Be careful what you write about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. At least, that's what celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is learning the hard way.Hilton took to Instagram on Sunday to say he was contacted by Jolie's lawyers, Bert Fields and Priya Sapori, over coverage of the Brangelina divorce.Radar Online reported Fields and Sapori asked Hilton to modify one of his articles on Jolie. Hilton denied their request. In an email back to Jolie's lawyers, Hilton wrote that he has "ALWAYS been a huge fan and SUPPORTER of hers." (His emphasis, not ours.)Hilton went on to express his frustration and even demand an apology, adding that he was "not changing anything." He then ended the letter on a vulgar note."In other news, #AngelinaJolie's lawyers at Greenberg Glusker have just threatened to sue me for my coverage of her split from #BradPitt," Hilton wrote on Instagram. "ME!! I have always been one of Angelina Jolie's loudest and strongest supporters and defenders!!!!! This was my email back to Angelina's lawyers, #BertFields and #PriyaSapori. Glad I'm not running for president!!" You can read the message in full below via Instagram. The last line is a bit NSFW.

In the wake of their shocking split, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fight over the future of their six kids. Subscribe now for exclusive new details on the turmoil they hid for years, only in PEOPLE.Filming By the Sea wasn’t quite the “unconventional honeymoon” Brad Pitt andAngelina Jolie hoped for.Just after they wed in 2014, Jolie, 41, and Pitt, 52, jetted off to the Mediterranean nation of Malta with their six children to begin filming the ’70s drama about a troubled married couple, directed and written by Jolie.In real life, the pair’s relationship already appeared to be rocky. Those on the set of the movie tell PEOPLE that Jolie and Pitt seemed distant and unhappy.“They hardly spoke when they were together,” a set source tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, adding that they often took separate business trips on the weekends.Jolie and Pitt rented three villas for themselves, the kids and eight nannies, the source says. Due to their celebrity status, the family lived mostly in isolation while filming. The kids played in the pool, but “they couldn’t go anywhere on the island because of who they are,” says the source. Their oldest son, Maddox, 15, pitched in as a production assistant and was “a really nice guy,” the source says.When they weren’t filming, Jolie and Pitt “were quite distant” with each other, adds the source.During his off-time, a downbeat Pitt would go to a local bar for a light beer, never more than two.“He would be very quiet and just keep to himself,” says an onlooker. “Angelina was never with him.” Says the set source: “It was not a honeymoon.”

All in the family. While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt work out the terms of their divorce, Jolie’s older brother, James Haven, is currently playing manny to the couple’s six children at their temporary home in Malibu, a source tells Us Weekly.“He took on a more active daily role in June,” the source explains. “The kids call him ‘Uncle James.’” Haven, 43, is perhaps best remembered for sharing an infamous kiss with Jolie, 41, on the Oscars red carpet in 2000, when his younger sister, in full goth mode, won the Academy Award for best supporting actress (for Girl, Interrupted) and said, “I’m so in love with my brother right now” at the podium. The shocking moment caused fans to make accusations of incest and criticize the siblings’ too-close-for-comfort relationship.But, the source tells Us, there’s at least one important person who isn’t bothered by the brother-sister duo’s dynamic.“Brad thinks highly of James,” the source adds. “He’s always been incredible to the kids and is welcome in his home.” Jolie and Haven share parents Jon Voight and the late Marcheline Bertrand.As Us previously reported, the Maleficent actress set up an $8.5 million rental house in Malibu for herself and her ex’s six kids — Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8 — prior to filing for divorce from Pitt on Monday, September 19.resently, the couple have reached a parenting plan agreement wherein Jolie has temporary physical custody of the children, though the pair retain shared legal custody.“They have six kids and want things to be as uninterrupted as possible,” a second insider tells Us. “It didn’t make sense, all of a sudden, for the kids to have two different households. You don’t just immediately create a new world for those children.”Pitt is currently under investigation by the FBI and the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services after drinking and allegedly getting physical with one of the children while the family was aboard a private jet on September 14.The Allied star, 52, “will cooperate in any way he can to see the kids,” a pal of the star tells Us. “By agreeing to this, he can see them, which is what he wanted.”

She has also asked that Pitt be granted visitation rights.In a statement, the actress’ attorney said, “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”Further, Pitt released his own statement, saying, “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids.”Voight, who was estranged from Jolie for several years, told Inside Edition he didn’t know what caused the split.Jolie is Voight’s daughter with his late ex Marcheline Bertrand, with whom he also shares a son, James Haven. He previously told Cigar Aficionado he loves to dote on Pitt and Jolie’s kids, saying last fall, “I’m crazy about her and my grandchildren.”Voight told Inside Edition he heard the news about the split from Haven, asserting, “I am concerned for Angie and the children, and hopefully I will be seeing them very soon.” Pitt and Jolie were married in 2014, after nearly a decade together.

Seventh annual Razzle Dazzle luncheon raised record-breaking $400,000 thanks to celebrity auction items.azzle Dazzle luncheon chairs Hallie Vanderhider and Kristina Somerville were uncharacteristically secretive about the Memorial Hermann Foundation fundraiser's two live auction items.Vanderhider modeled earrings designed by her guest, celebrity jeweler Robert Procop, throughout the champagne reception and soiree. Reportedly, the pair met only a few months ago. During that brief period, Procop agreed to donate two pairs of earrings for Wednesday's soiree benefiting the Bobetta C. Lindig Breast Care Center. One of those sets comes directly from the personal vault of a very well-known breast cancer survivor: Angelina Jolie."Angelina, my client, has that unfortunate (BRCA1) gene," Procop said onstage of the Oscar winner and humanitarian's much-publicized preventive double mastectomy. He and Jolie have collaborated together on several jewelry collections and subsequently donated the proceeds to all-girl schools in conflict zones. "When we ask those little girls what they want to be when they grow up, they all say doctors."A tense round of bidding ensued over the 37.38-carat tourmalated quartz square bezel set in 18-carat rose gold earrings though Susan Sarofim emerged victorious for a cool $25,000. Vanderhider's dream of owning some Procop bling came true after she snagged the other pair of moonstone, diamond, and sapphire baubles for $12,000.
The luncheon, which raised $300,000 before some 560 attendees arrived at the Westin Memorial City, garnered a record-breaking $400,000 by afternoon's end.Expectant mother and mistress of ceremonies Chita Craft reminded the audience that the soiree has raised more than $1.6 million since its inception in 2010."We chose the theme '3D Pink' to highlight the technology," Somerville explained. Her mother, also in attendance, recently battled breast cancer.She has seven children, Somerville says, we named her tumor Voldemort.Honorees Mary Ann McKeithan and Mayor Pro-Tem Ellen R. Cohen, both breast cancer survivors, shared their experiences, too.McKeithan became tearful as she acknowledged her husband, David McKeithan, who took her to lunch after every radiation treatment."Trust me, we've eaten everywhere," she said during her remarks. "But it gave me something to look forward to."Guest speaker and "New York Times" best-selling author Elin Hildebrand raised the crowd's spirits by putting a humorous spin on her 2014 breast cancer diagnosis."Before, I was half of an A-cup," she quipped. "My doctor told me, 'They don't make implants as small as you are, so you're going to get bigger breasts."Hildebrand received implants after successful treatment on the four tumors in her right breast and one in the left. Shortly after, she contracted a MRSA infection and had to replace one."I'm probably the only person you know who lost three breasts last year," she joked in closing.
