Right on cue
When word came out that Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp were going to be starring in a movie together, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that the tabloids would be having a field day with it.
After all, to much of the Soccer Mom Brigade, Angelina Jolie represents the “other” woman, the beautiful hussy that will use her feminine wiles to lure away your, yes your man! It doesn’t help that she was rumoured to have pursued and ended up having relationships with men that were currently attached to others at the time, first with Billy Bob Thorton (from Laura Dern), then Brad Pitt from the now sad, lonely, and chronically abandoned Jennifer Aniston.
The New York Post is starting the charge, claiming that once Johnny Depp’s partner (they’re not married) Vanessa Paradis found out that about a love scene in the script for The Tourist she’s been “demanding” that Depp quit the movie.
Some source (Aniston lowering her voice?) told the Post “Vanessa found out that there was a real long and intense love scene between [Depp] and Jolie. He’s currently trying to [get out of the movie], but I don’t know if he’s succeeded. But he’s trying and they’re talking about replacing him with Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio.”
Yeah, I’m not buying any of this either. Principal photography has started in Venice, Italy and Johnny has been reporting for work as required. Angelina and her whole family is there to, probably to try and stem the reports that she and Depp are trying to find “moments” to be alone together.
The folks at Celebitchy made an interesting observation. The Post is owned by News Corp (Rubert Murdoch’s company) which also owns The News Of The World, the tabloid which is currently being sued by the Jolie-Pitts over that break-up story that went viral and was reported worldwide last month.
Speaking of the Jolie – Pitts and tabloid f*ckery….
