ANGELINA JOLIE JUST WANTS TO BE APPRECIATED

Angelina Jolie is NOT happy that her reputation is suffering due to her prolonged and unpleasant divorce from Brad Pitt. She knows that her custody battle with Brad is making her look less sympathetic, and she feels compelled to stir up GOOD publicity for herself. When she’s not being photographed having fun with her children, she is busy promoting herself as a humanitarian. She made an appearance at a London film festival aiming to use the power of film to prevent sexual violence during conflict (in third world countries.) Makes us wonder: do these savage warriors go to the movies?

JENNA DEWAN HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER

Apparently divorcing Channing Tatum after 9 years of marriage was the right thing to do. The World of Dance host has a thriving career and a new man already. Jenna’s new guy is Shameless actor Steve Kazee and – no surprise- he loves to dance with Jenna. (Finding a guy who enjoys dancing is essential for her.) Meanwhile, Channing is keeping company with Jenna lookalike Jessie J, and he brought his beefcake Magic Mike show to the Hippodrome Casino in London.

JOHNNY DEPP WANTS TO CLEAN UP HIS IMAGE

Johnny Depp is in Switzerland promoting his new film Richard Says Goodbye (destined for VOD) and he’s not happy about the reputation his ex-wife Amber Heard has given him. Ironically, the movie has been described as “romanticizing macho male dysfunction“ and Johnny plays a disreputable professor. Depp desperately wants to clean up the image Amber Heard gave him when she accused him of alcohol abuse and a violent temper. They are both going back to court because Depp intends to prove she faked abuse allegations against him – does he really want to open that can of worms again?

BRAD PITT MUST APPRECIATE JENNIFER ANISTON MORE THAN EVER

Certainly Brad Pitt must be reflecting on the enormous difference between his two divorces. When Jennifer Aniston decided to call their marriage off, it was a character-revealing episode. There were no embarrassing accusations made against Brad, and there was no bickering over possessions or money. It was a swift and quiet legal maneuver with no negative repercussions. Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, humiliated Brad with deliberately leaked shocking allegations right away, and never stopped disputing custody and financial issues, extending the negotiations over two expensive years – so far. Through it all, Brad has never said a word about Angelina.

BEN STILLER AND CHRISTINE TAYLOR ARE BOTH HAPPIER AS FRIENDS

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor look happier now than they did most of the 17 years they were married. We get the feeling they’re both happy that they can go home solo. The couple divorced a year ago and have two kids, Olivia, 16, and Quinlin, 13. Workaholic Ben admits that he is “naturally moody.” In fact, he’s been described as “difficult to be around.” Someone who worked on Zoolander with Ben tattled that he “complained incessantly and had tantrums at the crew.” Ben and Christine met for a nice lunch in Manhattan and went their separate ways…

THE GOOD SIDE OF ANGELINA AND BRAD’S DIVORCE

There’s one person who can’t help being happy about Angelina Jolie’s split with Brad Pitt and THAT is Ray Donovan star Jon Voight. Now that Angelina has lost her best and perhaps ONLY friend (Brad) she is forced to turn to her relatives for help. Her brother James Haven moved in with her and helps coordinate things with the kids and their nannies. Now that she’s living in LA, Angelina has allowed her somewhat estranged father Jon Voight back into her life. (We’re guessing that it helps that he’s now on a hot TV show.) Recently Jon and Angie brought Vivienne for an afternoon of pottery decorating at Color Me Mine.

MELANIE BROWN’S DIVORCE: THE EMBARRASSMENT HAS JUST BEGUN

Mel B cheered herself up with a new set of super-long extensions and looks happy arriving on the set of her new movie. You’d never guess she was in the middle of what might turn out to be the most scandalous divorce in memory. Her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte (not his birth name) is a sleazy con artist with a police record and he plans to make her suffer. Already there is talk of extortion and sex tapes, a pregnant nanny, and now the old girlfriends that Stephen brutalized are threatening to tell all. Mel and Stephen were both into kinky three-way sex and there are plenty of potentially talkative third parties. Obviously Mel was blinded by sexual attraction when she agreed to marry Belafonte and later she says she was afraid to leave. This outrageous divorce is destined to make Brangelina look like kid stuff.

MEL B’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE THRILLED THAT SHE FINALLY FILED FOR DIVORCE

Melanie Brown has been estranged from her family and most friends since she wed Stephen “Belafonte” nine years ago. They don’t like him for many reasons – a number of his acquaintances offered information about Stephen and they called him a “con man.” This is the original item from Janetcharltonshollywood published in 2007:

What does Melanie Brown REALLY know about her new husband who calls himself Stephen Belafonte? If, indeed, his real name is Stephen Stansbury, the dirt just keeps piling up. Does she know about his criminal record in New Jersey, San Diego, and LA? In Beverly Hills it was assault with a deadly weapon, in Hollywood it was vandalism and assault on a roommate. Does she know how many EX-WIVES and GIRLFRIENDS have charged him with assault and battery? He’s lived in four apartments in LA and the con artist was EVICTED from each one for not paying rent. He was 86’d from Skybar for some sort of credit card “problem.” He served time in jail for trying to alter his computer police records. In 1997, he was married for three months until his wife charged him with battery. In the past he has tried to pass himself off as Dionne Warwick’s nephew and Harry Belafonte’s son. Need we say more?

Keep in mind, Melanie showed up at The X Factor with unexplained bruises recently and no wedding ring. THAT’S WHY HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE CELEBRATING!

CHRISTINA EL MOUSSA IS READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP

Christina El Moussa has made up her mind that NOTHING is going to stop her career from going forward and she intends to continue working with her estranged husband Tarek – come what may. Their HGTV series “Flip or Flop” is a big success and it’s opened a lot of doors financially for the former couple (including real estate seminars.) Behind the scenes, Tarek has had miserable health problems to deal with – thyroid cancer, testicular cancer, and back surgery. Christina had a miscarriage and two babies to care for. As the marriage dissolved, their show was in jeopardy. Both came to their senses and are determined to carry on with the series. Their split might even increase ratings! She recently stopped dating that contractor Gary Anderson and Christina is on to bigger and better things. But why she’s dressed like this on a cold winter day in New York makes one wonder…

ANDREW DICE CLAY: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

The first thing that caught our eye in this photo is Andrew Dice Clay’s companion’s adorable handbag. We are SO tired of celebrities flaunting those dead serious and absurdly expensive designer bags. It turns out the Dice man’s “companion” is his ex-wife turned girlfriend Valerie Vasquez. Clay, 59, met the makeup artist eight years ago – they got married for four years, and then got a divorce “to save their relationship.” (“Too much pressure!”) They’ve been inseparable ever since, and Dice insists “we’re made for each other,” despite the fact that Valerie is 25 years younger.
