    Then: Model Angelina Jolie Voight, 15, rocked a hat that was equal parts "Blossom" and Captain Hook during a 1991 photo shoot. Her ensemble was completed with an, um, interesting floral top and slim-fit pants that we're guessing would show too little leg for Jolie's liking nowadays! The daughter of actor Jon Voight was just six years away from her Golden Globe-winning roles in TNT's "George Wallace" and HBO's "Gia," which put her on Hollywood's radar.

    Now: Today, Jolie is a role model on how to have it all. The 37-year-old, who won an Oscar in 2000 for "Girl, Interrupted," shares six children with her fiancé Brad Pitt (who also took some fun pics in his teen years), as well as a respected career in film. When she's not busy with either of those things, she acts as special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, advocating for people who can't fight for themselves. Last week, Jolie did another good deed when she went public with the fact she recently underwent a preventative

  • Remember Paris Hilton? She’s Working on a New Album … Seriously

    Paris Hilton (Michael Buckner/Getty Images)Here's a name we haven't heard in a awhile: Paris Hilton.

    Remember her? The 32-year-old socialite was the Kim Kardashian of her day — in fact Kardashian was once her sidekick — with reality shows, fragrances, shoes, clothing, and every product you can think of stamped with her name.

    Now the blond hotel heiress, who first demonstrated that it was possible to be famous for being famous, is attempting a musical comeback. Just like Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, she's signed with Cash Money Records to create a new album.

    At the Cannes Film Festival underway in France, Hilton revealed to Showbiz411 that she's currently recording her second album, which will feature label mate Lil Wayne. Hilton is also working with producer Afrojack, whom she was once rumored to be dating, and expects it to be out by the summer.

  • Yes, That Really Is Brad Pitt Dressed as a Cheerleader

    Every time you turn around, there's Brad Pitt looking all sexy.

    Is it even possible for the "World War Z" star to take a bad photo?

    Actually, yes it is!

    Yahoo! has exclusively obtained a batch of pics that show the 49-year-old is not always picture perfect. At least once, the camera caught him with his eyes closed … while he was dressed as a cheerleader with pom pom hair in support of Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri, no less.

    Of course,

    Michael C. Hall is moving.

    As the Showtime series "Dexter" prepares to air its eighth and final season in June, its 42-year-old star has plunked down $3.825 million for a six-bedroom, six-bathroom home in L.A.'s trendy Los Feliz neighborhood, Zillow reports.

  • Kristen Wiig: ‘SNL’ Is Really Hard to Watch Now

    Kristen Wiig (Paola Kudacki/Harper's Bazaar)Kristen Wiig went out of her way to dress terribly on "Saturday Night Live."

    The 39-year-old actress played the mischievous student Gilly; Judy, the woman with freakishly small hands on "The Lawrence Welk Show"; and a cast of other characters during seven seasons of the sketch comedy program before leaving last year.

    "When people first started recognizing me, they always gave me a second look because they didn't really know what I looked like," Wiig explains in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. "For a long time it was my job to be an unattractive older woman or a creepy-looking child."

  • Painting of a Topless Bea Arthur Fetches $1.9 Million at Auction

    Bea Arthur Naked (Christie's)Now this is Bea Arthur as you've never seen her before.

    But a work of art that depicts her as topless sold at a Christie's auction for a whopping $1.9 million in New York on Wednesday.

    The artwork fetched an exorbitant price, even though Arthur never actually posed for the artist, John Currin, whose style focuses on women in the buff.

    Then: In July 1986, 22-month-old Prince Harry was an adorable tot already in the spotlight thanks to his beloved mum, the then-25-year-old Princess Diana, and his father, Prince Charles, who happened to be the heir to the British throne. Young Harry, grinning and clothed in a British Army uniform, offered a glimpse at what we could expect from him in the future as he frolicked in the yard at Highgrove House, which continues to be Prince Charles's country home in Gloucestershire, England. No one would have predicted that the charitable Princess Di would be killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
