Angelina Jolie poses for a picture with her pal Ewan McGregor at a screening of his film The Impossible on Sunday (November 18) at the Soho Hotel in London, England. The 37-year-old actress hosted the private screening, where she praised Ewan‘s work in the film. “I have known you for years and you are one of my favorite actors and I’ve always loved to watch you, but I watched this and I didn’t recognize you,” Angelina said. “To say it is one of the best performances of the year, really doesn’t give it credit, because it doesn’t feel like a performance. It’s from such an honest place and so deeply emotional.” “The true testament of any film is what you walk away with, and I think in this film you walk away with more empathy, with a greater sense of connection to your fellow man, and you want to run home and hug your kids, and tell the people you love that you love them,” Angie added. FYI: Angelina wore an Atelier Versace black long sleeve silk-crepe cocktail dress with a criss-cross pleating effect on the front with a black belt.

Celebrities' attempts to go undercover are pitiful, if a recent report by Us Weekly is to be believed. The magazine reveals the secret aliases that A-listers such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Justin Timberlake and Johnny Depp use when checking into hotels. As to be expected, the names are just as colorful as their personalities: Brad and Angelina use "Bryce and Jasmine Pilaf," while Justin Timberlake favors "Mr. Woodpond" and Johnny Depp sometimes drops a "Mr. Drip Noodle" bomb onto an unsuspecting hotel receptionist.But as conpicuous as "Pilaf" and "Woodpond" are, the winner for the most ridiculous name goes to, unsurprisingly, notorious prankster George Clooney. He reportedly uses the actual name of another famous face -- Arnold Schwarzenegger.Of course, as the published report makes this information public, we can expect new monikers to surface. What new nicknames should these celebrities use to protect their privacy? Sound off in the comments below.

William Hague recruits Angelina Jolie in campaign against rape in warzones

Angelina Jolie has flown into the UK to support William Hague’s difficult mission to tackle sexual violence and rape in wazones, reports Cathy Newman. Wilton Park is a grand pile in Sussex owned by the Foreign Office. It was used in the war to interrogate German prisoners of war. However, today it's the mandarins who are being held captive - or at least captivated - by a woman of German descent: none other than the Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie.If it sounds like a film plot, it might as well be. Because Ms Jolie's recent film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, dealt with the traumatic subject of sexual violence in warzones, and that's why she's jetted in today - to support the Government's global campaign on the issue. William Hague joked to the assembled company of global experts attending a special conference on the issue that she was "checking up on whether we have lived up to our promises".As a statement of good intent, the Foreign Secretary is about to deploy a 70-strong team of police, lawyers, psychologists, doctors and forensic experts to gather evidence of rape and other sexual crimes committed in warzones. The Foreign Office has also pledged £1m to help UN efforts to secure justice for victims.There's an urgency about all this. As I've blogged before, 50,000 women were raped in Bosnia it's thought, and possibly as many as 400,000 in Rwanda. But it's also happening right now to thousands of women in Syria.As Ms Jolie said today, sex ual violence as a weapon of war "has almost become a rule rather than an exception". What's also important to remember is that one of the most senior men in the Cabinet is taking this on. There are those who say it's difficult for a man to talk about things like rape. But if the rape of grandmothers, mothers, children - and yes men too - is something the men round the cabinet table leave to their (by and large) more junior, female colleagues the risk is the issue becomes marginalised. Even more so because of the dearth of women in the upper echelons of Government – something not lost on Mr Hague.There may be those who are cynical about the Ms Jolie’s involvement. But by securing the backing of a global star, who let's not forget is also a UN envoy, the Foreign Office has been able to publicise an atrocity - raising awareness about the scale of the problem and helping remove some of the stigma surrounding it.
