Revealing views about turning 50

Jamie Lee Curtis went shirtless to pose for AARP The Magazine.

Curtis is shown sporting gray hair and wading in water up to her chest on the cover of the magazine's May/June issue, which will be available Monday.

The star of "True Lies," "A Fish Called Wanda" and other films becomes eligible for membership in AARP, the nonprofit organization for people 50 and older, when she celebrates her birthday Nov. 22.

"I want to be older," she tells the magazine. "I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older. I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I'm stronger. I'm smarter in every way. I'm so much less crazy than I was then."

Marriage called fraud

Pamela Anderson's new husband — apparently a specialist in short relationships with celebrities — agrees that their two-month marriage should be annulled, according to court papers filed Friday.

Rick Salomon agreed in papers responding to a filing by the "Baywatch" actress that the marriage should be annulled because of fraud, though neither set of documents elaborated.

Salomon did not ask for spousal support and asked that it not be awarded to Anderson. A phone message left for Anderson's publicist was not immediately returned Friday.

Charitable celebrities

It appears that the good works done by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren't just an act for the cameras.

Tax filings for the Jolie Pitt Foundation show that the couple gave more than $8.5 million to charities in 2006, according to People.com. Pitt gave about $4.4 million and Jolie about $4.1 million. Some of the largest donations went to Doctors Without Borders and the Global AIDS Alliance.
