Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie grab a soda and popcorn at the NY premiere of A Mighty Heart on Wednesday night.
Do you think it was buttered? Mmm, buttered popcorn.
Jolie was also spotted leaving the premiere (below) to attend the after-party with Marianne Pearl, whom she portrays in the film. That $26 vintage dress sure got its moneys worth!

I think she's too thin. She's still beautiful though, just would like to see her with 15 extra pounds.

Jolie-watchers want to know: What's that book Angelina was seen carrying Wednesday in New York City?
What Is the What, by Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), is a "fictionalized autobiography" of a real-life Sudanese refugee named Valentino Achak Deng. Jolie actually makes a cameo in the story, as Deng recounts his immigration to the United States and his encounter with the actress.
"Ms. Jolie walked in, accompanied by a grey-haired man in a baseball cap," Deng says in chapter 13. "The two of them sat on a couch ... I had no idea who she was; I was told she was an actress of some kind, and when I met her, she did look like an actress she had the same careful poise, the same flirtatious eye of Miss Gladys, my extremely attractive drama teacher in Kakuma, and so I liked her immediately."
The book's topic is close to Jolie's heart: In March, she and Brad Pitt donated $100,000 to help build a medical facility in the Sudan, and Pitt executive produced the documentary God Grew Tired of Us, about the young refugees known as the Lost Boys of the Sudan.

Angelina Jolie Dubbed 'Mighty Hypocrite' By Fox News

Angelina Jolie has been dubbed "a mighty hypocrite" by Fox News reporter Roger Friedman. Friedman wrote that Angelina Jolie had her lawyer"require all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her." Friedman correctly points out that Jolie's film "A Mighty Heart" champions freedom of press, and the Wednesday premiere of the film supported a
Friedman dishes: 'Ironically, Wednesday night's premiere of the excellent Michael Winterbottom-directed film was meant to support an organization called Reporters Without Borders. Jolie, however, did everything she could to clamp down on the press and control it.'
However, as Friedman reported, Angelina true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews."

Angelina Jolie, 32, appeared on Larry King Live this evening, and although the show focused mostly on her new film A Mighty Heart, Angelina did speak a bit about her children, media attention, and rumors. Here are the highlights:
On Shiloh's name: You name a baby and you hear from across the world that it means...apparently it's a lot of things. There are a lot of songs, there is [a movie]. It was just, for different reasons, a name we love.
On if she brought home Mariane Pearl's French-Cuban accent: [laughs] No, I think my kids would have found that really weird. Mad always found it really funny that I looked like Adam's mom. That's all he kept saying -- that he thought I was goofy that I kept dressing up like Adam's mom and that that was my job. It was just weird.
On switching off work schedules with Brad: When one of us is working, the other one is with the kids. You know, when we shot A Mighty Heart, he was figuring out fun things to do in India with the children. It can be challenging, but it's fun. It's always harder and more fun to be home with the kids.
On Pax's name: My mom wrote a list of names when we were going to have Shiloh. And one of the names that she suggested was Pax because it meant peace. He's anything but at the moment. [laughs]
On Pax's behavior: It took us about a year [to get through the adoption process]. He's wild. He's beautiful and wild. You know, he had no freedoms for three-and-a-half years. He had lived in the same place in the same cot along with 20 other cots and did things at the exact same time and had no chance to have an opinion himself. He lived a very structured, structured life. And now he has a lot of freedoms. And so he is a very good boy, but he's also suddenly very free.
On adoption: I consider it an honor to have these children in my home -- they're a joy.
On traveling: My family comes with me to these places and there's no greater thing than I can teach my children than for them to see that side of my life and that side of the world. It's very important. And we all stay together.
On her candidness: The only things I've ever tried to control are [that] I've tried to have some privacy with my family...[like] I don't want to say whether or not I'm pregnant right now...I am very open. I just...have tried to...protect my family, and to try to have some [privacy] about things that I think are my right, because it's my family and my kids and my pregnancy, or my whatever it might be.
Media attention on the family: It's just one of those things that's best not to think about too much. And I hope, as our children grow up, that we will be less and less in the public eye, and they will have less and less that they will have to live with as they become impressionable adults. And they won't see too much of it. Hopefully we can fade away as those years approach.
But, you know, they went to a museum the other day, and [Brad and I] weren't there. We were working and found that they were followed. Especially when we're not there, it seems that [there's] something wrong with that.
On how she and Brad want to raise the kids: We talk...often with how we're going to raise our children. And we want to make sure that we raise them to have as much respect for, and as much comfort in, the village with no video games and no comfortable beds and sheets and fancy this or that, and that they have just as much fun, and just as much respect for those people as they do for somebody in a big city with all these other interesting things.
And fortunately, we have discovered that with all the traveling our children do and all the different places we all spend time in that we do have that balance, that they don't see it as different, unusual or less than to be in another country. They see it as different and wonderful things.
We're trying to instill compassion and understanding and tolerance. And hopefully they will have that by looking at each other as they grow up, and learning about each other's countries and just being a family. But also, we don't want them to be spoiled and we don't want them to be attached to things. And we don't want them to be attached -- or take fame seriously, or anything like that. We want them to be good people, like all parents.
