Angelina Jolie has landed a high-profile magazine cover: on Friday the star was seen on the cover of CR Fashion Book. Friday is also the eight year anniversary of when she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.The Oscar-winning looked beautiful with her blonde hair worn wild and curly as she posed for photographers Luigi & Iango for the magazine. Jolie's son Pax Jolie-Pitt also shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot.Inside the issue, The Eternals actress spoke about her side hustle, Atelier Jolie. 'Over the years, I've seen fashion dictated by trends and anointed arbiters of taste,' said the mother of six.'But to look inward and dress for oneself—to truly express oneself with creativity and resourcefulness—is a useful rebellion in this modern age.'And she shared that though she can be serious she also has a fun side: 'I like to be silly and love good standup comedy.'Also in the magazine - which can be pre-ordered - Jolie shared that she has not seen all of her movies and that 'some' of her children have already gotten tattoos. And Jolie added she was happy to launch Atelier Jolie because it is 'exciting' to see what happens when 'artists collaborate.' Carine Roitfeld interviewed Jolie and her first question was about why she started Atelier Jolie.'My intention was to build a space—a home, really—for people to create and be inspired. The house is comprised of artists and designers from around the world, and at the heart is an invitation to re-engage in design and build community,' said the star, whose next movie is about Maria Callas. And she said her late mother Marcheline Bertrand has been her inspiration.'My mother was a very globally minded, thoughtful person, who often spoke to me about injustice,' said the Tomb Raider star. 'When I was in my twenties, I started to travel and realized how much I had not been taught in school or was aware of.'I began my education, or reeducation rather, then. I began traveling to areas of conflict and post-conflict. Listening. Learning. My world view is very much shaped by refugee families, and I have so much respect for them. I hate it when I see the media and politicians using these families for their own gain. No one would choose that life. We are honored to have Eat Off Beat in residence. They are a refugee chef collective, and wonderful to work with.''Introducing the first cover of CR Love & Fantasies, featuring legendary @angelinajolie,' a caption for the cover shared on Instagram read.'Inside our Fall/Winter 2024 issue, Jolie speaks with CR's EIC @carineroitfeld about how her creative collective @atelierjolieofficial is a home for artists.'On the cover, Jolie wears the @atelierjolieofficial x @zarifnyc limited capsule collection, designed by Jolie and Zarif founder Zolay Sherzad. 'Zarif blends traditional Afghan techniques with contemporary design, and this collection —made from Atelier Jolie house patterns and deadstock fabrics—aims to help preserve cultural heritage and support Afghan women. Pre-order CR25: Love & Fantasies now at the link in bio, available on newsstands October 28,' the caption also said.

Angelina Jolie has embraced becoming an 'older woman.'The 49-year-old actress - who plays opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical drama film Maria - has explained how particular aspects of the movie chimed with her own reality.Speaking to IndieWire, Angelina said: 'I'm 49. I do feel like an older woman now and I embrace that.Jolie - who is still in a painful custody battle with ex Brad Pitt - then spoke of the importance of opera to help deal with emotions.'When I was younger, there were certain pieces of music and certain sounds that matched what I was feeling: I was falling in love, or I was curious about this, or whatever I was going through.'There is nothing that meets what you're feeling like opera,' she added.'[Some pieces] are so beautiful, so full of hope and so full of yearning,' added the Oscar-winning star.'Opera is bigger. It is bigger than we allow ourselves to feel in every moment.'Angelina wasn't very familiar with opera music before she began shooting Maria.The Tomb Raider actress admitted: 'I grew up in America. 'In other countries, they understand how essential and important it is, and it's much more a part of the culture, but not where I was raised [Los Angeles].'I had been introduced to [Maria] but it was a complete discovery of this new art form, to come in and transform my life and teach me all of the different operas.'I hope that most people however they relate to the film go into a discovery and they let themselves feel it and they try to sing it. If I can do it…'Angelina recently revealed that she spent 'months' preparing to sing in Maria.
The actress said at the Telluride Film Festival: 'I had seven months of opera classes, great teachers and Italian classes, and a supportive team that were going to help me.'This comes after Angelina said she is actually soft.When at the Venice Film Festival she was asked by a reporter how she related to Callas.'I think the way I related to her may be a surprise — [it was] probably the part of her that's extremely soft,' said Jolie at a panel on Thursday, according to People.The star continued, 'And she doesn't have room in the world to be as soft as she truly was, and as emotionally open as she truly was.'Jolie was hinting that she has hidden her soft side due to her enormous fame. This comes after Jolie shed tears when she received an eight minute standing ovation for her film Maria.The mother of six was seen wiping away tears as the claps continued. Jolie also said during her panel that she worked very hard to star as Callas in a movie.She said she spent almost seven months training her voice so she could sing opera because she does not want to 'disappoint' Maria's fans.And she was asked about the word diva, which is what Callas was called.'I think it's often come with a lot of negative connotations,' said Jolie.'I think I've re-learned that word through Maria... and I have a new relationship to it.'I think it is often other people's perception of a woman that defines, sometimes too much, who she is and who she was, or what she intended,' she added.'And I actually think [Maria] was one of the hardest-working people, who didn't hurt anybody.'So I suppose it's everybody in this room that makes that definition sometimes, but the true definition may be [that] the great composers define it differently,' Jolie said.
Netflix has acquired the rights to Maria, but a release date has not yet been announced. Earlier Jolie said she got her sons to block the door of her rehearsal room when she was training to sing like Maria Callas.The Maleficent actress said: 'Everybody here knows I was terribly nervous about the singing. 'I spent almost seven months training because when you work with (director) Pablo (Larrain) you can't do anything by half.'He demands in a most wonderful way that that you really do the work and really learn and train.'My first time singing I was so nervous that my sons were there and they helped to block the door so that nobody else was coming in.'And I was shaky. Pablo in his decency started me in a small room and ended me in La Scala.'So he gave me a time to grow. I was frightened to live up to her and you know I had not sung in public.'Angelina plays Maria when the singing icon was nearing death and losing her voice.The opera legend is still idolized as the greatest voice in the history of opera and died in 1977 aged 53 after a spell of illness and isolation.

Angelina Jolie has to live in Los Angeles because of her nasty Brad Pitt divorce but when the twins turn 18 she'll move 8K miles away

Angelina Jolie would like to leave Los Angeles, where the daughter of Jon Voight grew up with single mom Marcheline Bertrand in the Beverly Hills area.The 49-year-old Oscar-winner told the September 4 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine on Friday that she would prefer to live in a country like Cambodia, where there is more privacy.That is where the Maleficent actress finds more 'humanity.'But the star - whose next film is about Maria Callas - cannot pack up and go because she is still struggling with her divorce from Brad Pitt which is going on eight years.Because they are continuing to hammer out the custody agreement with their two minor children, Vivienne and Knox, Jolie is not able to settle somewhere else.Vivienne and Knox become adults when they turn 18-years-old on July 12, 2026.Jolie also co-parented four other children with Pitt, but they are now adults and free to move about the globe as they wish. They are Maddox, 18, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18.Jolie currently lives at a historic residence in Los Feliz, California. It is a beaux arts mansion built for Cecil B. DeMille that she bought after her 2016 separation from Brad.Pitt is in the Los Angeles area. He has been busy making movies, his next is Wolfs with George Clooney. And he dates jewelry executive Ines de Ramon.'I grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave,' Jolie told The Hollywood Reporter.'When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety.'I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be… that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here. '[After Los Angeles,] I’ll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I’ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.'The artist also spoke about how she loves to have people around her.'I like to be with people I love. I’m not somebody begging to be alone. I’m not that person that feels like, “Oh, I wish I could just be alone so I could have my guilty pleasures.” 'Because usually my guilty pleasure is being with somebody. I love doing something that makes them happy. That really does make me happy.'
And she doesn't have a lot of Hollywood pals as she brings up 'betrayal.''I don’t really have those kinds of relationships,' added the Gia actress.'Maybe it’s losing your parent young. Maybe it’s working. Maybe it’s being somebody who’s been betrayed a lot.'I don’t have a lot of those warm, close relationships as much that I lean on. But I have a few, and a few is enough. Loung [Ung, the Cambodian American human rights activist] is one of my closest friends. 'My mother was very close to me. I lost her. I’ve had a few friends over the years not be there for my family in their hour of need. I have a couple of people that I trust. What did Maria Callas die with? Two trusted people.' Also in her interview, Jolie talked about her feelings toward Hollywood.'I was an artist early to just help my mom pay bills,' she said.'I've had times where I've loved being an artist and I've had times where I felt very, very far away from being comfortable in the business. I'm hoping to be able to have a new relationship with it.' She has two new films. Maria, about opera singer Maria Callas, and Without Blood, the war drama she wrote and directed from Alessandro Baricco’s 2002 novel.She said her film Maria is very personal to her and it really touched her.And Jolie felt for the singer.'People were quite aggressive when she wasn’t able to be what they wanted her to be. They were very unkind, and she carried a lot of trauma and she worked very, very hard. I just began to really care about her and wanted that aspect of the story to be told,' she told HR. She also said she had an emotional reaction when she was taught to express herself as an opera singer.'My first class, I cried. I was sad, I was scared. It was a strange physical body reaction.'I stood there, and [the instructor] said, “OK, just be in your body. Take a deep breath, let it all out and just open your mouth and just let that sound come from the inside.” 'And that’s when I became really emotional. You discover how much we lock our pain in our bodies. 'Our voice gets tight, our shoulders go high, we get stomach aches, we do all these things, and it’s a protection for us. The hardest thing was feeling again and breathing again and opening again in the way that this film required that I had really not done for quite a while.'
And she is drawn to creating. 'I wish I knew how to be still and calm. I’m propelled forward constantly, and it’s not always the best feeling. For better or for worse, I’m a very deeply feeling person and kind of a raw nerve. So when I feel something deeply, I jump. I feel alive or I connect to something true inside myself.'Angelina said someone in a 'past relationship' told her she could never sing which held her back for years. 'So it took me getting past a lot of things to start singing.'And she was glad sons Maddox and Pax were there for her on the set of Maria to comfort her when a scene got tough. They worked as assistant directors.'You really try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry. And so for them to be with you when you’re expressing it at such a level, I think it was the first time they ever Heard me cry like that. That’s usually for the shower.'Next up? She would to play a real villain, not a mean person who is deep down good like Maleficent, but someone very twisted.

Angelina Jolie cuts a chic figure in a beige trench coat as she leaves the Venice Film Festival just hours after receiving an eight-minute standing ovation for Maria Callas biopic

After receiving a rapturous reception for her performance in the biopic Maria, it was no surprise that Angelina Jolie was in high spirits as she headed home from the Venice Film Festival.The actress, 49, has received critical praise for her performance in Pablo Larraín film, but opted against staying in the city for any further events as she prepared to leave Italy on Friday.Showing off her chic sense of style, Angelina opted for a stylish short-sleeved trench coat over loose white trousers as she boarded a water taxi.The star had made a glamorous appearance at Maria's premiere the evening before, where the film received an eight-minute standing ovation.It was a reception akin to that of Brendan Fraser's comeback performance in The Whale, which eventually won him the Oscar for Best Actor. Angelina was visibly emotional in the wake of the response, wiping away tears and turning her face away from the cheering. Following the premiere, several fans declared the film has kickstarted Angelina's campaign to win her second Academy Award in 2025, exactly 25 years after she was awarded the Supporting Actress prize for Girl, Interrupted.Posts on X included: 'Looks like its gonna be a cate blanchett vs angelina jolie best actress race in the oscars;'I'm so sorry for Amy Adams and Soairse Ronan, but Angelina Jolie will take the Oscar. Maybe this is still not the right time yet for both of them to win an Oscar;''The angelina jolie oscar campaign begins now.'Maria was hailed as the greatest voice in the history of opera, and the biopic depicts her during the final week of her life, before her death in 1977.She was not just known for her incredible voice, which helped make her one of the top opera singers of the 20th century, but also for her striking beauty which put a spotlight on her many romances. Maria battled ill health during her final years, and the film shines a light on her deteriorating mental state as she dreams of the prospect of performing once again, with her marriage to Ari Onassis at the forefront.Despite the film's positive reception, reviews have been more mixed, with many, including The Daily Mail's Brian Viner casting doubt over the film itself, while praising Angelina's performance.Branding her character a 'whining, self-pitying, endlessly needy victim,' he nonetheless noted: 'All that said, Jolie gives one of the performances of her career. 'This might be a flawed depiction of Callas but not by her; wearing enough mascara to sink one of Onassis's ships she is completely believable in the role and even does some of her own warbling alongside some top-class lip-synching to the real Callas, having reportedly trained for seven months until she was ready to perform in public for the first time. Admittedly I'm no expert but I couldn't tell the difference.'
Kevin Maher from The Times agreed, awarding the film two stars, and writing: 'This is a film fed by, and consistently cutting to, the operas that defined its subject. Yet there is not a single moment that is emotionally operatic. It is wilfully, wearily flat.' Awarding the film three stars, BBC's Nicholas Barber said: 'The film is also too adoring and reverential to let us sympathise with its supposedly fragile heroine. 'Unusually for someone who is drug-addled and terminally ill, Jolie's Callas never looks anything less than magnificent, and she is always supremely dignified, poised and confident, out-quipping everyone who crosses her path.'The Telegraph's Robbie Collin gave the film four stars, writing: 'Jolie is given ample space to dazzle, but less to surprise. 'Dazzle she does though, with a fine understanding of just how camp she can go without proceedings becoming too operatic for their own good. Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson said that even with Angelina's performance, the film 'struggles to hit the high notes.'He said: 'With a few details removed, Maria could be about any grand diva, this blurry picture of a woman swanning through the final week of her life.' However, Deadline critic Stephanie Bunbury described Angelina, as 'an almost magical match for the real diva.' 'The actor's commitment to this creation is obvious at every turn,' she said 'Knowing that Callas was only happy when on stage, she learned to sing for the role; the voice we hear is a blend of Callas and Jolie's own.'The Guardian critic Xan Brooks awarded the film four stars, writing: 'Midway through, I was all set to file this as a posturing distraction, destined for a life as a high-camp curio. But it ground me down, won me over and by the closing credits, God help us, I was hoping for an encore.' The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey also praised Angelina's performance writing: 'It's a career-defining bit of synchronicity, bolstered by one of Jolie's very best performances. Her work has always been about that immaculate sense of control over posture and tone.'Variety's Owen Gleiberman wrote that Angelina 'seizes our attention, playing Maria as woman of wiles who is imperious, mysterious, fusing the life force of a genius diva with the downbeat emotional fire of a femme fatale.'Jolie, for the first time in years, reminds you that she can be a deadly serious actor of commanding subtlety and power.'
Angelina spent seven months training how to sing for her role in the film, and she performs as Maria Callas at the point when she was close to death and losing her voice. Producers have indicated that they blended Angelina's voice with Callas.Detailing her unease at singing publicly for the first time, she said: 'Everybody here knows I was terribly nervous about the singing. I spent almost seven months training because when you work with (director) Pablo (Larrain) you cant do anything by half. 'He demands in a most wonderful way that that you really do the work and really learn and train.'My first time singing I was so nervous that my sons were there and they helped to block the door so that nobody else was coming in.''And I was shaky. Pablo in his decency started me in a small room and ended me in La Scala. So he gave me a time to grow. I was frightened to live up to her and you know I had not sung in public.'Pablo Larrain said that the film was a celebration of Callas' life and Jolie added that she hoped that the singer had known at the end of her life how loved she was.Callas, hailed as the greatest voice in the history of opera, died aged only 53 in 1977 after a period of ill health and isolation. She had been heartbroken after husband Ari Onassis abandoned her for JFK's widow Jackie Kennedy.Angelina has played famous people before: In 1998 she starred as tragic supermodel Gia Carangi in Gia and in 2007 she starred as Mariana Pearl in the film A Mighty Heart.The director, who is best known for the bio pictures Jackie (about Jackie Kennedy, played by Natalie Portman) and Spencer (about Princess Diana, played by Kristen Stewart), said: 'Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream,' Larraín said. 'To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity. A true gift.'Maria was written by Steven Knight prior to Hollywood's WGA strike and granted a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.Callas lived from 1923 until 1977. She was born in American of Greek heritage and then trained in Greece as well as Italy.She was not just known for her incredible voice, which helped make her one of the top opera singers of the 20th century, but also for her striking beauty which put a spotlight on her many romances.

Angelina Jolie is spotted with a new man sparking romance rumours as they leave hotel in Venice together - so do you recognise him... or his famous sister?

Angelina Jolie has sparked romance rumors with British rapper and political activist Akala.The duo were spotted leaving a hotel in Venice, Italy together on Wednesday during Venice International Film Festival. In Touch has claimed that Jolie, 49, has been 'casually' seeing the journalist and author, 40, for over a year. The publication reports that Akala joined Jolie and her daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, at the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica in May of last year. An eyewitness shared at the time that Akala was 'very protective of them as he shepherded them around.' They enjoyed dinner together in Milan six months later, the publication also claims. An insider shared with In Touch that a primary component of Jolie's attraction to Akala has been seeing how he relates to her children. In addition to Zahara and Shiloh, Angelina and her ex-husband Brad Pitt share sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. 'I think a large part of her attraction to Akala, beyond the physical, is seeing him interact with her kids because that is so important to her,' the insider said. The source further explained that Jolie and Akala have 'connected' over their shared interests of activism, travel, and learning about different ways of life. 'They connect over their interest in activism and share a passion for travel and discovering different cultures. It’s been a long time since she’s felt this kind of attraction,' they said. Akala, 40, - born Kingslee James McLean Daley - started out as a rapper before moving into political activism, endorsing former Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election. His older sister is also the famous singer and rapper Ms. Dynamite. Ms. Dynamite, 43 - real name Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley - enjoyed a string of hits in the early 2000s with her debut album A Little Deeper, which won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.The publication has also claimed that the Maleficent star has been seeing another man, Broadway composer Justin Levine. 'Angelina has been seeing two different men over the past year or so,' a source claimed to the outlet. Tony-award winner Levine was a part of the Broadway production of The Outsiders, the musical Jolie produced. In Touch reports he co-wrote the book and score for the play. Jolie's daughter Vivienne also worked as a producer's assistant on the program. 'Angie just adores Justin, and they’ve been spending so much time together that a lot of people think the relationship could turn romantic,' the source said. An insider also shared with the site that the men are 'totally different' but Jolie is 'falling for both of them.' The new romance rumors comes five years after Jolie was declared legally single from Pitt. Jolie split from her film star husband after a disputed incident on a plane in 2016. She has said in court documents that he assaulted her and some of their six children and poured wine and beer on the family in a rage. He has always denied being violent towards her or the family. Akala and Justin are not the first two men Jolie has been linked to since her divorce. Several years ago, she was linked to musician The Weekend.
