Check out this new look of Angelina Jolie as rogue CIA operative Evelyn A. Salt in the upcoming spy flick, Salt.

The film costars Liev Schreiber as Winter, her ally and supervisor in the CIA’s Russia office. Tom Cruise was initially meant to star in the film as Edwin A. Salt but was rewritten for Angie when Tom dropped out last summer.

Salt opens in 2010 and has been shooting in both New York City and Washington, D.C.

The most recognizable woman in the world is going undercover.

Angelina Jolie begins work today on Salt, a spy thriller about a rogue CIA operative who tries to clear her name after she is accused of being a Russian sleeper agent — perhaps falsely, perhaps not.

Among the many different looks she has in the film are a soft-looking, all-business blonde and a raven-haired femme fatale who easily could be concealing a dagger or a gun.

Which is the real Salt? That's what filmmakers say is the central mystery.

"She's a character you never know," says Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who also produced Transformers and the upcoming G.I. Joe. "People who think they know the real her may or may not. Those who think they can tell whether she's in a disguise also may or may not.

"You're supposed to be kept guessing. She tells you her agenda, but are you supposed to believe it?"

Jolie's character, Evelyn A. Salt, originally was called Edwin A. Salt, back when the role was intended for Tom Cruise, who dropped out last summer. Jolie is a proven action star after the Tomb Raider movies, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Wanted, but di Bonaventura says it wasn't as simple as changing "he" to "she" in the script.

"I had no idea how complex it would be," he says. "We had to rethink the whole notion of how a man vs. a woman operates in the business world, in personal relationship and in friendships."

The film co-stars Liev Schreiber (Defiance) as Winter, her ally and supervisor in the CIA's Russia office, and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Children of Men) as Peabody, a counterintelligence officer who tries to take her down.

Salt is being directed by Phillip Noyce, who made the 1990s-era Jack Ryan films with Harrison Ford, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger.

He promises Salt will be "a reality-based spy movie with action set pieces as thrilling as the most crowd-pleasing movies of this genre."

Comparisons are inevitable. Salt recalls TV's Alias, with its female action hero donning multiple disguises. It also will be measured against the current spy-movie trendsetters: the Daniel Craig reboot of James Bond and Matt Damon's Jason Bourne films.

Di Bonaventura says Salt is different because the character is trying to hide truths about herself rather than discover them. "The question of Jason Bourne is 'Who am I?' " he says. "The question of Salt is, 'We know everything about her, but do we?' (Her pursuers) have a ton of information to act on, but that's where they begin to question what is real and what isn't."

Salt shoots in Washington and New York City. It opens in 2010.

Well, as you can see, the URL for the site now is http://ajolie.hollywood.com/. There has been some trouble with the gallery and if you can't log in you might have to register again to view it, and also I'll be making a MASSIVE UPDATE during the next days, so stay tunned.

I know I haven't updated it for a while, but I've been collecting the updates for so long that I've decided that it's definitely time to make an update after the SAG Awards, the Critics' Choice Awards, the Oscars, and so many photoshoots Angelina had. So... Stand by, cool things coming up. Of course, all images UNTAGGED and WITHOUT WATERMARKS as always. It's just not my style. =)

Meanwhile, you can still watch here for Angelina's latest news and pictures.

Thanks for coming and enjoy your stay!

BEIJING, Feb. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Hollywood star Angelina Jolie says she likes the way she looks now after becoming a mother that made her feel more beautiful and secure, putting to rest rumors about her post-natal depression and marital rifts.

"Something else comes out of you when you become a parent and, as you get older, you start to see more character in your face. Now, when I look at myself, I just see somebody at peace, and I see a mom, and I see my own relatives in my face - and that's a kind of beauty that exists for everybody and doesn't disappear," the actress said.

"I know this is going to sound corny, but I first became happy with the way I look when I became a mother," Jolie said.

"There's this idea that beauty is when someone does your hair and puts a lot of make-up on you and sticks your face on the cover of a magazine. Is that beauty? You know what is beautiful? My mom (French actress Marcheline Bertrand) was beautiful to me, and I look more like my mom as I get older."

Bertrand died last January from ovarian cancer at the age of 56.

Jolie has regained her figure since the birth of her twins in July.

Dispelling rumors about post-natal depression and problems in her relationship with Pitt, she said: "There are things about me that are useful for people to read, and then there's stuff that's just silly. There are mistakes I've made, lessons I've learnt, which I’m happy to talk about. And I'd love to talk to other mothers about things I don’t know how to do."

The actress said she plans to make a film titled "The Mercenary: Love and Honor."

"Brad Pitt and I are trying to balance our lives so that we raise our kids properly, and we are also trying to make sure we are fulfilled - as artists, as people. When we get film offers, we have to ask ourselves, 'Will it be a good thing for the family?'"

The twins must have napped this trip out! And look, Shiloh’s picking her nose and Zahara’s sucking on her thumb again. How cute!!! The girls also share clothes — Shiloh is wearing the same sweater that Zahara last week.

What would a red carpet event be without Hollywood's golden couple? Honestly, the Oscars were as exciting as they were because these two actors were both up for awards at the same time!

Here are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walking down the red carpet of the 81st Academy Awards. Click here to see a few more pictures of the duo from when I was live blogging.

Howdy all!

I am officially on the hunt for new shots and videos. This is the post to leave comments on about tonight's BIG events. Who isn't watching the Academy Awards? Actually, odds are a ton of people aren't... but we all will be glued to the TV, so why not watch the Oscars together?

- When Hugh Jackman pats his chest, it's his way of saying hello to his wife.
- Angie snubbed Ryan? Guess she is still mad about "cold" quote. Brad said it was nice to be nominated amongst friends and talented actors.
- Brad and Angie sitting front row. Hugh said he has to mention them contractually at least 5 times in the show. Pretty fun... probably true too! :)
- Jennifer Aniston looks GREAT - but Brad and Angie are RIGHT there. Wonder if she is feeling the pressure as they are front row. Why do I buy into all of this?!
