 There’s no doubt that meeting Angelina Jolie can be nerve-wracking – but her Wanted costars say the superstar mom is incredibly down-to-earth.
“It’s a little intimidating, someone like her who is presented as a goddess. [But] it takes, like, 30 seconds and you figure out she’s just a cool woman,” Wanted actor Thomas Kretschmann said at the film’s press day Monday.
The German actor, who plays an assassin in the action flick out June 27, also described Jolie as “a cool mommy.”
Kretschmann’s kids and the Jolie-Pitt youngsters “played together from time to time” on set, he said. “She knows exactly what she wants and she’s extremely smart.”
But Jolie isn’t the only “cool” person in her household. Costar Common calls Brad Pitt “a good dude.”
“We hung out and he was a cool cat,” said the rapper-turned-actor.
And Jolie? “She’s an incredible mother, a beautiful mother,” Common said. “She has so much realness to her.”

Billy Ray Cyrus should be interviewed all day every day. The country star and father of Miley Cyrus (better known as Hannah Montana) stopped by The Today Show this morning to talk about the scandal involving a topless photo of Miley that appeared in Vanity Fair. Check out these awesome answers that run the hilarious gamut of poop and turkey necks:
On why he stayed quiet about Miley's photos:
"My dad always told me the more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks."
On the advice Kris Kristofferson gave him:
"And I remember Kris Kristofferson stopped me backstage at one of my shows and said, ‘Listen, hoss, always remember: The turkey with the longest neck’s always going to be the one everyone’s shootin’ at’.”
On the supposedly suggestive father-daughter photo:
"That’s just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot. If a daddy hasn’t hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does.”
On his excuse for leaving the shoot early and not seeing the topless photo:
"I had a show to do, and an obligation, to go to Washington state ... playing for the troops just back from Iraq."
Billy Ray also added: "Yeah, the troops... and a group of scientists who needed me to play my gee-tar to cure cancer. Yeah. Dang gum diddily, I reckon all that stuff." Wait a minute, he done served us a cowpie!

PETA has taken umbrage with Jessica Simpson's T-shirt proclaiming "Real Girls Love Meat." They decided to seek the moral high ground and respond with a list of five reasons "Why only stupid girls brag about eating meat." Sciencey! Here's my personal favorite gem:
4. Meat will make you fat. All the saturated fat and cholesterol in chicken wings, pork chops, and steak eventually leads to flabby thighs and love handles. I hope the upcoming "Jessica Simpson's Intimates" line comes in plus sizes! Going vegetarian is the best way to get slim and stay that way.
Jesus! "Eating meat will make you fat." How superficial. (Ha ha! The name of this site.) But, seriously, PETA left out these other pitfalls of being a carnivore that warrant your attention. What can I say? I'm a helper:
1. Meat will cause the Lifetime channel to go off the air. Or, at the very least, cancel Army Wives.
2. Feeding your husband meat will lead him straight into the arms of another woman. Who's totally that chick at your work who you'd be friends with if only she didn't have the same purse. Bitch.
3. AIDS: It's what for dinner - if you eat meat.

Britney Spears filmed a cameo for the new Pussycat Dolls video "When I Grow Up," but her part was quietly axed before the debut over the weekend. To be honest, I'm not really sure why Britney was included in the first place. The video showcases the Dolls' peak physical fitness, proficient choreography and ability to respond to verbal interaction. So basically everything that Britney Spears is not. Unless choreography is code for "I love Wendy's Baconator."

 Keeping heroically fit doesn’t come easily to Ali Larter – despite some noticeable physical advantages.
“When I’m in really good shape, I like my butt. It’s juicy – that’s what my fiancé says,” the Heroes actress, 32, referring to actor Hayes MacArthur, tells Allure for its July issue.
“I’m an indulger, but then I have to be good,” Larter says over a large lunch of dumplings, scallops with ravioli and a burger with salad, fries, ketchup and mayo. “I’m also going to get my butt out and go for a run tomorrow.”
Once, before a photo shoot, her thighs needed to be duct-taped on account of “they were a little too round,” she recalls. On another occasion, while on a movie, she packed on some pounds – and that’s when being unfit really hit the fan.
“The faxes went out from the producers and the director to my agents to my manager to call me and ask me to lose weight,” she says. “I just remember sitting in my trailer hysterically crying from the embarrassment I felt about myself, my body – and that no one could talk to me directly.”
But she realizes that it was nothing personal – only business. “This is what I signed up for,” she admits. “What I do for a living puts me in the spotlight. They pay me for it.”

Katherine Heigl slipped off to Mexico this weekend with her husband Josh Kelley. When I initially found out there were bikini pics of Katherine, I expected some sexy awesomeness. What I got instead is akin to seeing my arthritic grandma lumber across the dunes of Tatooine. Anyone who got that joke, I just want you to know not all girls look like this. Keep trying to make contact and, eventually, one of them will touch your lightsaber. Statistics is on your side!
NOTE: The Geekologie Writer is on record saying he'd hit it. I informed him we were talking about Katherine Heigl and not my grandmother. He has since retracted his statement. Not sure what he did with all that prune juice though.

 Scott Baio went from confirmed bachelor to doting dad last November when his daughter Bailey DeLuca was born, saying, “I’ve loved my life. My life has been great, but this [fatherhood] makes it.”
Then, just one day after his baby girl came home from the hospital, Baio, 47, and his then-fiancée Renee Sloan, 39, were hit with shocking news – Bailey had tested positive for a potentially fatal disorder, according to the couple’s account on Celebrity Baby Blog.
“[I could] hear it in her voice,” Renee said of a call from the pediatrician for them to bring Bailey to the hospital for more tests. After some tests showed the premature baby might have GA-1, a metabolic disorder that can cause seizures and leads to coma and even death, the couple were torn apart with worry. “It was the worst time in my life,” Baio admitted.
“Every breath that you take, every thought that you have, every moment that you’re conscious, it’s all you’re thinking about,” Baio told CBB. “The disease is a constant in your brain. It never leaves you.”
The couple married in December, showing no signs that Bailey, who was at the ceremony, might be sick. But, “every time [Scott] would see a child, see a baby, he would just break down,” said Renee. “It was so tough to go through the holidays, our wedding … all the while knowing, our kid may die.”
Testing took 10 weeks, and when doctors told the couple Bailey was completely healthy and in the clear – the result had been a false positive – “we jumped through the ceiling,” Baio said.
Now 7-months old, Bailey is healthy but her parents have a thankful outlook and want to use their experience to help others.
“In a way I’m glad I went through it. Because this sort of thing puts everything else in perspective,” Baio said, adding of the foundation they are establishing, “We know we need to be a voice here, and that’s what we’re trying to do.

Kevin Federline was dubbed "Father of the Year" yesterday at Club Prive in Las Vegas. Kevin reportedly showed up two hours late for the honor then requested the award ceremony be private so clubgoers couldn't see it. (Having kids is nature's own cockblock. Google it.) Us Magazine reports:
"I'm surprised," Federline said when asked how it felt to win the title.
Federline, 30, hit up the club with a group of male pals — including divorce attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan — just before 1 a.m. Saturday morning.
Maxim model Tami Donaldson (above) also showed up for the festivities to provide the obligatory side boob: a staple of any good Fathers Day. Which is why every year I send my dad a stripper-gram. Sure, he's got high blood pressure, and mom threatened to shoot the next one, but it's one day out of the year when I can say "I love you, dad" the only way I know how. Is that so wrong? Or worth pressing charges?
UPDATE: I'm out of the will, and the stripper-gram company says I owe them a red-head before five. He got my letter! *sigh*

 Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are taking their relationship in a new direction – south of the border.
Last Friday, the couple – who first stepped out in public in April – headed for a little R&R at Casa Aramara, the sprawling beachfront home of Girls Gone Wild mogul Joe Francis, in Punta Mita, Mexico.
The house is a hot spot for celebs: Demi Moore celebrated her 45th birthday there in November, and Aniston has visited the pad with former beau (and costar) Vince Vaughn and platonic pal Orlando Bloom.
This time around, the couple and a group of friends spent the weekend lounging on the house’s beachfront patio, enjoying their Mexican getaway.
“Jen spent time laying out on the loungers on the patio. John was always around, standing by her, making sure she was comfortable,” says an onlooker.
Before departing for Mexico, Aniston and Mayer were also spotted discreetly holding hands June 12 while double dating with Aniston’s BFF and former Friends costar Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette.

Amy Winehouse collapsed in her home today while "doing admin" (Read: A high-top sneaker stuffed with blow.) when she suffered a fainting spell and was caught by her assistant. She quickly recovered and is resting at a private hospital for precautionary measures, according to BBC News:
Her manager's assistant was able to stop her falling and Winehouse's father, Mitch, escorted her to hospital "as a precaution", the spokesman said.
Doctors are unsure as to the cause of the incident and the star may be kept in hospital overnight for observation.
The 24-year-old had been signing autographs for Canadian fans who had been waiting outside her house all day, her spokesman said.
"Doctors are unsure as to the cause of the incident." Really? Because I'm pretty sure it was a shitload of drugs. I don't have a Ph.D., but I think I've got this one figured out. So how bout letting me give surgery a crack? True, I've got really shaky hands from drinking too much coffee, but I don't think that should stop us. Wait, hold on, I'm blacking out from the narcolepsy. .... And we're back. Scalpel!
NOTE: The above pic is Amy waiting for the ambulance to show up while her Canadian fan screams with joy and, I'll assume, debilitating alcoholism.
