... after being made an honorary Dame by the Queen.She is the Queen of Tinsletown and has just been made an honorary dame.But Angelina Jolie kept a low-key look for her first outing after the news as she was spotted arriving at Heathrow airport with Brad Pitt and several of their children.The 39-year-old actress was kitted out in an all-black ensemble as she made her would out of the car and carried some of her belongings into the London airport on Saturday morning.The Maleficent star wore a black waterfall cardigan over black trousers and she added height with black heels.She accessorised with a large black handbag while her fiance Brad was seen in a beige ensemble.The couple seemed to be joined by their eldest son, Maddox, who wore a backwards baseball cap by urban brand, The Hundreds.It is thought that the Foreign Secretary William Hague nominated Angelina to receive the surprise accolade as part of the Queen’s birthday honours.The suggestion is plausible as the pair have been working closely together at a summit on rape in London over the past week.But eyebrows were raised at the headline-grabbing damehood, which seals two years of growing friendship between the A-list actress and Mr Hague.As an American citizen, it is highly unusual that Miss Jolie has received an honour from Britain.Foreigners are occasionally awarded them – there was an honorary knighthood for Bob Geldof, who is Irish, after Live Aid.The honour to Miss Jolie, a UN Special Envoy, recognises her ‘extraordinary’ work to stamp out rape as a weapon in war zones, culminating in a landmark international summit in London to tackle the menace.Mr Hague said she thoroughly deserved the award because she had ‘made a real difference and achieved lasting results’, referring to the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative the pair launched in 2012.Miss Jolie said: ‘To receive an honour related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to.’She becomes an honorary Dame Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George.It is awarded to those who ‘render extraordinary or important non-military service in a foreign country’. It can also be conferred for important or loyal service in relation to foreign and Commonwealth affairs.

President Angie and First Gentleman Brad? Longtime humanitarian and actress Angelina Jolie has long been asked about her political ambitions, and the question came up again during a recent Good Morning America interview with George Stephanopoulos. The anchor recalled the Maleficent star telling him in 2005 that she had too many skeletons in her closet."I wonder if by now my skeletons are out?" Jolie said laughing. "They're probably all out. I don't know if I have any left!" The mother of six with longtime partner Brad Pitt does admit to having interest in holding office, but only in the right conditions. "If I thought I'd be effective, I would," she continued. "But I'm not sure if I'd ever be taken seriously in that way and be able to be effective." Jolie has taken numerous trips abroad for humanitarian work, spent more than a decade as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees before being promoted to Special Envoy, and has adopted three of her six children from developing nations.

Are you tired of hearing celeb moms complain about how difficult they have it?Gwyneth Paltrow enraged mothers everywhere she told E! that they have it easier than someone like her, an A-list celebrity actress and mother of two.Here’s what the mother of two said:“I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.”
Well, Angelina disagrees, and she made sure to let everyone know her stance on the topic during an interview with the New York Post.
