After a two-day visit to Cambodia, the 29-year-old star stopped in the Thai capital of Bangkok earlier this week to have a tiger tattooed on her lower back by a well-known local artist, The Nation newspaper reported Friday.
Jolie, whose movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was shot partly at Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple, spent more than two hours at a hotel Wednesday having the foot-long image applied by renowned tattooist Sompong Kanphai, the newspaper said.
It was the actress' second tattoo by Sompong, who in April of last year applied an image featuring ancient Cambodian script, designed to ward off bad luck.
Jolie reportedly said she flew back to Bangkok expressly to get the latest tattoo because the first one made her feel that her life was filled with luck. Sompong chanted an ancient hymn to bless the latest tattoo, according to The Nation.

Iowa Granny: I wasn't able to make the 25,000 a plate dinner, but I did attend a short private meeting with The President and the federal judge candidates and local US Congressional Candidates.
With all this campaigning I do not have a moment's rest so I apologize for not being around.
She's full of something. Maybe the tattoo ink has gone to her little pea brain, bless her heart.
News flash: Is John Kerry a metrosexual? When a fan backstage at Thursday night's Kerry concert asked how he gets his smile so bright, the presidential candidate blurted, "I bleach my teeth!" Ny Post
Here's a snippet from a good NY Daily News column, Where's the beef? The Edwards lift shows how issue-lite Kerry's campaign is :
The uncertain core is a reason why Kerry could guffaw and giggle during the raunchfest his Hollywood pals staged at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday night. Even Dean had the sense to blow the whistle on poor taste among supporters.
Not Kerry. Like a hermit crab in search of a safe house, he has now settled into Edwards' us-against-them shell. It's a slogan without an honest policy backbone, unless Kerry is prepared to deliver huge new government programs for 90% of the population.
Clinton is in Germany, still criticizing President Bush:
HAMBURG, Germany - On his first stop in Europe to promote his autobiography, "My Life," former President Bill Clinton told German television Saturday that the United States should have given more time [More than 12 years, that is] to weapons inspectors to search for weapons of mass destruction. He further criticized President Bush for attempting to push the United States too far to the right and for its unilateral action in Iraq.
"I wouldn't have invaded Iraq," he told ZDF television. [But he had no qualms about invading Americans' homes, e.g., the Branch Davidians or Elian Gonzales' relative's house]
Clinton was met before his TV taping by a throng of fans outside the Four Seasons hotel where he was staying, and shook hands with about 100 people there. [100 is a throng?]
During the television interview, Clinton further lauded presidential candidate John F. Kerry. "People can identify with him," he said. [LOL!]
He told interviewer Johannes Kerner that he wore a colorful ribbon around his wrist because he received it as a gift from a child on a visit to Colombia. "The ribbon tells me that I have absolutely no problems compared to the courageous people there," he said.
Clinton continues his tour of Germany in Berlin on Sunday. AP story

[But he had no qualms about invading Americans' homes, e.g., the Branch Davidians or Elian Gonzales' relative's house]

Or Randy Weaver's home, either.
Good day, everyone.

July 10, 2004 -- A weeping and cursing Courtney Love was rushed from her SoHo apartment to a hospital wearing a camisole and handcuffs yesterday on her 40th birthday, after telling cops she had an abortion. A distraught Love, wearing a lace-trimmed camisole and covered with a white sheet, yelled "What?" and "Help!" after photographers snapped pictures as EMS brought her outside on a stretcher around 6 p.m.
When a medical technician tried to adjust the sheet to better cover her, Love screamed, "F---! Get away from me." Her stretcher was put into the ambulance and she could be heard yelling "Help!" before its doors closed and she was taken to Bellevue. ...
... Then, at 5:15 p.m., 911 received a call from Love's address reporting that a woman was bleeding from the vagina after a miscarriage. Love's lawyer, Michael Rosenstein, said the incident involved "a gynecological medical condition." "It is not a suicide attempt, not drug-related, not drug-overdose-related," he said. full story

This is kind of funny, an account by a former hostess at a trendy NY bar, with anecdotes about Star Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Chelsea Clinton and Barbara Bush (the younger), The Hostess Diary: my year at a hot spot (NY Times, registration required).
An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues:
"I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Yesterday, I picked up two college girls hitchhiking. We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times."
Priest: "Are you sorry for your sins?"
Man: "What sins?"
Priest: "What kind of a Catholic are you?"
Man: "I'm Jewish."
Priest: "Why are you telling me all this?"
Man: "I'm telling everybody."
Pinhead, huh? I'll bet its mom is glad she went through labor for that.
Good Morning! Glad you liked my joke! 68 degrees here at 5:30 am.
Funniest thing I've read in years. Thanks.
A cooling rain last evening has temporarily dropped our summer heat.
Good Monday morning, everyone.
Cindy Adams confirms what I suspected, Mrs. Edwards wears polyester!!!She certainly only has one way to go in her appearance and that is up!!!Her children are almost obscenely fashionably dressed-she does not buy their clothes at Wal-Mart, yet she does not seem to care what she wears.
More tidbits:Teresa said to me: "We have an exhausting tour coming up. To make all this work, I'm taking vitamins. Actually, a whole combination of them.(TERESA NEEDS TO READ UP ON MARTHA MITCHELL-SHE THOUGHT ALL THE PILLS THEY GAVE HER WERE VITAMINS TOO, I BET, hee hee) As for the wardrobe, I'm wearing lots of Ralph Lauren. You need pantsuits for traveling and I can't wear too wide-legged ones. His hang easily and look really well. All I really know right now is that next month is going to be crazy."(I HOPE TERESA IS NOT PAYING FULL PRICE FOR HER RALPH LAUREN CLOTHES...STEINMART HAS THEM AT DISCOUNT)
The Candidate Himself, when I asked how much sleep he's getting: "Why, do I look tired? Can you tell I haven't been getting enough. Does it show?"(YEAH, IT SHOWS, LOL)
I don't know whether Elizabeth Edwards buys her clothes at Wal-Mart, but she certainly doesn't put forth much of an effort (I'll say, diplomatically).
WHICH hard-partying daughters of a politician should be careful when they visit the ladies' room? The other night on the roof of the Gramercy Park Hotel, they nearly got caught in a cocaine blizzard. ...
DONALD Trump is itching to tell President Bush, "You're fired!" The real-estate mogul tells Esquire that the United States should have captured Osama bin Laden by now. "Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's 6-foot-6 and supposedly needs a dialysis machine? . . . Can you explain that one to me?" Not one for false modesty, The Donald goes on to say that if he were president, the terror-master "would have been caught long ago." [Call me petty, but I'll listen to Donald Trump when his hair doesn't look like a raccoon coat caught in a wind tunnel]....
AL Franken has his heart set on running for senator in his home state of Minnesota. While he floated the rumor that he was interested earlier this month, the comic's pals said his mind is all but made up. "It is all he talks about, and he is really serious about going through with it," said a source. A rep for Franken called the possible run a "rumor." If Franken doesn't want to wait until 2008 to challenge Republican Sen. Norm Coleman, he can challenge fellow Democrat Sen. Mark Dayton in 2006. ...
