          Angelina Jolie is back on the back screen, as newly released images show the Hollywood star transformed into the Queen of Hearts.The actress, 45, is unrecognisable as the character made famous in Alice in Wonderland, for her part in major new family movie Come Away.The magical fairy tales Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland are merged into a new origin story directed by Brave's Brenda Champman and featuring an all-star cast. Angelina and David Oyelowo star as Rose and Jack Littleton, parents to Alice (Keir Chansa) and Peter (Jordan A. Nash), who would become Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.The story focuses around the family's grief after the loss of their eldest child, with the two children trying to help their parents recover. After Alice and Peter sell a family heirloom in London, Alice hides in a rabbit hole. and Peter enters another magical realm and meets the Lost Boys.It's while down the rabbit hole, that Alice meets the Queen of Hearts, played by Angelina, who looks magnificent as the the character from Lewis Carroll's beloved stories.Wearing a white dress with a huge frilled collar and painted with a red heart, the actress' hair is styled into a heart-shape while she is seen holding the famous white rabbit. Brenda Chapman makes her live-action directorial debut on Come Away, eight years after directing the Disney Pixar animated adventure Brave. The trailer released earlier this month sets up the magical tale, with Rose telling her daughter Alice that, 'every child has a fairy born just for them,' revealing that, 'Tinker's Bell was born for you,' as she rings a tiny bell.
          Alice is dismissive, though, stating, 'It's just a bell,' before we see Jack, who says that Alice, 'is in a hurry to grow up,' while Peter wants to 'explore new lands.' We then get our first look at Peter, who is playing an adventure game while Alice has a tea party with a stuffed rabbit.After they have come inside, Rose jokes,' Who are these dirty vagabonds and what have they done with my children?'Jack adds that this is, 'the untold story of a brother and sister, two kindred adventurers, our Alice and our Peter.'There is also a tense scene in their home when a brick is thrown through their window, as a voice screams, 'I told you to pay your debt!' as the children hold hands.We also get a glimpse at Michael Caine's Charlie, who says that his boss is, 'still the boss, while Peter gets introduced to the Lost Boys, who come tumbling out of a tree.The trailer also shows Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, as she is seemingly sent away to a boarding school, where the nefarious Eleanor Morrow (Anna Chancelor) says, 'We'll make a lady of you yet.'We see in another scene, though, that Eleanor is also this story's version of the Red Queen, as Alice finds a familiar bottle that says, 'Drink me' as she pleads, 'Take me away from here.'We also get a glimpse at Clarke Peters as the Mad Hatter, as Rose adds, 'We can all use a little extra courage, now and then.'The trailer winds down with a number of random shots before Peter tells Alice, 'It's no time to grow up, it never is,' as he embraces his sister before running off.The final shots tease the arrival of Tinker Bell through the actual bell.Come Away had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Janaury with a scheduled release in the UK on December 18.The movie was actually filmed in 2018, with the all-star cast descending on locations in London and Windsor before filming concluded in Los Angeles. The film marks only the second movie role for Angelina in five years, following the success of last year's Maleficent sequel, Mistress of Evil.

The Reason Billy Bob Thornton And Angelina Jolie's Marriage Failed

Details

         Billy Bob Thornton waited until the year 2018 to talk about his perception of the reasons why his marriage to Angelina Jolie failed.Over the last several decades, there has been an entire industry created to make money off celebrity gossip. Ever since the first tabloid magazine rose to prominence, all of the biggest celebrities have been under the spotlight, especially when it comes to their love lives. With that in mind, it makes sense that people have forgotten about a lot of celebrity couples from the past.Given how many celebrity couples there are at any given moment, it is amazing that people care about some pairs that haven’t been together for many years. Despite that, there have been a select few short-lived celebrity couples that still fascinate people many years after they went their separate ways.Of all the celebrity couples from the past that people still bring up, it could easily be argued that the most interesting pair is Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. After all, the pair had such a passionate bond during their short-lived marriage that it seemed like they would always be together or break up in some kind of spectacular way. Fortunately, many years after Jolie and Thornton broke up, they each gave their take on the reasons for the split. Interestingly, they blamed the split for very different reasons.As of the time of this writing, Billy Bob Thornton has tied the knot with six different women. Thankfully, it certainly seems like he may have finally found the one as he has been married to the same person since 2014 and none of his other marriages lasted that long.
         Sadly, in the years since Billy Bob Thornton and his first wife Melissa Lee Gatlin got divorced in 1980, things have taken a tragic turn for the child they had together. After Thornton and Gatlin split, he had no relationship with their daughter. For that reason, Thornton wasn’t in the picture when a child his daughter was babysitting lost their life after suffering a fracture to their skull. Amazingly enough, even after Thornton’s daughter was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aggravated manslaughter, his only reaction was to put out a one-sentence statement. "Anytime a baby's life is lost is an unimaginable tragedy, and my heart goes out to the baby's family and loved ones." In addition to that tragic situation, another one of Billy Bob Thornton’s relationships resulted in some very harsh feelings when it suddenly fell apart. After meeting in 1997, Thornton and Laura Dern began dating and eventually got serious enough to get engaged. Together with Thornton for three years, both actors worked consistently during their relationship so when Dern left to make a film in the year 2000, she had no idea she would be abandoned. During an appearance on The Talk, Dern said; “I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I’ve never heard from him again.”Talk about heartless.Over the years, Angelina Jolie’s love life has been the subject of many breathless headlines. For example, to this day many people continue to believe that Jolie stole Brad Pitt away from Jennifer Aniston and hold that against her. No matter how Pitt and Jolie became a couple, the fact remains that they were together for many years before they got married in 2014 and then divorced in 2019.In addition to marrying Billy Bob Thornton, who she met while they filmed Pushing Tin, and Brad Pitt, who she met while making Mr. & Mrs. Smith together, Angelina Jolie wed another co-star. Introduced to the actor Jonny Lee Miller when they made Hackers together, Jolie married him in 1996. After only 18 months of married life, Jolie and Miller separated and then got officially divorced in 1999.In addition to the men that Angelina Jolie has married, her other notable relationship also involves another former co-star. Introduced when they made a movie called Firefox together, Jolie and the model-actress Jenny Shimizu had a lengthy relationship in the mid-‘90s.In the years since Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton broke up, a lot has been said about how the two actors behaved in other relationships. Despite that, many people still pour over the timeline of Thornton and Jolie’s marriage all of these years later. With that in mind, it makes sense that during interviews, both actors have been asked about their former relationship and why it came to an end.
         During a 2005 interview with Vanity Fair, Angeline Jolie addressed her divorce from Billy Bob Thornton and blamed it on a couple of things. First off, when Jolie was asked about rumors that Thornton had been unfaithful to her while on tour with the Billy Bob Thornton Band, Angelina said she didn’t think those stories were “untrue”. From there, she seemingly blamed their divorce on her decision to adopt a child and his unwillingness to be a father. “He wasn’t, uh, ready” for adopting a child “but, uh, he sent me his love. It’s kind of uh”—she fell silent—“tragic,”.For his part, Billy Bob Thornton waited until the year 2018 to talk about his perception of the reasons why his marriage to Angelina Jolie failed. While speaking to a representative of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the HFPA in Conversation podcast, Thornton said; “Angie is still a friend of mine and she's a great person”. Continuing to praise his ex-wife, Thornton went on to say; “ I remember our time together as really being great”. From there, Thornton explained his take on their divorce. "We just had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle. So, that's really—that's the only reason we're probably not still together, maybe, because of a different path in life we wanted to take."

It's official! Angelina Jolie loses bid to remove judge who officiated her and Brad Pitt's wedding from divorce case after claiming he had undisclosed ties to her ex's team

          Angelina Jolie has officially lost her battle to remove the judge from her bitter divorce proceedings with ex Brad Pitt, court documents obtained by DailyMail.com show. Jolie had previously claimed that Judge John W. Ouderkirk - who married the couple at their lavish French wedding in 2014 - failed to disclose 'ongoing business and professional relationships' that he had with Pitt's legal team.The actress claimed she didn't think it was 'fair' to have him preside over the ongoing four-year divorce battle.However, in court documents filed on Monday, the Superior Court of California in Orange County officially ruled that Ouderkirk would remain on the case.The ruling comes as a source close to the former couple told DailyMail.com: 'This was the judge who was originally brought in by Angie's team. He married them, for heaven's sake.'It's a prime example of someone who tried to get the referee removed late in the game because they weren't going to like the outcome.' The former power couple - who first split in 2016, effectively ending a 12-year relationship and two years of marriage - share six children, Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12. The court ruling released on Monday stated Ouderkirk had made the required disclosures of when he had previously been involved in cases with the law firm representing Pitt. Jolie had previously claimed that Ouderkirk - who married the couple at their lavish French wedding in 2014 - failed to disclose 'ongoing business and professional relationships' that he had with Pitt's legal team. She claimed she didn't think it was 'fair' to have him preside over the ongoing four-year divorce case.They added that Jolie was aware of Ouderkirk's appointment and former dealings since August 2018 and could have taken issue then, making her recent legal bid 'untimely'.  In August, Jolie was accused of deliberately trying to delay their bitter four-year long divorce battle by Pitt's legal team, after she filed a request to remove Ouderkirk.
          But Jolie hit back via her own legal representative, who said her client just wanted a 'fair trial' with 'no special favors' for either herself or Pitt. 'All my client is asking for is a fair trial based on facts, with no special favors extended to either side,' Jolie's lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean, told UsWeekly in a statement last month. The statement added: 'The only way litigants can trust the process is for everyone involved to ensure that there’s transparency and impartiality.'The report also added a comment from Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, who believes that Judge Ouderkirk is 'biased in Brad's favor' due to the personal connections they have. An insider recently told UsWeekly of the divorce battle: 'They're at a total impasse. And there's no end in sight.'As previously reported in court documents, Jolie claimed that Ouderkirk - who married the couple at their lavish French wedding in 2014 - failed to disclose 'ongoing business and professional relationships' that he had with Pitt's legal team.However, Pitt responded in papers filed on August 13, calling Jolie's filing a 'Hail Mary' - an American Football reference to deliberately delay a game.In them, Pitt's legal team accuses the actress of making a 'transparently tactical gambit' to delay matters, adding that it will be their own children who are 'hurt most' by the hold up. The papers describe Jolie's request as 'a thinly-veiled attempt by Jolie to delay the adjudication of long-pending custody issues in this case.'    In Pitt's response, he also pointed out three times where Jolie and her lawyers are said to have asked to extend Ouderkirk's appointment to their ongoing divorce case.The documents add that Pitt is concerned about how the continued delays will affect their children, saying: 'Unfortunately, the individuals hurt most by Jolie's transparently tactical gambit are the parties' own children, who continue to be deprived of a final resolution to these custody issues.' Jolie's lawyer DeJean responded to Pitt's filing last week in a statement to PEOPLE saying: 'It is unfortunate that Mr. Pitt's team has sought to intervene ahead of Judge Ouderkirk's response.''One can only conclude that this is an attempt to obstruct or influence Judge Ouderkirk's answer. Any delay in these proceedings is due to their zealous attempt to create an unrecognized special exception for their client's benefit.'   The report adds that a source close to Pitt's team claim that it was Jolie's team who actually knew the judge first, and that 'the only excuse for their filing is that her team knew they were likely to lose and they needed to stall by changing the referee in the fourth quarter.' 'This is the Judge who married them, someone who her team knew well and who her team actually introduced to the couple,' a Pitt source claims.Late last month, the former couple's divorce hit hit yet another bump in the road after Jolie parted ways with one of her high-priced attorneys.Priya Sopori, a Los Angeles-based former federal prosecutor who has been working with Jolie's lead lawyer, Samantha DeJean, is out after filing a 'Notice of Withdrawal of Attorney of Record' with LA Superior Court, DailyMail.com learned.Experienced trial bulldog Sopori is a partner with California law firm Greenberg Glusker LLP.It's not clear whether Jolie - who is fighting Pitt's efforts to win 50/50 custody of their children - fired Sopori or if the attorney made the decision to quit.But the change in her high profile team at this late stage signals Jolie's resolve to get what she wants has only hardened.A source close to Jolie told DailyMail.com: 'Angelina has fought tooth and nail to get what she wants in this divorce, when it comes to her kids she won't back down.''She's paying her legal team a fortune, so if she believes one of her lawyers needs to go she won't hesitate to pull the trigger.'

Did Jennifer Aniston Diss Angelina Jolie Over 'The Eternals'?

Written by Gossip Cop

         It’s been 365 days since Gossip Cop busted a story about Jennifer Aniston busting Angelina Jolie’s chops over The Eternals. Since it’s been a year, we’re taking a look back on that story to see if we got it right. Aniston Disses Marvel, Actually Meant Jolie.In an interview with Variety, the Leprechaun star said she had no interest in being in the “big Marvel movies” which were “diminishing” the movie industry. The Globe took those comments and made said they were a pointed attack on Jolie. An insider said, “Jen's never cared about these action-packed fantasy movies before, but all of a sudden she's slamming them just when Angie begins filming her first Marvel movie.” It was some form of revenge because Aniston “hates Angie more than ever for stealing [Brad Pitt] and then splitting from him.”  Gossip Cop busted this story at the time because it really didn’t make much sense. Aniston was asked directly if she wanted to do a Marvel movie and answered accordingly. We still checked in with a spokesperson for Aniston who dismissed the report as nonsense. What’s Happened Since? The Office Space star hasn’t commented on Marvel movies since that initial interview. The Eternals are expected to come out in November 2021. Jolie’s partnership with Marvel has led to a slew of bogus rumors, so many that we’ve actually collected some of the random rivalries invented by the tabloids. All Jolie has to do is take a role and tabloids will invent the drama.Tabloid Hasn’t Stopped Targeting Jolie and Aniston
         There is no end to dumb Globe stories attacking these two women. It claimed Jolie was the neighbor from hell who allowed her kids to run rampant. Gossip Cop busted that story by showing just how much land Jolie had and how unlikely it was for noise to travel that far. It also claimed that Jolie had turned to witchcraft in an attempt to win her custody battle against Pitt. Just because Jolie played a witch in a movie does not mean she’s doing “voodoo rituals” in real life.Don’t worry, Aniston is not left out in the bogus stories department. The Globe recently said she was starving herself over Pitt. Back in January, this tabloid claimed Jolie was starving herself over Pitt. Everyone’s starving to death over Brad Pitt, apparently. There’s no truth to these stories, and just exemplify how little insight this tabloid has into these movie stars' lives.Aniston was simply responding to a question. It’s honestly more likely that Aniston wouldn’t know Jolie was working with Marvel, since there’s only been a few panels and no trailers to speak of. Globe forgot this story as soon as it published it, which further proves that it was completely false.
