Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt

Hollywood Celebrity couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended the British premiere of the movie Beowulf on Sunday in London’s Leicester Square. The Goodwill ambassador, who recently has won ‘Freedom Award’ from the International Rescue Committee due to her efforts to protect the refugees, chatted with fans and posed for pictures.

It’s so, so nice to see all these fans here, it always is. I haven’t been here for a little bit. I lived here for a few years, and I do plan to come back more often. I think it’s remarkable that it has the rating it has. It’s quite an extraordinary film and some of it shocked me.

Denzel W

Two of Hollywood’s most talented actors Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe have combined their efforts for one of the most talked about movies of the year, American Gangsters. The actors showed up at premiere of American Gangster yesterday and spoke a few works with press about about the movie and how it was like to work together again, because Academy Award-winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe first acted opposite each other a dozen years ago in Virtuosity a sci-fi crime thriller set in virtual reality.

American Gangster, directed and produced by Ridley Scott whose credits include “Blade Runner,” “Black Hawk Down” and “Gladiator,” is is based on the real life exploits of Frank Lucas, a Harlem heroin kingpin, and Richie Roberts, the cop who brought him to justice, as originally chronicled in a New York Magazine article by Mark Jacobson entitled “The Return of Superfly.”

It’s not about a heavyweight fight. What it is, is much more like two (guitarists) playing together, two people singing together…. If you can blend, if you can harmonize and you can sing together still from two completely separate points of view, now you are talking.
