Angelina Jolie meets with Syrian refugees in Jordan who had fled from conflict in their home country. UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie travelled to the Jordan-Syria border to meet frightened and exhausted Syrian refugees who had just completed the perilous crossing to safety in Jordan.The Hollywood actress met a family who moved from Damascus to their home town of Daraa four months ago but decided they should flee to Jordan.This family is joining tens of thousands of others who have already fled to Jordan and surrounding country.Jolie returned to the camp on December 6 to meet more refugees and the family she talked to before.Nearly half a million Syrians fleeing intensified fighting have been registered in neighbouring countries since the conflict began.
Hundreds of thousands more are unregistered, but are expected to come forward for help in the next few months as their resources are depleted.Since the UNHCR special envoy's last visit in September, the number of registered Syrian refugees in the region has increased by more than 200,000 and in Jordan alone by nearly 50,000.The sprawling Za'atri refugee camp north of Amman has doubled in size.Angelina Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, made a donation of $50,000 dollars for the purchase of family tents for refugees.

Angelina Jolie wanted to be the leading lady in hit comedy drama Silver Linings Playbook, according to filmmaker David O. Russell.Jennifer Lawrence has been tipped for an Academy Award for her portrayal of promiscuous Tiffany in the movie, but Russell thought the 22-year-old star was too young and he had other "major actresses" in mind, including Jolie.At a screening for TheWrap.com, he explains, "Quite frankly, (Lawrence's audition) was like a formality. I didn't think she was really a contender. We had three very serious contenders (already). We had a lot of major actresses in town interested in the role, from Angelina Jolie to some other big stars, because it's a dimensional role for a young woman. Jennifer we frankly thought was too young."The Hunger Games beauty went on to win the part after auditioning over Internet phone service Skype, while Bradley Cooper was recruited to play her love interest, but Russell admits he considered a number of other A-list stars during the casting process.He adds, "I wrote it with Vince (Vaughn) and Zooey (Deschanel) in mind, because I love Vince's cadences... And then Mark Wahlberg, who I love and made three movies with, there was a moment where he was going to do it. That didn't work out... and it was out of my hands... I originally wrote it for other people."But as Matt Damon very graciously said to me about the Christian Bale role in The Fighter - which he was originally intended to play, 'It just goes to show, the right people play the right role at the right time.'"

I will do some films,” Jolie continues. “I'm so fortunate to have the job. It's a very lucky profession to be a part of and I enjoy it.

Miley Cyrus has revealed that she feared for her life performing stunts for new action-comedy So Undercover.The former Hannah Montana star, who plays an FBI agent going undercover at a college sorority in the film, told Digital Spy that her father tried to talk her out of filming a precarious action set-piece."In the opening scene, I'm dangling off the side of a building in New Orleans which is 100% real. I am so scared of heights. Going up an escalator freaks me out!" Cyrus said. "In the first shot, I was supposed to stand up on this flowerpot to climb on to the side of the building and the flowerpot tipped over. I was so scared."My dad had his arms wrapped around his chair and he was like, 'No, you can't do this!' I was literally walking on the side of the building, which is one of the craziest things I've ever done. It was just nuts." Asked to name her favourite action hero, Cyrus said: "Angelina Jolie is the sexiest superhero of all time who can kick ass. She always looks amazing, and is so believable. Wanted is one of my favourite movies. "What girl doesn't want to be flipping a car while giving the hottest look to camera? She's like, the coolest chick in the world!"
