PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) – Family ties between Angelina Jolie and her son, Maddox, just got a little tighter.

A royal decree approving citizenship for Jolie, star of the “Tomb Raider” films, was signed by King Norodom Sihamoni on July 31, Sok Sam Oeun, an official of the Council of Ministers, said Friday.

Sok Sam Oeun said he was working through Jolie’s contacts in Cambodia to notify the 30-year-old actress of her new citizenship.

Jolie, who adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002, is giving Cambodian Vision in Development, a community development group, $1.5 million for its environmental protection efforts in remote parts of the country’s northwest.

Prime Minister Hun Sen offered Jolie citizenship in recognition of her generosity when she visited the country last summer. Jolie told reporters: “I would certainly be thrilled.”

“This is what we have dreamed for her for a long time,” said Mounh Sarath, director of Cambodian Vision in Development. “Now it’s a dream come true.”

He said Jolie deserves citizenship “not because of the money she has given but her good heart and love” for the Cambodian people.

Scenes for Jolie’s 2001 movie, “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” were filmed at Cambodia’s famed Angkor Wat temple.

Jolie adopted her daughter, Zahara, from Ethiopia last month.

Arnold to rock with Stones

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Concert tickets for major acts are costly, but $100,000 to see the Rolling Stones?

That’s the price to join Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a luxury box at the Stones’ Aug. 21 show at Boston’s Fenway Park. The event will cap a multistate fundraising swing that begins next week for Schwarzenegger’s Nov. 8 special election.

Schwarzenegger will host a private reception before the show for 40 guests who give $10,000 each to his campaign account. Guests contributing $100,000 apiece will be invited to watch the concert with Schwarzenegger in a luxury box.

The concert event was arranged after mortgage lender Ameriquest, the lead sponsor of the Stones’ 2005 tour, offered Schwarzenegger more than three dozen center stage and luxury box seats. A company spokesman refused comment to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Fran Curtis, the Stones’ publicist, said the band had no role in the governor’s fundraiser.

The Stones’ new album, “A Bigger Bang,” is scheduled for release Sept. 6.
