Angelina tops sexiest film star poll - Dec 6 2007
Angelina Jolie has been crowned as the nation's sexiest movie star, according to a survey by Empireonline.com.

More than 20,000 people voted via Empire magazine's website to rank their 100 film favourites.

V For Vendetta and Star Wars vixen Natalie Portman narrowly missed out on the top spot but still managed to beat Daniel Craig by taking second place.

However, the 007 star not only heads up the British contingent in the list, but he's also the highest ranking male, ahead of Johnny Depp at number five and Brad Pitt at number seven.

And the Martini drinker isn't the only one flying the British flag - it would appear that the UK has no shortage of screen sirens. Keira Knightley came ninth, as the highest ranking British female, and her Atonement co-star James McAvoy made an appearance at 27.

The British sex appeal continued with showings from Kate Winslet (20), Orlando Bloom (21) and Clive Owen (25).

It seems some stars still live on in our hearts and minds. Marilyn Monroe, in at 14, still has the extra factor, even though the starlet passed away more than 40 years ago, and the late Marlon Brando, Clarke Gable and Rita Hayworth also made appearances at numbers 30, 51 and 59 respectively.

More babies for Angelina - Nov 15 2007
She already has four children, but Angelina Jolie fully intends to add to her brood - as soon as possible.

"I know I’m not even halfway there, it’s terrible!" the Beowulf star told Extra. "I’m working on it."

When asked if that meant a biological child or an adopted one, she said, "Both. We got time. We’ll do both."

Angelina also revealed the secret to the success of Brangelina as a couple - a shared view on the world.

"It’s the only way we can have the family that we have," she said. "I’ve had different relationships and the only way we are able to have such a strong family is that we have the same view of the world and the same views of what families should be. I’m very very lucky."

Angelina also discussed her role in Beowulf, directed by Robert Zemeckis, in which she plays monster Grendel’s mother.

"I didn’t know how realistic it was going to look so I did get embarrassed the first time I saw it," she confessed. "I was three months pregnant! It’s so much fun and if you’re ever going to do something wild and be painted in gold and half lizard and half naked, you do it with Bob Zemeckis. I had my maternal instincts before I was pregnant but it was a fun coincidence that it ended up being right at the same time."


Brangelina dazzle fans at premiere - Nov 12 2007
Angelina Jolie took partner Brad Pitt as her date for the premiere of new movie Beowulf.

The Hollywood pair chatted to fans and signed autographs in London’s Leicester Square.

Jolie’s black leather trousers and tight sweater highlighted her slender frame, which has been the subject of much speculation in recent months.

Her figure is a far cry from the curvaceous character she plays in Beowulf, an adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon epic.

The film has been made using the latest motion capture technology - the same as that used to create Gollum in Lord of the Rings - and the actors have been digitally enhanced.
