Angelina Canned ?
Sunday, September 30, 2007
Fresh off the rumour mill, there is speculation that Mr and Mrs Smith actress Angelina Jolie has been fired from her position as the face of St John, a clothing company. Angie has been the face of St John since 2005.
It’s crazy to think that someone as famous as Jolie could get canned. Nevertheless, one source
says it was her image that caused the clothier to dump her. “Putting celebrities in campaigns is the biggest trend right now, everyone is doing it, but it didn’t work for St John with Angelina. The people that wear St John just didn’t relate to her.”
Those “people who wear St John” include US Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and White House staffer Condoleeza Rice.
However, the reps for the fashion label say that no decision has been reached yet.
Meanwhile, Jolie has trouble on another front as well. It has been reported that parents collecting their children from the same New York school as her son Maddox have been asked to respect Jolie and Brad Pitt’s the privacy.
The school has had to issue letters to parents to try to prevent a media frenzy.
According to the New York Observer, the letter said, “Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms Jolie and Mr Pitt for recognition... I must ask for everyone to please respect the family’s privacy and discontinue these practices.”
