         In exclusive photos obtained by BAZAAR.com, Jolie honors American veterans during her visit to St. Paul's Cathedral.Angelina Jolie visited St. Paul's Cathedral in London Thursday to attend a ceremony for the 200th anniversary of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, an award which recognizes the work of service officers or diplomats in a foreign country.While at the Anglican church, the actress and activist made her way to the American Memorial Chapel, which honors 28,000 American soldiers who were stationed in the U.K. during World War II and lost their lives. In exclusive photos obtained by BAZAAR.com, Jolie looks moved as she looks through the names of the deceased veterans inside the chapel.Jolie places her hand over her heart while reading the 500-page, leather-bound book that contains the inscription, "Defending freedom from the fierce assault of tyranny they shared the honor and the sacrifice. Though they died before the dawn of victory their names and deed will long be remembered where ever free men live.”  The chapel in St. Paul's contains many references to the U.S. The three stained-glass windows contain the state symbols of every American state, the wood carvings contain the birds, plants and flowers of America, and in one panel are a space rocket and stars — a nod to the American space program.Jolie has been a fierce supporter of American soldiers and veterans. In 2014, the actress donated an undisclosed sum of money to The Independent’s Christmas campaign for homeless veterans, according to the publication.That year, Jolie was also named an honorary dame by Queen Elizabeth II, which allows her to attend royal events such as the St. Paul's ceremony. The Queen was expected to officiate Thursday's ceremony but, according to royal reporters, canceled because she was feeling unwell.

        Angelina Jolie dazzled as she attended the Service of Commemoration and Dedication to mark the 200th anniversary of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George at St Paul's Cathedral in London on Thursday.The Maleficent star, 43, looked effortlessly chic in an ivory cowl-neck gown, as she became the star attraction of the service, after the Queen was forced to bow out due to reportedly contracting a summer cold.The brunette beauty proudly sported the sash badge of the order - a dazzling brooch coming in a silver-gilt and enamel - while she slipped on silk gloves to perfect her elegant ensemble for the dazzling bash.Adding a jaunty edge to her ensemble, she donned a beautiful ivory hat topped with a ribbon and wore her brunette locks swept up into a chignon. The Girl, Interrupted star accentuated her pretty features with smoky shadow and fluttery lashes, while her famous pout was slicked in a rose gloss. The star joined the congregation for the service and quickly became the star of the show following Her Majesty's withdrawal, with guests flocking around Angelina. The beauty was also seen sharing a special moment with her young fans, when a group of children gathered round to shake her hand and chat with the actress. The Order recognises service in a foreign country or in relation to foreign or Commonwealth affairs, such as the work of foreign service officers and diplomats. The Order consists of the Sovereign, Grand Master (Duke of Kent), 125 Knights and Dames Grand Cross, 375 Knights and Dames Commander and 1,750 Companions.The Badge of the Order depicts St George fighting the dragon on one side, and the archangel St Michael trampling Satan on the other. Angelina was invited as a recipient of an honour from the Order. She was awarded an honorary damehood in 2014 for services to UK foreign policy and her extensive work on the campaign to end sexual violence in warzones. It is granted by the Queen on the Prime Minister's advice.
        The cathedral is the home of the Chapel of the Order of St Michael and St George, formally dedicated in 1906. The Queen was forced to cancel her appearance at the service because she is said to be suffering from a summer cold.A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: 'The Queen is feeling under the weather today and has decided not to attend this morning's service at St Paul's Cathedral marking the 200th anniversary of the Order of St Michael and St George.'She added: 'Her Majesty will be represented by The Duke of Kent as Grand Master of the Order.'No doctor has been called and the 92-year-old Queen is expected to travel from Buckingham Palace in the capital to Windsor Castle in Berkshire this afternoon for the weekend as planned. Her programme of events in Scotland next week is also still due to take place. Angelina was previously in a relationship with actor Brad Pitt, 52; they were married in August 2014 but began a relationship in 2005. The duo, who split in September 2016, have six children, Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, nine.She has been in London shooting Maleficent 2 with Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer. It was reported earlier this month, she wanted to make it a family affair by casting daughter Shiloh and son Knox in the Disney sequel that sees her playing the villain again. Her daughter Vivienne appeared in the first film, which came out in 2014. It's been alleged that the beauty's estranged husband refused to allow the two children to participate in what has been an ugly and ongoing custody spat stemming from her 2016 divorce filing, according to UsWeekly.  
        The insider revealed: 'He refuses to sign off her plan to include Shiloh and Knox in Maleficent 2. The kids are being used as pawns.'The source also said that the children were supposed to be in London with Angie for two weeks then go back to LA with Brad, but she then changed the plans. The magazine did not explain why she changed the plans but did have a Pitt source argue it was not fair. Pitt has been seen in London near her filming location.And then the publication added some very specific custody agreement details. The Ocean's 11 star has been allowed to 'host' one or two of the kids at a time in four hour intervals with a therapist present, the magazine claimed, from June 8 to June 17.And from June 27 until July 1, he may see the kids for 10 hours a day also with a therapist, it was claimed. Then from July 8 to July 14, Brad will spend 'four consecutive days' with the kids with a therapist present, it was alleged.From July 12 to July 29, he will return to California and he will have custody of the kids, it was reported.The source also said that Brad and Angelina do not talk to each other at all. 'They are not on good terms and are less than civil,' it was added. Their custody agreement is temporary and they will head back to court on August 13 to iron out firmer plans.

Angelina Jolie “Amused” By Dating Rumors, Focused On Kids, Work

            Angelina Jolie is “amused” by the tabloids romantically linking her to random people, but her main focus remains on her kids and work, an insider tells Gossip Cop. Since the beginning of the year, the actress and humanitarian has been reported to be involved with a slew of different men, but as we’ve previously noted, she’s not dating anyone right now. And while she generally pays little to no attention to tabloid reports, and the rumors don’t particularly bother her, Gossip Cop is told Jolie is still a bit surprised at how much people care about the phony stories about her supposed love life.Starting in January, Jolie has wrongly been connected to a number of different men. She was first falsely linked to Cambodian rapper and filmmaker PraCh Ly, who OK! dubbed her “new love.” The tabloid even had the gall to maintain it had a “source” who claimed “they’re a perfect match” and “their connection is becoming stronger by the day. It’s just what Angie needs.” And while it’s true the two know each other, People later confirmed Gossip Cop’s reporting that the actress and Ly were not a couple and that Jolie isn’t interested in dating for a “very long time.”That was followed several weeks later by an absurd report about Jolie “crushing” on Chris Hemsworth, a claim manufactured simply because the two sat next to each other during the Golden Globes. Hemsworth later dismissed the gossip tying him to Jolie while appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Following that, Jolie was wrongly linked romantically to a few more celebrities, as well as some unnamed and untraceable men.
            In March, it was falsely maintained Jolie was looking to “sink her claws” into Garrett Hedlund, whom she had cast in the 2014 movie Unbroken. After that off-base claim, the Oscar-winner was purportedly getting “flirty” with Ethan Hawke, her co-star in the 2004 film Talking Lives. Of course, the actor has been married for a decade and even told USA Today in 2015 that they haven’t stayed in touch but “every now and then” Jolie sends Hawke a Christmas card. Gossip Cop also busted a report claiming Jolie was dating Ed Skrein, her new co-star in the upcoming Maleficent sequel. And just a few weeks ago, we shot down an untrue story that asserted she was pursuing Channing Tatum.On the non-famous front, Gossip Cop corrected a slew of wholly fabricated articles contending Jolie was set to marry her fourth husband, an unnamed “British philanthropist.” While Life & Style devoted a cover story to the actress walking down the aisle with this supposed fiance, glaringly the tabloid didn’t offer one concrete piece of evidence about his very existence, including his name, age, or any specific physical attributes. The phony narrative about Jolie having a mysterious British boyfriend was actually recycled from more than a year ago, and even back then our impeccable insider denied it.Also phony were claims that she was dating an unidentified real estate estate. In fact, Us Weekly debunked the rumor, noting Jolie was not dating a real estate agent and is single. Similarly, People also reported this spring that Jolie is not dating anyone one these days.One would think that with all these untrue tales, the fairly private actress would be annoyed, but she’s not. An insider tells Gossip Cop that Jolie is unfazed by all the relationship rumors and is “amused” by the fact that there’s a (misguided) obsession with her love life, particularly when she’s not focused on it all. We’re told Jolie’s main priorities are her six kids and her work, both on and off the screen.
