Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are massive fans of British comedy series 'The Thick of It' and praised star Peter Capaldi for his role as spin doctor Malcolm Tucker.Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are massive fans of 'The Thick of It'.The Hollywood couple spent a whole weekend watching back-to-back episodes of the comedy series, which is a satire of the workings of British government, and after having both worked with the show's star actor Peter Capaldi they praised him for his performance as spin doctor Malcolm Tucker.Speaking after receiving his award for Best TV Comedy Actor at the British Comedy Awards in London on Wednesday (12.12.12) Peter, 54, told The Sun newspaper: ''Brad said someone had given them the box set. They'd spend the weekend learning to swear.''I didn't need to teach them anything new, as they had watched Malcolm Tucker already. But I was happy to give them a few partners.'' Brad, 48, has been shooting upcoming film 'World War Z' with Peter, while 37-year-old Angelina appeared in 'Maleficent' with him.Angelina recently revealed she plans to give up acting when her children get older.The 'Salt' actress - who raises kids, Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with fiance Brad - says once all her brood hit their teenage years she is going to stop making movies so she can spend more time with them.She said: ''I think I'm going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, too much to manage at home ... I will do some films and I am so fortunate to have the job, it's a really lucky profession to be a part of and I enjoy it.''But if it went away tomorrow I would be very happy to be home with the children. I wake up in the morning as a mum and I turn on the news like everybody else and I see what's happening and I want to be part of the world in a positive way.''

Angelina Jolie Getting “Extreme Plastic Surgery Makeover” Before Wedding?

“Bride-to-be Angelina Jolie plans to undergo an extreme plastic surgery makeover before she weds Brad Pitt!” announces the National Enquirer.According to the tab’s “sources,” the actress “desperately wants a head-to-toe overhaul, and an expert estimates it could cost her a cool $45,000.”“Angelina believes she looks old and she’s tired of it,” explains an “insider” for the Enquirer.What’s supposedly making Jolie upset? “She’s freaking out over the frown lines on her forehead, her jowls and a few pockets of fat that she’s spotted on her tummy, butt and thighs,” says the tab’s source. “But this isn’t really about weight. Angie’s main worry is that her body is starting to sag, which she absolutely hates.” Starting to “sag”?That’s interesting, because the Enquirer claimed Jolie had “shriveled to 95 pounds” just a couple months ago.It’s almost as though the magazine just kind of prints whatever its “sources” say, no matter how contradictory or ridiculous.In any case, the new story’s source insists Jolie “can’t live with the idea of walking down the aisle with wrinkles and lumps, so she’s determined to get all the treatments she needs before the big day.”(Quick reminder: The Enquirer falsely reported that Jolie and Pitt were getting married in a “secret wedding” in the Bahamas last spring. So we’re not sure which “big day” the magazine is taking about now.) The magazine’s misguided insider says Jolie has “consulted cosmetic surgeons in Europe about various touch-ups and high-end laser treatments,” and is also supposedly looking into “liposuction” and Botox injections.
Then the Enquirer trots out some random doctor who’s never treated the actress to put a hefty price tag on Jolie’s alleged surgical plans.“Angelina believes she can look as youthful as she did in her Lara Croft days for her wedding,” relays the mag’s source. “And she’s willing to spend whatever it takes to achieve that.”And the Enquirer is willing to write whatever it takes to create the illusion of a scoop.There is NO TRUTH whatsoever to the “extreme plastic surgery” claim, which is not surprising, given the tabloid’s track record with Jolie.A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the report is “totally false.”

Angelina Jolie's 'Salt' Sequel Hiring 'Prince of Tides' Writer

Becky Johnston is in negotiations to work on the follow-up to the 2010 spy movie for Columbia Pictures. Columbia Pictures is still working to put Salt back on the table.In a move signaling continued interest in a sequel to the 2010 Angelina Jolie spy movie, the studio is in negotiations to hire Becky Johnston to work on the script.In the original, Jolie starred as a CIA officer who discovers she is a Russian sleeper cell agent with a mission to assassinate the U.S. president. Salt grossed $293.5 million worldwide, so Columbia in 2011 hired the movie’s credited writer, Kurt Wimmer, to pen a sequel.Earlier this year, however, reports surfaced that Jolie didn’t think his script was up to snuff and had not committed to the project, which is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Sunil Perkash. Johnston's hiring caps off an almost year-long search for a scribe who could reconceive the script with a take that satisfied all parties.UTA-repped Johnston is a left-of-center choice for the project as her most notable credits are the character dramas The Prince of Tides (1991), which starred Barbra Streisand, and Seven Years in Tibet (1997), which starred Jolie’s fiance Brad Pitt.Johnston did work on Wonder Woman as well as Brad Bird’s San Francisco Earthquake project 1906 and has the Colin Firth-Emily Blunt drama Arthur Newman awaiting release next year.

Angelina Jolie wanted to be the leading lady in hit comedy drama Silver Linings Playbook, according to filmmaker David O. Russell.Jennifer Lawrence has been tipped for an Academy Award for her portrayal of promiscuous Tiffany in the movie, but Russell thought the 22-year-old star was too young and he had other "major actresses" in mind, including Jolie.At a screening for TheWrap.com, he explains, "Quite frankly, (Lawrence's audition) was like a formality. I didn't think she was really a contender. We had three very serious contenders (already). We had a lot of major actresses in town interested in the role, from Angelina Jolie to some other big stars, because it's a dimensional role for a young woman. Jennifer we frankly thought was too young."The Hunger Games beauty went on to win the part after auditioning over Internet phone service Skype, while Bradley Cooper was recruited to play her love interest, but Russell admits he considered a number of other A-list stars during the casting process.He adds, "I wrote it with Vince (Vaughn) and Zooey (Deschanel) in mind, because I love Vince's cadences... And then Mark Wahlberg, who I love and made three movies with, there was a moment where he was going to do it. That didn't work out... and it was out of my hands... I originally wrote it for other people."But as Matt Damon very graciously said to me about the Christian Bale role in The Fighter - which he was originally intended to play, 'It just goes to show, the right people play the right role at the right time.'"
