Angelina Jolie has signed on to portray crime novelist Patricia Cornwell's heroine Dr. Kay Scarpetta in a forthcoming movie from Twentieth Century Fox and its Fox 2000 division.

The screenplay will be based on Cornwell's bestselling Scarpetta series of books, about the beautiful, hard-charging medical examiner who solves crimes, but it will not be focused on any one specific novel.

The project has yet to hire a screenwriter or a director. Mark Gordon and Geyer Kosinski will produce.

We asked, you answered: 58 percent of voters responding to VF Daily's just-closed Most Beautiful Woman in the World poll think Angelina Jolie reigns supreme.

In fact, the competition wasn't even close. Out of the 19 women on the list, Gisele Bündchen came in second place, with 9 percent of the vote, followed by Halle Berry with 4 percent.

That means we can discard all those ballots with hanging chads—there's no recount needed here.

Angelina Jolie looks really cold here on the Salt set, doesn't she? Perhaps there was a strong breeze on the water. Of course, she could just be, you know, acting ;)

Speaking of acting, Angelina is reportedly in "serious talks" to star in Sin City 2. When first asked if she would be interested in the sequel, she didn't seem all that enthusiastic.

"I found the first Sin City impressive, but I don't know what they're going to do with the next one to make [it] as original as the first one."

Wonder what got her interested enough to be in "serious talks?" The sequel is supposed to be focusing on A Dame to Kill For. Are you interested?

Angelina Jolie is tired of being tied down to one man -- and has told partner Brad Pitt she wants an open relationship, according to a new report.

Jolie -- who raises six children with the Burn After Reading star -- apparently dropped the bombshell during a heated row.

A source tells British magazine Now, "Angelina and Brad were having one of their arguments when she told him she was so sick of being stressed that she just yearned to be free and wouldn't care if they had other lovers.

"Ange has never been a traditional kind of girl, especially when it comes to romance.

"Even though Brad was attracted to her unconventional behavior initially, at his core he's a traditional guy.

"As open-minded as he tries to be, he certainly wouldn't be fine with her sleeping with another man and would definitely have resented the suggestion, even if it was a petulant slip of the tongue on her part."

Angelina Jolie is the happiest she has ever been thanks to her loving relationship with Brad Pitt and their 6 children. The actress also admits she loves the way her life has changed since becoming a mother. Angelina - whose mother Marcheline Bertrand passed away in 2007 - said:

"I'm much happier and more fulfilled than I thought I would ever be, especially when I was going through a lot of grief when I was younger. I hope it lasts.
I think I'm becoming more like my mother and looking more like her too as I get older. I'm also more gentle and nurturing since becoming a mother."

Angelina told Britain's Closer magazine that while she doesn't have a hard time juggling work with family, but she has to help out Brad in that department.

"I'm very organized. I don't get stressed and I take everything in my stride. I've had to help Brad a bit with that part of our life!
The biggest problem is just lack of sleep. But all parents face that - you're just grateful when the kids fall asleep and you can collapse on the couch together."

Angelina also admits that work is no longer her number one priority.

"I'm not as ambitious as I used to be - my family is my priority. When we get film offer, we ask ourselves, 'Will it be good for the family?' "At some point I want to relax, look after my family and do more humanitarian work."

A British magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie's health has been suffering as a result of her trying to lose weight for her role in Salt. She supposedly did a crash diet to lose 21 pounds. And now that, combined with the stress of filming, has taken it's toll on Angelina.

“It all got too much for Angelina. She collapsed between takes, complaining of shortness of breath and dizzy spells. To be fair, it was after she’d filmed a strenuous scene in which she ran around the set, but it was still shocking to see her crumble.”

She was given medical attention on set, but she still hasn't changed her eating habits.

"She never eats properly when she's upset. Food is the last thing on her mind. She'll ignore breakfast, pick at lunch and skip dinner.”

Was that Brad Pitt ordering an onion bagel with a schmear at Bagel Works in Huntington? Or was that him in the black Infiniti on Centre Island Road? That pretty brunette stepping out of the limo in Lloyd Harbor, isn't she...?

Tinseltown titans Pitt and Angelina Jolie are making the most of the North Shore while she films an espionage thriller here and in Manhattan. At least, that's the speculation in hair salons, supermarkets and eateries ever since the dynamic duo reportedly arrived on Long Island last month.

"All the moms are looking out for Brad, for God's sake," said one woman, with family ties to Centre Island where the couple may (or may not) have recently moved into an estate owned by Rupert Murdoch. "He's so cute."

Sightings have placed Pitt and Jolie at bars, pizza joints and convenience stores from Bayville to Cold Spring Harbor and beyond. Two of their kids are reportedly enrolled at a prestigious North Shore private school, where Pitt was said to have been spotted on Monday.
