Proud papa! Angelina Jolie's dad, actor Jon Voight, told Us Weekly at The Wrap's First Annual Emmy Celebration on June 5 in Los Angeles that his granddaughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt's acting debut in Maleficent was "wonderful" and reminded him of when Jolie made her own debut alongside him back in 1982."Magnificent. She's wonderful," the Oscar-winning actor revealed of the 5-year-old's big screen debut as young Princess Aurora."It was a very lovely moment to see Angie with her on screen, and they were terrific together. It was just great," Voight gushed.Despite Jolie's fiance Brad Pitt getting attacked by red carpet prankster Vitalii Sediuk at the May 28 premiere in Hollywood, Voight went on to say it was a "great night.""It's the most wonderful thing when you see your little granddaughter, just like when I saw Angie on the screen, you know," he said in reference to when Jolie first made her acting debut at age 4 alongside him in 1982's Lookin' to Get Out.When asked if Vivienne and Jolie's debuts were similar, Voight said you can't compare them because "each one is themselves."

They're always flying off to some distant country to either film or promote one of their blockbuster movies.And Hollywood's favourite power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were off again on Friday night as they were spotted with two of their children heading to a departing flight at the Los Angeles International Airport.Always the hands on parents, the duo dotingly guided Maddox, 12, and Zahara, nine, to their terminal.The freshly 39-year-old kept a protective hand on little Zahara as she wore a pair of dark sunglasses and an all black getup.While her daughter opted for a stripy long sleeve shirt, black trousers, and a pair of high top shoes with bright orange laces.Pitt, 50, wore a shirt that looked to have featured a drawing by one of his children, which looked to be an artistic depiction of him and his partner Jolie.Completing his getup were khaki trousers, a matching sports coat and lace up boots as he donned a jaunty hat for the evening of flying.Maddox was a cool customer in a black hoodie as he followed in the footsteps of his famous parents by wearing a pair of dark sunglasses.
Walking by the side of his father, the young man sported a graphic T-shirt and dark jeans as he stomped around in lace up Converse.Meanwhile, Jolie has revealed that her brood of children will help to organise her eventual wedding to Pitt.The star, who currently appears in hit movie Maleficent, made the comments in an interview with Look Magazine.It is one of the few times she's discussed plans to tie the knot with her partner of ten years.Speaking to the glossy title, she said: 'We are discussing it [the wedding] with the children and how they imagine it might be, which is hysterical - how kids might envision a wedding.'They will, in a way, be the wedding planners. It's going to be Disney or paintball, one or the other!'The star, who met her partner on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith, also said that she's thinking about working with Brad on a joint professional project.'I would love to,' she said. 'I wrote something a few years ago that we're thinking about working together on. We haven't done that for ten years but we had so much fun when we did.'We weren't a couple at the time so it would be very different now - but when I worked with him I realised he was my best friend. He's a really great man.'Angelina gave the interview before flying to Shanghai to promote the film to Asian audiences.While daughter Vivienne, five, appears in the film as a young Aurora - played by Elle Fanning - nine-year-old Zahara and Pax, 10, also have minor cameos.Speaking of what it was like to have her children on set with her, the doting mother - who also has Maddox, 12, Shiloh, seven, and Knox, five, with Brad - admitted they brought out the best in her.'It was fun to share, but it was also that I'm better when they're there,' she says. 'My performance was a little more enhanced, 'cause if I think about making them laugh, I get a little crazier.'

50 Cent has proved he has a good sense of humor, and showed off his acting abilities spoofing Angelina Jolie's new film Maleficent.There is some dispute on whether Angelina Jolie was the right choice for the role of Maleficent, after receiving some very stiff competition from 50 Cent on Thursday night. The rapper spoofed Jolie's film on Jimmy Kimmel Live when he came out as "Malefiftycent."50 Cent showed off his best assets, and a few new ones — in the form of the Disney character's signature horns. He also used his own life experiences to show what he could bring to the character."I've been shot nine times — I'm not afraid of no little white girl," he said at one point, referring to his infamous shooting years ago.He also had a few other select lines that fit with the movie, including, "This s*** just got magical" and "Get witch or die tryin'."Although Jolie personifies Maleficent perfectly in the video, 50 Cent definitely gave her a run for her money, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel. The rapper showed his softer side, and that he definitely has a sense of humor when he wants to. During his interview with Kimmel, he also opened up about his wayward pitch during last week's Mets game.The ball was sent far to the left of home plate, but 50 Cent laughed that one off as well."The worst part was watching the catcher's face," he explained."One thing you don't have at the house is a pitcher's mound," Kimmel replied, although 50's mansion does have pretty much everything else, including a nightclub.

Angelina Jolie to Promote 'Maleficent' in China

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt is expected to have a more low-key visit after he angered Chinese authorities with "Seven Years in Tibet," which led to the star being banned from the country.Angelina Jolie is set to promote Maleficent in Shanghai on Tuesday, with her presence sure to give yet more gloss to the performance of the Disney live-action fairytale, which opened with a $170.6 million global box-office haul.A big driver for the $70 million debut in North American theaters were girls and women. The female audience is also a key demographic for the movie in China.Jolie will be accompanied on the trip by Brad Pitt, who will not take part in the promotional activities for Maleficent, which is due to bow in China on June 20.Pitt's presence is significant as he has been persona non grata in China since he played Heinrich Harrer in Seven Years in Tibet, a movie disliked by the Chinese authorities, as it includes an account of the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950 and subsequent ousting of the region's religious leader, the Dalai Lama, long considered a dangerous separatist by Beijing.There are signs that relationships are thawing though. Seven Years in Tibet was directed by Frenchman Jean-Jacques Annaud, who is currently directing Wolf Totem, which is backed by state-run film firm China Film Group.Annaud's status has shifted to that of a hero in China, with local media reporting tales of his befriending wolves during the shooting of the philosophical adventure story.Last year, Pitt posted on the Chinese version of Twitter, Sina Weibo, saying he would be coming to the country, but the message disappeared soon after.
Pitt's World War Z didn't make it into Chinese theaters, despite indications that it might, although the flesh-eating theme might have been the reason it didn't clear that hurdle despite The Walking Dead being available online in China.Chinese audiences increasingly reward stars who make the effort to come to China to promote a movie.Twentieth Century Fox tentpole X-Men: Days of Future Past took nearly $40 million in its opening weekend after Hugh Jackman and Peter Dinklage came to Beijing for their promotional duties.The Amazing Spider-Man 2's profile also was highly visible in the country after Andrew Garfield, Jamie Foxx and Emma Stone visited to promote the pic. Similarly, Johnny Depp's decision to come to China to promote Transcendence helped assure it made nearly as much here as it did in the U.S. in its opening weekend ($11.5 million in the U.S.).Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson came to Beijing to promote Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which made more than $108 million in China.
