A rep for Angelina Jolie has denied her lawyer Laura Wasser is quitting her divorce case amid claims the actress had made things too hostile.A spokesperson for the Oscar winner has revealed that the custody battle is 'entering a new phase' and Wasser will continue to be by Jolie's side.'I've spoken directly to Laura,' Jolie's spokesperson told People. 'The TMZ story is not true. She's not quitting now or in the future.'A source told the website that the 'the characterization of problems between Laura and Angie is not true.' They confirmed that Jolie is hiring another law firm but it's not to replace Wasser.'Someone is misinterpreting bringing in the experts, which is common at this point in the case,' an insider said. 'It’s entering a new phase.'A report on Saturday claimed that things are getting so ugly between Jolie and estranged husband Pitt amid their divorce that Wasser intended on quitting. Jolie, 43, is allegedly making the divorce negotiations and child custody battle very hostile and has been 'out for blood'.A source connected to Pitt, 54, told TMZ that they believe the Maleficent actress wants 'to kill any relationship he has with his kids'.They also claim that there has been a lot of screaming on Jolie's part, adding, 'She's fueled with anger and has gotten ridiculously unreasonable.'It's become so bad that the mother-of-six's lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented many divorcing celebrities over the years, is apparently going to quit and has 'made it known' to Jolie because it's become too 'venomous'.Wasser, who has worked for stars such as Ashton Kutcher during his split from Demi Moore, Heidi Klum and Seal as well as Mariah Carey amid her divorce from Nick Cannon, promotes settlements and co-parenting.TMZ claims the Wanted actress has already hired another law firm to take over when Wasser officially leaves.The duo's divorce is still rumbling on with disagreements about how much time Pitt gets with their six children; Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, Vivienne, 10 and Knox, 10.In June there were claims that the children were being 'used as pawns' amid the custody battle stemming from Jolie's September 2016 divorce filing.
Pitt was given a summer schedule to allow him to see more of the children while Jolie, who has primary physical custody, filmed Maleficent 2 in London.The actor wasn't happy that the kids were going to be away from their home in Los Angeles for so long.A source told E! news that 'Angelina has been in London and is free to travel for shorter periods of time,' as 'Brad isn't opposed to that ... but she can't leave with the kids for several months.'And it was also reported that the Fight Club star refused to allow Shiloh and Knox to appear with Jolie in her new movie, which angered the Salt beauty and added fuel to the fire.Her daughter Vivienne appeared in the first film, which came out in 2014.A source also said that Pitt and Jolie do not talk to each other at all. 'They are not on good terms and are less than civil,' it was added.In June it was revealed that Jolie had been ordered to allow Pitt more time with the kids and that she risked losing primary custody if she failed to keep to the terms of the agreement.According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County determined that 'not having a relationship with their father' would be 'harmful' to the children.Eldest child Maddox however has been able to choose how much time he wants with each parent because of his age.Additionally, the judge laid out a new cellphone policy stating Jolie must provide Pitt with the cell number of each child so he can text or call each of them at will and without Jolie monitoring the conversations.
The court went as far to state: 'If the minor children remain closed down to their father and depending on the circumstances surrounding this condition, it may result in a reduction of the time they spend with [Jolie] and may result in the Court ordering primary physical custody to [Pitt].'Jolie's spokesperson hit out at the leaking of the specific details of the custody agreement.'This misleading leak is not in the best interests of the children. From the start, Angelina has been focused only on their health and needs, which is why it was so important that this last court hearing be conducted privately,'It's deplorable that someone, for their own selfish reasons, leaked selective portions of the confidential and sealed court record to create an inaccurate and unfair picture of what is really happening.'Their current custody agreement is temporary and they will head back to court on August 13 to iron out firmer plans.Jolie and Pitt split in 2016 amid allegations of child abuse against Pitt during an incident aboard a private plane. The Troy star was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have not yet finalized their divorce and custody agreement, but a new report claims the 43-year-old Oscar winner has her eye on another Hollywood hottie. According to Radar Online, Jolie has been meeting with Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. to discuss possible film projects, and she is “crushing big time.”“Jolie idolizes Robert and finds him hilarious,” says an insider. The source added that the mom of six likes that she and Downey have similar backgrounds of being “wayward youths who carved a successful career.” During their informal meetings, the Tomb Raider star and The Avengers star have compared their Hollywood histories, in addition to talking about potential movie projects. The insider says that the two have bonded, and the fact that Downey is “so handsome” is giving Jolie butterflies. However, Downey has been happily married since 2005 to his wife, Susan, and they have two children – Avri Roel and Exton Elias.But, we all know that Jolie has a history of stealing married men from their wives. When she was filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Pitt back in 2004, she took the opportunity to snatch him away from Jennifer Aniston. “Angie knows how to get her way with most men and is probably dialing up the flirting,” reveals the source. “Unfortunately for Angie though, she’s out of luck. Robert is completely faithful to his wife, and the crush is totally one-sided.”
Even though she might be turning up the charm with Downey, BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw says that Jolie is “cold” during interviews. In September, Grimshaw will be leaving the hosting gig that he has had for six years because of falling ratings. Greg James will be replacing Grimshaw in the morning, and Grimshaw will take James’ spot in the afternoon drive time from 4 pm to 7 pm.In a recent interview, Grimshaw spilled some secrets about the celebrities he has interviewed during his time on the Breakfast Show, including some about Jolie and Men In Black star Will Smith. He said Smith was “fake nice,” and “high-fiving the receptionist” while telling her she was the “best receptionist ever.” He also told the person to “answer the phone,” which Grimshaw thought was patronizing. He says that for Smith to come into an office and tell them to answer phones was a bit self-aware. It was like he was saying that he is really famous, and you should be excited that I have acknowledged you.Grimshaw also said that Jolie was “cold,” but he surprisingly liked Kim Kardashian-West, even though he thinks her reality show is “rubbish.” He says that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wasn’t trying to be nice, but she was a sweet, pretty girl who was “airheady” and constantly taking pics of herself.Angelina Jolie has not commented on the rumors surrounding her love life since announcing her split from Brad Pitt.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has had enough of her parents' rules, Star magazine has today claimed, reporting that the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is turning the tables on her famous parents. The 12-year-old has stayed close with her mother and tight-knit siblings - Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 9, ever since the Hollywood couple's shock split in 2016. A Star source claims that Shiloh, who's been living with Angelina, 'has had enough of being moved city to city and unable to see her dad - she's begging to live with Brad full-time!' Life after their split hasn't been easy for Brad, 54, who spent much of his time away from his kids after his alleged fight with Maddox on their private plane. Angelina claimed a divorce filing was 'for the the health of the family.' Sources tell Star that Angelina has been making 'questionable' parenting choices.'She has good intentions, and in her mind she's doing everything she can to put the kids first,' the source says. 'But while she's been dragging them around the world, she's also been keeping them from their father.' Angelina's parenting choices have reportedly 'taken their toll' on Shiloh, who made a not-so-subtle statement in Paris by leaving her dad's initials off a 'love locket' with the rest of the family. Luckily for Shiloh, a judge ruled that 'the children not having a relationship with their father is harmful' - and ordered Angelina to hand over more visitation time. 'Shiloh has a mind of her own,' a friend spilled to Star, 'and now she's started speaking up, she has no intention of stopping.'

Angelina Jolie Reflects on 23rd Anniversary of Bosnian Genocide: 'Time Cannot Diminish the Pain'

Angelina Jolie is remembering the victims of the Bosnian genocide in 1995 that killed over 8,000 Muslim men and boys.The actress, who centered her 2011 directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey around the Bosnian war that led to genocide, commemorated the 23rd anniversary with a powerful statement about the hardships the European country and its citizens still face today.“The passage of time cannot diminish the pain felt by survivors of the war in Bosnia or the horror of the Srebrenica genocide,” Jolie said in a statement. “I have never met more brave, dignified and resilient women than the Mothers of Srebrenica, many still searching for their lost sons and husbands 23 years after the genocide. My thoughts and my heart are with them, and with all survivors in Bosnia today.” She continues, “Srebrenica stands as an indelible warning of the consequences when we fail to take sides when innocent civilians are threatened with aggression. It is also a reminder that the international community can act together, as NATO eventually did in Bosnia, to end the conflict and protect civilian life.”
Jolie serves as Special Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and uses her role to work in support of refugees around the world. In her statement, the activist hopes the anniversary reminds nations around the world to take steps in preventing another genocide as millions of refugees are displaced.“On this the 23rd anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, I hope we will be inspired to renew our sense of responsibility towards others, and our confidence in our ability to act collectively to prevent genocide and war crimes and defend international law,” Jolie said. “It is in our hands, and would be the best way of honoring the memory of those who died in Srebrenica.”Jolie made similar statements at a press conference in Bosnia in February 2012 when she returned to the country to screen her film. The director discussed her film and the long controversial history it has in the Balkan country, saying she hoped the film would serve as a “wake-up call for the international community.”“I’m satisfied with what we made, I feel very strongly about it and I believe that its core issue – which is the need for intervention and need for the world to care about atrocities when they are happening – is very, very timely and especially with things that are happening in Syria today,” Jolie told journalists from the Associated Foreign Press in 2012.
