Angelina Jolie's family may have added another dog to the family.The 45-year-old movie star's 12-year-old daughter Vivienne was seen carrying a small pooch inside a blue carrier when she went to visit a friend in Los Angeles on Tuesday.The family already has an English bulldog, two pugs and a Rottweiler, among other animals.Angelina kept an eye on style as she added a crisp white button down shirt with black cigarette pants that hugged her legs.And the Oscar winner wore her favorite pair of caramel colored Valentino slides that sell for almost $700.A large rectangular black purse was worn crossbody style as Jolie chatted on her cell phone while in a blue surgical mask.There was also a diamond ring on her middle finger and a gold watch on her wrist.Aviator sunglasses were perched on top of her head as she wore her long brunette hair down. Vivienne, whose father is Brad Pitt, was much more dressed down in a blue T-shirt with dark shorts and black Nike sneakers. The child's honey blonde hair was up in a relaxed ponytail. On Sunday the Maleficent actress was seen in the same V slides as she was pushing a red cart stuffed with plastic bags from Staples.This comes after the One And Only Ivan actress told E!'s Daily Pop that she loves the 'chaos' of it all with dogs running around, balls being thrown and movie nights with heaps of popcorn in her $25M Los Feliz mansion.'You know, I've never been one who valued relaxation. I like chaos,' the former model said with a laugh.'I've been on high-level meetings where there's dogs and balls and kids and things. You kind of just enjoy being human with everybody else and laughing through it.' The star sons Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, and Knox, 12, and daughters Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and Vivienne, 12, that she co-parents with ex Brad Pitt.The Salt actress said she tries to bring in 'structure' to make sure the day goes smoothly.
But it's one of her kids who is more on top of it than she is. 'My daughter Zahara is better at organizing things than I am,' she stated.The one thing they all enjoy is a good movie night.'Well, we're all there. So all six kids, my oldest son's home from Korea — lots of popcorn and just like really every family, we're just pajamas, robes, snacks,' said Jolie.he 19-year-old is taking classes online from Yonsei University in South Korea due to the COVID-19 pandemic.'He had to stay back from Korea. He's going online, and so I think he starts at 6 p.m. at night,' the ex of Val Kilmer told Extra. 'They're all together and it's a nice big bunch, so everybody's helping each other out. We're lucky,' said the daughter of Jon Voight.This comes just as she asked that the judge overseeing her divorce from Pitt be removed. Angelina filed papers on August 7 claiming that Judge Ouderkirk - who married the former couple at their French estate Château Miraval in 2014 - failed to disclose other 'business relationships' he had with Pitt's lawyers, suggesting that he would be 'biased' in their divorce case.However, Pitt, 56, has responded in papers filed on August 13, calling Jolie's filing a 'Hail Mary' - an American Football reference to deliberately delay a game - according to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE. 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.' PageSix also adds that Pitt's team called Jolie's filing 'an abrupt cry of judicial bias [that] reeks of bad faith and desperation.'She responded by saying she just wants what is fair. The former power couple split in 2016, effectively ending a 12-year relationship and two years of marriage.

Angelina Jolie looked like an average American mother as she picked up school supplies with her 12-year-old daughter Vivienne in Los Angeles on Sunday.The 45-year-old Maleficent actress was seen pushing a red cart stuffed with plastic bags from Staples.But unlike most moms, the beauty was head-to-toe in designer wear as she modeled a black off-the-shoulder dress and a pair of Valentino slides that sell for almost $700. Jolie also added sand beige Valentino slides, which have been the rage this summer among the one percent.The UN Goodwill Ambassador pulled her brunette hair back in a low bun and wore dark eye makeup along with a black mask.There was also a diamond ring on her middle finger and a purse hanging from her shoulder as she wore gold earrings.Vivienne, whose father is Brad Pitt, was much more dressed down in a grey shirt that had a print on the front as well as dark shorts and Tom's sneakers.The child's honey blonde hair was up in a relaxed ponytail.Jolie seemed to be in a good mood as she made her way past a bodyguard and into a waiting SUV.This comes after the One And Only Ivan actress told E!'s Daily Pop that she loves the 'chaos' of it all with dogs running around, balls being thrown and movie nights with heaps of popcorn in her $25M Los Feliz mansion.'You know, I've never been one who valued relaxation.

She's been a public figure for decades and has starred in multiple popular films.Yet Angelina Jolie says only her children know her true self in a recent interview with Extra.The 45-year-old actress opened up about people's expectations of her while speaking about her new film The One And Only Ivan.Angelina voices an aging elephant named Stella in the film which was released directly to Disney+ on Thursday.Sam Rockwell voices a captive 400lb gorilla who learns to make his own art while working in a circus owned by Mack (Bryan Cranston), but when a baby elephant arrives he tries to free her.Angelina was interested in the story after her daughter Shiloh, 14, first read it.'Well, Shiloh read the book and we started reading it together and talked about Ivan and why Ivan was so special,' she explained.Angelina delved into the moral of the film, which her costar Brooklyn Prince said was about the importance of keeping promises.'I think a lot of people can also relate to that. Where there's expectations on them to be what people assume they are and they don't often have the friends or freedom to express who they really are... and be that person.'The Tomb Raider actress found a connection with her own life in the film's message.'I'm pretty much who I am because I don't know how to be anything else… but if you asked me, "Do I think people really know me as who I really am?"

How Angelina Jolie Ended Up Playing an Elephant: Inside the Casting of 'The One and Only Ivan'

Who would have guessed that one of the most emotional performances of the year would come from an elephant voiced by Angelina Jolie? And yet, you will no doubt find yourself getting a bit misty as a particularly poignant pachyderm named Stella delivers a monologue about the power of memory in Disney+'s latest offering, The One and Only Ivan.The movie is adapted from Katherine Applegate's Newbery Medal-winning children's book -- itself based on a true story of the real-life Ivan -- about a 400-pound gorilla living in captivity at a shopping mall and grappling with questions of where he comes from and where he truly belongs. It's there at the Big Top Mall that Ivan learns about the importance of friendship and the power of visualization, largely through Stella's speeches beautifully penned by screenwriter Mike White."I wasn't really looking to do a kid's movie," says White, who is better known for adult fare like Beatriz at Dinner and Enlightened, though he also scripted The Emoji Movie. "But someone sent me the book and it packed so much more of a punch than I was expecting. It was such a complex, melancholy and poetic book for something that was meant for kids."Unbeknownst to White, Jolie had a similar read on it. Her daughter, Shiloh, recommended The One and Only Ivan to her and, after reading it, Jolie began inquiring whether a film was in the works. She signed on both as a voice actor and a producer. "I tried to push it to stay as true to the book as possible," Jolie tells ET. "I think it's very, very special, especially with the environmental issues -- the destruction of these natural habitats and poaching -- and we have young people who are activists now and are aware of these issues." "Angelina really wanted to make sure that we were getting the pain of the characters -- that they are in a prison, in a sense -- and making sure that we are being honest emotionally about what that means," White says. "And I was glad to have her advocating for that." He chuckles, "At the same time, it's a heavy theme, and you realize you're making this for young kids. I remember when I was a kid watching Bambi's mother die and being inconsolable and not being able to move forward. So, you've got to remember that this is for kids."
The One and Only Ivan finds a dose of comedic relief and a plethora of tender moments in its ensemble of circus animals: There is, of course, the gorilla artiste Ivan (voiced by Sam Rockwell), and his best friend, Bob the dog (Danny DeVito), along with Snickers the poodle (Helen Mirren), Murphy the bunny (Ron Funches) and a baseball-playing chicken called Henrietta (the legendary Chaka Khan).The final role to fill was that of Frankie the perpetually anxious seal, who is voiced by White himself. "I have a feeling it was Thea just sitting there like, 'Who's good to be a neurotic obsessive?' Then looks across the desk at me like, 'Well, we got it right here.'" Considering White started working on the script some six years ago, there was no way for him to know who would eventually bring each animal to life. He credits the director, Thea Sharrock, with the seamless voice casting. "Of course, there's always a period once you get the actors to adjust for them and let them bring their own stuff to it," White says.Like, for instance, when Henrietta coos, "Ain't nobody love you better," a line clearly inspired by her voice actor. "We played around with some of the iconography with Chaka," White confirms. (With a laugh, he adds: "I feel weird calling her Chaka. Ms. Khan? I don't know.") Sharrock also had her actors record their dialogue in groups together to promote collaboration."Normally you're on your own with the director, but it made a huge difference," Mirren says of recording with DeVito and Rockwell. "All three of us were in the room together, and you can play off each other. You can improvise. You can laugh at each other -- because Sam and Danny were always making me laugh.""Yeah, it was great. I didn't know that, you know, so I didn't wear pants the first day," DeVito jokes.Jolie, meanwhile, recorded with young co-star Brooklynn Prince, who voices the Big Top Mall's newcomer, a baby elephant named Ruby. "I said, 'Hey, why don't we wear elephant onesies in ADR?'" Prince recalls. "And she was like, 'Sure.' So, I go home and I'm like, 'Mom, please buy me and Angie elephant onesies!' And my mom was like, 'I'm buying an elephant onesie for Angelina Jolie?!' And on the day, Angie shows up and she pulls out her elephant onesie and we rocked them the rest of the day." "How can you say no to that?" Jolie grins.
