| Angeline Jolie and Megan Fox Fighting for the Same Movie Part - Softpedia Posted: 10 Sep 2009 07:50 AM PDT The competition between Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox, until now played out only in the media, is about to take a more serious turn. Both actresses, it seems, are competing for the same movie part and Jolie is reportedly very worried that the much younger and, to some extent, with more media appeal, Fox will eventually get it, Splash News says, citing reliable insiders. "Angelina Jolie is reportedly battling it out for the lead role in the 'Barbarella' remake with her younger lookalike Megan Fox. 34-year-old Angie can't help but be compared to 23-year-old Fox as two share the same pout, penchant for tattoos and long dark hair. Previously, it had been reported that Megan would be taking over for Angie in a 'Tomb Raider' prequel... as the role required a younger looking character." Splash writes of the ongoing negotiations for the remake of the film on the popular comic book. However, it's not just that the two are gunning for the same part that's the problem, insiders well familiar with the production tell Splash. Apparently, word in the industry has it that Angelina is actually concerned that Fox might sweep in and take her part, which would, of course, mean that the former should start accepting the reality of the fact that she's growing old and directors would rather work with a younger actress, such as Fox, over herself. "This will be the first time Ange and Megan have ever faced off for the same role. Ange is really feeling the pressure. Megan is stunning and fast becoming a huge star. Angelina is petrified... Ange knows that to win roles she has to look youthful." the unnamed spy says for the paparazzi and news agency. However, as Splash too points out, if the producers behind "Barbarella" are set on placing more emphasis on talent than good looks, then chances are high they will actually pick Jolie for the part, since Megan still lacks experience. As of now, no comment from either actress has been released, so it's still very likely this is nothing but a rumor with no grounds. Nevertheless, make sure you keep an eye on this space for more details, as some are bound to surface in the following days.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Katherine Heigl Adopting Korean Girl - ABC News Posted: 10 Sep 2009 08:18 AM PDT Katherine Heigl is about to become the latest celebrity to adopt a child from another country, joining Madonna and Angelina Jolie. Heigl announced on the Ellen DeGeneres show, in an episode scheduled to air tomorrow, that she and husband musician Josh Kelley are adopting a special needs child from Korea. "It is a little girl, and she'll be 10 months at the end this month," Heigl told DeGeneres, according to People magazine. "She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life." Heigl's sister Meg was also was adopted from Korea, according to People. "Her name is Naleigh," Heigl said. "I am naming her after my mother and sister Nancy, Leigh. So we call her Naleigh." She said her new daughter will be coming "real soon." "I wanted to tell everybody so you don't think I stole a Korean baby," she said, laughing. RadarOnline, which first broke the news of Heigl's impending adoption, said it had been in the works for about six months. Heigl and Kelley were married in December 2007. But the idea of adopting was planted long ago. The "Grey's Anatomy" star told USA Today two years ago that it was "always planned." "I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children," Heigl told the newspaper. Heigl joins other well-known celebrities who have adopted transracially and overseas. Recently, Madonna fought the Malawai government and won the right to adopt 4-year-old Mercy. Two years earlier, she adopted a boy from Malawai, David Banda, now 3, with ex-husband Guy Richie. But Madonna was widely criticized the second time around for adopting overseas when there are an estimated half-million children in foster care in the United States. Not everyone's a critic, however. Adoption advocates say that the need to place children in good homes knows no borders. "I think that this construct of one child versus another is really unhealthy," Adam Pertman, executive director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, a research and advocacy group, told ABCNews.com. "They both need homes. How can we put one kid against another?" "On the positive side -- and I think it's mainly positive -- maybe they can help normalize this process," Pertman said about transracial adoptions. "If Angelina Jolie and Steven Spielberg and Hugh Jackman did it, it must be OK. And that normalization is good for kids."
"The big negative is this notion of adoption as baby buying and something only people of privilege get to do, that Madonna stepped to the front of the line, and how is Angelina going to raise all these children," he said. "It's this notion of children as trophies. And it's just not true. There is no evidence she's doing anything illegal or unethical. She's simply getting more attention." But the attention that's paid to celebrities who adopt transracially diverts attention from the real story facing African-American children and adoption, experts say. There was a small increase in transracial adoptions from 17.2 percent in 1996 to 20.1 percent in 2003, according to a study by the Donaldson Institute. The study found that African-American children are still disproportionately represented in foster care and remain less likely than children of other racial and ethnic groups to be adopted in a timely fashion. While black children accounted for 15 percent of America's child population, they represented 32 percent of the 510,000 children in foster care in 2006. In many cases, black children, particularly older ones in foster care, are still viewed as "special-needs" children because they can be more difficult to place with parents, white or black. As a result, some adoption agencies will subsidize the adoption costs, through state or other funding, to make transracial adoptions less expensive for prospective parents, according to Joan Jaeger, outreach and communications coordinator for the Cradle, an agency outside Chicago that specializes in transracial adoption. It can mean the difference between $13,000 for a black baby and $29,000 for a white one, Jaeger said.

| Angelina Jolie vs. Megan Fox for Movie Role - National Ledger Posted: 09 Sep 2009 04:12 PM PDT Actress Angelina Jolie is battling with Megan Fox for a role in the new remake of Barbarella. Jolie, 34, is reportedly feeling under threat from the 23-year-old. The pair both want to star in the remake of the 1968 film and are both auditioning for the lead role. A source revealed: "This will be the first time Ange and Megan have ever faced off for the same role. "Ange is really feeling the pressure. Ange knows that to win roles she has to look youthful." The insider added: "Megan is stunning and fast becoming a huge star. Angelina is petrified." More Movies...Actress Kate Beckinsale (pictured) was freezing on the set of her new movie Whiteout. The Brit wasn't prepared for how cold she would get on the set of her new film in Manitoba and Winnipeg. Beckinsale was left voiceless one day when she first went out in the icy temperatures. The star said: "There are so many possible ways to die there of being too cold - like if you've ever had an alcoholic drink and you breathe in a westerly direction, you're gonna die! We all panicked. "When we first went outside, all the men had beards full of ice, which I thought was make-up department tests - but it wasn't; it was real. The 36-year-old added: "My hair froze to a point just from breathing on it. I thought, 'I'm from England and I'll be able to handle the cold,' but I've never known anything like that. The first day, I wasn't able to speak because my whole throat closed from that first breath." Despite this, Kate still found some benefits of the cold weather. She said: "In cold weather, they have great things inside to do, so I went to museums and children's theater places with my daughter, who was there for the whole thing. Outside, they had a frozen park, which was one of the greatest things I'd ever done."
