Angelina Jolie - Jolie Pitts Tattoo Means Nothing
ANGELINA JOLIE has shattered the myth surrounding partner BRAD PITT's new tattoo - it's a scribble she created.
Experts suggested the series of lines on the actor's back represented the levees in the couple's adopted New Orleans, Louisiana, but Jolie insists the skin art means nothing at all.
She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "We went to Davos... (and) one night we didn't have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.
"He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.
"I mean, it's meaningful in that it's us making angles and shapes out of each other's body, that kind of a thing."

Cronenberg abuzz over "The Fly"
PARIS (Hollywood Reporter) - Canadian director David Cronenberg has caught the opera bug. Literally. Rehearsals are under way for the operatic adaptation of Cronenberg's 1987 horror flick "The Fly" for Paris' Chatelet Theater and the Los Angeles Opera.
Run-throughs are being held at the theater, which will set the stage for the five performances running Wednesday through July 13.
The melodious version of the film about a scientist transformed into a giant man/fly hybrid will be conducted by tenor Placido Domingo with music composed by Howard Shore, who also wrote the score for the original movie. The script is by David Henry Hwang, based on the eponymous novel by Frenchman George Langelaan.
"We're really branching out internationally. It's a story from France that went to Hollywood and is now coming back home," Chatelet Theater director Jean-Luc Choplin said.
"I think the production will please both true opera fans and also reach out to younger audiences," Choplin said. "We're really crossing borders between the cinema and the opera. It's more than just a simple costume change."
A melange of voices from across the globe will be complemented by the Radio France Philharmonic orchestra. "The Fly" will feature contemporary music made specifically for the opera.
"It's a new artistic adventure. We need to modernize. We have to push the opera toward new frontiers," Choplin said, adding that he sees more of these projects combining film with music, opera and theater on the horizon.
On Thursday, the sixth edition of the annual 12-day discount moviegoing Paris Cinema Festival will pay homage to Cronenberg. The director will present his big-screen version of "The Fly," followed by a screening of Kurt Neumann's 1958 original film of the same title. Restored versions of both films will be released in French theaters Friday through Splendor Films.
