Angelina Jolie Talks with USA Today

Stepping out for the premiere of her directorial debut ?In The Land of Blood and Honey,? Angelina Jolie opened up about not being the wild child she once was and being accepting of that.

The ?Salt? actress described her younger self to USA Today saying she once was ?experimental, bold and a bit nutty? and that she was ?absolutely self-destructive? in her early career.

Jolie continued, ?I think a lot of young people in this business lose their way. You don't know what is of value. You don't know where you are. And you know something's wrong, because it isn't life as it actually is," Jolie explains. "It's like living in some warped reality."

Furthermore, Angelina added, "once I started to learn about the world and I became grateful for everything that I certainly have. Since going through my first war zone, never have I woken up and not been simply grateful."

Emma Stone: Lunching in Los Angeles

Stepping out for a social call, Emma Stone was spotted having lunch in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (December 8).

The ?Easy A? actress donned a dark jacket and skinny jeans as she strolled out of the local eatery along with a gal pal, and headed back to her car.

Earlier this week, Emma?s hit movie ?The Help? hit stores and online retailers in DVD and Blu-Ray formats, just in time for holiday shopping season.

Stone told press, ?The interesting thing about the response to The Help is that I get fewer questions than stories. I think because it?s a movie about sharing your story. Even in interviews, Viola and I would be in a press junket and realize that most of the time and gone by and they hadn?t even asked us a question yet, because they?d be saying, ?I?m from the South and my grandmother went through this?? It really has made people tell me about their history and their family and what their experience was growing up, even if they?re not from the South. That?s been different from other movies. Less questions and more answers, I guess. It?s really cool.?
