Cast member Brad Pitt and actress Angelina Jolie pose at the premiere of "The Tree of Life" at LACMA in Los Angeles May 24, 2011. The movie opens limitedly in the U.S. on May 27.

GLASGOW -- Scottish fans of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie described their disappointment Wednesday after the movie star couple, who chartered an entire train to travel from London, shunned waiting crowds and sent a Pitt-lookalike to fool them.
Fans gathered at Glasgow Central station Tuesday in the hope of catching a glimpse of the Hollywood A-listers, who traveled to the Scottish city to film parts of Pitts' latest movie "World War Z."
Pitt, 47, Jolie, 36, and kids Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne arrived at the station in a specially-chartered train, but dodged waiting fans by climbing straight into a blacked-out Mercedes waiting on the platform, Scottish newspaper the Daily Record reported.
A Pitt-lookalike was sent down the platform to try fool onlookers -- some of whom had waited hours for a glimpse of the family, according to the newspaper.
A large area of the station was cordoned off and a 14-vehicle motorcade was allowed on the platform to meet the Jolie-Pitts and their huge entourage of security guards and film crews.
Lauren Campbell, 19, told the Scotsman newspaper the Jolie-Pitts arrival was "an anti-climax."
She said, "I'm really disappointed. Everybody was here to see Brad and he didn't even wave. It was totally disappointing."
Pitt will spend the next two weeks filming scenes for his new zombie movie in Glasgow, parts of which were transformed to resemble Philadelphia, complete with yellow taxis and traffic lights, US-style road signs and American cars.
World War Z -- a movie about a zombie apocalypse -- is due out next year.

From the Real Hustle to Hustler-style shoot for Jessica-Jane Clement whose ideal man is 'bearded and scruffy'

She's usually seen in a number of disguises in an attempt to swindle money out of unsuspecting members of the public.
But TV presenter Jessica-Jane Clement has opened up about her personal life in this sexy interview for lads' mag Nuts.
The 26-year-old, aka 'The Sexy Swindler' stripped off to her underwear for the cover shoot, with a tiny shawl around her arms that didn't cover much else.

Jessica-Jane, who co-hosts the BBC's The Real Hustle, which shows how members of the public can fall victim to scams, revealed who she would choose if she was forced to kiss an ugly man.

 
'Ugly to me is a man who is orange, plucked, shaved, waxed, buff, shiny, whiny, gelled, greasy and vain. So I would pick one of the Geordie Shore boys.'
She added that she preferred 'rugged, bearded, scruffy' men' like her current boyfriend, celebrity hairdresser, Lee Stafford, who, at 44, is 18 years her senior.

And she said she hated not being treated well in a relationship.
'I broke up with a guy once because he didn't pay for my ice lolly when buying his own. I know that sounds shallow, but I really think it was a sign of things to come.'
Jessica-Jane features in the magazine relaunch this week, which was reportedly backed by a £500,000 marketing campaign.

Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel struggles to contain her ample assets

Victoria's Secret Model Candice Swanepoel certainly cannot be accused of being shy about flaunting her body.
The curvy blonde adjusted her ample assets as they poured out of a neon green bikini top, yesterday on a beach in St Barts, the South of France, but struggled to contain them.
The top was paired with multi-coloured bikini bottoms as the 22-year-old South African beauty showed off her incredible figure in the tiny two piece.

Candice is in France shooting a new campaign for the lingerie giant, which will feature her in a series of different swimsuits.
She pulled off the obligatory model poses and appeared to be having fun with the shoot - messing about in the water and pretending to throw some seaweed for one humorous shot.
Candice looked tanned and toned in the swimwear, and appeared to have put the controversy she caused over her once-shockingly slim frame behind her.

The pretty blonde later came forward to blame her busy schedule for her weight loss, insisting she hadn't deliberately tried to slim down.
She explained: 'Actually, this year my problem has been more putting the weight on and getting muscle on because it's been really busy.
'I've been travelling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I'm very busy.'

But Candice looked back to her healthy best as she took part in the new campaign and said in a recent interview that she works hard to maintain her figure.
Candice is currently one of the world's most successful models, earning an estimated $3 million in the past 12 months.
And it's certainly not hard to see why she has reached such a high level of success in the modelling world.

She said: 'I’ve been working out for so many years that my body is kinda like a machine. Just staying healthy, drinking a lot of water. I do boxing, resistance training.
'It’s really physical our jobs, yet people don’t realise it. I mean, if you feel healthy and happy with yourselves that’s all that matters, people are going to say things for reasons we don’t know, just focus on yourself and what you’re doing.'

JLo-Anthony split over Scientology row

London: The reason for their split is still unknown, but Jennifer Lopez's commitment to Scientology was reportedly a bone of contention between the Hollywood actress and her husband, Marc Anthony.
Lopez, 42 - who called off her seven-year marriage to Anthony last month - was hoping to send the couple's three-year-old twins Max and Emme to a specialist Scientology school.
But Anthony, also 42, wasn't so keen on the idea, reported Daily Mail.
A source close to the couple said, "Jennifer and Marc couldn't see eye-to-eye on the subject. She's always been more into the church than him. He wasn't a huge fan and it caused problems."
The 'On the Floor' hitmaker is close friends with Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes, who are also staunch Scientologists.
She had previously expressed her desire to educate her twins by the church and said, "I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."

Angelina Jolie beams broadly she touches down in a chopper after rendezvous with Brad Pitt

She left south west London looking distinctly gloomy yesterday as she took a break from her brood and flew out of the capital in a helicopter.
But Angelina Jolie showed she couldn't stay apart from her six children for long and the 36-year-old returned to Richmond in the silver aircraft today - and was beaming from ear to ear as she touched down.

It wasn't clear however whether the Tomb Raider actress was grinning with the joy of being reunited with her boyfriend Brad Pitt last night, or being back together with all her children.

Angelina seemed to be wearing an identical all-black outfit today as she was for her flight out yesterday.

 
She both left and arrived at the helipad in black jeans and a jumper with dark glasses a pair of nude wedges - but with a much bigger grin on her face.
Brad was later seen arriving back in Richmond in the afternoon, also looking very pleased with himself.

The family are currently renting a home in the leafy London suburb and have been photographed enjoying all that the area has to offer in recent weeks with trips to the aquarium, Richmond's Pottery cafe and an evening out watching Wicked at the theatre.
Angelina looked ready for a rest when she flew off yesterday, travelling light and carrying her own Louis Vuitton luggage.
Today, she was all smiles as she left the helicopter and got into her car, even waving at photographers.

She appeared refreshed but glad to be heading home to Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.
The star said recently that she intends to continue appearing in action movies - because it will impress her children.
'The funny thing about having children is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it,' she admitted.
'I'm very responsible these days not to be self-destructive because of my kids, but at the same time I have all the more reason to do all the cool things possible because I want to try and make my kids proud.'

  • Sheen's character to die, reports claim
  • Kutcher will play internet billionaire on show
Fans of Two and a Half Men will bid farewell to Charlie Sheen's character in a dramatic fashion with the first episode of the new series featuring his funeral, FOXNews.com reports.
According to spoilers reported by Deadline Hollywood, the season premiere will be in two parts and will open with Charlie Harper's funeral.
In the episode, the many women from Harper's past will attend the funeral, and his Malibu bachelor pad will be put on the market.
Several real-life celebrities from producer Chuck Lorre's other shows will consider purchasing the (fictional) multimillion-dollar property. Another potential buyer includes Sheen's replacement, Ashton Kutcher.
Kutcher will play an "internet billionaire with a broken heart" on the new season of Two and a Half Men, CBS has revealed.
The 33-year-old will portray a character named Walden Schmidt when he takes over the lead role left vacant after Charlie Sheen was dumped from the sitcom in March.
The new character, unlike Sheen's role of Charlie Harper, shares no family relation to the other characters, Tassler told reporters, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Producers are endeavouring to keep other plot points under wraps with only the show's main players attending rehearsals.
In an attempt to halt leaks, audience members will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, as well as taping several key scenes with no audience at all.
The first episode featuring Kutcher will be taped in front of a live audience on later this week in Los Angeles and will go to air in the US in September.
