She's already agreed to take on the role of female icon Cleopatra, but now Jolie may be sinking her teeth into a 20th century legend, Marilyn Monroe.

Andrew O'Hagan, who wrote The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog says that Jolie is set to play the famous blonde bombshell in the screen version of his novel, reports The Telegraph.

The book follows Marilyn's last two years through the eyes of her pet, Maf (short for "Mafia"), a Maltese terrier which was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.

Scarlett Johansson was previously mentioned for the Monroe role, as was Mad Men's Christina Hendricks.

George Clooney is apparently playing Frank Sinatra in the film.

Do YOU think Angelina would make a good Marilyn?

Mel Gibson Wrecks Maserati In Solo Car Accident

Posted on Mon Aug 16th, 2010 9:55am PDT       By X17 Staff

melgibsonlogo.jpgMel Gibson was involved in a car accident on Malibu Canyon Road last night, but managed to walk away unharmed. DUI is "not suspected," however reports claim that the actor may have fallen asleep at the wheel.

The CHP confirms to X17online that Gibson, 54, lost control of his 2008 Maserati at 8:35pm and struck a rocky hillside. No other parties were involved in the wreck, and the incident is being treated as "property damage."

Gibson's car was towed from the scene.

Back in July 2006, Gibson was arrested in Malibu for driving under the influence. It was during that arrest that the actor went on the now-infamous anti-Semitic rant. In October 2009, a judge agreed to expunge Mel Gibson's conviction since he had completed the terms of his probation which included attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, performing public service announcements and paying $1,300 in fines.

Beyonce Knowles may be taking some time off, but that's not to have a baby because, as the star reveals, she's still too "ambitious."

"My ambition is to continue to learn about the world and to eventually have a family," she told You magazine, adding that she's planning "no dates, no times – it will happen when I am ready."

But Beyonce, who is debuting a new perfume called "Heat", says her life is so hectic that she already feels like a woman who has a child. "Probably the biggest challenge in my life is time – making sure I have time to be a wife, to be a singer, to be a songwriter, to be an actor and still have time for my clothing line and now for my perfume. I am like any other woman who has a child, who has a husband, who has a job. I think it’s the hardest thing about being a woman because we have so many responsibilities."

She may not be ready to take on an additional one right now, but we can't imagine the 29-year-old will be waiting until she has an Oscar to start trying for a little Jay-Z junior!

Tyra Banks Apologizes For Controversial America's Next Top Model Promo

The promo for the next season of America's Next Top Model, featuring contestant Ann Markley with the "smallest waist in the world," has been accused of promoting an unhealthy body image for young women. Executive producer Tyra Banks is now saying sorry for the "misconstrued" message.

In the promotional spot, fellow judge Miss J. Alexander puts his hands around the 6-foot, 2-inch 19-year-old model's waist showing off just how small her midsection is. Host Jay Emmanuel also jokes that another judge will be dieting on "Tic Tacs and watercress for the rest of the season."

Tyra released the following apology:

    “In an effort to create a fun and entertaining sneak peak of the upcoming cycle, America’s Next Top Model released a trailer that was edited in way that misconstrued our overarching message. As a leader in celebrating and promoting healthy body image, I must admit that I regrettably didn’t see this clip before it was released to the public, (with multiple Top Model departments, it’s just impossible to review everything) but on behalf of the Top Model team, these were not the intentions, and we truly apologize for any confusion, anger or disappointment it may have caused.

    The passionate response the trailer has evoked proves that the message to promote and celebrate all different — healthy and natural –- body types has resonated with our viewers and I’m so proud of every one of you who voiced your opinion and participated in this conversation. I have experienced body image scrutiny from one extreme to the next –- as an awkward, extremely thin pre-teen who couldn’t gain weight no matter what I did, to later being slammed by the media for my fuller, curvier frame.

    Driven by these personal experiences, I am committed to expanding the definition of beauty which includes ALL shapes, sizes and proportions, from skinny to curvy and everything in between. It’s about women telling the world to KISS their –- skinny, wide, droopy, flat, cellulite-covered or FAT -– you know what!”

    Through Top Model and my other platforms, I am able to connect with women directly. During this season of Top Model, you will see that Ann (the woman featured in the trailer) provided another opportunity for me to support a young woman struggling with her own body image issues (she’s 6’2″; and is the receiver of countless stares and ridicule). Helping young ladies, like Ann and countless others that have confided in me, furthers and supports my core mission.”

Monica Cruz Penelope actress Ibiza Spain bikini Monica Cruz Penelope actress Ibiza Spain bikini Penelope Cruz's little sister Monica showed that Pene wasn't the only one with the good looks in the family while frolicking on the beach in Ibiza yesterday.

Wearing a sweet white bikini, Monica could almost even be mistaken for Penelope herself!

The sisters are incredibly close and even design a line for clothing company Mango together -- but unfortch that's not the case with Penelope's sister-in-law, who's also named Monica!

“Penelope has known Monica for years, but she definitely got off on the wrong foot as a new family member," a source recently revealed of Javier Bardem's sister. “It may seem trite, but privacy is very, very important to Penelope. She told Javier she doesn’t want his family sticking their noses into their business. If this happens again, it could hurt the marriage.”

Katie Holmes Still Gushing Over Hubby Tom Cruise

Posted on Mon Aug 16th, 2010 8:06am PDT       By X17 Staff

After three years of marriage and one adorable little girl, Katie Holmes is still star struck by her own husband.

When questioned on whether or not Katie would ever consider working with Tom, she replied, "Well, we do collaborate on everything at home. But I mean, he’s Tom Cruise! His body of work is incredible. Every movie he’s done has done really well. I look back, and everything’s a classic. I definitely come home and say to him, 'So, imagine a scene … how would you play it?' And he’s helpful and sweet and gracious. He’s quite an incredible human being."

It sounds like they're still in the honeymoon phase! But Tom wasn't the only Cruise Katie was gushing over.

"[Suri’s] so creative and she’s so bright and so special," Katie told New York Magazine. "Whatever she wants to do, I know she’s going to be amazing at it. I’ve already started my applause, and I will be applauding for the rest of my life."

But we'll probably be applauding for Katie when her new film The Romantics comes out next month. If you haven't seen the trailer, it promises to be her best new film in years!
