(Because we all need a good laugh once in a while, especially after all the hullabaloo after the storms and election talk… this true story is worth a good snicker or two!)

Designer duds, decadent highs and murderous lows… Hollywood has just announced that Angelina will be staring in a Gucci-centric film next year.

Now before all the Tiny Tim’s, Celine’s and DJ’s out there get their knickers all twisted out of shape, Jolie’s movie does not center around Manille’s debaucherous “high” society (Come on, puh-leez!) – Jolie’s Hollywood flick is a theatrical, if not sartorial, step toward the Gucci scandals of the fashion empire.

According to reports, Jolie will be stretching her acting muscles as the femme fatale Patrizia Reggiano, the woman who was sentenced to nearly three decades behind bars for plotting the 1995 murder of ex-husband Maurizio Gucci.

The film will be set in the design house's '70s and '80s heyday, when Maurizio emerged, in the wake of a vicious power struggle, to take over the family business. Prior to the show that would relaunch the brand (courtesy of designs from Tom Ford, incidentally), Maurizio was shot dead in front of his Milan home.

Talk about one day you're in and the next you're out.

No actor has signed on to play Jolie's ill-fated love in the film, which starts production next year, though Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached by director Ridley Scott.

In other Gucci Gang news, Brian Gorrell is still searching for Delfin “DJ” Montano.

Victorina has vowed to continue the fight against the injustice done to Gorrell!
