Angelina Jolie, the Oscar-winning actress, has been made an honorary dame by the Queen for her campaigning work fighting sexual violence and for services to UK foreign policy.

The film star, best known for her role in Hollywood blockbuster Tomb Raider, was presented with the award during a private audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Jolie was recognised in the Diplomatic Service and Overseas Birthday 2014 Honours list and received the honorary damehood (DCMG) for services to UK foreign policy and the campaign to end war-zone sexual violence.

During the audience, the Queen presented the actress with the insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George.

As a foreign citizen Jolie, the co-founder of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative PVSI, cannot be addressed as Dame, but receives the award on an honorary basis.

The award was first announced in June during the week when Jolie was co-chairing the End Sexual Violence in Conflict (ESVC) global summit in London with then foreign secretary William Hague.
She said at the time: “To receive an honour related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to. Working on PVSI and with survivors of rape is an honour in itself. I know that succeeding in our goals will take a lifetime, and I am dedicated to it for all of mine.”
Her work as a committed humanitarian runs parallel to her career as a leading actress who has been a huge box office draw for more than a decade.
The 39-year-old star has been described by US Secretary of State John Kerry as a "fierce and fearless advocate" and he said her dedication to campaigning could overtake her successful film career as her lasting legacy.

CHRIS MARTIN SPEAKS OUT ABOUT GWYNETH PALTROW FOR THE FIRST TIME

Notorious king of controversy Chris Martin who loves talking about his private life and opening up to the media about relationship problems gave a radio interview where he discusses the end of his marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow.

In the teaser trailer for the interview, which will focus on his music rather than Gwyneth (obviously), he came out with some serious clangers and some epic juicy goss including: 'Everyone in their life goes through challenges. Whether it's love or money or kids or illness,' and 'There have been a lot of false headlines recently but this would be a real one.'

Whoa Chris, you need to learn how to be more respectful of your ten year union with a partner you loved and stop shooting your mouth off left right and centre! Screw your head on more because right now we're pretty worried about you!

Of course this is heavy sarcasm - say what you will about Gwyneth and Chris, but you can't deny they've both dealt with, or are dealing with, their marital split in a  pretty exemplary way. No tell-alls, no take-downs, no Twitter fight and certainly no chatting to radio DJs about the ins and outs of their personal decisions. Yep the 'conscious uncoupling' thing is a bit cringe, but if all conscious uncouplings cause this amount of admirable maturity then maybe more celebs should be at it.
Yes, we're looking at you [insert name of 90% of celebrities who have gone through bitter divorces]

Chris's parents weighed in on the split recently, and just confirmed what everyone's been presuming - that they're friends, it's been hard, but ultimately OK. His dad, Anthony Martin said: ''It is sad and upsetting but they are still great mates. If you are married you know you have good days and bad days. But it is all very amicable between them."



 

JESSICA CHASTAIN TO PLAY MARILYN MONROE ON NEW BIOPIC

Going Blonde: Jessica Chastain to play Marilyn Monroe in new film biopic produced by Brad Pitt

Jessica Chastain is being lined up to play Marilyn Monroe in a new film biopic.

The 37-year-old red-headed actress is 'nearing a deal' to play the icon in a new adaptation of the 2000 historical novel Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates, according to The Wrap. 

The project will be produced by Brad Pitt's production company Plan B, with the actor reported by a source to have been 'instrumental in convincing [Jessica] to tackle the challenging role of Marilyn Monroe.'

Pitt and Chastain co-starred in Terrence Malik's 2011 film The Tree Of Life.

Andrew Dominik, who directed Pitt in filmsThe Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford and Killing Them Softly, will helm the film from his own script.

'My heart belongs to Marilyn,' Dominik told IndieWire when quizzed about the project back in 2012. 'It's a really sprawling, emotional nightmare fairy-tale type movie, and I really want to do it real bad.

'It's a story about an abandoned orphan who gets lost in the woods.'

A Pulitzer Prize finalist, Blonde is a re-imagining of the life of Marilyn Monroe in novel form, with Oates drawing on biographical and historical sources for her portrait of the fragile icon who was born Norma Jean Mortenson.

Despite being a natural redhead, Chastain appeared as a blonde for 2011 film The Help which won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

Chastain's portrayal comes three years after Michelle Williams took on the role of the superstar in My Week With Marilyn which explored the troubled production of The Price And The Showgirl.

Madonna also played a version of Marilyn in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in her 1984 Material Girl video.

However, The Wrap report that Chastain's portrayal is expected to be 'much different' with Blonde taking 'an unconventional approach to examining the Hollywood starlet's life and career.'

 

Blonde is slated to begin filming in August with a 2015 release date in mind.

Chastain has been particularly busy of late - she will star in a number of movies this year including Christopher Nolan sci-fi mystery Interstellar alongside Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey and Miss Julie - based on the 1888 play - with Samantha Morton and Colin Farrell.

 

She is currently filming Guillermo del Toro's horror film Crimson Peake.
