In an online poll conducted by Vanity Fair, Angelina Jolie was voted as the “the world’s most beautiful woman” with 58% votes. There were 19 women from across the world on the list of contestants, and after Jolie, the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen ranked second bagging just 9 per cent of the total votes, followed by Oscar-winning star and ex-Bond girl Halle Berry ranked third with 4 per cent votes. The “Slumdog Millionaire” actress Freida Pinto, who was the only Indian to feature in the list, garnered only 2 per cent of the total votes to come at #4, along with Cate Blanchette and pop star Beyonce Knowles.

However, Freida Pinto was polled ahead of favorites like the French First Lady and model Carla Bruni, Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow. Jolie came at #1 with a huge margin of votes in a competition that wasn't even close, as the others scored poorly.

Freida Pinto was also ahead of Elle McPherson, Kerry Washington and Kate Moss, who got only 1 per cent of the total votes. The 24-year-old Indian beauty was a surprise entry in the list which ignored Hollywood superstars like Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman.

Brangelina: the power couple splits

As rumours fly about Hollywood's most celebrated pairing and splitting, in the end the couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie called it quits, throwing away the much advertised Brangelina brand by the Hollywood roadside, reports news and gossip sites.

Speculations began with the report that the live-in couple had seen a Los Angeles divorce lawyer to discuss the division of their numerous properties and the custody of their six children, three of whom they have had together as biological parents and three adopted.

Around their liaison lies the surprise and the suspicion as to how the pair could walk red carpets until the doomsday and never quite make it into the company of Richard Burton-Elizabeth Taylor, Fairbanks‑Pickford and Bogart-Bacall.

But it mostly reflects the fallout from Brangelina's original entanglement, as Pitt had been married for five years to Jennifer Aniston when he fell in love with Angelina Jolie, while they were filming in the sets of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Puffy-lipped and flaunting as many as 13 tattoos, Angie had previously been married to country singer and actor Billy Bob Thornton.

Initially there were denials about their relationship from both Jolie and Pitt, but immediately after Brad and Aniston filed for divorce, Brangelina were spotted at the beaches in Kenya. And it took another five years for them too to split! Who is next, for both?
