Baby and Bump Obsession The Brange twins are 9 Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt turned 9 years old yesterday. To celebrate, Angelina Jolie took them to Disneyland with their older brothers and sisters.

Relationship Assumption The first post-Brange summer It’s been over 10 years since we’ve experienced a summer when Brange wasn’t a thing.

Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina Jolie’s Mother’s Day dinner Here’s Angelina Jolie last night after Mother’s Day dinner with Pax. Not sure where the other five children were.

Media Manipulation Angelina Jolie spends time with Jon Voight E! News reports that Angelina Jolie and four of the children had dinner with Jon Voight this week. Follow that link to see photos. A daughter and a father having dinner is not newsworthy. What makes this newsworthy, of course, is that the relationship between Angelina and Jon has always By Lainey • May 12, 2017 01:10 pm
Faux Gossip Intro for May 4, 2017 Dear Gossips, This is the cover of the new issue of US Weekly - what really happened on the plane last September to kick off World War Brange.

Gossip Nostalgia Babysitting Angelina Sherry Lansing used to be the head of Paramount, the first woman to head a Hollywood film studio. She has stories. She obviously can’t tell all of the stories.

Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina’s first lecture Angelina Jolie arrived in London the other day ahead of her first lecture at the London School of Economics today.

Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina’s weekend in London Angelina Jolie and all six kids were photographed at LAX on Saturday heading to London. Where I grew up, in Toronto, the unofficial term for this time of year is “March break”. Some schools call it “winter break”. And of course in the US I’ve heard “spring break”.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Oscars, Angelina, Jake G’s pivot, and how women diversify Sorry again for missing out on the podcast last week. Duana and I were in LA for the Oscars and our podcast studio (my living room) isn’t mobile yet. But what a week to miss… We’ve had questions about how the Oscar f-ck-up could have happened. And while By Lainey • Mar 06, 2017 03:26 pm
Angelina Jolie Memories of Miraval Yesterday when I wrote about Angelina Jolie’s Guerlain ad, I wondered about the scenes that take place in the vineyard, and presumed it wouldn’t be at Miraval. Miraval, of course, is Brange’s French chateau where they produce their award-winning rosé. Thanks to Fiona’s eagle eye (thanks By Lainey • Mar 02, 2017 10:27 am
Angelina Jolie The Notes of Angelina Have you seen the full-length version of Angelina Jolie’s Mon Guerlain ad yet? The title of the piece is Notes Of A Woman.

Oscars 2017 Jennifer Aniston: A Quiet Victory Lap Let’s face it, unless she walks the red carpet with Brad Pitt (or Angelina Jolie), any Jennifer Aniston Oscar appearance is going to seem kind of quiet compared to the year the triangle came face-to-face. But I never count Jen out. First, the look. She’s always good to By Maria • Feb 27, 2017 01:42 pm
Media Manipulation Angelina on GMA Angelina’s first interview since World War Brange was with the BBC on the weekend from Cambodia where she screened First They Killed My Father.
