Angelina Jolie to Host Live Online Video Chat

The live 45-minute chat, also the first of its kind for Hearst, is scheduled for Thursday, January 12 at 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST. The magazine brands participating in the event are Cosmopolitan, Elle, Esquire, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, O, The Oprah Magazine, Redbook and Woman's Day.

Fans of the actress are encouraged to visit and RSVP on any participating website to have the opportunity to ask Jolie about the film (nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Foreign Language Film) along with questions about her career.

The Oscar-winning actress said, "This is my first online chat and I'm thrilled that Hearst is broadcasting this across so many of its websites to reach such a diverse audience as the film expands into more theaters."
