Angelina Jolie drops in on war crimes trial on way to Cannes

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie made a stopover on her way to Cannes to attend a war crimes trial in The Hague.

Jolie – a goodwill ambassador for the UN refugee agency – sat courtside at the International Criminal Court trial of warlord Thomas Lubanga, who is accused of recruiting and using child soldiers in his Congolese militia.

Jolie said: “Children deserve special protection. Using children in conflict is a heinous crime and destroys the very fabric of a society.

“After watching the proceedings from the viewing booth, I stood up and found Thomas Lubanga Dyilo looking at me.

“I imagined how difficult it must be for all the brave young children who have come to testify against him.”

The actress is scheduled to attend the Cannes Film Festival tomorrow in France for the debut of Brad Pitt’s film Inglourious Basterds.

Chloe Sevigny admits she wouldn’t want to be famous now as young people have a “real cockiness” about them

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Chloe Sevigny admits she wouldn’t want to be famous now as young people have a “real cockiness” about them.

The Oscar-nominated actress made her film debut in the low-budget flick Kids in 1995 when she was just 19 years old.

Chloe said: “I’d never want to become famous now.”

She added: “I feel like there’s a real cockiness with young people today. Maybe it’s protective, a shell.”

She added: “But the new celeb daughters and sons, the pop stars, are wise beyond their years.”

Chloe might only be 34 years old but she admitted she has to start thinking about dressing her age.

She said: “I saw these laced Doc Martens, and I was like, ‘I can’t wear those, I’m 34!’”

She added: “Things like that are completely inappropriate. I’ll have to wait until I’m 75, then start wearing them again… ”
