ANGELINA JOLIE NEARLY CAUSES RIOT: ANGELINA JOLIE'S humanitarian visit to Tunisia yesterday almost caused a riot. Apparently the Libyan refugees she came to visit aren't as out of touch with pop culture as you'd think.


A photographer for the X17Online website reports the refugees were so excited to see the her, they began chanting, "Angelina Jolie, we want to die for you!" The photog adds, "The people were beyond excited to see her. The crowd was closing in on her and her security detail. It was intense."


Things got so out of hand the U.N. Goodwill Ambassador was forced to cut the visit short. Maybe they thought she was there to adopt one of them!!!???

Speaking of Jolie ... the new tatt on her left arm has many wondering if it means she's secretly adopted another child.
A closer look at the tattoo featuring global co-ordinates of the birthplaces of her six children revealed a seventh set had been added recently. But "In Touch" magazine says they are not child related. The latitude and longitude is that of BRAD PITT'S birthplace in Oklahoma. The tab's source says "it signifies family unity."

WHY BRITNEY HAS PACKED ON THE POUNDS: BRITNEY SPEARS ought to be on top of the world what with a new #1 C.D. and tour about to get underway, but instead, she’s packed on 30 pounds … the heaviest she’s ever been.And that’s the real reason she seemed listless and couldn’t keep up with her dancers during a 3-song set for “Good Morning America” the other week.

One insider says her weight gain is partly because of depression, drinking and junk food. But the main source is her unhappiness with the court-ordered control her father still has over her life. Brit was hoping to be freed of it this year, but when she found out that wasn’t happening, she started packing on the pounds.

Speaking of "winning" ... Charlie has applied for trademarks on 22 of his catchphrases, including "Duh, Winning" and "Tiger Blood".

Vatican Assassin, Rock Star from Mars, Sober Valley Lodge, Sheen's Goddesses, and the two phrases that make up the title of his live show, "Violent Torpedo of Truth" and "Defeat Is Not an Option" are also on his wish list. No word on what exactly he plans to do with them should he get the trademarks.
