Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are heading to trial next month for a courtroom showdown in their bitter custody battle.The two Hollywood stars are set to duke it out in court, according to TMZ Monday, with December 4 set as the date for the start of a custody trial. They were reported to have reached an interim custody agreement regarding their six children in late summer. But negotiations appear to have broken down, and next month, the couple will ask a judge to rule on the custody battle over their six children, as well as their shared property, after it was revealed they had no prenup. The celebrity exes have filed paperwork in Los Angeles asking to be given until next June to hash out the details of their split with the help of a retired private judge.The proceedings will take place behind closed doors with Jolie seeking sole custody of the children while Pitt wants shared custody.The two, met on the set of the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, married in an intimate ceremony on August 23, 2014 in Correns, France, and separated in September 2016. They share Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.The private judge will also oversee the division of property as part of the divorce settlement since Pitt and Jolie didn't have a prenup.Meanwhile, Jolie, 43, has been in South Korea where she was seen taking son Maddox to visit a university in Seoul and then eating out at a local restaurant with son Pax. Pitt, 54, is currently in Los Angeles where he is filming the new Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.At the weekend he teamed up with his co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in a video urging people to get out and vote in the midterm elections on Tuesday.And on Sunday night, he brushed shoulders with his fellow stars as he presented a trophy at the Hollywood Film Awards.
In July 2017, Angelina addressed the split in an interview with Vanity Fair.She revealed that 'things got bad' between the two, adding that 'It's just been the hardest time, and we're just kind of coming up for air.'On the time with her kids after the split, Angelina says she's been trying to 'be really good at just being a homemaker and picking up dog poop and cleaning dishes and reading bedtime stories.'In September 2016, there was an alleged 'altercation' that involved Brad 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.Angelina also told the magazine that her and her estranged husband 'care for each other and care for our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.'Angelina also divulged her feelings about's Brad Pitt's explosive GQ Style interview.When asked if she was surprised, the star simply said 'no.'During the candid chat in 2017, Brad compared his split from Angelina Jolie to 'a death', admitting that he is an emotional 'retard' whose heavy drinking helped ruin his marriage.He said he had since become tee-total, is in therapy and says his family has been 'ripped apart', conceding: 'I hit the lottery and I still would waste my time on those hollow pursuits.'He told GQ Style magazine that the split was 'self-inflicted' and when asked if the last few months had felt like he was grieving a death, he simply replied: 'Yeah.'The Fight Club star has quit alcohol since the incident, admitting it had become a 'problem' during his life with Angelina, adding: 'Truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good.
The actress, who is the daughter of Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, said that she doesn't want to show too much emotion in front of the kids.Explaining that: 'I was worried about my mother, growing up—a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.'Adding: 'I think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right even when you’re not sure it is.'The Golden Globe winner recalled a conversation she had with her son Knox, where she joked that he needs to 'pretend to be normal.'Angelina said that Knox told her '"Who wants to be normal? We're not normal. Let's never be normal.'' Thank you - yes! We're not normal. Let's embrace being not normal!'She said her kids were 'very brave' - 'in times they needed to be' and that everyone is 'healing from the events that led to the filing...'However the director clarified and said 'they're not healing from the divorce. They're healing from some...from life, from things in life.'Angelina gushed about her kids, calling them 'strong-minded, thoughtful, worldly' and that's she 'very proud of them.'

Angelina Jolie to adopt orphan baby from Syria

ANGELINA Jolie is set to adopt an orphan baby from war-torn Syria as a "single mom" say friends. The American actress and estranged husband Brad Pitt had intended to rescue a refugee child together before announcing their split two years ago.But now the Maleficent star, 43, intends to go it alone - even though the couple are still battling over custody of the six children they already have.A source close to Angelina confirmed: "She has always wanted to help an infant from that region and saw no reason why she shouldn't start the adoption ball rolling by herself."Brad admires the fact that divorce is not deterring her from completing the plan they had together. He thinks it's a bold move - and he's promised to support her every step of the way."Earlier this month, child psychologist Stan Katz told Los Angeles Superior Court that an official custody evaluation has already begun over their children: biological Shiloh, 12, 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne and adopted Maddox, 17, Pax, 14 and Zahara, 13.They will all be individually interviewed by social workers and attorney Jim Fedalen, an expert in California family law, declared: "They are having their say and what they say could have enormous sway over the court's decision."
Angelina is still pressing for full primary custody with agreed visitation rights for actor Brad, 54, who has said he is "heartbroken" at being separated from their brood for protracted periods.The children could be welcoming a new sibling soon if Angelina's request to adopt another child is accepted by authorities.Her friend said: "She is hoping she'll be able to fast-track the process. In her role as a UN goodwill ambassador, Angelina has seen for herself the nightmarish fate of so many refugees. She has toured orphanages in neighbouring countries and has privately cried over so many children losing their parents."The timing doesn't bother her one bit; she's determined to push ahead with this despite everything else that is happening with her and Brad's other youngsters."

Jennifer Aniston Caught In Fake News Linking Angelina Jolie To Justin Theroux

Jennifer Aniston is now caught in a wave of fake news stories that are wrongly linking Angelina Jolie to Justin Theroux romantically. It all began with a tabloid report that’s already been proven to be untrue. Still, a number of outlets are regurgitating the phony premise that Aniston and Brad Pitt‘s exes are dating without bothering to fact-check the claim. And to make matters worse, they’re profiting off the lie. It all began on Wednesday when a completely untrue Life & Style cover story hit newsstands, maintaining Jolie is dating Theroux and Aniston will be “devastated when she finds out.” Gossip Cop actually quickly debunked that made-up narrative, which is why respectable outlets didn’t repeat the fabricated report. A source close to Jolie, on condition on anonymity, assured us the tale about the Oscar-winning actress and “The Leftovers” star going out on dinner dates in New York was pure fiction. Meanwhile, Theroux’s rep, speaking on his behalf, told Gossip Cop on the record that the tabloid’s article was 100 percent “false.” It’s also the same magazine Gossip Cop exposed when it ran covers that wrongly asserted Jolie and Pitt got back together. That was followed by an entirely ludicrous front page report about Jolie getting married to husband number four. Mind you, it’s the same publication that staked its reputation as well on a bogus cover contending Theroux was dating Selena Gomez. Gossip Cop was the first to rightly bust each of those articles and dozens of others about Aniston, Theroux, Jolie and Pitt.
We don’t post articles until we’ve contacted several people related to the claims and have come to a determination. Conversely, outlets such as Celebrity Insider seem to rarely if ever fact-check reports, and instead appear to often just either cut-and-paste concocted articles published elsewhere or spin new angles to them. What’s worse is somehow that site is being rewarded with traffic and presumably revenue for throwing up fake news stories.In this particular case, Celebrity Insider posted two phony articles about the topic within hours of each other. One has the headline, “Angelina Jolie Is Reportedly Eyeing A Relationship With Jennifer Aniston’s Ex-Husband After Brad Pitt Divorce,” while the other is titled, “Angelina Jolie Secretly Dating Justin Theroux? This Could Be Jennifer Aniston’s Worst Nightmare.” In neither of those pieces does the blog mention having contacted anyone connected at all to Jolie, Theroux, or Aniston. Both tales are simply rooted in the already discredited Life & Style cover story from earlier in the week.And this is not an outlier. Just a few weeks ago, Gossip Cop shot down a fake news story from that website, which absurdly alleged Aniston and Theroux were getting back together. We also nailed the blog when it posted a work of fiction about Pitt turning to Aniston to navigate his divorce from Jolie. As opposed to those fabricated reports, in every single one of our pieces, we had on-the-record comments. Unfortunately, if you search for articles about Aniston, you might likely end up with manufactured nonsense, which is why if you want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, come directly to Gossip Cop.

Brad Pitt: How He’d Feel About Talking To Angelina Jolie Again — ‘She Misses Him’

Is Brad Pitt receptive to the idea that Angelina Jolie ‘misses’ him & wants to talk? A source close to Brad set the record straight EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife! After a source close to Angelina Jolie told us that she was “fighting the urge” to reach out to Brad Pitt, we wondered what Brad would think about that. Now, a source close to Pitt told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that he definitely does not want to contact her. “Brad has no desire at all to chat to Angelina,” our source said. “They talk very occasionally, but only about the children, and only when it is absolutely necessary, other than that all communication is through their attorneys. Brad just wants this whole nightmare to be over and done with so he can move on with his life and put it all behind him.” When it comes down to it, their moment together has come and gone. “At one time, Brad was the happiest he has ever been in his life when he was with Angelina,” our source went on to say. “They had the kids, and they had this amazing life together, and he honestly thought they would be together forever. But, clearly he was mistaken, and Brad is the first to hold his hand up and take responsibility for the part he played in the demise of their relationship, but Angelina isn’t blameless, as much as she loves to play the victim in all of this.” And from here on out, Brad is completely focused on what lies ahead of him, not what came before. “There’s no point in looking backwards though,” our source added. “The past is the past, and Brad has no desire to go there again. He’s over it; He’s finally found closure from their breakup; He’s looking forward to the future now, and that future most definitely does not include Angelina Jolie.”
