Angelina Jolie gives a sweet hug to her Unbroken inspiration Louis Zamperini as they sit down for a pre-taped interview on the Today show, which aired today (February 25).“I imagine that for the last 10-something years, he has been sitting there having a coffee in the morning and wondering who’s going to make this movie,” the 38-year-old actress and director said about World War II hero Louis. “And I’ve been sitting in my room laying there thinking, ‘What am I supposed to be doing with my life? I wanna do something important. I need some help. I need some guidance. Where is it?’ And it was right outside my window.” “(The world) can seem hopeless and it can seem very overwhelming,” Angelina added. “But the resilience and the strength of the human spirit is an extraordinary thing.”

Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie toured on Sunday areas hosting Syrian refugees in Lebanon’s Bekaa province as part of her role as a special envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). But away from paparazzi, Jolie’s visit barely received any media coverage due to pressure from security personnel, local reports said. Jolie arrived in Lebanon late on Saturday and stayed in Zahle, a town in the Bekaa region near the border with Syria. It hosts some 300,000 Syrian refugees. Joelle Eid, UNCHR’s spokeswoman in Lebanon, told Anadolu Agency that Jolie will be visiting Syrian families on Sunday but will not hold any press conferences. During the visit, Lebanese security personnel prevented reporters from following the Hollywood actress or taking pictures of her, according to the Lebanese newspaper Annahar. Jolie was seen wearing a scarf that covered her face, the newspaper said. In April 2012, the UNHCR promoted Jolie from serving as its goodwill ambassador to special envoy due to her work for the agency. The Hollywood actress has previously visited Jordan’s Zaatari camp, which holds more than 185,000 Syrian refugees.

Angelina Jolie won fashion plaudits when she took to the BAFTA red carpet on Sunday wearing a tuxedo. The 38-year-old actress looked stunning in the tailored suit and white shirt so it was only a matter of time before others tried to imitate her. However, Kelly Osbourne's attempt at RuPaul's Drag Race season six premiere party held at Beacher's Madhouse was lacking with the Fashion Police star's buttoned up suit and bow tie, looking too stuffy and formal compared to Jolie's relaxed elegance. Angelina and her fiancé Brad Pitt opted for matching black suits as they attended the BAFTAs, with only an unbuttoned collar distinguishing the stunning actress from her heartthrob partner. Jolie locked arms with the handsome 50-year-old, part of the cast of BAFTAs Best Film 12 Years A Slave, while sporting an open-buttoned collar and loose bow tie as they joined a star-studded crowd at London's Royal Opera House. She left her long hair loose around her shoulders to balance out her masculine look. While 29-year-old Kelly's more formal take on the outfit, consisting of a buttoned up jacket, white buttoned up shirt and bow tie, was flattering and cute, it could not compare to Jolie. She slicked back her purple locks and as with Angelina, finished off the look with black heels. Kelly caught up with America's Next Top Model star Miss J while the main man RuPaul was quite conservative in a light coloured suit. Meanwhile, although season six hasn't even started, the green light for season seven is already flashing for the reality TV show. It was officially announced on Monday that RuPaul's Drag Race has been renewed yet again, with a casting call already open for interested contestants. The hit series has continually been Logo TV's most popular output, with 53-year-old drag queen, actor and hosting extraordinaire RuPaul searching for 'America's next drag superstar. In a statement, the cable network's president of programming elaborated on the success of the popular contest show. 'RuPaul’s Drag Race continues to be a perennial fan favorite that has slowly become a pop culture phenomenon attracting a wide-range of viewers,' revealed Pamela Post. RuPaul is not only the host but also an executive producer, and clearly could not have been more thrilled with the news, saying in a statement: 'A new album, a season premiere and the official greenlight for Season 7…all in the same week!? I’m so verklemplt I could plotz.'
