Angelina Jolie has collaborated with Amnesty International on a new book that will help young people know their rights when protesting against injustice. The UNHCR Special Envoy, 45, is keen to help 'empower' those who are trying to make a change in the world, whether that be by protesting on the streets or within their community, with the book Know Your Rights (And Claim Them). It was revealed on Wednesday that the book, which has been acquired by Anderson Press, will help children up until the age of 18 counter misinformation and let them know how to stop their rights from being violated.Angelina decided to work with the charity and Geraldine Van Bueren QC after they noticed how many young people have taken to the streets to protest about the environment, Black Lives Matter, or other issues, without knowing their rights. Speaking about the collaboration, Angelina said: 'Today we have youth engaged and ready to fight. 'But many struggle with misinformation from adults, a lack of awareness of their rights, and a lack of knowledge of how to use the specifics of their rights, applying them to the country and circumstances in which they live.'We need to give them the tools to strengthen their fight and empower them. Amnesty, Geraldine and I hope to get these books into the hands of young people, and for them to be a guide that they can carry with them and use. 'Not just to inform them, but to activate them and serve as a source of reference where needed.' The actress has written an introduction to the book which details the history of child rights and why it's important to know them, before going into the ones that young people need to be aware of and how to apply them to their daily lives. It'll focus on topics such as free speech, gender and racial equality, and health, as well as a clean climate and a sustainable environment .Not only will it act as a helpful tool for young people, Angelina and her collaborators hope it will also be a source of inspiration for those reading it. The book has been written by Amnesty International with Angelina and Geraldine serving as consultants, Geraldine worked on the 1989 UN Convention On The Rights Of The Child. As well as the main book, Geraldine will also make a shorter version known as A Pocket Book Of Rights in Spring 2022, which they hope will act as a 'passport' to young people about their rights.

$254 million were earned by the top 10 highest-paid actresses in the world.Forbes has released one of its annual lists focusing on the exuberant amount of money involved in showbiz, this one, focusing on the highest-earning actresses.The outlet noticed that because of theater closures, 2020 has been an odd year for actors' paychecks, as stars often earn bonuses based on the commercial success of a movie.Female-led films like "Black Widow" and "Wonder Woman 1984" are expected to make several hundred million dollars, if not join the billion-dollar club once they debut in theaters.Because of the year's strange circumstances, eight of the top 10 earning actresses made the bulk of their cash from TV and streaming. Of course, endorsements and licensing deals pad some of the entries' earnings.At number one is Sofia Vergara ($43 million), who wrapped up "Modern Family" this year while earning $500,000 per episode. She now works as a judge on "America's Got Talent," which pays her at least $10 million per season, the outlet reports.Angelina Jolie ($35.5 million) sits at number two as one of the only entries earning the bulk of her money from traditional films, including her big check for Marvel's upcoming "The Eternals," which was set for release this fall before the pandemic shifted release schedules.At number three is Gal Gadot ($31.5 million), having earned $20 million for filming Netflix's "Red Notice." "Wonder Woman 1984" is currently set for a December release, as is "Death on the Nile" -- both could bring in more cash for the star after their release.Melissa McCarthy ($25 million) comes in at number four. The two-time Oscar nominee pulled in big paychecks for filming HBO Max's "Superintelligence," Netflix's "Thunder Force" and NBC's "Little Big Shots." She also appears in Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid." Meryl Streep ($24 million), at number five, re-enters the list after an eight-year absence after earning an eight-figure check for Netflix's "The Prom" and at least $5 million for HBO Max's "Let Them All Talk." Not to mention, the screen legend appeared in 2019's "Little Women." At number six is Emily Blunt ($22.5 million), who joins Jolie as another star having earned money mainly from theatrical releases. She also made eight figures upfront on "A Quiet Place II" and seven figures on "Jungle Cruise." At number seven, Nicole Kidman ($22 million) joined Streep in earning eight figures for "The Prom" and will earn about $1 million per episode for her upcoming HBO miniseries "The Undoing." "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo ($19 million) comes in at number eight. The star now earns about $550,000 per episode and nets $6 million per year in syndication profits.Elisabeth Moss ($16 million) of "Handmaid's Tale" fame comes in at number nine. The actress makes $1 million per episode and "Invisible Man" made much more than expected this year.Rounding out the list at number 10 is Viola Davis. The Oscar winner earned seven figures each for "How to Get Away with Murder" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." Forbes estimates the earnings of the stars based on data obtained from Nielsen, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, which is supplemented by "interviews with industry insiders."

Keanu Reeves And Angelina Jolie Dating? That Was The Rumor

Were Keanu Reeves and Angelina Jolie a serious, low-key couple at one point? Two years ago, a tabloid stated that the John Wick star and the Maleficient actress were settling down together. Though Gossip Cop investigated the hearsay surrounding the rumor when it came out, we’re taking a look back at the story today and everything we uncovered.In 2018, it was reported by NW that Reeves and Jolie were “quietly” dating since July of 2017 following a “top-secret” trip to an isolated Greece island. The magazine stated the two met when she and Reeves’ mother became next-door neighbors. The tabloid’s insider divulged Jolie's six children “approved” of her romance with the Matrix actor and Reeves “enjoyed being around Jolie’s children.” Did Angelina And Keanu Ever Go Public? The source added Reeves "was a good influence" on the actress and possessed the qualities Jolie wanted in a man since she was “done with the drama." In regards to Reeves, NW revealed the actor was “drawn to mysterious women like Ange who have a darker side." As for why many of us didn’t hear about this illicit relationship, the outlet disclosed the two kept their romance “firmly under wrap,” even though Reeves's mom wanted the two to go public and settle down. No, Lara Croft And John Wick Never Dated.Yet, this tall tale was just that, a tale. When the report came out, Gossip Cop checked with a source close to Angelina Jolie who confirmed the story was incorrect. A year ago, we once again investigated the account to find it was still untrue. Today, our verdict remains the same. Angelina Jolie is currently embroiled in a custody and divorce battle with Brad Pitt, but the actress is also primarily just focused on raising her children. Keanu Reeves is reportedly dating Alexandra Grant who he's been linked to since 2019. If Jolie and Reeves were even remotely involved with each other, every news outlet in the world would’ve covered their alleged relationship. The Tabloids Have Been Wrong About Angelina.Moreover, this wasn’t the first bogus report we busted from NW about Jolie. Around this time last year, the same tabloid alleged Jolie was having “secret sleepovers” with Bradley Cooper. Gossip Cop debunked the story when it came out. The two were never dating, secretly or otherwise.Last November, NW claimed Jolie felt that she was hated by Hollywood. The magazine purported the actress was worried her reputation was being smeared due to her divorce from Pitt. However, Gossip Cop noted that the actress didn’t care what anyone thought of her, therefore, the tabloid’s premise was completely fabricated.
