Brad and Angelina Design Serpent-Themed Baby Gifts for Asprey

coutorture — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:03:25 PST

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have designed a snake-themed capsule collection of jewlery and baby gifts for British brand Asprey. Titled "The Protector" because Jolie considers the serpent shape a protector of her family, the collection was designed and conceived entirely by Jolie and Pitt.

Pieces include silver baby gifts-a baby spoon, egg cup, tooth box, and picture frame-each with serpent details and reptile pendants, rings, and bracelets for adults made with gold and micropave diamonds. Jolie wore one of the pieces, an emerald and diamond bracelet, with Armani Prive to the BAFTA awards earlier this year.

According to WWD, Jolie and Pitt have been working on the collection for over a year. When available later this week in Asprey stores worldwide, prices will start at $525 (for the baby spoon) and all net proceeds will go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, a charity co-founded by Jolie in 2006.

Pitt's last foray into jewelry design-wedding bands for his 2000 marriage to Jennifer Aniston-resulted in a $50 million dollar lawsuit against jeweler Diamiani when the brand reportedly sold Brad and Jennifer knockoff rings. We hope his partnership with Asprey is a happier one and will wait with bated breath for the Angelina-fronted advertising campaign.

>> BLOWING THE COVER —The November 2008 cover of W will not feature the work of Steven Klein or Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, but rather Brad Pitt. The actor shot Angelina Jolie and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt family at Chateau Miraval in the southern France last week, marking his first ever turn as cover photographer. Angelina and Brad appeared together on the W cover once before in 2005 (left). What a coup for W — especially considering the numbers the Jolie-Pitts just turned for People. [FWD]

>> Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady are the world's highest-paid celebrity couple in 2011, according to Forbes. Bundchen - who may be on track to becoming a billionaire, Forbes suggested earlier this year - is estimated to have earned $45 million between May 2010 and May 2011. Brady - who signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension last September with the New England Patriots - brought home $31 million in the same period, making their combined annual earnings $76 million. The couple topped Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z ($72 million), Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ($50 million), and David and Victoria Beckham ($45 million). [Forbes]

>> Philip Treacy is hoping to convince Brad Pitt to play him in the biopic he's putting together about Isabella Blow - "but it's wishful thinking and perhaps not very likely I know," he told Vogue UK. And he's got John Galliano signed on to play himself, Max Nesome writing the screenplay and Anders Palm producing. There's only been a hint about who might play Issie - but her widower, Detmar Blow, has piped up on who he thinks should do the job: “Rachel Weisz.” [WWD]

Revealed: Stefano Tonchi's First Cover Stars at W Magazine

>> The first peeks at Stefano Tonchi's stamp on W will come with the magazine's July issue, and a full redesign is planned for the September issue, but it's the August issue that will provide the first look at a Tonchi-overseen W cover: he's reportedly gone with Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall (costars in Ben Affleck's upcoming crime drama The Town)

It's not unheard of to have a couple cover at W - see Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or, more recently, Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston - but the Hamm-Hall duo is shorter on mass appeal than past W cover choices - an interesting decision for a W that's said to have a more general-interest lifestyle directive under Tonchi. Also interesting: Hall was just featured on the cover of T last August, when Tonchi was editor of that magazine.

Who's expected to be named editor at T?
