Good Week: Angelina Jolie, the Williams sisters, sun-worshippers, Michael Owen

by Greg McDonald

Ch-ching! It was a rich week for Angelina Jolie, who was named Hollywood's highest-earning actress, raking in a cool £16.6m in the last 12 months, the lion's share coming for her role in Wanted. Angelina’s partner Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston was pipped to the top spot – though the £15.3m Jen banked last year starring in hit movies like Marley and Me may have softened the blow.

It was an ace week for the Williams sisters, as big sis Venus demolished top seed Dinara Safina and little sis Serena battled through against Elena Dementieva in the longest women's semi-final in history to set up another all-Williams "dreams" final. Here are the pair going head to head the year they first took SW19 by storm.

It was a fine week for sun-worshippers as temperatures soared to their highest levels since July 2006, there were predictions of a summer hotter even than 2003, and flash flood warnings were issued by the Environment Agency. And as office workers sweltered in the heatwave, one company in Newcastle came up with an answer: just come to work naked.

It was a great week for former England striker Michael Owen, as Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson moved to unite the Newcastle man with onetime international strike-partner Wayne Rooney. The union will provide an unmissable chance for Owen to justify a return to the England team, for which he once netted such unforgettable World Cup goals as this 1998 sizzler against Argentina and this 2002 vintage shot against Brazil.
