Angelina Jolie Shares Shocking Details About Kids’ Diet; Daughter Shiloh Loves Tarantula, Bugs

Details: Published on Monday, 10 February 2020 11:56; Written by IB Times

Angelina Jolie shares a shocking detail about her children’s diet and Shiloh’s love for bugs.A clip of Jolie preparing bugs as meals for her kids was shared by BBC News in 2017 when the actress was still promoting her film “First They Killed My Father.” According to Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, her children are fond of eating bugs.“I think it’s always been a part of the diet, the bugs, but then I think there is a truth to the survival during the war of course. When people were being starved, they were able to survive on things like this and they did,” Jolie said when asked if she had prepared and ate bugs before.The “Maleficent” star admitted that she started with crickets and beers. Then, she moved up to tarantulas. Jolie showed to the camera how to fry a scorpion and shared it with her children who seemed to love it, too, especially Shiloh. Jolie added that the flavor was “really good.” “They’re used to eating scorpions, especially Shiloh,” Jolie said about her eldest child with Pitt.“Shiloh loves a tarantula, loves a bug. They can all eat a bag of crickets like a bag of chips, so they’re all used to it. But I’m learning to cook them better with a little more flair and seasoning.” The clip received various reactions from fans. Many were impressed with how Jolie raised her kids. One wrote that she was never a fan of Jolie until she saw the video because she loved how Jolie teaches her children to eat like the natives. Another added that Jolie has “bigger balls than any man” because he himself couldn’t think of eating spiders.“Jesus! Times must be hard since Brad left. What's for dinner mum? Insects. Off her bleedin' trolley,” @onemoveahead added.Meanwhile, another Twitter user defended Jolie. According to @lvtoure, Jolie teaching her kids to eat bugs was something that the humanitarian philanthropist has been doing years before she and Pitt divorced. Thus, claiming that Jolie did it because of Pitt was “inconsequent.” In related news, there were claims that Jennifer Aniston reignited her feud with Jolie following the former’s sweet reunion with Pitt at the SAG Awards. However, fans should take those reports with a grain of salt as Jolie is moving on and won’t let Pitt and Aniston’s thing sting her.

Details: Published on Monday, 06 January 2020 20:32; Written by Daily mail

Angelina Jolie and her 11-year-old daughter Vivienne worked hard to control their two dogs when out in Los Angeles on Sunday.The 44-year-old beauty was pulling hard on the leash as she took the pooches to a groomer.That same day her ex-husband Brad Pitt won a Golden Globe Award for his work in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. During his acceptance speech he joked about his dating life and said hello to his parents, but he forgot to thank his six children for their support. A source told TMZ, however, that he did not forget but rather did this on purpose because he wants to keep the lives of his children as private as possible.Angelina kept things casual but chic in a white blouse underneath a long black overcoat.The cover girl teamed the look with a pair of cigarette style trousers that reached to just above her ankles. The Maleficent actress completed her ensemble with nude colored flats and kept a low profile with dark shaded glasses. Angelina's brunette tresses were pulled back in a low ponytail and she appeared to be wearing minimal makeup. Vivienne also dressed casually while with her mom in a light T-shirt and patterned board shorts. At one point, the twin of Knox Léon appeared to be struggling with controlling her newly groomed pet. The mom-and-daughter appearance comes after dad Pitt took home the Best Supporting Actor award at the Golden Globes for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The actor beat out Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in the category. This is the first time Brad has won in the category since 1996. In his speech he thanked various people including director Quentin Tarantino, pal Leonardo DiCaprio and his parents, but did not at all make any mention to his six children. Brad is the dad to estranged son, Maddox, 18, as well as Pax, 16, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 11. And while Angelina stayed at home, many of the 56-year-old's exes were also in attendance. Ex-wife but good friend Jennifer Aniston (1998 to 2005) was in close quarters as was Gwyneth Paltrow (1994 to 1997) and Christina Applegate (1989). His rumored flame, Charlize Theron, was also in attendance on Sunday night.

Angelina Jolie Plotting To Move With Kids To Africa Behind Brad Pitt’s Back?

Details: Published on Sunday, 24 November 2019 13:33; Written by Gossip Cop

Angelina Jolie is not plotting to move with her six kids to Africa behind Brad Pitt’s back, despite a made-up tabloid report. Gossip Cop can correct the phony story. There’s no truth to it.In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this month, Jolie noted that she’d prefer to live abroad with her children, but she has to stay in Los Angeles “where their father chooses to live.” The actress further noted that she and the kids will “break ground on a home in Africa” next year. According to In Touch, however, what Jolie didn’t say is that she plans to stay there permanently.“She doesn’t play by anyone’s rules, especially not Brad’s, and she wants her kids raised out of the country,” a so-called “family insider” tells the magazine. “Her plan is for the house there to be their new home base.” The supposed source goes on to say that Pitt “wouldn’t be surprised if stating publicly that she’s building a home in Africa is some kind of ploy. She knows Brad can’t just pick up and move there as well. And if he doesn’t let the children go, well, it makes him look like the bad guy.” We’re not quite sure how Pitt’s reluctance to let his estranged wife take his kids away and move to a different continent would make him look like a “bad guy.” Still, the questionable tipster continues, “Moving to Africa, putting that much distance between them, would ruin any chance Brad has of rebuilding those relationships. This is just another way for Angelina to take control of the kids. Brad misses his kids desperately, and it feels like Angie is just rubbing salt in his wounds.” Actually, the magazine cherrypicked quotes from Jolie’s Harper’s Bazaar interview to create its fake narrative. Here’s a quote of hers the story doesn’t mention: “I would love to live abroad and will do so as soon as my children are 18.” The actress made a point of noting that she can’t move out of the U.S. due to her ongoing custody battle and won’t do so until her kids are of legal age. Last year, Jolie and Pitt reached a temporary custody agreement that would allow him to spend more time with the kids. The actress has no intention of breaking that agreement or defying a court’s order to grant Pitt more custodial rights.Gossip Cop checked in with an individual in Jolie’s camp, who tells us In Touch’s article is simply “not true.” The actress isn’t scheming to permanently move to Africa with her kids. In fact, doing so would be against the law and could result in her losing custody altogether. It’s just not a reality.Last year, Gossip Cop called out the magazine for making up a story about Jolie begging the kids to choose her over Pitt and trying to turn them against their dad. The tabloid simply doesn’t know what’s going on amid the couple’s custody battle. This latest take on the subject is more fiction.
