Jon Voight has yet to see Maleficent, but he's confident that his granddaughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt will be every bit as enchanting as her mom Angelina Jolie, who plays the titular villain in the Disney film. E! News caught up with the 75-year-old actor Monday, and he lit up when asked about the 5-year-old cutie's cameo as a young Princess Aurora. (Elle Fanning, 16, plays the teenage version of the princess.) "I'm excited," Voight said at the Ray Donovan screening in North Hollywood Monday. "I don't know anything about it, but I heard some things about it that Angie had said. It was funny, when they were trying to help her in the work, you know? Apparently the people at Disney were having a lot of fun because [Brad Pitt] and Angie were running with the camera trying to get, 'Okay now smile! You're out in the field.' You know, stuff like that." (Pax Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt also have cameo roles.) In a prior interview, Jolie explained why her youngest daughter was cast. "We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all," she told Entertainment Weekly. "But the other 3- and 4-year-old [actors] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."

Angelina Jolie goes bra-free in skimpy silk camisole to hit grungy West Hollywood rock club with Brad Pitt for rare date night

Angelina Jolie clearly wanted to make the best of her rare date night with fiancé Brad Pitt. The 38-year-old actress went bra-free in a skimpy black silk camisole, paired with very tight coated skinny jeans and high heels, to hit the grungy West Hollywood rock club The Troubadour on Sunday. The A-list stars were checking out Japanese singer Miyavi, who has a role in Jolie's upcoming directorial effort Unbroken. When it comes to simple monochrome no one does it better, or more consistently, that Angelina Jolie. So it was no surprise when she stepped out in yet another of her wardrobe staples: a black (obvs) silk camisole. Teamed with her trademark black trousers and signature Saint Laurent bag, this look stands out without straying from her usual pared back vibe. A black camisole is a wardrobe must-have that is guaranteed to last you through the seasons, compatible with most trousers, skirts and suits; it is a versatile fall back for those crisis days when you’re just not sure what to wear. Team with a sleek pencil skirt in a pastel hue to tackle two of this season's biggest trends. This particular cami is 100% silk, which is always preferable for that little touch of luxury. We're also loving Jigsaw's simple round neck version (below), the ultimate budget-friendly buy. After taking in the sold out show, Brad and Angelina were spotted trying to make a quick exit through the back of the intimate venue. The Maleficent actress styled her hair back in a ponytail, wore little make-up and later covered up with a long sleeve black top. It could not be seen whether or not she was wearing her large diamond engagement ring from Pitt.
Sporting a goatee, 50-year-old Brad was in hipster dad mode in a newsboy cap, dark rimmed glasses, brown jacket, his favorite khaki pants and sneakers. While making their getaway, the World War Z star could be seen holding on to his wife's delicate arm. The Oscar winners are fans of the Japanese singer-songwriter. Unbroken chronicles World War II hero Louis Zamperini, a former Olympic track star who survived a plane crash in the Pacific, spent days drifting on a raft and then more than two years as a prisoner of war in several brutal Japanese internment camps. Along with Miyavi, the movie stars Garret Hedlund, Jack O'Connell and Domhall Glesson and is scheduled to be released on December 25th.Angelina previously directed the 2011 film In The Land Of Blood And Honey.

Angie 'wants another child'

Angelina Jolie reportedly "can't bear" the thought of not having any more children. The 38-year-old actress and her fiancé Brad Pitt have daughter Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox, along with their adopted kids Maddox, Zahara and Pax. The actress underwent a double mastectomy last year after discovering she was genetically predisposed to breast and ovarian cancer and is said to need further precautionary surgery. It is thought she has delayed a procedure to remove her ovaries. Despite already having a thriving family, the brunette star is reportedly still longing for more little ones and is worried about her health stopping her chances."Ange feels she'd like one more baby, she can't help it. She's obviously aware of the risks of postponing surgery, but she can't bear to say goodbye to ever having children again," a source told British magazine Look. "We all know she adores being a mother. She loves raising her kids and doesn't want that part of her life to be over. On the other hand, she knows the risks if she waits too long, so she is torn." While medical experts are said to be eager to help Angelina, it is believed she still needs time to adjust. Brad is thought to be supporting his wife-to-be in any way he can, despite worrying."Her doctors are prepared to help whenever she needs it, but she doesn't feel mentally certain yet. She doesn't want to let people down by being afraid, but she also wonders if she'll be the woman she was if she can't conceive," the insider added. "[Brad] says [scheduling the operation] is her decision. He'll respect it, but he does worry the clock is ticking and if she doesn't have the operation soon, the consequences could be catastrophic."

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt’s Son Maddox Attempts To Claw His Way Out Of The A-List Family – Wants To Return To Cambodia!

According to some recent report, Angelina Jolie is fearing that she might be losing her 12-year-old son Maddox, who’s allegedly desperate to return to his home country of Cambodia. The story comes from OK! magazine and sources claim that the kid is “rebelling against his famous parents.” Whether he actually is rebelling or not, well, we might never truly know — but I think we should all prepare for more and more stories about the “rebellious natures” of Brangelina’s A-list children.Angelina has supposedly “become worried because he’s talking a lot about traveling to Cambodia.” He was adopted from there when he was just a baby. According to the claims, “He spends hours on the Internet in an attempt to trace relatives. He says it’s his dream to be reunited with his real family.” So what are Brad’s thoughts on this matter? Is he freaking out that he might lose his child? Doesn’t seem that way. He’s supposedly trying to comfort Angie during this process, saying that this kind of behavior and curiosity is completely normal for a boy in his circumstance — it’s not a bad thing that he wants to explore his roots. It seems that he’s under the persuasion that it’s perfectly normal for an adoptive child to wonder about his or her beginnings, and we tend to agree.
