Oscar winner Angelina Jolie treated three of her six children to a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday night.The 43-year-old actress-turned-humanitarian paid special attention to her daughter Vivienne Marcheline as they ate a the sushi bar.At one point, the Mon Guerlain brand ambassador affectionately embraced and held her French-born 10-year-old with estranged husband #3, Brad Pitt.Vivienne's twin brother Knox Léon sat to Angelina's left while her 14-year-old son Pax Thien - whom she adopted from Vietnam in 2007 - was glued to his cell phone. Jolie - who relies on stylist Jen Rade - was dressed way down in a cozy grey sweater, black skinny jeans, and knee-high boots.The Maleficent stunner wore minimal make-up for the outing and she scraped her signature brunette locks into a fuss-free bun.Missing from the family meal was the Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees' 17-year-old son Maddox, 13-year-old daughter Zahara, and 12-year-old daughter Shiloh.According to The Blast, child custody evaluator Dr. Stan Katz submitted his evaluations on Brangelina's blended brood to LA Superior Court on October 8 - bringing the exes closer to a permanent custody order.This, after TMZ reported in August that the judge criticized Angelina for 'not allowing the children to properly interact' with the 54-year-old Oscar-winning producer, whom she separated from in 2016.Pitt's temporary custodial arrangement entitles him to visit his children for 'no less than four hours every other day on school days and 12 hours every other day on non-school days.'Last week, Jolie wrapped her role as a blonde Victorian woman called Rose on the Los Angeles set of Brenda Chapman's Come Away, which is a prequel to the stories of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. The children's adventure fantasy flick also features David Oyelowo, Michael Caine, Derek Jacobi, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.'I'm filming a Peter Pan prequel next called Come Away. The kids love the connection with Great Ormond Street children's hospital, which owns the rights to Peter Pan,' the former Hollywood wild child told Hello! earlier this month.'I think first of my family when I'm deciding to take a job, like any parent. [My next film] The One and Only Ivan is a book that Shiloh loved and brought to me, and that's when I joined the development of the film years ago. 'Shi has a sanctuary for wounded elephant and rhino in her name in Namibia and my character in the film, Stella the elephant, calls sanctuaries "where humans make amends."'

Angelina Jolie was just like every other mom on Monday afternoon as she cheered on her daughter Vivienne during her karate graduation.The iconic actress was spotted near her home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles flashing a megawatt smile with her 10-year-old daughter.Camera's spotted the 43-year-old enjoying a day with Vivienne as her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 54, gets closer to the finish line.According to a new report from The Blast, Dr. Stan Katz, who is the couple's court appointed child custody evaluator, recently submitted documents indicating that the official evaluations are commencing.A judge will use the results from Dr. Katz's evaluation to finalize a custody agreement between the estranged couple.Custody woes didn't seem to be impacting Angelina's day on Monday, however, as she looked elated with Vivienne.The star reportedly chatted with fellow parents and mingled at the event. At one point, the Lara Croft star stepped away with her coffee in hand to make a few phone calls.Brad Pitt did not appear to be in attendance at the event. Perpetually chic, the A-lister wore all an all-black ensemble. The five foot seven beauty donned a silk pair of wide leg black trousers, a plain black shirt and a flowing black shawl with a pair of heeled pumps.The Salt star kept her brunette hair down and sported a large pair of black sunglasses.She smiled broadly as she walked out of the ceremony with her daughter Vivienne who wore flip flips and was still in the white pants that are part of a traditional karate uniform.On top Vivienne, had on a baggy grey T-shirt and had her sandy blonde hair, that looks to be the same shade as her father's, cut into a short bob.Angelina and Vivienne share a unique mother-daughter bond because the pair worked on the Disney film Maleficent together.In 2014, Jolie was playing the title villain in the film and, according to the star, she was so scary in costume that only Vivienne would go near her.
In the film, Vivienne ended up playing young Aurora.'We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all,' Jolie told EW at the time.She added: 'But the other 3- and 4-year-old [performers] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.' Vivienne, along with her twin brother Knox, are the youngest of the Jolie-Pitt brood.All together, the couple share six children. In addition to Vivienne and Knox, they have Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13 and Shiloh, 12.Brad and Angelina were Hollywood's former mega-couple for years before splitting up in 2016.The celebrities had been together for over a decade after meeting on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and falling for each other while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.Things between the couple quickly soured after their split, particularly over the custody of their children.Last month, the couple seemed ready to put aside their differences and set up a clandestine meeting at home to discuss the kids.Eldest son Maddox, according to a judge, is old enough to choose which parent to live with. He turns 18 next summer. According to a source that spoke with ET, 'Brad and Angelina actually set up a secret meeting at her house. It’s the first time they have truly gotten together to make things work since their group therapy with the children.'

Most of the upcoming fantasy film Come Away was filmed in the UK.But on Saturday star Angelina Jolie was spotted before she shot one of the last scenes of the movie in Los Angeles, dressed in a full length Victorian-style black dress and a blonde bouffant hairdo.It turned out, Saturday was the last day of filming.Two other photos show the former Mrs. Brad Pitt in her street cloths as she hurried along with her new blonde tresses still intact.A third picture shows co-star David Oyelowo arriving on the set.'Our film COME AWAY is now in the can! Can’t wait to share this magical reimagining of Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan with you all,' Oyelowo said afterwards in the caption of an Instagram photo that showed him with cast and crew members.In the selfie, Oyelowo flashed a big grin as he tried to fit as many faces as he could into the frame.While everyone seemed to be dressed in modern 2018 garb, Jolie stood out like someone from the 1800s with her voluminous blond locks and dress that covered her from head to toe.Stylists had her tresses parted off her chiseled face but added some little tendrils of curls to flow down both sides of her face. Last week, the actress was spotted in another regal costume while on set in Los Angeles.Her character Rose's signature blonde bouffant was adorned with a rust color flower and her burnt orange gown flowed behind her as she headed to shoot a scene. The fantasy drama is a retooling of two classic children's tales, Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland.Angelina and Oyelowo play Rose and Jack, respectively, who are the parents of Peter and Alice.
Come Away has a darker overtone than the cartoon versions of the stories where Peter and Alice work to help their parents overcome the death of one of their children.However, the fantasy drama will still take viewers through the looking glass and to Neverland .The Maleficent star has been busy juggling several projects as she and ex-husband Brad Pitt, 54, continue their ongoing custody battle over their children. Last month the couple reportedly met for a secret meeting after a particularly tense few months in their divorce proceedings.'Brad and Angelina actually set up a secret meeting at her house. It’s the first time they have truly gotten together to make things work since their group therapy with the children,' a source told ET in September.'Brad and Angie’s meeting was a success. They are going to stay with the plan set forth through the courts,' the insider continued.'Angelina decided it was time to try to make things work and Brad was relieved and very ready for the offer. The former mega-star couple - who split in 2016 after a decade together - share six children: Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10.
