The Angelina Jolie Armani rumors linger on! Although it’s been denied that Angelina would be promoting a fragrance, now the rumors have expanded, saying that Angelina Jolie and David Beckham would pose for Armani underwear billboards together. I think this story must have been born of a twisted-around combination of the perfume rumors and the fact that David recently posed for a very smokin’ hot series of underwear ads with his wife, Victoria Beckham.
However, when David was asked directly if the rumors of him posing in his skivvies with Angelina were true, he appeared baffled as well as bashful.
After he got over feeling flustered, he said:
“I definitely don’t think that’s true. I think it’s something put out in the press. [...] She’s an amazing person and so is Brad Pitt.They’re an incredible couple – they’ve got an amazing family. You know she wouldn’t do it and I wouldn’t do it. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t do it because I’m married.”
I can’t deny it, an ad campaign for Armani underwear featuring both Angelina Jolie AND David Beckham would be just about enough to make me drop into a dead faint. Have you SEEN David’s ads? Rawr.
But you know, I like the campaign he did with Victoria. The whole couple thing made the ads amazing. Even though I don’t think you could convince Brad Pitt to pose in his underwear, it certainly would be rather, err, nice to see a giant billboard of Brad and Angelina in their “unmentionables” right smack in the middle of Times Square, don’t you think?

E – I totally agree with you. It came from a tab, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to believe they made it up. As for David I think his response was very gentlemanly.
007 – I read somewhere that Tree of Life will be out in 2010. And I’m wondering if The Lost City of Z will get off the ground in light of how the studios treated Moneyball.
Thanks Sherry for the new thread. I got so spoiled from last week’s photos of Brad & Angie pics in L.A., especially the ones with Angie & the girls.

Thanks F a y e 8 8 !
2010 is a bit away still… Oh well. Not much to do about that! I doubt that Moneyball should in any way reflect badly on The Lost City of Z though. The “itch” that halted production of Moneyball was the rewriting of the script by Soderbergh, how that would have rippleeffects on a completely different project I don’t know. Actually, haven’t the foggiest as to if TLCZ has a director/producer attatched to it, or rather I mean – who… (?)
Oh and I just noticed. While I had David’s CK-ads in mind when comparing with the Armani, I seem to have written CK instead of Armani in a few places in the last comment… So, that’s why it might seem strange ;)
Thanks for the quick release from moderation-land Sherry! =)

To 007 . . . Thanks for the novel!! LOL
Re: Brad and the Sumo: That commercial was only for the Japanese market. Brad has been doing commercials for that particular telephone company for years. We only see them because of YouTube. I don’t even think that phone is available in the States. At any rate, you have misunderstood what I said. I meant that Angelina would NEVER be in a sexy ad, wearing a bra and panties, with a man who was not Brad Pitt. She is a mature woman who is doing good work for the U.N. and is a top earning actress. WHY would she want to do a sexy ad with a married soccer player. It doesn’t make sense. It would make her look like she’s desperate for publicity and she isn’t.
To Jackie . . . You sound really very silly!! WHY would Angelina Jolie put out the word that she would be doing an Armani underwear ad with a soccer player? It’s ridiculous. She doesn’t need the publicity. If Angie (or Brad) wanted that type of publicity they would pose TOGETHER in an underwear ad!! She doesn’t need to get publicity by hanging on to a soccer player’s coattails.
Also to Jackie . . . Angelina Jolie has NOT signed up to do anything with Armani!! You really should stop reading the rag mags because they tell lies!! The Armani company denied it and Mr. Armani himself denied it when he was asked. But, of course, you would rather believe the rags!!

007 . . . I’ve heard that “Lost City of Z” does not yet have a script. Or at least, not one that has been approved. It doesn’t really have a start date either. I don’t know what the problem could be unless it’s just the logistics of filming in the Amazon. If that’s one of the problems, I suggest they film the movie in Puerto Rico in the El Yunque rainforest!! It would make a perfect Amazon jungle!!
As for “Tree of Life” . . . Last I read was it would be released at the end of 2009, in time for awards season. Of course, they could release it in NY and LA, which would qualify for the awards and wide-release it after that.

Angie did not sign with Armani, Lies and Style made it up and some gossip blog made this up as a offshoot of the original lie.

I really don’t get all the hoopla over him or his wife. He has a great body, but his voice grates on my nerve like chalk on a blackboard. His face is ok at best; it never seems to change expression, whether he’s smiling or not, it looks the same. To each his own. He made way too much money to come here and play for the Galaxy and then forgot to be loyal to them. Since he’s been called out in the papers he’s now trying to PRETEND that he has such enthusiasm for playing with them. He may not be a Hollywood creation, but he certainly has that STAR mentality. His wife is over-rated too. I love some of her clothes, but a lot of what she wears is just ridiculous, including her shoes. She’s basically a clothes rack that gets way more attention than she deserves. I don’t give this rumor any credence at all; I can’t see Angelina even entertaining the thought.

Lou ann- If i’m silly imagine what you sound like.I’m no fan of jolie-pitt ,i’m only commenting on the story, and the only thing i’m saying is that it was Beckham who was first to shoot down the idea .And he’s getting heat for saying it’s because he’s married.The Beckhams are not dying to be linked to Jolie , that’s my point.I think a lot of you are in denial about just how unpopular Jolie is among women .I don’t think she could sell anything, stick to acting and leave Becks coattails alone.

Jackie, if you are “no fan of Jolie-Pitt” and “how unpopular Jolie is with woman” could you explain to me why would you come to this website? Guess it must be because you enjoy making comments that you know will upset people. You really need just comment at Just Jared where others who h*te the Jolie-Pitts are.

I have to agree with “LAINEYGOSSIP” comment on Beck and Armani story:
No, because he’s married
Big surprise.
The UK tabloids reported something and it turned out to be wrong. Shocking, non?
Last week they put out a story about David Beckham posing with Angelina Jolie for Armani underwear. Becks has now denied the claim on the grounds that…
He’s married!
“You know (Angelina) wouldn’t do it and I wouldn’t do it. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t do it because I’m married.”
So marriage didn’t stop him from cheating on his wife. But it will stop him from posing with the world’s most desirable woman for an ad campaign.
Please.
There is no f-cking way Victoria would have let that happen.
My favourite though are the responses to the story on the Us Weekly comment section – this one in particular:
Oh I love him even more..what a gentleman!!
Snort.

Oh Jackie, you are so funny! Since when did Jolie become unpopular? And puhlease, Jolie doesn’t need to use somebody just to be on the headline because for your information, they’re always on the headlines whether they like it or not and puhlease, if they will use somebody, it wouldn’t be the Becks, i mean, why would the most powerful woman alive use someone who’s less famous than her? Think about it. Even Beckham’s charm didn’t help his career in america so he’s moving somewhere to rebuild his career back. Talking about who’s becoming unpopular. If you think Jolie can’t sell anything, how much more the Becks? It’s so funny because Beckham used to be a respectable athlete but now he’s only famous for his underwear ads. And for your information, Jolie came up on the recent poll to be the most desirable by both male and female. The next time you post something rubbish, make sure you do your research.

L o u A n n – the idea doesn’t exactly come naturally to me either (the underwear-thing) :) I just perceived the comment as Angie being in an ad (any ad) with this-or-that-person who in some way might “bring down her status” because he/she is by some considered C-list in the US or North America. Hence the third paragraph (sounds like I’m referring to legislative texts… =P ).
What I meant was that, regardless of the Armani ad being for the US market alone, an international campaign or for another country/region (like Brad’s beer and cellphone commercials) – why would it matter who she’s with… There are people more famous in one place, but not so well known in another… (i.e. Brad and the ex Sumowrestler). It still works. That being said I don’t know which market that particular Armani ad is intended for. But I understand where you’re coming from – stressing the half-nakedness and draping herself over some other guy. I got ya’! And have no views on that :)
I agree with you as for the fact that Angie’s got much better things going on in her life, other than an Armani pants flash. If you’d have to prioritize… it’s apparent what’d come last.
Thanks for the info on The Lost City of Z! I’ve seen pictures of parts of El Yunque National Forest – very beautiful. Great alternative if that’s what’s holding them up! But depending on if they’d like the typical ruins or Inca-type cities in the scenes, it’d be more practical with the Amazon-area. More stuff that Hollywood movies are made of I suppose… Nobody’s said much about that project though… Just me ranting on about it because I’d like to see Brad in a classic adventure flick. We’ll just have to wait and see on that one – if it ever materializes.
Auf wiedersehen!

Veski- Unless you have insider information, you don’t know that David cheated on his wife. That was just a rumor in a tabloid. Nothing was ever said about it in more reputable sources. Also, Victoria obviously stood by David through the rumors, something I doubt she’d have done if they were true.
Like Cassie said, if you believe those rumors, do you believe all the rumors that have gone around for the past four plus years about Angie and Brad cheating on each other?

jackie- It’s fine that you like the Beckhams. Just keep in mind that this is a Brad and Angelina fansite, not a Beckham fansite. Fine if you want to share your thoughts regarding the Beckhams’ side of this interview. However, if you are going to bash Angie (it’s very obvious that you really don’t like her), then please realize that we fans ARE going to defend her!

JACKIE- Stay at your own fan site or would you prefer that I go bash the Beckhams on their fan site? Why must you bash one person as a rally for another? I think its perfectly possible to admire both parties.
