    Brad and Angelina

    Not for nothing, but the BI is gender neutral and this is from the daily mail article linked above... Pitt is said to have been furious over Jolie's appointment of Arminka Helic, 48, and Chloe Dalton, 37, two former political aides to British politician William Hague. A source told the Sun they were brought in to help with her campaign work and speech writing and urged Pitt to reduce the couple's support staff. 'Brad sees the women as a coven. He was furious at some of Arminka's decisions,' the source said. The decisions are said to have included ditching Pitt's security team - some of whom had worked for the star for 20 years. Lady Helic is seen as a key person on 'Team Angie' as the actress braces herself for the aftermath of her decision to divorce Pitt. A source told Daily Mail's Alison Boshoff that Lady Helic is 'smart, strong, and impeccably loyal', adding that she is Angelina's 'assistant, adviser and best friend'. Angelina watched Lady Helic be admitted to the House of Lords in 2014. They often travel together; recent trips include a visit to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands and one to Burma at election time last summer. Boshoff adds that the baroness's place in Jolie's inner circle is so central that she was with her when news of the divorce became public.

    Brad and Angelina

    This is from People. Assuming these really are "sources close to Brad" he is admitting to a fight and putting his hand on the kid, but not in a violent manner. This is really ramping up fast. Brad Pitt's Side of the Story: He 'Did Not Hit' Maddox as Plane Fight with Angelina Jolie 'Got Out of Hand,' Says Source by Michael MillerThursday September 22, 2016 06:10 PM EDT After 12 years and six kids together, Angelina Jolie files for divorce from Brad Pitt just after their two-year wedding anniversary. Subscribe now for the real story behind the split, only in PEOPLE. Brad Pitt did not strike his son Maddox during a heated mid-flight argument with Angelina Jolie last week, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Pitt is accused of being "verbally abusive" and getting "physical" with one of his children on the family's private plane last Wednesday, a source previously told PEOPLE. The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is investigating the 52-year-old after the alleged incident was reported to them anonymously. The case has also been referred to the FBI under special aircraft jurisdiction due to the incident being mid-flight. "The FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued," the FBI said in a statement. Now the source with knowledge of the incident is speaking exclusively to PEOPLE about Pitt's side of the story. Pitt "was drunk, and there was an argument between him and Angelina," says the source. "There was a parent-child argument which was not handled in the right way and escalated more than it should have." The source says Pitt did not hurt his son. "He is emphatic that it did not reach the level of physical abuse, that no one was physically harmed. He did not hit his child in the face in any way. He did not do that; he is emphatic about that. He put his hands on him, yes, because the confrontation was spiraling out of control." A source close to Pitt says any accusations beyond that are "a combination of exaggerations and lies. They have taken the overall smallest kernel of truth that a fight got out of hand and reached a regrettable peak, and that as a result DCFS is looking into it and they are manipulating it to best suit their attempts to gain custody."

Brad Pitt's Side of the Story: He 'Did Not Hit' Maddox as Plane Fight with Angelina Jolie 'Got Out of Hand,' Says Source| Breakups, Divorced, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt In the petition for divorce Jolie filed on Monday, the actress requested sole physical custody of the couple's six children Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8. As for the ongoing DCFS investigation, the source close to Pitt told PEOPLE, "He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children. It's unfortunate that people involved are continuing to present him in the worst possible light." FLASHBACK: Brad and Angelina at the 2012 Golden Globes The actor has not seen his children in several days, another source close to the family says, noting that "Angelina and Brad have not been in contact at all" since she filed for divorce. "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well being of our kids I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time," Pitt said in a statement to PEOPLE following the divorce filing. In a separate statement, an attorney for Jolie said, "This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time."

    Brad and Angelina

    So, this report was filed with family services the day before she filed for divorce. I could see this being the reason for the split. First, as a mom - mess with my kids, that trumps all... second, if they've been leading separate lives and were set to leave it that way rather than face the bad PR of a separation, bad PR for this could be a violation of their unwritten agreement. ---- Authorities are investigating allegations that actor Brad Pitt was verbally abusive and got physical with one of the children he has with Angelina Jolie, according to multiple reports. >> Read more trending stories The Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services opened an investigation after getting a report of Pitt acting erratically and screaming at one of the couple's children on a private jet last Wednesday, according to TMZ. The report was made a day before the separation date listed by Jolie in a filing made Monday for divorce. Jolie cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the couple's split. They have six children together. INLINE According to PEOPLE, Pitt's alleged tirade focused on one of the children, although the magazine did not identify which child it was. Jolie and some of the other children saw the confrontation, PEOPLE reported. Both PEOPLE and TMZ, citing unnamed sources, said Pitt may have been intoxicated at the time. According to TMZ, "The plane landed at an airport around 8 p.m., and witnesses say Pitt continued his rant on the tarmac, and even tried leaving in one of the fuel trucks." Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from Pitt, 52, Monday and requested sole physical custody of the couple's children. They were married in 2014. "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," Pitt said in a statement released on Monday to PEOPLE. "I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time." In a statement made by her attorney, Jolie said the decision to divorce Pitt "was made for the health of the family."

    Television 2016-2017

    I've checked out This is Us, The Good Place, have set the DVR for Speechless. I was initially planning to try Timeless but it doesn't start until next month and I've been seeing some crappy reviews. This is Us was interesting, I'll definitely watch it a few more times. I love the cast, and even though it's a little hokey, it's just a nice show. The Good Place was a little out there, but because I like the people involved I'll stick with it a while. Any other people have opinions?

    Brad and Angelina

    Wow. Also shocked. I got breaking news alerts on my phone from three separate news agencies. I think it's time to watch the Angelina Jolie PR dance begin. This woman is a master of turning her crazy into America's angel of mercy.

    Joy Kills

    Maybe it's just me, but there are some celebs who have just killed the joy of gossiping about them. As an example, when I see the following things pop up online, I can't even be bothered to write a post about it here because, same shit, different day: Lindsay Lohan is a human train wreck Chris Brown is sub human and does something criminal A Kardashian/Jenner does literally anything Charlie Sheen goes off the deep end I'm sure I'll think of more, but are there any people you are just bored to tears by, you fellow gossip lovers? Has Gwynneth and her never-ending self congratulating killed the joy of a little bit of tittilating gossip? I've noticed a lot of threads that used to be high volume are really slowing down. Is that because we miss Ted so much? The publicists are hiding it better? The stuff the celebs used to try to hide is what they make bank on now, so it's all out there? What/who are your gossip joy kills?

    VMAs 2016

    I'm watching the VMAs with my 15 year old. I've made it to Beyonce's never ending performance before I have been left feeling about 100 years old and culturally irrelevant. I'm probably officially too old to watch this show anymore. Ah, Gen X, we were such a flash in the pan!

    And was it just me or did Britney totally look like she was phoning it in. She just has no spark at all while performing. Does she hate her life?

    The Celeb Price of Fame

    This is really really horrible. This poor woman is being targeted in such an awful way. Entertainment As if Leslie Jones hadnt suffered enough at the hands of internet, the Ghostbusters actress personal website was hacked on Wednesday. Private information, including her passport and a drivers license, as well as multiple nude photos were posted online, TMZ reports. The hacker somehow gained access to the comedians website and reportedly posted a video of Harambe, the gorilla who was shot and killed at a Cincinnati Zoo earlier this summer. Internet trolls have repeatedly used Harambe memes and photos to incite online abuse directed at Jones. According to TMZ, sexually explicit photos of the actress and sensitive personal information soon followed. The gossip site later reported that Jones team took the website offline shortly after news of the attack broke. Jones has been the target of horribly racist attacks ever since she was cast in the reboot of the classic 1984 Ghostbusters film, driving her off social media for a brief period in July. She returned in fine form days later, much to the delight of the legion of fans who continue to defend her against the trolls of the internet. The Huffington Post has reached out to Jones representatives and will update the post accordingly.

    Who'll Split Next? (Version 6.0) - 2016

    That marriage lasted way longer than I (and probably everyone else on the planet) imagined. To be honest, I was shocked when I read the article that 1. It was so long ago 2. They were still together. I'm old.

    My 12 year old daughter and I have been watching GG. We started (happy coincidence) just before they announced the reboot and are half way through season 7 now. We really wanted them to stagger the release, but oh well.

    Lindsay Lohan still broke and a mess

    There's something big and juicy going on with Lindsay and her fiancé. I literally feel so tired of her I just can't even care in a gossipy way. Based on the fact that no one else here posted it, have we hit a Lili wall?

    British Royals

    I've always found Pippa to be very tacky anyway, so all of this fits right in to my picture of her. No matter how big and garish your ring is, you can not compete with 1000 years of Crown Jewels. Just admit Kate won this one and move on.
  18. It's really hard for me to understand the vitriol of people like this, and the people who target women gamers, etc. I guess I'm really naive in that I just can't imagine going there for any reason. I'm always so shocked when I read these stories. Maybe it's because I had a real hippie for a mom. I'm stunned. Really the whole world is shocking to my sensibilities lately.

    Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger

    That all may be true, but then why the big sham of - after ten years together - her moving in with him this spring. That was just unnecessary gamesmanship for a relationship that was over.

    British Royals

    So, she's just royally adjacent, but didn't know where else to put this. She bugs me, but damn, the potential for this to be a photogenic wedding are high. Pippa Middleton Is Engaged to Hedge Funder James Matthews, with Wedding Planned for 2017 After initial reports surfaced last night, today we have confirmation, per the Palace: Pippa Middleton is engaged to hedge-fund manager James Matthews. Pippa pulled the classic I’m a Famous Person Who Is Confirming My Engagement move, which is beaming and flashing a (in this case, quite giant) engagement ring, in front of eager, awaiting photographers. Per reports, Matthews, 40, asked Michael Middleton, Pippa’s father, for permission in advance, with a friend telling outlets, “James is a traditionalist and very much wanted to do things properly.” (Conveniently for Pippa, if she takes James’s last name, she will not have to change any of the monogrammed towels and stationary that we feel very sure the party-planning expert has in ample supply.) As for James (who shares a name with Pippa and Kate’s brother, which we imagine may cause some “Who’s on First?”–style confusion around the dinner table), he is known to be a “sports enthusiast” like Pippa, as the two competed in a “skiing marathon” together last year, taking about six hours to complete the event. He went to the same school that Harry and William attended (Eton), and has, for the past decade, been managing the hedge fund he started (he named the management group after the hotel his parents own in St. Barth’s, which is about as posh an origin story as there’s probably ever been). Matthews and Middleton briefly dated in 2012, a year after Pippa’s sister and William tied the knot, and Pippa (and her bridesmaid’s dress) became internationally famous. The two reconnected last year, and have been back together for less than a year. A statement from the couple confirmed that the engagement took place Sunday (he “got down on one knee while they were visiting the picturesque Lake District”) and that the two plan to “marry next year.” Via Kensington Palace, William and Kate are “absolutely delighted with the news.” Can you imagine Kate Middleton being your maid of honor? Prince George as a ring bearer??! Prince Harry leading the after-party brigade? This is going to be the wedding to end all weddings.

    Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger

    Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson Split After 10 Years Together Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson have split after 10 years together, Us Weekly can confirm. “Diane Kruger and Josh Jackson have decided to separate and remain friends,” reps for both stars tell Us. Kruger, 40, and Jackson, 38, recently moved into a New York City place together in March. The Sky actress previously split her time between Paris and Vancouver but moved to be closer to Jackson. Diane Kruger Joshua Jackson Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson attend the 65th Anniversary Party at the Agora on May 21, 2012, in Cannes, France. Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images “[Moving] was a major commitment,” she told Net-a-Porter’s The Edit at the time. “That’s a big step into adulthood for me, to allow that time for someone else out of my time.” Although the Troy actress has only lived in the Big Apple for a few months, it seems she’s already said goodbye to the city — for now, at least. She posted an Instagram video of the NYC skyline from a plane on Saturday, July 16, writing, “It’s just an au revoir, not an adieu." Kruger also shared a pic of a telling Jimi Hendrix quote on Monday, July 18, which read, "the story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye. The story of love is hello and good-bye until we meet again.” The pair were recently spotted strolling through NYC’s SoHo district on Saturday, just a day after Kruger celebrated her 40th birthday. They last hit the red carpet together when Kruger supported Jackson at the opening of his Broadway play Smart People in February.

We’re both children of divorce, so it’s hard for me to take marriage at face value as the thing that shows you’ve grown up and are committed to another person. But it may change at some point.
