Even though Angelina Jolie is busy directing her Bosnian War love story, she is still considering future acting projects... and one is Cleopatra.
Jolie has been attached to the movie (which is in very early stages of development) for a while, with Scott Rudin producing. Now Deadline reports that director James Cameron and Sony Pictures "are exploring the very real possibility" of taking on the project and directing in 3D.
Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal wants Angelina because "she's a real star who can open a movie by herself" and acknowledged that this Gone With The Wind-level epic "won't be cheap" but is still hoping to fast track the flick for a 2011 start date.
The script adaptation by Brian Helgeland is based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff's book Cleopatra: A Life and Schiff herself has said that Jolie has "the perfect look" for the role. And other than the Avatar sequel, Cleopatra is the only outside project Cameron is currently looking at.
Since Angelina told reporters back at the Hollywood Salt premiere she "would be honored" to play Cleopatra, we'd imagine this film might go into production as planned next year!

X17online brought you the EXCLUSIVE FIRST PHOTOS this morning of Madonna with her breakdancer boyfriend on a movie date, but now you can check out the 24-year-old Frenchman in action in this promo video for his agency!
Zaibat, who is a part of the "Pokemon" crew is an award-winning dancer who won the International Battle of the Year 2003, the UK B-Boy Championships and Freestyle Session Korea 2006.
But we have a feeling he's going to become much more famous for being the arm candy of one of the world's most famous women!
But Friday night, Brahim took a break from breakin' to cuddle up to his much older woman, taking Madonna to a showing of the two-part French film Carlos, about a terrorist (tres romantique!)
The two were spotted arm-in-arm as they left the theater with friends, after which, sources tell X17online, they spent the entire weekend together!
So is this latest boy-toy just a fling, or will he become completely enmeshed in her (and her childrens') life just like Jesus did?

The 45-year-old mom stepped out in New York City early this morning and took her twin daughters, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, for a walk in their strollers. Two cute!
SJP recently commented on the possibility of a third Sex and the City movie, saying: "I don’t know the future. I would say that you never know what will happen with that particular franchise. It's less about the reviewers than it is about the audience, and they’ve been pretty true, so we tend to listen to them more than anybody else."

What a devoted dad! Hunky Hugh Jackman played with kids Oscar and Ava in NYC's Hudson River Park on Sunday, proving that even though he's now 42, the muscly superstar is still in better shape than you.
Meanwhile, Deadline reports that director Darren Aronofsky is pretty much all set to take on Fox's Wolverine 2. In fact, the discussion has turned to "shooting the sound stage portions of the film in New York so the filmmaker and Hugh Jackman don't have to inconvenience their families."
The project will likely begin filming in March so Aronofsky has time to pick up a buncha awards for Black Swan, too. Who's excited to see Hugh in the Wolverine sequel?

Forget about the drama with attorney Gloria Allred, Hilary Swank has some competition with her Conviction co-star Minnie Driver! It's the battle of the fierce shoes and the fierce dresses. Both actresses - at a photo call for their Oscar-hopeful film in London over the weekend - are looking like dynamite these days... any idea how old Hil and Min are?

Well, I dunno if the commercial was "sexy" before, but it is now! The Portuguese soccer stud is seen above shooting a new ad for BES Bank and apparently that involves Cristiano playing foosball and ping pong. Whatever works!
Sidebar, how come Ronaldo isn't taking his shirt off for the commercial. That would probably help...
