A few weeks ago, Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet at the LA premiere of Disney?s Dumbo. She brought her four youngest kids too. Jolie doesn?t have a role in Dumbo, but she?d worked with some of the special effects team before, and as I pointed out at the time, Angelina is a Disney Lady now. In addition to Maleficent and the sequel (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil!!), she?s working for/with Disney on several other projects too. I also said in that Dumbo post: ?I expected her to end up in a Star Wars movie and/or a Marvel movie.? Well, guess what? Chica got a Marvel movie.
Angelina Jolie is getting ready to make her first foray into the world of superhero movies. The Oscar-winning actress is in talks to star in Marvel Studios The Eternals, a superhero team adventure feature being directed by Chloe Zhao.
Jolie has chosen the Marvel project based on the Jack Kirby-created title about superpowered and near-immortal beings known as Eternals and a more monstrous offshoot known as the Deviants that were created by the cosmic beings called Celestials.
While details about the movie are being kept under wraps, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that one aspect to the story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans. It is unclear who Jolie will play. Marvel had no comment.
While this will be Jolie?s first superhero movie, it is not her first comic book movie? she starred in the 2007 adaptation of Mark Millar?s Wanted.

La Jolie + Marvel = something I can get behind. Sorry, Avengers. Of course, I don?t know anything about The Eternals and whether this is actually a good property, but if it?s being produced by Marvel and they?re throwing their money behind it, that means it will make a billion dollars and Angelina will be the first lady of Disney/Marvel. Yay.

One of the smartest moves Angelina Jolie ever made for her career was getting in bed with Disney. She seemed to surprise herself by enjoying the process of making and promoting the first Maleficent movie, and after her split from Brad Pitt, Angelina has been doing a lot of stuff with Disney, like Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and voice work on The One and Only Ivan. I expected her to end up in a Star Wars movie and/or a Marvel movie.
Anyway, Angelina is a Disney Lady now, so she came out to support Disney?s latest, the live-action Dumbo, directed by Tim Burton. It?s weird Tim Burton and Angelina have never worked together, right? They seem like? they would get along. Angelina doesn?t have many connections to the actors in the film, but apparently the Disney peeps involved with Dumbo are the same ones who worked on Maleficent. Oh? Colin Farrell is in the film. He and Angelina used to deal with each other, very briefly, fifteen years ago. Cough. Maybe they are dealing with each other again. Cough.
It?s also possible that Angelina just wanted to be a cool mom and take her kids to see Dumbo. Angelina brought her four youngest children to the premiere, and they all posed on the carpet. Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox were all there. Maddox and Pax are too old to be enchanted by a tale of a magical flying elephant, sob. I don?t have an ID on Angelina?s dress, but it?s beautiful. It looks sort of familiar, like she?s possible worn it before, years ago.
Here are some photos of the cast of Dumbo Michael Keaton doing his thing, Colin looking like a snack, and Eva Green in an optical illusion Iris van Herpen gown (Eva?s makeup is terrible, btw).

Angelina Jolie stepped out this weekend with her son Pax. They went shopping on Melrose Avenue, which is sort of an old-school pap stroll. What I always think is interesting is that Angelina Jolie has a certain image, which is largely self-created. That image is badass action heroine/globe-trotting humanitarian/studio-director. She?s all of those things. But she?s also a woman who has spent most of her life in LA. She grew up there. She presumably spent part of her adolescence shopping on Melrose with her mom. She?s raising her kids partially in LA, and she?s continuing that multigenerational LA life.
Anyway, people were making a big deal last week about how Angelina was probably very upset about Brad Pitt attending Jennifer Aniston?s birthday party, and all of the subsequent PR shenanigans about Brad & Jen 2.0. I honestly doubt Angelina gives a sh-t, just like I never believed she gave a sh-t about Neri Oxman or Charlize Theron or whoever else Brad was trying to date. Again, she dumped him. She?s living her life.
Also: remember when Angelina invented white blouses and trench coats?? LOL. I love her whole outfit here, even if I think that white blouse makes her look a tad preggo. Wouldn?t that be something? She?s not pregnant, of course. She?s just gained a little weight and it looks so good on her.

In this coming week?s Gossip With Celebitchy podcast, I admitted something dreadful: if I could ?borrow? any celebrity?s style, I realistically would borrow Angelina Jolie?s style vibes. This is not an endorsement of her entire closet or every single thing she?s ever worn. It?s just that Angelina wears a lot of black and she likes a good trouser or regular pair of pants. She likes a simple blouse and a well-cut coat. She keeps it really simple, and I appreciate that. My vibe is pretty simple too, but Angelina?s vibe is better. It?s goth-lite, with sack dresses and a vague ?70s feel. These photos made me think of our podcast conversation!
Angelina stepped out this weekend with Shiloh. They went to Petco and of course they wound up buying a pet. The pet container looks too small for a puppy and too big for something like a hamster or gerbil. My guess is that they got a rabbit or a kitten. And before everybody climbs up Angie?s butt about ?buying an animal? rather than adopting one from a shelter? my local Petco has an arrangement with the shelters, so they bring in a supply of shelter kitties and puppies and you can buy them there, in-store. And you?re paying for their shots and spay/neuter. My guess is that Angelina?s local Petco has a similar arrangement, at least with cats and dogs. But, as I said, this box is rabbit-sized too. Shiloh seems like the kind of kid who wants a rabbit, right? I imagine her practicing magic tricks and a rabbit would definitely be part of her act.
As I said, I like Angelina?s whole style vibe here the black blouse is really cute, and I like that she?s sprinkled with some very delicate-looking jewelry simple rings, a thin bracelet, small earrings and a long pendant necklace of some variety. The boots are my favorite part!
PS It just occurred to me that this could be a snake or a lizard or something? But do they put snakes and lizards in these kinds of boxes?

I recently read a Twitter thread about the differences between Generation X, Xennials and Millennials, and now I?m thinking about it with regards to Angelina Jolie. Angelina has always been rather low-tech, hasn?t she? Angelina is Gen-X, but so many of her references feel so ?70s. She prefers a less modern approach to life. She has a iPhone of course, but I bet she still calls people on her landline. She still shops in malls, which few people do at this point, and she encourages her kids to do crafts. I bet she has a typewriter.
Anyway, these are some photos of Angelina making yet another trip to a mall. She took Knox, Zahara and an assistant-type to the Century City Westfield Mall over the weekend. She looked like any other mom, I guess. Black slacks, black boots, black coat and a simple white blouse. Zahara is such a fashionista, right? So fashion-forward. I wish Zahara would really start styling her mom.
I?ve missed seeing Angelina during the awards season, but I wonder if she?ll come out for the Oscars, as a presenter? She doesn?t have anything immediate to promote, and Brad Pitt actually produced two of the films which are likely to get some Oscar nominations (If Beale Street Could Talk and Beautiful Boy). I?d say that Brad is more likely to make a surprise appearance at the hostless Oscars, especially since he?s been doing some low-key campaigning for the films he?s produced, but you never know. I could also see Angelina stopping by.

Angelina Jolie has long eschewed the more traditional Hollywood scene. Even though she seems to have made LA her homebase for the past few years while she and Brad are divorcing we rarely hear about her going to industry parties or events or even screenings. Like, I can?t even remember any time when Angelina might have taken the kids to a screening of a new film that she wasn?t involved in. If she takes the kids to a movie, they actually go to a movie theater and they buy tickets. Anyway, all of this to say? Angelina went to a party. An industry-type party. The party was forSurvivor? Oh, Angie.
Who knew Angelina Jolie was a Survivor fan? A source tells PEOPLE the actress, 43, and some of her children attended the Survivor live reunion of the show?s 37th season, David vs. Goliath, in Los Angeles on Dec. 19.
?They had a great time,? says the source. ?The kids really enjoyed it.?
Jolie?s attendance at the long-running CBS show, which has already aired, might have surprised a few but it stemmed from her friendship with writer, producer and actor Mike White, who was a contestant in the latest season as a member of the Goliath tribe. The two became friends while working on the upcoming Disney film The One and Only Ivan based on the 2012 novel by K. A. Applegate. White wrote the screenplay while Jolie stars in and serves as a producer in the film.
A second source tells PEOPLE White, 48, and a small group of friends headed to Jolie?s home for an impromptu gathering after the reunion was taped.
[From People]
Fun fact: Mike White is a prolific screenwriter and writer of episodic television, and one of his most famous screenplays was *drumroll* The Good Girl, which was one of Jennifer Aniston?s indie vehicles back in 2002. Mike White is also an actor, and he appeared in The Good Girl with Aniston, and I remember hearing about how they became friends too. And now he?s friends with Angelina. When will Angie ever stop stealing Jennifer?s men, huh??? Anyway, it makes some kind of sense that Angelina just did this because she?s friendly with Mike White, as opposed to Angelina sitting at home, becoming a major fan of Survivor and pulling strings (???) to get into the reunion party. LMAO. Fk it, maybe that is a better story alone and desperate, the Villainess Jolie becomes an avid consumer of reality TV. She stans for Survivor, Vanderpump Rules and, of course, the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Last Friday, Angelina Jolie guest edited the BBC Radio 4 program Today. We knew she was doing it ahead of time Angelina has become more involved in the media, and even more specifically, she?s become more involved in British media. BBC Radio 4 even posted some nice photos of Angelina hard at work behind-the-scenes:

Do you think Angelina Jolie would ever run for political office? Ten years ago, five years ago, even two years ago, I would have said no way. I would have said that Angelina feels like she can do the most good by working the system from the outside. But in the first heat of Angelina and Brad Pitt?s divorce, there were claims that Brad was disconcerted by Angelina?s gradual move to politics, and that she seemed to be moving towards a political career? in the UK. I thought that was just part of his smear campaign, just an attempt to paint Angelina as a harpy who made him unhappy in every way. But considering that 2018 was the year where women stood up and said ?fk this, I?m running for office,? I?m starting to wonder if Angelina?s long-term plan is going to focused on UK politics. She?s building a real life for herself in the UK, and now this:
Angelina Jolie has joined an upcoming BBC current affairs show for children set to land in 2019. Our World, which Jolie will executive produce, will begin as a 10-episode weekly program aimed at promoting global media literacy among children aged 7-12. According to BBC-commissioned U.K. research, seven is the age that children become aware of the news and 12.6 is the average age a U.S. child signs up for a social media account, so the time between represents a window to instill in children the value of asking questions and a chance to develop critical thinking.
?There has never been a time when it was more important to introduce the next generation to objective, impartial news and factual explanation of the events and issues shaping our world, said Jolie. Children today are exposed to a lot of opinion, but not necessarily to information that is fact-based and reliable. Jolie added: As a mother, I am very pleased that the BBC World Service is taking this step. It is also important to me that the project is global, and will help young people in different countries to be connected to each other and to have greater awareness and understanding of the news on an international basis.
This project aims to be global in scope, engaging children from Argentina to Zimbabwe. It will kick off with an English version but the BBC will seek production partners to expand programming into multiple languages.
Our World will be a multimedia project with digital and broadcast elements, including a weekly half-hour TV show. The BBC will launch a 10-week trial of the project and is in talks with a number of international digital and broadcast media organizations interested in co-production and distribution. The pilot TV programs will be distributed via the World Service?s existing TV partnerships and via other suitable broadcasters internationally.

Maybe I?m dating myself, but I grew up with this kind of thing in my classroom Channel One was a fixture of my public school education from, like, grades 5 through 10? It was a news broadcast for kids and used as an educational supplement, and the news was pretty international, looking back on it. This sounds like a great project for Angelina, and for kids around the world. It?s true that kids understand a lot more than we think they do, and even if they?re not able to process every single thing that?s happening in the world, it?s good to expose them to specialized programming that doesn?t talk down to them. Will Angelina need to spend more time in the UK to executive produce this show?

Angelina Jolie is the kind of person who still goes to malls and brick-and-mortar stores to shop. She probably knows that she could find everything she wants online, but I guess with six growing kids, she probably wants them to try on stuff before buying. So it happened again: Angelina got pap?d with some of her kids. Angelina took the three youngest kids Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox to the Grove in LA. They went to Crate & Barrel, Barnes & Noble and? I can?t see any other bags, but they probably went other places. The other day, I actually did some Christmas shopping in some stores too I went to Pier One (didn?t buy anything) and Barnes & Noble (bought way too much).
We still haven?t heard much about the deal Angelina and Brad agreed to, even though ?sources? claimed that Brad ?got what he wanted,? even if what he got was less than 50% custody. I?m wondering if they negotiated a deal for Christmas too does Angelina get the kids on Christmas morning, and Brad gets them on Christmas afternoon? Ah, divorced parents Christmas drama. Tensions will be high, no matter what. I predict well be unwrapping some Jolie-Pitt Christmas beef on December 27th.
The kids look fine with their mom though. Those Jolie-Pitt genes are so funny Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne all look alike. The only thing that bugs me is that everyone but Viv is covered up in warmer clothes. Maybe Vivienne just runs hot, no matter the temperature.

Before Thanksgiving, we heard that Angelina Jolie had organized some kind of two-day film festival which would focus on stories of war-zone rape. I think it was a mistake to call it or refer to it a ?film festival,? when really it was probably more of an educational, seminar-like experience featuring documentary footage and first-hand accounts from victims. Anyway, Angelina Jolie really did spend a chunk of her Thanksgiving holiday in London, doing this festival/seminar thing called Fighting Stigma Through Film, which she hosted at the British Film Institute. These photos are from Angelina exiting the BFI. Good lord, she looks beautiful. Is it just me or has she gained a little bit of weight? She looks healthier in these photos.
Angelina Jolie is continuing to fight for the victims of sexual violence in war. Speaking at the Fighting Stigma Through Film festival in London Friday, Jolie described the crime as ?an urgent international issue,? adding that ?changing attitudes and laws, and challenging stigma and impunity for sexual violence in all our societies is the work of generations. It?s all of you, it?s all of us together.?
The Fighting Stigma festival is an offshoot of the wider Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict (PSVI) campaign Jolie founded with former British foreign secretary William Hague in 2012. It features 35 movies focusing on the discrimination and social stigma faced by survivors of warzone rape and other forms of sexual violence in conflict. The filmmakers come from 14 different countries including Syria, Burma, Russia and Nigeria. Other attendees included Sophie Wessex and British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
?I can only imagine the kind of difficulties that many of you have faced to get to this point in your lives,? Jolie said warmly to the filmmakers gathered at the British Film Institute on London?s Southbank. Jolie continued, ?From the start, PSVI has been about bringing together survivors, civil society and legal experts with [the] government to work together to affect change; not government telling civil society or survivors what needs to be done, but listening to and supporting the voices of the people most directly involved.?
While behind the mic, Jolie will interview a number of high-profile guests about potential solutions to warzone sexual violence and the equally heart-wrenching topic of the global refugee crisis.
?I hope we will be working on this for many years to come,? Jolie told the audience at the BFI, adding that it was crucial to allow ?the voices who set the agenda to be those of the survivors themselves.?
[From People]
It would not surprise me at all if Angelina moved full-time to London once everything was settled with the divorce and custody war stuff. She?s so comfortable there, and she?s been quietly building a life for herself there, with a focus on her Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict initiative. She?s got several good friends in London now too. As for this film festival it sounds like devastating subject matter, but necessary stories to tell. I trust that Jolie and the filmmakers didn?t participate in this for any exploitative reasons. Jolie likely used her name to put this together, and to shine a light on the work of these filmmakers.
