Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s $21,000/Month London Mansion Is an Inspiration to All Business Travelers

It’s a pretty nice place to stay while you work.If you were going to be in London, England, for a few months for work, you’d probably, what, settle for whatever corporate apartment they found for you out by the airport or near the office? Because that’s just the way things have to be, right? Wrong! You don’t have to stay in some drab condo or business suite hotel for months on end! You can rent a huge mansion with a tennis court, multiple swimming pools, and a movie theater. That’s what Brad Pitt is doing, so why can’t you? Pitt, who is filming Netflix’s Stanley McChrystal movie War Machine in London for six months, is staying in a $21,000-per-month mansion in Surrey, where he will live with his wife, Angelina Jolie, and their many children. Us Weekly gives us some details about the home, most intriguingly that the mansion is “just a 35-minute boat ride from George and Amal Clooney’s nine-bedroom home.” Which is interesting, don’t you think? Does that imply that there will be many boating trips between the two mansions? Is there a dedicated ferry for that, or does Brad Pitt now have to buy a boat big enough to transport himself and his family to and from the Clooneys’ house? Is Brad Pitt going to become a boatsman? Will Angelina Jolie write a sequel called By the River?
Who knows. And who knows what it’s like when those two couples hang out, three of them talking about movies and then one of them being like, “Oh, that reminds me of when I spoke to members of Congress about the human-rights crisis in the Maldives,” and then there’s a pause and someone says, “Did you say Maleficent?,” and then the other one says, “No, Maldives.” That must be interesting!But anyway, we were talking about you. About your plans for your long work stay somewhere. Does this news, of Brad Pitt’s eight-bedroom mansion with its spa and billiards room, help encourage you to fight for your own comfortable accommodations? I hope it does. Because with a little ingenuity and tens of thousands of dollars, you, too, could be spending your business trip in style. Chances are you won’t find a place that has regular boat service to George Clooney’s house, and even if there was, you probably wouldn’t be let in once you got there, but other than that, you could find yourself very similar digs. I mean, the London area is lousy with mansions, even some that haven’t been bought by Russian oligarchs. And $21,000 a month isn’t even that much, when you really think about it. Sure, it’s more than most people pay for a year’s rent, but it’s not crazy. So, I think you can make this happen. Just go talk to Dawn and Gill in H.R. and they’ll help you out. You just have to ask the right way. Probably don’t mention anything about the Clooney boat, not yet anyway. Ease into that one. But do fight against the extended-stay hotel or business suite or whatever they’re calling the box they want to put you in. Demand, gently, the house with the movie theater and swimming pools. If Brad Pitt deserves it, so do you.

Angelina Jolie Demands Brad Pitt Take DNA Test To Prove He’s Not The Father Of Melissa Etheridge’s Kids

Singer Melissa Etheridge recently said Brad Pitt was almost — but not — the sperm donor for her two children, but it was enough to make Angelina Jolie suspicious. The Oscar winner reportedly demanded that Pitt take a DNA test to prove he did not father the children. However, this tale comes from the National Enquirer, which claimed last week that Pitt threatened to divorce “dying” Jolie if she didn’t get help for a rumored eating disorder.Not surprisingly, Gossip Cop debunked the rumor about Etheridge’s children the same day National Enquirer published it. The website famously discredits erroneous stories, and Wednesday’s stories were just the latest examples. “Gossip Cop has repeatedly busted the Enquirer for its many false claims about Pitt and Jolie, including a recent made-up tale that the actor was threatening to divorce his wife because she’s allegedly ‘dying,” the site wrote. “[Enquirer’s] latest claim involving Etheridge and a paternity test is equally wrong.”The National Enquirer wrote that it talked to a source who described Jolie as suspicious. “Angie wants closure on the issue, so she’s demanding Brad undergo a paternity test,” the source said. “But Brad says Angie is being paranoid.” If he doesn’t take a DNA test, she’ll supposedly “go straight to Melissa and demand answers.”
That's it!! #Perth you got up and rocked like crazy!! Last show...#gratitude #Australia starting our journey home! pic.twitter.com/ebjb28mnyZ — Melissa Etheridge (@metheridge) April 1, 2016
The rumor started with Etheridge told Australia’s Studio 10 talk show last week she considered Pitt to be a sperm donor for her children. “Well, actually, [Brad Pitt] was such a good friend of mine. And we did consider it,” she said. “And yet, I looked and I saw how badly he wanted children and I thought, ‘I don’t want to share this with someone who really, badly wants children because my children don’t need another parent — they have two.'” She later chose singer David Crosby to father her two kids, Bailey and Beckett. Etheridge and Pitt did not remain close. They apparently had a falling out after Etheridge said Jolie’s choice to undergo a double mastectomy was “the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer." The rock singer battled breast cancer in 2004. Jolie, who has the BRCA1 gene, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times in 2013 after she preemptively had her breasts removed.

Could this be the end of the marriage for celebrity juggernauts Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? If the cover of In Touch Weekly is to be believed, the “Fury” actor is going to divorce his wife for being insanely envious of his new co-star, Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard.Pitt, 52, and the French actress, 40, are currently working on a World War II romantic thriller, “and the resentment has been eating away at Angelina,” an insider told In Touch Wednesday, according to Hollywood Life. “She’s prone to think that since she was once Brad’s co-star and seduced him away from his wife, the same will happen to her.” Pitt famously left then-wife Jennifer Aniston after he starred with Jolie in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in 2005. Both parties denied the affair started when he was still married to the beloved “Friends” star.Though Pitt has worked with other gorgeous women during his time in the entertainment industry, Jolie, 40, is especially intimidated by Cotillard. “She’s exactly the kind of sultry European actress that Angie has always wanted to be and she’s playing exactly the kind of role Angie’s always wanted to play,” an insider told the magazine. “Adding to the jealousy is the fact that Marion has one thing Angelina hasn’t achieved in her acting career: Oscar for Best Actress.”Jolie won an Oscar in 2000 for Best Supporting Actress for her work in “Girl, Interrupted.” Cotillard won for “La Vie en Rose” in 2008.Though there have been plenty of reports about Jolie filing for divorce from Pitt, In Touch Weekly’s version claims it will be Pitt who ends the marriage. “He’s fed up with her controlling ways, her obstinateness when it comes to listening to him about her health issues and how she needs to slow down and now her outright jealousy when it comes to other women,” the insider said.Neither Pitt nor Jolie have commented on the divorce rumors, but Gossip Cop, a website that famously dismantles celebrity reports, said there is “no truth” to the story. “Pitt and Jolie have been together for more than a decade, during which time they’ve both worked alongside many attractive co-stars,” Gossip Cop wrote. “The couple’s marriage is going strong and this is simply a non-issue.”

There had been reports that Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie is flirting with someone on the set of “First They Killed My Father.” It was reported to be a crew member who supposedly looks a lot like her husband, Brad Pitt.Angelina has been working hard on directing the Netflix movie in Cambodia when the rumors started. It was said that a publication called National Enquirer were stirring up stories of the actress-directress’ infidelity. It was said that Jolie was bonding “flirtingly” with one camera man working with her. They even added that at one point, the two disappeared and Jolie returned “with a big smile on her face.”The insider for the said tabloid added that the cameraman “tries to look more and more like Brad Pitt” every day. They also said that as an effect, Jolie is now like a “school girl with a crush,” and the camera man is like “a puppy for Angie.”The tabloid did not stop there. Adding to the accusations of cheating, they also say that Jolie is now on a campaign to lose her weight, almost to the point of stressing herself out.Gossip Cop was quick to debunk the rumors. Speaking to a source close to the actress, they claimed that the whole story is nothing but a pile of nonsense. They emphasized that Jolie is working on a really important movie regarding the 1970s Cambodian genocide, not flirting with some cameraman.They also note that it is not the first time National Enquirer has spun stories regarding the Hollywood power couple. Just recently, Enquirer has released a story regarding the couple’s “imminent” divorce because of Jolie’s “diary confessions” regarding sex and drugs. Gossip Cop similarly debunked the said issue.
