The Scoop
The people have spoken: Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful woman in the world.

In a poll conducted by Vanity Fair, 58 percent of respondents voted for the mother of six. Gisele Bundchen came in a distant second with 9 percent of the vote.

This is the second title of its kind Jolie has scooped up recently. Who, the Australian version of People, also has Jolie atop its Most Beautiful People list. (Kate Winslet came in second Down Under.)

In other Jolie news, British media reported that she and Brad Pitt were in the Philippines, looking to adopt another baby.

Not so, says an official at the airport where the couple was allegedly spotted — there’s no record of either one of them entering the country.

Twitter imposter sparks ‘Survivor’ rumors
In one of the more salacious uses of a fake Twitter account, the imposter behind @JeffLeeProbst claimed there was a “shocking” romance emerging during “Survivor Tocantins” between cast members Spencer Duhm and Stephen Fischbach.

Thanks to some intrepid Tweet cross-checking on the part of Reality Blurred’s Andy Dehnart (he’s also a frequent msnbc.com contributor), it became clear that the relationship wasn’t real (Fischbach Tweeted with a “nope” and reminded that he was straight), and the Twitter account had nothing to do with "Survivor" host Probst.

Ultimately CBS issued a statement. “Jeff does not have/nor did he ever have a Twitter account.”

The network said the account “was fake from the start and we are talking with Twitter to get it removed.”

Chris Brown flirts the night away
If Chris Brown is getting good PR advice these days, it doesn’t seem like he’s listening to it.

The R&B singer, who recently pleaded not guilty to two felony charges regarding his alleged assault of ex-girlfriend Rihanna, was spotted at the Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge L.A. Live for a guys' night out on Saturday, April 11.

Brown arrived at about 11:45 p.m., and was met by fellow musicians Tyrese and Omarion a few minutes later. While their behavior in the Luxe Lounge, a private room at the lanes, was on the tame side, witnesses say Brown was “dancing around” and “was very flirty with the wait staff.”

Brown is due in court April 29.
