Remember Angelina Jolie’s bitchface at the Critics’ Choice Awards when Anne Hathaway started dithering on stage?

Angie is a novice compared to the legendary Sophia Loren. Here in Rome today with Daniel Day-Lewis on the set of Nine – the longest shoot ever!?!? – treating us to a clinic on how to give face. She would know, right?

She knows more than them. They don’t know at all.

The divas of this era … Jennifer Lopez, Mimi Cheese, Beyonce, Puff Daddy, Justin Timberlake, Victoria Beckham… next to Sophia Loren, they don’t know sh-t.

Because the art of being Sophia Loren, and the drama that sweeps in with her, is that she delivers the bitchface without leaving behind a trail of hate. It only adds to the mystique. You’ll never hold a grudge against Sophia Loren.

Ask anyone who’s ever shot her. The lighting, right? The lighting just has to be. She needs to be lit softly. Like you need to work on that sh-t for at least 2 hours before she walks into the room. But if she approves? Any professional will tell you…

If she approves, she will nod like a queen and, with great ceremony, Sophia Loren will TAKE OFF HER GLASSES.

It’s her way of knighting you. The greatest compliment Sophia Loren can give.

Amazing. Chills down the spine.

They don’t make them like this anymore…
