Angelina's Curious Case of Amusement at the Button Premiere

Angelina Jolie decided to change strategy at The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’s Los Angeles premiere on Monday night.

Ambling down the red carpet with partner and “Button” star, Brad Pitt, something seemed terribly funny and I don’t think it was the movie. She laughed at nobody in particular, played hide & seek with other attendees, tried to affectionately ingratiate herself with Brad’s parents and generally looked over the moon about life.

Brad didn’t seem nearly as happy and kept that sexy smouldering look on his face at all times allowing a small smile to creep out every now and then.

This was a big change for Angelina, usually she sexes it up in her moody big lipped way but this was a new side we were witnessing. Could she have been trying hard to promote Brad and her chances at Oscar glory? Or was she just trying to show Brad’s parents she can be all warm and fuzzy?

Not sure we are buying it.

She had this to say about Brad’s performance in the movie:

"I'm very, very proud. Mainly, I have seen every day he went to work just how hard he worked, how hard the director worked, and Cate -- and just how dedicated they were. It's been a big process; it's a very trying film. So, I am just so happy that it came out so beautifully and their work is going to be recognized. . . I cried, it's so beautiful. It's so touching. It's lovely; it's just a wonderful picture."

Ok we get it. It’s a good movie.

The premiere was also attended by a bevy of celebrities including Button’s other star Cate Blanchett wearing some bizarre glittery bell outfit as well as Tilda Swinton, a hot looking Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria and Gary Oldman.

Curious to see how “Button” performs award wise.
