Sit down for this one, it’s huge – Angelina Jolie’s haircut looks marginally different to how it usually looks.

Sorry if that just blew your mind. But we can’t keep news this gigantic away from you – Angelina Jolie has changed her haircut. True, Angelina only changed it for a film – and she’s only put a couple of wigs on rather than properly changing her actual hair – but still, eh? Blimey.

It’s hard to see how Jennifer Aniston will top this – maybe in her next film she’ll wear some glasses or a nice hat or something. Goodness, this rivalry is brutal.

Angelina Jolie’s career path is an easy one to predict. Every summer she’ll release a barely-watched action movie about a tattooed woman who likes to shoot things in slow motion, and every winter she’ll release a harrowing real-life story about a woman who cries a lot because she thinks this will win her an Oscar even though it never does.

And since Angelina Jolie’s last movie was Changeling – for which she didn’t win any Oscars – that can only mean that her next film will be a hokey, slightly low-rent action film. And guess what? It is.

Angelina Jolie’s next film will be Salt, a film that’s either about a hotshot superspy or some salt. We haven’t got round to looking it up yet. And, just because it’s not one of Angelina Jolie’s highbrow Oscarbait movies, it doesn’t mean that she’s not completely dedicated to the production.

For A Mighty Heart, for instance, Angelina Jolie became friends with the woman she was portraying onscreen, learnt how to perfectly mimic her accent, explored the extremes of human emotion to give the agonising story a sense of verisimilitude and risked controversy by blacking up for it.

Meanwhile, for Salt, Angelina Jolie has decided to put a couple of wigs on. The Envelope reports:

Angelina Jolie will play a spy who wears a lot of different disguises — including blond and brunet banged wigs — in the new spy thriller from director Phillip Noyce called “Salt.” “She’s a character you never know,” says producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura “People who think they know the real her may or may not. Those who think they can tell whether she’s in a disguise also may or may not.”

You hear that, Brad Pitt? The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button may have broken the mould in terms of three-dimensional facial manipulation technology, but Angelina Jolie is willing to put a couple of wigs on when she makes a film. She’s the powerhouse in this relationship, and you’d do well to remember that.

Incidentally, you may remember Salt as the movie that had to be completely rewritten when Tom Cruise dropped out and Angelina Jolie took his place. That means that this was almost a story about Tom Cruise having a slightly different haircut than normal. Thank God it wasn’t. We honestly don’t think we’d have been able to take the excitement.
