The basic design of the Ghillie shoe has a soft sole with sides that go partway up the foot, joined with sturdy laces which may wrap around the ankle and up the leg so the shoe is secure. Great with short skirts, jumpers or khakis.

Jolie added that she wants the film’s cast to include actors of all ethnicities from the country formerly known as Yugoslavia.

Although she’s been promoting her film Salt across the world, Jolie has been on a break from film work since Tourist wrapped; Pitt is currently filming Moneyball in Los Angeles.

“I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can,Diesel,” she said.

The mother of six made a surprise visit to the Eastern European nation on Saturday, meeting with various leaders there to discuss the plight of returning war refugees.

No word on whether Jolie’s famous children or beau, Brad Pitt, will reside with her in Sarajevo during filming.

The as-yet untitled flick is a romance set against the 1992-1995 Bosnian War, Reuters reports; Jolie, 35, will play one half of a couple that meets just before the savage war begins.

Of course, it is something inspired by the hippie dippie sixties (Richie’s fave decade),ffxiv gil, but it has a modern edge.

PHOTOS: Hollywood homewreckers

Cibrian, 37, shares custody of his sons with Glanville, 37, with whom he divorced last year after having a fling with Rimes on the set of a Lifetime movie (Rimes also filed for divorce from husband Dean Sheremet).

Rimes shot back, “I do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t share our happiness. Please remember I’m a part of their lives too. Seems people don’t give credit to that.”

On Twitter,True Religion, a fan blasted Rimes, 28, after the country crooner kept referring to Glanville’s sons, Mason, 7, and Jake, 3, as her “boys.”

I am always asked what is a chic transition piece to buy that will go over basically everything you own and will never go out of style no matter what. The answer is always a trench coat! I happen to love Isaac Mizrahi Live’s chic and sweet trench, which is a must have for spring. It’s so chic and looks like it fits like a gem. It’s $98.40, which is so much of a better deal than a Burberry trench — which, I love, believe me, but I can’t slap down those funds so easily.

Bleeding love!

“If we go from a base level, vampires create a hole in the neck where there wasn’t one before,” the actor says. (See behind-the-scenes pics from their cover shoot) “It’s a de-virginization…creating blood and then drinking the virginal blood. And there’s something sharp, the fang, which is probing and penetrating and moving into it. So that’s pretty sexy.”

He adds, laughing: “Plus,Louis Vittion, Robert Pattinson is just hot, right?”

Covered in gobs of fake blood, Paquin, her real-life fiance Moyer and Skaarsgard get completely naked — and reveal secrets from the HBO smash — for the mag.
