You won't be seeing Angelina Jolie in any more St. John ads.
Chief executive officer Glenn McMahon tells Women's Wear Daily that the actress, 34, "overshadowed the brand."

"We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette," he added.

Replacing Jolie? Red-headed model Karen Elson.
Elson, 30, is the wife of White Stripes rocker Jack White, with whom she has two kids.
"We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John," McMahon explained. "We have evolved."

The ads, directed by executive vice president of design George Sharp, will launch in the February issues of Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.
News of Jolie's departure as the face of St. John was first announced in June 2008. She had been with the company for three years.

"It was a great run we had," McMahon said at the time. "Three years is a long time to maintain any campaign, and we felt it was time to do something new and different."

All your hardwork and dedication has paid off, you made the homewrecker list, where you belong! MUAH! XoXo
maybe thats why the tomb raider guys ditched angie too for the third movie. she overshadowed lara croft
Check out how Angelina and Brad intend to further help the victims on Hollywood News!
NO COMPARISON- KINDA DOWNGRADED-SORRY BUT, EVEN MS FOX COULDN'T EQUAL ANGELINA!
Jolie overshadows everything because she's just so darn beautiful inside and out. Poor St John!
No Rudy, they finally figured out your stupid.
they finally figured it out that the dogs are better and prettier than Jolie.
Is Angelina being replaced by an entire person, or just a head?
Do you think Jolie Voight really cares? She doesn't wear their clothes, and her persona doesn't say "ST JOHN'S"......it says more like "FREDERICKS".
Angelina Jolie axed by knit firm....this is such old news...People reported this June 12, 2008...
what loons. the world and jen use jolie please get a life the world is sick of joli and stupitt these two pretentious over exposed, overrated actors that want the world to know when they fart and how great their life and sex is and how many kids they are popping out in this over populated world. they are like the king and queen of France when the people where hungry they said "feed then cake". MOVE ON AND LETS GET SOME interesting and normal actor to make movies and write about. sick of these two pensioners.
She's Tiger Woods before Thanksgiving. There's something weird about her personal life that the public doesn't know. St. Johns doesn't want to associate with her because of it.
The red head is hideous
And we're supposed to care because....???
Wow, what an awful switch! St John's clothes are matronly and Angie needs to represent a line with flair. I hope she's not disappointed!
The the "unsatisfied customer" post. Are you really not going to buy their products because they chose to go another way? You are a certified "Angeloonie" fan, and obsessed with her. Get a life, and do not bother with worrying over such trivial things! Who really cares!
She overshawdows everything she does!
Angelina was never classy enough to represent St. Johns. She is no Jackie O. Sex is her thing.She didn't make money for them so they dropped her. Simple as that. She hasn't been looking good for quite awhile now. This woman at least looks healthy and fresh.
JENNIFER ANISTON HAS BEEN ATTACKED ANGIE FOR YEARS TO SELL HER MOVIE,NOW ST.JOHN DO THE SAME AS HER TO SELL THEIR CLOTHES.THAT IS WORKING FOR ANISTON HOPEFULLY IT WORKS AS WELL FOR( ST. JOHN) THEM.EVERYONE WHO WANTS FREE PUBLICITY YOU CAN USE ANGELINA JOLIE'S TO GET IT IN THE PRESS.
Angelina Jolie is just too beautiful for their boring clothes.Each time they choose a model they are going to use Angie's name for publicity.
