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.

Camilla Parker-Bowles and Angelina Jolie plot against Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle

As Angelina Jolie spends more time in London, the Hollywood actress has teamed up with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to rattle Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.Ever since the 43-year-old actress was granted damehood from the Queen in 2014, for her efforts to raise global awareness of violence against women, Camilla has been helping the star in another shocking way. A palace source explosively told New Idea, ‘Camilla has welcomed the actress into the royal fold.'Adding, ‘Ange couldn’t be happier – she’s passionate about her charity work and has wanted to be close to the royal family for years.'So meeting Camilla and having her work so hard to align her with royal causes has been amazing – they’ve become incredibly close since Ange moved to the UK, and she can’t believe how close to the royals she’s become.'Although Angelina is loving the royal attention, Camilla's intentions are reportedly much more sinister.Many believe this is all part of Camilla’s plot to rattle Meghan and Kate, knowing the A-list Hollywood star will cause all sorts of drama and jealousy.‘Camilla has never felt Kate and Meghan were suitable for the royal family – not regal enough and not from the right breeding. In Camilla’s day, only women of aristocratic blood married into the royal family – so seeing “Commoner Kate” and soap actress Meghan marry their way in has incensed her.‘She likes to cause trouble for them, and bringing in Angelina is just another way to ruffle a few feathers,’ the source adds.According to the source Kate is devastated over Camilla and Ange’s meetings and really feels like they are betraying her.'She’s seen them growing closer and closer and it’s really left her unsettled because she knows how conniving Camilla can be. Kate knows the pair are capable of anything, and has been told by several palace aides to watch Camilla and Ange closely,’ the insider spills.Shockingly, Ian Halperin, author of Brangelina: The Untold Story Of Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie, accuses the Maleficent actress of wanting to 'infiltrate' the royal family. In the book, Ian claimed that Angelina studied Princess Diana in ‘minute detail’ and has always wanted to continue the work of the late princess. He even claimed one friend suggested Angelina had a ‘secret ambition to marry into the royal family’, and alleged ‘Prince Andrew is on her radar’.‘She’s a woman with an agenda. She wants to leave the US and work in the UK. She wants to get in the House of Lords, she has a non-profit foundation there. She has her sights set on England,’ Ian told the Daily Star.

Angelina Jolie NOT Calling Off Brad Pitt Divorce Amid Custody Battle, Despite Report

Angelina Jolie is not calling off her divorce from Brad Pitt amid their custody battle, despite a false tabloid report. Gossip Cop can debunk the claim. The story is completely fabricated.Last month, a judge established a new custody arrangement in which Pitt would get to spend significantly more time with his children over the summer. The judge even indicated that Jolie could be in danger of losing custody if she didn’t follow the court’s order. Now, according to the Globe, the actress believes the only way to keep full custody of her kids is to reunite with her estranged husband.An alleged insider tells the magazine that Jolie was “blindsided” by the idea that Pitt could take the kids from her because she believed “there was no question she’d end up with full custody.” The unreliable outlet further contends that the actress has decided to stop the divorce proceedings as a result, but it’s only a ploy to ensure she doesn’t lose her kids. “She’s doing her best to mend her fractured relationship with Brad and become a family again,” adds the outlet’s supposed source.None of this is accurate. For starters, Jolie is following the visitation schedule set up by the judge and allowing the kids to split time between her and Pitt. There’s no reason to believe the actress would defy a court order, so she doesn’t have to call of her divorce in order to keep the children, who all currently live with her in London as she films Maleficent 2. As for the suggestion the actress is in such a state of panic that she’s willing to stay in a fractured marriage, People recently reported that Jolie is “doing great” and staying positive amid the custody battle.
It should be noted, the Globe also wrongly reported in early June that Pitt and Jolie were calling off their divorce, but it was for a different reason back then. At the time, the untrustworthy outlet said the two “mended fences in a sizzling reunion between the sheets.” Less than two weeks after the story was published, the exes’ new custody agreement was put in place. Had the two actually been back together, there wouldn’t still be a judge presiding over their case.Also, this latest article makes no mention of Pitt and Jolie having supposedly reconciled in early June. Instead, the tabloid maintains that the actress only decided to call off her divorce following the judge’s most recent ruling. The publication can’t keep its stories straight and is simply coming up with new angles as it goes along.

Angelina Jolie took a break from her busy filming schedule to enjoy a little family time.Over the weekend, the 43-year old actress took her six children to see the hit musical Wicked in London's West End.Some Wicked cast members took to social media to gush about the appearance, with actress Claudio Kariuki tweeting: 'Angelina Jolie in watching @WickedUK for the 3rd time tonight, casual.' According to People the movie-star mom looked happy and relaxed during her night out on London Town with kids Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12 and nine-year old twin Vivienne and Knox.The Jolie-Pitt clan were also spotted out shopping at a department store earlier in the day.Angelina and the kids have been living full-time in London while she films the sequel to the 2014 hit Disney movie Maleficent.Co-star Elle Fanning shared a photo on her Instagram in late May showing her with Angelina in the background wearing part of her Maleficent costume with the caption: 'It's bring you mom to work day on the #Maleficent2 set!!!!' Elle is reprising her role as Princess Aurora, while Michelle Pfeiffer plays Queen Ingrith in the sequel.Angelina's weekend with the kids comes about a week after her ex-husband Brad Pitt flew across the pond to spend time with his children.In June, a judge presiding over their divorce case set new scheduling details for the actor to spend more time with five of his six kids. Maddox isn't included in the arrangement because he is old enough to decide on his own how much time he wants to spend with his father.According to court papers obtained by People, the Academy Award-winning actress could lose full custody of the kids if she doesn't abide to the visiting terms.The former couple both live in Los Angeles when they are not filming on location.
