Angelina Jolie Glows in Ivory Pantsuit to Promote Her Film Unbroken at Las Vegas Event

Angelina Jolie attracted the light the moment she walked on stage during this event at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old actress - who recently disclosed that she plans to undergo more cancer-prevention surgery - was a regal figure in a flowing ivory trouser and jacket set.
The material shrouded her willowy and somewhat fragile frame expertly and the ensemble was complimented by buff-coloured pumps that peeked from the folds of her flaring trousers.

Glowing: Angelina Jolie made a rare and gorgeous outing to attend the Universal Studios presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday

She addressed the audience during The State of the Industry: Past, Present and Future and Universal Studios Presentation, which is part of CinemaCon.

Angelina was there to talk about her film Unbroken, the dramatic biopic that tells the life of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who was imprisoned by the Japanese forces during World War II.
'I wanted to make this film because in the end its message is one that we all need now more than ever,' Angelina said, adding: 'It’s the journey of man finding his way through the darkness and into the light.'

You Don’t have to be a Bond Villain to be a Billionaire, but it Helps . . .CHRISTOPHER STEVENS on Last Night's TV

Wise heads say that money is important only when you haven’t got any — there are other kinds of wealth that matter so much more.

The wise heads are talking twaddle, as a simple experiment proves: accost the first person you see today who looks moderately solvent, and ask them to lend you 50 quid till Thursday. The money, since they appear to possess an elegant sufficiency of the stuff, shouldn’t be a problem.

But there will be problems,  intractable ones. You’d have more luck finding someone in the street willing to donate you a kidney than lend you ‘half a ton’. And if anybody does say yes, run: you’ve been sized up by a payday shark who will arrange the loan at 4,500 per cent and come calling for ten grand  or your kneecaps at the end of the month.

If I was a rich man: How to Be A Billionaire's Naveen Jain, the Indian entrepreneur

Even the ultra-rich can never feel relaxed about money. In fact, as How To Be A Billionaire (Channel 4) revealed, they are obsessed with spending it in ways that emphasise its importance. Money matters, and therefore vast sums must matter vastly.

Indian multi-billionaire Naveen Jain, for instance, rises at 4.30am every day to tackle his emails. His money is so important, it won’t even let him sleep. Jain is investing his fortune in a space programme that will establish a commercial route to the moon within ten years.

This venture, he believes, will make him trillions of dollars. Jain didn’t spell out why a moon link would be so lucrative, but he did own a large collection of space rocks, so perhaps he plans to start quarrying.

He did have a pre-packaged answer to the title question: if you want to make a billion, solve a $10 billion problem and take a ten per cent fee. But the documentary wasn’t really interested in analysing the mechanics of making a mint — it just enjoyed looking at these people and relishing how odd they were.

Jain worked hard at appearing humble and sane, but in unguarded moments he looked like a Bond  villain planning his latest nuclear arsenal inside a volcano.

QUALITY TIME OF THE WEEK

Graham Linehan opened his new sitcom Meet The Walshes (BBC2) with a truly funny moment. As twenty-something Ciara was trying to enjoy a candlelit soak, her mother was banging on the door: ‘What do you want the light off for when you’re in the bath? You’ll drown!’

When he explained how his financial muscle made him an unstoppable force on the meteorite market, a manic giggle was gurgling in the back of his throat.

At least he enjoyed his cash.  Russian media mogul Dmitry Itskov looked utterly miserable. He spent his life traipsing from one anonymous hotel room to the next, with no friends, no family, and only an illusion of electronic immortality to keep him company.

Dmitry was spending his billions on brain transplant research, with the goal of ‘uploading his consciousness’. He didn’t seem to be getting much for his money — shoddy robotic heads, bad video graphics and flakey hangers-on who didn’t sound very convincing when they told him: ‘I don’t think you’re crazy, I think you’ve got a vision.’

Russians are meant to be depressive, of course, but Dmitry was working too hard at it.
As he checked into another  low-budget hotel, you couldn’t help feeling he’d have been  happier as a travelling shoe salesman — at least he’d have sensible targets to meet.

Holiday Hit Squad with Joe Crowley, Angela Rippon and Helen Skelton

He should check into the L’Ambiance hotel in Bodrum, Turkey: it might cure him of his fondness for cheap accommodation. Joe Crowley of Holiday Hit Squad (BBC One) paid a visit, and found a resort that could make a Russian gulag look inviting.

The pool was so polluted that you couldn’t see the bottom. Puddles of vomit were encrusted on the patio. Open sewers ran under rusting manhole covers.

And the kitchen was worse. Every hygiene crime you’ve ever pictured in your worst nightmare of a foreign holiday was committed here — leftovers reheated day after day, vats of food lying open on shelves, unsealed tins growing mould in the cupboard. When the brochure said meals were all-inclusive, it didn’t say that what they included was every bacteria known to science.

Holiday Hit Squad is overlong, an hour of flaccid griping that ought, at most, to be 30 minutes of pungent consumer journalism.

But at least it showed us why Naveen Jain is right to head for the moon. Anywhere’s better than Bodrum.

Louise Thompson shows off her glowing orange skin tone at Vision Express product launch

She had a certain zest about her as she arrived at the Oxford Street branch of Vision Express on Tuesday evening – and it had nothing to do with the Heston Blumenthal product launch she was attending.
Indeed, Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson appeared to be a rather vibrant shade of orange as she posed for photos, a pair of spectacles from Heston’s new Spring/Summer range balanced on the bridge of her nose.
The 24-year-old reality star’s skin tone had certainly darkened since her last public outing just six days previously, at the Ottoline store launch on London’s Portobello Road.

Steady on: Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson shows off her darker skin town at the Vision Express launch on Oxford Street on Tuesday evening

Her orange hue was offset by a minty leather jacket, while a pair of skinny black trousers and strappy heels rounded off a distinctly casual ensemble.

Louise was joined at the event by former Strictly Come dancing judge Arlene Phillips, and the 70-year-old stood out in a sleek black trouser suit and conventional flats.
Also on hand to celebrate the launch of celebrity chef Heston’s latest venture with the high street optician was English soprano Laura Wright.

Single lady Nigella Lawson enjoys a rare night out as she attends opening night of Fatal Attraction

She's been a notable absence from the London social scene over the past year following her high-profile split from ex-husband Charles Saatchi.
However, Nigella Lawson made a return to the red carpet on Tuesday night as she attended the opening night of the new theatre production of Fatal Attraction.
The TV cook, 54, wore her signature black as she joined a host of stars at the Theatre Royal Haymarket for the stage adaptation of the classic '80s thriller.

Splash of colour: Nigella brightened up her dark outfit with a fuchsia clutch bag

The mother-of-two looked sleek in a black pencil dress, cropped jacket and Christian Louboutin heels, adding a splash of colour with a pink clutch bag.
Smiling widely for cameras, it marked the return of Nigella to the red carpet following her testimony at the explosive trial of her former personal assistants Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo.
Nigella admitted to using cocaine and cannabis in court at the trial, where the Grillo sisters had been
accused of spending £685,000 on credit cards given to them by Nigella and her ex-husband, but were acquitted.

Emma Watson looks svelte in fitted trouser suit as she fulfills promotional commitment for controversial new movie Noah

Her new blockbuster movie has already generated criticism, some two weeks before its official release – but actress Emma Watson won only praise as she fulfilled another promotional commitment for forthcoming biblical epic Noah on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old star was making an appearance at New York’s iconic Ed Sullivan Theatre, home of The Late Show With David Letterman – where she was interviewed by the genial host about her latest role.
Emma looked vaguely androgynous in a smart black trouser suit and crisp white shirt as she posed for photos outside the studio doors, and the fitted ensemble – in particular the skinny ‘cigarette pant’ trousers – complimented her slender frame.

The British actress’s look was completed with stylish aplomb courtesy of
her glossy black stiletto heels, while accessories were tasteful in their scarcity, with Emma opting only for a silver clutch, simple earrings and a series of subtle rings.
With her hair tightly pulled across her head Emma’s generous application of make-up was pushed to the fore, and her dramatic slash of blood red lipstick gave an otherwise neutral look an added splash of colour.
The actress joins a star-studded ensemble cast in Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, a religious epic based around Noah’s Ark from The Book Of Genesis, with Russell Crowe playing the fabled biblical figure.

Cindy Crawford, 48, slips into plunging black swimsuit for new Omega campaign

She's the face of Omega watches.
But Cindy Crawford easily distracted from the the time-telling accessories in the Swiss brand's latest campaign.
To promote the company's Spring/Summer 2014 collection, the 48-year-old model is clad in a plunging swimsuit and leaves little to the imagination.

What's the focus? Cindy Crawford showed off her sizzling figure in the latest campaign for Omega watches

Youthful: The model appeared ageless in the steamy series

The steamy series showcases the original supermodel in a seductive state of mind as she caresses her body and brushes her fingers through her hair.
Though she's decked out in ornate watches, they're hardly the focus of the sultry shoot done by Bruno Dayan.
Even years after rising to fame in the 80s, Cindy is the epitome of youth in the dusk snaps.

Kim Kardashian shows off her black bra and Bridget Jones-style underwear in a sheer lace dress

She is known to often show off her bra in sheer tops.
But Kim Kardashian went the whole box and dice when she flashed both her brassiere and underpants in a grey lace shift dress in New York on Tuesday.
However, the 33-year-old reality star's lingerie was not as sexy as one might think she would wear, as she proudly flaunted a pair of high-waisted Bridget Jones-style underpants.

Sheer daring: Kim Kardashian showed off her black bra and high-waisted underpants in a lace grey dress as she stepped out in New York on Tuesday

Kim let her daring dress do all of the talking by teaming the attire with just once accessory, a pair of glamorous gold strappy heels.


Her raven locks were coiffed in a straight style, out, and tucked behind her ears.
The mother-of-one wore her signature smokey eye and nude lip combination for makeup, as well as a heavily application of powder on her complexion.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin are separating after 10 years of marriage, they have announced today.
The actress broke the news on her Goop lifestyle website, writing: 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.'
Gwyneth, 41, and Coldplay frontman Chris, 37, have two children, and in their emotional, somewhat bizarrely entitled, statement called 'Conscious Uncoupling', they admitted they had spent more than a year battling to save their marriage.
They wrote: 'We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.

Split: Rarely photographed couple Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin - seen here at Sean Penn & Friends HELP HAITI HOME event on January 11th this year - have announced their 10-year-marriage has come to an end

'Our hearts are full of sadness': The couple announced the separation on Goop, causing the website to crash

'We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been.
'We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.
The couple are said to have escaped to Eleuthera in the Bahamas with their children before the announcement was made on Gwyneth's website.

Indian Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Bollywood)

Aishwarya Rai (born 1 November 1973), also known as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is an Indian film actress and model. She was the first runner-up of the Miss India pageant, and the winner of the Miss World pageant of 1994. She is a leading contemporary actress of Indian cinema and has received two Filmfare Awards, two Screen Awards, and two IIFA Awards for her performances in Hindi language films of Bollywood. Rai is regarded as one of the most popular and influential celebrities in India, and is often cited in the media as the "most beautiful woman in the world".

Rai made her acting debut in the 1997 biographical film Iruvar and starred in the commercially successful 1998 film Jeans. She earned wide public recognition and Best Actress awards at Filmfare for her leading roles in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 1999 melodrama Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and the 2002 period film Devdas. She gained critical appreciation for her portrayal of Tagore's heroine Binodini in Rituparno Ghosh's 2003 film Chokher Bali, and a depressed woman in Ghosh's 2004 relationship drama Raincoat. Following a series of commercially unsuccessful films, Rai featured in the 2006 blockbuster adventure film Dhoom 2, the 2008 historical romance Jodhaa Akbar, and the 2010 science fiction film Enthiran. She garnered wide critical acclaim for her work in Bhansali's 2010 romantic drama Guzaarish.

Following a tumultuous relationship with actor Salman Khan, Rai married actor Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. Her off-screen roles include duties as a brand ambassador for several charity organisations and campaigns; she is a Goodwill Ambassador for the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). She was awarded with the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2009, and the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the Government of France in 2012.

Rai was born into a Bunt family in Mangalore, Karnataka. Her father, Krishnaraj, was a marine biologist, while her mother, Brinda, is a housewife. She has one elder brother, Aditya Rai, who is an engineer in the merchant navy. He co-produced one of her movies, Dil Ka Rishta (2003). Rai's values and lifestyle were influenced by her family, and even as her fame continues to rise, she holds strong to a religious, value-based life, influenced early on by her parents.

The family moved to Mumbai, where Rai attended the Arya Vidya Mandir High School. Rai did her intermediate schooling at Jai Hind College for a year, and then joined DG Ruparel College in Matunga, securing 90 percent in the HSC exams. She trained in classical dance and music for five years during her teens. Her favourite subject was zoology, so she initially considered a career in medicine but was unsuccessful later on. Then with plans to become an architect, she enrolled at Raheja College of Arts., but later gave up her education to pursue a career in modelling. In 1991, Rai won a supermodel contest (organised by Ford) and was eventually featured in the American edition of Vogue.

In 1993, Rai gained public recognition for her appearance in a Pepsi commercial with actor Aamir Khan. In the 1994 Miss India pageant, she won second place, behind Sushmita Sen, and was crowned Miss India World. With Sen representing India at the Miss Universe pageant, Aishwarya's duties as the first runner-up included representing India in the rival Miss World Pageant, held that year in Sun City, South Africa. She went on to win the crown where she also won the "Miss Photogenic" award and Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty − Asia & Oceania. After winning the pageant, Rai spoke of her dream for peace for this world, and her desire to be an ambassador of peace during her one-year reign in London. Rai continued to pursue a career as a model until she became an actress.

What happened when a blonde woman in a sexy pink top walks through a Cairo university campus? Viral video captures crowds of baying men swarming around female

Cairo University students reportedly tried to rip the clothes off a blonde woman as she walked across the campus, sparking outrage across the nation.

The unnamed woman, who was wearing a long-sleeved pink top and fitted black jeans, was recently filmed being abused by a large group of male students as she made her way through the university, one of Egypt’s largest.

The men, some of whom were reportedly law students, went wild, wolf-whistling and jeering as she hurried to get away from them.

Caught on camera: Male students were filmed jeering and wolf-whistling as a blonde woman walked across Cairo University campus - with a campaigner claiming they went on to try and undress her

Reaction: University dean Gaber Nassar said the student's outfit, which he described as 'a bit unconventional', led to the harassment - but he added that he wasn't justifying the incident

Intimidating: The blonde woman was surrounded by men

 

Blonde girl subjected to catcalls and abuse at Cairo university

Fathi Farid, a member of the ‘I saw harassment’ anti-sexual harassment group, said male students had verbally attacked the woman and attempted to undress her, according to AFP.

University dean Gaber Nassar said the student's outfit, which he described as ‘a bit unconventional,’ led to the harassment, quickly adding that he was not justifying the incident.

‘This girl entered the university wearing an abaya (loose cloak) and then took it off in the faculty, and appeared with those clothes, that caused, in reality… the incident,’ Nassar said on private Egyptian channel ONTV. He said university guards turn away students who show up at campus dressed inappropriately.

‘The student's mistake does not justify what the (other) students did,’ he added.

Most of Cairo University's female students wear jeans and tops and avoid revealing clothes, and many wear the traditional Islamic headscarves, as do the majority of Egypt's women.

Nassar later wrote on Twitter that he was misunderstood and that he was not blaming the student for the incident.

‘I assure that this is not true and I apologise for the misunderstanding and I repeat that those who (harassed the girl) will be severely punished,’ he wrote.

Mr Farid added: ‘The worst is that people always find justification for the harassment and blame it on the victim.’

The men behind Facebook, Tesla and PayPal (and Ashton Kutcher) unite to help create a computer that works like a HUMAN BRAIN

Some of the most entrepreneurial minds in the world are joining forces to help a small tech startup create a digital brain.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Tesla owner Elon Musk join the likes of PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel, actor Ashton Kutcher and Facebook’s co-founder Dustin Moskovitz by investing in San Francisco-based Vicarious. 
The startup wants to create software that ‘thinks and learns like a human’, and to do that, the firm is attempting to build a program that mimics the brain’s neocortex.  
According to reports in the Wall Street Journal, Zuckerberg, Musk and Kutcher have invested a total of $40million (£24million) in the company. 
Thiel reportedly invested $1.2 million (£727,000) in 2010, while Moskovitz was said to have added $15million (£9million) to the fund. 
The neocortex is the top layer of the cerebral hemispheres in the brain of mammals. It is approximately 3mm thick and has six layers, each involved with various functions. 

These include sensory perception, spatial reasoning, conscious thought, and language in humans.
According to the company’s website: ‘Vicarious is developing machine learning software based on the computational principles of the human brain.
‘Our first technology is a visual perception system that interprets the contents of photographs and videos in a manner similar to humans. 
‘Powering this technology is a new computational paradigm we call the Recursive Cortical Network.’

WHAT IS THE NEOCORTEX?

The neocortex is the top layer of the cerebral hemispheres in the brain of mammals.
It is approximately 3mm thick and has six layers each involved with various functions. 
These include sensory perception, generation of motor commands, spatial reasoning, conscious thought, and in humans, language.
Vicarious founder Scott Phoenix told the Wall Street Journal if the firm is successful with its current project, the company will have created 'a computer that thinks like a person except it doesn't need to eat or sleep.' 

A Facebook spokesperson said Zuckerberg’s investment was ‘personal’, and was not affiliated with the company. 
Peter Thiel said: ‘Vicarious is bringing us all closer to a future where computers perceive, imagine, and reason just like humans.’
And Dustin Moskovitz added: ‘The technology that Vicarious is developing has the potential to improve all lives and revolutionise every industry.’
In October 2013, the company announced it had developed an algorithm that ‘reliably’ solves modern Captchas - the world’s most widely used test of a machine’s ability to act human.
Captchas are used when filling in forms, for example, to make sure it’s not being completed by a bot. This prevents people programming computers to buy a bulk load of gig tickets, for example.
A Captcha scheme is considered broken if an algorithm is able to reach a precision of at least 1 per cent. 
By using research into so-called machine learning - in which a machine can learn from its mistakes - and neuroscience, the Vicarious artificial intelligence achieved success rates up to 90 per cent on modern Captchas from Google, Yahoo, PayPal, Captcha.com, and others. 
Company founder Scott Phoenix told the Wall Street Journal if the firm is successful with its current project, Vicarious will have created ‘a computer that thinks like a person except it doesn't need to eat or sleep.'

Sean Combs ditches P.Diddy moniker to return to stage name which made him famous

He has already changed his stage name twice in his career, confusingly ditching 'Puff Daddy' for the more simple moniker 'P.Diddy' back in 2001.
But now, after streamlining yet again to the simpler 'Diddy' nine years ago, Sean Combs is returning to the name which made him famous.
What's more, the 44-year-old rapper rather confusingly claimed on Tuesday that he never changed his name, and has was always in fact, Puff Daddy.

Daddy or Diddy? Sean Combs says he has always been known as Puff Daddy, a name featured in the opening credits for his new video for song Big Homie

'For the record, I did not change my name,' he wrote on Tuesday. 'I always have been and always will be PUFF DADDY! :) Be cool Man lol #MMM #BigHomie RT!!!!'
The 44-year-old rapper and businessman initially announced the name change in the opening credits to the trailer for new music video Big Homie.
As if to see the funny side, he later tweeted: 'Diddy or Daddy?'


The rapper dropped the name Puff Daddy back in 2001 after being found not guilty of charges of possession of a weapon in connection with a 1999 shooting at a New York club.

The new video features Combs's old name in the opening credits

I am not Diddy: The star tweeted that he has, in fact, always been known as Puff Daddy despite his Twitter handle being different

Let's call the whole thing off: Combs himself saw the funny side, later tweeting: 'Diddy or Daddy?'

'No more Puff Daddy - the first week in June, we're going to have a name-change ceremony,' he told MTV News at the time. 'I just want something fresh. I'm rocking with P Diddy just now.'
The rapper said the new name had been suggested by his friend, the late rapper Notorious BIG, who was shot dead in 1996.
Combs has timed his name announcement to coincide with MMM, his first album in four years. He has released two albums as Puff Daddy, one as P Diddy, and two as Diddy.

Naomi Campbell bursts out laughing when asked about Kim and Kanye's Vogue cover

Naomi Campbell has graced countless Vogue covers during her 28-year modelling career.
And the 43-year-old beauty seemed less than impressed by US Vogue's decision to put Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the cover when she appeared on Australia's The Morning Show on Tuesday.
When TV host Kylie Gillies asked Naomi what she thought about the cover, the supermodel burst into a fit of laughter.

'I'm a fashion model': Naomi Campbell hinted that she was unimpressed by US Vogue's decision to put Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the cover

‘I do not want to comment,’ Naomi said.

‘Because I’m a fashion model and I’ve been working for 28 years and when you get a Vogue cover it’s a build in your career, it’s a stepping stone to achieve that.
‘And you know I’m a fashion model so what more can I say.’
Kylie then asked: ‘So you think Kim and Kanye haven’t earned the right to be on the cover?’

Naomi responded carefully, saying: ‘Those are your words, I’m being politically correct.
‘That’s Anna Wintour’s choice to put them on the cover of her magazine, who’s to question it.’
Naomi also hit out at Nicole Trunfio, her fellow mentor on modelling show The Face Australia.
On KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday morning she described the 28-year-old Aussie beauty as 'disrespectful'.
