Here’s Why Angelina Jolie Turned Down A Role In ‘Charlie’s Angels’

              Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore we’re both exceptionally interested in bringing in the actress to take part in the series.Angelina Jolie has had quite the ride in the movie business, and over the years, she forged a legacy that few can come close to matching. While her marriages and her children have been the focus of media attention, Jolie has managed to put everything behind her to focus on being a talented performer and a prominent humanitarian.During the 2000s, several older television shows were being turned into films, including Charlie’s Angels. When the film was coming together, Jolie was in consideration to play a lead role in the film.So, why did Angelina Jolie pass up on such a golden opportunity? Let’s take a closer look at the finer details! One of the interesting things to note about Angelina Jolie potentially taking part in the Charlie’s Angels franchise back during the 2000s was that Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore we’re both exceptionally interested in bringing in the actress to take part in the series.When the casting of the film was taking place, Angelina Jolie was not nearly as popular as Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore were, meaning that they were going to be the ones handling the bulk load of the film.This was some thing that Angelina Jolie herself touched on saying, “Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are already celebrities, and they’ll have great fun spoofing their images in Charlie’s Angels.” It’s usually the case to see a casting director or a film director have someone in mind, but it is another thing entirely to see other members of the cast have someone in mind that they want to work with.One of the toughest things about working on set is maintaining a relationship and working professionally alongside other people, so it is cool to see that Diaz and Barrymore were both clamoring for Jolie to come on board.Eventually, the role in question would go to Lucy Liu, who wound up being such a great fit for it. Liu was able to provide a nice contrast to what Diaz in the Barrymore were bringing to the table, and it helped the spy team feel like an actual working unit as opposed to a piece of fiction. While most people in the business would take any opportunity available to star alongside prominent movie stars in what could potentially blossom into a franchise, Angelina Jolie had put a serious amount of thought into taking the role in the Charlie’s Angels film.When speaking to Film Inc. back in 1999 Angelina Jolie would open up about her decision to stay away from the Charlie’s Angels film.Jolie would say, “...the reasons to do it would be to play a tough girl, and I’ve already done that. Plus, I don’t wanna be that exposed by being in a really big movie.”

What Happened To Angelina Jolie Adopting A Seventh Child?

Written by Gossip Cop

              365 days ago a tabloid reported Angelina Jolie’s children wanted her to add another member to their family. Gossip Cop looked into the story when it came out. Here’s what we uncovered.Last year, the Globe stated Jolie was eager to adopt a seventh child after her eldest son, Maddox, left her college. According to the paper, the actress was “coaxed” by her other children, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins, Knox and Vivienne. The tabloid also quoted a source who said, "Pax and Zahara are thrilled Angie wants to adopt from a poorer country. Shiloh is all for it because she loves being a big sister already to Viv and Knox, who are also very excited,” added the insider.The magazine’s source further claimed the Girl, Interrupted star "favored picking a child from an impoverished region she's familiar with, like Syria or another part of the Middle East or Africa. The plan is to have a baby in her arms by year's end at the latest." That year would be 2019.When the story came out, Gossip Cop couldn’t find a piece of evidence to support this weird story. At the time, we checked with a more credible source close to Jolie, who assured us the story was fabricated. Additionally, Jolie has her hands full with the five children she has still living with her on top of her custody battle with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Simply put, the actress is happy with the children she has. The Globe however has constantly scrutinized the actress with malicious stories about her life.Two months ago, the paper claimed Angelina Jolie was accused of being the neighbor from hell. The outlet’s story depicted the actress as a bad mother by asserting her children were “rude and inconsiderate” of their neighbors. Gossip Cop however pointed out that the actress lives on a large estate and if her children were being rowdy, it was likely no one within the vicinity would hear it. We debunked the tabloid’s phony tale.Not too long after that piece, we busted the Globe again for alleging Jolie turned to “witchcraft” amid her custody battle against Pitt. Seriously, how ludicrous does that sound? The magazine purported the actress was using “voodoo dolls” and has a “chambers of horrors” but the “horror” was the paper’s boldness to create such a vicious and bonkers story.

Angelina Jolie makes 'very generous donation' to two six-year-old boys from east London who are raising money for Yemen by selling lemonade

          Two six-year-old boys from east London who are raising money for charity by selling lemonade have received an unexpected donation - from Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.Ayaan Moosa and Mikaeel Ishaaq, now known now as the Lemonaid Boys, from east London, created the lemonade stand in a bid to sell 'lemon for Yemen' after learning about the ongoing conflict and famine.The ongoing conflict in Yemen saw 23,000 people killed in 2019, with thousands more dead from preventable causes, including malnutrition, disease and poor health.About 80 per cent of the population - 24million people - are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection.  The pair's small act of charity exploded in their hometown of Redbridge, with people coming from all over the UK to donate to the cause.Ayaan's father, Shakil Moosa, said: 'I remember one man bought a glass of lemonade and a cake and gave £300. That was a lot.'When the media covered the stand a couple months ago, Angelina Jolie reached out to her representatives in the UK as she wanted to make a contribution and utilise her platform to bring attention to Yemen.'The dad said he could not disclose the amount the Oscar-winning star of Girl Interrupted, Tomb Raider and Maleficent gave, but said it was 'very generous'.The letter sent by the actress, who has also performed a role as a UNHCR Special Envoy, said: 'Thank you for what you and your friends are doing to help children in Yemen.'I'm sorry I'm not able to buy a lemonade from you, but I'd still like to make a donation to your stand.' Shakil said: 'We are hoping to Facetime in the next couple of weeks just so the boys can thank her. I know that next time she's in London, she's planning on popping down for a lemonade.' Shakil said the pair's drive to raise money came after he and his wife Adeela showed their son a charity video about Yemen.The 37-year-old online travel business owner said: 'My wife and I were sat at home and we'd seen some adverts and we'd been reading about the crisis in Yemen online.'I thought it would be nice to do something but also teach our son the value of charity.'We showed him an appeal charity video of Yemen and showed him the video and also wanted to get an impression of what he thought.'So many people shelter their kids but it's the next generation that needs to make a change.'He was stunned. It was the first time he realised that not everyone has food, water and a cushy home in east London.'He and his best friend love lemonade so they set up a little lemonade stand and hopefully raise a couple of hundred pounds and put it towards charity.'
          It is the reaction from young Yemeni children as they receive gifts and parcels paid for with the massive £70,000 they have already raised that has made the boys happiest.The dad said: 'The charity has gone out and taken pictures of families receiving water and parcels for us.'You should have seen the boys' faces when we showed them that, they couldn't believe that the money they had raised had done something like that.'Before he goes to sleep, Ayaan has been asking me to show him the picture of the kids receiving the parcels.'We've been talking to Unicef who also want to raise awareness about this, and they've sent messages from kids in Yemen who wanted to say thank you to our kids.'They're going to be doing some pen pal writing.'I'm so proud. It's brilliant our kids have got heart and compassion. It fills me with pride.'They're trying to make a difference. The beautiful but sad part of this is that they think they're solving the problems, but of course it's a drop in the ocean.'But I think they're doing a huge, great, wonderful thing by raising the awareness of what is going on out there.'What more could you ask for?'
