The Oscar-winner takes on one of Disney's most iconic villains in this revisionist fairytale. In recent years, there's been a trend to take familiar fairytale stories and reimagine them for modern movie-going audiences. Disney kicked things off with a twisted look at "Alice In Wonderland," and now, a new teaser trailer previews what we can expect when the studio brings one of their most iconic villains back in a very big way. "Maleficent" perfectly casts Angelina Jolie as the Mistress of All Evil and retells the story of Sleeping Beauty from her perspective. The just-released teaser trailer for the movie shows a young Princess Aurora, as played by Elle Fanning, speaking to someone she cannot see. The scene gives us some idea of what we can expect from the new take on the story.According to Aurora, she has felt the presence of Maleficent for her entire life, watching over her even when she was just an infant. She is, of course, referring to the special interest Maleficent took in the child after her father failed to invite her to the christening. But something tells us there is a little bit more to the story than that.Maleficent hides in the shade before stepping out and showing off her horned look. "Then you'll be afraid," she warned Aurora.From there, the preview shifts to a spectacular event that should be familiar to anyone who knows the original animated movie. She keeps Aurora in a castle after she pricks her finger on a spindle, and Maleficent sends a towering wall of thorns into the sky. If only there was some sort of charming prince to save the princess!

Angelina Jolie’s Friend Targeted by Phone Hacker, Court Told

Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World newspaper paid a private eye to hack the phone of Angelina Jolie’s stunt double, who also was a close friend of the actress, a London court was told Tuesday. It is alleged that the paper employed Glenn Mulcaire to hack the cell phone of Eunice Huthart in 2005 and 2006 in order to dig up gossip about Jolie’s relationship with Brad Pitt. The claim was made by the prosecutor in the trial of two former editors of the paper, Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson. They are accused of conspiracy to hack phones and other related charges. They deny all charges. The court heard that in July 2005 Mulcaire made an entry in his notebook listing Huthart’s cell-phone number and her voicemail password number. Huthart was working with Jolie and Pitt on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and shared a house with the actress in Los Angeles. “I was working with her while living in L.A. We shared a house and it is well reported in the media that we are good friends,” Huthart said in a statement read to the court. The prosecutor said Mulcaire hacked Huthart’s phone four times in early 2006, when several stories about Jolie appeared in the paper. The prosecution alleges that Coulson, who was the editor at the time, would have known about Mulcaire’s activities. Coulson denies this. Kate Middleton, who later married Prince William, was on Mulcaire’s list of targets, the court was told. Mulcaire, who was paid £100,000 ($159,000) a year by the News of the World, has twice pleaded guilty to charges relating to phone hacking.

Walt Disney Pictures has debuted the new poster for Maleficent and will release the first trailer tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Check it out below! From Disney comes Maleficent—the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

Who knew that Heidi Montag and Angelina Jolie would ever have something in common? It turns out, the reality star and the Hollywood A-lister both received treatment from the same doctor this year. As Montag revealed to Us Weekly in its Nov. 18 issue, she recently removed her F-cup breast implants. Her doctor? Dr. Jay Orringer, who just so happens to be the same surgeon who helped Jolie with her breast reconstruction surgery after her mastectomy.In 2010, the former Hills star went under the knife to get size-F breast implants, along with nine other procedures. But as she now tells Us, the surgery caused several health problems."I couldn't conceptualize the weight of them in my body," the 27-year-old MTV alum told Us of her old implants. "They felt like bowling balls on my chest." Indeed, Montag decided this time around to downsize to a C-cup to help stop the back and neck problems and numbness in her arms that she previously was feeling.As for Jolie, the Maleficent actress first opened up about her reconstructive surgery done by Dr. Orringer in a revealing New York Times Op-ed piece in May. The 38-year-old star underwent a preventive double mastectomy to remove both breasts and reduce her risk of cancer in February.
"I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she wrote of her six kids with fiance Brad Pitt at the time. "It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that's it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was."She continued: "I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity." Since then, the Salt 2 star has been looking happy and healthy. She's currently in Sydney, Australia making her directing debut in the WWII film Unbroken.For more on Heidi Montag's recent surgery -- including how Spencer helped her recover, and why she got the implants to begin with -- pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.
