Angelina Jolie was spotted out in New York City with her youngest daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 15, on Tuesday afternoon. The Academy Award-winner, 48, looked ultra chic in an all-black outfit that included a flowy, low-cut dress. A boxy black blazer was draped over her shoulders and she carried her essentials in a leather YSL clutch. The Changeling star strolled towards a nearby SUV in sky-high Christian Louboutin heels.Angelina's brunette hair was secured in a claw clip and she wore large, designer sunglasses.Vivienne kept it casual in a white crewneck, baggy black pants and Converse sneakers. She is one of six children Angelina shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, who she split from in 2016 after two years of marriage and a decade together.They're also parents to: Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox. They're still battling over custody of their minor children. Tuesday's sighting comes shortly after it was revealed that Angelina is now a lead producer on the Broadway musical adaptation of the 1983 film The Outsiders.Not only is this her first Broadway involvement, but it is also the first time Angelina has worked on a project with Vivienne. According to ET, Vivienne will serve as Angelina's volunteer assistant and have direct involvement with the production. 'Viv reminds me of my mother [Marcheline Bertrand] in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,' the actress said in a statement to the outlet. 'She's very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.' A source dished that Vivienne 'loves musical theater' and that Angelina has been taking her to productions 'since she was a little girl.' The musical is based on S.E. Hinton's novel and Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 coming-of-age crime drama. That film starred a who's who of young Hollywood at the time: Tom Cruise, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, C Thomas Howell and Ralph Macchio. The musical had its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse earlier this year and a source told ET that Angelina and Vivienne 'both fell in love with the musical' when they saw it. 'Angelina and Vivienne subsequently met with S.E. Hinton, who was around Vivienne's age when she wrote the novel,' the insider claimed. 'As a result of seeing the show and the conversation with S.E. Hinton, Angelina was inspired to take a role as a lead producer for the upcoming launch on Broadway.' The Broadway cast of The Outsiders and show dates have yet to be revealed. 'I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse,' Angelina said in a statement earlier this month. 'I can't begin to express how excited I am for this musical to make its Broadway debut and look forward to sharing this new adaptation of The Outsiders with the world.'The synopsis for The Outsiders film reads: 'A teen gang in rural Oklahoma, the Greasers are perpetually at odds with the Socials, a rival group. 'When Greasers Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny (Ralph Macchio) get into a brawl that ends in the death of a Social member, the boys are forced to go into hiding. 'Soon Ponyboy and Johnny, along with the intense Dallas (Matt Dillon) and their other Greaser buddies, must contend with the consequences of their violent lives. While some Greasers try to achieve redemption, others meet tragic ends.' The Outsiders musical features a story by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance and Levine. It will be directed by Danya Taymor.

Brangelina peace talks! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie agree to try to settle bitter $350 million legal war over their French vineyard outside of court
- Details

The war between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been the longest — and bitterest — celebrity divorce in living memory. But only a fortnight after a legal filing which accused Pitt of bullying and illegal behaviour over the vineyard they co-owned, it can be revealed that peace — yes, peace — could at last be on the horizon. For both Pitt, 59 and Jolie, 48, have agreed to mediation which could settle their beef.Documents filed last week in the vineyard dispute show that both stars have agreed to mediation as an alternative method of dispute resolution over Chateau Miraval — rather than the matter going to court. Jolie has also said that she's willing to take part in a settlement conference.What's more, it can be revealed that Pitt has appointed a 'provisional administrator' to Chateau Miraval in a bid to resolve the war between himself and the Russians Jolie sold her share of the vineyard to. That transaction sparked the current imbroglio. The move, at Pitt's suggestion, aims to protect the highly successful wine business which he has helped to build, in conjunction with French wine-makers Famille Perrin. It will see an independent figure come in to assess the winery and how it is run and (it is hoped), in time, facilitate negotiations between Pitt and Nouvel — the investment company his ex sold to Stoli boss Yuri Shefler. A French source confirms the move, saying: 'In view of the dispute between Nouvel LLC (controlled by Stoli boss Yuri Shefler) and Mondo Bongo LLC (controlled by Brad Pitt), Chateau Miraval and its director have requested and obtained the appointment of a provisional administrator by the Draguignan (France) Commercial Court, to enable the company and its director to continue to grow the business and its essential partnership with the Perrin Family until such dispute is resolved, in the interests of Château Miraval, its directors, employees, partners and subsidiaries.' Pitt and Jolie purchased Chateau Miraval, a 1300-acre estate in the south of France, in 2008. In 2013 they started a wine-making business there with the Perrin family — leading producers of organic wine from the Southern Rhone Valley. The couple were even married at the property in 2014. The wine side of things was an almost immediate hit, with Chateau Miraval Rose being ranked the best in the world by many experts (including Wine Spectator magazine). Profits grew from around €1 million in 2013 to around €15 million in 2022.
But in 2016, after an incident between Pitt, Jolie and their children on a plane trip from France to California, Jolie filed for divorce. There have been skirmishes ever since — over custody of the kids, and money. In April 2019 the divorce was 'bifurcated' — a move which dissolves the marriage while allowing other disputes to rage on. In 2022 Pitt launched legal action against Jolie for selling her interest in Chateau Miravel to Russian oligarch Shefler. He had hoped to buy her out himself, and is now seeking to have the sale reversed.Meanwhile, lawyers for Nouvel claimed two weeks ago that Pitt had been 'looting' the wine business and using it as his 'personal cashbox' for 'vanity projects'. They are seeking $350 million in damages. Pitt, now dating businesswoman Ines de Ramon, has been in the UK this summer, filming racing drama Apex, but with the actors strike, he is now understood to have moved on. The star was described in the earlier court filing as a 'bully' who has acted emotionally, irrationally and 'ultimately illegally' over the vineyard where he and Jolie were married. It was said by lawyers for Nouvel that Jolie had to sell the business because after the drunken row on a private plane which ended their marriage in 2016, she was 'uncomfortable' being involved in the sale of alcohol.The filing alleged that their six children were so traumatised by that incident on the plane – described in full, riveting detail - that they have not been able to go back to Chateau Miraval since. The documents alleged that Pitt had run a 'gaslighting' campaign which suggested that the image of the brand was damaged by its association with Yuri Shefler of Stoli, who bought Jolie's share. In point of fact, wrote Nouvel's lawyers, the risk of damage to the brand came from Pitt's own tarnished image. Pitt was bluntly invited to 'look in the mirror.' Pitt stood accused of using a deal with Jolie over the asset as 'leverage' by offering her 'poison pill' terms in a tit for tat after she filed allegations of domestic abuse during their custody battle. It was also said in the filing that the Chateau Miraval company made no repayment of $40 million of loans and that Jolie sought to sell the company in order to 'achieve liquidity' – an astonishing assertion given her long and successful career in Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie stood by Iranians 'defending basic rights and freedoms' on Tuesday in a social media post. The 48-year-old actress and humanitarian took to Instagram to call attention to the situation in Iran following the death last September of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the country's morality police. Jolie shared an image of a woman wearing clear glasses with tears running down her eyes in the colors of the Iranian flag along with the words, 'Woman, Life, Freedom'.'Respect and solidarity to Iranian women and men for their courage in defending basic rights and freedoms, and thinking of those imprisoned or facing prosecution - as in other situations where freedom of expression is restricted or denied - including #ElahehMohammadi #NiloofarHamedi #NargesMohammadi #ToomajSalwhi,' Jolie wrote in the caption for her roughly 14.5 million followers. Jolie in her hashtags referenced Elaheh Mohammadi, 36, who was imprisoned in September 2022 for reporting on Amini's funeral. Hamedi, 30, also was imprisoned for reporting on Amini's hospitalization and death.Narges Mohammadi, 51, is an Iranian human rights activist who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for 'spreading anti-state propaganda' and has remained vocal despite her imprisonment. Salehi, 32, is an Iranian hip hop artist who was sentenced to six years in prison for participating in the 2022 Iran protests following Amini's death. Jolie also took to Instagram last September to raise awareness about anti-government protests in Iran by sharing images of women demonstrating. 'Respect to the brave, defiant, fearless women of Iran. All those who have survived and resisted for decades, those taking to the streets today, and Mahsa Amini and all young Iranians like her,' Jolie wrote in the caption. 'Women don't need their morals policed, their minds re-educated, or their bodies controlled. They need freedom to live and breathe without violence or threats. To the women of Iran, we see you #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini,' she added. Jolie began her humanitarian work after filming the 2001 film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in war-torn Cambodia. She contacted the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and went on field visits in Africa before being named as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador in August 2001. Jolie has been on dozens of field missions in more than 30 countries and was promoted in 2012 to the rank of Special Envoy to High Commissioner António Guterres.
