Angelina Jolie Feels Hated By Hollywood?

          Angelina Jolie feels like all of Hollywood hates her after her latest film underperformed at the box office? That’s the silly claim from one of the tabloids. Gossip Cop looked into the story and found it untrue.NW published the story under the headline, “Ange: ‘Hollywood Hates Me.’” The tabloid argues that after she “came out second best” in her divorce from Brad Pitt, the actress is now worried that her “campaign to bury” him has backfired and damaged her reputation. Citing a totally anonymous “insider,” the outlet says that the actress is “reeling” after Maleficent: Mistress of Evil had what’s called a “paltry” opening of $36.9 million, leaving Jolie wondering if moviegoing audiences have turned on her for “taking Brad down after their split.”“The film has been a spectacular flop,” the alleged source says. “She’s left wondering if Hollywood still considers her bankable — especially since Brad had such an incredible showing with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It’s left Angie a basket case!” Why would Jolie suddenly fear being disliked when she’s on the record as saying that she doesn’t care what anyone says about her? “I never expect to be the one that everybody understands or likes,” Jolie told the New York Times in 2017, “and that’s O.K., because I know who I am, and the kids know who I am.” That being said, that isn’t the only question that goes unanswered in this piece.How exactly did Jolie come out worse in the divorce? What exactly goes into a “campaign” to bury an ex? And perhaps most bafflingly, how in the world is the Maleficent sequel a “spectacular flop” after grossing more than $430 million worldwide in less than a month and taking the number one spot at the box office for two weekends in a row? The tabloid conveniently leaves out the answers to these questions for the simple fact that it doesn’t have them. The outlet’s “source” merely throws out baseless accusations without any hint of credibility.
          This is just one of several pieces that uses a made-up “campaign” or “competition” involving Jolie and Pitt to try and attract readers’ attention.Just last month, Gossip Cop called out the National Enquirer for an extremely similar and just as fictional story about Jolie being jealous of Pitt’s success and finding herself “alone” in Hollywood after she “poured so much dark energy into this dirty divorce.” Claiming that Jolie is the “bad guy” in the divorce is clearly just an easy narrative for the tabloids, despite the fact it’s not accurate.Furthermore, it’s ridiculous to accuse Jolie of being box office poison. Although the Maleficent sequel didn’t quite hit its expected numbers, many critics praised Jolie’s performance. No legitimate outlet would even consider blaming the actress for the film’s flaws or box office performance, especially for a sequel made five years after the original installment. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil won’t go down as a major hit, but it’s far from a “spectacular flop.” The magazine also leaves out the fact that Jolie has a number of projects in the works, with four currently in production and more on deck. One of these projects is Marvel’s Eternals, part of the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — also known as one of the most profitable and bankable franchises in existence. Jolie has been the face of the film for most of its pre-release publicity, something that wouldn’t happen if there really was any reason to question her effect on the box office or status in Hollywood.Also left out of this latest piece is any mention of the tabloid’s previous claims about Jolie and Pitt. Just last month, it incorrectly stated that Jolie was on a hunger strike to protest a custody ruling that allowed Pitt to visit his children. This summer, the tabloid “reported” that Jolie and Pitt’s daughter Shiloh had “escaped” her mom to live with her dad. Not only were both of those claims untrue, but they reveal the tabloid’s recurring theme of painting Jolie as a villain. This ongoing saga just isn’t correct.

Angelina Jolie Has Reportedly Been on a “Few Dates” Amid Her "Messy" Divorce from Brad Pitt

             But don't expect her to get married again.ngelina Jolie is officially moving on. The 44-year-old actress "has been on a few dates," a source told Us Weekly—but, the insider adds, "nothing serious" has blossomed for Angie in the romance department. Yet, anyway."She isn’t closed to the idea of meeting someone new, but it’s not her main priority," the source explained. "She’s all about focusing on the kids, her job, and cleaning up her messy divorce." Jolie and her ex, Brad Pitt, have only been legally single since April 2019, but announced their separation in 2016, after two years of marriage and more than a decade as partners and co-parents. The divorce may have been "messy," and is still being settled, but the exes have at least reached a custody agreement when it comes to co-parenting their six children—Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.While the Us Weekly source says that Jolie will "get back to the dating scene, without a doubt" once her divorce is finalized, another source recently told the outlet that the actress "will never get married again." The source added, "She felt that Brad pressured her into getting married, and it was something that she never wanted to do." That pressure might have led to feelings of "resentment" toward her ex, according to another of Us Weekly's sources close to the actress. Jolie "wants him to be held accountable because she feels he turned her and the children’s lives upside down," per the insider.On a similar note, during her interview for the December 2019/January 2020 issue of Harper's BAZAAR, Jolie was asked to describe a time she and her family "butted up" against "unspoken societal limits.""I would love to live abroad and will do so as soon as my children are 18," the actress admitted, before adding that her custody agreement with Pitt made the move impossible until then. "Right now I'm having to base where their father chooses to live."Jolie also opened up about finding herself again in recent years during her BAZAAR interview."The part of us that is free, wild, open, curious can get shut down by life. By pain or by harm," she said. "My children know my true self, and they have helped me to find it again and to embrace it. They have been through a lot. I learn from their strength. As parents, we encourage our kids to embrace all that they are, and all that they know in their hearts to be right, and they look back at us and want the same for us." It certainly sounds like Angelina Jolie is finding all of the strength she needs to move forward with every aspect of her life—not that we'd ever expect anything different.

Angelina Jolie Developing Romance With Stuntman On Set Of ‘Eternals’?

          Angelina Jolie is not developing a romance with one of the stunt performers working on Marvel’s Eternals, contrary to one tabloid’s claims. Gossip Cop looked into the rumor. It’s all nonsense.Woman’s Day alleges that Jolie is “smitten” with a stuntman on the set of her latest film. Citing a “showbiz insider,” the tabloid says the actress is “enjoying a blossoming relationship” with Xavier Lake, one of the stunt performers for Eternals. “It’s put a huge smile on her face,” the supposed source says. “There’s an undeniable spark between them!”The alleged insider goes on to say that the two bonded over Lake’s support of the #crewmatter movement, which was started after a stunt performer was injured on set and had to fight for compensation after an avoidable accident. This support appealed to Jolie’s humanitarian nature, the tabloid asserts. “Also,” the source adds, “she was taken aback by how handsome he is.”Jolie is said to be so taken with Lake that she gushes about him in the morning to the various makeup artists on set, saying that he makes getting up for work easier and complimenting his work on the Netflix show Top Boy. The insider even claims that Lake’s become familiar with Jolie’s children. “He showed them some basic stunt moves and Knox, in particular, was incredibly impressed by Xavier’s skills, despite Ange asking him not to put any ideas into his head!”“It’s been a long time since Ange has felt a deep connection to anyone and while she’s dabbled in dating, it’s not felt right,” the questionable tipster tells the magazine. “At times, she’s admitted to feeling so lonely, she’s wondered if she’d ever fall in love again.” Although the actress is “not rushing into anything,” the source says, “she’s enjoyed having that chemistry and excitement rush again. Her bond with Xavier has re-installed an inner confidence which she lost for a long time.” “With her divorce from Brad still not finalized and the custody situation continuing, she’s unsure about starting something serious,” the so-called “insider” concludes. “But for now, she’s going with it and enjoying the smile Xavier is putting back on her face.”
          It’s surprising that the tabloid describes Jolie as having given up hope of finding love and only dabbling in dating again when, just a few months ago, it was adamant that Jolie wanted Keanu Reeves to co-star in Eternals so she could start a romance with him on set. Of course, that story also contradicted the magazine’s October claims about Jolie actively considering Johnny Depp as her next romantic target. Either way, it’s clear that the tabloid’s inconsistent “sources” just aren’t able to provide factual insight. An individual in Jolie’s camp assures us she’s not developing a relationship with anyone on the set of Eternals.Additionally, this isn’t the first time Jolie and Lake have worked on the same project. According to IMDb, Lake was also a stunt performer on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which the tabloid neglects to mention. Why would Jolie just now be taken aback by his looks or personality if the two were in similar positions just last year?Gossip Cop can also track down the inspiration for the magazine’s comments about the two bonding over #crewmatter. Lake reposted an explanatory #crewmatter post from Olivia Jackson, the stunt performer whose injury kicked off the movement in the first place. Another one of the stunt performer’s posts refer to his work on Top Boy. It seems as though the magazine simply saw Lake’s name under the cast list, scanned his first few social media posts for details and concocted this story. The outlet just didn’t bother to take the next step and look into whether or not the claims made sense.

         The star was speaking exclusively to NME about her new film 'Earthquake Bird'.Alicia Vikander has stated her desire to have Angelina Jolie appear in the upcoming Lara Croft film Tomb Raider 2.The star was speaking exclusively to NME about her new film Earthquake Bird, at karaoke sessions in Tokyo with her fellow cast members and her excitement for her return as Lara Croft.'I’m actually very excited,” Vikander told NME of returning as the hero a second time round. “Ben Wheatley is directing, and Amy Jump is writing the script. It’s all gearing up now, which means I’m going to be back in London, which is fun. And the training! That’s gonna come too… I’m thrilled.”Asked about a potential cameo from Angelina Jolie in the film, Vikander said: “I wouldn’t mind! I adore Angelina, so we’ll see… We should definitely ask.”Vikander recently played the protagonist in I Am Easy To Find, the new film that accompanied the eighth record by indie rockers The National.NME recently spoke to the band’s frontman Matt Berninger and director Mike Mills about the film. “Seeing the film with Alicia, I think I started really empathising not just with her character but all of the other characters,” Berninger said. “I started to feel like I was really writing from the husband and the father. I have a 10-year-old daughter, so I started writing from that perspective. A bunch of new songs bloomed that were just inspired by the film.”Berninger continued: “Somebody asked me recently if I see the character in the film as genderless, and I said no. I don’t necessarily feel that gender is at all the point. A lot of people asked us if this record was an attempt to have more of a feminine perspective. It probably has that, but it was not necessarily what we were trying to do. It was about what a person is.“Mike decided that he wanted Alicia to embody this, but I was very much empathising a lot with that character when I was writing. Maybe that’s because I sympathise with my daughter so much and I don’t feel that separated from her fears and needs. I understand all of her anxieties because I feel like I gave them to her. I passed them on, like ‘You’re welcome’.”
