Jetting off for an afternoon flight, Angelina Jolie was spotted boarding a helicopter alongside her bodyguard close to her temporary home in London, England earlier today (August 11).
Showing off her simple yet chic style, the "Salt" stunner sported a nearly all-black ensemble, pairing a jacket and skinny pants with nude-colored pumps for the high-flying fete.
Meanwhile, Angie and her brood of six, who are staying in the Richmond neighborhood while Brad Pitt is filming "World War Z" nearby, have refused to let the recent rioting of London drive them out of their rented home.
"Angelina has visited some of the most dangerous places on the planet and isn't about to pack her suitcase and evacuate just because a very small minority of violent youths have taken to the streets" an insider told The Huffington Post.
Making sure to note that the Jolie-Pitt clan is in good hands, a former British police officer added,"Angelina and her family could not be safer. She has her own private security and the rioting is limited to areas that she is staying away from. What you are seeing on television is just awful but it is confined to a few very small areas."

Taking some time out for arts and crafts, Angelina Jolie took her beautiful brood for some afternoon activities at The Pottery Cafe while in Richmond, London earlier today (August 9).
The "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," star, who could be seen holding on to Shiloh and Zahara, showed off her classic style as she donned a pair of overs-zied sunglasses, black knit sweater and gray skirt for the family play-date.
Meanwhile, Angie's partner, Brad Pitt has taken it upon himself to publicly praise the mother of his six children, honoring Jolie for looking after their super-sized family, with the understanding of how hard it can be.
?Angelina is the organizational talent in our family. She always has thousands of lists. Our life has nothing to do with relaxation," Pitt told while talking with the German Edition of OK! magazine.

I always forget that Maddox Jolie-Pitt has the same birthday as my mom. Maybe that?s something I should NOT try to remember, right? Anyway, Maddox?s birthday was Friday, and the little guy turned the big 10. I don?t remember my tenth birthday, but I?m sure it involved ice cream cake and?? Maddox?s birthday was fancier, of course. Madd got to go to a show in London! Angelina and Brad took Madd and the three other older kids to see a matinee of Wicked on London?s West End. These are photos of the clan as they leave the theatre. Brad has been filming around London for weeks now, and I guess they haven?t made the move to Scotland yet. Tell me this - is it weird that Maddox had to spend his birthday with his younger siblings? What if his birthday wish was ?some alone time without being overrun by younger children??
Maddox Jolie-Pitt and his famous family took a trip to the marvelous land of Oz for his tenth birthday. On Saturday, a day after Maddox turned 10, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt treated their eldest to a matinee performance of Wicked — the smash Broadway musical — on London’s West End.
Maddox was photographed with mom Jolie, 36, dad Pitt, 47, and sister Shiloh, 5, near the theater. Sister Zahara, 6, and brother Pax, 7, were also on hand for the theater event. Word of the superstar brood’s presence spread to the cast of the show.
“There was definitely a big excitement backstage! Everyone was on a high,” a Wicked castmember tells Us Weekly. And the Jolie-Pitts weren’t perched a in a VIP box, either — sitting in the orchestra, but surrounded by a few empty, reserved seats.
What did Maddox, Shiloh and the gang think of the show, about the earlier lives of witches of Oz (Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North)?
“They were very happy and quite quiet,” the castmate says. “The children seemed fascinated by the spectacle.” The group did not, however, visit backstage.
The family have been hanging out in England as Pitt shoots World War Z — and, despite Saturday’s fun outting, Jolie’s not having the best time ever.
“She’s not pleased being at home while he’s on set,” an insider told Us. “These are the longest hours he’s spent on a set in a while, so it’s just her and the kids with not much to do.”

Does anyone else find it amazing that the kids were so well-behaved? Those are four little kids, in the middle of a crowded theatre, seeing an exciting show. If they got over-excited, it would be perfectly understandable. But reportedly, they just enjoyed the show and they were good kids. Is it possible that they just really are good kids and not the wild hellions that the tabloids claim?
You can also see in the photos that Shiloh is clutching a stuffed, winged monkey doll from the show. How come Shiloh gets a doll on Maddox?s birthday? MOM!!! Also: Brad looks hot in blue. Angelina looks meh. I?d rather see her in black than nude, though.

Making for quite the family adventure, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stepped out with the brood in London, England on Saturday (August 6).
The "Mr and Mrs Smith" co-star couple were joined by Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh as they hit the Victoria Theatre to check out "Wicked" a day after Maddox's 10th birthday.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Brad and Angelina are in London as Pitt continues to film his labor-intensive new film "World War Z".
The stay in the UK comes after the Hollywood power couple took to the 17th Sarajevo Film Festival the previous weekend so that Angelina could collect the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo award.

The tabloids are full of random stories about Brangelina this week, as is the case nearly every week. OK! Magazine claims that Brad and Angelina had a ?26 day fight? - mostly because it was 26 days between photos of Brad and Angelina together. OK!?s sources says that in private, The Brange are ?at each other?s throats? but it?s all cool because they know how to make up, probably because of all of the whips and handcuffs and such. The insider claims, ?After their epic fights, they are usually in bed for a solid 24 hours.” Ew. Star Magazine also has a story about Brad and Angelina fighting? over when to adopt! In a refreshing change of pace, in this story, it?s BRAD who wants another kid and Angelina is the one saying no. Brad wants another little African girl. Probably because the Empress demands it. Meanwhile, Us Weekly?s story about The Fightin? Brangelinas is kind of blah - according to them, they?re fighting because Angelina is super-bored:
So much for ?jolly? ole England! A source tells Hot Stuff Angelina Jolie is so unhappy with Brad Pitt?s endless days shooting World War Z in the UK that she?s considering leaving the country until he finishes the film.
?She?s not pleased being at home while he?s on set,? says the source. ?These are the longest hours he?s spent on a set in a while, so it?s just her and the kids with not much to do.?
And now comes Jolie?s chance to jet: On July 31, Pitt moved from the sleepy London suburb of Richmond to tiny Falmouth, England (pop: 22,000). It remains to be seen whether she will join him - or call it a wrap!
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
Once again, it?s an interesting change of pace. Usually the ?Brangelina fight because of work schedules? stories appear only when Angelina?s got a job, not Brad. Yay for wanting your man to stay barefoot and pregnant at home!
Last Brangelina story, and it comes from In Touch, who still have a hate-on for Angelina.
According to a new report, Angelina doesn?t really pay attention to her brood, ignores Shiloh the most and lets the nannies do all the work!
Angelina Jolie portrays herself as a woman who can do it all ? be an award-winning actress, humanitarian, loving partner to Brad Pitt and amazing mother to their children, Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. So how does she manage everything? Well, according to In Touch, she uses nannies and hardly ever parents her kids!
?She?s preoccupied; she doesn?t have a lot of time for them,? an insider tells In Touch. She?s doting in public” but “cold, impatient and less than affectionate” with her kids behind closed doors.
The magazine even describes her as an ?ice-queen? mom! And of all the kids ? Shiloh gets the least amount of attention.
?During a game of war with her brothers, Shiloh fell down and got bruised,? the insider explains, adding that Angelina didn?t do anything about it! ?She let a nanny handle it.?
?Her parenting just isn?t as warm and fuzzy as Brad?s,? another source reveals.
But Angelina works hard to make sure people think she?s a wonderful mother, so when she knows that photographers are about, she will walk in front, holding her kids’ hands, and make the nannies walk in the back or “stay hidden.” Also, an “insider” claims that being a Jolie-Pitt nanny as “great pay, long hours and complete chaos.”
?She spends her life trying to prove that she can give her family everything she missed out on as a child,? an insider says.

Eh. If anything, I suspect that Angelina is the ?bad cop? parent and Brad is the softie, the one who doesn?t dole out punishment. Angelina seems like the enforcer, and she seems more organized about everything. Considering all of their traveling and crazy schedules, I?ve actually begun to suspect that Angelina is a little OCD to keep track of everything. So? yeah, I don?t think she?s some cold, distant, ice-queen mom. I think she?s just doing the best she can.
Here?s Brad looking so lonely on the set of World War Z:

Yesterday, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made an appearance at the Sarajevo Film Festival, and we don?t have access to any of the photos! Boo. You can see some here and here, though. Angelina wore an oddly bright Elie Saab gown and Brad looked nice. Angelina was there because she was awarded the ?Honorary Heart of Sarajevo? Award for directing a film about the war, The Land of Blood and Honey, which will be out later this year. When Angelina?s leading lady, Zana Marjanovic, presented Angelina with the award, Angelina received wild, non-stop applause, and an insider says Angelina was nearly moved to tears. Angelina told reporters, ?I love this country. I was honored to have a chance to meet everybody. This movie was a chance to bring attention to the situation that happened so long ago, and I hope that it brings attention and more dialogue to remind people what everybody here went through.” Damn, I wish we had ANY photos from this film festival - Michael Fassbender was there a few days ago with a newly shaved head too. BOO on our photo agencies for not buying these photos.
Anyway, Angelina has a new interview in The Financial Times this weekend. You can only read the whole thing by subscription, which I?m not going to do, but various outlets had excerpts from the piece:
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have maintained a nomadic lifestyle with their six children over the years, but the kids have strong connections to their own cultures, Jolie reveals in a new interview. The actress, 36, who adopted three of her children ? Maddox, 9, from Cambodia; Pax, 7, from Vietnam; and Zahara, 6, from Ethiopia ? and gave birth to Shiloh, 5, in Namibia, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3, in France, makes sure her kids know where they came from.
“They are all learning about each other’s cultures as well as being proud of their own,” she tells the Financial Times. “So it’s not like just the boys get to do the Asian thing. They all have their flags over their beds and their individual pride.”
Of course, keeping up with their international visits is a challenge. “We owe Vietnam a visit, because Pax is due,” she says. “Z wants to get back to Africa, and Shiloh too. So everyone takes their turns in their country.”
Jolie also opened up about becoming a mom of six has changed her relationship with work.
“I’ve never not been grateful to be an actor,” she says. “But I think when I was younger I needed [acting] more. I was trying to question things in life so you find these characters that help you find things and grow.”
“It’s like being in therapy, in a way. You’re drawn to certain roles because they question something about life, or about love, or about freedom. You ask these questions as you grow up: am I strong enough, am I sane enough? Do I understand love, do I understand myself?” Now, she adds, “I’m older and I know who I am … and I’m less interested in the character helping me answer something … than in being able to answer it for myself, as a woman, as an adult, with my family.”
Talking about Salt, Jolie explains: “I’d just had the twins,” she recalls. “I’d been in a nightgown for a very, very long time. And I was sitting in the hospital breastfeeding and reading this script in my nightgown, feeling so soft and mama … and I was flipping these pages and it was all fighting and shooting guns. I thought, ‘That’s what I need. I need to get out of my nightgown and I need a gun.’ I’m sure many a woman who has been through childbirth has thought ‘It would be nice to get a little physical, get a little wild … to remember what that other side is like.’ ”
Jolie and her longtime love Brad Pitt have six children together — Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — and the family is famous for their nomadic lifestyle. “Home is wherever we are,” she says. But does she ever feel rootless? “Yes, but happily. I’m very bad at staying in one place. I’m also bad at sitting still? There’s so much to explore in the world? So I love travel. If you can travel I think it’s the best way to raise kids.”
Her directorial debut — In the Land of Blood and Honey — is a love story she also wrote, which is set in the Bosnian war. “I prefer [being behind the camera] to acting,” she admits. “I think I’ve learnt something from all of [the directors I've worked with] — even the ones I didn’t like? I also learned a lot from Clint Eastwood about how to appreciate the members of the crew, empowering them to do their job.”
But Jolie doesn’t plan to stay in the business forever. “As Brad and I get older we’re going to do fewer films. I’ve been working for a long time, he’s been working for a long time,” she says. “We’ve had a nice run and I don’t want to be doing this our whole lives. There are a lot of other things to do.”
She has been to Cambodia this year, to shoot an advertising campaign for Louis Vuitton with Annie Leibovitz. An impoverished country might seem like an odd place for a luxury fashion house to shoot an ad campaign but the final decision was made by Jolie herself. “To actually do it there, to highlight the beauty of the country, was something I was very happy to do because it is a place people should travel to,” she says. Indeed, she and Pitt have a house there?”it’s a little place on stilts”. Her fee from the campaign will go towards charitable projects in the country, she says, building on work she began with a foundation the family established in Maddox’s name. “It’s focused on protecting mountains from deforestation, poaching and clearing landmines. We put it together for Mad so when he’s older he’ll hopefully take it over.”
China is on her list of places still to explore, and she would love to see Burma, “but not in the wrong circumstances”, given that the country is under the control of an oppressive military junta. “And Iran. I’d love to go [to] Iran.” Her dream, however, is to “cross the Sahara. It takes 28 days … it would have to be on a camel. I wonder if I could do it in pieces and station the kids along the way,” she muses.

I understand that Angelina?s top priority is being a mom, and good for her. But I?m getting so friggin? tired of hearing her talk about how she?s going to be cutting back or phasing out working and all of that. She?s been saying it for years, and she needs to find a new topic of conversation for all of the interviews she does year after year to promote all of films she does year after year. I don?t begrudge her working, nor do I begrudge her the time she spends with her family. But I just get tired of her ringing the same ?I?m taking time off, I?m spending more time with my family? bell when she works about the same as always.
UPDATE: Ah, Slate has the full Financial Times article here. It?s a pretty good piece. The best part is her response when she?s asked about The News of the World, the tabloid which she and Brad sued after they reported that she and Brad were breaking up. ?I did hear something about that … clearly I never read it. So it’s hard to know how much of a loss it is.? Diplomatic.

Being honored with a special tribute, Angelina Jolie was joined by Brad Pitt at the closing ceremony of the 17th Sarajevo Film Festival on Saturday (July 30).
Held at the national theatre in downtown Sarajevo, the couple worked the red carpet before Miss Jolie was presented with the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo award.
Overwhelmed by the reception from the gathered crowd, the "Wanted" actress reportedly fought back tears upon getting a seemingly non-stop ovation after being introduced by actress Zana Marjanovic.
During her speech, Jolie graciously said, ?I?m so happy to be in this remarkable city in this beautiful country and I?ve spent the last year lucky enough to experience not just the warmth and the hospitality of the local people but also your extraordinary talent."
Continuing on about her experience shooting her directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey" in Bosnia, Angelina stated, "In my career, I have never worked with such disciplined and talented artists as I was able to this last year."

These are some new photos of Angelina Jolie going into ?The Toy Shop? in Richmond, England today. She brought Shiloh and Empress Z, and she caused a commotion. Can I just say something? I kind of love that Shiloh and the Empress are joined at the hip. More often than not, they are the pair that consistently gets taken out for treats and such. Brad takes out Maddox and Pax a lot, but I feel like Shiloh and Z get a lot of mom-time all together. It feels like Z and Shiloh are BFF-sisters. Shiloh will make a very loyal patron to the Court of the Empress. LOOK AT THE FACE:
*dies*
As you?ve probably seen on other blogs, Angelina has been taking the kids out a lot lately. You can see some photos here, at LaineyGossip. The Jolie-Pitts are in England (where Brad is completing World War Z), and Angelina has been doing fun mom stuff with the little ones. They?ve been to the Aquarium, they went to the movies, they went to McDonalds and?? I don?t know, they?ve been in and out of The Dorchester Hotel. Sounds like fun. Sidenote: Last night, I had a dream I was pregnant and Angelina wanted to adopt the baby. Weird, right? She kept saying, ?Your baby is going to be Indian, I don?t have an Indian baby.?
Also: I HATE Angelina?s wedges. Wedges are so ?Aniston?. Bitch needs to either wear flats or heels. As for the rest of Angelina?s outfit: LV bag (fine), great pencil skirt, and a too-neutral sweater. The ensemble makes me miss her all-black outfits.

Enjoying a relaxing day in London, Angelina Jolie was spotted at a local toy shop in the Richmond neighborhood this morning (July 26).
The ?Tomb Raider? babe was joined by her daughters Zahara and Shiloh as she made her exit and quickly hopped into a chauffeured car and sped off.
And it sounds like Ang may be getting an invitation to star in ?Sin City 2? from the film?s director Robert Rodriguez himself.
The iconic director, who mentioned casting Jolie in the past, told press, "I don't think we'll have trouble [getting stars to come] on board because people loved 'Sin City' and they love that world and they love a chance to play in that arena and so many actors especially love film noir, and it's such an updated modernized film noir that it doesn?t feel nostalgic. It feels new, so I think people will run to be a part of it."

Kicking off the week with some underwater adventures, Angelina Jolie was spotted at the London Aquarium this morning (July 25).
The ?Girl, Interrupted? actress was joined by her children Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne as she navigated the busy London streets while shutterbugs scurried for a few shots.
Jolie has been in charge of keeping the kiddos occupied while their papa Brad Pitt works on his current film project ?World War Z.?
Last week, Angelina treated her brood to a private screening of ?Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.?
