Roll out the red carpet for Angelina Jolie: Two of her films will debut at the 61st Cannes Film Festival next month.

Her 1920s kidnap thriller, Changeling (directed by Clint Eastwood), is already building buzz to take home the top prize, the Palme d’Or, according to Variety.

Eastwood will compete against 19 directors – including Steven Soderbergh, who will debut his Che Guevara flick, The Argentine, starring Benicio Del Toro.

Out-of-competition, Jolie's animated adventure, Kung Fu Panda — featuring Jack Black — will hit the fest.

Also premiering: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Woody Allen’s new Spanish comedy, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, starring real-life loves Penelope Cruz and Javiar Bardem.

This isn't Jolie's first Cannes outing.

Last year, she and beau Brad Pitt got cozy as they debuted A Might Heart, and he premiered Ocean's 13. (See photos from their trip here.)

This year's festival takes place May 14-25 in the south of France.

With all the buzz about Jennifer Aniston's involvement with John Mayer, it's not surprising a number of the actress' closest friends -- including the ones from "Friends" -- are concerned.

"It's not that we don't like John, it's just that he does have that reputation as something of a serial dater who never sticks with one woman very long,'' said a close buddy of Aniston.

News of a romance between John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston broke last month when the Miami Herald spotted the duo acting "all cozy" during lunch at a restaurant there. Aniston was in Florida filming "Marley & Me." In Touch reported Mayer checked into the Four Seasons hotel but spent hardly any time there, hanging out instead at Aniston's suite at the Mandarin Oriental.
No question about it, the singer has been linked to a long list of stars, including the Pussycats Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Simpson and Cameron Diaz -- with whom he's remained so close, he attended her dad, Emilio's, recent funeral.

Aniston herself reportedly is worried -- mainly because she really likes Mayer. "It wouldn't be a big deal if this was just a casual thing,'' said the friend. "But Jen isn't into 'casual'. ... She wants a real, solid, genuine relationship.''

STILL OBSESSED: Then there's this new development: Just when we thought Aniston had let go of the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt thing, recent press coverage of Brangelina being in the South of France "has made Jen brood about all that all over again,'' another Aniston source told me Tuesday.

6:22 PM They are Just Happy Says: Do you know the difference between fiction and real life and work and real life. "W" wasn't AJ and BP in real life, it was a photoshoot tied into "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." What magazine had Brad and Maddox on the cover before the divorce was filed?

6:22 PM THey are Just Happy Says:

PEOPLE ARE NUTS AROUND HERE!!!! Angelina and Brad are happy. Jennifer Aniston is trying to get happy if she isn't already.

ARE YOU HAPPY????? If not... go make yourself happy. That's what life is really about.

w magazine has 60 photo shoots of Angelina and Brad playing house..you really need to get your facts straight.........and they have Brad playing daddy with maddox before the divorce........

Angelina and Brad weren't on the front covers of any magazine "playing house" before Aniston separated from Brad and they weren't "playing house" after she filed for divorce either. Get a grip!

What hell would you do if your husband was on the front cover of every magazine playing house with someone that claimed nothing was going on?????????????????? Let's not try to play stupid again!!!!!!!!!

Playing with a four-years old on a beach is immoral to you? Both Brad and Angelina said they talked about whether they should be together for a long time before they decided to give it a go. Angelina said she almost rejected him because of her concerns about the media frenzy Brad always draws. How do you know they were together, as a couple, in 4/05? If Jen didn't want her man to move on she shouldn't have separated with him and filed a Petition for Divorce that said under penalty of perjury that they had irreconcilable differences. Face it, Jennifer kicked her hubby to the kerb and then wanted to get some publicity so she turned into a wounded dress-burning ocean screamer. Please! GMAFB!

Actually the Pitt/Aniston divorce was prettyy quiet until the Vanity Fair interview came out in August '05 (not! 6 months.) Jen probably did the sit-downs in June and July '05. The interviewer obviously has a negative, sneering slant to take regarding Angelina, but Jen could have corrected her. Jen knew that Brad hadn't cheated on her before they separated, but she left AJ/BP to twist in the wind. Would you trust her again? Brad won't! Everyone knows both Brad and Angelina are not cheaters and are very, very monogamous. Why would anyone in Hollywood, who knows Brad (i.e. the owner of CAA, Brillstein-Grey, the chief of Paramount, Coen Bros., Soderbergh, Malick, Fincher, Eastwood, Clooney, Glazer, Katzenberg,) want to associate with Jen after that? She is C-List now and headed South. Check out the STAR-meter. It is a real shame because she had a terrific chance to take the high road and bailed.

that was an interview that was 6 months after her separation but since then she has not being throwing pity parties for herself. you have have to stop bringing that up. it was a very public divorce. that would be hard for anyone. but shes moved on. but like i said, shes made 3 movies this year alone, she has tons of fans i dont think she gonna be going away. you work in hollywood what do you do that makes you such an expert. and how do you know its not just stupid gossip too.

10:46 PM Anonymous Says: Jen called it a "pity party" herself -- it is a direct quote. "She doesn't downplay the difficulties. "Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely. But I'm also doing really well," she says. "I've got an unbelievable support team, and I'm a tough cookie.… I believe in therapy; I think it's an incredible tool in educating the self on the self. I feel very strong. I'm really proud of how I've conducted myself." Google "Vanity Fair" and Aniston and read the interview if you don't believe me and then tell me she doesn't want to be a victim? I "know" because I live and work in Hollywood and people talk, a lot! Trust me -- her career is on the skids and it is due to her publicist's ignorance but she is going along with him. Wait and see! By the way, I don't believe the tabloids about anyone, ever!

the real jello: the tabloid hype only pertains to angie and brad, i dont think so. everyone in hollywood deals with that. so if its happening to your angie then you cant believe all that stuff about jennifer. thats just you being a hypocrite.

10:46 PM Anonymous Says:

the real jello

you are crazy! she was not throwing a pitty party and how do you know what everyone in hollywood was thinking. you dont. her career is not on the skids if she has made 3 movies this year alone. and how can you believe the rumors about jennifer but not think that any of the rumors about angie are true. hollywood is hollywood no one is immune to false stories being told about them. so how can all these stories about jennifer not be true too, just like you're saying angie's arent. and who are these people that dont trust her anymore? you have no idea what your talking about.

10:20 PM The Real Jello Says:

8:15 PM Anonymous Says: Damn girl, quit projecting your stuff on to Angie. Angie has more class in her little finger than Jennifer Aniston could ever hope to have. Brad and Angie never said they were going to the Katzenberg fundraiser. That was just tabloid hype. Brad has always sponsored, for 6 years and only went twice, once after he and JA separated. Angie has always sponsored and has never attended. She doesn't party or club. She is a notorious homebody. Why would AJ/BP go out in the evening after a 4 hour award show, pregnant and moving house the next day? Are you insane? You can't possibly have kids and believe that stuff. If AJ was "flaunting" at the ISA, wouldn't she have been "flaunting" at the party? Jen started all this victim stuff. If people respond to it sweetly then she has only herself to blame. Before the VF article all of Hollywood thought she had initiated the separation from BP and was speeding full-on to divorce, then suddenly she is having pity parties and burning her wedding dress. Any wonder her career is on the skids and people don't trust her anymore? If you don't want James to answer those question in a kind and considerate way, what do you want?

10:15 PM LULU Says:

10:58 am WOW! If you don't like AJ stop reading about her. Angie isn't a liar or a homewrecker! She's never been shy about who she is sleeping with and if she says she didn't sleep with Brad before his marriage ended, Brad says she didn't sleep with him before his marriage ended and Jennifer Aniston says her marriage didn't end over another woman then who are you to say differently? As a matter of fact it appears Angie is a home BUILDER. Wearing a couple of drops of your husband's blood in a glass bubble on a chain isn't a crime, you know? It isn't even morbid. People used to make jewelry out of their deceased loved one's hair and wear it. As Angie said "his blood is more precious to me than any gemstones could be." AW that's sweet. Angie is a role model for thousands and thousands of people. Deal!

Girl, put down the tabs. Grazia magazine is a well-known UK tab, almost as bad as the US National Enquirer. They make up stories, one of which is this so-called interview with James Haven. Angelina has always been listed as a co-host of this pre-Oscar party, but she has never attended, and Brad, despite being listed as co-host every year, has only attended twice. Besides, what idiot would meet at such a public place for such a "showdown" that the tabs were salivating for? It was only the tabs and papz who said that Angie and Brad would attend, and then backed out of, that party.

yea why arent angies fans mentioning what her brother said. good point.

8:15 PM Anonymous Says:

If there was another girl in between me and someone like Brad Pitt I would definitely be cat fighting! Angelina sends messages through her brother and Jennifer just keeps happily filming her new movie, Marley and Me, with Owen Wilson unaware of this crossfire. Or is she?
Jennifer Aniston had moved on. After the long-awaited meeting between Angelina Jolie and her fell apart — when Angie and Brad Pitt backed out of the Feb. 23 Night Before pre-Oscar party in LA — the headlines about the almost-showdown were quickly forgotten.Until Angelina’s brother, James Haven, opened his mouth, that is. In an interview with the U.K.’s Grazia magazine, James revealed the real reason the couple were no-shows (despite being listed, along with Jen, as co-hosts of the party). While the oddly worded statement seemed sweet on the surface, it managed to paint Jen as a fragile, wounded woman who could never have handled a meeting with her ex-husband’s lover.
So what made Angie lash out at Jen via her brother? Angie (who has said she is willing to meet with Jen) was getting negative publicity for skipping the Night Before party, especially since she chose to publicly flaunt her baby bump that same day at the Independent Spirit Awards. Despite her super-confident public image, Angelina’s actually deeply insecure.........

and so do you

Indeed, Aniston vehemently rejects the interpretation that she was left for another woman. "I don't feel like a victim," she says. "I've worked with this therapist for a long time, and her major focus is that you get one day of being a victim—and that's it. Then we take responsibility for our own input. To live in a victim place is pointing a finger at someone else, as if you have no control. Relationships are two people; everyone is accountable. A lot goes into a relationship coming together, and a lot goes into a relationship falling apart. She'd say, 'Even if it's 98 percent the other person's fault, it's 2 percent yours, and that's what we're going to focus on.' You can only clean up your side of the street."

that is directly from the VF interview. it doesnt say she is taking 2%, she using it as an example of saying no matter how much is your fault you can only focus on yourself. it does not say 2% is mine and 98% is brads.

you guys arent doing what you're telling everyone else to do

when did she say 2%? and you know it looked very bad that only a few months after they separated he was with angie. angie doesnt look too innocent in this either. she said when they meet, which was when he was still married that them being together felt like something they should do. does that look like a strong woman or something to be proud of. i'm sorry but that seems wrong.
_____________________________________
Jen said that 2% bit in her VF interview. Angie said the quote about it feeling like something they should do in her Vogue interview from the Fall of 2006. She was referring to March/April 2005 when she and Brad were deciding to go ahead and act on their feelings. Brad's divorce was filed and Brad had not lived with Jen for months by that time. She said that Maddox calling him "Dad" one day when they were playing with cars sealed the deal for her because she wasn't going to let it go any further unless Maddox was comfortable. You have to read the whole interview to understand what she was talking about.

because why should she talk about it anymore. she shouldnt have to say good wishes to seem like a good person. thats stupid. that doesnt make sense.

why jen never offer good wishes when baby shiloh born? a good person do things like that. why?

7:27 PM Catty Kitty Says:

yeah, saying you'll take a whole 2% of the blame is not putting it on anyone else is it? Whatev. You have your opinion I have mine. Jen's a walking poster child for codependent women everywhere.

vince never cheated on her and at the time they did the interview they could have been together still. and she did not imply brad cheated all she said was i believe him. and on oprah she didnt even mention brads name or angie all she kept saying was i'm good i just want everyone to move on. turn the page. thats what she said. and it was in an interview with good moring america she was talking about that her and brad still talk and that its peaceful and she wishes him well. spot twisting it around. she wasnt trying to make brad look bad. they had just separated and she was talking to make everyone shut up. of course she would be upsest when the marraige ended but she was telling people she was moving on and that she still loved him, but she was never putting the blame anywere. and why talk about why it ended. the point is she wasnt putting it on him or angie. stop twisting things.

in the vanity fair interview she did just that. she said she choose to believe her husband because the divorce was still not fnale snd she said she believed him that he did not cheat on her. she did not blame it on angie. she went on oprah telling everyone to turn the page. to move on, she was fine and in another interview she did wish brad the best.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She said "I choose to believe my husband" heavily implying that he was lying, but oh, I'm just so innocent I'm going to believe him. She was far from emphatic about his innocence, and she downright implied he was lying. The way that interview was put together it was designed to make Brad look like a cad and Angie like a homewrecker, which of course, it did. She did the same damn thing on Oprah, sitting there like a friggin' wounded lamb. She said she only was taking 2% of the blame. 2%! WTH? And I have never seen anything that even remotely comes close to her "wishing him well". You're going to have to provide a link for that, because I flat do not believe it.

Speaking of Oprah, Jen liked right to her face about Vince Vaughn. "Oh no, we are still together, Oprah", batting her eyes like some kind of cow, then boom the next week Splitsville. Liar. And what about Vince? He's the one who cheated on her, and with some random college ho, too. Yet Loonifers NEVER mention THAT.
