Jolie good show

Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie has become a fan of an obscure artist who has been living rough on the streets since he fell foul of former Communist leaders in Romania.

Pop artist Ion Barladeanu - whose work is now considered as important as Andy Warhol's - was put out on the streets after dictator Nicolae Ceausescu declared his cut outs from newspapers and magazines subversive.

Now the artist has become pals with stars and art fans since his work was rediscovered.

He spent two hours talking to actress Jolie in Paris when they met at a French exhibition of his art.
