           An Instagram star who used makeup and editing to make her face look like a “Zombie Angelina Jolie” was sentenced to a decade in an Iranian prison a year after she was arrested for her social media activities.Sahar Tabar, 19, whose real name is Fatemeh Khishvand, gained nearly 500,000 followers after posting images of her eerily gaunt face.Tabar’s lawyer confirmed his client was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the past few days, the Daily Mail reported. She was charged with corruption of young people and disrespect for the Islamic Republic, according to the Guardian.She was also charged with blasphemy and inciting violence when she was arrested in October 2019 along with three other Instagram influencers. She was cleared of those charges. Iranian state TV broadcast her confession in late October last year.Her attorneys tried to get her released in April after she caught COVID-19 in jail. Her Instagram account was deactivated.“Her joke landed her in jail,” tweeted Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad. “Her mother cries every day to get her innocent daughter freed.” Medical records showed she had a mental illness, with a history of visits to psychiatric hospitals, making her lengthy sentence less understandable, The Guardian reported. Alinejad even appealed to Jolie, asking the actress and humanitarian activist to help Tabar. “Islamic Republic has a history of tormenting women. We need to be united against this gender apartheid.”

        Angelina Jolie had powerful advice for women who fear being abused over the holidays.The 45-year-old actress, as part of her Special Envoy duties with United Nation's for its 16 Days of Activism campaign, told Harper's Bazaar that women should 'talk to someone, try to find allies and be connected for emergencies' in an effort to safeguard themselves and their children amid potentially-violent situations.'For example, you can agree a code word with a friend or family member, which tells them if you are facing an emergency,' Jolie said. 'Begin to build a network and gain knowledge.'The Maleficent actress said that people in a person's immediate circle, unfortunately, might not be always be the quickest to aid: 'It’s sad to say, but you can’t assume all friends and family will always want to believe and support you. Often it will be strangers who help. Or other victims, support groups, or faith groups.' The Oscar-winner stressed that 'above all,' women need to 'be careful' depending on the situation they are in.'Only you really know the danger you are in, and until you find your support outside, you may feel quite alone,' said the Come Away star. She said that for people who are confided in about abuse, people should 'take it seriously and stand by them, listen to them' and not 'judge them.'Try to understand the huge emotional, financial and legal pressures they are likely facing, including the pressure to stay silent about what has happened to them. And be aware that they may well be suffering trauma and PTSD.' She also shared insights to help people who suspect a friend, relative or child might be a victim of domestic abuse. 'If it has even crossed your mind that someone you know might be vulnerable in this way, try to stay close and present in their lives,' Jolie said. 'Make it clear that you are there for them.  'Another thing we can all do is educate ourselves. Learn about domestic violence. Learn how trauma affects our health and can lead to biological changes, particularly in children. Take these issues seriously.'Jolie last month spoke in Seoul at the Second International Conference on Action with Women and Peace for the UNHCR. She said 'that domestic violence has grown sharply worse during the pandemic; and that the number of people displaced by conflict and persecution - over half of them women and children - has doubled in a decade.' The UN reported that prior to the COVID-19 shutdown, as many as 243 million females were abused by their partner, with less than 40 percent reporting the abuse. More resources are available via Futures Without Violence and UN Women.

'Paranoid' Angelina Jolie Lives In 'Constant Fear' Her Kids Will Get Kidnapped

          Does “paranoid” Angelina Jolie live in “constant fear” that one of her six children could be kidnapped and held for ransom? One tabloid quoted a former bodyguard who said, “It’s all about money.” Gossip Cop looked into the claims and came to a judgment of our own. Angelina Jolie In "Constant Fear?" “Paranoid Angie Fears Kids In The Crosshairs” read the sensationalized headline out of the National Enquirer. The tabloid insisted Angelina Jolie lived “in constant fear” that one of her children would be targeted in a kidnapping or a ransom attempt. According to a “former bodyguard,” Mark “Billy” Billingham, “It’s all about the money.” Billingham is perhaps best known for his stint on SAS Australia, a reality series where celebrities are put through physical and psychological tests from an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers. His biggest claim to fame, however, is the fact that he worked for Jolie back when she and Brad Pitt were still together for a year and a half. According to the tabloid, he’s spent that time “patrolling the perimeter” for the family. Billingham asserted that Jolie feared that her and Pitt’s combined fortune “provided plenty of incentive” for would-be-criminals to target her children.“Angie and Brad are very worried about who goes near the children,” Billingham continued. The tabloid never goes into detail about how Jolie was supposedly “paranoid,” or why the assessment of a former member of Jolie’s security team has any relevance now. According to Billingham and the tabloid’s own admission, he worked for the family nearly five years ago. Why bring this up now as if it's something happening currently? Besides, Jolie has reason to worry about her children’s safety. She’s a very visible public figure, so it makes sense that she’d do everything she could to protect her kids. That’s just what any mother would do. Nothing about that makes her “paranoid” or is proof that she lives in “constant fear” as the outlet suggested. There’s no evidence that Jolie is doing anything out of the ordinary for a mother in her position to look after her kids.The Enquirer has long held a barely concealed disdain for Angelina Jolie and it’s evident in every story about the actress that the tabloid publishes. Last year the tabloid reported that Jolie’s daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, was “begging” her father Brad Pitt to save her. Gossip Cop checked in with our own source close to the situation who assured us the rumor was not true. Just a few months back, the tabloid accused Jolie of deliberately starving herself as a twisted way to force Pitt to capitulate to her child custody demands in court. That couldn’t be further from the truth, we found. This tabloid has lost all semblance of decency.

Angelina Jolie Still 'Casually Hooking Up' With Random Women?

        Following her split from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie has put most of her focus into raising her children. However, last year, a tabloid alleged the actress had a string of hookups with women. Gossip Cop looked into the story when it came out, but since some time has passed, we’re taking a look back at this piece.Angelina Jolie Explored Her Bi-Sexuality Again? Last December, NW reported Jolie re-explored her sexuality after the end of her marriage. While it’s no secret the actress is openly bisexual, according to an insider, Jolie “enjoyed little dates and casual flings with both guys and girls over the past year, but she's definitely curious about this whole new LGBTQ world that's available now.” The source further revealed the Gia actress studied other stars such as Kristen Stewart and Miley Cyrus and how they handled the spotlight while dating other women. The unnamed informant added Jolie “had every intention of keeping her private life private, but sometimes things don't go to plan.” The insider maintained Jolie “wanted to be ready in case she's caught out with one of her new friends. She doesn't care so much about what the world thinks, more about the kids - and they're all behind whatever makes her happy."
        Did An Old Flame Help Angelina Find Dates? The outlet then purported Jolie “reconnected” with actress Jenny Shimizu, whom Jolie reportedly had a brief fling with during the 90s, and Shimizu set Jolie up on blind dates. According to the source, Shimizu sent Jolie daily emails with "women to meet, from yoga instructors to goth tattoo artists." The informant concluded Jolie, “ just wanted to have no-strings fun. She wants to cut loose for over the first time in a decade. And now that the kids are older, there's no reason why she shouldn't do it!" No, Angelina Jolie Didn't Hook Up With Women, Or Anyone For That Matter. Gossip Cop busted the phony report at the time. After revisiting the article, it’s clear the story is still inaccurate. If Angelina Jolie did publicly date any women, we’re quite sure everyone would've known about it. Also, as we stated, the Wanted star's primary concern is her children amid her current divorce drama with Pitt. Plus, Gossip Cop ran the narrative by a source close to Jolie. Our reputable source told us the piece was fabricated.Additionally, this isn’t the first bogus account we’ve corrected from NW about Jolie. Two years ago, Gossip Cop busted the tabloid for alleging Jolie dated Keanu Reeves. Last June, we corrected a report from the publication for asserting Jolie's health was deteriorating. Obviously, the magazine can’t be trusted.
