Holy mother of God, this is going to be? omg omg omg, I can?t even think straight and my heart is pounding, I?m so shocked. Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. They have been together since 2005, and they married in 2014. They celebrated their second wedding anniversary less than a month ago, where they allegedly got a hotel room for a night. But now it?s over????? OMG.
Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt and the trigger was a conflict over the kids… TMZ has learned. Jolie filed legal docs Monday citing irreconcilable differences. She’s asking for physical custody of the couple’s 6 children. She is asking the judge to give Pitt visitation. It’s significant …she does not want Brad to have joint physical custody … only joint legal custody.
Sources connected with the couple tell us … Angelina’s decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children … she was extremely upset with his methods.
We’re told there was no alleged “third person” … her decision to file was solely over Brad’s interaction with their children. Jolie, who’s being repped by disso queen Laura Wasser, is not asking for spousal support. Jolie lists the date of separation as Sept. 15, 2016. They married in August, 2014. They’ve been together since 2004.

It?s just about the kids? It?s not about those Marion Cotillard rumors, that Marion and Brad got way too close while filming earlier this year? The way this is being worded? I have no idea. What in the world did Brad do to the kids? What?s even going on anymore? Brangelina Is Over. Hope is dead. There?s no more joy in the world.
Update: TMZ updated their story with this: “Our sources say, Angelina became “fed up” with Brad’s consumption of weed and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is ‘an anger problem’ became dangerous for the children.” Anger problems, drinking and weed? Hmm…

What would you do if Angelina Jolie rolled up in a Cadillac while you were having a yard sale? What if you were trying to sell some item by the side of the road and La Jolie and Shiloh stop and buy what you?re selling? I think this might be my new favorite Angelina Jolie story. Two kids were selling their giant bear by the side of the road, and Angelina stopped and bought it. Seriously! Shiloh was there!
Angelina Jolie combined her love for kids and gigantic stuffed animals … and a couple of 8-year-old entrepreneurs made out big time. It all went down Sunday when Tim Alexander and his twins, Allen and Brandon, were in Toluca Lake, CA trying to sell “Big Bear” … an 8 1/2 foot tall teddy bear for $50. After an hour, they had no takers.
Then suddenly, Tim says a Cadillac pulled up with Angelina and Shiloh inside, and BOOM … they had a taker. He says Angelina doubled the twins’ asking price — handing over $50 to each of them. Dad says Allen and Brandon had no idea Angelina was a celeb, but he filled them in later with a “Kung Fu Panda” reference. Skadoosh!

There?s a glorious video of Angelina talking to the kids and everyone involved trying to force this giant bear into the trunk of the Caddy ? go here to see TMZ?s video, but I found a YouTube video too (below). What?s my favorite part? I don?t even know. Like, I love the fact that Angelina and Shiloh are just rolling around LA in a Caddy, looking to do good deeds. I love Shiloh and Angelina?s body language in the video ? at one point, Shiloh rests her arms on Angelina?s shoulder, and it just seems like they?re protective of each other. It?s sweet. I also love that Angelina is wearing a big, black muumuu. The woman loves a sack dress. And most of all, I love that she bought a giant bear from two kids for double what they were asking.

You guys know that I love Agatha Christie, right? I love Miss Marple. I love Hercule Poirot. I love that Christie was so badass and ahead of her time. And I love a good TV or film adaptation of Christie?s work. My favorite adaptation is the one of the most recent BBC adaptations of Miss Marple, starring the late (great) Geraldine McEwan. But I?ve always loved David Suchet at Poirot too. Suchet got to do a big (TV) adaptation of Poiret?s most famous story, and arguably Christie?s most beloved work, Murder on the Orient Express, a story loosely based on the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping. That was in 2010, and that episode had a stellar cast including Jessica Chastain, Toby Jones, Eileen Atkins and Hugh Bonneville. And of course, there was another film version of Murder on the Orient Express back in 1974. Well, now the book is being remade again, this time with Kenneth Branagh directing. And according to Variety, Angelina Jolie is in talks to play a vital role.
Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in Kenneth Branagh?s mystery ensemble Murder on the Orient Express, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. If a deal is closed, Jolie would play Mrs. Harriet Hubbard, a role once played by Lauren Bacall in the oft-made adaptation. The Fox film is based on Agatha Christie?s classic mystery that has been in the works for years (the deal to secure the rights with the Christie estate was seven years in the making). Shooting is expected to begin in November in London and then move to Malta.
The story centers on special detective Hercule Poirot, who boards a train from Jerusalem to Europe only to have a murder committed in the car next to his during a snowstorm. Poirot tries to discover the murderer or murderers before there’s another victim.
[From THR]
This is exciting! At first I misread this and I thought Jolie would be playing the role played by Ingrid Bergman, a role which many considered (at the time) to be one of Bergman?s best and one for which she won another Oscar. I could see Jolie in that role too. I kind of think Jolie is too young to play the Mrs. Hubbard role? That woman should be in her 50s or 60s, realistically. But the Bergman part ? absolutely. Still, I would love to see Angelina take any part in this. This sounds good! And if Angelina is getting an approach, I would imagine some other interesting actors are also being courted.

Angelina Jolie?s film career has been sidelined largely by her own choice for a while now, especially in the past year. After the terrible reviews of By the Sea, Angelina has spent months focusing on her humanitarian work. Brad is currently filming a movie with Marion Cotillard in England and all over Europe, and so Angelina and the kids have been calling London home for months. It?s been a good phase for Angelina, mostly because I think she really has just been focusing completely on humanitarian work. She?s set up a new advocacy partnership focusing on sexual crimes in conflict and war. She also gave an amazing speech at the BBC last week. And now this? Dame Saint Angelina is now Professor Dame Saint Angelina.
Angelina Jolie Pitt is taking her passion for women’s rights and gender equality to the classroom. The actress, 40, is set to join the London School of Economics as a visiting professor for the new masters course on women, peace and security for the 2016-2017 school year. As a visiting professor, Jolie Pitt will deliver guest lectures, participate in workshop and public events, and continue research on projects.
“I am very encouraged by the creation of this master’s programme. I hope other academic institutions will follow this example, as it is vital that we broaden the discussion on how to advance women’s rights and end impunity for crimes that disproportionately affect women, such as sexual violence in conflict,” Jolie Pitt said in a statement. “I am looking forward to teaching and to learning from the students as well as to sharing my own experiences of working alongside governments and the United Nations.”
The course, which is the first of its kind internationally, was launched last year by Jolie Pitt and Britain’s former foreign secretary, William Hauge ? who will also serve as a visiting professor.
The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security Ambassador Melanne Verveer said they, too, are looking forward to bringing the program to the stateside campus.
“I was pleased to meet with Angelina Jolie during my recent trip to London on ways we at Georgetown University can continue the collaboration between our sister programs on both sides of the Atlantic,” said Verveer. “We look forward to welcoming Angelina and former foreign secretary Hague to Georgetown in the future.”

I would have loved to take a class with a Professor Jolie. The class seems tailored to her expertise too, and the LSE is also where Jolie and William Hague founded the Centre on Women, Peace and Security last year. My guess is that Jolie?s professorship will be part of the new center/program. Can you even imagine being a masters student and having Angelina Jolie walk into the classroom? Can you imagine having her as an adviser? Or participating in small workshops with her? Those students are so lucky.

Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie at The Hague, in the Netherlands. And no, she did NOT get called into The Hague to stand trial at International Tribunal for crimes against sack dresses. I don?t even know if that could happen, but maybe her stylist would start taking things more seriously if it did. Anyway, Angelina was at The Hague this week to attend a meeting for Trust Fund for Victims, which is a trust fund set up by the UN to help survivors of war crimes as they rebuild their lives.
Angelina Jolie Pitt has moved her humanitarian efforts to the Netherlands, visiting The Hague to lend support to an organization that provides relief aid to victims of war crimes. During the International Criminal Court meeting ? Jolie Pitt’s fifth ? the United Nations special envoy discussed the plight of survivors with the court’s Trust Fund for Victims, the organization announced Thursday. The Trust Fund aids survivors of war crimes with health services, as well as vocational training, trauma counseling and reconciliation workshops.
“There can be no complete justice without consideration for the victims of the war crimes themselves, and the practical assistance they need to move on with their lives and overcome the harm they have suffered,” Jolie Pitt said in a statement. “That is why the work of the Trust Fund is important and must be supported and strengthened over time.”
Jolie Pitt, 40, spoke with Trust Fund executive director Pieter de Baan, noting the importance of “practical assistance” for victims of sexual and gender-based violence.
“On behalf of the Trust Fund Board of Directors, I greatly appreciate the interest and support of Ms. Jolie Pitt to highlight the importance of justice to be meaningful for victim survivors,” Motoo Noguchi, the board’s chair, said.
[From People]
Haters are always going to hate, but I consider myself a pretty well-informed person and this is literally the first time I?ve ever heard about Trust Fund for Victims, which means Angelina?s presence is doing exactly what it?s supposed to do: raise awareness for the fund and raise the visibility of these important issues. The only unpleasant thing I have to say is that I think they could use a new name for the fund? Trust Fund for Victims sounds? I don?t know, purposefully vague, and like something most people would be against. That?s probably because ?trust fund? has become a de facto pejorative in our society, a short-hand for entitled elitists who never work. Why not call it The Survivors? Fund or The War Crimes Survivors? Fund? I?m just saying, there?s a branding issue with the name.
Meanwhile, this is sort of old news, but it?s still an upcoming event for Angelina ? she will be delivering a keynote speech as part of a day-long programming event on the BBC. The BBC is dedicating May 16 to the global refugee crisis, with wall-to-wall programming centered around refugee issues. Angelina?s keynote address ?will be heard in a session hosted by the Today programme’s Mishal Husain which will be broadcast live on Radio 4, BBC World Service and BBC World News.?

Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie and three of her kids returning to LA after three months spent in Cambodia. I have no idea where Maddox, Knox and Vivienne are, because only Shiloh, Pax and Zahara got to return to LA with Angelina. I suspect that Brad has the other three? Or maybe Maddox stayed behind in Cambodia for a little bit longer? He?s getting to that age where he can be left alone, perhaps? I have no idea.
Actually, while the photo agency says that Angelina and the kids were returning from Cambodia, the Daily Mail says they were actually flying in from London, where they stopped and visited Brad Pitt on the set of the World War Z sequel, which? isn?t filming yet? I?m not even sure they have a script for the sequel yet. IMDB says that Brad is actually working on that untitled WWII romantic drama with Marion Cotillard.
Apparently, it was a short visit between Brad and Angelina. Which bugs me. The tabloids have been claiming for weeks/months that Brad and Angelina are having problems, and I don?t want to believe it. Except that they?ve spent a lot of time apart in the past six to eight months. While I know ? I mean I KNOW ? that the tabloids are always going to claim that Brad and Angelina?s relationship/marriage is hyper-dramatic, I?m starting to get the feeling that there might be some genuine drama between them.
Anyway, they?re coming off an awards season where they barely engaged with any of the hoopla. Brad came out for the Golden Globes, but his ?date? for the evening was Ryan Gosling, and neither of them did the red carpet. Despite the fact that Brad was a producer (and he had an on-screen role) for Oscar-nominated The Big Short, he did not attend the Oscars. Even Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic were announcing Brad and Angelina?s imminent arrival on various red carpets, trying to pretend that Brangelina would grace everyone with their presence. I was feeling it too ? there was so little big-time glamour this awards season. I missed Brangelina.
PS? I really like Angelina?s boots. I like her whole ensemble, if I?m being honest.

One of the impossible ?what if? scenarios of Angelina Jolie?s life involves her decision to sign on to Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. At the time, it seemed like a strange decision ? she was mostly known as a self-destructive dramatic actress, not an action heroine. And she wasn?t British, like the character. So people weren?t expecting much. But Angelina threw herself into the role, bulking up, building muscle, and opening her mind. The film took her to Cambodia, and that trip ended up being the turning point in her life. No more drugs, no more self-destruction. She became a UNHCR ambassador and then adopted Maddox. In interviews, she?s always cited that first trip to Cambodia as the one that changed her life.
Angelina is currently in Cambodia again (where she?s an honorary citizen, btw), filming First They Killed My Father. She gave an interview to the AP, and she talked about how Cambodia changed her life and changed the way she thought about motherhood.
That first trip: ?When I first came to Cambodia, it changed me. It changed my perspective. I realized there was so much about history that I had not been taught in school, and so much about life that I needed to understand, and I was very humbled by it? [I had felt] a real emptiness. That trip triggered my realization of how little I knew and the beginning of my search for that knowledge.?
Motherhood: ?It’s strange, I never wanted to have a baby. I never wanted to be pregnant. I never babysat. I never thought of myself as a mother. It was suddenly very clear to me that my son was in the country, somewhere.”
Being in Cambodia now: “For me, this is the moment, where finally my life is kind of in line, and I feel I’m finally where I should be.”
[From the AP via E! News]
While this is nothing new for the Brangeloonies ? she?s made variations on these statements for years ? I do think it?s interesting that she says ?I never thought of myself as a mother.? Well, she was what? She was 25 years old when she was filming Lara Croft. Many 25-year-olds don?t see themselves as mothers, it doesn?t mean anything because people change their minds often. But Angelina isn?t allowed to, I guess. I remember how she used to say that she just wanted adopted children too, but then she met Brad and BAM, she got pregnant with Shiloh. So that?s for all the 25-year-olds who say that they?re not into the whole baby thing: in 15 years, you?ll probably have six kids!

Here are some photos of Saturday?s big LA premiere of Kung Fu Panda 3. Angelina Jolie has done voice work for the franchise since the beginning, which I always thought was pretty cool. She must love the fact that she gets to take part in a fun cartoon that all of her kids can watch. And for this one, Knox, Shiloh, Pax and Zahara got to do some voice work too, despite the fact that they don?t want to be actors.
We haven?t seen Angelina on a red carpet in what feels like FOREVER. Honestly, though, she and Brad were working red carpets throughout the fall on behalf of By the Sea, but I guess I just put that sh-t out of my memory (the less said about it, the better). For this red carpet, Angelina wore this simple Saint Laurent sheath dress that only works on a slender woman. Speaking of slender? since I haven?t seen photos of Angelina in so long, I was startled by how thin she looks here. I?m not trying to be concern-trolly because she?s honestly been very slender for years now. But it looks like she?s lost more weight recently and I hope she?s taking care of herself. Her face is still perfect though. Is she even wearing makeup?
I?m also including some photos of two of Angelina?s costars, Lucy Liu and Kate Hudson. Kate is new to this franchise ? she plays a female panda obsessed with Jack Black?s Po ? while Lucy has been with the franchise since the start. Kung Fu Panda 3 also features voice acting by Black (obviously), Dustin Hoffman, Bryan Cranston and JK Simmons. Oh, and Kate Hudson brought her son Ryder as her date.

As I previewed on Friday, Angelina Jolie covers the new issue of Elle France. Elle France did not jack this photoshoot and interview from another source, Angelina actually did a new editorial and interview just for them. On Thursday, I looked around for translated quotes from the Elle story, but I couldn?t find any by the time I posted the preview. But finally, People Magazine came through on some quotes and whoa! Angelina is really talking during this promotional tour. Since I?m a long-time follower of Angelina?s press, I have to say? it?s very interesting to see her talking openly about how she and Brad fight. In the early years of their relationship, Angelina made sure to push a more lovey-dovey image of their partnership. But after 10 years and some very gossipy Gerbils of Doom, Angelina is finally admitting the obvious: they fight like every other couple. And after they fight, Angelina sobs.
What happens after their fights: “Brad has never seen what I’m like when he’s left me after one of our fights. Sometimes I’m strong. But as soon as he leaves the room, I melt into tears. With this film, he sees it. And I see into his private moments.”
She gets that she frustrates Brad: “I filmed it and I discovered his expressions. So I better understand his frustrations over certain aspects in me.”
What happens when Brad sees her cry: “The most difficult scenes were the most drawn-out fights: normally if Brad sees me cry, it ends by his taking care of me. But here, in the film he had to stay angry, and I couldn’t take it personally. It was so strange and interesting.”
[From People]
What I keep coming back to is this idea that the tabloids had a morsel of truth this whole time. Obviously, the tabloids would have us believe that Brad is constantly storming out of the house and sobbing as he drives his motorcycle through the lonely Hollywood Hills, whilst contemplating divorce. But the truth is that? Brad actually does storm out of the house after they fight. He doesn?t see her cry after their fights, that?s what she?s saying. So he DOES storm out. So he can cry too! THE TABLOIDS WERE RIGHT (about one small part of their relationship).

Here is the new cover for Elle France, with Angelina Jolie looking rather lovely. She covers the issue to promote her Euro-centric vanity project, By the Sea. BTS has made a little more than $1.5 million domestically and internationally combined. For a film that reportedly cost $10-25 million to make and promote, it really does not seem like the studio will be making any money off of BTS. Sad. Well, at least the studio won?t be able to say that Angelina refused to promote it. She has been promoting it, exhaustively. Probably to the detriment of Brad Pitt?s actual Oscar-bait film, The Big Short.
Speaking of The Big Short, THR asked Brad Pitt if he was interested in following in Angelina?s footsteps and trying his hand at directing. Brad answered quickly: ?No, not at all. I have no desire whatsoever. I like my corner of the field.” I bet Brad would actually have a pretty good eye as a director. I dare say he would have a better feel for good scripts too, judging by how he operates as a producer.
Meanwhile, this week?s National Enquirer is all about how Brad and Angelina are about to go through a ?$480 million divorce.? Sources claim that Brad caught Angelina carrying on with ?an unidentified crew member? while at work in Cambodia. Brad ran away and cried, and one of his friends tells the mag: ?To Brad, it?s emotional cheating. He got word from sources on the set and he exploded! The close nature of Angelina?s relationship with the man quickly became the talk of cast and crew, who note how she hangs on his every word? Angelina looks positively enamored with this man!? Gossip Cop says the story is ?made up.? Which? sure. Where is Brad, by the way? I know Angelina is in Cambodia, working on another film that absolutely no one will see. But where?s Brad?
