She posed with author of First They Killed My Father Loung Ung as well as designer by Rithy Panh and composer Him Sophy.Later the Salt star was joined by Executive Producer, Brooklyn Academy of Music Joseph V. Melillo, President, Brooklyn Academy of Music Katy Clark, and Executive Director, Cambodian Living Arts, Phloeun Prim.In addition to Shiloh and Maddox she has Zahara, 12, Pax, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine.Earlier on Saturday they hit a screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Manhattan. The actress-director lived up to her fashionista image, donning a wintry ensemble of a textured wrap dress with a tan belt with heeled black boots.The beauty accessorized with black sunglasses with a black leather handbag with metallic buttons.

'This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.'Weinstein has been accused by a total of 84 women of sexual harassment, misconduct and abuse; his rep has said that 'any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by' the producer.

She's a movie star and a UN ambassador - but most importantly, a mom.And Angelina Jolie wore the latter hat Saturday in snowy New York City, as she brought four of her six children - Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine - to a screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Manhattan. (Her teenage sons with ex Brad Pitt, Maddox, 16, and Pax, 13, were not along for the trip to the cinema.) The 42-year-old actress-director lived up to her fashionista image, donning a wintry ensemble of a textured wrap dress with a tan belt with heeled black boots.The Maleficent beauty accessorized with black sunglasses with a black leather handbag with metallic buttons. She was impeccably made up with her dark brown locks slightly parted to the left as she walked with her quartet of kids, who were bundled up amid the frosty conditions.Zahara kept warm in an ash grey zip-up sweatshirt with moss green cargo pants and black Nike trainers, with her hair pulled back. Shiloh matched her sister, as she also wore an ash grey zip-up over a white top with brown khaki cargo pants and black sneakers, seemingly drawing the hoodie over her face as photographers approached.Knox smiled in a padded blue zip-up vest over a blue sweatshirt with brown khaki cargo pants and black boots, while his twin sister Vivienne wore a seaweed green hooded sweatshirt with patterns with camouflage pants and blue sneakers.

Temperatures were hovering below freezing in New York City on Friday night.But that apparently didn't bother Angelina Jolie, who didn't let the chilly weather dictate her outfit for the evening.The 42-year-old Maleficent star donned a stunning black strapless number for her night on the town with her kids. Of course the low-cut neck showed off her decolletage and shoulders, while the mostly form-fitting garment also emphasized her svelte hips.A pair of long black gloves added a touch of classic elegance.Her brunette locks were pushed off her forehead and back, while subtle blush, eye make-up and pale rose lipstick made the mother of six glow.While Angelina has been enjoying the single life lately, she still brought several dates with her to dinner at Cipriani in the form of four of her children.Son Pax, 14, looked every inch the dapper gentleman in a black suit and textured black and grey shirt. He even took his mother's arm at one point to ensure she kept her balance.Shiloh, aged 11, went even fancier, opting for a classic tuxedo including black bow tie. A pair of black sneakers provided a bit of contrast.Nine-year-old Knox looked quite carefree in his own black suit complete with patent leather loafers.Zahara, 12, looked to be having a wonderful night in a black top and trouser combination.The dinner may have been a bit of a celebration, as two of Angie's films, First They Killed My Father and The Breadwinner, both recently garnered Golden Globe nominations.Unfortunately those same films failed to gain any Oscar nominations.

Angelina received nods from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for First They Killed My Father, which she also directed, in the Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language category, and for The Breadwinner in the Best Motion Picture – Animated category. First They Killed My Father is about the atrocities in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge and stars Sareum Srey Moch and Phoeung Kompheak.Her movie The Breadwinner is about a young girl who lives under Taliban rule in Afghanistan who cuts off her hair to go to work so she can support her family.

Angelina Jolie Once Tried to Hire a Hitman to Kill Her

You might think that Angelina Jolie really didn’t like herself if she had to resort to hiring a hitman to kill herself. This happened quite a few years ago when she’d married Billy Bob Thornton and was still known as one of the oddities of Hollywood. She was in a dark place back then apparently and had contemplated suicide for a while, but she didn’t want the stress of such a thing to wreak havoc on her family. So she contacted a hitman and asked to take out a contract on herself. Don’t ask where she found the hitman since it’s likely that this is another secret within Hollywood that many people would like to remain on the down low. But surprisingly, or not, the hitman decided to talk her out of it and eventually Jolie came to her senses. Just when you think you’ve heard it all.You might think that Angelina Jolie really didn’t like herself if she had to resort to hiring a hitman to kill herself. This happened quite a few years ago when she’d married Billy Bob Thornton and was still known as one of the oddities of Hollywood. She was in a dark place back then apparently and had contemplated suicide for a while, but she didn’t want the stress of such a thing to wreak havoc on her family. So she contacted a hitman and asked to take out a contract on herself. Don’t ask where she found the hitman since it’s likely that this is another secret within Hollywood that many people would like to remain on the down low. But surprisingly, or not, the hitman decided to talk her out of it and eventually Jolie came to her senses.Her reasoning seems kind of sound in a way but not entirely well thought since suicide does in fact do a lot of damage to a family, but a murder can do just the same. It’s especially brutal with murder when you have to think about who did it, why haven’t they been caught yet, and of course the most important question of why. Jolie even stated that the hitman spoke very sweetly to her and convinced her to take a month to think about things and then think about it. Jolie took the month and when things started to go better for her the planned suicide became less of a thought. It doesn’t seem like many hitmen would talk themselves out of a job, but apparently they do have heart.But it took all of a month for her to figure out that she had something worth living for, which is something that doesn’t entirely gel to be honest. People that live with depression don’t just snap out of it, but a month is a fairly long process when you’re living with depression. Each day can feel like a month, and a month can feel like a year or more. But really this almost sounds like she wasn’t truly thinking things over but was instead trying to find the easy way out. Getting someone to kill you might be easier than taking your own live but the collateral damage is just as bad. I kind of wonder if she looks back on that now and wonders about what might have happened.Jolie’s stardom has kind of waxed and waned over the years depending on what kind of movie she’s starring in, what’s in the tabloids, and of course what fans want to think about her. Personally I thought she was gorgeous when I was younger and on her good days I still do. But it really seems like she got played out early on in her career, meaning that she did too much too soon and didn’t spread her roles out for a prolonged period of time that would have allowed her to pace herself.I’m not even sure if you could call ordering a hit on yourself as a cry for help or just a wordless, meaningless cry.
