First Look: Angelina Jolie's Directorial Debut, Land of Blood & Honey

Posted on Fri Oct 21st, 2011 10:30am PDT       By X17 Staff




At long last, we finally get a sneak peek at Angelina Jolie's controversial directorial debut, In the Land of Blood & Honey.

The romantic drama centers on a Serbian man (Goran Kostic) who falls in love with a Bosnian-Muslim woman (Zana Marjanovic) before 1992's Bosnian War separates them, and it's set to hit theaters December 23.

The Oscar winner, who also wrote the film, recently expressed: "I wanted to tell a story of how human relationships and behavior are deeply affected by living in side a war ... The cast was extraordinary. I was privileged and honored to work with them and I am very excited for everyone to see their immense talent."

Jolie filmed two versions of the movie, one in English, the other in the native Serbo-Croatian. And rather than choosing seasoned A-listers, the actress hand-picked local unknowns in the area to fill the coveted roles.

Could Blood & Honey earn the first-time director her second Academy Award?

Ashton Kutcher Discusses Media Integrity, Avoids Affair Rumors

Ashton Kutcher is opening up to the world via the internet, but not about the rumors that he had an affair with 22-year-old Sara Leal ... but instead, the Two and a Half Men star is discussing today's current social media environment.

During the nearly 4-minute video posted on website chime.in, Demi Moore's scruffy-looking hubby says:

    "I started thinking about that in relation to social media and media today. The threshold to have literature printed and distributed -- the cost structure went down to zero dollars. Thereby, there is no gatekeeper of the truth. We are our own editors, and our own publishers. We are our own printers. Therefore people can bastardize the truth in any way, shape or truth they want."


Kutcher is heavily into social media ... known to be an investor for both Flipboard and FourSquare. He adds:

    "There's a saying that a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can hit someone's lips ... we really have to take it upon ourselves to instill a level of honesty in our works and the media we create and we share with each other. And be certain we are doing our own diligence to ensure what we're saying is for the benefit of another...using our full capacity to share the truth."


Earlier this week, Demi and Ashton attended a private 4-hour Kabbalah counseling session at a rabbi's home. Since then, the couple have not been spotted in public together.

Is LA that hot in October, Christina?

The lovely Miss Aguilera decided to leave her pants at home as she ventured out for an afternoon shopping trip in West Hollywood, wearing sheer tights, a black leather jacket and spike-heeled Christian Louboutins, on Thursday.

The thigh-baring singer browsed the racks at posh boutique Fred Segal, before making her way (by chauffeur-driven car) to load up on racy lingerie at Agent Provocateur.

Aguilera left the pricey underwear shop with a huge bag of unmentionables -- carried by her assistant, of course.

Sounds like beau Matthew Rutler is in for a treat!

Posted on Fri Oct 21st, 2011 7:13am PDT       By X17 Staff

lohanteeth102011_08_230.jpgAfter being turned away at the LA County Morgue yesterday when she arrived 45 minutes late for community service, Lindsay Lohan made sure she was on-time today and turned up a hour EARLY at the coroner's office.

An X17 photographer in the scene tells us: "Lindsay arrived so early, she was sure to be on time. There's not that much traffic at 6:30 so she breezed into downtown from Venice and arrived an hour early."

Lindsay is expected to begin orientation at 7:45 this morning.

Lohan had her probation revoked by judge Stephanie Soutner Wednesday and left the courtroom in handcuffs. She posted the $100,000-bail and is still required to work two eight-hour shifts a week until her probation revocation hearing November 2.
