              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.

          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?'

       Their high-profile split has been full of drama.And it seems that tensions may once again be ramping up between celebrity exes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.Relations between the former couple who share six children have deteriorated to the point where they are no longer engaging in family therapy ahead of a custody trial slated for next month, UsWeekly reported Thursday.'Tensions have escalated between Brad and Angelina, with family therapy no longer taking place,' a source exclusively told Us Weekly. Pitt and Jolie had appeared to reach a cordial understanding about co-parenting their kids, with the Once upon A Time... In Hollywood actor spotted leaving the actress' LA home in June after spending time with the children.However, UsWeekly claims they are now at odds again over how much time they each get with Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Eldest child Maddox, 19, is allowed to choose his own timetable and is rumored to no longer have any contact with his father. 'Brad wants 50/50 joint physical and legal custody of the kids. Angelina has been unagreeable to those terms,' a source told UsWeekly.The insider added that Jolie 'will only agree to talk about an agreement if the home base for the children isn't Los Angeles. The younger kids are in school in Los Angeles, which Angelina has always been opposed to.' It's previously been suggested that Jolie wants to relocate to the UK and base the children with her there.DailyMail.com has reached out representatives for Pitt and Jolie seeking comment.Pitt and Jolie - who enjoyed the moniker Brangelina during their time together - separated in September 2016 when the Maleficent star filed for divorce following an incident aboard a private jet involving son Maddox and Pitt.The two had met on the set of the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith that was released in June 2005.Several months before the movie's debut, Pitt and then wife Jennifer Aniston had announced they were separating after five years of marriage, with the Friends star subsequently filing for divorce in March 2005.On January 11, 2006, Jolie finally confirmed the romance with Pitt when she confirmed she was pregnant with his child.Their daughter Shiloh was born in Namibia in May 2006 and two years later, in July 2008, the couple welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne, who were born in Nice, in the south of France.
       In early 2006, Pitt also officially adopted Jolie's adopted son Maddox, born in Cambodia, and daughter Zahara, born in Ethiopia. In 2007, they adopted son Pax who is from Vietnam. On August 23, 2015, the couple officially wed at Château Miraval, their estate in Provence, saying at the time that they had made their union legal for the sake of their children.Fast forward five years, and the pair, who were declared legally single last year, have still not been able to finalize terms regarding custody and support of the children.The reports of renewed friction between the exes come after Pitt, 56, visited Château Miraval at the end of August with rumored new girlfriend, German model Nicole Poturalski, 27.He and Jolie had purchased the estate including the Château and vineyard in 2011 for $60 milljon after leasing it for three years. 'Taking Nicole to Miraval on their former wedding anniversary, Brad knows exactly what he is doing and the reaction it's going to get from Angelina,' a source told UsWeekly at the time. 'He just doesn't care if Angelina is going to lash out. He expects she will.'Britain's The Mirror reported that Jolie, 45, was 'furious and utterly stunned Brad could stoop this low.' Pitt and Poturalski, who is married with a son, were spotted arriving in the south of France on a private jet.'They were kissing and Brad was being super attentive to her,' a source told OK! magazine.'He was in a semi public place but didn’t seem to mind people seeing him. She’s a real beauty and obviously a lot younger than him.' It's believed that the pair may have been dating for the best part of a year, as they both attended a performance of Kanye West's opera Nebuchadnezzar at the Hollywood Bowl in November 2019.The model, who is currently signed to Next Management in Los Angeles and A Management in Germany, is married to Berlin-based restaurateur Roland Mary, 68, with whom she's allegedly in an open relationship. Meanwhile, a trial has been scheduled for October in Los Angeles where a judge will adjudicate on the child custody and support issues that remain unresolved between Jolie and Pitt. The two had previously signed off on the appointment of retired Superior Court Judge John W. Ouderkirk to oversee the proceedings; he had presided over their marriage in 2014.
       However, last month, Jolie requested he be removed from the case claiming she feared he would be 'biased' against her because he had failed to disclose an existing relationship between himself and Pitt's lawyers.Pitt's legal team accused 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.  Ouderkirk denied Jolie's request that he recuse himself, stating that he is within his rights to continue working as the celebrity divorce continues to drag on and declaring that he can and will be impartial.The fairytale romance between Jolie and Pitt had come to an end in September 2016.There was an alleged 'altercation' that involved Pitt and Maddox aboard a private jet that was heading from Nice, France to Los Angeles, California; after they landed, Angelina 'kicked him out,' according to Vanity Fair.Brad was cleared of any wrongdoing but the stage had been set for a very acrimonious divorce.Jolie filed legal documents straightaway and sought custody of the six children. Pitt countered by asking for joint custody. In August 2018, the divorce battle between the pair exploded in public with Jolie accusing her ex of being a deadbeat dad and Pitt revealing he has paid millions of dollars to the actress including money to buy a new home in LA.A judge overseeing the case previously cautioned Jolie for allegedly not helping the kids have a relationship with Pitt and threatening to reduce her time with them. The two reached an interim custody agreement and have engaged in family therapy since then as they seek to find a way forward.
