YIKES, is there trouble in paradise between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie…because of Selena Gomez?! The actor hung out with Sel at the Golden Globes, and Angie is completely and insanely jealous over it, according to a new report. OMG!Angelina Jolie, 40, is not on-board with Brad Pitt, 52, and Selena Gomez’s friendship! With Brangelina’s marriage reportedly falling apart as it is, things crumbled even further when Brad spent time with the singer in January. Is something going on between these two behind Angelina’s back!? Selena made a cameo in Brad’s movie The Big Short, and after the Golden Globes in January, the two bonded over the film — and looked to be having quite a time together in shots posted to Instagram. “All the rumors about Brad and Selena made [Angie] insane with jealousy,” an insider tells Star magazine.Considering the A-list couple got together while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston, 47, it makes sense that Angelina would worry if her man is faithful. But, the fear of infidelity is mutual, the mag reports — the actress reportedly got cozy with a crew member on her new film, while Brad was photographed enjoying dinner with a mystery blonde in Berlin.Multiple news outlets have reported that there’s trouble between Brad and Angelina recently, especially since they’ve been spending more and more time apart while working on different projects miles and miles away from each other. Of course, they do have six kids to think about, so for now, it looks like they won’t be making any sort of split official. Let’s hope they can work this out!

Angelina Jolie returns to Cambodia as director

Between bites of spicy Cambodian curry and fried fish with rice, Angelina Jolie Pitt explains how this tiny country with a tumultuous past changed the course of her life.She first visited Cambodia 16 years ago to portray "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" — the gun-toting, bungee-jumping, supremely toned action hero that made her a star. Soon after, she adopted her first child from a Cambodian orphanage and returned again and again on humanitarian missions. Now, she's back for another movie but this time as a director, and the subject matter is a far cry from Lara Croft."First They Killed My Father," is based on a Khmer Rouge memoir written by survivor Loung Ung that recounts the 1970s Cambodian genocide from a child's perspective. The film, which she is directing and co-wrote with Ung for Netflix, is in Khmer, with an all-Cambodian cast and according to Jolie Pitt "the most important" movie of her career. During a break from filming, she talked to The Associated Press about how, more than ever, she feels a satisfying symbiosis between her life and work.In person, Jolie Pitt is engaging and down-to-earth, dressed in a T-shirt and long black skirt, her hair pulled into a casual bun. She goes out of her way to play down her celebrity, hopping into the back of an SUV and squeezing into the middle seat beside a reporter for a short drive from the set to the crew's outdoor lunch tents. She is relaxed and articulate as the conversation veers from acting and directing, to history, humanitarian work, motherhood and her special relationship to Cambodia."When I first came to Cambodia, it changed me. It changed my perspective. I realized there was so much about history that I had not been taught in school, and so much about life that I needed to understand, and I was very humbled by it," said the 40-year-old Jolie Pitt, who grew up in Los Angeles where she felt "a real emptiness." She was struck by the graciousness and warmth of Cambodian people, despite the tragedy that left an estimated 2 million people dead. While shooting Lara Croft in 2000, some scenes required sidestepping land mines, she said, which made her aware of the dangers refugees face in countries ravaged by war. "That trip triggered my realization of how little I knew and the beginning of my search for that knowledge."
It prompted her to contact the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees to learn about the agency's work before joining as a goodwill ambassador in 2001. She was then given an expanded role as Special Envoy in 2012.It was during an early trip back to Cambodia with the U.N. that Jolie had another epiphany — this time about motherhood."It's strange, I never wanted to have a baby. I never wanted to be pregnant. I never babysat. I never thought of myself as a mother," Jolie, now famously a mother of six, says with a laugh. But while playing with children at a Cambodian school, "it was suddenly very clear to me that my son was in the country, somewhere."She adopted Maddox in 2002, and a year later opened a foundation in his name in northwestern Battambang province, which helps fund health care, education and conservation projects in rural Cambodia.Maddox is now 14 and sporting what his mom calls "a blonde stripe" — a shaggy mohawk with the top dyed blonde. He joined her in Cambodia to help behind the scenes for the project that she sees as a unique merger of her film work and family with humanitarian interests."For me, this is the moment, where finally my life is kind of in line, and I feel I'm finally where I should be," Jolie Pitt said.Her fondness for Cambodia is mutual, according to the country's most celebrated filmmaker Rithy Panh, who says "First They Killed My Father" will be the first Hollywood epic filmed in Cambodia about the country's genocide — a sign that the government trusts her to respectfully revisit the horrors of the past."I don't think they authorized Hollywood to come here. They authorized Angelina Jolie. It's not the same. She is special. She has a special relationship with the Cambodian people. There is a mutual respect," said Panh, her co-producer."I wonder if she's not a reincarnated Cambodian," he laughed, then thought about it. "Maybe. Maybe in a previous life she was Cambodian."She expects to return to hold the film's premiere in Cambodia at the end of the year, before its release on Netflix.

Khmer Rouge's takeover of Phnom Penh recreated for Angelina Jolie-directed film

The moment sends a chill down the spine of many Cambodians.Early on the morning of April 17, 1975, battle-hardened young fighters of the Khmer Rouge guerrilla army began silently filtering into the capital Phnom Penh, which had been besieged for five months.Many city dwellers cheered, hoping it would be the end of a civil war that had cost half a million lives.But it was to be the beginning of a four-year nightmare that left an estimated 1.7 million people dead from starvation, disease or execution as the Khmer Rouge emptied cities and tore up money in a disastrous attempt to create an agrarian utopia.Now almost 41 years later, photos have emerged on the internet of a dramatic recreation of that day – stirring memories of the genocide – despite that the producers of the Angelina Jolie-directed movie First They Killed My Father kept paparazzi away from the set."Seeing these scenes, remembering the true story during that regime … the pain and will never be forgotten," posted one Facebook user."It still haunts my memory, non-stop," posted another.Beyond blockades manned by today's soldiers, the photographs taken by onlookers show black-clad and heavily armed actors arriving on trucks in Battambang, the country's second-largest north-western city.The streets were lined with 1960s vintage cars, a computer shop had been transformed into a camera repair shop and a brick building had become a cinema.Hundreds of extras hired to appear in the movie were paid $US25 a day in the impoverished country were the average income is $US940 a year.The movie, produced for Netflix and shot in the Cambodian language and English, is an adaptation of a non-fiction book by Loung Ung, a childhood survivor of the Khmer Rouge era who was trained as a soldier in a camp for orphans.Angelina Jolie is greeted by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Jolie says she was deeply affected by Loung's book and the movie will be "hard to watch but important to see".She told Associated Press the intent of the movie is not to revisit the horrors of war but to bring to the screen characters that people worldwide will empathise with, and to help other people learn about Cambodia."What is special about this particular story is that it is told from the perspective of a five-year-old child, and is based on a child's emotional experience of war," she said."It sheds light not only on the experience of children during the genocide in Cambodia but of all children who endure war."Jolie said the movie will also draw her closer to the people of Cambodia, the homeland of her adopted 14-year-old son Maddox, who is involved in the production.Despite being deprived access to the set, the paparazzi have been busy revealing the 40-year-old Oscar-winning Jolie's new tattoos, supposedly inked by Thai master tattooist Ajarn Noo.And the gossip writers have claimed divorce was nearing with 52-year-old Brad Pitt (subsequently denied), and she was adopting another Cambodian child to join her six other children (also denied).Jolie, a United Nations special envoy on refugees, has had a decade-long association with Cambodia, whose 15 million people remain deeply scarred by the Khmer Rouge period.In 2001 she starred in Lara Croft:Tomb Raider, a movie shot at a temple in the Angkor Wat complex in the country's north-west.In 2003 she founded the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation, a non-government-organisation that focuses on environmental conservation, rural poverty and female empowerment.The foundation bought 60,000 hectares of Cambodian land that was infiltrated by poachers, and turned it into a wildlife reserve.Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni has signed a special decree giving Jolie Cambodian citizenship, in recognition of her environmental work in the country.

Salt made a splash back in 2010 with Angelina Jolie kicking ass across the screen as a secret agent. Though there has been talk of a sequel since then, nothing has emerged. But now Sony is looking to go a different route, putting a TV remake of the film into development.It's just the latest in an increasing list of movies getting the telly treatment, with the likes of The Exorcist and Training Day among the current crop trying to fight their way into a packed small screen market. Quite what form the Salt show would take isn't known at this very early stage (beyond an obvious likely lack of Jolie, but Sony's Diego Suarez tells Screen International, "We want to bring it to Europe in a completely different way." The original plot (spoiler alert in case you haven't seen a six-year-old film) found Jolie has a CIA spy released from a North Korean prison who is eventually revealed to be a Russian agent tasked with assassinating the US President. She ultimately turns against her sleeper agent masters and goes on the run. This new series is being touted at the European Film Market, and we'll have to wait to see if a broadcaster bites.

Do James Caan and Angelina Jolie Share a History Together?

He’s one of the main stars on the hit show Hawaii Five-O but that doesn’t mean fame has gone to Scott Caan’s head. In fact, he’s as down-to-earth and relaxed as anyone else without a starring role in a hit television show. We see him every Friday night being awesome, but we still don’t know much about him. He’s handsome, he’s funny and he is clearly good at his job. Knowing all that, it might not seem as if there is much more we need to know, but we always like to learn a little bit more about a man who comes into our homes every Friday.
His dad is famous.He is the son of famous actor James Caan, so it’s safe to say that acting runs in his blood. Considering all the roles he’s had and his long history in the career, we’d say it really does run in the family.
He’s been hanging around with Playboy since he was 12.That’s right, people; 12. His father was interviewed for Playboy TV when Scott Caan was only 12, and he went with his father. His friends were probably as jealous as they get.
He’s got a long history with actress Angelina Jolie.They attended high school together at Beverly Hills High for starters. They later appeared together in a famous Nic Cage movie, “Gone in Sixty Seconds.” They’ve known one another for a very long time.
He did not graduate high school.Scott Caan might have to say a quick prayer of thanks that his acting career worked out for him, because high school did not. He dropped out two years before graduation to pursue a musical career in a rap group. It did not work out for him.
His father told him not to take the role.Scott asked his dad if he thought that his role on Friday night’s hottest show was a good one for him, and his dad told him not to take it. I think he might be glad he did not listen to his father’s advice this time around.
