[edit] Relationships with Angelina Jolie and Madonna

British tabloid newspapers alleged in 2006 that Shimizu, who is lesbian, claimed to have an ongoing romantic and sexual relationship with Angelina Jolie (begun when they appeared together in the film Foxfire), as well as with mutual friend Madonna. [1] She later denied making any claims regarding Jolie. [2] However, Jolie has since confirmed that the two women did have an ongoing lengthy affair. Jolie has made public comments, specifically with Barbara Walters, that she is actively bisexual in her personal life, and during another interview she stated: "I probably would have married Jenny if I hadn't married my husband. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her." [3] Shimizu had previously given a television interview in 2005 claiming to have had a sexual relationship with Jolie around the time of the Foxfire filming. [4]

In January 2007, Shimizu described further the relationship she had with Madonna. Calling herself "Madonna's sex slave", she revealed that Madonna would fly her to destinations across the world for sexual liaisons, saying: "I was her secret 'booty call' available any time of the day or night for secret sex sessions....She's sensational in bed." She revealed this information while it was being reported that she was going to release a tell-all book with intimate details of her sexual affairs with Madonna and Jolie. Shimizu had apparently also had sexual affairs with both celebrities at the same time. [5] [6] [7]

[edit] Career

In the 1990s, Shimizu spoke a line in the coming-out episode of Ellen starring Ellen DeGeneres. For several years, Shimizu was involved with actress Ione Skye. Ione Skye left her first husband, Adam Horovitz, who is a member of the musical group the Beastie Boys, for Shimizu. That relationship lasted for at least three years.^{[citation needed]}

Shimizu usually sports close-cropped hair. She has a tattoo of a woman straddling a crescent wrench on her arm. In 2005, Shimizu married Rebecca Loos for the Sky documentary "Power Lesbian UK" (broadcasted as "Power Lesbians" on LOGO, which profiled successful lesbians in Los Angeles) and appeared on Tyra Banks' reality show America's Next Top Model.

In a 2005 poll by gay publication The Pink Paper, Shimizu was voted sexiest woman, beating out Angelina Jolie and Australian icon Kylie Minogue, in at second and third, respectively.
