAPD? It will finish the job on a backlog of 6,700 of DNA testing for sexual assault cases. Les Deux Cafe, a club where celebiatches Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears hang out, was scene to a fight early this morning that led to... more ›
