Angelina Jolie cut a chic figure as she returned to Los Angeles in sophisticated all-black.The actress, 46, took air travel fashion to a whole new level as she jetted out of New York on Thursday wearing a black turtleneck and matching eyelet skirt.It has been quite the busy few days for Angelina, who was in Washington D.C. advocating for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act and meeting with gymnasts testifying in a hearing in the FBI's botched probe into Larry Nassar's sexual abuse.Angelina was spotted making her way through the airport looking calm and collected with a small entourage escorting her through the transport hub.An airport employee assisted Angelina through airport while another gentleman wheeled her Louis Vuitton suitcase around.She carried a few of her essentials inside a camel hued tote bag while striding through the airport in her black high heels.And in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, she coordinated her outfit with a black face mask. Angelina's recent trip to Washington D.C. has been making headlines, with the actress meeting with Larry Nassar victims and an officer who defended the Capitol from rioters on January 6. The actress posted a photo of herself posing with gymnasts and Nassar abuse victims Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols, and Jessica Howard amid a Senate hearing into the FBI's botched probe into Nassar's sexual abuse.'I was honored to meet with some of the brave US gymnasts who appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday,' Angelina began in the post's caption. 'I’m in awe of their courage and commitment to preventing future failures to investigate abuse. 'As Aly Raisman said in her testimony, "Over 100 victims could have been spared the abuse. All we needed was one adult to do the right thing." Sending support and respect to them, and to all who are reliving this trauma so that system reforms can occur. 'I was on Capitol Hill this week, engaging with Senators on the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization and FBI reforms, including better protections for abused children, non-biased forensic evidence collection, trauma care, and judicial training.' During her trip to the U.S. Capitol, Angelina took the opportunity to thank Capitol Officer Harry Dunn, who testified in Congress after he was called racial slurs and physically assaulted during the insurrection.A picture of Jolie standing next to Dunn was shared on Twitter.Dunn lost fellow officer Brian Sicknick, who suffered two strokes a day after keeping rioters from entering the Capitol and harming lawmakers.Four other officers who were on duty during the riot in January died by suicide after defending the site.Officers Gunther Hashida, Jeffrey Smith, Howard Liebengood, and Kyle deFreytag took their lives in the months after the attack.Jolie also met with Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer to talk about the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which was signed into law by President Clinton in 1994, but lapsed in 2019.'I'm in DC leading up to the VAWA reauthorization, FBI reforms, and other important protections and rights.'I've met with experts for years now, learning about best practices including non-biased forensic evidence collection, and advocating for improvements,' Jolie said in a statement.'I'm grateful for these timely and valuable meetings with senators, especially focused on provisions for children's health,' she added.The VAWA was introduced by President Biden when he was a senator.In March, the House of Representatives passed legislation to restore itIf approved, the act would give funding to states that make dealing with sexual assault and domestic abuse a priority.Jolie reportedly asked senators to consider expanding the act to cover abuse targeted at children and 'prioritize children's health and safety in legal responses to trauma, including through judicial training and advancements in forensic evidence collection.'

Angelina Jolie Reportedly Returning For Maleficent 3

The production line of Disney live-action remakes based on the studio’s back catalog of animated classics has only gathered pace with the advent of the company’s in-house streaming service. It provides a second avenue to debut re-imaginings of established favorites, with Peter Pan & Wendy and Pinocchio both heading straight to Disney Plus.Even though the slate has increased in volume, sequels are still something of a rarity. Of course, The Lion King, Aladdin and Cruella all have new installments in development, but so far the only remakes to have generated more than one movie are Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent, both of which experienced massive box office drops compared to their predecessors.Angelina Jolie single-handedly elevated her two turns as the Sleeping Beauty villain above mediocrity, as the Academy Award winner clearly relished the opportunity to go as big and broad as possible with her performances. Maleficent earned an impressive $758 million at the box office, but Mistress of Evil suffered a steep drop to end up with $491 million in the coffers, which is hardly an insignificant sum to be fair.A new rumor from Giant Freakin Robot offers that Jolie is set to return for a third installment, and even though the news is labeled as being an “exclusive” from “trusted and proven sources”, the report offers less information than was already made public this summer. It was revealed in July of this year that another Maleficent was in the works, with the first draft of the script having already been written by Linda Woolverton and Evan Spiliotopoulos, so this isn’t anything we didn’t already know.

Angelina Jolie has continued to ramp up her social media presence after joining Instagram on August 20. On Friday, the 46-year-old actress shared rare photos of daughters Zahara, 16, and Shiloh, 15, doing their summer reading with her 10.2million followers. Angelina — who shares all six of her children with ex Brad Pitt — recently confessed that she feared for the 'safety' of her kids throughout the course of their marriage.The Maleficent actress posted a snap of adopted daughter Zahara reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, and another of Shiloh reading The Dark Lady by Akala. 'End of #summerreading. These are some of the favorites in our house. Would love to know yours,' she wrote. She had spoken to HELLO! about the challenges of homeschooling amid the Coronavirus pandemic. 'I have four different schools going on with six different kids, so it's all different. I'm also terrible with math and I question history, so I'm a really challenged parent when it comes to a lot of this stuff.'Fortunately, I have very capable, smart children. They are getting through, but it's hard,' she added. Us Weekly reported in April 2020, that amid her ongoing custody battle with Pitt, the pair had come to an agreement on 'traditional schooling' for the kids. 'Brad wants the kids to be in a school setting, and not isolated being homeschooled,' the insider said adding that the children's therapist had also recommended it. Eldest son Maddox, 19, is a student at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea but had returned home to take virtual classes amid the pandemic. Angelina's post comes shortly after she spoke out publicly about her marriage to Pitt, while promoting her new book Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth. Fiercely protective over her brood which includes Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, 17, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, amid a ruthless custody battle, she told The Guardian that she 'feared' for the safety of her kids during the marriage.'Yes, for my family. My whole family,' she said. When the outlet asked her to explain what caused her to fear for their safety she said that she 'can't speak about' it because of her legal situation. It was added that she 'confirmed by nodding that she was alluding to her divorce and the allegations of domestic abuse she made against Pitt.'One particular report of abuse was that Pitt had gotten into an alcohol-fueled violent screaming match with Jolie, prompting Maddox, 19, to defend his mother. In the interview she called the situation 'horrific' but said: 'It doesn't start with the violation [the plane incident]. It's so much more complicated than that.' The Girl Interrupted star added: 'It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children,' adding: 'There's a lot I can't say.'Angelina filed to absolve their marriage in 2016 after two years, and said in a June 2020 interview with Vogue India that it was for 'the well-being of my family,' adding 'it was the right decision.' Jolie was granted temporary custody over all six children and Brad was granted visitation rights with a court-appointed therapist present.In 2018, a court ruled in favor of Brad after he alleged that Angelina was preventing the children from having a consistent relationship with him. He was given a temporary summer custody that allowed him to spend time with the kids without Jolie present.She then alleged that summer that he had not been paying 'meaningful' child support for over a year, with Pitt retorting that he had loaned Angelina $8M and given an additional $1.8M to help with bills. The custody trial was supposed to begin in November 2018 but the two reached an agreement instead, as it was in the best interest of the children and eliminated the need for a trial.The pair were ruled 'legally single' in April 2020 but the status did not finalize the custody battle, as Brad continued to seek joint custody — which he finally got in May 2021. However, in July, Judge John W. Ouderkirk — the private judge overseeing both the divorce and custody case independently — was disqualified after it was said he had not sufficiently disclosed financial relationships with Pitt's attorneys.The ruling vacated all of Ouderkirk's decisions — including the joint custody ruling — which means Angelina retains full-time custody at this time. As Maddox is not a minor the decision does not apply to him. Pitt is now going to the California Supreme Court to request a review of the California appellate court's ruling to disqualify the private judge. Jolie's attorney Robert Olson told ET on September 1, that the petition to the California Supreme Court 'displays how they are clinging to this private judge who exhibited bias and refused statutorily required evidence.'Her camp called it 'disturbing' that he would 'seek to reinstate the private judge' who exhibited 'unethical behavior' and said: 'Ms. Jolie hopes Mr. Pitt will instead join with her in focusing on the children's needs, voices, and healing.' Brad's attorney Theodore J. Boutrous stated that their decision to go to the Supreme Court was due to the fact that the judge was 'improperly disqualified after providing a detailed, fact-based custodial decision, following a lengthy legal process with multiple witnesses and experts.' His camp added that the ruling caused 'irreparable harm to both the children and families' involved in the case and said that 'allowing this kind of crafty litigation' deprives parents of 'irreplaceable time with their children as judges are disqualified for minor reasons in the midst of their cases.'

'It was hard for me': Angelina Jolie says Brad Pitt 'hurt' her by working with Harvey Weinstein after she told her ex the producer almost assaulted her

Angelina Jolie has revealed new details about her relationship with Brad Pitt, telling The Guardian that they fought about Pitt's decision to work with Harvey Weinstein.Jolie said 'it hurt' to see her then-partner work with the disgraced producer after she claims she narrowly escaped being assaulted by him when they worked together in the late 90s. 'It was hard for me when Brad did [that],' she said, later adding: 'We fought about it. Of course it hurt.'But sources close to Pitt say Jolie is mischaracterizing the situation, telling TMZ he never 'teamed up' with Weinstein but was simply cast in a movie which later happened to get distributed by TWC. Their dispute came years before the Me Too movement, which sparked a sexual assault reckoning in Hollywood in 2017. The 46-year-old Maleficent actress was married to the 57-year-old Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor from 2014-2016, but they were together for over ten years. Angelina worked with Weinstein while filming Playing By Heart when she was 21-years-old. During that time she said the disgraced film producer attempted to sexually assault her, but she was able to escape. 'If you get yourself out of the room, you think he attempted but didn't, right? The truth is that the attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault,' the Gia actress said. Following the unsavory experience she noted, 'I stayed away and warned people about him. I remember telling Jonny, my first husband, who was great about it, to spread the word to other guys — don't let girls go alone with him.' After her statements, Weinstein's assistant issued a statement to TMZ on behalf of him, and said that he 'NEVER' assaulted her. 'It's very clear to me that this is for more sales on Angie's BOOK. THERE WAS NEVER an assault, and NEVER an attempt to assault. It is brazenly untrue and clickbait publicity.' He added: 'You're Angelina Jolie, every male and female in the world, I'm sure, shows interest in you. Is the whole world assaulting you?'The seasoned actress said she turned down a role in The Aviator to avoid the industry giant. 'I said no because he was involved. I never associated or worked with him again. It was hard for me when Brad did.' Her former partner worked with the convicted sex offender not only once, but twice — in 2009 he starred in The Weinstein Company's Inglourious Basterds, and he later sought out the producer to work on his movie Killing Them Softly. 'We fought about it. Of course it hurt,' the mother-of-six said.While promoting her new book Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth, the author also told The Guardian that she 'feared' for the safety of her kids during her marriage. 'Yes, for my family. My whole family,' she said. 'It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children,' she clarified, adding, 'There's a lot I can't say.'Angelina filed to absolve the marriage in 2016 after two years, and said in a June 2020 interview with Vogue India that it was for 'the well-being of my family,' and 'it was the right decision.'
