Well, this was either super awkward or they're all good! Angelina Jolie was snapped chatting with a passionate-looking Amy Pascal at The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast on Wednesday, Dec. 11 — just two days after leaked Sony emails revealed Jolie to be described as a "minimally talented spoiled brat." The Oscar winner, who made a surprise appearance at the event in honor of her upcoming film Unbroken, appeared to be composed while talking to Sony Pictures Entertainment's co-chairwoman. In case you missed it, Pascal was involved in a now-leaked heated email discussion with big-budget producer Scott Rudin about Jolie. The conversation got intense as Pascal and Rudin fought over director David Fincher and the actress. It all came down to the fact that Brad Pitt's wife apparently wanted Fincher to lead her Cleopatra flick around the same time that Rudin planned to use the director for his own Steve Jobs biopic.
"She is upset about us giving [Fincher] Jobs. She wants to talk," Pascal wrote to Rudin, who replied by brushing off the star with: "She'll survive it. I don't want to waste my time on this." Things got real intense when Rudin then wrote in a series of replies: "YOU BETTER SHUT ANGIE DOWN BEFORE SHE MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR DAVID TO DO JOBS," "I'm not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie," "She's a camp event and a celebrity and that's all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming." Read more of the insults in the leaked emails here.Following the massively embarrassingly leak, which also included emails of Sony execs dissing Kevin Hart, Joel McHale, and President Obama, Pascal released an apology. "The content of my emails to Scott were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am," she wrote in a statement. "Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended."

In embarrassing emails leaked by Sony hackers Scott Rudin, producer of The Social Network and The Queen, claims the star's planned remake of Cleopatra will be an "ego bath" . An Oscar-winning Hollywood producer reportedly attacked Angelina Jolie as a "spoiled brat with a rampaging ego" in leaked emails.Scott Rudin, who produced films including The Social Network, Notes on a Scandal, Moneyball, and The Queen, made the comments in what appear to be a series of angry exchanges with Amy Pascal, co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment.The studio has been targeted by Guardians of the Peace, a hacking group with suspected links to North Korea, which has obtained and leaked vast amounts of information from Sony's computers.The studio has not commented on whether the emails, which were dated in February and have been widely reported in the film media, were genuine.According to the messages Rudin and Pascal began swearing at each other because Jolie wanted director David Fincher to oversee her planned remake of Cleopatra instead of a Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin. Rudin, pushing the Jobs movie, wrote to Pascal: "There is no movie of Cleopatra to be made (and how that is a bad thing given the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman and the cost of the movie is beyond me)...I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats and I will tell her this myself if you don't."
He predicted Cleopatra would be an "$180m ego bath and giant bomb" and "career-defining debacle for us both" which would make himself and Pascal the "laughing stock of our industry."According to the emails Rudin added that he was "not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat" and told Pascal: "You better shut Angie down before she makes it very hard for David to do Jobs."Jolie has previously hinted that Cleopatra may be her last acting role before she moves on to become a full-time director.In the email exchanges Rudin also attacked Megan Ellison, the film producer daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison, calling her a "bipolar 28-year-old lunatic."Jolie has not responded but Ellison said on Twitter: "Bipolar 28-year-old lunatic..? I always thought of myself more as eccentric."Variety, the film industry magazine, called the emails "ugly" and did not question their authenticity.It added: "With all of these explosive comments made public it’s possible that crucial relationships involved could be damaged."In the hunt for who is responsible for the hacking suspicion has centred on North Korea.The country has expressed anger over Sony's upcoming release of The Interview, a comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen as television journalists recruited by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-un.
