Kristen Stewart never replaced Angelina Jolie in a movie, despite a report a year ago that wrongly said the younger star would take the Oscar winner’s part in the Bride Of Frankenstein. As Gossip Cop explained then, Jolie was still in talks for the role, while there had been no discussions about bringing Stewart on board. Now 12 months have gone by, and Stewart still hasn’t signed on to the film.On June 22, 2017, Gossip Cop called out the National Enquirer for falsely claiming Universal Pictures no longer wanted Jolie to star in the Bride Of Frankenstein and was instead pursuing Stewart to play the title character. Jolie’s supposed demands were said to be getting in the way of the project. In unnatural language filled with scary movie puns, a so-called “snitch” alleged Jolie was “endlessly creating monster delays,” which indicated to executives that she “obviously wasn’t dying for the part.”“Execs suddenly rebelled at her witchiness, so now they’re bloodthirsty to sign young Kristen to flap her sexy cape,” alleged the tabloid’s insider in what was clearly a manufactured quote. It was further claimed in another suspiciously-worded statement that producers were “mooning about making millions from” Stewart’s “panting Twilight vampire fan freaks.” Though it was known that the film was slated to hit theaters in 2019, the magazine’s story was lacking other key information, such as when production would start, or how Javier Bardem, who was also in talks to be in the movie, felt about the casting switch.
And when Gossip Cop investigated, we learned from a source close to the production that Jolie was still the frontrunner and remained in negotiations for the lead role. As for the contention that executives were “woo-wooing” Stewart to replace her, our contact said her named hadn’t been mentioned as Jolie substitute at all. Now 365 days have passed, and it’s clear our reporting was correct: Stewart never replaced Jolie in the Bride Of Frankenstein.In fact, the project still hasn’t even gotten off the ground. Last October, after director Bill Condon started pre-production for a February 2018 shoot, Bride Of Frankenstein was postponed for further development. At that point, Jolie and Bardem still hadn’t officially signed on to the movie, though Deadline reported both remained interested and were going to see what would happen with the retooling. To date, though, there hasn’t been any further progress. The film was expected to be part of Universal’s “Dark Universe,” but no official plans have been announced for additional films following the lackluster performance of The Mummy.Meanwhile, Jolie started filming Maleficent 2 in late May and production is ongoing. As for Stewart, in March she was cast as real-life actress Jean Seberg in the political thriller Against All Enemies, which is filming this summer. In the last year no legitimate outlet ever linked her to Bride Of Frankenstein, further proving just how bogus the National Enquirer story was.

The custody battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is on the verge of getting ugly, and an inside source says their six kids are getting caught in the middle.“The kids are being used as pawns,” said the source.The latest spat, according to the Daily Mail, revolves around the former couple’s 12-year-old daughter Shiloh and 9-year-old son Knox. Jolie wanted them to appear on the “Maleficent” sequel, which she is currently filming in London. Vivienne, Knox’s twin sister, appeared in the 2014 original Disney movie.But Pitt has shut down the latest cameo idea.“He refuses to sign off her plan to include Shiloh and Knox in ‘Maleficent 2,'” the source said.A family court judge recently sided with Pitt and told Jolie to allow him more visitation rights with their children or risk losing primary custody of their six children, which also includes Maddox, 16; Pax, 14; and Zahara, 13. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.The judge ruled that Maddox is old enough to decide how much time he wants to spend with his father. As for their other five kids, the judge determined they could be harmed by “not having a relationship with their father.” Pitt spent Father’s Day in London with the children.According to Us Weekly, Pitt will “do anything to see his kids and have them in his life,” and that he is upset with Jolie for being “controlling of him through their children.”

A day after walking bombed out streets of war-torn Mosul, Angelina Jolie toured a refugee camp holding 33,000 refugees as a result of seven-year conflict in Syria.The Hollywood star called the scene of destruction in Iraq as 'the worst' she's ever seen during her 17-year humanitarian work with United Nations.'This is the worst devastation I have seen in all my years working with UNHCR. People here have lost everything,' Jolie said in a statement.She also highlighted a lack of medical aid for inhabitants of the Domiz camp, a site she has visited three times in the past six years.
'They are destitute. They have no medicine for their children, and many have no running water or basic services.' 'I hope there will be a continued commitment to rebuilding and stabilising the whole of the city,' she said.'I call on the international community not to forget Mosul.' The actress spent the morning visiting families in the Domiz, a UN official said.Her statement comes a day after she was greeted by fans in parts of Mosul where many of the buildings had been reduced to rubble.Normality has returned to parts of the northern Iraqi city as it rebuilds, but getting displaced residents back home has been slow. Islamic Satte militants had occupied Mosul for three years and turned it into a stronghold of a 'caliphate' in a campaign that saw 900,000 residents flee.Two years after it was retaken from ISIS, more than 70 per cent of the city remains damaged or destroyed, according to the provincial council.In 2017, a Kurdish intelligence chief told the Independent that some 40,000 lives had been claimed in a devastating battle to retake Mosul from ISIS.Residents of the besieged city were killed by Iraqi ground forces attempting to force out militants - while airstrikes razed buildings with hundreds of souls inside according to Kurdish intelligence services. Jolie has worked for UN High Commissioner for Refugees since 2001, visiting uprooted civilians from Iraq to Cambodia and Kenya. This is her fifth visit to Iraq.

Angelina Jolie visits Mosul: A-lister meets families in city where up to 40,000 civilians died in bloody battle with ISIS

Oscar winning actress Angelina Jolie has traded the bright lights of LA for war torn Mosul to meet with the victims of Iraq's recent bloody conflicts which have claimed the lives of thousands and displaced millions of innocent people.The Hollywood star, known for her impressive humanitarian credentials, is a United Nations special envoy and met up with starstruck youngsters and parents as part of her role.Victims of the bloody battles to retake the Iraqi city from ISIS flocked to meet the megastar who flashed her trademark megawatt smile at adoring children. In a city condemned by gunfire and shelling, the enormity of the rebuild cannot be under-estimated. Two years after it was retaken from ISIS, more than 70 per cent of the city remains damaged or destroyed, according to the provincial council.In 2017, a Kurdish intelligence chief told the Independent that some 40,000 lives had been claimed in a devastating battle to retake Mosul from ISIS.
Residents of the besieged city were killed by Iraqi ground forces attempting to force out militants - while airstrikes razed buildings with hundreds of souls inside according to Kurdish intelligence services.A senior minister in Bagdad said that many bodies 'are still buried under the rubble' and that the 'level of human suffering is immense.''Kurdish intelligence believes that over 40,000 civilians have been killed as a result of massive firepower used against them, especially by the federal police, air strikes and Isis itself,' Mr Zebari added.Nearly 8,300 homes - almost a third of the houses in the city - were destroyed or suffered major damage, according to UN Habitat. All five of Ramadi's bridges over the Euphrates River were damaged; only three are currently under repair. Three-quarters of the schools remain out of commission. But funding is far lower than what Iraq says it needs. So far, stabilization has received some $392 million in contributions. The United States has given the lion's share, some $115 million. Germany is the second biggest donor at $64 million. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have also contributed, but no other Gulf nations are among the list of donors.Overall, Washington has contributed $265 million to reconstruction since 2014, on top of $1.7 billion in humanitarian assistance in Iraq. But it is a fraction of the $14.3 billion that the U.S. spent in fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. But Douglas Silliman, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, blamed the destruction of Iraqi cities squarely on IS fighters.'Had they not been here, had they not conducted a completely brutal and inhumane campaign against the Iraqi people, this destruction would not have happened,' he said.
