Angelina Jolie is so larger-than-life, she makes you forget about the products she's paid to endorse: The Oscar-winner was replaced as the face of fashion house St. John, because her presence, according to company CEO Glenn McMahon, "overshadowed the brand."

Next month, the new, Angie-less ads launch in Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, showcasing redhead Karen Elson, instead.

"We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blonds and cleanse the palette," McMahon told Women's Wear Daily. "We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John; we have evolved."

So it looks as if Jolie, 34, will be forced to rely on movie paychecks; her next film, "Salt," hits theaters July 23.

Looks like Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood are more than back together.

The singer proposed to "The Wrestler" star during a gig in Paris on Monday, a source tells People.

Manson, 41, and Wood, 22, reportedly split in 2008 after a two-year relationship, then got back together, then broke up again. In December, Manson confirmed to the magazine Metal Hammer that they were back on.

"Me being me at my best is what I need to be," he told the magazine. "That really paid off because I'm back with Evan."

The reconciliation came as a surprise considering, Manson had just told Spin.com that he had "fantasies every day about smashing (Wood's) skull in with a sledgehammer."

The shock-rocker revealed that after his 2008 breakup with Wood, he called his ex obsessively.

The more reserved Wood, who was linked to co-stars Mickey Rourke ("The Wrestler") and Alexander Skarsgard ("True Blood") during her split from Manson, described the rocker to Elle in 2007.

"(He's) lovely, really human and just amazing," she told the woman's magazine. "It may surprise you just how healthy and loving our relationship is."

Manson has been previously married to brunette burlesque dancer Dita Von

Teese. It will be the first marriage for Wood.

Sources close to the family told TMZ Casey's sisters will also help out.

Tobey Maguire doesn't think "Spider-Man 4" has become a tangled mess.

The 34-year-old star of the web-slinging superhero franchise said preproduction snags aren't dampening his mood about the

fourth installment. The next "Spider-Man" film had been scheduled to swing into theaters May 6, 2011, but that seems unlikely now that "Thor," another big-screen Marvel superhero adaptation, has hammered out the same release date.

"Like anything, it's a process," Maguire said recently.

"We're just in the midst of the process. We have a lot of great stuff in terms of story and script. We're just trying to dial it in and get it ready as quickly as possible. Of course, these movies are a very big undertaking and take a lot more time than a drama or something more straightforward." Marvel Studios spokesman Paul Pflug declined to comment on reports that production had stalled amid script revisions.

Maguire, who has played Peter Parker in all three films, said the plan is to still release the movie in 2011, but wasn't more specific about the date. Whatever happens, he's enthusiastic about Spidey's future.

"Not only do I have specific ideas, but the ideas are evolving on the page," he said. "It's all happening right now. It's all sort of coming together.
