Angelina Jolie Turns Attention to Flood Victims...

The UNHCR goodwill ambassador is ready to hit the road again:
Angelina Jolie wants to go to Pakistan, where devastating
floods have affected as many as 20 million people and left
2,000 dead.

"This one is really one that we really have to urgently get
in there and try and do what we can," Angelina, speaking at
the London premiere of her movie Salt. "We'll financially
help, we'll try to figure out which is the best group, we'll
probably do HCR and hope to visit and go when the attention
dies down and maintain the attention. Because it's millions
and millions of people who'll be uprooted fora very, very
long time."

Speaking to reporters on the movie's red carpet, and looking
dazzling in an Amanda Wakeley dress, Angelina turned from the
topic of real roles to reel roles.

Asked about reports that she would play Marilyn Monroe to
George Clooney's Frank Sinatra for a biopic, she told
reporters, "This is a new rumor. It sounds very nice, I
just haven't got the phone call yet! You guys will probably
know before I do!"

Were her companion Brad Pitt to have his way, however, she'd
continue with action roles. "Brad met me doing stunts,"
Angelina said, referring to their work together in 2005's Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. "He likes that side of me."

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-

This actress wishes there were no laws against stripping off
in public, because a nude photoshoot on a beach in Mexico was
one of the most liberating experiences of her life...

It's Halle Berry...

The "Monster's Ball" star once ran down the beach naked in
the holiday resort of Cabo San Lucas for a photoshoot, and
she admits she would jump at the chance to repeat the daring
challenge if she could escape unpunished.

She says, "I could not have been happier in my life (during
the Mexican photoshoot).

"If the world wouldn't persecute me, I'd take nude pictures
every day of the week."

Halle is no stranger to disrobing on camera. She appeared
nude in the 1999 biopic "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" and
went topless for 2001 action film "Swordfish."

She also showed some skin in prison drama "Monster's Ball"
(2001) during a sex scene with co-star Billy Bob Thornton,
a role which won her the Best Actress Oscar in 2002.
