She is one of the most photographed women in the world - and now one of the most tattooed.

After attending the world premiere of her latest movie, Angelina Jolie revealed her latest set of body art - geographical map coordinates accurately detailing the countries of birth of each member of her "rainbow family".

Walking down the red carpet in Cannes to promote her movie, A Mighty Heart, the 31-year-old actress kept the new tattoos hidden, using her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, as a human shield.
The tattoo on Angelina Jolie's left arm show's the map coordinates for the birthplaces of her children. The actress also appeared to be bruised - a common side effect of tattooing.
But as the couple made their way down the festival's famous Croisette in a chauffeur-driven car afterwards, the four-part scribing on her left shoulder was plainly visible.

It's less fierce than a cat eye that lines the entire eye, but it's equally sexy. Get a look like Angelina Jolie's by using a neutral shadow on the lid, then line the entire upper lid and extend the liner up a bit past the eye. "For a more dramatic approach, make the line thicker towards the outer corner," says makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff. Make a very small line on the outer-corner of the lower lashline and finish with mascara.

Angelina Jolie does not carry a cell phone. She doesn't wear a watch. She doesn't have an e-mail address. Though she's always had a manager, she employs no publicist or agent, because she doesn't like the idea of anyone speaking on her behalf. "Also," she says, "I just don't get along with a lot of people." The huge walk-in closet in the house in Beverly Hills that she shares with husband Billy Bob Thornton is filled with his clothes. Hers take up one little rack. She frequently travels by herself with nothing but a backpack and a duffel bag. "Everybody says, 'How can you go to the airport alone? How are you going to change planes?'" she says. "And I'm like, 'God. I remember I used to be able to do this. I swear I can.' It's freedom! I like to feel free."

Mostly, people call her Angie. As her husband points out, "To say 'Angelina' sounds like you're about to recite a poem." It takes a little getting used to—thinking of her as Angie—but once you do, it goes a long way toward dispelling many of the preconceived notions about Angelina, a name that calls up all sorts of conflicting associations: light and dark, good and bad, heaven and hell. Angie, on the other hand, does not. In fact, Angie sounds an awful lot like the nickname of a girl whose mother grew up hanging out in a bowling alley in Chicago.

The media Angelina is steeped in Gothy darkness. There's the vial of Thornton's blood she wears around her neck on a long silver chain, the preference for black clothes and pale makeup, the many tattoos, the early fascination with knives, the confessed bisexuality, the public display of sisterly love at the Oscars that many felt was a little creepy. The actual Angie takes giddy pride in being a "really good wife" and stepmother to Thornton's two boys from another marriage, calls her mother every day, doesn't smoke, stays home most nights and watches TV, and is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR). But, really, haven't we always suspected there was more—much more—to her than the sum of Angelina's peculiarities? If not, then you heard it here first.

She's not so strange.
