Billy Bob Thornton is getting candid about his highly-publicized marriage to Angelina Jolie.“I look at that time as a great time,” the Goliath star, 62, said during the latest HFPA in Conversation podcast episode of Jolie, 43, whom he was married to from 2000 to 2003.“Angie is still a friend of mine and she’s a great person and she’s done so much,” he added. “She makes movies that are important to her whether they succeed or fail, she still does what she believes in and I’ll always respect her for that.”The actor also spoke about the media coverage of the relationship. “A lot of the things they said about us at the time were exaggerated,” he explained, adding, “It wasn’t as crazy as people wrote about it.” Specifically, he addressed the coverage surrounding the necklaces he and Jolie wore at the time, which contained vials of each other’s blood.“The necklaces were a very simple thing, ‘Hey let’s poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there and when we’re away from each other we’ll wear the necklace,’ ” he said. “It was that easy. But by the time it came out in the press it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks.” As for why they split, Thornton said, “We just had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle,” he said with a laugh. “So that’s really, that’s the only reason we’re probably not still together, maybe. There was a different path in life we wanted to take.”In 2016, during Jolie’s high-profile split from Brad Pitt, Thornton also spoke about his marriage to Jolie.“I never felt good enough for her,” he shared, adding that despite his many years in Hollywood, he’s “real uncomfortable around rich and important people.”And he wasn’t looking to change his ways.“I like how I am,” he said.Thornton is now married Connie Angland, his long-time partner and mother to his 13-year-old daughter Bella.

Did Angelina Jolie Adopt More Kids?

Angelina Jolie has not adopted more kids, despite a report a year ago that falsely claimed she was adding more children to her family of six. Gossip Cop busted the story 365 days ago. Now the passage of time has shown our reporting was correct.On June 9, 2017, we called out the National Enquirer for wrongly claiming Jolie was giving estranged husband Brad Pitt the “ultimate brush-off” by “expanding her brood without him.” The narrative was concocted after the Oscar winner and some of her kids were seen with “several unidentified children of Asian descent” at the La Brea Tar Pits. The outing led the supermarket tabloid to speculate that she planned to “grow her family without Brad.”“Angie’s moving on with her life, and she’s encouraging the kids to do the same,” a so-called “insider” was quoted as saying. But the magazine had no proof that Jolie was indeed adopting again, and it only jumped to that conclusion, somewhat offensively, because she was seen with “children of Asian descent.” This was an inaccurate assumption.
As Gossip Cop pointed out back then, and as widely reported by reputable media outlets, the children with Jolie were daughter Shiloh’s friends from Cambodia, who came to America to help her celebrate her 11th birthday. The tween wanted to show her pals different aspects of American life, which included not just the trip to the La Brea Tar Pits, but also a visit to Disneyland. This wasn’t a permanent move or a sign that they were officially joining the Jolie family. It was simply a U.S. vacation.Significantly, Jolie hasn’t been seen with the group of Cambodian kids since then, which is evidence that she didn’t adopt them. In the last 365 days, she hasn’t adopted any other children, either. The star is still just a mom to three girls and three boys, and all six kids are currently with Jolie as she films Maleficent 2 in London. And while it’s certainly possible she could decide to add to their family in the future, particularly once her divorce from Pitt is finalized, it’s abundantly clear the National Enquirer was entirely wrong when it claimed Jolie was adopting a year ago.Of course, that’s not the only misinformation the tabloid has spread about the actress over the last year. This past September, for example, the magazine laughably claimed Jolie was wearing a special ring in hopes of getting Pitt’s attention and winning him back, even though she was the one who filed for divorce in the first place. As we were told then, the story was “nonsense,” and that’s still the case today. Neither Pitt nor Jolie has any interest in reconciling, which is why they’re still negotiating a divorce settlement. It’s obvious the outlet’s reporting doesn’t reconcile with the facts.

JAMES BOND 25’s villain is most likely to be Helena Bonham Carter, over Angelina Jolie, according to an insider on Daniel Craig’s final 007 movie.It’s happening” Danny Boyle is directing Craig’s last James Bond movie.However not much is known about the project other than its release date in October 2019 and filming start date in December of this year.Nevertheless at some point a cast will be announced at the traditional press conference with producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.And no doubt the villain of Bond 25 will finally be revealed.Over the last 55 years of Bond movies the main villains have all been men, except for Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love and arguably Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough.But now it looks like Bond 25’s villain will most likely be a woman, according to an insider speaking with The Mirror.The source said that Bonham Carter, 52, is at the top of the Bond producers’ wish list.The insider said: “Everyone thinks Angelina Jolie is going to get the part but bosses want Helena more.“At the moment they are just finalising the cast.”Jolie, 42, is also a rumoured contender following an alleged casting leak in May.The claim came from a Reddit user who said: “I work in the film industry and know people tangentially connected to the world of Bond.” They alleged: “I’ve heard that Boyle has committed to a script and casting is underway. The main villain has been written with Angelina Jolie in mind. “I’ve heard this name for a very long while.

Brad Pitt Has NOT Landed “Victory” In Custody Battle With Angelina Jolie, Despite Report

Brad Pitt has not landed a “victory” in his custody battle with Angelina Jolie, despite a new report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this tabloid claim. Much of the article’s contentions are 100 percent wrong.According to In Touch, Pitt can “claim a major victory” in his custody negotiations with Jolie. The magazine goes on to say that “after months of biding his time and biting his tongue,” the actor’s patience has finally “paid off.” A so-called “family friend” is then quoted as saying, “Brad’s finally got the kids, and he’s overjoyed.” The supposed insider further maintains, “To Brad’s delight, Angelina has decided to let the majority of the children, who have summer camps and a slew of other activities in the works, stay in LA with their father while she’s in Britain shooting Maleficent 2.” The ill-informed source alleges that Pitt became “livid” after learning their six children would remain in London while Jolie shot the Disney sequel, so “she promised Brad that he could spend longer periods of time with the kids over the summer.” The purported “friend” adds, in highly unnatural language, that Pitt is fixing up the house because “he gets such enjoyment out of seeing them cut loose at their amusement park–like former home.” The questionable source notes that the actor is busy this summer filming the Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon a Time in Los Angeles “so that he can be home most nights” with the children. “Brad has an assortment of day and overnight trips planned with the kids over the summer,” adds the “friend.”
Are we supposed to believe that Pitt wanted custody of his kids this summer so that they could spend time at their “former home” with him on “most nights” and not during the day? It should be noted, film productions aren’t 9 to 5 gigs. They often shoot at night. And while the tabloid throws in that there will be “an assortment of day and overnight trips,” it offers no examples of what they might be.But these are the least of the magazine’s problems. The main issue, Gossip Cop is assured by a source so close to the situation, is that it’s basically the complete opposite. Jolie has the kids for the summer in London while she shoots Maleficent 2. We’re told there’s “potentially one exception” in which the kids will spend some “brief time in Los Angeles” with Pitt, but they’ll be with Jolie for the most part.Also, People was correct when it reported that Jolie’s six kids will be with her on the Maleficent 2 set, and that they’ll be “continuing their schoolwork in a designated trailer” while she’s shooting. When she’s not filming, the children and their mom will be together, Gossip Cop is told.It goes without saying, but In Touch clearly doesn’t have reliable Pitt or Jolie sources. Just earlier this month, Gossip Cop busted the tabloid when it reported that Jolie was “furious” that Pitt and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston were having a baby. As we noted at the time, Aniston and Pitt have not seen each other in a long time, making having a child together physically impossible. Additionally, a rep for Pitt called the magazine’s story “ridiculous,” while Aniston’s spokesperson said the claim was “fabricated” and “absurd.” Also, it’s the same magazine that ran a story more than a year ago about Jolie getting married to an unnamed British philanthropist. A good 400-plus days have passed and time has proven once again that the tabloid’s alleged Jolie sources know very little, if anything, about her. Naturally, this latest article makes no mention of the mystery man or Pitt and Aniston’s impending arrival. That’s because it’s more lies.
