Angelina Jolie Wearing Ring From Brad Pitt To Get Him Back?

Did Angelina Jolie wear a sentimental ring given to her by Brad Pitt at the 2017 Telluride Film Festival to get him back? That’s the claim from one particular tabloid. Gossip Cop, however, can reveal the truth.The absurd allegation comes from the latest issue of the National Enquirer, which blares in a new headline, “Aching Angie Puts Brad’s Ring On It!” In the accompanying story, the supermarket tabloid ridiculously asserts that the “desperate” actress purposely wore a ring given to her by Pitt at this year’s Telluride Film Festival to lure him back. A so-called “source” is quoted as saying, “Angie hoped Brad would see the photos [of her] and be moved by it. The ring is very special to both of them.”The Enquirer, which is no stranger to publishing inaccurate stories about the former couple, goes on to contend that Jolie wore the ring on the red carpet in an effort to send Pitt a “signal,” hoping to reignite a spark and eventually reunite with the actor. “She’s tried to raise six kids on her own, while managing her career and health. Now, she knows she can’t do it without Brad. She’s praying that this romantic symbol can bring them back together,” further purports the outlet’s questionable insider.Let the preposterous scenario sink in. Jolie wore a ring that Pitt gave her, and on the off-chance he saw paparazzi pictures of her sporting that small bauble, magically he would reverse course and take Jolie back. That’s insane.Allow Gossip Cop to be the voice of reason and to set the record straight on this wholly manufactured tale. As improbable as the claims is, we checked with a source close to the actress who tells us the outlet’s latest report is simply “nonsense.” Jolie, who attended the premiere of her new Netflix film First They Killed My Father at the 2017 Telluride Film Festival earlier this month, did not purposely wear a ring given to her by Pitt, hoping he would see the photos and be so incredibly moved to take her back. It’s all lies.As we noted above, this is hardly the first time Gossip Cop has busted the publication for seemingly fabricating bogus reports about Jolie. Interestingly, though the tabloid alleges the actress wants to reunite with Pitt, a few months ago it published a wholly fictitious article that maintained Jolie was dating a mystery man. That report had the headline of “In Love Angelina Replaces Brad!” And nine months ago, Gossip Cop corrected the same untrustworthy publication when it ran a cover story that swore up and down that Jolie was on a hunger strike and dying. Like those older debunked claims, the current one also doesn’t ring true.

This comes after Angelina was joined by her father Jon Voight at the NYC premiere for her new film on Thursday night.They were estranged for more than six and a half years, but have made amends. The 42-year-old Tomb Raider star was typically striking in a strapless grey grown, which displayed her sprawling back tattoo, as she posed on the carpet in the Big Apple - alongside her father, 78. The stunning grey dress first cinched in at her famously slender waist, before falling into soft pleats all the way to the floor.Pulling into a strapless design to leave the back open, the dress drew attention to her famously sprawling back tattoo, as well as a smaller inking on her arm, as she posed effortlessly for cameras. She pulled her brunette locks into a loose half-up do, and elegantly tied her look together with glittering diamond earrings and matching necklace.Of course the Oscar-winner's make-up was perfectly applied, and accentuated her naturally striking features with a smokey eye and bright crimson lipstick.Promoting a film she both directed and co-wrote, Angelina was also supported by her father Jon at the event - who lookeddapper in a classic midnight blue suit.Keeping co-ordinated, he layered a light blue shirt and carbon crosshatch tie underneath, but casually finished his look with matching navy trainers. Proving the event to be a family affair however, Angelina also brought all six of her children to the event. While Angelina obviously turned heads thanks to her grey backless gown, she made sure to get several photos with her two eldest children, Maddox, 16 and Pax, 13, as they also worked on the movie.Maddox, who was actually born in Cambodia, was invited by his mother to participate as an executive producer, and shined on the red carpet in a black suit paired with a simple white t-shirt.Pax served as the set photographer, and looked equally dapper in a black on black ensemble.Meanwhile Zahara, 12, looked to be enjoying herself in a black lace top and black trouser combination, while Shiloh, 11, opted for a grey suit minus a tie.Finally, twins Knox and Vivienne, aged nine, also looked to be having fun, with Knox donning a classic black suit and his sister choosing a black vest and trouser look.All of the children also wore a yellow flower somewhere on their person, while their mother placed hers in her hair.While the exact meaning of the flowers is not known, E!

The premiere of the Netflix film comes after Angelina met with United Nations Secretary General António Guterres at the Manhattan headquarters on Thursday.The Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees easily defied her 41 years in a white silk blouse, brown pencil skirt, and nude pumps selected by stylist Jen Rade.Rather than taking vacuous selfies or developing clothing lines, Angelina has made over 60 trips to the field as part of her work with the do-gooding intergovernmental organization.
