Angelina Jolie Scales a Wall Barefoot on March 12


Angelina Jolie is spotted barefoot, hanging from the side of an apartment building in Washington Heights, N.Y., on March 12. Earlier in the morning, Angelina, 33, was photographed leaving her trailer after having prepped for the action scene. Angelina Jolie Salt

Jolie is currently in New York filming the spy flick Salt, in which she plays Evelyn A. Salt, a rogue CIA agent who tries to clear her name after being accused of being a Russian sleeper spy.

Angelina will shoot additional scenes for the espionage thriller in midtown Manhattan. The New York Police Dept. will play themselves in a funeral scene, which will be shot on March 14 and March 21 along Fifth Avenue.

Jolie recently hinted that she may ease up on her work schedule over the next few years to concentrate on raising her six children with partner Brad Pitt, 45. Angelina, who has been acting since she was a child and won an Academy Award in 1999, has enjoyed the ride, but career isn't the focal point of her life.

"I think it's nice, I've had a time to tell stories and be able to be successful enough to tell the ones I want to tell, and [to] earn some money at the same time," says Jolie. "But everything comes in seasons and I hopefully won't be needing to do that later in my life in any way."

In 2001, Angelina was named the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). Since then, she has visited and called press attention to UNHCR refugee operations in the Balkans, Sierra Leone, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan and Ecuador.

The experience completely changed her outlook on life. "I've become a better human being," said Jolie. "I've learned the strength of the human spirit. It's changed my view of what is important. I'm not so concerned with things I used to be so concerned with. I feel that [now] I'm of some use to other people in the world."

Salt, which shoots in Washington and New York City, opens in 2010.

Paris Hilton: 'I Have a Lot in Common With Angelina Jolie'



Paris Hilton wants to be friends with Angelina Jolie.

The socialite and hotel heiress, 27, believes she and the Tomb Raider star are quite alike, and would probably get on well together.

She says, "I love Angelina Jolie. She's strong but gorgeous and uses her fame for good to make a big difference in the world. That's a great quality. I'd have a lot in common with her."

However, Paris also revealed the sort of person she wouldn't like to be friends with.

She added to British magazine Fabulous, "I don't like it when people are liars or users - girls who are just trying to be my friend for the wrong reasons. I've had a lot of people in my past who were friends with me just to get publicity.

"When I was young, my mom or sister used to have to point out if someone was using me to make a name for themselves – you know, linking arms with me on the red carpet and trying to get in every picture. But now I can see for myself when someone is just hungry for attention.

"I have this great test to see if a girl's a real friend. When we're shopping I'll pick out an outfit that I know looks hot and one that is awful. If my friend says the bad one looks good, I know she's not a good friend."
