Hollywood actor Jon Voight has hailed Donald Trump as a 'visionary' as he voiced support for the billionaire's bid to become the next US president.The Oscar-winner said Mr Trump was a 'wonderful character' and he was not aware his daughter, Angelina Jolie Pitt, had raised concerns about the Republican candidate's remarks about Muslims earlier this year.Voight, 77, told the Press Association: '(Mr Trump's) outside the system and he's an interesting character, he's a real character, but he's a wonderful character.'Look at what he's produced in terms of the extraordinary buildings that he has helped design, putting together these teams of people to do this extraordinary stuff.'He's a visionary. The children that he's raised give you an example of his moral character and his loving kindness. He's a loving man.'He's a great guy and he's just the perfect guy to come from outside the system to do a lot of the work that needs to be done.' Speaking at the premiere of Ben Hur in Los Angeles, Voight said he had not 'heard anything from Angie' after he was asked about his daughter's criticism of Mr Trump's call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US.The actress told an audience in London in May: 'To me, America is built on people from around the world coming together for freedoms, especially freedom of religion. So it's hard to hear this is coming from someone who is pressing to be an American president.' Voight said: 'I haven't heard anything from Angie so I don't know what she has said but the concerns that we have now in terms of security, we have to have those concerns. Unfortunately we have to have them at this time.'I think people all over the world are coming to an understanding of that. We can't be naive. We're talking about human life here.'Voight, who won a Best Actor Oscar in 1979 for Coming Home, first endorsed Mr Trump in March, calling the entrepreneur 'funny, playful' and 'honest'.

Angelina Jolie bought a touch of Hollywood glamour to a LA mall on Sunday.The Maleficent star looked heaven sent as she was spotted in a Westfield shopping centre wearing a billowing white ensemble. She was joined by two of her six children, 12-year-old Pax and 11-year-old Zahara.The Unbroken director draped a cream shawl about her white dress such that it almost resembled a caftan. Nude ankle-strap flats accentuated the look.The 41-year-old pulled her hair into a flowing ponytail, accessorising her outfit with large black aviator sunglasses and a fard poudre Yves Saint Laurent Sac de Jour tote.In February, the Girl, Interrupted star and her husband Brad Pitt began renting a £14,700-a-month pad in Surrey. The sprawling eight-bedroom property was meant to house the family for only six months, whilst the 51-year-old filmed the sequel to World War Z.Yet in the intervening time, rumours abounded that Jolie was mulling the possibility of settling permanently in Britain to focus on politics. Whether those plans are still in the offing, or have been scuttled, remains uncomfirmed.Pax and Zahara are a third of the Lara Croft: Tomb Rader actress' progeny. Though Pax is older, Zahara had been adopted earlier when Jolie plucked her from Addis Ababa during her infancy in 2005. By the following year, Pitt obtained joint legal custody of Zahara, as well as Jolie's previously adopted son Maddox. After the first biological Jolie-Pitt child, Shiloh, was born in 2006, the Changeling actress developed a yen for another adoption.In 2007, she took in the then three-year-old Pax from Ho Chi Minh City. On paper, she underwent the process solo, Vietnamese law not permitting her and the Inglourious Basterds star to adopt out of wedlock.In 2008, Jolie gave birth to her and the 51-year-old's biological twins, Knox and Vivienne, in Nice.Four years later, having amassed a total of six children, the Mr & Mrs Smith co-stars married in the chapel of their Château Miraval in the south of France.

Angelina Jolie, Amal Clooney Feud Claim NOT True

Angelina Jolie and Amal Clooney are NOT feuding, despite a made-up webloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We’re told it’s “not true.” As Gossip Cop reported, a false report emerged earlier this month claiming Jolie would be teaching at Georgetown University as a visiting professor. Celeb Dirty Laundry is now making the baseless claim that the actress planted the inaccurate story herself in an effort to upstage George Clooney’s wife, Amal, because she’s supposedly jealous of the human rights lawyer’s accomplishments.Without a single source to back up its bogus theory, the site says Jolie is envious about Amal’s job last year teaching a semester of International Human Rights Law at Columbia University, and alleges the actress is now trying to “steal the spotlight” by “planting rumors for the press to feed on.” First of all, Jolie already has the prestigious honor of serving as a visiting professor at the London School of Economics in the fall, so there’s no reason the actress would need to concoct another teaching gig.Regardless of the outlet’s story making little sense, Gossip Cop still checked in with a source close to the situation, who exclusively tells us Jolie didn’t “plant” the inaccurate Georgetown report, nor are she and Amal in any sort of feud. We’re assured the webloid’s entire tale is simply “not true.” In fact, Gossip Cop has corrected several previous tabloid stories alleging a nonexistent feud between the two women, seemingly just because their husbands Brad Pitt and George Clooney are close friends. There’s still no tension between Jolie and Amal, despite Celeb Dirty Laundry trying to create a ridiculously absurd new angle.

Georgetown University students in a tizzy over the news of your newest professor, we’re here to disappoint you. Angelina Jolie will not be a visiting professor at the Washington, D.C. school, a spokeswoman for the university said Saturday.The rumor, which was originally reported by Us Weekly, stems from the (true) announcement that Jolie will be a visiting professor at the London School of Economics this fall. She will deliver guest lectures to students of the school’s one-year master’s degree program on “Women, Peace and Security.”That program is a “sister program” with the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, spokeswoman Rachel Pugh said, but “there are no current plans for Angelina Jolie to teach at Georgetown.” And here we thought Brad Pitt was going to become a regular at Baked & Wired. Perhaps the school could hold a screening of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” for the students instead?
