Angelina Jolie is going to be in London all week for the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, a summit she is co-hosting with UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, her new BFF. Hague has introduced her to Prime Minister David Cameron before ? a few months ago, Hague took Angelina to Downing Street for breakfast or brunch, and he brought her to Downing Street again for the kick-off of the summit. Cameron even tweeted a photo from the meeting (the comments on this tweet are crazy/funny/sad).

Here are some brand-new photos of Angelina Jolie and UK Foreign Secretary William Hague opening up their Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict in London today. Hague and Jolie have been BFFs for more than a year now, and Hague has cited Angelina?s work, both with the UN and her film In The Land of Blood and Honey, as one of his biggest eye-openers for the prevalence of sexual violence in war zones and conflicts. They have traveled together to bring attention to conflict zones where women are being (or have been) victimized. And now they?re co-hosting this summit together.
It seems weird to talk about fashion in this post, but it?s my job, so I?ll just say? I like Angelina in white. The white is so refreshing after her all-black uniforms and her Maleficent costumes/red carpet looks. That being said, I think I would have liked this better with a straight skirt and the jacket sleeves need to be less puffy. The suit is Michael Kors, by the way. She’s been wearing more Kors lately. Huh.
At the opening of the summit, Angelina and Hague both made speeches. Hague praised her, and Angelina dedicated the event to an unnamed and ?abandoned? rape victim in Bosnia. She said in part:
“We must send a message around the world that there is no disgrace in being a survivor of sexual violence, that the shame is on the aggressor?. It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict. There is nothing inevitable about it. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians. It has nothing to do with sex, everything to do with power. We live in safe countries with doctors we can go to when we’re hurt, police we can turn to when we’re wronged, and institutions that protect us. They live in refugee camps, on bombed-out streets, in areas where there is no law, no protection, and not even the hope of justice. We need to shatter that culture of impunity and make justice the norm, not the exception, for these crimes. We need political will replicated across the world and we need treat this subject as a priority.?

Word. And people wonder why I?m an Angeloonie. She?s amazing. I LOVE HER. She is my spirit animal. I?m including the video of her speech below.

THR had an excellent story yesterday about how Angelina Jolie was headed to China for her first-ever promotional leg in that country. Angelina often makes stops in Asia for her promotional tours, but for this Maleficent tour, Angelina has stopped in Shanghai for the first time. Apparently, Brad Pitt was scheduled to come with Angelina (according to THR), which is also a new thing ? Brad has been banned from traveling to China for years following his appearance in Seven Years in Tibet. There was some talk of China softening on Brad enough to allow World War Z to officially come to China, but it didn?t happen.
So, these are some pics from today?s photocall in Shanghai, where Angelina was basically just standing on a balcony, looking fabulous in this black Michael Kors. The Mail says that her heels were custom-made Louboutins, this time a gold pair. They gave her an early birthday cake too! She turns 39 tomorrow. She looks great, doesn’t she?
Maleficent will be released in China on June 20th. Which is also World Refugee Day, just FYI.

First, the good Jolie-Pitt news? Maleficent is a HUGE hit. Box office analysts were predicting something like a $60-65 million opening domestically, and Maleficent ended up making $70 million in North America and $100 million overseas for its opening weekend. This is Angelina Jolie?s best opening ever! Experts say that Disney?s marketing towards women helped a lot, and the audience was over 60% ladies, young and old. You can read THR?s analysis here ? A Million Ways to Die in the West underperformed and X-Men: Days of Future Past is still chugging along.
Did you see Maleficent? I did not. I will see it though, I just didn?t feel like seeing it this weekend. I kept seeing critics say that the script was weak and that Angelina was sort of camp, but I guess it didn?t matter. I told you that the alliance of Disney Machine and the Jolie-Pitt Machine would be fruitful. Huzzah! I?m glad Angelina has a hit on her hands. Now she can sell this overseas a little bit more and then move on to her Oscar campaign for Unbroken. 2014 is The Year of La Jolie.
And now for the bad news? is anyone else genuinely disturbed by the story of Vitalii Sediuk, the Ukrainian ?prankster? and assailant who attacked Brad Pitt last week? For one thing, I?ve never really thought of Sediuk?s stunts as genuine pranks ? they always seemed like bizarre cries for help from a man with mental health issues (at best) or disturbingly inappropriate public assaults from a man with a lot of hate (at worst). So, Sediuk was in court on Friday and he ended up making some sort of deal ? no jail time, three years of probation and ?a year’s worth of psychological counseling.? He also has been ordered to stay 500 yards away from Brad at all times. The most disturbing detail in People Mag?s coverage was this:
Asked by PEOPLE why Sediuk did what he did, his attorney, Anthony Willoughby, replied: “He told me, ‘I just saw Brad Pitt and thought, ‘I’ll make Angelina Jolie jealous.’ … He hugged [Pitt] around the waist and security grabbed him. He didn’t hit him ? at least not intentionally. Something may have happened in the scuffle.”
[From People]
Is it enough to just call him a ?freak? and move on? Sure. Let?s do that. It does feel like he?s mentally disturbed and he?s falling through the cracks ? maybe being locked up in a psych ward would do him some good.

She looks magnificent in the promotional images for ?Maleficent,? and it turns out Angelina Jolie got a little boost from legendary fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
The legendary lensmen told WWD, ?We wanted to try something more bold and graphic, sort of unlike the usual movie posters.?
?It was important to us that [Jolie] didn?t come across as [an] ?evil queen,? and that she had a lot of emotion and depth to her character- all the complexities women have.?
Mert and Marcus added, ?She is partly human, partly fairy, part creature. We wanted to respect the original Fifties [Maleficent] animation, but make [the character] edgy.? And in the end they came up with ?a fusion of Angelina and Maleficent.?

When did you get your first boyfriend/girlfriend? My first (real) kiss was when I was 13, but I hesitate to call that dude my boyfriend. But still, I guess that?s the common enough age ? 13/14 is when your hormones kick in and you really start looking at your peers in a different way. Maddox Jolie-Pitt is only 12 years old, but he turns 13 in August. He is the oldest of the Jolie-Pitt children and I?ve always thought that he had and has a special bond with his mom, because it was just the two of them for years before Brad came along. But now Angelina?s little man is growing up? she revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Maddox has a girlfriend!
Angie says the girlfriend is ?great?I won?t embarrass him. She?s lovely. She lives in England. She?s very cool.? She also says that Maddox gets to see his girlfriend often enough because ?We go there as often as possible. It?s really, really sweet. She?s a great lady, so I?m lucky. So far, we?re doing good.? So? Madd has an English girlfriend! Huh. I think it?s a little bit weird that Angie calls her a ?great lady? ? it makes the girlfriend sound like she?s in her 30s or something. But Angelina is probably just trying not to embarrass him. Adorable.

I’m guessing you’ve probably heard by now that Brad Pitt got punched in the face by some idiot “journalist” or something at the Maleficent premiere in LA, considering most media outlets are currently reporting on it like it’s some kind of great national tragedy. Anyway, I’m not sure why the dude did it, but if […]

Angelina Jolie has really been kicking ass during the Maleficent promotional tour, hasn?t she? And we haven?t even had an American premiere yet ? just think about how good it?s going to be in the next few weeks. Anyway, nothing can really compare to Angelina telling Gwyneth Paltrow-esque privileged moms to STFU, but her interview with Good Morning America does have its moments. First, some media-business stuff: I think it?s interesting that Angelina went to GMA with her first morning show interview. She used to give her first interviews to The Today Show and Ann Curry. But Today jettisoned Curry, so now they don?t get her exclusives. It?s interesting, isn?t it?
As for the interview? George Stephanopoulos asks Angelina is she?d ever consider running for public office. What?s interesting is that you can tell that she?s actually considered it at some point, but she says: ?You know, if I thought I’d be effective, I would. But I’m not sure if I would ever be taken seriously in that way, and be able to be effective.? Here?s the

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were in New Orleans this weekend for a fundraiser for Brad?s Make It Right Foundation. I?m including a couple of the photos we do have, and you can see more here. Angelina wore black, of course, and the biggest Louboutin heels I?ve ever seen on her. Anyway, Angelina is still in promotional mode for Maleficent. She gave a lengthy interview to The Daily Mail this weekend, which you can read here. Some highlights:
Casting Vivienne as Prince Aurora: ?It had to be her. Because at one point I look at this kid and say, ?Go away! I hate children.? But the good news is that there?s nothing I could possibly say that wouldn?t make her laugh; I could be mean to her and she still just wanted to hug me.?
The kids won?t pursue acting career: ?No, it?s fun if the kids have cameos but it doesn?t follow that they are going to act. We?re not pushing them; they?ll be what they will be.?
Managing two careers with six kids: ?Brad and I take turns working and we back each other up, so we make sure our children never go without. And we?re able to do that with our careers. When I?m working, he?s picking them up and dropping them off at school. We got stuck on the last movies ? I was directing Unbroken and he was making [Second World War film] Fury, and they overlapped. That?s the first time that has ever happened, which was not fun?
She?s aware of her privilege though: ?I never want other women to feel as though I do so much and it?s all amazing ? it?s not and I don?t. I have a really great partner, who is a great father, and I have a career that allows me to take time off, and my children are allowed to come to my place of work. My children come first and Brad and I pick projects that are a priority because the balance of our home life takes precedence. We sit down and work out the next few years.?
The kids, loving Brad as a father: ?With them I?m a kid again and I?m soft and loving because that?s what they bring to my life. I still get very emotional when I watch Brad play with the children ? he?s so naturally devoted and joyful around them.?
Her double mastectomy: ?I didn?t know how it would be received. But I felt that the important thing was that I wanted to speak to other women. I wanted to speak to other daughters of women like my mother. I wanted other women to be aware of something that they could take on and protect themselves from. I felt that I?d learnt something about my health, and I felt I?d made the right choice for my family and I simply wanted other women to know that there was that choice.?
Tabloid rumors: ?Brad is great. We?re great. All the other stuff, it?s nothing to do with us. We ignore it because it?s nonsense.?
Her new BFF William Hague: ?William Hague is a good guy. I see him when all the cameras are gone and there are no reporters in the room; I see him with victims of rape and speaking on behalf of the citizens of his country. I hear him speak about injustice, and he?s a compassionate, strong man. I?ve spent half my life committed to understanding what is happening in the world and I see that there are people who really dedicate their lives to learning about countries and cultures and to improving things, and they work so hard ? William Hague works so hard. He?s very straight in his approach but he?s emotionally connected, too.?
The feminism of Maleficent: ?I hope the girls, especially, will see the importance of having a sense of what?s fair and what?s worth fighting for. They?ll see that they can be warriors at the same time as being soft and feminine and feeling deeply, with all the complexities that women have.?
[From The Daily Mail]
She talks a lot about loving Maleficent and always being drawn to the darker characters. She also says that she and Brad love nothing more than to have dinner with the family or watch a DVD together. Most of the stuff we?ve heard already in her ELLE interview, but it?s nice that Angelina seems to be in a different place in her life ? I think she really believes in this film, and I think she and Brad are probably better than they?ve ever been.

Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie, out and about in NYC yesterday. The paparazzi rarely bother her, you know? It?s almost like she couldn?t care less that they?re taking her photo. She even made sure they got photos of her whole ensemble, and she waved to them too. Apparently, Angelina was going to a meeting on the Upper East Side. E! News says the meeting lasted three hours and it was with Martin Scorsese. Huh.
As for her ensemble, the pants and blouse are Michael Kors and the bag is Yves Saint Laurent. Her ELLE shoot was exclusively YSL, and she?s been wearing a lot of YSL over the past year, year and a half. Maybe she just loves Hedi Slimane. Maybe she just loves the goth-business realness of the current YSL line. Maybe she has some kind of undercover contract with YSL. I don?t know. I would imagine Michael Kors is really happy to see Angelina in his clothes though. I?m not crazy about the pants (are they high-waters?), but the blouse is fine.
According to E! News, Brad Pitt and Shiloh and definitely in the city too. There are photos of Shiloh and Pax out and about, I’m hoping ZZ and Angelina’s Shadow are also in town. By the way, Brad and Angelina came out for the premiere of The Normal Heart last night – I’ll have those photos later this morning.
