Angelina Jolie took her two oldest daughters, Zahara and Shiloh, out for a quick toy stop in London yesterday afternoon.

The 36 year-old actress brought the girls to The Toy Station in the Richmond area of London where the Jolie-Pitt family is residing while Brad Pitt films the zombie flick World War Z.

Shop owner Karen Khatachik said the family brought a number of items including toys and play kits for their siblings Maddox, Pax, Vivienne and Knox.

“They liked the stickers and the Play-Doh and they were saying, ‘Mom, look at this — it’s really cool!’ ” told OK magazine. “She was asking them if the other children who weren’t with her would like different things she had chosen. She showed them craft-making sets and asked, ‘Would they like that?’”

“They bought make-your-own soaps, make-your-own bracelets and Scratch Art,” Karen said. “It’s a blackboard and it’s done in a design with a gold foil underneath and you scratch it off and the image appears.”

The store was closed to other customers at the time so they could browse privately.

The family will be on the move again as Pitt’s film goes to Glasgow to film.

Hollywood is a long way away from Bosnia but Angelina Jolie has made quite an impact on the country.

The 36 year-old actress was feted on closing night of the Sarajevo Film Festival with the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award for her directorial debut, In The Land of Milk and Honey.

Jolie was visibly moved at the very welcome reception she received and said she told her partner, Brad Pitt, “in the car I was afraid I was going to cry.”

The movie tells the story of a Muslim woman and Serb man who fell in love priory to the Bosnian war and found themselves on opposite sides as the conflict continued.

The first-time helmer did see controversy when she began filming in Bosnia. Objections were raised by survivors of sexual violence during the war and Jolie moved filming to Budapest after a cancelled permit by officials.

The problems haven’t deterred Jolie’s commitment to the film or to supporting the festival as it grows.

“I am so honoured to be here at this festival,” Jolie said. “There is no greater example of the strengths of the artists and the festival that began during the war and grew stronger every year.”

When she first traveled to Cambodia several years ago, Angelina Jolie had no idea how much the country would come to mean to her.

She explains her love for the country and it’s personal significance while in the Siem Reap province as cameras roll in her new mini-film for Louis Vuitton’s Core Values advertising.

The 36 year-old actress shared her memories of seeing the country for the first time when she was an actress on the Tomb Raider set and later as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador.

Jolie describes how she was unaware that live landmines still dotted the countryside and that the extreme poverty but the beauty of the country and the people captured her heart.

The actress goes on to share how she met and decided to adopt her son Maddox and that he and younger brother Pax have developed a taste for snacking on crickets.

The 10 minute ad is cut between Jolie’s personal recollections and the gorgeous cinematography of the quiet landscape and people of Cambodia.

Two busy moms with active (and profitable) movie careers, Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker have one other thing in common. Forbes magazine lists both actresses as tied for first place in the mag’s annual Highest Paid Actresses list.

Jolie, 36, and Parker, 46, are estimated to have raked in $30 million between May 2010 and May 2011 to earn the top position.

Jolie’s movie roles in Salt and The Tourist were her most notable works during that time as well as the Kung Fu Panda 2 opening and she filmed her directorial debut In The Land of Milk and Honey.

Parker gets her cash from a variety of sources, the Sex and The City movie sequel and the residuals and percentages from the TV show (she earns her paychecks as both actress and producer.) SJP’s also got earning power from very successful perfumes and a fashion deal with Halston.

Hot on the trail, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon who took in an estimated $28 million for the same time frame.

Rounding out the top 5 was Julia Roberts at $20 million for last year.

Interesting trend that all top 5 are actresses over 35 and only Jolie and Witherspoon are in their 30s.

Who else made the top 10 cut? Check below. (Read the article)

It was a chance for everyone to have some fun and get some family time in for the international Jolie-Pitt clan.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their children to a water park in Malta for swimming, sunshine and animal encounters at the Mediterraneo Bio Park.

All six kids, Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3 year-old twins Vivienne and Knox joined mom and dad in the pool where, according to the website, families can better “understand more about the marine life and its inhabitants through edutainment.”

Jolie, 36, wore a wet suit for the afternoon in the water with Brad, kids and dolphins and the family hit the gift shop afterwards.

The Jolie-Pitts are in Malta as Brad, 47, finishes up filming on the zombie flick World War Z.

The unveiling of the new Angelina Jolie ad for Louis Vuitton has happened and it is a stunning photo.

The 36 year-old mother of six is barefoot on a wooden boat in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia, where she adopted her oldest son, Maddox from.

The photo is for the luxury goods ‘Core Values’ campaign and famed photographer Annie Leibovitz took the snap after shooing some of Jolie’s four children who accompanied her.

The LVMH execs claim she is make-up free in the ad (that’s some crazy natural smoky eye she’s got going on there…)

“People are not used to seeing Angelina in this situation,” said Pietro Beccari, Vuitton’s executive vice president, unveiling the image exclusively to WWD. “I like the fact that it’s a real moment. This travel message we give through personal journeys is a fundamental one for the brand.”

The handbag Jolie is toting is her own “Alto” carryall that is about six years old and is no longer in production although Beccari told the fashion business publication that the company is considering re-issuing it.

The ad is scheduled to run for 18 months.

There was no comment on the exact amount the humanitarian actress was paid however it was confirmed that a ‘significant’ portion is headed to charity.

Make-up or not – I’m glad that some of that dough is being used for charity.

Angelina Jolie is set to reprise her role for the now confirmed as yet untitled sequel to Salt.

Sony Pictures is moving forward on its much speculated Salt sequel. Kurt Wimmer has begun writing it for Angelina Jolie to reprise her role as Evelyn Salt, the CIA agent who spent the first movie running for her life after being outed as a Russian spy.

Salt wasn’t the best movie I’ve ever seen, but it was a lot better than critics gave it credit for. Jolie was perfect in the role and the first thing I thought when the movie ended was, “I’d watch a sequel”. It’s perfectly set up for one, if the second script is as good as the first I’m sure I’ll enjoy it just as much. I’m glad this project is moving forward, I’ll let you know as more details emerge.

Jolie, was stunning (naturally!) in an all black ensemble from Michael Kors: short-sleeved satin shirt and calf-length skirt with a thigh high slice to highlight her gorgeous gams.

Pitt chose a caramel-colored light cashmere sweater with matching pants to compliment Jolie’s red carpet look.

Angelina Jolie‘s directorial debut finally has an official title. The film will be called In the Land of Blood and Honey and it’s set for release on December 23rd, 2011.

It’s now called: In the Land of Blood and Honey.

Jolie, who wrote and directed the film, had to settle on a name – and fast – when producer Graham King’s distribution arm FilmDistrict announced plans today to release it Dec. 23.

Blood and Honey, which she shot last October in Eastern Europe, focuses on a young Serbian man (played by Goran Kostic) and a Bosnian-Muslim woman (actress Zana Marjanovic) who begin a romance before the ethnic war of 1992 pulls them apart and ravages the former Yugoslavia.

Not exactly high concept blockbuster type stuff here, but it’ll be interesting to see how Jolie fares behind the camera for once. The film stirred up a bit of controversy from Bosnians against the portrayal of their people, but that will only help with publicity in the long run. Apparently the film has received mixed reviews after being shown at Cannes, I wonder how it will do here in the USA.
