Angelina Jolie and Paul Mescal were pictured grabbing a coffee together after she watched him perform in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Almeida theatre in London. The unlikely friends were pictured in the theatre's coffee shop where they were engaged in conversation while surrounded by empty tables. They were joined by Angelina's daughter Shiloh, 16, for the outing, whose father is Brad Pitt, 59.'Newly single' Paul wore a red T-shirt after the show, while Angelina was dressed in a black trench coat, with her daughter wearing a jacket and beanie hat. Paul stars as Stanley in the Tennessee Williams masterpiece which is directed by Rebecca Frecknall. The play dramatizes the experiences of Blanche DuBois.Blanche is a former Southern belle who, after encountering a series of personal losses, leaves her once-prosperous home for a shabby apartment in New Orleans which is rented by her sister and brother-in-law. There have been rumours swirling that Paul and his fiancée Phoebe Bridgers have broken up soon after reports of their engagement. And fans of the couple were quick to share their shock over the alleged split as they took to Twitter to share their upset, saying they 'couldn't handle' the news. Singer Phoebe, 28, fuelled romance rumours with Bo Burnham this week after they looked 'flirtatious' at a comedy show, just weeks after her reported split from Paul.Now, Phoebe has seemingly referenced the reported break-up in her song lyrics, as she talks about 'standing on my own', while she is also set to appear on Chicken Shop Date. Phoebe and Paul sparked engagement rumors earlier this year before reportedly calling it quits. They first went Instagram official with their relationship last December, with a very loved-up image of the two of them, soon after making their first red carpet appearance at LACMA Art+Film Gala. The couple were first romantically linked to one another after a source told The Sun that they spent a weekend together in August 2020. The insider shared: 'Paul invited pals and they played wild drinking games. They're both smitten. His membership on the celeb dating site Raya is a smokescreen to cover up that they're secretly an item.'

Angelina Jolie and the United Nations' refugee agency are parting ways after more than two decades.In a joint statement issued Friday, the actress, 47, and the agency announced she was 'moving on' from her role as the agency's special envoy 'to engage on a broader set of humanitarian and human rights issues.'Jolie, whose ex Brad Pitt was seen attending the Babylon premiere Thursday with new love Ines de Ramon, said; 'I will continue to do everything in my power in the years to come to support refugees and other displaced people.' She added she felt it was time 'to work differently' by directly engaging with refugees and local organizations.Jolie first started working with the U.N. refugee agency in 2001 and was appointed its special envoy in 2012 - she was among the most high-profile of the organization's ambassadors.The star 'carried out more than 60 field missions to bear witness to stories of suffering as well as hope and resilience', said the U.N, and had most recently traveled to Burkina Faso.U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said: 'After a long and successful time with UNHCR, I appreciate her desire to shift her engagement and support her decision.'I know the refugee cause will remain close to her heart, and I am certain she will bring the same passion and attention to a wider humanitarian portfolio.' In an opinion piece published in The Guardian last month, Jolie alluded to frustration with the lack of global progress in ending sexual violence in conflict.'We meet and discuss these horrors and agree that they should never be allowed to happen again. We promise to draw - and to hold - that line. But when it comes to hard choices about how to implement these promises, we run into the same problems time and again,' she wrote, specifically calling out U.N. Security Council members for 'abusing their veto power.'Jolie began visiting refugee camps in 2001, and was appointed as a UNHCR goodwill ambassador that same year. At the time, the then-high commissioner said he hoped the then-26-year-old actress could direct young people's attention to the plight of refugees.In response to a request for additional comment, the agency declined to offer further details, including whether they would appoint another special envoy to replace Jolie.Meanwhile Angelina's split from Brad has been acrimonious, as the pair have been battling over custody of their six kids and business ventures.Brad and Angelina met in 2005 on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith, playing a bored married couple who discover they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill one another. At the time he was married to Aniston. Brad and Angie married at Chateau Miraval in 2014 and parented six kids – three biological and three adopted – who are now aged between 14 and 21.Brad and Angie were ruled legally single in 2019 – but are still sorting out their labyrinthine financial affairs and custody arrangements to this day.They have been locked in a legal battle of the Chateau Miraval, a 35-room estate and celebrated vineyard in the south of France that Pitt and Jolie bought for $60 million in 2011.

ALISON BOSHOFF: Angelina Jolie to get key FBI report into THAT private jet scrap with Brad Pitt
- Details

Tis the season of goodwill — but there is no truce in the six-year battle between actress Angelina Jolie and ex-husband Brad Pitt.Jolie, 47 appears to be continuing to pursue Pitt, 58, via an anonymous court action between ‘Jane Doe’ and the FBI, which investigated an alleged altercation between the pair on a private jet in 2016.Pitt was accused of pouring red wine and beer over his ex and their children, and of assaulting them on the plane — claims which he denies.The allegations were investigated by the FBI, but no charges were brought.Details of the incident first surfaced in August this year, when a Freedom of Information court filing became public, and it can be revealed that the endgame is finally in sight. In new legal documents seen by this paper, the FBI has promised to give Jolie the documents from its investigation before the end of the month.According to court papers, during a recent status meeting, lawyers for ‘Jane Doe’ argued that she had been prevented from getting ‘qualified trauma care and domestic violence counselling to address harm suffered as the result of an in-air assault by John Doe’.They added that she needed the information in order to obtain ‘legal protection’ from her former husband.The suit was sparked after the FBI announced in September 2017 that there would be no charges brought over the plane incident.
Lawyers for the actress say that an FBI special agent prepared a statement of probable cause, which was presented to prosecutors, who then declined to proceed.Jolie’s legal team add that the ‘public mis-statement’ by the FBI over the closing of the investigation ‘contributed to the ongoing harm suffered by Ms Doe and the children by de-legitimising their experience’; and that she was not informed about the decision by the FBI.But sources in the Pitt camp disagree, suggesting the entire lawsuit is an aggressive media play by his former spouse. They insist both parties were given the report in 2017, and that Jolie was kept informed throughout.One said: ‘She has had the FBI report for six years and has used it in legal proceedings, so she has not been disadvantaged.‘The legal authorities investigated at the time and decided not to press charges.’The FBI, meanwhile, has said it will give Jolie the documents she has been seeking ‘in December’. It’s not clear, however, what exactly will be in those documents — and what the Bureau will choose to redact.Jolie and Pitt have been contesting custody of their six children — Maddox, 21; Pax, 19; Zahara, 17; Shiloh, 16; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 14 — ever since their split in 2016.The pair started a romance after co-starring in the 2005 movie Mr And Mrs Smith.
Jolie had already adopted Maddox at that stage — from an orphanage in Cambodia in 2002, while she was married to actor Billy Bob Thornton — but Pitt became the boy’s adoptive father in 2006. Together the couple then adopted three-year-old Pax from Vietnam; and baby Zahara from Ethiopia. They also had three children together: daughter Shiloh (in 2006) and twins Knox and Vivienne (in 2008).They were married in August 2014 at their house in rural France, but their legal union lasted just 25 months.In 2017, they hired a private judge — Judge John Ouderkirk, the same man who had married them — to mediate their divorce.Pitt was said to have quietly completed a ‘VIP rehab’; and admitted that he had been drinking too much and needed to go to AA meetings.Jolie accused Pitt of not paying her ‘meaningful support’ in 2018. He countered that he had loaned her $8 million to buy a home, and given a further $1.3 million for payment of bills.Initially, Jolie had primary custody of the children, who visited their father on a schedule. But in May 2021, Judge Ouderkirk granted Pitt 50/50 custody.Jolie then made a successful legal bid to disqualify Ouderkirk from the divorce case. A California appeals court ruled the judge had not sufficiently disclosed business relationships with Pitt’s attorneys, but did not overturn his 50/50 custody decision.Meanwhile, battle has also been joined over the couple’s French vineyard, Chateau Miraval. Jolie sold her 50 per cent stake in the Provencal winery last year — a move Pitt says was unlawful.
