Several years ago, Angelina Jolie became the face of St. John clothing and promoted their line for awhile.  This should be really old news, but all of a sudden St. John are running their mouth off about Angelina and basically saying they dumped her for being more of a big deal than their boring clothes designed for Ladies Who Lunch.  From People:

While Angelina Jolie hasn’t appeared in an ad for St. John for some time, the luxury knitwear company is speaking out on the absence of her famous face from their campaign. The label’s chief executive officer Glenn McMahon tells WWD, “[Jolie] overshadowed the brand. We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.” So while other luxury brands have hired the likes of Madonna, Emma Watson, Eva Mendes and others to star in their upcoming spring/summer 2010 campaigns, St. John turned to red-headed model Karen Elson, a decision McMahon sees as a step in the right direction for the brand. “We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John,” he says. “We have evolved.” And according to the label’s website, executive vice president of design for St. John, George Sharp, who also directed the new ads, views Karen as the “epitome of the modern day woman…the St. John woman… strong, confident, sensual and approachable with effortless glamour.”

St. John had a three year contract with Angelina Jolie which began in 2005 and ended in the summer of 2008, so their business relationship has been over and done with for a year and a half and should really have no bearing on whatever the hell the company’s doing now.  It sounds to me like the St. John CEO is either bitter and vengeful or is an attention whore trying to squeeze the last drop of blood from his boring-ass company’s tenuous connection to one of the most famous women in the world.

Besides, the folks at St. John are delusional if they think they have a “modern point of view” or that they’ve “evolved” because while they make relatively nice things, they don’t exactly trend young.  Their stuff is tasteful and conservative, and doesn’t get anywhere near edgy or fashion forward.  My grandmother liked St. John, but she was old and now she’s dead.  Actually, the only people I’ve ever met in real life who wore their clothes were all at least 55 years old, so if St. John had a lick of damn sense they’d get someone like Helen Mirren or Susan Sarandon to advertise their line.

Jennifer Aniston makes the mistake of deeming Angelina Jolie “uncool” in the upcoming issue of Vogue magazine over comments Angie made about her and Brad’s burgeoning relationship in a Vogue interview last year. The NY Daily News says

Jennifer Aniston wishes Angelina Jolie could have just kept her trap shut.

“What Angelina did was very uncool,” Aniston declares. “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” says Aniston about how Jolie gushed about the excitement of seeing her then married “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” co-star Pitt everyday. “I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss.”

Jennifer Aniston calling Angelina Jolie “uncool” is like Strom Thurmond calling Miley Cyrus “old.” And for the record, Strom Thurmond has been fucking dead for five years. You do the math.

Angelina Jolie opens up about her relationship with Brad Pitt for the first time ever in next month’s issue of Vogue magazine. She says,

“Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from…the media. I am just as guilty! We push each other to be better. Even if it’s just a better bike rider or a better pilot. We’re constantly in competition with each other. He’s somebody I admire based on the way he lives his life. And that’s why I’m with him. [He is] the person closest to me.

[We] found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened [on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.] I think a few months in I realized, God, I can’t wait to get to work. Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. Life developed in a way where we could be together, and where it felt like something we would do, we should do.”

That’s just about the most convincingly selfless reason for breaking up a marriage I’ve ever heard. Seriously, Angie missed her calling as a defense attorney. “Your honor, my client has raped, pillaged, and murdered, but he did it in the name of his children! Children plucked from war-torn third-world poverty. And look me in the face when I’m speaking to you. No, I mean directly in the eyes. I said look at me! I’m fucking gorgeous! Could anything other than truth escape these pillowy lips?” And of course the judge would bashfully smile and dismiss the case in the hopes of concealing the massive boner he had under his robe. American justice, baby! You just can’t beat it.
