Gerard Butler is trying hard not to smoke. It's been minutes since the Scottish-born actor's last cigarette, and he's determined to forego another for a little while longer. As he paces around the room, he spies a cup of coffee, which seems to stoke his nicotine urge. ''To hell with it,'' he says, lighting a Marlboro and swigging his coffee. ''Restraint was only going to last for so long.''

ANGELINA SAYS U.N WORK IS REWARDING

Angelina Jolie says being a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations has changed her life. I used to lay there at night and wonder what it was that I needed to do, she tells Cosmopolitan magazine in its August issue. That's how I stumbled on going to Washington and learning about the U.N. and traveling around the world. It completely changed me.

DE BONT AIMS HIGH FOR TOMB RAIDER II

Jan de Bont, director of the upcoming action sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, told SCI FI Wire that he wanted to make a netter movie than the hit first film. I don't want to say anything negative, but I felt that changes had to be made for sure, because there were a couple things I really didn't care for, de Bont said in an interview. I think [Lara Croft's] character was way too one-dimensional. I think it needed to be really expanded on. And the story had to be much more coherent. It was not a brilliant story.

LARA CROFT BETTER SECOND TIME AROUND

Lara Croft Tomb Raider went down in history as the highest-grossing film ever with a female lead. That nugget of cinematic trivia raises expectations for the latest Tomb Raider adventure, The Cradle of Life. There's a lot of pressure on me, says Lara Croft herself, Angelina Jolie. I plan on not answering the phone for three weeks if it's all over. As we were doing (Tomb Raider 2) and when I saw it, I thought it is a lot better than the first one. So I'm pretty confident that if people give it a shot, it certainly holds up. It's much, much better than the first, but you never know (how the public will respond). I don't take it so seriously. It's a summer movie. It's business. If it goes well, that's great. If it doesn't, it's not the end of the world.

ANGELINA JOLIE ON THE CRADLE OF LIFE

Angelina Jolie, who returns as the title character in the upcoming sequel film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, told SCI FI Wire that filmmakers wanted to improve on the hit first Tomb Raider and make Croft a more believable person this time around. We wanted to revisit Tomb Raider, because we all had fun with the first [film], but it was hard to go from the game to the first one, and I think we couldn't adjust too much, Jolie said in an interview. With this one, we wanted a more solid story and to adjust [Lara]. We wanted her to be a real flesh-and-blood woman with relationships. There was so much we didn't feel satisfied with in the first one, so I did the second one just because I wanted to finish it right, do it right.
