Sometimes on-screen connections lead to a whole lot more off-screen. No one knows that better than Brad Pitt, who met his ladylove Angelina Jolie while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
Maybe that’s why Brad’s not comfy with Angie acting amorous with co-star James McAvoy in her upcoming film “Wanted.” In fact, according to Life & Style, he’s downright jealous.
Evidently Angelina’s real-life leading man found it hard to watch her and James share a passionate lip lock. “Brad knows it’s only a movie,” a friend of the couple told L&S. “But seeing them together still stung. She hasn’t done anything that erotic since ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith.’”
To make matters worse, the magazine reports the sexiest scenes were added at Angie’s urging. She even brought her favorite writer, Dean Georgaris, on board to beef up the interaction between the characters.
“The changes meant she spent way more time with James, and the sexual tension got a lot more intense.” The L&S insider added that the co-stars became extremely close while filming, and the further inclusion of a nude bath scene “was entirely Angelina’s idea.”
Brit relies on lucky charms
It’s still tough times for Britney Spears, what with the ongoing custody battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline and her own outrageous public behavior working against her. Now OK! magazine reports the struggling pop star’s found hope.
“Brit picked out a clover Primp hoodie because she thought it would help bring her luck,” an insider revealed to OK! “She said she needed all the luck she could get after the past few months. She joked she’d start carrying around a rabbit’s foot if it meant her curse would go away.”
Some pals are wondering why Britney isn’t turning to her faith in her time of need. “Brit was the shining star in the local choir,” said a friend of Britney’s from back home in Kentwood, La. “She was a God-centered person and always said you were lost until you let Him in.”
Instead, OK! reveals that after the events of the last year, her pals say, “anyone can tell Britney isn’t living a Christian lifestyle.”

According to the latest issue of the National Enquirer, that’s just what the junior diva did at her cousin’s wedding, when she arrived in a chesty little number.
“Rihanna is known for dressing very sexy — but no one expected her to show up at a wedding dressed like she was on stage,” a family source told the Enquirer. “She was the center of attention instead of the bride — and the bride and groom got upset!”
The singing star blew kisses to her fans before making her grand entrance into the church, but it wasn’t long before Rihanna was shown the exit. “She had words with her aunt and mother, and she was asked to leave,” the family member disclosed to NE. “She asked what was she supposed to do — come dressed in a paper bag?”
Dish on the flyCutie couple Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal picked California’s wine country for their latest rendezvous.

Page Six suggests that gubernatorial goals could be why he’s keeping his New Jersey home, despite having moved the family to SoHo. “Jon has been approached many times about running for office,” PR man Ken Sunshine told Page Six, but, alas, he denied the rockin’ frontman had any current political plans.
