Angelina Jolie Covers Vanity Fair October 2011


Her fans are some of the most loyal in the world, and Beyoncé Knowles had quite the reaction to her pregnancy news on the social networking website Twitter.

During the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (August 28), tweets regarding the “Crazy in Love” singer’s bun in the oven hit a high of 8,868 per second at 10:35pm ET. Previous record holders were the Women’s World Cup, Osama bin Laden’s death, and Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.

The “Run The World (Girls)” songstress will be scaling back her responsibilities in preparation for her soon-to-be-born, but she’s still staying signed on for the October 8th Michael Jackson Tribute Concert.

According to Knowles’ rep, she’ll sing via satellite and her “pregnancy will not affect her performance.”

And since she’s said to be about four months along currently, that means Beyonce will be halfway through her fifth month when she takes the stage in October.

She’s always on the go, and earlier today (August 30) Miranda Kerr was spotted at the Sydney Airport in Sydney, Australia.

The supermodel mommy was gearing up for a departing flight after having spent some time in her homeland promoting her Kora Organics skin care line.

In related news, Miranda is also quite passionate about helping out the suicide prevention team at Kids Helpline, as her cousin took his own life a few years back.

She told press, “There’s not really a great awareness about the services available to kids and that’s why I’m behind this great cause. If we can reach just one child and let them know there is someone out there who wants to listen, that could help to save their life.”

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Emmanuelle Chriqui was spotted at “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” last night (August 29).

The beautiful brunette babe looked lovely as she chatted with Fallon, sporting massive hoop earrings along with a black shirt with floral designs and jeans.

During the course of her interview, Emmanuelle brought up the new stage production she’s in, titled “Love, Loss, and What I Wore.”

Ms. Chriqui also noted that there are only two episodes of her hit show “Entourage” left before the series is over- a fact Fallon was not excited about.

Stepping out for a social call, Sandra Bullock was spotted at a private residence in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (August 29).

Joined by her son Louis, the “Proposal” actress looked lovely as she strolled out to her car following the visit with a friend.

Sandra’s buddy George Lopez recently told press that although his show has been canceled, he’s glad to have a pal like Bullock in his corner.

“She invested in me, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer. And with that, and just who she is, she has my undying love, and my undying loyalty. I did not have a mother, and I would have very much liked that one to be mine! She’s already my fairy godmother, but any child that gets to be in Sandra Bullock’s arms is going to be a great person.”

She’s the queen of celebrity merchandising, and Jessica Simpson's latest line of product falls into the fine jewelry category.

The “Dukes of Hazzard” hottie has become the first celebrity license for Firestar Diamonds, and her Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend collection will be available in Zales stores this fall.

Zales honcho Theo Killion told press, “Jessica Simpson is viewed as the girl next door, and our guest is a midmarket guest and we believe she is someone that they can identify with. She has great reach and great power across a number of different categories, so doing a diamond fashion collection made perfect sense.”

Jessica shared, “Jewelry is such personal expression of style and taste. This collection has allowed me to create pieces that truly reflect who I am, and that can become a keepsake for lifetime. The collection is beautifully crafted. The designs are airy and artistic and so easy to wear.”

Thoroughly enjoying their newlywed status, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were spotted leaving their hotel in New York City last night (August 29).

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” babe and her hunky hubby were both smiling widely as they headed out onto the Manhattan streets for a Big Apple adventure.

And it sounds like someone is trying to get Kim’s sex tape with Ray J taken off the market once and for all.

Vivid boss Steve Hirsch told press, "I was approached by a private party who has asked us about looking into the possibility of acquiring all rights of the Vivid, 'Kim Kardashian Sex Tape.'"

She had quite a night at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, and Britney Spears leaked the news that her next single will be “Criminal” while speaking with press backstage.

The “Till The World Ends” songstress played it coy at first but then revealed that she’s already conceptualized the music video.

When asked about the single, Britney teased, “I don’t know if I”m at liberty to tell... But I will anyways. It’s ‘Criminal.’”

She added, "Actually the song, when I first heard it, it's really different and it's not anything I've heard like this before. So I really wanted to deliver this song. I was thinking of a really cool concept for the video just to make it interesting. You'll have to see."

Sometimes real life is crazier than fiction, and Kate Winslet found that out first-hand when she and her family were almost victims of a house fire.

Last week, the “Titanic” babe, her boyfriend Louis Dowler, and her kids Mia and Joe were at Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island home when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.

Winslet told press, "I will never forget Richard placing his arms around both my children as we were watching the flames, and saying, 'At the end of the day, what you realize is that all that matters is the people that you love. Everything else is just stuff. And none of that stuff matters.'"

Kate added, "I'm just glad that everyone is safe. And this easily could not have been the case."

She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).

The “Crazy in Love” songstress brought her fashion A-game as she posed inside the Nokia Theatre LA Live to prepare for her big performance, but the BIG news is the confirmation that she's expecting her first child with Jay-Z!

Quite the exciting time for Beyonce, the gorgeous singer's baby news comes shortly after she released her music video for “1+1” from her latest album 4.

Additionally, coming up on October 8th, Knowles will join in via satellite for the Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

With another year's show come and gone, the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.

The big winners at the Nokia Theatre LA Live show on Sunday night (August 28) included Katy Perry as Video of the Year honoree for "Firework" while Lady Gaga nabbed Best Female Video for "Born This Way" and Justin Bieber's "U Smile" took home the Moonman for Best Male Video.

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.

The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.

As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."

Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.

Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).

The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.

Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).

During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”

She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."

In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."

Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:

Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane

Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.

Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.

Adding another magazine cover to her credit, Angelina Jolie is on the front of Vanity Fair's October 2011 issue.

The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress gets real about her crazy life and constantly evolving career in the accompanying interview.

When asked about plans for the future, Jolie simply stated, “No secret wedding...I’m not pregnant. I’m not adopting at the moment.”

As for her partner Brad Pitt’s role in helping her professionally, she shared, “He’s been so supportive. But it’s hard to separate the person that loves you from the critic, so I don’t think he’s a fair judge.”

And Angelina also noted that writing/directing her flick “In the Land of Blood and Honey” may have made her even more jaded from future directors. “Brad thinks I’m going to be a nightmare…I had such a good experience he thinks I’m going to be impatient with directors, which I already am.”
