Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s $21,000/Month London Mansion Is an Inspiration to All Business Travelers

It’s a pretty nice place to stay while you work.If you were going to be in London, England, for a few months for work, you’d probably, what, settle for whatever corporate apartment they found for you out by the airport or near the office? Because that’s just the way things have to be, right? Wrong! You don’t have to stay in some drab condo or business suite hotel for months on end! You can rent a huge mansion with a tennis court, multiple swimming pools, and a movie theater. That’s what Brad Pitt is doing, so why can’t you? Pitt, who is filming Netflix’s Stanley McChrystal movie War Machine in London for six months, is staying in a $21,000-per-month mansion in Surrey, where he will live with his wife, Angelina Jolie, and their many children. Us Weekly gives us some details about the home, most intriguingly that the mansion is “just a 35-minute boat ride from George and Amal Clooney’s nine-bedroom home.” Which is interesting, don’t you think? Does that imply that there will be many boating trips between the two mansions? Is there a dedicated ferry for that, or does Brad Pitt now have to buy a boat big enough to transport himself and his family to and from the Clooneys’ house? Is Brad Pitt going to become a boatsman? Will Angelina Jolie write a sequel called By the River?
Who knows. And who knows what it’s like when those two couples hang out, three of them talking about movies and then one of them being like, “Oh, that reminds me of when I spoke to members of Congress about the human-rights crisis in the Maldives,” and then there’s a pause and someone says, “Did you say Maleficent?,” and then the other one says, “No, Maldives.” That must be interesting!But anyway, we were talking about you. About your plans for your long work stay somewhere. Does this news, of Brad Pitt’s eight-bedroom mansion with its spa and billiards room, help encourage you to fight for your own comfortable accommodations? I hope it does. Because with a little ingenuity and tens of thousands of dollars, you, too, could be spending your business trip in style. Chances are you won’t find a place that has regular boat service to George Clooney’s house, and even if there was, you probably wouldn’t be let in once you got there, but other than that, you could find yourself very similar digs. I mean, the London area is lousy with mansions, even some that haven’t been bought by Russian oligarchs. And $21,000 a month isn’t even that much, when you really think about it. Sure, it’s more than most people pay for a year’s rent, but it’s not crazy. So, I think you can make this happen. Just go talk to Dawn and Gill in H.R. and they’ll help you out. You just have to ask the right way. Probably don’t mention anything about the Clooney boat, not yet anyway. Ease into that one. But do fight against the extended-stay hotel or business suite or whatever they’re calling the box they want to put you in. Demand, gently, the house with the movie theater and swimming pools. If Brad Pitt deserves it, so do you.

Hollywood actress, celebrity, humanitarian, and UNHCR ambassador; Angelina Jolie was in Greece a few days ago to examine the refugee crisis first-hand.On her visit she went to several refugee camps overwhelmed with migrants and refugees fleeing conflict and desperately seeking to find a new home – potentially in other European countries. The FYROM has made a firm decision in closing its border, while Greece wrestles with how to manage several thousand migrants and Turkey hosts over 2 million migrants.PM Alexis Tsipras confirmed in a conversation with Jolie that at least 30,000 migrants are trapped on the Greek mainland due to the unilateral actions of Balkan countries.Jolie said the refugees were stuck in a “deteriorating humanitarian situation” and needed help. She spend about 30 minutes at the Port of Piraeus and also visited a camp in Eleonas.There have been conflicting reports on whether the action of the European Union to broker a deal with Turkey to assist Greece in this refugee crisis has been beneficial, as well as if it is at all “humane” for Balkan countries, such as the FYROM, to firmly commit to not permitting additional entry of refugees or migrants. Many migrants have sought to go to the FYROM through the Greek border of Indomeni but have been sent back.

Angelina Jolie And Charlize Theron Feuding?

Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron are NOT feuding, despite a made-up tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust this rumor. We’re told it’s “not true.” According to OK!, Jolie and Theron see each other as a threat and have been engaged in a “Hollywood turf war” for years. A so-called “source” tells the tabloid, “Charlize wants to be the most powerful leading lady, and Angie, who’s been focused on directing, is threatened.” The magazine’s questionable insider adds, “They complain about each other to the same groups of people. It’s so uncomfortable.” The tabloid goes on to claim that both actresses briefly became cordial during the time Theron was dating Sean Penn, who’s friends with Brad Pitt. Of course, Theron and Penn split last year. Now, says the magazine’s supposed “source,” “Angie thinks Charlize ripped out Sean’s heart, and she’s disgusted with her. Don’t expect to see them sharing the screen, ever.” But Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to the situation, who exclusively assures us there’s absolutely no feud going on between Jolie and Theron, and the tabloid’s story is simply “not true.” Unfortunately, we have spent an inordinate amount of time correcting OK! for its many fabricated reports about both actresses, and we even previously called out the magazine’s sister publication, the National Enquirer, for falsely pitting the two women against each other. This latest tale is just another bogus attempt to create a feud, where none exists, between two A-list female stars.
