Read my lips... I'm Angelina Jolie's son! Little Knox proves he's inherited the star's famous bee-stung pout

Her plump lips have helped make her one of the most recognised and revered faces in Hollywood.
And it seems that Angelina Jolie's twin son Knox has hit the gene pool lottery.
The adorable three-year-old showed off a bee-sting pout almost identical to his mother's as the pair visited the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood over the weekend.

The duo were joined by Knox's father Brad Pitt, who once again wore his black all-in-one jumpsuit, which he had been sporting the week before when the family went to see Cirque Du Soleil in Santa Monica.

Like Brad, Angelina was also dressed in head-to-toe black, slipping her slim figure into a pair of black trousers and matching sweater.
The couple's other children were not spotted, but the family did arrive in a giant blacked out SUV.
Despite being the pictured perfect image of a doting mother and humanitarian, Brad has recently revealed that his partner continues to have a naughty side behind closed doors.

Brad Pitt: Angelina Jolie Is 'Still a Bad Girl'

Angelina Jolie recently told 60 Minutes that, despite her philanthropic efforts and six children, she still has a dark side – something her partner Brad Pitt now happily confirms.
"She's still a bad girl," a grinning Pitt, 48, said Monday on CBS This Morning. "Delightfully so. It's not for public consumption."
It might be one of the only private aspects of his and 36-year-old Jolie's family life, which is often in the spotlight as the couple travels around the world with their children in tow.
"They're quite used to a bit of jetlag and moving to a new location, as long as we're together," Pitt told co-host Charlie Rose of their brood. "So the home's always intact. They've got to pack their own bags, and they're responsible if they leave their chargers behind, and so on and so forth."
Of their children – Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, and Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 3 – Pitt told Rose of the sheer joy the family has "because we are together," and how the best actor Oscar nominee's work has even "gotten better because I worry less about it. I mean, it's not as important as family."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took Vivienne and Knox to a screening of Lady and the Tramp at Hollywood's El Capitan Theater yesterday.
Inside Oscar Nominees Luncheon: Hammond
Today’s
31st annual Oscar nominees luncheon was typically relaxed and collegial
— a place where there were only winners, at least for today — and
contenders could catch up with old friends who also just happen to be
rivals in this year’s race.So there were Best Actor nominees George Clooney and Brad Pitt walking into the ballroom together deep in conversation. And Best Picture producing nominees Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese walked up to the risers, arms around each other, standing together until Academy COO Ric Robertson called their names to come up onstage and get their nomination certificates. All the 150 (out of 188) of Oscar’s class of 2011 lined up more or less alphabetically for the annual “class photo” — starting with Transformers: Dark Of The Moon nominee Erik Aadahl and ending more than a half-hour later with Moneyball co-screenwriter Steven Zaillian. At my table, Hugo screenwriting nominee John Logan observed, “Scanning this stage how can you not be getting your heart beating?” Our table-mates included Academy Governor Paul Mazursky, Iron Lady makeup artist Mark Coulier, Moneyball sound-mixing nominee Ed Novick and past Academy President Arthur Hiller. Logan listened raptly as Hiller recalled the making of The Americanization of Emily and The Hospital, both written by screenplay god Paddy Chayefsky.
All the tables mixed nominees from various disciplines. Academy
President Tom Sherak noted in opening remarks that the seating
arrangements were deliberate since all nominees were equal and all
films were equal. There was no War Horse or Descendants table,
just a collegial family feeling. Sherak also revealed that this year’s
Governors Ball would not be a sit-down dinner as in the past, but rather
a party atmosphere with food and drink and “mingling”. It’s a good idea
because sitting down at that event is never easy for winners — or those
who go home without Oscars. As for this sit-down lunch — which began 31
years ago when just 40 nominees showed up — Sherak said, “We know
awards season can be exhausting. Today is about taking a moment, taking a
breath and realizing what a special family this is… So take the
applause. This is probably the last time you’ll be applauding each
other.”
One of the games pundits play at this event is trying to gauge the amount of applause each nominee receives as their name is called by Robertson to receive their certificate of nomination. By that measure it was no contest: 82-year-old Max von Sydow. He told me he had cracked six ribs a few days earlier and was the only one of the 150 in attendance to be seated on a chair in front of the risers throughout the certificate ceremony. Several friends made a point of saying hello as they made their way to the stage and by the time his name was finally called the place erupted with the biggest hand of the day. Clooney, Pitt, Gary Oldman, Jean Dujardin, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Octavia Spencer and Glenn Close were among others who scored impressively on the applause-o-meter, but I would say Viola Davis and Demian Bichir probably eclipsed them. After lunch Harvey Weinstein stopped by Bichir’s table to congratulate him. “That was a lot of applause you got. I saw Clooney and Pitt looking nervous, even my guy” Dujardin from The Artist, he said. I showed Bichir an email I had received earlier morning from an Academy member who had just seen his film. “We watched it last night, and my view on immigration has totally changed. It was a very poignant and meaningful film, which we loved and were totally moved,” it read. Bichir, clearly touched, said that was exactly the kind of response he hoped his nomination would elicit. Bichir also started a trend when his name was called by bowing and blowing a kiss to his fellow nominees on the risers.
Speaking of Weinstein, he ran into Ludivic Bource, Oscar-nominated composer of The Artist,
in the Hilton lobby before lunch and Bource proudly presented him with
the entire written score autographed with his thanks. Bource also made
Harvey turn to one specific blank page where it said, “Love Theme From
Vertigo”, and just below was his handwritten note: “Call Kim
Novak”. Weinstein cracked up at the reference to Novak who took out a
trade ad complaining about the inclusion of a small part of Bernard
Herrmann’s Vertigo music in one scene in the film. When I caught up with The Artist Best
Actor nominee and SAG winner Dujardin I congratulated him on his recent
Leno appearance where he killed with his John Travolta impression. “And
John Wayne too,” he reminded. “I liked Jay Leno. He is a nice man. He
has 130 cars. He said he drove the French car Citroen that day in my
honor and showed me his parking spot.” Dujardin was heading back to
Paris shortly after the lunch and then on to next weekend’s BAFTA awards
in London.
Later
during lunch 84th Oscar show producers Brian Grazer and Don Mischer
took the stage to congratulate the nominees, beg them to be brief and
meaningful in their acceptance speeches, and offering a few details
about the show (which will not include performances of the two nominated
songs. What? No Muppets?). “Billy Crystal has a fantastic film with all
of you and your movies in it to open the show,” said Grazer who also
emphasized the producing pair’s goals, basically to be funny with lots
of comedy, to have some class and to come in on time. The theme this
year will be the importance of a shared experience seeing films in an
actual movie theatre. As such the Kodak (or whatever it’s called by show
time) will be outfitted like a classic movie palace. As for speeches
Mischer emphasized “Speak from the heart. Tell us how you feel. We hope
you will give that thought. Be memorable and you will be remembered. If
you just read off a long list of names no one will remember you,” he
said. Actually if Brad Pitt gets up and reads a list I have a feeling
people will still remember him. With that they rolled the annual Tom
Hanks filmed primer on the proper way to accept an Oscar.
If
only the Oscars ceremony could have the relaxed vibe of this event it
would be a completely different show. Academy first VP Hawk Koch says
it is a one-of-a-kind thing. “I just had the most incredible thing
happen to me here,” he said. ”I talked to (supporting actress
nominee) Octavia Spencer and she said, ‘don’t you remember me?’ I asked
where I met her and she said she was an assistant in the casting
department on The Long Walk Home, the movie I produced in Alabama in 1990!”Only at the Oscar nominees lunch.
A Harbinger of a Longish Awards Show

Monica Almeida/The New York TimesBrad Pitt at the Academy Award nominees luncheon.
Mr. Grazer promised a show that will have comedy, class, and be on time. “I think it’s gonna be fun,” he offered, sounding just a little big like his “aw-shucks” movie-producing partner, Ron Howard.
But some minutes later, a video homily by Tom Hanks on how to give a short Oscar speech was still unspooling its tips, as nominees like Glenn Close and hangers-on like this reporter slipped out the ballroom door.
Tom Sherak, the academy’s president, had opened the luncheon with an admonition that the Oscar show should last only three hours. But even the nominees luncheon stretched toward that mark. That was partly because Mr. Sherak spoke at length, and made a point of introducing the new talent manager for the Oscar show, the outgoing talent manager, the supervising producer, 29 of the academy’s governors and a whole pack of past presidents.
Then came the ritual nominees photograph, and the handing out of nomination certificates, one by one, in alphabetical order. Meryl Streep, deep into the “S”s, gamely lounged on the top row of a stadium-style photo set, waiting for the likes of Aaron Sorkin and Olivia Spencer to pick up their certificates first.
You have to wonder what Ms. Streep does with all those certificates — this is her 17th. Maybe that’s what she and Brad Pitt were chit-chatting about while they waited their turn. Notably, Mr. Pitt took a spot next to Ms. Streep in the top row, even though the other “P”s were generally aligned a step or two beneath. Stars attract stars of similar magnitude, it seems.
Max von Sydow had an even longer wait for his certificate. But Mr. von Sydow was incredibly close, as he sat in the front row rather than standing way on top, and the applause when he stepped up was extremely loud. The last guy to get his honor was Steve Zaillian, as a writer of “Moneyball.” As a life-long member of the “Z”s, alphabetically speaking, Mr. Zaillian looked resigned to his long wait in line. He lounged against a rail on the top row, waited for Michelle Williams and one or two others to pick up their paperwork, then picked up his, with a smile for the crowd.
Oscar Nominees Luncheon: Rooney Mara Talks Super Bowl, George Clooney Enjoys "Free Booze"
Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesThe Beverly Hilton hotel was packed earlier today for the Academy's annual nominees luncheon.
What went down and what was everyone talking about?
Things got off to a nice start when George Clooney announced to reporters during the pre-lunch press conferences, "I thought I'd get here early—free booze!"
Rooney Mara was in Indianapolis yesterday for the Super Bowl. If for some reason you don't know by now, the Mara family owns the New York Giants. "It was really fun," she said. "It was very exciting. It was great."
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star said she hasn't found an Oscar dress yet. She also told me that she's "signed up for the other two" Dragon Tattoo flicks, "but I'm not sure when we're going to start doing them."
Jonah Hill said he has been the victim of Moneyball costar Brad Pitt's pranks. "I call him the Bobby Fischer of pranks because you try to prank him and he's immediately three moves ahead of you," Hill explained.
Pitt revealed that fellow Best Actor nominee Demián Bichir gave him a bottle of tequila from his native Mexico.
Bichir said he hoped his nomination for his work as an immigrant worker in Los Angeles in A Better Life would bring more attention to immigration issues. "This could make a big difference if the right people see the film, if the guys in Congress take a look at it and get touched by it," he said.
The one awkward moment during the press conference? When a reporter from French newspaper Le Monde asked The Artist star Jean Dujardin if he thought his recent naughty movie poster controversy would hurt his chances of winning the Oscar.
Said reporter was immediately shut down when the press conference moderator cut her off and moved on to the next question.
Once inside the ballroom, nominees were called onto the wooden riser for the annual portrait. They were then given certificates and a commemorative sweatshirt. Yup, a sweatshirt!
Oscar coproducer Brian Grazer and Don Mischer announced that the home of the Oscars, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, would be transformed to have the look of a "timeless" movie house for the big night.
A short film narrated by Tom Hanks about the do's and don'ts of an Oscar acceptance speech followed.
The take away? Make it memorable, but no more than the allotted 45 seconds.
Because no one likes being cut off by the orchestra.
