Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: Headed to Trial Over Custody?!
The long, ugly, messy custody battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie isn’t ending any time soon, folks.
The two have been arguing over Brad’s unpaid child support, and it looks like they’ve given up on resolving this without a judge.
The exes formerly known as Brangelina are going to have a custody trial.
It’s been two years since this once-famously in love couple split.
Apparently, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt haven’t been able to settle custody issues themselves in all of that time.
TMZ reports that these bitter exes are going to have a custody trial.
Brad and Angelina have filed documents with an L.A. Superior Court Judge.
They will have until June of 2019 to work out a custody arrangement for their shared children.
And they will have the help of a private judge.
According to TMZ, the custody trial is scheduled to begin nearly a month from now, on December 4.
Angelina and Brad haven’t been able to reconcile their different views of how custody should be arranged.
It seems doubtful that a few more weeks will give them time to see eye-to-eye.
See, Angelina is seeking sole physical custody of their six children.
In the mean time, Brad wants a fifty-fifty split — joint custody.
Apparently the custody trial itself is expected to last anywhere from two to three weeks.
But that is only part of the process.
The judge will have to pour over the evidence and arguments presented at trial and reach a verdict regarding custody.
It also falls to this judge to handle the couple’s property settlement.
Angelina and Brad did not have a prenup.
Given that they are both intensely wealthy and extremely bitter towards each other, this is one of the worst situations for not having a prenup.
Brad has been seriously bitter and complained that Angelina has denied him access to his own children.
Recently, the court forced Angelina to allow Brad some time with the children.
She was also required to give him their phone numbers and allow them to communicate with him.
If Brad gets his way in court, he’ll get them with him half of the time, and there will be little to nothing that Angelina can do about it.
If Angelina gets her way, it’s unlikely that she’ll be forced to hand over access to the six children.
If you recall the circumstances of their divorce in the first place, it’s no mystery why Angelina is so reluctant to expose her children to Brad.
It was only two years ago that something happened on the couple’s private plane.
Whatever the specifics of the reported altercation between Brad and the couple’s son, Maddox, it led Angelina to file for divorce the next day.
She also reported Brad PItt to the FBi — for child abuse.
Maddox is old enough that this custody ruling is unlikely to impact him.
But it seems likely that, after whatever she witnessed, Angelina is afraid that history will repeat itself. She can’t risk it.
But she may have no choice, depending upon what this judge decides.
Courts tend to err on the side of giving parents access to their children, out of a belief that this is ultimately best for the child.
If Brad convinces the court that he’s probably not a danger to their children, Angelina will be hard pressed to get anything more than joint custody.
Whatever happens, we hope that the court makes the right decision for the safety and well-being of the children.
That, in the end, is all that matters.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie About to Go to Trial in Custody War

Angelina Jolie: In the Market for Husband #4!
Attention, men around the world!
You may want to scoot a little closer to the computer screen for this announcement.
Are you ready for it? Are you certain? Okay, here it goes…
You may be able to marry Angelina Jolie!
We can’t make any guarantees, of course. That would be ridiculous.
But an insider tells Heat Magazine that Jolie is sick and tired of being single and she’s prepared to do something about it.
“Right now, Ange’s looking at potential suitors who have been suggested by her business team,” a source tells this random publication, adding;
“She’s also putting the word out in high-powered circles.”
Okay, fair enough. Perhaps we ought to amend our opening sentence to read:
Attention, rich and famous men around the world… you may be able to marry Angelina Jolie!
As you very likely know by now, Jolie and Brad Pitt filed for divorce in September of 2016.
To this day, it seems hard to believe, despite all the bad blood that apparently exists between the stars and all the mean things that have been said back and forth between them in the press.
In mid-August, Jolie was ordered to green light more time for Pitt and the ex-couple’s six children, leaving her bitter and allegedly angry over the whole situation.
Is that why Jolie is now looking to move on once and for all?
We don’t know.
However, Heat Magazine write the following:
“Flying solo was beneficial for a while.
“Ange needed to heal after the breakup with Brad – but it’s been long enough and her self-imposed exile from men is over.”
It continues:
“She knows a lot of people in the industry who are as good at matchmaking as they are at producing films.”
It’s been rumored, meanwhile, that Pitt has found romance again, either with some woman named Neri Oxman or with Jennifer Aniston.
And this source claims that “seeing Brad move on has put a fire under [Angelina]” to go out and do the same.
If she really is on the market, it’s hard to think of any woman who would be more sought after than Angelina Jolie.
What sort of man is she hoping to find?
“She hasn’t felt a real spark in ages and she misses it,” the source concludes. “She’d like someone who can match her intellect, but most importantly, she needs a physical connection.”
Ah, okay. So there it is.
Jolie really just wants a good f-ck.
Which men out there think they can give it to her?

Jersey Shore Recap: Vinny vs. Angelina vs. Common Sense
They… are… back!
Well, they were back.
But. technicality aside, the cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation returned to Seaside Heights on Thursday night’s new episode of this MTV revival, hunkering back down in their former quarters and, well…
… getting very drunk!
After the group took numerous shots to celebrate their reunion in the Garden State, Snooki spotted a note from Danny. It read:
“Got you some drinks and food. Have a good time. Please don’t trash the house.”
LOL, right? Did he forget to whom he was writing?!?
While getting a family dinner ready, a rather pregnant Deena asked Snooki to make her her “famous grilled cheese.”
No problem. Easy enough.
From there, The Situation insisted on making his favorite Funfetti cake and all seemed perfectly calm when the clique sound down to dine together.
But then Angelina asked if she could make a speech, Vinny jokingly turned her down, a bit of banter ensued — and then things got ugly.
Pivarnick seemingly referred either to her time as a high school classmate’s or Vinny, or to the time the two smushed, when she told the table that she had a “loaded gun” in her “chamber.”
What kind of dirt was she implying she had on her housemate?
“Well, I don’t have a chamber on you because I don’t think about you ever,” Vinny replied.
“Don’t lie! You think about me day, f-cking afternoon and night,” Angelina clapped back
“These two got beef right here,” said The Situation, while Snooki chimed in as follows:
“I am praying that Angelina and Vinny hook up. There is so much sexual tension.”
And this is when Angelina let her bomb drop, screaming at Vinny:
“You know you used to hit me up back in the day and f-cking try to f-ck me! And say you wanted to take me out on a date and f-cking get to know me!”
Oh. That was it?
Yes. But it was enough to cause everyone to lose it.
“This is why I hate having this girl here,” Vinny said.
“If you don’t like me, my question to you is, why’d you bang me then? Even if it was a hate bang, you wouldn’t hate bang a girl you didn’t think was attractive,” she hilariously responded.
Is this how folks flirt in Staten Island, Paul D wondered?
Angelina eventually shot up from the table and started chasing Vinny around the house because he called her a “f-ck.”
The argument only escalated when Sitch handed her a ketchup bottle as ammunition and Jenni gave Vin bottles of salad dressing and mustard.
Oh, yes: FOOD FIGHT!
Both Angelina and Vinny ended up covered in condiments when the latter reached for the fire extinguisher. He positively blasted Angelina with it.
“Yo, Danny is not gonna be happy about this,” Mike said amid the obviously planned chaos.
“No!” Snooki yelled back. “We’re like older now! We’re like 30!”
After an awkward exchange with Danny the following day at the T-shirt store, the group got back to the Shore House and Sitch ate his beloved ake.
However, for some werd reason, Angelina dared herself to stick her bare butt in the delicacy. And then she did just that and then she chased the guys around the house.
And that was basically that.
The writers really need to work on some actual storylines, don’t they?

Brad Pitt: I"ll Never Love Angelina Jolie Again; She Made My Life Hell!
In court, Angelina Jolie has slammed Brad Pitt for being a deadbeat dad, and clarified publicly that a loan is not child support.
The fighting during their messy divorce has reached a turning point.
Insiders say that Brad is no longer interested in reconciliation with Angelina. He just wants his kids.
“Brad couldn’t care less about Angelina supposedly missing him or regretting filing for divorce,” an insider reveals to HollywoodLife.
“That relationship,” the source continues. “Is well and truly over as far as he’s concerned.”
The rest of us have known that since late 2016, so it’s great to hear that he’s figured it out.
“And,” the insider continues. “Brad has zero desire to revisit it, and give it a second shot.”
That sounds like it’s best for everyone involved — Brad, Angelina, and especially the children.
“The past couple of years have been a living hell for Brad,” the source shares.
“And,” the insider shares. “It’s made him question if he ever actually, truly, knew the real Angelina.”
That is curious, since the upsetting circumstances that led Angelina to file for divorce left many former fans feeling that way about him.
The source explains that it’s because “because he never imagined that the woman he fell in love with and married …”
The insider continues: “… could behave in the way she has toward him.”
“But he’s made his peace with it now,” the source adds.
“And,” the insider continues. “He’s moved on.”
Not just with Neri Oxman, but emotionally.
It sounds like he’s accepted that life is never going back to the way that it was.
Brad apparently has a new priority.
“All that he’s focused on is securing access to his kids,” the source reveals.
It is these children, the insider explains, “who are absolutely everything to Brad.”
We’re sure that Brad, like so many people, wishes that he hadn’t done whatever he did on that plane to get Angelina to report him to the FBI for child abuse.
Curiously, an inside source says that it’s now Angelina who wishes things were a little different.
“The further Angelina gets from their split,” the source claims. “The more she thinks about Brad.”
“And,” the insider continues, Angelina allegedly “misses having him in her life.”
It’s normal to occassionally wax nostalgic about past relationships, even ones that failed spectacularly and which you know you ended for the right reasons.
But this source says that Angelina finds herself thinking these thoughts “on a daily basis.”
This is so worrisome to hear.
“Lately,” the insider claims. “There are times when Angelina feels major regrets over ending things with Brad.”
Even worse, the source says that “there are days she can’t help but question if she made the right choices for her family.”
Those who have gone through difficult divorces know that sometimes, you wonder if it would have been best to just accept and ignore your situation.
“The more her anger at him fades,” the source alleges. “The more she misses him.”
We have to say that we have a hard time accepting the report about Angelina.
Oh, we’re willing to believe that Brad is angry and perhaps bitter and no longer wants to try vainly to rekindle what he and Angelina once had.
But the source claims to know Angelina’s thoughts.
We’re sure that Angelina feels a lot of conflicting emotions about her history with Brad.
But in the end, she probably knows that she did the right thing.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Fixed Their Relationship In a "Secret Meeting" [Report]
Back in September of 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt following an incident aboard an aircraft that remains shrouded in mystery.
The former couple has experienced their share of ups and downs in the years since, but those who know Pitt and Jolie best say there have been more downs than ups.
While they’ve mostly refrained from talking about their situation publicly, it’s common knowledge that Brad and Angelina’s divorce has been a messy one, with both parties taking action make life more difficult for the other.
For most of the past two years, Pitt and Jolie were not even on speaking terms, communicating instead through attorneys and professional mediators.
So the news that Brad and Angelina arranged a secret meeting in order to settle their differences has come as quite a shock to fans:
“Brad and Angelina actually set up a secret meeting at her house,” a source tells E! News.
“It’s the first time they have truly gotten together to make things work since their group therapy with the children. Brad and Angie’s meeting was a success.
“They are going to stay with the plan set forth through the courts.”
The insider adds that it was Jolie who made the decision to attempt a detente with Brad:
“Angelina decided it was time to try to make things work and Brad was relieved and very ready for the offer,” the source continues.
“Brad has been dedicated to making peace throughout the process and now it finally seems like they are at a point where they can create a calmer situation for the kids.”
The timing of the truce is rather odd, as just last month, Jolie filed court documents accusing Brad of failure to pay “meaningful child support.”
The source claims that since that filing, Angelina reached the realization that in deciding to go nuclear against Brad, she was causing collateral damage to her children.
“Angelina created a very difficult situation for Brad and the children and she has finally realized her behavior backfired,” the insider claims.
“Angelina loves her kids very much and it seems like she felt threatened she might lose time with them and, in turn, she went on the attack. Unfortunately, everyone in the family has suffered,” the tipster continues.
“She started to see a change in the kids’ behavior because they missed their dad,” the source adds.
“The kids’ reaction to the divorce actually helped Angie try a different tact.”
While it’s unfortunate that it took Pitt and Jolie years to reach a mutually amicable co-parenting relationship, we applaud them for their efforts.
And much more importantly, we’re sure their kids will thank them.

Pauly D: Angelina Pivarnick Cheated On Her Fiancé With Vinny Guadagnino!
If you’ve been watching the show this season, then you’re probably aware that producers keep introducing the Staten Island Hamster into the festering rodent cage that is Jersey Shore Family Vacation.
Thus far, the decision to have Angelina Pivarnick haul her duct-taped garbage bag full of clothes all over the country in pursuit of the housemates’ friendship has yielded mixed results.
Sure, Angelina remains annoying AF, but if it weren’t for the rage she brings to the table, the show would be nothing but non-stop Ronnie baby mama drama.
Plus, having packed up her Hefty Cinch-Sack and exited the Shore house (twice!) early on in the show’s original run, Angelina provides an interesting link to the guidos’ past.
The rest of the cast has mostly moved on from the pettiness of the pasts, but Angelina is still all about that mess.
It’s sort of like if you met up with your best friend from third grade and found out that paste is still his favorite food.
Try not to think too hard about that Angelina/paste eating analogy as we continue with this story. Trust us.
As we discussed last week, Angelina hooked up with Vinny — and, well, just about every other guy in the house during her initial, short-lived tenure on JS.
It was all thought to be ancient history, but now, a new rumor holds that Angie and Vin visited the smush room together while filming the show’s current season.
That may sound like a tough one to swallow (again, we apologize for our choice of imagery), but believe it or not, Vinny’s most trusted confidante says it’s totally plausible.
“I believe it, I don’t know, I believe it,” Pauly said, when asked about the rumor by OK! magazine.
“He’s allowed to hook up with women, just no other guys,” the DJ joked, referring to his bromance with Vinny.
Kidding aside, Pauly proceeded to point out that Angelina might be in trouble if it turns out the rumors are true:
“She’s engaged, though, so if they did [hook up], that’s a problem for her.”
Perhaps we’ll find out later in the season if Vinny and Angelina really went there — or perhaps not.
Either way, the housemates’ romantic past has been a frequent topic of conversation on the current season of JSFV.
“You guys fight all the time. You have like, one more hate bang to get out,” Ronnie joked on last week’s episode.
But unlike Stormy Daniels, who seems to vividly recall the horrid fungal dimensions of Donald Trump’s penis, Angelina is suffering from a severe case of dong-related amnesia when it comes to Vinny.
“No, I’m not f–king DTF anymore, Vin,” she said on Thursday’s installment.
“Been there, done that with you. I honestly don’t remember your dick. I’m not being mean. I’m not saying it’s small. I’m saying I don’t remember!”
Sounds like Angelina may be in need of a crash course on Vinny’s peen.
Of course, in this case, we guess you’d call it a smush course.

Jennifer Aniston: Gleeful Over Angelina Jolie"s Life Falling Apart!
Brad Pitt is still going through his divorce, and apparently Jennifer Aniston feels so bad for him.
That happiness reportedly stems almost entirely from schadenfreude over Angelina Jolie’s misfortune.
In fact, it sounds like Jen is gleefully dancing on the ashes of Angelina’s entire life.
The once epic love story of Brangelina has devolved into a nasty, acrimonious divorce that neither side can keep quiet.
RadarOnline has gained some insight into how Jennifer Aniston is allegedly feeling about all of this.
“Jen’s in a very positive place right now,” an insider reveals.
Apparently, Aniston’s cheerful disposition doesn’t come from spiritual enlightenment or doing yoga or loving herself.
It seems that her joyful mood comes from watching Angelina’s life in shambles.
“She’s privately ecstatic to see Angelina at rock bottom,” the source says.
As we have mentioned, Angelina filed court documents to try to prompt Brad Pitt to pay his fair share of child support.
Brad fired back that he’s given her tons of money and accused her of filing court documents as part of a “media manipulation” campaign.
Angelina replied with a statement that a loan is not child support, my good dude, but apparently Jennifer Aniston enjoyed the drama from afar.
“She never doubted Angie would self-destruct eventually,” the insider says.
Aniston was apparently confident of this “even when she was at her most smug and supposedly loved-up with Brad.”
It might sound wildly out of character for Jennifer Aniston to be cackling like a Disney villain at the very real misfortunes of a real woman with real feelings.
But the insider explains: “This is a woman Jen views as pure evil.”
That’s an odd perspective, since it’s hard to see how Angelina realistically wronged Aniston, but feelings don’t have to be rational.
“So,” the source asks. “Is she happy to see her miserable and getting the payback she deserves?”
The insider makes it clear that this is not a rhetorical question, answering: “You bet she is.”
Apparently, Aniston believes that this is justice on a cosmic, spiritual scale.
“Jen’s a huge believer in karma,” the source shares. “And she despises Angie.”
It’s often a mistake to believe that the spiritual order of the cosmos just happens to align with your personal grudges.
The insider adds: “She’s finding it hard not to smile when the (divorce) comes up.”
Well, we are all entitled to a little schadenfreude. And it’s hard to see how the former Friends star feeling this way hurts anyone.
That is an interesting read.
However, we do have to ask … is this really how Jennifer Aniston feels?
We would like to think that Jen doesn’t spend all day moping around her home, wondering about what life with Brad would be like if they’d never split.
Similarly, we would like to think that this source, though decidedly Team Jen, is wrong about her alleged vindictive feelings.
If anything, Jen and Angelina have a lot in common — they’re both successful actresses who have years of happy memories with Brad even though those memories are tainted by their bitter breakups.
Honestly, it sounds like they’re both amazing, talented women who gave years of their lives to a man who threw away what they had.

Angelina Jolie Slams Brad Pitt: A Loan is NOT Child Support!!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been trying to keep this ugly divorce as private as possible, but now their contentious battle has spilled out into the open.
Angelina can prove that Brad is an unfit father, because he hasn’t paid child support. Brad replied by slamming that as “media manipulation.”
Now, Angelina is firing back … and spilling a whole lot of details about his failings as a father.
Angelina’s attorney, Samantha Bley DeJean, tells People that Angelina’s grievances against Brad Pitt are legit.
She says that Angelina’s court filing “was both legally appropriate and factually accurate in all respects.”
“What has been filed by Brad’s side today is a blatant attempt to obfuscate the truth,” DeJean states.
“And,” DeJean continues, Brad wishes to “distract from the fact that he has not fully met his legal obligations to support the children.”
In other words, she’s saying that Brad doesn’t want the world to know that he’s a deadbeat dad.
So … what’s this business about a loan? As you may recall, Brad countered that he had loaned her $ 8 million to purchase a home.
“Following the incident of September 2016,” DeJean explains. “Angelina and the children needed to move from the family home, which Brad chose to keep, including all of its contents.”
The incident being the one that took place on a plane and led to Brad Pitt being investigated for child-abuse.
If Brad wasn’t going to leave, then Angelina had not real choice but to move out.
This was when, DeJean says, Brad was “asked to assist in the expense of a new home for Angelina.”
Brad offered assistance … after a fashion.
“Instead,” DeJean says. “He loaned Angelina money, for which he is charging her interest on a payment plan.”
Yikes. While interest on $ 8 million is definitely something that Angelina can afford, she might as well have gone to a bank for the loan instead of to the man who claimed the family home for himself.
DeJean affirms that Angelina fully intends to “honor that loa.n”
However, DeJean makes clear: “A loan is not, however, child support and to represent it as such is misleading and inaccurate.”
So it’s not like Angelina is trying to weasel out of paying interest on the loan.
Instead, DeJean says, she “is asking Brad to pay 50% of the children’s expenses.” You know, his job as a parent.
Unfortunately, DeJean says, Brad “has not” been contributing his fair share.
“Angelina has had to shoulder the majority of those without his contribution for the past two years,” DeJean says.
DeJean reminds everyone: “Child support is not optional in California.”
“Typically,” DeJean says. “A father of means would pay these expenses voluntarily”
A good father would, anyway. But we suppose that a good father wouldn’t do whatever Brad did on that plane to end his marriage and get himself investigated by the FBI, either.
DeJean says that a normal father with the cash would already be paying “without the need for a request or court order.”
This might be a good time to mention that, according to the internet, Brad Pitt’s net worth is nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.
DeJean concludes: “We are hopeful that this can be resolved without further delay or posturing.”
Divorces can be messy — especially ones that are triggered by an incident of alleged child-abuse rather than by a marriage slowly succumbing to entropy.
Angelina and Brad have tried to keep the details of their divorce quiet for a host of reasons.
We suppose that it’s no surprise that what’s making them lash out at each other publicly is money.
Just because Angelina is a wealthy woman who can afford to single-handedly provide for all of her children does not mean that she should have to.
We hope that both parties are doing their part for their children, as required by the law and also by basic decency.

Brad Pitt Fires Back at Angelina Jolie, Accuses Ex of Media Manipulation
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are, objectively, two of the best looking people on the planet.
It is therefore ironic that their divorce proceedings have taken a turn for the very very ugly.
On Tuesday afternoon, Jolie raised the stakes in her legal battle against Pitt by filing court documents that accused the actor of basically stiffing her out of child support payments.
Despite the stars not even having a formal financial arrangement in regard to their six children, an attorney for Jolie said in a two-page brief that Pitt “has paid no meaningful child support since separation.”
She added that her famous client intends to file for the “establishment of a retroactive child support order.”
This is a pretty damning accusation, as it managed to paint Pitt as both a bad father and as a cheapskate.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that Pitt has now fired back.
HARD.
On Wednesday, Pitt detailed (through his own set of legal papers) how he lent Jolie approximately $ 8 million to help her purchase her current house.
He also says he paid more than $ 1.3 million in bills for the benefit of her and their kids: Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
In full, Pitt’s response reads as follows:
“There is no need for a Case Management Conference to schedule a hearing or filing deadlines regarding child support.
“[Pitt] adamantly disputes the contention that he has not paid significant child support.
“[Pitt] has previously loaned [Jolie] $ 8 million to assist her in purchasing her current residence and has paid over $ 1.3 million in bills for the benefit of [Jolie] and the minor children.”
Aside from this rundown, however, Pitt’s attorney also said Jolie’s filing is “unnecessary, omits material information and is a thinly-veiled effort to manipulate media coverage.”
Like we said, things have turned very ugly.
And also very personal.
Jolie alleges to have proof that Pitt is an unfit father, but we have yet to see it.
Some have argued for some time now that Jolie is simply trying to make her estranged husband look as terrible as possible in order to win full custody of her kids.
This allegation goes way back to when Pitt was investigated by the FBI for an alleged altercation between himself and his teenage son Maddox right around the time the stars separated in September 2016.
The actor was never found to have acted illegally or inappropriate, not in any official manner.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt nearly two years ago, citing irreconcilable differences.
The split seemed relatively calm and amicable for awhile, most notably just this past June when Jolie and Pitt reached a new temporary custody agreement.
It laid out all of the dates during the summer that the actor will have custody of the six kids.
A spokesperson for the actress released a statement shortly afterward which aimed to dispel the notion that Jolie was trying to paint Pitt with a negative brush in the press.
“From the start, Angelina has been focused only on [the kids’] health and needs, which is why it was so important that this last court hearing be conducted privately,” this statement, in regard to leaks, read.
It concluded:
“It’s deplorable that someone, for their own selfish reasons, leaked selective portions of the confidential and sealed court record to create an inaccurate and unfair picture of what is really happening.”
SIGH.
We’re not even trying to take sides here.
We just think it’s very depressing that it has come to this for the couple formerly known as Brangelina, don’t you?
