Angelina Jolie ‘Seething’ At Sandra Bullock Oscar Buzz After ‘Losing’ Gravity Role?

Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock are in a “film feud,” reports Star, which claims the actresses “became bitter rivals over the lead role” in Gravity.According to an “insider” for the tabloid, “Angie was livid when she lost the part to Sandra because she knew it was a great opportunity.”“It was known as Angie’s movie, but when the project switched studios, the part was up for grabs — and Sandra snatched it,” alleges the outlet’s supposed source.The Star snitch adds, “Sandra knew Angie was interested, so when she was offered the part she went after it with more gusto than usual. Angie’s loss was Sandra’s gain, and they’re both keenly aware of that fact.”Star adds that Jolie is “furious” and “seething over Sandra’s coup — and her Oscar buzz,” having hoped the project “would give her the critical acclaim her career has been lacking.”Uh, Jolie is one of the biggest stars in the world and already an Oscar winner.She is not “lacking” for “critical acclaim.”Still, Star’s so-called “insider” goes on to predict that if Bullock wins the Best Actress Oscar at the upcoming Academy Awards, “you know those cameras will be focused right on Angie to get her reaction.”Considering the cameras usually catch the reaction of the winner and other contenders, we highly doubt the reaction of someone who isn’t even nominated will be the focus.Regardless, this supposed “feud” is as fictional as Gravity itself.Jolie was NEVER attached to the film, having PASSED on the role back in 2010 — after the film changed studios, and before Bullock was ever in discussions for the part.In any case, a source close to the project tells Gossip Cop that claims of a “rivalry” between the two stars because of the movie are completely “absurd.”Of course, Star loves nothing more than pitting two female celebs against each other.

Watch out wine world! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just added another award to their growing mantel filled with Oscars, Golden Globes and SAG Awards -- only this time, the honor is for wine. The dynamic duo's Chateau Miraval Rosé 2012 was ranked number 84 among Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the Year, making it the "best Rosé in the world," according to a new press release. Back in March when the wine was first released, all 6,000 bottles sold out within five hours. Although Jolie, 38, and fiance Pitt, 49, may have helped boost sales with their celebrity, wine experts seem to agree that the Hollywood super-couple can toast to their good taste. Wine Spectator Managing Editor Kim Marcus called the rosé "Refined and elegant, offering pure and concentrated flavors of dried red berry, tangerine and melon. The focused finish features flint and spice notes, with a hint of cream."
