She is known for her flawless appearance, but Angelina Jolie was seen sporting bizarre marks on her neck while filming her latest movie in Venice.

The actress appeared to have developed two large tucks of skin underneath her right ear. The skin also appeared red and sore.

These latest pictures will fuel speculation that the 34-year-old may have had a ‘ribbon lift’- the latest Hollywood plastic surgery craze.

The £4,000 procedure is thought to be behind Superstar Madonna’s wrinkle-free skin.

It involves having a small cut made near the earlobe so a thread of absorbable ribbon can be implanted.

The procedure heals within 12 weeks and makes the skin of the neck appear tighter.

Plastic surgeon Abel Mounir told People: ‘It looks as though she’s received the ribbon treatment from the gathering of skin just below her ear lobe.

‘But the picture makes it look as though the fixed mechanism of the ribbon has snapped, resulting in the U-shaped indent under the skin.

‘Even if she has not had the ribbon facelift specifically, it appears she has definitely had some minimal invasive surgery done.’

An onlooker in Venice said: ‘She looked very, very odd.

‘She is usually flawless but the marks are very peculiar. The two prongs of skin have been stretched off her face towards her neck.

She certainly looks like she’s feeling the strain over something.’

Jolie has always denied going under the knife.

After giving birth to her 19-month-old twins with partner Brad Pitt the actress even opted for a ‘natural’ photo shoot, shunning airbrushing and make-up.

Jolie and Pitt, 46, arrived at Marco Polo Airport in a private plane along with the actress’s father Jon Voight. It was the first time she had seen Voight in over eight years after a long-running feud.

The couple are staying in a 15th-century palazzo with their six children: daughter Shiloh, three, 19-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne and adopted Maddox, eight, Pax, six, and five-year-old Zahara.

The pair needed two speedboats to get their brood and all of their luggage to their accommodation.

Jolie and Pitt have recently threatened legal action after rumours that they are about to split.

Leona’s a Total 10!

Leona Lewis has slimmed down from a size 14 to a size 10 after embarking on a strict month-long detox regime.

The 24-year-old singer, who has always flown the flag for ‘normal’, curvy women, decided to change her diet after a lengthy spell in the recording studio.

She said: ‘I went on a detox at the end of summer last year and basically ate vegetables and nothing processed.

‘I didn’t drink anything but water for a month! I usually drink lots of water anyway, so it wasn’t a crazy, dramatic change to my lifestyle, but I just really wanted to try it and see how I felt.

‘And after being in the studio a while, I started doing shows and getting more active. I only did the detox for a little while, but it must have kick-started something in me because everyone keeps saying: “Wow, you’ve lost weight!” and I’m like: “Cool!”‘

“You’ll have to wait a while yet,” says Prince William

Prince William let slip yesterday that the country might be waiting a little longer for another royal wedding.

The 27-year-old prince — who vowed he wouldn’t get married before his 28th birthday in June this year — revealed his thoughts on the issue as he toured a centre for visually impaired ex-servicemen in North Wales.

Chatting with Corporal Simon Brown, who was blinded by a sniper in Iraq three years ago, the royal admired the soldier’s glass eye which had been emblazoned with a Union Jack, remarking: ‘Very patriotic’. Cheeky Simon, 31, joked: ‘Well, I’m trying to get an invite to your wedding.’

‘Oh, you’ll have to wait a while yet,’ replied a laughing William, who has been dating his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton for more than seven years.

The prince also proved he was game when he agreed to try his hand at archery wearing a blindfold.
