ANGELINA JOLIE REPURPOSES AND RECYCLES IN HER NEW STORE

Angelina Jolie and her son Pax were seen visiting her new store at 57 Great Jones Street in NYC. Rent is high (asking price $60,000 per month) because that graffiti covered building was once the art studio that Andy Warhol rented to Jean-Michel Basquiat. Angelina opened her fashion studio called Atelier Jolie featuring deadstock, vintage clothing and fabrics, and basics ready for instant alterations and re-design. Staffers are mostly students from Parsons School of Design. Angelina admits she might lose money on this fashion venture…

ANGELINA JOLIE IS IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION

When it comes to paparazzi, Angelina Jolie has the situation totally under control. It’s no coincidence that whenever she leaves home she looks immaculate. (We LOVE that she’s not wearing black today) It’s also no coincidence that she is always accompanied by one or all of her children and looking like a devoted mom. It’s obvious that she has a special paparazzi friend (maybe one in New York and one in LA) that she notifies when she’s going somewhere and in the mood to have flattering pics taken. The photographer is HAPPY to have exclusive photos of her and she’s always smiling. She KNOWS it’s important to be visible for her career and CHOOSES to call the shots. You won’t see her complaining about paparazzi or ducking. Of course, she could also be sending a message to her ex Brad Pitt, reinforcing that she and the kids are living happily ever after – without him.

BILLY BOB THORNTON: YOUR PANTS ARE FALLING DOWN!

Little did we know…that Angelina’s Jolie’s ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton is in the middle of a summer tour with his band The Boxmasters – it will finish up in Europe in the fall. He always did prefer making music with his electric rockabilly/blues band to making movies. (One of the reasons why Angelina left him) But what’s with the PANTS? Doesn’t that falling down pants look belong to RAPPERS? We couldn’t resist poking fun at his style…

WHAT DID BRAD PITT LEARN FROM JOHNNY DEPP?

We’ve always been Team Brad when discussing the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt divorce. As of now, they are both legally single, but not yet divorced- in fact, the divorce has gone on 3 times as long as their two year marriage! It may never end. They keep dragging each other into court for one thing or another- custody of the fast-growing kids, the French winery etc. Angelina is constantly -and deliberately- photographed on outings with each child, appearing to be a devoted mother, as she insists that Brad abused her and his children. We were startled to learn that Brad has the SAME powerful PR team used by Johnny Depp to save HIS reputation. Granted, we appreciate that Brad has never said a negative word about Angelina, but he might have something to hide if he hired those PR people…

SHILOH JOLIE-PITT IS A FEMALE VERSION OF HER DAD

Can’t help but wonder what Brad Pitt thinks about the metamorphosis of his daughter Shiloh. When he and Angelina were together, they were very accepting of Shiloh’s desire to wear boys clothing and they even called her by a boys name when she insisted. During the past year, Shiloh turned 15, got the braces off her teeth, and started growing out her short boyish haircut. But she was NEVER seen in a dress. UNTIL, that is, Angelina started promoting her new film Eternals on red carpets everywhere. Shiloh has been by her side, dressing up a little more each time, and shyly enjoying the attention. She looks just like her heartthrob dad and has gradually started experimenting with makeup and hairstyles. With her looks, she could easily become a model or actress…

NEWSFLASH! SHILOH IS WEARING A DRESS!

Angelina Jolie brought five of her six kids to the premier of The Externals at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood and their are TWO things of special interest in this photo: First of all, Angelina has some sort of gold metal jewelry that goes from upper lip to chin. Is it attached to her skin? A new piercing? Don’t know. What we DO know is that 15 year old Shiloh is looking a whole lot more feminine. Yes, that’s boyish Shiloh in the beige abstract dress and white flats, looking pretty. Her longer hair is up in a twist and she has just a LITTLE makeup on! This is a BIG step for a “tomboy” who wore boys clothes and wanted a boy’s name just a few years ago…

ANGELINA JOLIE WANTS KIDS TO KNOW THEY’RE BEING CHEATED

Angelina Jolie slipped out the backdoor of the Skylight bookstore (located not far from her home) after being mobbed by hundreds of eager fans. She has cowritten a book with a civil rights lawyer aimed at young people called Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth. Angelina is an advocate for children around the world and wants them to know they have rights, but will this help girls in Afghanistan get educated? Certainly Angelina has good intentions and her celebrity will help sell some copies of the book, but we can’t figure out how kids living in countries with awful political situations can change things… we’ll just have to read the book.

ANGELINA JOLIE AND SHILOH BUSTED BY PAPARAZZI IN VENICE

Angelina Jolie looks just a little bit annoyed at the paparazzi who spotted her and her daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt arriving in Venice while on vacation. Shiloh, 15, is still dressing like a boy but she now has her long hair pulled up in a bun, and she’s about the same height as her mother. Another photo of Shiloh in Venice found her with her mask off, and she’s quite beautiful…

BRAD PITT: WHICH KIDS DON’T WANT HIM AROUND?

Brad Pitt HAS to be wondering which of his six children dislike him enough to testify AGAINST him in his and Angelina’s custody court battle. Angelina is furious because the judge recently gave Brad shared custody of the kids. Court papers show that Angelina said THREE of the children were ready to testify AGAINST their father, but the judge didn’t allow it. We already know Maddox, 19, wants nothing to do with Brad (he was with Angelina long before Brad came along.) Pax is 17 and would probably side with Maddox- but who is the 3rd angry child? Zahara? (we remember Brad shopping with her to find a doll that looked like her) Shiloh? She and the twins Knox and Vivienne look a LOT like their dad. Brad just wants time with his kids so he can win them back. SOME will be more difficult than others…

BRAD PITT IS IN DIVORCE HELL

Wow. Angelina Jolie must REALLY despise Brad Pitt. She filed for divorce in 2016 and she has dragged him back into court numerous times- mostly to settle custody issues -so the divorce is still happening. Brad was just given joint custody of the kids, but Angelina plans to object and keep the court fight going strong. Is Brad paying for BOTH their expensive legal teams during this process? It’s sickening to imagine how much this SIX YEAR legal battle is costing! Brad has also put his personal life on hold – note that he has been careful NOT to be seen with any other women. He doesn’t want to agitate Angelina any more than she already is. Brad must look back at his simple and civilized divorce from Jennifer Aniston quite fondly these days…
