Angelina Jolie's '20s 'do in the upcoming Changeling got us thinking about her wide variety of styles, and wondered if there was anyone in Hollywood who can compete with her endlessly expressive, eclectic, and astoundingly mutable hair.
Partner Brad Pitt perhaps?
See who wins in the first-ever Angelina Jolie vs. Brad Pitt Hair-Off.

Fireproof, an independently produced movie starring Kirk "Growing Pains" Cameron as a firefighter whose marriage is about to go up in flames, has now raked in over $13 million at the box office. Typically, a $13 million gross doesn't get your average Hollywood producer burning with envy. But when it only costs $500,000 to produce, well, yes it does! How has Fireproof achieved its success? In part, by keeping production costs down by using a cast and crew made up mainly of church volunteers. (Cameron worked for free too.) Fireproof has also benefited from churches offering free childcare to parents who'd like to see the film.
While we can totally envision a few Hollywood bigshots trying to co-opt the all-volunteer-crew technique, we're not so sure how many would be willing to offer complimentary babysitting services to potential customers. With the exception, of course, of Angelina Jolie, who may even go the Fireproof gang one better and offer to adopt your child if you go see her latest effort, the upcoming Changeling.

Awards Daily is reporting that Angelina Jolie is going to be honored by the Santa Barbara Film Festival with their Outstanding Performance of the Year award for her work in A Mighty Heart. Will this accolade strengthen her chances for the Oscar nod? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, Jolie is setting to work on The Changeling, a true life drama about a woman in 1920s LA who is committed to an asylum and then takes down the corrupt LA politcal system after the police return the wrong child, claiming they have found her missing son.
She will be joined by John Malkovich and Amy Ryan, who is currently getting a lot of buzz for her performance in Gone, Baby, Gone. Clint Eastwood will direct.
