Angelina Jolie spent part of her Sunday browsing for bargains at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena.The actress, 42, tried to hide her identity under a very large floppy black hat as she took three of her six children shopping.The star wore a long gray jersey coat over a black dress with lace at the bust.Angelina stepped out in slipper-style black flats and carried a large black leather tote over one shoulder.With their famous mom were Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine.Shiloh wore a gray hoodie with the hood up over her short blonde hair. She added tan cargo pants and black flipflops and snaked on tortilla chips as she walked along.Knox was dressed in a black t-shirt and black sweatpants with black trainers.He carried a toy wooden crossbow that he'd found at one of the hundreds of stalls of merchandise.Vivienne had on camouflage pants and black shoes along with a baggy white cotton shirt that she left untucked. She also carried a purchase - a blue and green blanket dotted with dinosaurs.Their mom also carried purchases in a white plastic bag.Meanwhile, Angelina co-wrote an Op-Ed published in a British newspaper on Sunday calling for more to be done to protect women in war zones.She co-authored the article for The Guardian with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for The Guardian.'In our different roles we have seen how conflicts in which women’s bodies and rights are systematically abused last longer, cause deeper wounds and are much harder to resolve and overcome. Ending gender-based violence is therefore a vital issue of peace and security as well as of social justice,' the two wrote.'Despite being prohibited by international law, sexual violence continues to be employed as a tactic of war in numerous conflicts from Myanmar to Ukraine and Syria to Somalia. It includes mass rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, and rape as a form of torture, ethnic cleansing and terrorism. It accounts in large part for why it is often more dangerous to be a woman in a warzone today than it is to be a soldier.' They concluded: 'It is humanity’s shame that violence against women, whether in peaceful societies or during times of war, has been universally regarded as a lesser crime. There is finally hope that we can change this. We owe it to ourselves – men and women alike – and to future generations.'

Angelina Jolie Hired Set Designers To Transform House For Halloween Party?

Did Angelina Jolie really hire set designers to transform her house for a Halloween party? That’s the claim in one of this week’s new tabloids, which says the actress is going to great lengths to throw an epic bash for her six children. But Gossip Cop looked into the unlikely story and we’ve exclusively learned the truth.An article in the latest issue of Us Weekly says Jolie employed a crew of set and costume designers to give her Los Angeles mansion a spooky makeover. “The party is for the kids, but Angie is having some of her pals there too,” says the magazine’s supposed source, who further maintains the actress is organizing the celebration for her children as “a thank-you because she’s been traveling a lot and they’ve been so easygoing.” Of course, it seems very unlikely that Jolie would hire a big Hollywood production team to decorate her house for Halloween, so Gossip Cop was hesitant to believe this story. Our doubts were confirmed after checking in with a source close to the actress, who exclusively assures us it’s simply “not true.” In fact, Jolie and her kids were spotted at a Halloween store in Los Angeles earlier this month picking out their own costumes and decorations. The actress also went shopping at a separate costume shop earlier that week. Clearly, Jolie is handling the festivities on her own.It’s worth noting that Us Weekly is not a reliable outlet when it comes to accurately reporting about the actress. Gossip Cop busted the magazine in August for falsely claiming Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce was off. We also previously corrected the tabloid for wrongly asserting Jolie was going to be teaching at Georgetown University. This latest article about the actress hiring professionals to redesign her home for Halloween is similarly untrue.

In addition to Vivienne she has five other children including Shiloh, Zahara, Pax , Knox and Maddox Jolie-Pitt.This comes just days after Jolie disclosed that she was but one of his many intended victims, although she appeared to have escaped unscathed.She revealed was promoting her film Playing By Heart in 1998 when Weinstein made unwanted advances on the then 23-year-old in a hotel room. 'I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,' Jolie told the New York Times. 'This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.' Hollywood is still reeling after an investigative piece by The New York Times and The New Yorker earlier this month uncovered numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Weinstein over several decades.Actresses such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Ashley Judd, Cara Delevigne, Heather Graham and Mira Sorvino have come forward to give their personal accounts of harassment and abuse of power by Weinstein.

Single mom Angelina Jolie sure likes to make Halloween fun for her six kids.The 42-year-old Oscar winner was seen picking up fun supplies for her little ones as she strolled a store in Glendale, California over the weekend. The First They Killed My Father director spent $1,000 on supplies like a dead bird, a straightjacket and a bleeding machete, according to TMZ.The also snapped up a Ninja weapon set, big baby costume prop, rainbow tutu, and pumpkin teeth, it was claimed.The stunner can be seen in a long light beige sweater coat over a dark beige dress as she strolls the aisles with Zahara and another child, which looks like Vivienne.The Maleficent star is also seen carrying a large beige purse and she has her brown locks in a high ponytail as she wore sunglasses.The site also reported that she was seen last week at Hollywood Toys And Costumes buying Halloween items as well.It's been one year since she split from Brad Pitt. Reps for both parties maintain they are not getting back together and are still working through the terms of their divorce. These photos have surfaced on the same day Jolie was featured on the cover of the 150th anniversary issue of Harper's Bazaar.She did not just pose for idyllic snaps at a nature reserve in Namibia's Namib desert but she also penned a powerful essay. With the piece she touched on several subjects including what the country means to her, the impact of humans on the environment, the link between that environment and women's rights, and ultimately what her life experiences have taught her. In the powerful essay she opened up about what the desert means to her as she wrote: 'For me, Namibia represents not only ties of family and friendship but also the effort to the balance between humans and the environment so crucial to our future' In it she also explains that the reserve where the photoshoot took place - which is ran by the N/a’an ku sê Foundation - works with Namibia's San people.She even quotes the members of the Khoisan-speaking indigenous hunter-gatherer people while reflecting on her life as a whole.Angelina wrote: 'If my life experience has taught me anything, it is that what you stand for, and what you choose to stand against, is what defines you.'As the San people say, "You are never lost if you can see your path to the horizon."'As she is very passionate about the environment, the A-list star wrote about our individual and collective impacts on it as she explains that we could all be making much more conscious decisions when it comes to clothing and consumption choices.Angelina said: 'Fashion was once a major factor in encouraging the demands for clothes, jewelry or objects made from wildlife parts. But magazines can now send a different message: that wild animals belong in the wild, and ivory is not beautiful unless on the tusk of a living animal.'Each of us has the power to make an impact through our everyday choices. For instance, we can commit to never buying illegal wildlife products such as ivory and rhino horn. We can end the demand for wild animals as pets.' As women's rights are currently a hot-button issue, the star suggests that the environment actually goes hand-in-hand with the treatment of females.She said: 'Women make up most of the world’s poor...when the environment is damaged—for example when fishing stocks are destroyed, wildlife is killed by poachers, or tropical forests are bulldozed—it deepens their poverty. Women’s education and health are the first things to suffer.'Meanwhile Jolie is one of the many accusers of Harvey Weinstein, the powerful movie executive accused of sexual harassment, assault and rape. She told the New York Times in an email: 'I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did. This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.'

Her kids come first! HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that Angelina Jolie is insisting that any new man who comes into her life must gain approval from all six of her children.Angelina Jolie, 42, may finally be ready to date again after her split from Brad Pitt, 53 , but she wants to make sure her six kids approve of anyone new in her life. “Angelina is finally getting back into her groove after all the drama and upset of the past year,” a source close to the gorgeous actress EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com. “The children are settled into the new home and routine — they’re thriving, and that’s been Angelina’s whole focus since the split from Brad. She’s begun acting again, on Maleficent 2, and she’s started really looking forward to the future once again.” Since the Girl Interrupted star has clearly been busy spending her time readjusting to single life, it’s not surprising that she has also started to think about her future in dating. “Angelina is even getting to the point where she thinks she may be ready to start dating, although she’s being very passive about it and not actively looking for someone,” the source continued. “For Angelina, the children come first, and anyone she dates will have to meet the approval of all six kids, and that’s no mean feat!” During their tough split, Angelina and Brad’s brood have not only turned to their parents for support, they’ve also turned to themselves. Maddox, 16, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 9, have been there for each other every step of the way and with Angelina’s new healthy approval rule, we have a feeling their already tight-knit bond will get even tighter. Although the activist had a strong relationship with her former husband for many years, she hasn’t given up hope that it could happen again with someone else. “Angelina would like to believe that she will fall in love again one day, and meet her soul mate to grow old with,” the source revealed. Aw! When Angelina’s not working on her new film, she’s always out and about on thrilling adventures with her family of six. Whether it’s celebrating one of their birthdays or traveling to other countries to stand up for what she believes in, they always seem to be enjoying themselves. We can’t wait to see what the sweet bunch will do next!
