Angelina Jolie made a surprise appearance at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala last night.
Angelina was there to pay tribute to Clint Eastwood and present him the award. While accepting his award, Eastwood said,
“Working with someone like Angelina Jolie is a great privilege, because you get to look on that gorgeous beauty every day. And she’s a great talent.”
That’s the same line he’s been giving in every interview about his upcoming movie, The Changling — Brad had better keep her in check.

On a cold day last December, an actor playing a part against Angelina Jolie leaned over and kissed her. The only trouble was, it wasn’t in the script.
“I try to be selective with my improvising,” said Jason Butler Harner, who is her co-star in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming “Changeling.” So he checked with the director first. “Clint approved,” he said. “He could see it happening and he said, ‘Do it and we’ll see what happens.’”
That Clint sure is a sneaky one.
Jolie was supposed to be pushing Harner against a wall. It was the movie’s climatic scene, and her character, Christine Collins, was supposed to be confronting his character, Gordon Stewart Northcott, and asking him, “Did you kill my son?” (The film is based on a true story; in the 1920s, Collins’ son was abducted, and another boy was “returned” to her instead. When she insisted that the second boy was not her son, she was deemed hysterical, when actually it was a case of LAPD corruption).
“I had talked to her at the beginning of the day,” Harner said. “We had a big scene, and we’re supposed to be coming out of our corners, so it was a ‘How do we do this?’”
Nowhere in that talk did he mention he was planning to lay one on her, however. But Eastwood approved because he likes to shoot and use things that actors don’t expect — a scene they might well believe is just a rehearsal, for instance. So for the big climax being shot the last week of a 35-day shoot, he wanted Jolie to be caught off guard — and she was.
“She slapped me and she held me and she hit me and it was great,” Harner said. “She totally went with it. She’s really smart. She’s beautiful, but she’s really smart, and she’s a great actress.”
“That guy invited the parents of the kids he killed to come the day before he was executed,” Harner said, “so he could tell them where the bodies were, or how he did it. But when they got there, he said, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ He was demented and deserved a lot of things [to be done to him]. Including a slap, at the very least.”
She just increased in “sexual fantasy” ratings with men.
