Missing me yet, Mike? Carrie Underwood wears thigh-high stockings and shorts (as her new husband plays hockey)

Thighs the limit: Carrie Underwood performed on the Today show in New York in shorts and over-the-knee stockings


They've been married less than three weeks but Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are already

Carrie Underwood showed her hockey-playing husband Mike Fisher what he's missing during a performance on the Today show in New York.

American Idol winner Underwood, 27, worked a 'naughty schoolgirl' look, in short shorts, a fitted blazer and a loose tie, along with a pair of sexy thigh-high stockings and studded shoe-boots.


These boots were made for walkin': The country singer kept her balance in incredibly high heels


Later she changed into the more casual ensemble of denim shorts and a T-shirt, which showed off her sun-kissed legs.

During the performance of Cowboy Cassanova, Underwood could not resist flashing her new wedding ring at the crowd.

It has been only 19 days since Underwood and Fisher got married, but they have already been parted.


Happily married: Underwood flashes her wedding ring at the crowd


Arriving at LaGuardia airport in New York yesterday in advance of her appearance on The Today Show, Underwood was accompanied by her dog, Ace.

Work commitments mean her hockey player husband Mike Fisher, is in Toronto with his team Ottawa Senators.

American Idol winner Underwood, 27, looked tanned and relaxed in skinny jeans and heels after her honeymoon in Tahiti and didn't seem too concerned that her husband was across the border.


Newlyweds: Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher on honeymoon in Tahiti earlier this month


At least she has a sense of humour about the situation.

Blogging on her official fan club website on Wednesday she wrote: 'Married life is pretty much like dating life.

'My husband is back in Canada...story of my life!'

Fisher has opened up about their wedding to Canadian newspaper the Ottawa Sun.

He told the newspaper: 'The whole weekend is almost like a blur.The ceremony was really nice, the pastor did a great job, the reception was a lot of fun.

'The whole day was great - it was everything we both wanted it to be.'

He added: 'Just to have everyone close to us around was a big deal.

'A wedding's not nearly as much fun without those close family and friends with you.'

The 30-year-old said he didn't suffer from nerves before the ceremony because he was too busy thinking about his wife-to-be, and despite currently being hundreds of miles from Underwood he is enjoying life as a newlywed.


Flying solo: Underwood is currently separated from her hockey player husband who is in Toronto with his team, the Ottawa Senators

He described it as: 'Awesome...I'm with my best friend and I love her to death.
'There's nothing better, for sure.'

Underwood and Fisher married in front of 230 guests at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia on July 10, before heading to the island of Bora Bora on July 12.

At the wedding ceremony Underwood wore two gowns by designer Monique L'Huillier

Christina Hendricks reduces ANOTHER presenter to a gibbering wreck with bath story

Flustered: Brian McFayden tries to get his words out as he interviews Christina Hendricks on Los Angeles breakfast show KTLA News


As sexy secretary Joan Holloway on Mad Men, Christina Hendricks' curvy figure has driven many men to distraction.

But it appears even when the actress is covered up, she is still able to reduce men to a quivering wreck.

Los Angeles news anchor Brian McFayden found himself lost for words when the redhead made a throwaway comment about the bath.


The Tennessee-born beauty, 35, was appearing on breakfast show KTLA to promote the new season of Mad Men, which started in the U.S. last weekend.

Starting the interview, McFayden brought up Hendricks' recent Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

As the nomination is her first ever Emmy nod, McFayden asked her to relive the moment she learned she was up for an award at the September ceremony.

She said: 'I had to be at work really, really early that morning and I was running my bath. I had everything timed out to get every last minute of sleep because it was 5.30 in the morning.'


Awkward: Hendricks laughs politely when McFayden struggles to speak to her


Alluring: Despite covering up her curves in a black blazer, Hendricks still reduces McFayden to a bumbling man


She went on to explain how her publicist phoned her to inform her she had received a nomination and how 'pleasantly surprised' she was.

As McFayden's female co-anchors took over the interview, the 33-year-old remained suspiciously quiet and when it finally came for him to speak, he found himself struggling to get the words out.

After one of his co-hosts mentioned the male and female response to Hendricks' famous curves, MacFayden said: 'I was just gonna say that... I wasn't gonna be like, "Oh, I'm hitting on you," but you've got an amazing body.'


Curvy: Hendricks as Joan Holloway in Mad Men


After she accused him of flirting with the previous guest, he continued: 'I'm saying you're a beautiful woman and I would like... the bath... the way you made... I mean, I'm stumbling on my words... what I'm trying to say, is you were drawing a bath, you're making a bath for yourself and I was just thinking... wow, that's just awesome.'

Hendricks left him further embarrassed when she said: 'That was two conversations ago, but thank you for remembering.'

When one of his female co-hosts jumped in and asked her if she felt a lot of pressure being a sex symbol, he interjected: 'That was what I was trying to say.'
Last week, Hendricks's presence on another TV show got a female presenter all flustered.

Alexandra Wentworth, who was a guest host on The View (the U.S. version of Loose Women), sidled up next to married Hendricks and told her she was her 'girl crush'


Entertaining: Hendricks starts laughing as McFayden attempts to form a sentence

Sneak peek: Sixties favourite Yogi Bear returns to screens in 3D... but critics aren't impressed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TX2jEdwX2cendofvid

By Kelly Hartog

Sneak peek: The new 3D film Yogi Bear sees Dan Aykroyd voicing Yogi and Justin Timberlake voicing Boo Boo


He may have started off as a singer, but Justin Timberlake's undeniable talent has won him praise for everything from acting to producing.

But his golden touch may have let him down when it comes to his latest project - the 3D version of Yogi Bear.

Critics have slated the film following the release of the trailer, saying they 'feel sorry' for the star.


Dan Aykroyd takes on the title role as the voice of Yogi, and Justin Timberlake plays his trusty sidekick Boo Boo in the 3D full-length feature film from Warner Bros.

Combining live-action and CGI, the plot is reflective of these tough economic times.

Mayor Brown decides to sell Jellystone Park because it is losing business - leaving Yogi and Boo Boo homeless.

So they decide to team up with their nemesis Ranger Smith in an effort to save the park.


Helping hands: Yogi and Boo Boo (aka Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake) work together on a project in the trailer from Yogi Bear


The film revamps the 1960's Hana-Barbera animated series with 21st century technology and other stars include Anna Faris, TJ Miller and Tom Cavanagh.
Critics are unimpressed.

'A combination live-action and CGI feature-length Yogi Bear adaptation in 3-D with Dan Aykroyd voicing Yogi and Justin Timberlake doing Boo-Boo: Sounds like a terrible idea, right?' writes New York Magazine.

'Well, here comes the first trailer to ... not at all disabuse you of that notion.


Animation meets live action: Ranger Smith played by Tom Kavanagh chats with Yogi and Boo Boo


'It's been asked a million times about a million other half-baked remakes, but what is the logic behind making a movie adaptation whose target audience is, in the absolute best-case scenario, vaguely aware of the original source material?'
The Washington Post was equally dismissive.

'Just watching the first 30 seconds might make you feel sorry for Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake, Hanna, Barbera, Jellystone Park, Tom Cavanagh and any poor parent forced to pay upward of $8 to sit through 90-minutes-plus of this dumber-than-the-average-animated-fare dreck.'


Official poster: The 3D live animation film will be released in December in America


Yogi Bear is directed by former visual effects supervisor Eric Brevig, who also directed critically-panned 3D Journey to the Center of the Earth.

However, Warner Bros has modelled its 3D Yogi Bear on the same format that saw their two productions of Alvin and the Chipmunks and G-Force bring in huge audiences.

The film is set to be released in the U.S. on December 17. [endtext]

It's dirty work! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rolls around in the rubble on Transformers 3 set

By Daily Mail Reporter

Down and dirty: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was seen lying on a pile of rubble as she filmed a scene in the new Transformers film in Chicago yesterday


Acting can be dirty work, just ask Transformers 3 star Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley.
The model-turned actress was seen lying on a pile of rubble on the Chicago set of the new film yesterday.

Wearing a white hoodie and skinny grey jeans, the 23-year-old star looked rather dishevelled on the set which resembled a disaster scene.


Dishevelled: The British model looked dirty and unkempt


And her co-star Shia LaBeouf, 24, also looked like he had got into a few scrapes, with his face cut and smeared with dirt.

Little has been revealed about the plot, although director Michael Bay has said that the Chicago footage will be featured at the end of the film.

'The city is under alien attack so it's very critical and important to the film's climax,' he told The Chicago Sun Times.

And it seems the heroes of the film - Shia's character Sam and his love interest, played by Rosie, will have even more of a struggle defending the world from the bad robots.


Coffee break: A battered Shia LeBeouf grabs a drink in between takes


'The people in this movie have very few people coming to help them this time,' said the director.

'I like to think of it as the Black Hawk Down version of Transformers - it's much more intimate in terms of what's happening.

'Something bad is happening to America - and this is at the very end of the movie.'

The third film is thought to be the last in the franchise which is a reboot of the much-loved Eighties kids' cartoon in which cars and other vehicles can change, or transform, into robots.


New love: Rosie replaced Megan Fox as Shia's love interest in the film


The film began shooting in Los Angeles before moving to Chicago. It is said to then be heading to Florida, Milwaukee, Indiana and then back to LA.

Rosie was signed up to star after Megan Fox decided to opt out.

The third movie also sees the addition of Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand to the cast.

Transformers 3 is due in cinemas next summer.

Take 35! How Carla kept fluffing her bit part in Woody Allen's film by hogging the camera...again

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNzljOumeDkendofvid

By Daily Mail Reporter

Use your loaf: Owen Wilson and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy on set during the shooting of Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris


As movie sequences go, it is the essence of simplicity.

Attractive woman walks into small grocery store. Attractive woman then exits grocery store clutching baguette.

Alas, the lady tasked with performing the role was Carla Bruni, first lady of France and actress of rather limited experience.

Her director? Woody Allen, perfectionism personified.


Take some direction, sweetie: Director Woody Allen decides it's time to get a little hands on as he offers the French first lady some guidance


Another pause for thought: Carla seems to be pondering her motivation, while Woody is clearly mindful of her bodyguards


Their collaboration in his latest film, Midnight In Paris, duly descended into farce when she was told to perform the same scene a staggering 35 times.

It wasn't a case of Miss Bruni fluffing her lines - she didn't have any. The problem, apparently, was that she kept staring at the camera - as an exasperated Allen and her husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, looked on.

'She seemed to be struggling to avoid looking directly into the camera, which didn't impress Woody,' said an onlooker in Paris. 'The baguette scene could not have been simpler, but she wanted to make it a big one. That's why she had to keep shooting it over and over again.'


Pointed argument: As Woody draws on all of his directorial skill to coach Carla through her scene, it looked like tempers occasionally flared


Don't blame poor Owen: As the light fades, Woody, Carla and now Owen continue to discuss the simple scene


'Woody was prompting Carla constantly, although he was very careful to show a lot of respect, especially as she was surrounded by security guards.'

The scene, shot in the heart of the Left Bank, was finally concluded after a number of animated exchanges between Allen, in fisherman's hat, and Miss Bruni.

Hollywood star Owen Wilson, who appears in the romantic comedy alongside 42-year- old Miss Bruni, was on hand to offer support to the one-time supermodel and pop singer.


Loyal support: Carla - cigarette in hand - is seen talking to her husband, French president Nicolas Sarkozy, as darkness falls on the film set


It is, of course, not the first time she has revealed a tendency to monopolise the camera. On a visit to London last month she turned her full feline charm on the photographers, with a husky 'bonjour'.

She glanced at the lenses at every opportunity, tossing her hai r and l icking her l ips seductively.

Miss Bruni, who plays a museum curator in the Allen movie, had a small role in the 1994 film Pret-a-Porter and the 1998 film Paparazzi, each time playing herself.

In November, when she announced her plans to accept Allen's offer of a role, she said: 'I'm not at all an actress. Maybe I'll be absolutely terrible.'

Hasn't he grown up! Shirtless Zac Efron shows off his toned body on the set of his new film

By Daily Mail Reporter

Toned: Zac Efron showed off his buff physique on a behind-the-scenes featurette for his new movie Charlie St. Cloud


He shot to fame as a teenage heart throb on hit Disney film High School Musical.

But Zac Efron is looking very much the grown up in new pictures which feature the star behind the scenes of his new film Charlie St Cloud.

The 22-year-old star showed he clearly spends a lot of time working out at the gym as he revealed his toned chest and biceps.


Six pack: The star has come a long way since his High School Musical days


The pictures are from a video featurette from new movie Charlie St Cloud where Zac explains a scene he filmed in a massive underground tank.

'It takes up pretty much the whole stage,' Zac says. 'Underwater, there’s this system, but you can actually hear voices underwater! I have no idea how it works.'
'It’s a lot of stuff you wouldn’t have to expect to have to deal with.

'When there’s elements involved like swimming through murky water, getting a certain piece of your vest snagged, very precise movements, it’s hard to hold your breath.'


Water baby: Zac Efron dons a harness as he prepares to enter the water


In the film, Zac plays a teenager who has to choose between keeping a promise he made to his brother, who died in a car accident, or trying to get the girl he loves.

Since the end of High School Musical, Zac has taken on a variety of different roles, including comedy 17 Again and drama Me And Orson Welles.

In fact, Zac was so determined to take his career in a new direction, he is said to have turned down the lead role in the remake of 1980s movie Footloose to star in Charlie St. Cloud.


Diving in: Zac braved the elements to play the role of Charlie St Cloud


Splashdown: The actor had to film scenes in a massive underwater tank


‘It's just something different. I just knew what I had to do personally and that was slow down and really do something that was a challenge,’ he said at the film's Los Angeles premiere.

'I wanted to do something that was really hard, see how far I can go,' he added.

'It feels more suspenseful, mysterious and supernatural. It is a much more emotional role.

'I hope it serves as a memorable transition into older, more complex characters.'

Bieber fever: But if you want to outrun a horde of hysterical girls, Justin, maybe you should pick something faster than a Segway

Bieber mania! Justin Bieber was chased down by hordes of crazed teenage girls in Glendale, Arizona last Sunday


Bieber mania has hit the States!

It was like a scene from the 1964 Beatles movie Hard Day's Night as legions of Beliebers hunted and chased down their pop idol on the street.

The 16-year-old tried to escape, zipping off on a Segway, but to no avail and he was eventually cornered by his crazed fans.


Trying to escape: Bieber attempted to make a run for it aboard his Segway


Bieber had been enjoying a little downtime with some friends when he was spotted by a group of teenage girls last Sunday.

The singer was riding around the Westgate market place on his Segway in Glendale, Arizona, where he was scheduled to perform as part of his My World tour.

Despite his best attempts at escape, when he was caught Bieber was a good sport, taking the time to pose for pictures and sign autographs.

All the crazy action was caught by an onlooker on his phone who then posted the hilarious video on You Tube.

Bieber's fans are known for being particularly passionate when it comes to the pursuit of their idol.


In hot pursuit: Bieber's fans are not ones to give up the chase


When promoting his album My World, the teen sensation was scheduled to appear at Long Island's Roosevelt Field Mall but the event had to be cancelled after the crowds became so out of control.

More than 35 units from the Nassau County and Garden City police departments had to be deployed and fans were physically injured.

Then just last April a scheduled performance by Bieber was cancelled by Australian police after several girls were hurt in a crowd rush.

In a Twitter message after the cancellation Bieber wrote: 'I want to make this clear...I don't cancel.

'I woke up this morning to the police cancelling the show for safety reasons. I'm very happy about the welcome and the love from around the world, but I want everyone to remember that my fans' safety comes first.

'At the end of the day I want you all to enjoy the music.'


Cornered: Bieber's fans won through in the end, cornering the star, who posed for photos and signed autographs


Hard Day's Night: The Beatles were chased by crazed fans in the opening scene of their 1964 hit movie


The singer's tour has been a sell-out success, forcing him to add a second leg, with shows scheduled until Christmas.

Bieber mania is rife with the star's fans turning out in their droves to catch a glimpse of the fresh-faced heart-throb.

The performer is taking fame in his stride, though. He recently told The Today Show's Matt lauer: 'It's pretty crazy that now I go out and I'm always asked for autographs and stuff, but it's kind of what I signed up for.'

And Bieber's determined to not be a flash in the pan, going on to say: 'I want to be an artist that doesn't just come out with one song and they're done.

'I want to be able to, you know, like you said, have longevity - have my fans grow with me and not just be a teen artist but kind of move up and be an adult artist.'


Acting chops: Bieber will be appearing as a teen delinquent in an upcoming episode of the crime drama CSI


The Canadian-born teen was discovered by music manager Scooter Braun after he spotted some performances that Bieber had posted on You Tube.

Braun is well known in the hip hop community, having represented Snoop Dogg, Kevin Federline and Asher Roth.

He introduced Bieber to R&B superstar Usher who signed him to his label, subsequently landing Bieber with a recording contract with Island records.

Bieber is currently branching out, making a foray into acting. He is set to appear in an upcoming episode of the crime drama CSI, playing a teen delinquent.

True to form Twitter addict Bieber posted pictures of himself on set, along with the message: 'BIG DAY today....excited. doing something new.

'CSI premieres on Thursday, Sept 23rd on CBS ... and I told you I was a BAD MAN!!'

Katie Price lands herself in more controversy as she says divorced children are 'lucky'

Summer read: Katie Price launches her new book Paradise at HMV in London today surrounded by muscular, half-naked men


She's not exactly known for choosing her words carefully.

But even Katie Price may have gone too far this time when she said children that come from divorced families are 'lucky'.

Appearing on This Morning yesterday, the glamour model said they were probably better off than those whose parents were still together as they got 'extra' presents.

Speaking to hosts Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Katie, who was at HMV in London today to launch her new book Paradise, said: 'Any child that has parents who are divorced are lucky. They get extra Christmas presents, birthday presents and extra trips.'

And she added that she was glad that she split from Peter Andre while her children - Harvey, seven, Junior, five and three-year-old Princess - were young, as they will 'forget' about the split when they are older.


Number one: Katie sticks her finger up in the hope her book will do well, before throwing a sexy pose to the camera


She said:: 'I revert back to when my mum and dad split up. I was three or four and I can't even remember it.

'So really it was good it happened at that age because if it had happened when the kids were a bit older then I think it probably could have affected them.'

Katie, 32, who appeared on the show to promote her new book, then compared herself to a 'chipmunk' after a recent bout of Botox.

She said: 'I look like a chipmunk today!


Lucky: Katie Price, appearing on This Morning yesterday, said children from divorced families are on to a winner


Sofa chat: Katie talks to Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford about divorce, her pop career and Botox


'Do you know, on my Hen we all had filler, Botox, lip, and I said, "No, I’m not doing it again!" They’re like, "Oh we did Kate", and I’m like, "Oh go on, I’ll have a little bit."

'But when I had it done… it looked awful but it’s all going down now. The thing is, it doesn’t last forever which is good. But no, I still look like a chipmunk.

'Yeah, it’s mad, but then I blame my friends and my family because we all did it.'


Furry rodent: Katie said a recent Botox treatment had left her looking like a 'chipmunk'


Katie then went on to declare that that she plans to carry on singing and wants to release another single - despite her recent one being a huge chart flop.

She said: 'I am going to bring out something again. I don’t want to do music as a career, but I love singing. I’m not a singer but I love doing it.'

And Katie, whose latest book is book is the number one fiction hard back seller after less than a week on sale, slammed her critics who said her popularity is on the decline.

She said: 'I think it’s absolute nonsense. My signings – I did one on Saturday for my equestrian range – it was absolutely packed, it was brilliant, it was fantastic.

Everything’s up, my books are selling really well. But you know, it’s the dramas that the papers write.'


Extra presents: Katie, seen here with daughter Princess last week, said she is lucky as she gets two Christmases and two birthdays

Katy Perry is a technicolour dreamboat in PVC underwear

[starttext]
Bright and bold: Katy Perry shows off her enviable figure in PVC underwear in new promotional pictures for her new album, Teenage Dream


She has never been one to fade into the background.

And Katy Perry certainly stands out in the promotional pictures from her new album, 'Teenage Dream.'

Wearing a bright blue wig and PVC underwear, the 25-year-old singer is likely to achieve a place in the thoughts of adolescent boys everywhere, as the album title suggests.

In another photo Perry, wearing a cropped tasselled T-shirt with her home state California emblazoned on the front and leather hot-pants, she looks like a hippy Barbie of the future.

She even shows off the upper arm tattoo that matches her fiancé Russell Brand's.
When talking about the making of the album,which was done with the help of mega-star producers such as Dr Luke and Max Martin, Perry suggests that she had to fight to get what she wanted.

'I'm in the studio fighting with them to change the melody, or I'm fighting for the best lyric at all times,' she said in a recent interview with Billboard.

'I think we rewrote "Teenage Dream" five times for 10 days straight. On the last day, I was so happy to finally get somewhere that we all agreed on.'


Hippy chic: The California Gurls singer combines flowers in her hair with leather hot pants


Of her upcoming nuptials to Brand and subsequent bachelorette party, Katy's best friend, singer Rihanna, said: 'It’s so much pressure. Her wedding is probably going to be the best wedding I’ll ever go to and now I have to match the bachelorette party to that.'

'It’s taking up way more time than my tour,' Rihanna laughed to Access Hollywood.

Rihanna suggested: 'I could have balloons and Disney characters there and she’ll still make it wild. That’s just Katy Perry. There’s no way around that with her.'

Perry and Brand, 35, became engaged on a Christmas holiday to India last year and are expected to wed later this year.

Angelina Jolie shows off her stunning legs in split-to-the-thigh dress at Salt premiere in Tokyo (shame about the veiny arms)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV9oW9PhId4endofvid

By Chris Johnson

Walking tall: Angelina Jolie and her never-ending legs hit the red carpet for the premiere of Salt in Tokyo today


As she confidently strode onto the red carpet, to all intents and purposes Angelina Jolie was the epitome of Hollywood glamour.

The 35-year-old actress caused a frenzy at the Tokyo premiere of her new movie Salt, wearing a flowing black Versace chiffon dress, slashed provocatively to the hip and showing off her stunning legs.

However on closer inspection, the revealing outfit laid bare here sinewy arms, which were lined with bulging veins, suggesting the star had, perhaps, been working a little too hard at the gym.

Wearing her hair in a stylish updo, the svelte celeb teamed the backless design - which revealed her many tattoos - with a pair of towering heels.

The effect drew even more attention to her never-ending legs, but up close her many fans could not have failed to have noticed her Madonna-like arms.


Hollywood glamour: The star looked stunning in the design which she teamed with towering peep-toe heels


The assembled throng of fans waited hours in the sweltering 35C heat and humidity just to catch a glimpse of the star.

Angelina attended the Tokyo International Forum for the Japanese premiere of Salt and by the time she arrived at 7pm local time (11am BST), the hundreds of supporters erupted into deafening screams as she began signing autographs.

Over the weekend Angelina, who has six children with her long-term boyfriend Brad Pitt, was in Russia promoting the movie, in which she plays a woman called Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a KGB spy and then goes on the run.


Oh dear: But the revealing outfit showed off the actress's veiny, Madonna-like arms, suggesting she had been working out a little to hard at the gym


Dress slashed to the hip: The backless design showed off her many tattoos. Jolie plays a secret agent in the spy thriller


Today she brushed off rumours about shaky relations with Pitt, 46.

'He was just a wonderful father,' she said of Pitt, during work on the film. 'He often brought the children to the set,' she added.

'They played with fake blood, and they found mommy very strange in her different hair,' she said.

Pitt and Jolie have been partners since they began a relationship while working on the 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith.


Meet and greet: The assembled crowed erupted into a fervour as the star made her entrance


Last week, Pitt and Jolie accepted undisclosed damages in London's High Court to settle a privacy claim against a News of the World article that had reported in January that they were planning to split.

Asked about her ability to work and maintain a happy family, Jolie told reporters at a Tokyo hotel: 'Brad is the word that makes it possible.'

Jolie, who arrived yesterday, brought four of the children along on the Japan trip. They have already spent some time shopping for toys inspired by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki's animation characters Ponyo and Totoro, she said.


Going wild: The assembled throng take photos of Jolie as she signs autographs - while security staff help to contain the fans


She acknowledged she once surprised her eight-year-old son Maddox with her disguise as a male naval officer in Salt.

He came into the room and reluctantly shook hands with the person he did not know was his mother.

'And I said, 'Honey, it's mommy,'' Jolie said.

'I think I freaked him out,' she said with a laugh, adding that he then watched her peel off her fake ears, hands and nose.

'I play these roles, but I'm always in every minute their mom first,' she said. 'I'm a bit of a goofy. I'm funny at home, I think.'

Her children are not going to be seeing the movie, however.

'I think it's very hard for them to see someone trying to kill their mom, even if she wins,' she said
