Angelina ’in dress row’ - Jan 16 2007
Angelina Jolie is apparently kicking up a fuss over her Golden Globes dress, despite signing an exclusive contract with designer St John to wear their gear on all the red carpets she attends.

Women’s Wear Daily reports that the actress has been "less than ecstatic with the clothes as of late" and that the team behind her clothes "has been working overtime to make her happy".

Other sources report that while the star often appears to care less about all things image-wise, she is in fact "very particular" and it is not at all surprising "she is making them tweak things".

The glamourpuss will still make the stroll down the carpet at the event, although she could be in one of two dresses - which of which is grey and the other her trademark black.

Mrs Brad Pitt signed a lucrative deal with St John that has given them a ton of publicity, but if they are keen to make sure that she re-signs, with all the competition that is out there, they would do best to please.

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions. Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes. At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself. Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.

Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father. She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.

Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom.
