A barrel of organic wine produced by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s estate in the south of France has been sold for more than €10,000 (£8,500) at auction, with the money going to support an agricultural project in Africa.Winegrowers in the village of Correns, where Pitt and Jolie have their chateau, 50 miles inland from Saint-Tropez, organised the sale on Wednesday evening as part of an annual auction to raise funds for the Democratic Republic of Congo, and donated to an agricultural cooperative which aims to teach young people about sustainable farming.“We’ve organised this sale in solidarity with the people of the Kivu region,” said Michael Latz, mayor of Correns.“It’s in an area on bordering Rwanda which has been left impoverished by war. Young people and agriculture have been the principal victims of conflict – and yet they are the key to future stability in the region.” The Pitt-Jolie barrel was by far the top seller, and was bought by local wine merchant Vins Breban. A 60-gallon cask, signed by the couple; it holds approximately 300 bottles – each bottle therefore worth around £28. This year’s sale made almost €25,000 for the charity, which operates in an area that Jolie visited in March this year alongside William Hague, the Foreign Secretary.

BRAD Pitt is too stinky for Angelina Jolie! he actor has sworn off soap, and has instead been using a homemade concoction of lemons, water and apple cider vinegar. “Brad says he’s read up on the toxins of soap – especially the antibacterial ones – and feels that using them and antiperspirants is not only bad for the planet, but it also speeds up the aging process in humans,” said an insider. “But Angie was revolted, and their kids even started calling him ‘Stinky Daddy.’ Angie agreed to humor him only as long as they weren’t on the same continent. “Angelina told him he ‘smelled like a sheepdog’.” Meanwhile, Brad is furious that Angelina is wooing a sexy Japanese rock star to play the villain in her new film — because he looks like the actress’ former lesbian lover! Despite having little or no acting experience, Angelina, 38, cast Japanese rocker Miyavi – whose real name is Takamasa Ishihara – to play the choice role of ruthless, sadistic prison guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe in Unbroken, which she’s filming in Australia. “Angelina was absolutely hypnotized by Miyavi’s haunting audition for her film,” said a source, adding that she couldn’t stop talking about the gender-bending rocker, who loves to wear makeup, reports the National Enquirer. “Miyavi bears a striking resemblance to Angie’s former lesbian lover Jenny Shimizu – and that fact wasn’t lost on Brad.” Angelina hooked up with Shimizu in 1996, gushing that she “fell in love with her the first second I saw her.” And in 2005, Shimizu claimed her affair with Angie lasted many years. “Angie told Brad that she’d probably have to spend a lot of time coaching Miyavi because he’s never had a major Hollywood role before,” the source continued. “That sent Brad over the edge. He’s halfway around the world in England while Angie’s reading lines with this sexy Asian rocker. “She told Brad that, as outrageous as Miyavi looks and acts, with all his tattoos and piercings, he’s actually a down-to-earth family man. Still, Angie gushed so much about Miyavi, it drove Brad bonkers.” Despite Angie’s assurances that there’s nothing to worry about with Miyavi, Brad is planning to keep a close eye on her, said the source. “He’s insisting that they Skype every day – even though Sydney is 10 hours ahead of London,” blabbed the mole.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might have some Spanish artwork hanging in their gorgeous French estate! On Aug. 25, the A-listers were leisurely walking past an art gallery in Casares, Spain. Owner David España realized the pair were outside his shop and decided to seize the moment! "They passed by on Sunday afternoon, very discreet with a few bodyguards. I didn't even realize it was them at first," España tells Life & Style. "When I did, I invited them in and they browsed around my works." Brad, 49, and Angie, 38, took such an interest in España's art, they purchased his work! "They ended up buying two small paintings," the gallery owner shares. "The paintings are painted on glass and one is a 16th century-style female portrait of Isabella, queen of Spain, and the other of King Ferdinand." España says their six kids, who range in age from 5 to 12, were not with them, but the actors "were very nice." The couple were believed to be in town on a vacation. They have since resurfaced in LA. It's been a very trying year for the pair, who got engaged in April 2012 after dating seven years. Along with planning one of the biggest weddings of the century, Angie revealed in May that she underwent a double mastectomy to lower her risk of getting cancer. And Brad was with her every step of the way."Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center [in California], where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together," she shared. "We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has."
