There’s this cute story in Page Six today about Angelina Jolie and her drama with Mal Sirrah designer Malcolm Harris. Harris participates in “Designers For Darfur” (which gives money to Save Darfur, but not the UNHCR) but Harris has also designed a line of dresses for Mal Sirrah in which some of the proceeds go to the UN’s refugee effort. Both Harris and Angelina will be participating in events for World Refugee Day (Saturday, June 20th) and Angelina thought it would be nice to buy a few of those Mal Sirrah dresses. So what did Angelina do? She called up the designer to see if he could send some stuff over for her to purchase. That’s when Malcolm was like, “Amanda stop pretending to be Angelina Jolie, bitch! Stop wasting my time!”
FASHIONISTA Malcolm Harris hung up on Angelina Jolie — twice.
The Mal Sirrah designer didn’t believe it was Jolie on the line when she called last week to order three of his “One Dress” frocks.
Finally, she convinced him she was the real deal by explaining they were both participating in World Refugee Day on Saturday.
Jolie bought three of Harris’ dresses for $225 a pop, knowing that some of the proceeds go to the UN’s refugee effort. Harris confirmed the story to Page Six and said, “I was so flattered.”

In other Angelina Jolie news, her Wanted director Timor Bekmabetov gave an interview to some Russian news agency this week in which he discussed the Wanted sequel. The first film made $342 million worldwide, so a sequel was sort of a no-brainer. Now Timor is saying that he really hopes Angelina comes back for the sequel, which will most likely be filming later this year. But, for those of us who have seen the film (SPOILER) Angelina’s character …uh… can’t come back.
Last summer’s action thriller “Wanted” didn’t exactly leave it open for Jolie to return for a sequel, but director Timur Bekmabetov says her character could return for another round.
In an interview with Russian news site RIA Novosti, Bekmabetov says he hopes to “resurrect” Jolie’s character. The director says other characters who suffered an un-sequel friendly fate may be brought back as well.
The director reveals that preparations for the sequel will begin in July. “I think in the late autumn or winter, shooting will be performed,” Bekmambetov said. “The shooting will take place in America, India and Russia.”

Unfortunately for Timor and the Wanted producers, Angelina has already given multiple interviews where she has discussed her disinterest in coming back for the sequel. Angelina even took credit in one interview for her character’s death, saying that she asked the producers and the screenwriters if they could kill off her character. I suppose some clever screenwriter could come up with some kind of flashback sequence or prequel nonsense to get Angelina back. But I doubt she’ll sign up.
