She is on a promotional blitz for her new film Salt, but today Angelina Jolie received some unwelcome media exposure. Never-before-seen pictures of the actress in a series of kinky S&M poses have been published in an American tabloid magazine.

Topless save for crosses of black tape across her breasts, she is seen posing provocatively with what looks like a leash around her neck. In a separate frame, she has black tape strapped across her mouth and in yet another she wears a blindfold. A black and white shot taken from behind shows her on a bed wearing just a G-string and cowboy hat.

The risqué pictures, said to be from 1999, were taken from an explosive unauthorised biography by Andrew Morton that is due for release some time next month. The book makes a host of outrageous claims about the actress’s past and her current relationship with Brad Pitt.

Of course, the 35-year-old Jolie is no stranger to scandal. She famously French-kissed her brother James Haven at the Oscars in 2000 and once sealed her love for former husband Billy Bob Thornton with a vial of blood. She has also admitted to lesbian liaisons, self-harming and cutting a lover in the throes of passion. Jolie recently said: ‘Brad knows me completely, exactly as I am, every part of me. He loves me.’

She has since reinvented herself as a UN Goodwill Ambassador and a mother to three adopted children: Maddox, 9, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and biological daughter, Shiloh, 4, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 2.

Avatar star Sam Worthington can barely keep his hands off girlfriend Natalie Mark

Avatar star Sam Worthington came over all blue on holiday with his girlfriend – but it was nothing to do with his role as a Na’vi on the mythical planet of Pandora. The Australian actor was seen sunning himself with his sizzling girlfriend Natalie Mark on the Amalfi coast in Italy, but the action between them got so saucy that they had to cool off by diving into the Adriatic sea. Sam could barely keep eyes – or hands – off his gorgeous Aussie fashion stylist girlfriend Natalie, 24, as she showed off her breathtaking figure in a teeny black and white print bikini.

At one point, he climbed on top of her as she sunbathed on a lounger – but as fellow holiday makers raised eyebrows, he managed to cool off by diving into the sea from the sun terrace of their beachside hotel. However, it wasn’t long before Natalie jumped into the water to have some water-based fun, before they indulged in a spot of snorkelling. Sam confesses that Natalie keeps his feet on the ground. He’s previously admitted: ‘She keeps me in line – she makes me do the washing.’

The couple have been dating for two years.

Material Girl meets Gossip Girl: Madonna and daughter Lourdes direct Taylor Momsen in fashion shoot

It must have been a little nerve-racking being directed in a fashion shoot by the Queen of Pop, but for Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen, the new face of Madonna and her daughter Lourdes’ Material Girl clothing line, it all seemed a bit of a breeze. And in typical fashion, Madonna took charge of the Manhattan shoot, taking photos herself and directing Taylor on how to pose for the snaps. ‘Madonna totally came in and intervened and re-did everything and positioned everything and put it into her own vibe,’ Taylor told Access Hollywood. ‘I think we [have] a very good working relationship. I think it went well.’ The 17-year-old looked sultry as she posed in a series of trendy outfits. Madonna’s 13-year-old daughter Lourdes, nicknamed Lola, was also on hand to help out. ‘Lola was here all day and she helped style the shoot. She’s a sweetheart,’ said Taylor, who plays Jenny Humphrey on the US TV series.

Madonna, who was dressed all in black, was taking a break from directing her first feature film W.E. in London.
