Angelina Jolie arrives for the Women in the World summit on Monday (September 11) in Toronto, Canada.The actress, director, and humanitarian spoke about her six children, who joined her at the Toronto Film Festival for her premieres this week.“I hope they’re being raised to see the value of diversity, the value of other people. They ask the questions we’re all asking. They see what’s happening in Syria or in Myanmar and they ask why, and we’re all trying to find the same answers,” Angelina said. “I will look for all different ways to communicate about their histories and really to teach them.” “We homeschool and I’m very very aware of their education, mostly very aware of what’s lacking. For example it’s very important to me my daughter Zahara doesn’t start learning about her history through the civil rights movement in America, that’s not how she begins to learn about herself as a young African-American,” Angelina continued. “She needs to learn about the great history of Africa and who she is…and not start with the civil rights (movement).”

Amal Clooney Did NOT “Reject” Angelina Jolie “Peace Offering,” Despite Reports

Amal Clooney did not “reject” a “peace offering” from Angelina Jolie, nor did the Oscar winner extend an “olive branch” to the human rights lawyer. These are false claims being spread online by two sister outlets. And now Gossip Cop can expose them both.On its website, Star is announcing, “Dissed! Amal Clooney Rejects Angelina Jolie’s Peace Offering.” In the article, the tabloid declares, “Amal Clooney does not want to be friends with Angelina Jolie. George Clooney’s wife has snubbed mother-of-six Jolie after she reached-out to her.” According to the gossip magazine, the actress “tried to mend their friendship,” but Clooney was “not interested.” A so-called “insider” is quoted as saying, “Angie went out of her way to try and mend fences, reasoning there’s a lot of water under the bridge and life’s too short for petty grudges. But Amal was bemused at the suggestions she would want to socialize with a woman she barely knows – let alone has any respect for! She turned her down flat!” For a similarly-written story, RadarOnline is blaring, “Cold Shoulder: No Thanks! Amal Clooney Snubs Angelina Jolie’s Olive Branch For Friendship.” The post is penned almost the exact same way, with the subtlest of word changes. For instance, instead of just “George Clooney’s wife,” as Star says, this piece uses the phrase, “George’s Clooney’s British lawyer wife.” But line by line, the claims are the same. Like its print counterpart, the webloid goes on to assert, “This snub infuriated Jolie who thought that her approach would be warmly welcomed at a time when she admitted that her divorce from Brad Pitt has been very difficult.” And both outlets quote the “insider” as claiming, “She’s got no idea why Amal and George for that matter have an issue with her. Angie wanted them to be friends since they have so much in common and Brad’s not standing in the way anymore. But now she accepts it’s not going to happen.” Absurdly, RadarOnline ends its version by saying, “To make matters worse the Clooneys were recently photographed with Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso in Italy recently,” as if the actors promoting a movie with their spouses should have any bearing on Jolie. More importantly, though, is that both publications are peddling the same allegations because they were seemingly made up by the same company, in which the staffs of its individual outlets apparently share resources, including manufactured claims. Though the tabloids have spent years trying to push a Jolie-Clooney feud narrative simply because the women aren’t close friends, there’s no truth to these two new stories about the movie star extending a “peace offering” and “olive branch,” only to be “rejected” and “snubbed” by the attorney. A rep for the Clooneys even confirms to Gossip Cop that the articles have no merit and are fictional.

It's been nearly a year since her split from Brad Pitt.But if she's still harboring any rancor, not a shred of it showed in her face when she hit the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday.The 42-year-old beamed while wearing a slinky black dress at the Canadian premiere of First They Killed My Father, which she's directed, co-written and co-produced.She was joined by her six children, the eldest of whom - son Maddox - was adopted from Cambodia where the film is set, and is one of the movie's executive producers. Joining 16-year-old Maddox were 13-year-old son Pax, 12-year-old daughter Zahara, 11-year-old daughter Shiloh and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.Kimhak Mun and Sareum Srey Moch, child actors who star in the movie, posed with Angelina and her six children, as well as with Luong Ung, whose story the film tells.First They Killed My Father is adapted from the harrowing 2000 memoir of the same name by Cambodian writer Loung.It recounts her life as a child in the 1970s under the brutal Khmer Rouge, as she and her family struggled to survive the murderous regime of Pol Pot.Luong attended Monday's premiere in a stylish pair of white slacks she'd teamed with an off-the-shoulder black blouse, rounding out the look with black shoes. Angelina shot the movie on location in Cambodia - the country from which she'd adopted Maddox, who's one of six executive producers of the film listed on IMDb. Variety reported Monday that the film will start playing this Friday in 10 American movie theaters, though it's still scheduled to go on Netflix on Friday as well.Angelina adopted Maddox in 2002, three years before she began her relationship with Brad, though Brad later adopted him and he's now Maddox Jolie-Pitt.It was in 2005 that Brad infamously left his first wife Jennifer Aniston for Angelina, and that was also the year Angelina adopted Zahara, whom Brad also soon adopted.Shiloh, Angelina and Brad's first biological child, was born in 2006, and the next year Angelina adopted Pax, whom Brad adopted once he was stateside, owing to a law in Pax's native Vietnam whereby unwed couples couldn't jointly adopt, per People.Brad and Angelina's biological twins were born to them in the South Of France in 2008, six years before the couple started a marriage that ruptured last year.Off the shoulder at the right side, Angelina's premiere dress on Monday featured a sash of black fabric and a nearly full sleeve at the left, plus an asymmetric hem.Balancing on a pair of black heels, she'd slicked her hair back and wound it into a ponytail, accessorizing the ensemble with a pair of drop earrings.Whilst outside at the premiere, Angelina was seen gracefully posing for a selfie with a fan, as well as signing an autograph for another one.Cambodian documentarian Rithy Pahn, one of Angelina's fellow producers on the movie, arrived at the premiere in a black suit, matching black hat and white shirt.Angelina posed affectionately with Rithy, standing behind him with her hands at his shoulders as the two of them smiled for the cameras.The pair seemed to be having a ball on the premiere red carpet, Rithy pointing playfully as Angelina gestured toward herself, bending a bit at the waist.First They Killed My Father had its Cambodian premiere in Siem Riep on February 18, and its American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado on September 2.Held at the Princess Of Wales Theatre in Toronto's Entertainment District, Monday's premiere has been part of a chockablock day for Angelina in Canada.She also spoke that day at The Women In The World Canada Summit, where the lineup included none other than incumbent Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.Tina Brown, who went from editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair to editor-in-chief of The New Yorker to founder of The Daily Beast, interviewed Justin, per Maclean's.According to The Canadian Press as run online by The Toronto Star, Angelina said at the Women In The World Canada Summit: 'There’s just so much for all of us to do and the first and foremost is we have to just get the best education.'She's explained: 'With all that’s accessible to us sometimes we get completely overwhelmed and we don’t know what to believe and what to do, so I’m just trying to listen to other women, I’m trying to lend my voice where possible. We all need to do, I think, even more than we’ve ever done because we’re at a very dark time.'

Angelina Jolie Still Feels ‘Possessive’ Over Brad Pitt — Why She’d Care If He Moved On

If Brad Pitt starts dating someone new, just how is Angelina Jolie going to take it?! Although it’s pretty inevitable, our insider says she’s dreading that day. Here’s all the EXCLUSIVE details! As painful as it is to think about, we have to admit that Brad Pitt, 53, and Angelina Jolie, 42, will one day be out dating new people! That is unless they rekindle their love and all is right with the universe again! Okay…back to what is shaping up to be our harsh reality. Should Brad start romancing someone new, our source says his soon-to-be ex-wife won’t be too keen on it, even though she was the one who is rumored to have pulled the plug on their marriage! “Angelina knows that Brad will start dating somebody else at some point, but she doesn’t know anything about the rumors of Brad dating Ruth Negga as she tries her hardest to stay away from anything on the internet that isn’t news related,” a source close to Angelina shares with HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY regarding recent rumblings about his rapport with his co-star on his new film Ad Astra. “Even though it was Angelina‘s decision to split with Brad, she still feels possessive when it comes to him, and Angelina has a jealous streak in her, so if Brad has moved on to another woman, it’s definitely going to sting. Brad and Angelina‘s interactions are still all about the children. He or she will call if there is something important to discuss regarding the kids, but that’s about it. Brad and Angelina very rarely drive the children to and from each other’s houses, they have staff do that.” Surprisingly, it sounds like Brad and Angie are actually on the same page. As we previously reported, the leading man is fearful of what a new romance might bring into his life following his painful separation. “Brad fears falling in love again after suffering from a broken heart with Angelina. Brad has great chemistry with his co-star, Ruth, but he is cautiously keeping things between them light and casual. Brad is keeping it light and friendly with Ruth, as he has with any other women he meets these days,” a source close to Brad previously told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He may have a crush on the beautiful co-star, but he will not be falling in love again anytime soon.” It sure sounds like it’s going to take a lot more time before Brad can move on.
