The actor is said to be upset over a video the Daily Mail posted, which purports to show her addicted to heroin during the 1990s.This hasn’t been the best week for the Daily Mail and its celebrity relationships. Just days after actor George Clooney published a scathing op-ed in USA Today, railing against the Daily Mail‘s “irresponsibility” in publishing a story about his fiancée’s family opposing their relationship on religious grounds, a new celebrity has taken aim at the British publication.Angelina Jolie is taking legal action against the Daily Mail, reports the London Times, over a video published online, which the newspaper claims shows the actress when she was a heroin user in the late 1990s. The 16-minute video, which was originally published by the National Enquirer, shows the actress walking around an apartment and talking on the phone. The clip was allegedly shot by Franklin Meyer, who claims to have been the Oscar winner’s drug dealer when she was living in New York, according to the Mail’s article, which was published on July 8.Jolie has dicussed her past drug use in interviews before, but the Times reports that she views the Daily Mail‘s publication of the video as a “gross violation of her privacy.”

“Maleficent” actress Angelina Jolie is featured on the front cover of the latest issue of “National Enquirer” magazine. On this week’s cover, the magazine claims Angie has been caught in the middle of a dirty drug den. Of course, the tabloid is actually digging up dirt from the late nineties — before her engagement to Brad Pitt and way before she had any children to think of.The tabloid claims that they have spoken to Angelina’s former drug dealer who admitted to selling her cocaine and heroin. In addition, the magazine claims that Angelina admitted to some pretty wild sex confessions, some of which may end up embarrassing her husband-to-be. A source close to the situation said, “This will be the final humiliation for Brad – and he could even call off their wedding.”We highly doubt that Brad would call off their wedding because she was allegedly promiscuous before they even knew each other and was an alleged drug addict. It’s not like it’s some big secret that Angelina liked drugs and women back in the day…The dealer also filmed a 16-minute video of the actress which is said to blow the lid right off of her image as a humanitarian. The “Enquirer” is where to go when you want your news straight from another decade, yo.

The 39-year-old actress was recently bestowed with an honourary damehood by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in her Birthday Honours, but as she is an American she cannot officially use the title.Angelina Jolie is in talks to become a citizen of Namibia so she can become a dame.However, the 'Maleficent' star has now been advised she could refer to herself as Dame Angelina Jolie by becoming a citizen of Namibia, which is part of the Commonwealth and she feels using the title would help with her charity work.A source told The Sun newspaper: "Angelina was blown away when she was made a dame. She thinks it will add gravitas to her in her humanitarian work."Gradually she will focus less on acting and more on world issues and this helps to detract from her Hollywood history."Angelina has close ties to the African country as it is where she gave birth to eight-year-old daughter Shiloh - her first biological child with fiance Brad Pitt - in 2006. The youngster is considered a Namibian citizen and has a passport issued by the country.The Namibian Embassy says it would be happy to consider the A-list actress for citizenship.A representative said: "We would welcome Angelina Jolie to make an application for citizenship, just like anyone else."Angelina - who also raises adopted kids Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, and Zahara, nine, and biological twins Knox and Vivienne, five, with Brad - has become a lauded public figure for her humanitarian efforts in ending sexual violence in conflict zones through the United Nations (UN).

Angelina Jolie thinks her mother was a better parent to her than she is to her own children.Angelina Jolie doesn't think she's as good a parent as her own mother.The 'Maleficent' actress - who raises children Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with fiancé Brad Pitt - says her late mum Marcheline Bertrand is her role model and couldn't have done a better job at bringing up her and her brother James Haven.Speaking to Grazia magazine, she said: ''It's hard to think I could be as good a mother as she was. Her whole life was motherhood.''The 39-year-old star also admitted she prefers to home-school her children because she wants them to have ''a bigger picture of life''.Meanwhile, last week, Angelina spoke at the summit to end sexual violence in London and she has vowed to keep campaigning forever.She said: ''I will work on this for as long as I am alive, for as long as it takes ... This sends a big message around the world. You see how women are treated as second-class citizens and abused. ''This is to say, 'No you can't' and we will, in an organised fashion, come after you.''

... after being made an honorary Dame by the Queen.She is the Queen of Tinsletown and has just been made an honorary dame.But Angelina Jolie kept a low-key look for her first outing after the news as she was spotted arriving at Heathrow airport with Brad Pitt and several of their children.The 39-year-old actress was kitted out in an all-black ensemble as she made her would out of the car and carried some of her belongings into the London airport on Saturday morning.The Maleficent star wore a black waterfall cardigan over black trousers and she added height with black heels.She accessorised with a large black handbag while her fiance Brad was seen in a beige ensemble.The couple seemed to be joined by their eldest son, Maddox, who wore a backwards baseball cap by urban brand, The Hundreds.It is thought that the Foreign Secretary William Hague nominated Angelina to receive the surprise accolade as part of the Queen’s birthday honours.The suggestion is plausible as the pair have been working closely together at a summit on rape in London over the past week.But eyebrows were raised at the headline-grabbing damehood, which seals two years of growing friendship between the A-list actress and Mr Hague.As an American citizen, it is highly unusual that Miss Jolie has received an honour from Britain.Foreigners are occasionally awarded them – there was an honorary knighthood for Bob Geldof, who is Irish, after Live Aid.The honour to Miss Jolie, a UN Special Envoy, recognises her ‘extraordinary’ work to stamp out rape as a weapon in war zones, culminating in a landmark international summit in London to tackle the menace.Mr Hague said she thoroughly deserved the award because she had ‘made a real difference and achieved lasting results’, referring to the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative the pair launched in 2012.Miss Jolie said: ‘To receive an honour related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to.’She becomes an honorary Dame Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George.It is awarded to those who ‘render extraordinary or important non-military service in a foreign country’. It can also be conferred for important or loyal service in relation to foreign and Commonwealth affairs.
