Chapter 255
November was a busy month for Hollywood. A lot of good movies were released this month.
Unbreakable, Rugrats In Paris, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Charlie's Angels.
These were the movies that did well this month.
There was also other Hollywood gossip.
-- Harrison Ford confirms that he and his wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, are separated.
-- Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones get married in an extravagant ceremony in New York City.
-- Robert Downey Jr. is arrested in Palm Springs, California, for possession of cocaine and methamphetamine.
-- Wanted grosses over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It becomes the fourth film in the history of cinema to surpass $1 billion.
A lot of news about Hollywood celebrities surfaced. Most people loved to hear gossip, so they focused more on celebrities.
But it was different for Hollywood companies. They didn't care much about the lives of celebrities. They were more shocked by the fact that Wanted surpassed $1 billion in almost 6 months after its release.
"Let's see, the critics' opinions are complicated. Some complained that the public's taste was appalling because Wanted was nothing but a circus with no substance. While others praised it for being ambitious by casting the protagonists of the previous films related to the Continental Cinematic Universe."
Angelina Jolie read the paper while waiting for her boyfriend. Stuff about celebrities was nothing new to her. She knew that being an actress cost her privacy. In fact, she had been a target of the media when she was a drug addict. Her past was something she could not be proud of.
She turned the next page and frowned when she saw an article about the cast of Charlie's Angels.
-- Charlie's Angels stars Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu get the royal treatment as they dine with Prince Charles at St. James Palace in London. The dinner followed the London opening of the blockbuster, which benefited one of the prince's charities. The other Angel, Cameron Diaz, was filming an upcoming movie and was unable to attend the soiree.
Angelina didn't like Kazir's exes for obvious reasons. The fact that some women had a taste of her man didn't sit well with her.
Three weeks had passed since the premiere of Charlie's Angels and the box office was doing well.
The movie earned 93.25 million dollars. The performance of Charlie's Angels made the Big Six realize that actresses had a chance in the action genre. The three actresses were the protagonists of the movie and it was done right.
Kazir handed the bag to Angelina to have a look.
"Can I open it?" Angelina found a small box inside the bag.
"Of course."
The actress opened the box and found a brand new watch. It was a Hamilton watch.
"Nice, who gave you this watch?"
"It's from Kirsten. She gave it to me when she found out that Wanted had passed the $1 billion mark."
"Kirsten... Kirsten Dunst?"
"That's right."
For a second, Angelina's eyes went dark before they returned to normal. She smiled and put the watch back in its box. She placed the gift in the backseat.
Then she leaned closer to Kazir and gave him a sloppy kiss. They stayed like that for a few seconds.
"Before you cook, how about we have some fun, huh?"
"I'd be crazy to say no. We are talking about the sexy Angelina Jolie."
"Geez, Kazir. I thought you were not a playboy. How can you say something so cheesy?"
Despite her embarrassment, Angelina felt ticklish that her man was so nice to her.
'Sometimes I feel that Kazir is very clueless. This Kirsten woman might have some impure intentions for him.' She thought while licking her lips.
If there was one thing she was grateful for, it was the fact that Kazir never flirted on the set. He was strict with himself and his actors. She knew this firsthand because when they shot a kissing scene between her and Ben Affleck, Kazir never showed any discomfort.
That Kirsten Dunst would have a hard time seducing a man like Kazir. Even Angelina took so many shots just to seduce the man.
