Angelina Jolie continued to fulfill her UN duties by having lunch and meetings with soldiers and ambassadors in Iraq yesterday. She doesn't play around — kind of like the CNN interview that explained her reasons for going as well as shutting up the reporter who almost attempted to ask about "those recent rumors." Angie looked ready for war in her protective gear that she made a little more girlie with her scarf. As always it's great to see celebs get involved in ways to bring awareness to world news but Angelina looks like she needs a nap already. May we suggest a cute photo opp of the entire family on the beaches of some exotic location.

Charlize Is All Ham and Pudding
Charlize Theron was at Harvard yesterday to pick up her Hasty Pudding Pot for Woman of the Year, but not before she was sufficiently hazed by the school's Hasty Pudding Theatricals. After showing off her dance moves and riding through the streets in her very own parade, Charlize graciously accepted her award, saying, "I hope you all know I’m a high school dropout. I just thought I’d be clean with you guys. I went to school in Africa but I’m really, really honored to be here." In the spirit of the award she also got silly, joking, "I am Woman of the Year. If there was any question about me being a man, this should erase it." There were definitely a few cross-dressers at the awards ceremony, but it was pretty clear that Ms. Theron wasn't one of them.

Eva Mendes Is Back in LA, But Only Momentarily

Eva Mendes is out of treatment at Utah's Cirque Lodge briefly, but it was more than enough time for the paparazzi to find her and her boyfriend George Gargurevich visiting a friend in LA yesterday. It's not much of a surprise to see Eva out of the rehab center considering when Lindsay Lohan was there she was out shopping all the time, but hopefully being back in California isn't too stressful. Her rep said of the trip, "Eva is attending to some personal business in Los Angeles and intends to return to complete her treatment shortly." Even though things are obviously hard on a personal level for Eva, we can't wait to see what the face of Calvin Klein's newest fragrance has to show us all when she's feeling better.
Ryan's Got a Future Beckham on His Hands
Just how much Ryan and Deacon Phillippe can you handle in one week? First we got their adorable father/son supermarket hugs and then yesterday afternoon Ryan picked up his little tow-headed boy at soccer practice in LA. How cute is little Deacon having a little post-practice snack telling his dad all about it. I always thought that football was Deacon's favorite sport, but it looks like he may just be an all around future-jock. Not too much of a stretch looking at his dad, eh?

Happy Birthday Ashton!
Yesterday Ashton Kutcher looked a bit out of it walking around NYC after lunch with some friends. Perhaps he was having a few pre-birthday jitters? Ashton turns the big 3-0 today, and it's hard to believe that the cute boy who made it big on That '70s Show isn't even a 20-something anymore. He partied at the big star-studded Madonna charity event, but there was no sign of Ashton's BFF/Demi's ex. (Does their closeness weird you out?) However they did get to celebrate in LA before the couple headed east.
Does this mean the likes of Hollywood will be saved from Ashton's pranks and immature antics? Probably not. Happy Birthday, Ashton!
