Angelina Jolie ’s a woman on a mission,
and earlier today (September 14) Angelina Jolie spent some time with Syrian
refugees in Kilis, Turkey.
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress wore an
all-black getup as she met with both adults and children who were among the
12,000 folks occupying the Oncupinar camp.
And though she tried to promote a
positive message, Angelina also expressed concerns over the welfare of the
refugees as temperatures begin to drop later this year.
Jolie shared, “The coming winter is a
very large concern for all of us. We want to make sure no one freezes to death
in this very frightening time.”
Following in her famous parents'
footsteps, little Vivienne Jolie-Pitt will make her acting debut alongside her
mother Angelina Jolie in the Disney film, "Maleficent."
Disney Studios confirmed the 4-year-old's
involvement today. In the movie, the blonde cutie will play the child version of
Elle Fanning's Princess Aurora.
The live-action flick is a re-imagination
of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty," told from the perspective of the
villainess. Miss Jolie will play the title character.
In March, the proud parent spoke to
Entertainment Weekly about her role, saying, "It's a really great script, and
I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted"
Angelina Jolie's been a longtime crusader
for those who need the most help, so it seems fitting that Angelina Jolie made
special note of yesterday's (August 19) observance of World Humanitarian
Day.
Of the day dedicated to recognize
humanitarian personnel and those who have lost their lives working for
humanitarian causes, the 37-year-old actress posted a message on Facebook
commenting on it's importance.
In her penning, Jolie wrote, “On World
Humanitarian Day we remember the aid workers who have lost their lives in the
line of duty and we honor the extraordinary courage and dedication of
humanitarian workers around the world."
Angelina, who has dutifully offered her
services to the UN Special Envoys as of late, finished by writing, “I had the
honor and the pleasure of meeting one of these brave individuals before his
murder during a visit to Pakistan, where I witnessed first-hand the incredible
devotion of a very kind and gentle man. His name was Mr.
Zill-e-Usman."
It all began on the set of their film
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and now Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are said to be slated
to tie the knot this weekend in the South of France.
Four years ago, the couple purchased the
17th-century Chateau Miraval. The 35-room estate near the French village of
Correns will likely host the Hollywood wedding, according to a range of
reports.
The 48-year-old stud and his 37-year-old
wife-to-be apparently were scheduled to exchange vows last weekend, but it's
claimed that plans changed when alterations to the Chateau weren’t
finished.
According to the mayor of Correns,
Mickeal Latz, the wedding is “more likely” to occur tomorrow (August 19). On
Sunday (August 12), he said, “It's a far more likely date. There are no plans
for a civil wedding in Correns this weekend.”
When it comes to nuptial details, Miss
Jolie has apparently asked her 39-year-old brother James Haven to give her away
despite reconciling with her father, Jon Voight. Also on the guest list are
Brad’s parents, Bill and Jane, along with his brother Doug and sister
Julie.
Fellow celebrities likely to attend the
grand wedding include George Clooney, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise.
Angelina’s uncle, singer-songwriter Chip Taylor, has been invited, along with
her godparents, British actress Jacqueline Bisset and Austrian actor Maximilian
Schell.
Still, one of the best kept secrets is
who designed the bride’s wedding dress. According to reports, the brunette
beauty had several meetings with L’Wren Scott, but we’ll have to wait and
see!
Everyone is waiting for them to finally
say "I Do," and it seems Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be walking down the
aisle this weekend.
According to a report, the
Jolie-Pitt-owned Chateau Miraval in France has been buzzing with event
preparations and guests are already arriving from all over the world.
An insider told press, “Brad flew in to
oversee preparations but they’re all here now. They say it's for Jane and Bill,
but some think this could be it. Even Angelina's private jeweler is
here."
However, Deputy Culture Secretary Patrick
Mareschi claims his office hasn't been informed of any wedding. “We don't know
anything about it. Under French law couples have to get married at the town
hall. Unlike with a religious wedding, there's no way a couple can hold a civil
ceremony at their own home."
It’s no secret that in-laws can be
tricky, and even though Angelina Jolie isn’t yet married to Brad Pitt, rumor has
it her would-be mother-in-law Jane is already driving her crazy.
According to a report, the “Changeling”
chic
k threw a fit when she discovered that Mama Pitt purchased girlie clothes
for her daughter Shiloh, as the girl prefers to dress as a tomboy.
Per the rumor, Ang can’t believe Jane would try to force her daughter to
wear the uber-feminine garb, given that Shiloh is well-known to love dressing
like her brothers.
An insider claims, “It's well documented
that Shiloh likes to dress like a boy. But Jane still insists on buying her
fairy costumes and princess dresses, which Angelina finds very
disrespectful.”
Additionally, Jane also rubbed Ang the
wrong way when she wrote a letter urging Americans to vote against President
Barack Obama, citing his recently-changed view in favor of gay
marriage.
Mrs. Pitt declared, “Any Christian should
spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high
morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian
conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.”
After a big night of celebrating some of
Europe’s best filmmakers, Angelina Jolie was spotted boarding a private jet in
Bosnia with her children Zahara, Pax and Shiloh on Sunday .
The “Changeling” actress attended the
18th Annual Sarajevo Film Festival last evening and hosted a cinema workshop,
which was held in honor of young southeast European movie makers.
In related news, the film festival marks
the first public event in which the 37-year-old showed off her engagement ring
from fiancé Brad Pitt.
The “Maleficent” beauty was spotted
wearing her $500,000 bling that was co-designed by jeweler Robert Procop along
with her future hubby.
The couple still have not determined a
timeline for their marriage and, back in May, Pitt said, “We actually, really
and truly, have no date,” adding, "It's just something that makes sense to us,
and certainly date-wise, it's just a rumor. We're still hoping that we can
figure out marriage equality in the states before that date."
Making a stunning arrival at the overseas
event, Angelina Jolie was on-hand for the 18th Annual Sarajevo Film Festival
festivities held at the National Theater on Saturday (July 7).
As an honorary citizen of the beautiful
city, the 37-year-old actress was thrilled to be back and graced the special
event in an olive-toned top with black bottoms.
During his visit, the “Changeling” star
participated in a cinema workshop, which was held in honor of young southeast
European filmmakers.
During her appearance, Angelina told
press, "Sarajevo Film Festival is a very significant event that draws the
attention of the public to art, music and great talent throughout the region.
The festival also recalls the tremendous healing potential of art and you have a
movie. Every time it is a great pleasure to come here."
Miss Jolie is no stranger to the
festival. She’s attended it in the past along with her future husband Brad Pitt,
as well as Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey.
It’s no secret that tabloids love to
target Angelina Jolie, and the latest rumors are more ridiculous than
ever.
Per a National Enquirer story, the
“Changeling” chick is supposedly staying in her “Maleficent” character when she
goes home from the set, and that’s “scaring the wits out of her
kids.”
One supposed insider allegedly told the
rag, “On the film set in London, she wears terrifying makeup and huge horns,
which is a frightening prospect for anyone. But she’s also been taking her
‘Maleficent’ role home to the rental mansion where she and Brad Pitt are staying
with their brood.”
“When she first showed up wearing a long
gown and reciting her lines like her super-nasty character, they thought it was
funny. But now it’s just creeping them out!” the source added.
Of course, the whole story is completely
bogus, with a friend of the family stating that Jolie is doing just fine leaving
work at work, and would never do such a thing to hurt her beloved
brood.
Trending to her non-stop promotional
duties, Angelina Jolie was spotted at the premiere of "In the Land of Blood and
Honey" in Zagreb, Croatia on Friday .
Greeted by hundreds of excited fans, the
"Salt" actress looked fabulous in a rust-colored J Mendel long-sleeved dress and
posed for several pictures alongside Bosnian actress Zana Marjanovic and actor
Rade Serbedzija.
Jolie, who wore a Ralph and Russo gown,
and a Gucci clad Brad Pitt attended the Parisian premiere of "In the Land of
Blood and Honey."
Recently chatting with AP about the
movie, Angelina told, “This film has taught me to love film again because I see
what film can do and I am re-inspired because I was not feeling very inspired as
an actress. I was feeling very disheartened."
Ever since her directorial debut "In The
Land of Blood and Honey," Angelina Jolie has been itching to get back behind the
camera.
And according to industry rumors, the
“Changeling” chick is contemplating helming the film version of the hit book
series "Fifty Shades of Grey."
However, there haven't been any
substantiated reports just yet, as Jolie is busy working on her current gig
"Maleficent."
Stay linked to the GossipCenter for the
latest on this could-be-totally-awesome story as new details emerge.
Angelina Jolie's always had an impressive
range as an actress, and Angelina Jolie is magnificent in her new role in
"Maleficent."
The "Changeling" chick gets all evil in
the movie, sporting yellow eyes, horns, and blood red lipstick as she assumes
the evil sorceress character from the 1959 Disney animated film "Sleeping
Beauty."
Slated to hit theaters on March 14th,
2014, "Maleficent" also stars big names like Elle Fanning, Miranda Richardson,
Juno Temple, and Imelda Staunton.
And according to a report, the new
version of the story switches the focus to the events that hardened the heart of
Maleficent, who then curses baby Aurora.
Raising awareness for World Refugee Day,
Angelina Jolie has recorded a PSA to commembrate the day which takes place on
Wednesday June 20, 2012.
The 30-second video starts with startling
images of refugee's fleeing their homes, then the 37-year-old actress and UNHCR
Special Envoy looks into the camera to say, “Every minute, eight people around
the world are forced to flee their homes due to war and persecution".
"No one chooses to be a refugee," Jolie
adds, “Today, 43 million people worldwide have been displaced. We remember
them."
UNHCR provides life-saving assistance to
nearly 34 million of those in need, and the organization's goal is encourage
others to extend their generosity and support.
Angelina visited Ecuador in April to meet
with refugees, marking her first trip to the area since being appointed Special
Envoy of UNHCR High Commissioner Antonio Guterres.
Angelina Jolie has recorded a PSA for
World Refugee Day 2012, which takes place June 20.
“Every minute, eight people around the
world are forced to flee their homes due to war and persecution,” the
37-year-old actress and UNHCR Special Envoy says in the video.
“No one chooses to be a refugee,”
Angelina adds. “Today, 43 million people worldwide have been displaced. We
remember them.”
Angelina met with refugees in Ecuador in
April. The trip marked her first visit since being appointed Special Envoy of
UNHCR High Commissioner Antonio Guterres.
Making a trip overseas, Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie visited members of the 1-200th Infantry Battalion in
Egypt.
The couple stopped by to pose for
pictures and spend time with the troops, which posted a photo on its Facebook
page with the caption, "While visiting Luxor on a Morale and Welfare trip,
members from the MFO, to include 1-200th Soldiers, had the opportunity to meet
and take photos with actor Brad Pitt and actress Angelina Jolie."
In other news, rumors surfaced that the
brunette stunner was in talks to direct the film adaptation of the steamy novel,
"Fifty Shades of Grey ?"
Sources for the 37-year-old actress shot
the gossip down saying, “there haven’t been any talks with [the] studio. There
is nothing to these reports but bogus speculation."
Kicking off the week with a very special
occasion, Angelina Jolie is celebrating her 37th birthday today on June
4.
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” starlet is one
of the most high-profile mommies in Tinseltown as well as the soon-to-be-bride
of none other than Brad Pitt.
And in addition to her impressive resume
of movie roles, Angelina knocked it out of the park with her recent directorial
debut “In the Land of Blood and Honey.”
Coming up, Ms. Jolie will star as the
wicked fairy in “Maleficent,” a recreation of the Disney classic film “Sleeping
Beauty.”
Add in her role as a United Nations
Goodwill Ambassador, and all of her humanitarian efforts, and Angelina Jolie’s
life is both blessed and busy!
Angelina Jolie has gone through a lot of
phases in her life — gothic teen, bride of Billy Bob Thornton, and today, mom of
six, A-list actress and humanitarian, always stirring up buzz along the way. As
one of America's most famous women turns 37 on June 4, omg! brings you five of
the most honest, odd, and outrageous things she's ever uttered.
On the vial of then-husband's Billy Bob
Thornton's blood she once wore around her neck: "It's my husband's blood … which
is beautiful to me, you know? Some people like diamonds around their necks or
things like that. I think that's beautiful. And it makes me, it's his life." —
MSNBC interview with Ann Curry, June 2001. Jolie later admitted that the vial
was really filled with a piece of paper stained with a tiny bit of blood, but it
sure did seem weird back then. She abruptly took it off when the two split in
2002.
On receiving her Best Supporting Actress
Oscar for "Girl Interrupted": "I'm in shock. And I'm so in love with my brother
right now, he just held me and said he loved me." — Jolie's acceptance speech at
the 2000 Academy Awards. Sure, we all love our siblings, but the term "in love,"
coupled with her smooching her brother, James Haven, on the lips in front of
cameras on the same night, threw the public for a loop, and the speech has
dogged her ever since.
On being paired with Brad Pitt for the
film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith": "It's actually a very funny combination. My opinion
of marriage comes from a very cynical place, so the question 'Do you want to
kill your spouse?' is a serious thing. And he comes from a place of 'What a
funny idea, to kill the person you're married to,' because he has a happy
marriage." — Vogue, March 2004. Today, of course, this comment seems especially
fascinating considering that the "happy marriage" between Pitt and his then-wife
Jennifer Aniston ended within a year of this interview, and he then
coincidentally struck up a relationship with Jolie. Eight years later, the
couple is raising six children together and is engaged to be married.
On not being the touchy-feely type: "It's
not going to accomplish anything to cry. It's not going to help you to get a
hug! I'm not a hugger. People make fun of me. It's something that I have a hard
time with. If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging,
crying - all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable." — Vogue, January 2007.
Based on this tidbit, any and all hugs must have a strict time limit, lest the
Oscar winner pass out due to a lack of oxygen.
On her appearance: "I am odd-looking. I
sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet." — Unknown. We can't verify to whom
she said this, but Angelina, trust me, you look nothing like a
Muppet.
Stepping out as a picturesque Hollywood
couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended the Cinema for Peace Gala at the
Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany on Monday.
The "Mr and Mrs Smith" co-stars looked
stunning on the red carpet with Jolie in a form flattering floor-length Ralph
& Russo dress while Brad opted for the traditional black and white
tuxedo.
Earlier in the day, Ms Jolie offered up
some information about her plan to write a new piece about the conflict in
Afghanistan.
"I did write something on Afghanistan.
Nobody's seen it yet," she told and then added, "Brad hasn't seen it. It's
hidden. So I don't know how very good it is, but it's been a pleasure to
write."
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.
