It’s amanzing how some things can coincide in time. Now as Angelina Jolie is traveling round the globe promoting her new movie Salt, celebrity biography writer Andrew Morton is releasing his new book Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography where he unveiled never-before-seen photos of Angie during her wildchild, pre-Brad Pitt and pre-rainbow brood period.

One of the pics featured in Star’s new cover story shows Angie with black tape over her nipples (think Lady GaGa-going-grocery-shopping style), dog collar on her neck and a cigarette in her mouth.

SEE THE PHOTO HERE.

I see nothing super scandalous about the photo. I won’t be surprised if a couple of days later we’ll find out it was made during one never-before-heard-of photoshoot for some unknown photographer.

With all my respect, this scandalous photos/Salt promotion coincidence seems so obviously made-up to me, that it makes me sick.

What do you think?

“Let Them Eat Cake” ad looks ultimately sexy and features a beautiful couple getting turned on by tequila, of course.

Why is it only 30 seconds long?

Justin Timberlake, known for his talents as a singer, songwriter, actor, producer, designer, and now a tequila maker, is one of the most hardworking guys in the industry. Hope his diverse ventures won’t keep him away from his main flair – singing – for long.

It’s confirmed, Rihanna has joined the cast of Battleship based on Hasbro’s game. Starring alongside Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) and Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights), Rihanna will make her big screen debut when Battleship comes out May 18, 2012.

Battleship is to begin shooting on August 30, 2010 but Rihanna’s character is still to be unveiled.

Though Battleship is officially Ri’s big screen debut it’s not the first time she stars in a movie. Previously, she made a cameo in Bring It On : All or Nothing as herself. The movie was released straight to DVD so that movie doesn’t really count.

Peter Berg-directed Battleship “will focuses on a massive Naval adventure across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force.”

Your thoughts, will Rihanna make a good movie actress?

Twilight hunk and one of the most talked about celebrities of the day, Robert Pattinson, was seen on set of his new movie, Water For Elephants, earlier this week looking his unusually neat self.

Such a dramatic change in comparison with his regular disheveled hair and overall i-don’t-give-a-f**k attitude!

In the pics Rob is getting ready to shoot an emotional scene where he needs to identify the bodies of his parents.

Robert in Water For Elephants reminds me of Robert in Harry Potter – a real English gentleman with carefully combed hair.

Water For Elephants is based on the historical novel of the same name by Sara Gruen. The novel centers on Jacob Jankowski (Robert Pattinson) and his experiences in a traveling circus called The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.

The movie also stars Reese Witherspoon as Marlena, Christoph Waltz as August, Hal Holbrook as older Jacob Jankowski. Filming began on May 20, 2010 in Los Angeles, Piru, and Fillmore, California.

Water For Elephants is set for release in 2011.

Iconic Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs and his fiance of a year Lorenzo Martone have split.

Lorenzo, Jacob’s Brazilian PR executive, announced the news on his Twitter page last Friday adding they were fine and not willing to comment on the break up report.

Thanks for t notes. Yes, I saw t press today. We are not together, haven’t been in 2 months. And we will not comment on it. Sorry. We r fine. (sic)” Lorenzo Martone wrote.

According to FemaleFirst.co.uk, just the day before Lorenzo made his Twitter announcement, Marc Jacobs had stated he was “not getting married.”

So sad, the two looked so great together.

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone started dating in 2008 and got engaged in March 2009. The January 2010 rumor said they had got married over New Years but neither of them confirmed or denied the reports with Lorenzo noting that “legally we’re not married yet.”

When In Rome star Lee Pace is rumored to be the #1 pick to play Garett, a new vampire you’ll meet in Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn when it hits theatres in November 2011.

According to E! News, Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) is the top person in the running to play Garrett, a down-to-earth, laid-back, rugged and nomadic vampire having a lightness and element of humor about him. You can also remember him from the book as the one with long sandy hair that he ties in a ponytail with a leather thong.

Though Summit says no one has been cast yet for the role of Garrett, and Lee’s camp doesn’t confirm the reports, the word in the street says casting him is more than just probable.

ABOUT KATY PERRY

Kesha sat down with Paper Magazine to discuss some pretty personal stuff and reveal more of her offbeat personality in the mag’s summer issue.

In her interview with Paper’s Whitney Spaner Ke$ha said that she found transvestites really inspiring. According to her, they made her want to be a better woman setting an example of what a real woman could actually look and be like. Check it out:

Freaks are what make everything mildly more interesting in life but with trannies, they make me want to be a better woman. I see these men who have way better bodies than I do, more beautiful faces, better complexions, beautiful makeup, and they’re more fun than any person I’ve met in my life. They make me feel like I’m not a very good woman.”

Very, say, self-critical of you, Ke$ha!

in her interview with the publication Kesha also talked about Jack Daniels, pick-up methods and her pervert personality. Here are some highlights, for the complete interview go to PaperMag.com.

Kesha on Jack Daniels:

I like whiskey and I like red wine – those are my two favorites. I love to lie around my house listening to vinyl records and drinking red wine. It’s amazing. But I’m never home, so…

On being a pervert:

I wouldn’t say I’m aggressive, but I’m a pervert. I have a gold Trans Am and my favorite thing to do in the world is to drive around blasting Zeppelin or Sabbath, cat calling dudes. It doesn’t work, but it’s fun.

On her key pick-up method:

I usually do something ridiculous like send him over a shot of whiskey and then spank him. Something like that.

Move over Megan Fox, Ke$ha is the most outspoken celebrity of this year, no doubt!
