Angelina Jolie discovered a fatal attraction to women back when she was first cast in the 1996 flick, Foxfire, alongside Jenny Shimizu. In fact, her attraction to Shimizu was so strong that she even went as far as to say that she “probably would have married” had she not been involved with and tied the knot with her first ex-husband, Jonny Lee Miller.

In an interview with Girlfriends magazine back in 1997, she shared how her husband took it when she was still figuring her sexuality out, saying:

[Miller] was around when I was figuring things out about myself, when I was realizing that I was attracted to women also. When I realized that somebody like Jenny could be a deep love for me, he realized it, and he took it very seriously. If anything, he didn’t treat it just like some sexy thing.

While her developing an evident crush on Shimizu was one thing,...

When it comes to siblings in the limelight, few stories are as intriguing as Madonna and her younger brother Christopher Ciccone’s. Known for her trailblazing career and boundary-pushing music, the former’s personal life has often danced in the shadows of her public persona. But it was her brother, who accidentally threw the proverbial cat among the pigeons in 2008 with his controversial memoir, Life with My Sister Madonna.

This book, which painted an unfiltered portrait of the Queen of Pop, didn’t just spill the beans on Madonna’s life but also alleged infidelities during her marriage to Guy Ritchie. Recently, the heartbreaking news emerged that Ciccone, a multitalented artist, dancer, and designer, passed away at the age of 63.

Christopher Ciccone Faced Backlash for His Memoir on Madonna

The drama between Christopher Ciccone and Madonna has all the makings of a blockbuster film: sibling rivalry,...

Madonna is sharing a DJ mix made by her daughter, Estere!

The 66-year-old “Frozen” pop icon shared two posts on her Instagram on Saturday (September 28), revealing that her 12-year-old daughter made a mix on Soundcloud.

The mix is called “I’ll Tech House U Mix,” and was released on Soundcloud over the weekend featuring songs like Noizu‘s “Vogue,” which includes a reference to her 1990 hit.

Madonna shared a link to Estere’s mix with the words: “DJ Queen Estere.”

The post was followed by a clip of Estere saying “Thank you mom,” while blowing a kiss. “Queen. Estere,” Madonna wrote, adding: “Let’s goooooo.”

Madge‘s ex Jenny Shimizu is opening up about her relationship with Madonna in the ’90s. Find out what steamy things she said!

She recently spent time vacationing in Italy with Estere and the rest of her kids. Get the details!

Yes, Jenny Shimizu and Madonna actually happened! The 66-year-old pop star made it big during the 80s and 90s for her efforts in the music industry. She released some of the biggest albums in music starting with Like a Virgin (1984), followed by True Blue (1986), The Immaculate Collection (1990), and Like a Prayer (1989) which is probably her best release to date.

Putting aside all the fame and glamour that followed after she came into the limelight, Madonna, born Madonna Louise Ciccone, was dubbed “Queen of Pop” by fans and critics worldwide, much like how one of her exes was called the “King of Pop”. That would’ve been the music industry’s biggest power couple.

But when it came to romance, Madonna was the perfect description of how to live young, wild, and free. While most of us are...

Jenny Shimizu is opening up about her relationship with Madonna.

If you didn’t know, the 57-year-old former model dated the 66-year-old “Hung Up” singer back in the ’90s.

In Hulu’s new docuseries In Vogue: The 90s, Jenny reflected on their “crazy and fun” relationship.

Keep reading to find out more…“I mean, you’re not gonna say no to Madonna in the ’90s,” Jenny recalled. “Not only was it great feeling like a high class hooker — because really it was. You’d get a phone call like, ‘Hey can you meet me at my Paris show. You’re in Europe right?’ ”

“So I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m just finishing Prada. Right after Prada I’ll catch a plane over,’” Jenny added. “And I would. I’d go over to her hotel, to the Ritz, at like 4 in the morning, have sex, and then fly back to Milan.

Madonna, the iconic “Queen of Pop,” stands at a height of 5ft 3 ¼ inches (160.7 cm) with a peak height of 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm).

At the 2013 Billboard Music Awards held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 19, singer Madonna, whose peak height was 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm), stood at 5ft 3 ¼ inches (160.7 cm) as she posed in the press room (Credit: Kathy Hutchins / Shutterstock)

The Impact of Height in Celebrity Self-Perception: Madonna’s Perspective

She once mentioned feeling like a “shrimp” in an interview due to her height, although she believed it was average. For context, the average American woman typically has a height of around 5 feet 4 inches.

I’ve always wanted to be taller. I feel like a shrimp, but that’s the way it goes. I’m five-foot four-and-a-half-inches – that’s actually average. Everything about me is average. Everything’s normal, in the books. It’s the things inside me that make me not average.

Is Angelina Jolie Bisexual? (Picture Credit: Facebook)

Angelina Jolie is one of the rare celebrities who’s been open about her personal life. From living with her boyfriend at the age of 14 to dating actress Jenny Shimizu, her life is an open book. Before dating Brad Pitt, Angie was a proud bisexual and once shared her thoughts on her sexual orientation. Scroll below for all the details!

Angie hasn’t been lucky in love, but she’s given it multiple chances. During her teenage years, she was pretty serious about her first relationship, which lasted almost two years. She began her acting career at a very young age and fell in love with Jonny Lee Miller on the Hackers (1995) sets. She was also romantically involved with Jenny Shimizu and Billy Bob Thornton before her long-term romance with Brad Pitt began.

Angelina Jolie opens up about her sexual orientation

During a 1997 interview with Girlfriends magazine,...

Many an older film discovery will inspire revelations of “She’s in this?” — but none quite like the 1996 indie “Foxfire.” A cult classic beloved by queer audiences, “Foxfire” features early performances not only from Angelina Jolie, but singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis and queer icon and model Jenny Shimizu. It is also, famously (for those who care about these kinds of things), the project that introduced Jolie and Shimizu, who had a serious relationship throughout the late ’90s.

Based on a novel by Joyce Carol Oates, “Foxfire” follows five high school girls who take revenge on an abusive teacher, unwittingly forming a misfit crew of renegade feminists. They are radicalized by a hitchhiking firebrand who appears out of thin air, played by a young Jolie in motorcycle boots and an androgynous messy bob. Though she had done a few films prior, “Foxfire” established the magnetic bad girl type (and forever queer thirst...

Queen of pop Madonna seemingly came out as gay in a playful video posted to TikTok.

The 64-year-old put her spin on a new viral trend by attempting to throw a pair of bright pink underwear into the trash can and purposely missing, reports pagesix.com.

“If I miss, I’m Gay,” text over the video read.

The “Material Girl’ singer, who was rocking a cream-coloured corset over a white tee with matching pants and pink hair, seemed to accept the outcome, staring into the camera while proudly throwing one arm into the air.

However, the video has left many fans confused, with some questioning whether Madonna was just jumping on the trend for fun or was serious about coming out.

“What in the 80s is happening,” one fan asked, with another adding, “Did Madonna just come out? And I’m witnessing it in real time??”

Ebersole and Hughes produced through their The Ebersole Hughes Company, alongside Cori Coppola. The film screened in Venice Days.

Utopia plans an August release...

It’s been a decade since R.J. Cutler’s “The September Issue” and Matt Tyrnauer’s “Valentino: The Last Emperor” proved fashion documentaries could be big moneymakers at the box office. The years following brought the release of many glamorous entries into the genre, including “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel,” “Bill Cunningham New York,” “The Gospel According to Andre,” and “McQueen.” Hoping to make a similar splash is “House of Cardin,” an authorized documentary about the legendary Italian-born French designer, Pierre Cardin. IndieWire is premiering this exclusive first-look trailer ahead of the film’s New York debut at Doc NYC.

Known for his geometric shapes and avant-garde styles, Cardin has amassed many celebrity fans over the years, many of whom appear in the film wearing their favorite of his designs. They include Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone, Jenny Shimizu, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alice Cooper, and even Dionne Warwick, among others.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt last year, and the news has been met with millions of dropped jaws (including George Clooney's). While Brad and Angie's romance began on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith back in 2004, the stunning actress has a list of ex-lovers that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Colin Farrell, and model/actress Jenny Shimizu, whom she worked with on the movie Foxfire in 1996.

She did, too! Angelina Jolie's ex-girlfriend Jenny Shimizu also got married recently, tying the knot last week to socialite Michelle Harper. Photos of Harper the bride wearing her voluminous wedding gown on the couple's big day were released Wednesday, Sept. 3. Jolie and Shimizu first met on the set of their 1996 film Foxfire.

Nude scenes.

Some years ago, Entertainment Weekly did a story about the effect nude scenes had on a generation of young people growing up in the 80s. At its core was the idea that, unlike today, where you can just press a button and see boobs and butts any time you want, it used to be a lot harder to see that most 'holy of holies'.

There was a time when some of the scenes on this list were all that we had! As time has gone on, even with the proliferation of ways to see nudity, a really good nude scene still manages to get our hearts (and other things) racing. Even here in 2013.

So feast your eyes on (maybe not the best, or greatest but...) the Top 30 Most Memorable Nude Scenes in motion picture history over the past couple of decades. Sorry ladies, this list is quite male specific.

Jenny Shimizu and Michelle Violy Harper

Model/actress Jenny Shimizu is as famous for having dated Angelina Jolie as she is for her androgynous fashion appeal, but she doesn't seem to mind. As to if she'll ever get married, Jenny told Diva, "You know, that's a hard one. Either we get the same laws as heterosexual couples, or I don't want it at all. But I'd like to settle down and get married. I feel like, as gay people, we date each other and being girlfriends has always been enough for me, but I'm not sure.

“Bob’s New Suit,” the debut film from writer/director Alan Howard, will be out on DVD March 26. The Breaking Glass Pictures character-driven film stars Hunter S. Bodine (“The Casserole Club”), model/actress Jenny Shimizu (Bravo’s “Make Me a Supermodel,” “Dante’s Cove”), John Bennett Perry (“Fools Rush In” with son Matthew Perry, “Veronica Mars”), Charlie Babcock (“Desperate Housewives”) and Shay Astar (“The Lost,” “3rd Rock from the Sun”). “Bob’s New Suit” is described as a “bright fable contemplating the legacy of the 1960′s cultural wars in a contemporary working-class family facing the battle of the sexes, gender identity, radical politics, and a threatened economy.” “The Goodlows are a typical American family.

Angelina Jolie is known for her amazing acting skills, humanitarian work and always expanding family. However, before all this happened, Jolie was known for her interesting and controversial relationships. In honor of her birthday and new engagement to Brad Pitt, here is a list of 10 relationships Jolie had before meeting Brad! Get ready for some shockers.

Johnny Lee Miller- The two met while filiming Hackers in 1995. Soon after, Miller and Jolie married in 1996. Jolie’s attire to her first wedding was extremely non-traditional. She wore black rubber pants and a white t-shirt, which had Miller’s name written on it using her own blood (I guess she was weird even back then). They couple divorced in 1999 but remain on good terms.

I just found out that there's going to be a remake of Foxfire. I'm not even joking. This version (which stars "five unknowns") is supposed to follow the original novel by Joyce Carol Oates more closely and is directed by French filmmaker Laurent Cantet. I'm assuming that means Jenny Shimizu doesn't make a cameo.

One person who is in the remake is Ali Liebert, who is currently starring in the Canadian TV series Bomb Girls.

The 1996 film Foxfire was based on a novel by best-selling author Joyce Carol Oates. Though the film had no outright lesbian content, it was very much about the relationships between the young women, and their love for one another surpassed friendship, bringing them to a point of commitment secured by tattoos and general bad-assery. Bonded by their rebelling against a predatory teacher, they found one another to be a safe haven from the judgmental high school halls.

So whatever happened to those girls who ran with foxes?

Hedy Burress (Maddy, the photographer who hates her teacher)

Since Foxfire, Hedy has largely worked in television, notably in her roles as Joanie Moore on ER and as Laurie Cooper on Southland. She also does a lot of voiceover work for video games, including Final Fantasy and Terminator Salvation.

Besides being the world's overwhelming choice...

Brad does all he can to keep Angelina happy and in love, but it seems she still can’t contain her wandering eye!

Angelina Jolie has made no secret of her wild sexual past, and now it seems like she may be falling back into old patterns! InTouch spoke with a friend of the actress and reports, “Angelina harbors strong bisexual desires — and continues to have flings with other women behind Brad’s back.” Uh-oh!

Angelina apparently has a string of women she still hooks up with occasionally. “In her mind, it’s just sex. And since she wouldn’t fool around with a man, she doesn’t consider it cheating.” In fact, she will reserve rooms at the swank Roosevelt Hotel in La for “just a few hours” according to a hotel employee just to have alone time. Hmmmm.

It’s stories like this that really make my day! As a teen, Hole was one of my favorite bands… Heck, I still break out their CD’s to jam!

The Museum of Modern Art and Film Society of Lincoln Center announced today that the members of Hole will reunite to celebrate the first of two New Directors/New Films screenings of P. David Ebersole.s documentary, Hit So Hard at MoMA on Monday, March 28 at 6:00Pm.

Today's tween and teen audiences know him best as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, the genteel patriarch of a benevolent vampire family in the Twilight Saga and foster father to the brooding Edward Cullen. But long before playing the good doctor, even prior to his turn as a conceited jock in Can't Hardly Wait, Peter Facinelli made a whole different generation of youngsters swoon in another tale about girls and their high school dramarama.

We meet Peter Facinelli butt-first in 1996's Foxfire, naked save for a pair of boots. He poses, nude, in foliage. He runs, in slo-mo, through a stream to the sounds of Canadian rockers Wild Strawberries. He cavorts in the hottest teen styles of the '90s as Ethan, the "great" boyfriend of rollerblading protagonist Maddy Wirtz (Hedy Burress). Facinelli's Ethan may not have been the main attraction in this grrl power drama, but he sure made for a nice side dish.

As the bravo tv show Work Out bench-pressed its way into American consciousness over three seasons starting in 2006, gifts flooded in to Sky Sport & Spa. Most of the packages were addressed to Jackie Warner, the owner of the deluxe Beverly Hills gym and the star of the reality series. Clothing companies sent spandex shorts. Supplements companies sent bags of pills. And viewers sent mash notes. For many lesbians, Warner was an icon on par with actress-model Jenny Shimizu. For suburban housewives, she was a rare same-sex fantasy. For the overweight and undermuscled, she was hope for a better body. Some fans were so moved that they sent portraits they’d drawn or painted of the 5-foot, 8-inch superwoman, who resembles the love child of Pink and Scarlett Johansson. “I got a lot of creative stuff,” Warner says. “A guy from San Diego painted my portrait. It’s modern pop art.

She will if Sarah Silverman gets her way! Do you think Angelina would be right for this particular role?

Angelina Jolie may have come a long way since her days romancing Jenny Shimizu, but Sarah Silverman wants to see Angie go back to being a lesbian – onscreen, that is!

Brad Pitt’s baby mama professed her desire to work with Sarah recently, and the comedienne extraordinaire, 39, knows exactly what Angelina, 34, should play. “I always thought of her as Officer Tigs [on the Sarah Silverman Show], like a lesbian police woman,” Sarah told us March 16 at the Alliance for Children’s Rights Event in Los Angeles, Calif. “Or I can see [Angelina] as someone’s girlfriend.”

Whoa! We wonder what Brad, 46, would say about his partner tackling on a bi-curious role. Would he approve? If he’s not game to let his woman swing the other way, Sarah also tells us that she would basically...

Riddle me this. What do you get when you combine over 10,000 happy lesbians, daily pool parties, nightly dance parties, and enough alcohol to keep Amy Winehouse occupied for five days?

Rosie O'Donnell had a chance to romance Angelina Jolie before the movie star wed Billy Bob Thornton, but she was too afraid to book a dinner date with the actress.

The gay actress and TV personality has revealed Jolie once gave her her telephone number and the odd couple chatted, but the relationship never went any further.

In a radio chat with DJ Howard Stern on Monday, O'Donnell recalled, "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through.

"I was a little afraid of her. She’s scary in a sexual kind of way."

But she has never been able to get Jolie out of her mind: "I have dreams about her a lot still."

The Changeling star reportedly experimented with her sexuality before she wed Thornton - actress/model Jenny Shimizu has often claimed she was involved in a romance with the star a decade ago.
