Angelina Jolie Not "Modern", "Clean" Enough For St. John, Replaced By Model

Angelina Jolie has lost her long-standing job as the face of fashion brand St. John, because she's too tainted by her fame!

“[Jolie] overshadowed the brand,” chief executive officer Glenn McMahon told WWD. “We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.” Does that mean Angie is dirty?

The company decided to hire model Karen Elson (who, incidentally, is married to White Stripes singer Jack White), saying, "We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John." Ooohh, snap, Angie, they called you old-fashioned! “We have evolved,” he added.

What do you think, is this a step forward for the company?
