Angelina Jolie Named Beauty Ambassador Of 'Mon Guerlain', Will Donate Salary To Charity

/

Angelina Jolie stepped out of the shadows on Monday, as Guerlain Parfumeur announced that the actor would be the face of its new fragrance, Mon Guerlain. The contract was actually signed back in December 2015, while Jolie was directing 'First They Killed My Father' in Cambodia, birthplace of Jolie's first son, Maddox.

The partnership is Jolie's first beauty ambassador contract in 10 years, and Angelina will donate all the profits of her contract to unspecified charities. 

“We create perfumes for the women we admire,” Jacques Guerlain said in a statement, whilst the brand’s master perfumer Thierry Wasser said he drew inspiration from Jolie to create a fragrance expressing the “notes of a woman”.

Besides her work as an actor, filmmaker and mother of six, Angelina Jolie is a special envoy of the UN Refuge Agency and co-founder of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative.

Madonna As 'Statue of Liberty' By Michael Forbes Joins Marilyn Minter At Brooklyn Museum Jan. 19

The black eye is perfect because this is how we feel. Madonna is never one to walk away from controversy, and she was quick to share this new artwork by Scottish artist Michael Forbes. The artist portrays a caricature-like image of the President-elect as 'King Kong Trump' sitting on the head of our beloved Statue of Liberty, personified by Madonna. The human rights icon is holding a sign saying 'Not My President' -- a declaration that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million Americans. 

"After Madonna posted it on Instagram my phone has been ringing repeatedly with people telling me about it," Forbes told the BBC.

Oh dear Goddess! Donald Trump must be seething. Perhaps his children can keep the president-elect from seeing this FEMEN activist grabbing the crotch of his highness -- sorry -- his likeness unveiled today at the Museo de Cera Madrid.  FEMEN is known in the women's rights community for its topless protests 

The unnamed FEMEN member shouted "grab patriarchy by the balls," as she ran towards the statue of his highness and grabbed him by the balls.
