Jolie gets tattoo in Thailand
BANGKOK: Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie has gone under
the needle in Thailand, having her left shoulder blade emblazoned
with a traditional Khmer tattoo, a report said here on Thursday.
Tattoo master Noo Kamphai, from Pathumthani province just
north of Bangkok, performed the 15-minute operation with a
traditional needle, the Nation newspaper reported.
"She can endure pain very well. She didn't say a word,
although she admitted to feeling it," he told the daily English-
language newspaper.
Jolie reportedly said she was superstitious and had long been
affected by oriental magic.
"I like it (the tattoo) a lot. It looks very sacred. I think
I'll have a new tattoo the next time I come to Thailand," she was
quoted as saying.
The black tattoo features five vertical rows of ancient Khmer
script, which Noo reportedly said would ward off bad luck and
help her avoid accidents.
Jolie, who is a UN High Commissioner for Refugees goodwill
ambassador, has made many visits to Asia since filming Tomb
Raider in Cambodia several years ago, including trips to refugee
camps. --AFP

Pavarotti denies marriage news
ROME: Luciano Pavarotti has not married his long-time partner
after all, the Italian tenor's press officer said on Wednesday,
putting a media report to the contrary down to a
misunderstanding.
"There was probably a linguistic misunderstanding," Renata
Meroni was quoted as saying by Italian newspapers after German
magazine Frau im Spiegel announced the happy event on Tuesday.
"We did it secretly so nobody would know," 67-year-old
Pavarotti allegedly told a reporter after a recent concert in
Munich, southern Germany, without saying where or when he had
tied the knot with 33-year-old Nicoletta Mantovani.
"He feels like he's married to Nicoletta, but there has been
no secret wedding. The maestro told me that when he does (get
married), he will do it in the greatest secrecy," Meroni
said.--AFP
