Angelina to enter politics
This may just be a wild rumour, but what a delicious one nonetheless! Angelina Jolie is known for her work in Hollywood - and already has one Oscar win on her resume - but she may now be getting fed up of the glitz and glamour of being a Hollywood powerhouse. The actress is rumoured to be looking at entering the political arena.
The Daily Express quoted a friend of hers, "Ange has admitted she's getting bored with Hollywood. She said she's now got her sights set on Washington. She is passionate about people's rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position."
While that doesn't mean that Angelina Jolie will be running for President of the United States anytime soon, it could mean that she may start looking at politics as her next career step. The actress has been a UN Goodwill Ambassador for eight years now, working specifically on causes related to refugees, and she and partner Brad Pitt recently donated a million dollars to IDPs in Pakistan. If Angelina were to join politics, it wouldn't be the first time someone has abandoned the paparazzi in favour of politics.
Former US president Ronald Reagan also worked in films and current Los Angeles governor Arnold Schwarzenegger remains to be one of Hollywood's most famous crossovers into politics. Actor Kal Penn recently left medical drama House to take up a job with the Obama administration as well. Given Hollywood's fascination with politics - a huge slew of celebrities endorsed and campaigned for President Barack Obama - Angelina's move could just be very welcome!
