Looking dashing as always, Angelina Jolie
was spotted at the screening of her newest film "In the Land of Blood and Honey"
in London, England this afternoon .
The 36-year-old joined forces with
Foreign Secretary William Hague at the Foreign Commonwealth Office to launch a
dedicated British team to combat and prevent sexual violence overseas ahead of
the film's screening.
This new initiative was created ahead of
Britain’s 2013 presidency campaign and Mr. Hague spoke out saying, “It is in the
context of war and conflict that sexual violence is found to the most appalling
degree, and on a scale most of us cannot imagine.”
"Sexual violence is an issue which is
central to conflict prevention and to peace building worldwide," he
added.
Jolie is a special envoy for the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and has visited countries in need
including Iraq, Dafur in Sudan and Libya and her new film is her big directing
debut and deals with mass rapes by Bosnian Serb forces.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have set up
home in the UK as they film back to back projects in the country and are said to
be very excited about the upcoming Diamond Jubilee celebrations that will sweep
the country this weekend and are looking forward to joining in with the locals
for a very British party.
Currently the famous family are based in
Richmond, London and have done some research as to what exactly is happening in
their area and may well be paying a visit to a street party of two.
"Brad and Angelina love England and have
been made to feel very welcome in Richmond. They want to fully embrace the
Jubilee celebrations. The kids are very excited," a source told Grazia
Magazine.
The couple have reportedly bought tickets
for a tea party being held near their home which is promising traditional
British games like tug-of-war, cricket and a cake baking contest.
"Brad and Angelina are aware of the
celebrations. They have had information sent to them and have shown an
interest," an insider revealed.

Having last teamed up back in 2005, it is
being reported that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may join forces on the big
screen, once more.
According to Deadline, the Hollywood
power couple both are attached to star in director Ridley Scott's next film
titled "The Counselor".
The movie is about "a lawyer who finds
himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking."
With filming slated to get underway in
late June, Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem and Jeremy Renner are all currently
attached to the blockbuster project.
Angelina Jolie's one of the world’s
best-known actresses, but Angelina Jolie also has a passion for designing
high-end jewelry.
And the “Changeling” chick' collaborator,
jeweler Robert Procop, will be taking their designs to the South of France for
the Style of Jolie this summer.
Procop told press he has two different
exhibitions lined up- the Grand Hotel in Cap Ferrat and the Hotel de Paris in
Monaco.
The shows will run from July 15th through
August 15th, and Robert noted, “It’s the one place where everyone loves to spend
their summer,” regarding the French region.
Brad Pitt's always a festival favorite,
and Brad Pitt was in fine form as he attended the 65th Cannes Film Festival
premiere of his new movie "Killing Them Softly" on May 22 .
Joined by his costars, the "Mr. and Mrs.
Smith" star looked dapper as he worked his magic on the fans and paparazzi
outside the Palais des Festivals prior to the screening.
Making for quite the site to be seen,
other celebrities packing the glitzy red carpet included a red hot Irina Shayk
and her model gal pal Karolina Kurkova, as well as Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson,
Sean "Diddy" Combs, tennis ace Novak Djokovic, Kelly Brook, Alec Baldwin,
Cassie, Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Irons.
When asked if he was concerned about the
level of violence in the film and its affect on his kids, Brad explained, "Not
at all. Violence is an accepted part of the gangster world. I'd have a harder
time playing a racist than some guy who shoots another guy in the
face."
Pitt added, "Ever seen them butcher a cow
for hamburger? It's incredibly brutal and violent. We live in a very violent
world."
Heading out to raise much-needed funds as the rebuilding
efforts pushes forth, Brad Pitt was joined by Angelina Jolie at the Hyatt
Regency in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday night .
The Hollywood power couple turned up at the locale so
that the "Moneyball" actor could team up with Ellen DeGeneres to co-host the
charity fete titled "A Night to Make It Right".
The sold-out gala cost attendees between $1,000 and
$2,500 with the festivities including gourmet cuisine along with a concert
featuring a lineup of Rihanna, Sheryl Crow, Seal and Dr. John.
With other stars joining in on the money raising efforts
including Sean Penn, Spike Lee, Josh Brolin and Kevin Spacey, the star-studded
affair also boasts an afterparty with actor-comedian Aziz Ansari playing host
while Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and the Soul Rebels are among those taking the
stage.
Talking to Reuters about whether it was difficult to get
big names to come to New Orleans, Pitt laughingly replied, "Even though these
people don't like me that much, it really was simple."
"They carved this time out of their schedule strictly
for this event, and came on their own dime," he added. "We have so much
incredible talent that wanted to come and support the city - it's going to be
like a mini-Grammys show."
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's engagement
could be a long one! A month after the actor slipped a custom-designed diamond
ring on his lady love's finger, he says they aren't rushing to the
altar.
"We actually really, truly have no date,"
Pitt, who is promoting his new gangster flick "Killing Them Softly," said at a
press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday. And they're not
abandoning their previous position that they would like same-sex marriage to be
legalized before they take the plunge. "We're still hoping that we can figure
out marriage equalit
As for why, after seven years and six
kids together, they decided to get engaged, Pitt said it was all about the
timing. "It's just something that makes sense to us," he noted.
Pitt, who was casually dressed for the
event in a grey suit and white T-shirt and sported a goatee, said he's flying
solo at Cannes this year because Jolie, who is getting ready to shoot
"Maleficent," is too busy to attend. "She's actually not here right now," he
said. "She's prepping for a movie she starts very soon."
But she was a frequent topic of
conversation. Pitt was also asked if he and Jolie, who fell in love on the set
of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston, would
costar in another movie. He replied: "Yeah, we'd love to." Although it was
rumored that collaboration would take place in "The Counselor," it now looks
like Cameron Diaz will be playing the part instead.
In Pitt's upcoming crime thriller
"Killing Them Softly," he plays Jackie Cogan, who is a professional enforcer
called in to investigate a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker
game. Ray Liotta also stars and Andrew Dominik directs.
The moment finally came! Brad Pitt
proposed to Angelina Jolie after seven years of dating and six
children.
Many thought that the moment would never
arrive, but those who followed Brangelina's love story remained hopeful and got
their wish.
Seven years after the most talked about
affair in Tinseltown, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have confirmed they are
indeed engaged and - although it might be hailed the most anticipated celebrity
wedding of all time - there is one celebrity who doesn't care to hear any of the
details.
Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston has been
rumored to still have feelings for the actor over the years, but it seems to not
be the case anymore.
Upon learning about the engagement, an
Aniston pal assured E! News, "She doesn't care. She really doesn't. She's happy
with Justin [Theroux]. She'll probably marry him. She's moved on. People don't
want to believe it, but she has."
Aniston was reportedly at home when she
found out Brangelina are set to wed, as another source revealed, "She was happy
and hanging out with her man".
It seems the 43-year-old actress has
really been enjoying her year long relationship with Theroux, and she recently
opened up about their relationship, telling Australia's Marie Claire, "He's a
protector, for sure, he's just a good human being, and so funny."
Billy Bob’s not the most traditional
celebrity, and Billy Bob Thornton confessed he made a big boo-boo when it came
to his marriage with super-hottie Angelina Jolie.
The “Monster’s Ball” star noted that he
struggled to think he was “good enough for her” and finally just “blew
it.”
Thornton explained, "She has one way she
wanted to live her life and I had another way to live mine. I was just too
insecure. I felt like the Phantom of the Opera hiding in the catacombs. People
actually said that I didn't deserve to be with her."
"When you're in a relationship, any two
celebrities or whatever, you know, I think that puts on a lot of pressure. When
Angie and I got married, during that time, I was more famous than she was to
start with and then she becomes this big thing, it's hard in these
relationships.”
"We had a great marriage and I chickened
out because I didn't feel good enough. That's all that happened. It was no big
deal, we never hated each other,” he added.
After a momentous announcement that Brad Pitt proposed to his longtime girlfriend and mother of his children, Angelina
Jolie the powerhouse actor is back to focusing on his film projects as he took
over the cover of the May 2012 issue of GQ India magazine.
The 48-year-old actor looks suave and
sexy for the Mario Sorrenti photo shoot while Karan Jain gushed about the star's
momentous career over throughout the years.
Featured in "The Kings of Hollywood”
section, the "Moneyball" actor is praised not taking "the easy way out" of roles
and described as an actor that "can be smooth and charming, but also troubled
and confused."
He joins fellow 'Kings of Hollywood'
A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney; both described as out-of-the
ordinary stars who remain timeless and intriguing.
Following a brief holiday on the
Galapagos Islands to celebrate her engagement to Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie was
spotted in Ecuador over the weekend.
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress opted
for a makeup-free appearance as she met with Columbian refugees, sporting rubber
boots, a tank top, and a backpack.
Jolie, a special envoy to the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, also spent some time with regional
farmers and High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres.
And though there was no glitz or glam,
Angelina was still glowing from her betrothal news. An insider told press that
after Pitt popped the question, “Everyone hugged once she put the ring on. She
went around and showed it to each of the kids.”
Past models for the famous women's
fragrance have included movie stars Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou, and Vanessa
Paradis. But a man?
Though the decision marks a break from
tradition, it's in keeping with Chanel's long-running ad campaign in that it not
only trades on Pitt's unimpeachable seductiveness (twice confirmed by People
magazine's Sexiest Man Alive cover), but also brings to mind his equally
glamorous partner, Angelina Jolie. In part, " this is a way of saying Angelina
Jolie without saying Angelina Jolie," says William M. O' Barr, professor of
cultural anthropology at Duke University and author of ADText, an online
textbook about advertising and society. "What's true about Chanel spokespeople
is they are people with classic beauty, and I think this is Brad Pitt's charm
here."
"There is also the implication that the
fabulous Ms. Jolie might use the perfume, and thus be worthy of emulation," says
Sidney J. Levy, professor of marketing at the University of Arizona. "While it
is a cliche to say [women] really dress for other women," Levy adds, "they
surely care about how they smell to men."
Pitt is not the first man to sell women's
products. Bob Dylan appeared in a Victoria's Secret (LTD)ad in 2004. In India,
women's soap brand Lux (UN) ran an ad featuring Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan in
a bathtub filled with flower petals and surrounded by four actresses. "The novel
commercial was an enormous success both because viewers liked it and because the
press gave it an extraordinary amount of publicity," according to
ADText.
O' Barr says part of advertising is
breaking through the clutter. "Someday someone might ask me, why is that gorilla
coming down the staircase with underwear in its mouth? I'll say it's the shock
value of it all. That's perhaps the most important thing going on here.
Attention and publicity. It works beautifully."
Pitt has also appeared in ads for Levi's
jeans, Heineken, Tag Heuer, as well as commercials in Japan, according to IMDb.
Chanel will pay Pitt seven figures, reported People, and the perfumer's first
television ad featuring Pitt will be released overseas later this
year.
Continuing forth with their worldwide
travels, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went on a family sight-seeing expedition
in the Galapagos Islands on Monday .
The newly engaged Hollywood power couple
deboarded a private jet with their brood before loading onto a docked water
vessel to cruise the waters and check out the volcanic islands'
scenery.
The overseas excursion comes just as Miss
Jolie has been named as an honorary citizen of Sarajevo as a thank you for her
attention-grabbing film directorial debut titled "In the Land of Blood and
Honey".
Of the decision by the Bosnian government
to dote the accolade on the actress, a source told Us magazine that it was for
"her contribution to the preservation of truth about the war in Sarajevo and in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, and her dedication to the protection of the principles
of humanity, democracy, tolerance and solidarity between people of different
ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds".
It's no secret that she's not a fan of
Angelina Jolie, and Chelsea Handler had more choice words about the "Changeling"
chick in her interview with More magazine's May 2012 issue.
The "Chelsea Lately" host, who also
happens to be BFFs with Jennifer Aniston, was asked to describe the "the
opposite of a girl's girl."
She replied, "Probably Angelina Joie. You
just know as a woman, when you see another woman, if that's a woman you can
trust."
"Angelina Jolie doesn't strike me as
someone I would have a close friendship with," she added. Back in December 2012
Chelsea called Jolie a "home wrecker."
