Angelina Jolie buys Brad Pitt a helicopter. Allegedly

What did your significant other recently get you as a just-because gift? Flowers from the gas station? Good for you. While you pretended you were overjoyed, Angelina bought Brad a helicopter. The NY Post has this:

"Angelina Jolie certainly does not mess around when it comes to boys' toys. Jolie forked over almost $1.6 million on a helicopter and flying lessons for fiance Brad Pitt - and it is not even his birthday. FOR HIS BIRTHDAY HE GOT TWO ELEPHANTS, A CROWN MADE OF UNICORN FEET, A HORN OF PLENTY AND TWO MAGIC LAMPS A source said of the movie star couple, "They've had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home I'M HAVING A SOAP DISPENSER INSTALLED IN MY BATHROOM, SO I KNOW A BIT ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING, Chateau Miraval, so Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present." SO THAT HE WOULDN'T SUSPECT ANYTHING, SHE HID IT UNDER THE CHILDREN. The source added, "But even though Brad has his private pilot's license, he still needs to take a few flying lessons, which he'll start straight away." Perhaps they could take Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, out for a spin now that they are back on talking terms after years of fighting and public digs. The "Friends" actress sent them a £500 bouquet ahead of this week's Cannes Film Festival to congratulate them on their engagement. WHY DID SHE PAY IN POUNDS? CAN'T SHE PAY IN DOLLARS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE? IS IT SOME SORT OF CODED MESSAGE TO BRAD? 'REMEMBER HOW WE HAD FUN IN LONDON 10 YEARS AGO?' THAT'S TOTALLY IT."

Hunger Games Barbie: so wrong and yet I kinda want one

Here, via EW, is the first look at Mattel's Katniss Everdeen. As soon as I order one from BarbieCollector, I will start building an arena in which Katniss Barbie can kill all my other collectable dolls. Not that I own any.

Cartier commercial is pretty amazing

... but I still can't afford anything they're selling, so my excitement remains contained.

Charlize Theron really likes Michael Fassbender's penis

I still haven't seen Shame, so I have no idea what she's talking about, but Charlize Theron has lots of praise for Michael Fassbender's underpants area.

People has this: "Charlize Theron jokingly saluted her Prometheus costar's anatomy on Saturday in reference to his several scenes of full-frontal nudity in Shame last year. "Your penis was a revelation. I'm available to work with it any time," the new mom, 36, said at the Human Rights Campaign gala in Los Angeles, where she was honored with the Ally For Equality award, the L.A. Times reports. "I have to say that I was truly impressed that you chose to play it big," she joked to Fassbender, 34, who later toasted the crowd himself from the podium. "Most other actors would have gone small, trust me. I know because I've worked with them."
