Gigi Hadid defends herself

OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid has defended herself after appearing to elbow a man in Milan.
The 21-year-old model was criticised for appearing to lash out at a fan as she and her sister Bella made their way back to their car following the Max Mara fashion show.
She wrote on Twitter: “To unknown article writer: fan?!!! The ACTUAL fans that were there can tell you what happened.
“I’m a HUMAN BEING – and had EVERY RIGHT to defend myself. How dare that idiot thinks he has the right to man-handle a complete stranger. He ran quick tho (sic)”
During the incident, Gigi used her elbow to protect herself as the unknown man tried to grab her and pick her up.
Whilst fame can be difficult at times, Gigi is glad to have her “girl squad” – which includes the likes of Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss – to help her navigate the tough territory.
She said previously: “Yeah it is definitely, between us, an open conversation. The reason you become so close to people in the industry is that they understand what it is that you are experiencing.
“We all teach and learn from one another. If you have a question about privacy, for example, everyone is super helpful about it.”
And Gigi is also pleased to have her boyfriend Zayn Malik to go home to.
Asked what she finds most attractive about the One Direction star, she said: “I would say his brain. For the first time, we are both in a relationship where we have very similar interests outside of work and that is really important.
“We cook a lot together and do art together and we’re each others’ best friends. We both feel we can talk about anything and learn a lot from one another.
“I’m also getting super into British foods. I’m loving Heinz baked beans in the morning, yeah and Z cooks a lot. He makes a brilliant curry. Butter chicken is his signature dish. Don’t worry – he’s representing good for the British boys!”

Brad Pitt not being probed by police

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt is not being investigated by police over child abuse allegations.
It had been claimed the ‘Moneyball’ actor was being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) over claims he had verbally and physically abused one of his children – Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight – while drunk on a private jet last week, an incident which led his wife Angelina Jolie to file for divorce.
However, LAPD representatives insist there are currently “no active investigations” involving the actor.
They said in a statement “LAPD is not handling any report or allegations into child abuse for Mr. Brad Pitt.”
And the Public Information Officer for the LAPD said: “We don’t have anything on Brad Pitt right now. We have confirmed with the detectives, and according to our detectives there are no active investigations regarding Brad Pitt.”
However, a police source told TMZ the case has been passed over to the FBI as because the alleged incident happened in the air, LAPD officials had no jurisdiction.
Police Sgt. Barry Montgomery admitted he wanted to put rumours “to rest” regarding the 52-year-old star.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “We have no criminal investigation that we are actively pursuing.
“To my knowledge, [Pitt talking to police] never happened. And right now, that is where our office is. We are not investigating any case, nor do we have any allegations against Mr. Pitt. We understand how rumours get spun up, and hopefully we can put a few of them to rest. We have no investigation involving Mr. Pitt.”
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles DCFS has also denied the ‘By the Sea’ actor was being investigated.
But asked whether the department had been alerted to any incident involving Brad, they told Business Insider: “Do you think even if we had we would share it with you?”
It had been alleged that when Brad’s private plane landed at eight in the evening, the actor continued to shout before trying to leave the airport in a fuel truck.
Meanwhile, it was previously claimed that there was a specific “incident” in the week before Angelina called off her marriage which led to her decision to end their relationship.
A source said at the time: “The final divorce decision was only made one week ago. An incident took place and prompted Angelina to act and file.”
In a recent statement, Brad said that whilst he is “very saddened” by the couple’s impending divorce, his focus is on the wellbeing of their children.
He said: “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids.
“I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”

Gina Rodriguez hates being Photoshopped

OHMYGOSSIP — Gina Rodriguez hates being Photoshopped.
The ‘Jane The Virgin’ star would rather have all her “flaws” on display than have her curves and birthmark edited away.
She told the October issue of Women’s Health magazine: “This day and age of Photoshopping and transforming oneself and filtering and filtering and filtering, it really feels good when a photo can capture my heart, my body, my spirit, without having to gloss over it. Let me keep my curves, my birthmark. I want to look like myself …
“People will say you are not attractive. People will say you are not skinny enough, not tall enough, not thick enough, not curvy enough, not white enough, not brown enough, not this enough. Well, I really hope you don’t feel that way about yourself, because then we’re all screwed.”
Meanwhile, the 32-year-old actress previously insisted she is more than just her looks.
She shared: “I am not my beauty. Who I am is not my f***ing hair, and to be an actor is to transform.
“To represent a community is to commit, to give my entire all. So if I’m going to represent Latinos in the industry and in art, if I’m going to represent my little cousins in Chicago, they’re going to know that I went full-out. Who are we afraid of? What are we afraid of? The worst thing that can happen is we die. Anything else you can handle.”
And the brunette beauty loves being a role model to women and men across the world.
She added: “A strong leader is one who creates other leaders. So if I am encouraging young girls to take control of their lives, to spread kindness, then I am doing the job God put me here to do. With every attempt we make within the industry, with every project I take, it will be to advance women. Not only women of colour but all women and men.”

Brad Pitt is being investigated for child abuse

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt is reportedly being investigated for child abuse.
The ‘By The Sea’ actor allegedly verbally and physically abused one of his children whilst drunk on a private jet last week, an incident which led his wife Angelina Jolie to file for divorce.
A source close to the actor told TMZ: “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.”
The Los Angeles Police Department are working with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services to investigate the claims that Brad screamed at one of his children.
It is alleged that when the plane landed at eight in the evening, the 52-year-old actor continued to shout before trying to leave the airport in a fuel truck.
Brad and Angelina are said to have been interviewed by officers and there are plans for the Department of Children and Family Services to interview their six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight.
Meanwhile, it was previously claimed that there was a specific “incident” in the week before Angelina called off her marriage which led to her decision to end their relationship.

Jeff Bridges overcame anxiety

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeff Bridges has revealed advice his mother gave him as a youngster has helped his anxiety.
The 66-year-old big screen icon – who is appearing in new crime drama ‘Hell or High Water’ – was given acting lessons from his father Lloyd Bridges, an actor who starred in many classics including ‘A Walk in the Sun’ and ‘High Noon’.
But it was mother Dorothy Bridges who has helped keep his anxiousness at bay.
He said: “There’s a lot of anxiety in filmmaking; you get flops and a fear of failure. But when I went off to work as a young kid, my mom would always say, ‘Remember now: have fun, and don’t take it too seriously.’ That advice has really served me. Don’t take yourself too damn seriously.”
But Bridges says it feels “great” when things turn out to be even better than he expected on a project.
He said: “You always have high hopes when you start out and every once in a while those hopes are transcended. It’s even better than you thought. Sometimes the pieces don’t quite come together. Most often, actually. It’s kind of weird when it all comes together, but when it does it feels great.”
And ‘The Big Lebowski’ star puts his longevity down to always playing a diverse array of characters and not allowing himself to become stereotyped.
He explained: “I’ve always been very conscious about not developing a strong persona. Actors that do carry that baggage with them in all the parts they play. It’s harder for the audience to see them as a character they’re not used to seeing them portray. Mix it up and you get offered a bunch of different types of roles. It sends a message and that might help with longevity in a career.”

Dolly Parton won't ride rollercoasters

OHMYGOSSIP — Dolly Parton won’t go on rollercoaster rides in fear her breasts will “fall out”.
The 70-year-old singer songwriter has admitted she has avoided belting up to go to her theme park Dollywood for a “long time” because she gets motion sickness and is always worried “something” may slip out in public whilst she is turned upside down on a loop-the-loop.
Speaking to Q magazine about her concern for rides, the buxom blonde said: “That was a long time ago!
“We’ve got several rollercoaster the kids are really enjoying but they’re too much for me.
“I don’t usually ride the rides because I have a tendency to get motion sickness or worse – I’m afraid something will fall out that we don’t need to see in public!”
And the iconic country musician has revealed she also can’t stand waiting for people and gets very “irritated” when people aren’t punctual.
She explained: “I get a little irritated when people aren’t on time and make me run late. It’s my pet peeve. I’m a very prompt person so it gets me more upset than anything.”
Meanwhile, Dolly – who has been married to her husband Carl Deane for 50 years – has admitted she regularly returns to her childhood home in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, to see her family and to renovate her property in a bid to make it look “poor”, despite spending “a couple million dollars” on.
Speaking about her hometown and the new project, the ‘9 to 5’ hitmaker said: “I was back home just a few weeks ago! I always go back to see my kinfolk. I bought the old place and fixed it up, almost like a movie set, trying to recapture how it was.
“I’ve spent a couple million dollars trying to make it look like we’re poor again.”

Shania Twain signs with Madonna's Maverick Management

OHMYGOSSIP — Shania Twain has signed with Madonna’s Maverick Management.
The 51-year-old country superstar has signed a new deal with the management company founded by the ‘Like A Virgin’ hitmaker after her successful run of shows in Las Vegas.
Also snapped up in the newest signing of artists by the company is blind opera singer Andrea Bocelli and Darius Rucker.
The new additions join the likes of Fifth Harmony, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Sir Paul McCartney and Madonna herself.
The ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman!’ hitmaker will be managed by Scott Rodger, whilst 57-year-old Andrea will find himself in the capable hands of Scott and Maverick co-founder Guy Oseary.
The new management signing might not be without its drama, however, as it was recently revealed that the ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ singer has quite high demands when she stays in a hotel.
The star’s new management will have to make sure that flowers such as lilies should not be present in her room, but that bouquets of roses must be placed in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The musician also requests that a naturally scented candle is to be placed in each room, and the suite should contain no less than seven dehumidifiers.
The ‘You’re Still The One’ hitmaker also demands six different vegetarian meal choices for lunch and dinner, even if she chooses not to order room service.

James Arthur reconciles with ex Jessica Grist

OHMYGOSSIP — James Arthur has reconciled with ex-girlfriend Jessica Grist.
The former ‘X Factor’ winner is enjoying a career renaissance following him being dropped by Syco Music in 2014 in the wake of a string of controversies.
James has been re-signed to Syco by Simon Cowell and his new single ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ is currently sitting at number two in the UK singles chart this week just behind ‘Closer’ by The Chainsmokers and Halsey.
As well as a professional boost, the 28-year-old musician is also enjoying a renaissance in his love life as he has rekindled his romance with stunning Jessica, who he first met in 2012 when she was working as a dancer on ‘The X Factor’.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “It’s still very early days in their relationship but they were so close when they were together before that it’s no wonder they have been drawn back to each other. James won’t be making many public appearances with Jessica because he doesn’t want anything to harm their chances this time around.”
The pair are set to spend a lot of time apart due to their hectic schedules but they are both fully “committed” to the relationship.
The source added: “She is really busy and tours as a dancer around the world which makes things difficult, especially with James’ schedule getting more hectic. But they both want to make things work and are committed to making things work.”
Despite taking the decision to axe him from Syco, Simon stayed in touch with James as he worked hard to rebuild his career and win back any fans who had turned their back on him following his use of homophobic slurs in a rap diss track and on Twitter.
And the music mogul had no hesitation in re-signing him once he could see that James had overcome his personal issues.
An industry insider previously said: “Over the last few years James has kept in touch with Simon. Simon has always thought James is a real talent but as soon as he heard the record he made up his mind to re-sign him.
“James has grown up a lot and realises he made mistakes in the past. Simon knows this. Syco will distribute James’ new album in the UK when it comes out later this year.”

Swizz Beatz accused of re-selling leased cars

OHMYGOSSIP — Alicia Keys’ husband Swizz Beatz has been accused of re-selling leased luxury cars.
The 38-year-old music producer – real name Kasseem Dean – has been hit with the lawsuit by a Brooklyn company for allegedly conspiring with an auto dealer to resell high-end vehicles that had been leased for himself and his wife Alicia, 35.
The $42 million (£32 million) lawsuit, filed on Wednesday (21.09.16), accuses Swizz of civil racketeering – a process in which organised groups run illegal businesses.
Metro-Gem Leasing and Funding Corp. accused Swizz of leasing 11 cars through his production company, and then – with the help of middle-man Macky Dancy – attempting to sell them on to a third party.
The cars in question, which included a Bentley Continental and a Ferrari F12, were loaned to Swizz by Metro-Gem, who said they were happy to provide the cars “for use for him and his wife Alicia Keys”.
The lawsuit claims that Swizz and Macky illegally resold the Ferrari – which retails at roughly $330,000 (£254,192) – for an unknown price which is thought to be at a mark up to the retail value.
However, a representative for Swizz claimed that he was being wrongly accused, and said that both he and Macky are “innocent”.
The spokesperson said: “[Swizz Beatz and Macky Dancy] are innocent pawns in a years-long, multi-million-dollar dispute.”
The news of the lawsuit comes after Swizz recently took to Instagram to defend his wife’s actions after the ‘If I Aint Got You’ hitmaker turned up to MTV’s Video Music Awards with no make-up on last month.
In a video, the producer said: “Y’all gotta think about that. This is deep. Somebody’s sitting at home mad, because somebody didn’t wear make-up on their face … not your face, but they didn’t put make-up on their face, because they just didn’t feel like wearing make-up.
“But you’re mad because that person didn’t put makeup to please you? What s**t is this? Because you can do whatever you want to do. Think about it… this is deep.”

Sofia Vergara's coffee schedule

OHMYGOSSIP — Sofia Vergara won’t talk to Joe Manganiello until she’s had her morning coffee.
The ‘Modern Family’ star has revealed the ‘Magic Mike’ actor – who she wed in November 2015 – always brings her a brew in the morning, especially if he wants to discuss important things.
Speaking on Good Morning America, she said: “He learned way before we got married, if not, he would not have been able to get married to me …
“The most important thing in our life is our coffee, first thing in the morning. He knows he shouldn’t talk to me before I have coffee. Sometimes, if he has something important to tell me, he brings me the coffee, leaves the room, and five minutes later, he comes back to talk.”
Meanwhile, the 44-year-old beauty previously revealed she would like to have children with Joe, 39, but doesn’t think it will happen “naturally”.
She said: “I cannot just expect anything natural anymore.
“We’ll see what happens. It’s not something that doesn’t let us sleep. But it’s not something I am completely opposed to.”
And Sofia – who has Manolo, 24, from her marriage to Joe Gonzalez – feels blessed to have had such an understanding son who appreciated she needed to work.
She added: “I was a single mom for a long time and he always supported and helped me, made it easy to be able to work.
“I never had to worry about him. When you have a problem all the time, you are unable to be creative and think. As a single mother, I was able to do everything I wanted to do.”

Ellie Goulding: I didn't know my exhaustion was so bad

OHMYGOSSIP — Ellie Goulding didn’t realise her exhaustion was so bad.
The ‘How Long Will I Love You’ hitmaker took some time off work recently when she was given the diagnosis by the doctor but admits she didn’t realise just how bad it was at the time.
She told Stylist magazine: “I was diagnosed with exhaustion a couple of months back, but it’s only now that I realise how bad it really was.
“When I think back to my tiredness, my slump, not wanting to exercise and not being interested in anything … It wasn’t depression, it was just my body giving up.”
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old singer announced she would be taking some time off in mid July for exhaustion and for fear she would lose her voice entirely.
She shared: “I’ve had to cancel some festivals this weekend because of exhaustion. I’ve done nearly 100 shows this year and my doctor has said if I do this weekend my voice might not bounce back from it. They did a bunch of tests on me and I have been diagnosed with exhaustion.
“I’m a hard worker. I don’t cancel anything unless I really need to, but my doctor said, ‘Ellie, your voice is going to burn out’. Glastonbury was the point where I realised I was pretty exhausted. It’s all good though – I’m feeling really positive about the rest of the year.”
As well as battling with exhaustion, the blonde beauty also reportedly suffered with severe insomnia earlier this year.
A source said: “Ellie’s body clock is completely out of sync and she has found herself lying awake in bed most nights unable to get to sleep.
“All the travelling through random time zones has messed with her system. She just can’t get to sleep at night, and even when she’s back in England the insomnia is sapping her energy.
“She’s worried about it as she doesn’t want to be tired before going on stage. She’s a professional and wants to give her fans the best performances possible.”

Noel Gallagher hates coffee shops for ruining music

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher hates coffee shops for ruining music.
The 49-year-old rocker is infuriated by the fact some people prefer to spend their money on expensive warm drinks rather than buying albums.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: “Coffee has ruined the world – the pursuit of coffee and buying coffee.
“These are people who would rather spend €20 on two coffees that they will eventually f***ing piss down the toilet but would not buy an album. It f***ing bends my head.”
And that’s not the only thing that riles up the former Oasis star.
The ‘Chasing Yesterday’ hitmaker previously said he tells fans to go “f**k themselves” if they ask for a selfie.
Noel doesn’t care if people think he is an “a*****e” for refusing their requests for pictures because he is tired of being stopped while out and about.
He said: “I’m sick of fans asking for selfies, but I just tell them to go and f**k themselves. I’m not beholden to anyone with a camera phone and I don’t give a f**k if they think I’m an a*****.”
Meanwhile, the legendary guitarist insists he doesn’t owe anything to his fans because he “doesn’t ask” them to buy his records.
He added: “I turn down photographs on a daily basis. When people say can I have a picture and I just say no and they just [laugh and] go, ‘Yeah, what really?’ ‘Yeah really I’m f***ing busy here buying underwear.’
“Some people get so offended and then you get people who insist, they insist. If I feel like doing it, I’ll do it. If I don’t feel like doing it, f**k them. I don’t live my life to have my picture taken by fans whether they buy my records or not. I don’t ask them to buy them.”

Johnny McDaid gets Courteney Cox's initials tattooed on wrist

OHMYGOSSIP — Johnny McDaid has got Courteney Cox’s initials tattooed on his wrist.
The Snow Patrol rocker was left devastated last year when he and the former ‘Friends’ star ended their one-year engagement but it seems he’s determined to do all he can to prove his love to the brunette beauty since they reconciled and has now got a delicate inking in her honour.
Taking to his Instagram account on Wednesday (21.09.16) night, the 40-year-old singer uploaded a sweet photograph of his new etching on his right wrist as he placed his hand on the side of Courteney’s face.
He accompanied the shot with: “Ta-two” followed by a heart emoji.
It’s not yet known if the 52-year-old actress has returned the gesture.
The couple struck up a relationship in the late 2013 and announced their engagement via their Twitter accounts on June 26, 2014.
They spent months planning their wedding and revealed to fans that they were planning to tie the knot in Johnny’s native Northern Ireland.
However, their romance hit the rocks and began to crumble last year and the pair announced they’d called time on their relationship.
They’ve since patched up their differences and given their love another go but Courteney is still dealing with the “brutal” break up.
She said recently: “We were engaged for over a year and then we broke up. There’s something about … you know, he’s from Ireland. And the way he regards love is precious. We have to treat it in a different way. It’s more special – you coddle it. So I didn’t know how to regard love the way he does. And I definitely made a lot of mistakes that I see – whether it’s co-dependency or people-pleasing. I didn’t know how to bring it in. It was always external.
“I definitely have learned a lot, and no matter what, I will be a better person from that breakup, even though it was so brutal.”
Courteney has 12-year-old daughter Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette, whom she split from in 2010 and divorced in 2013.

Mia Farrow's son Thaddeus dead at 27

OHMYGOSSIP — Mia Farrow’s son has died aged 27.
Thaddeus passed away at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut on Wednesday (21.09.16) after a car crash but no foul play was thought to be involved.
According to gossip website TMZ, Connecticut police responded to a call at Roxbury, Connecticut, at around 12:45pm on Wednesday, and found Thaddeus “gravely injured in his car along Route 67”.
The the 71-year-old actress’ son was taken to hospital, and later pronounced dead at 2:30pm.
Thaddeus was one of 10 children adopted by the former fashion model, and was paraplegic – meaning he had loss of feeling in his legs – due to polio, a rare viral infection.
After she adopted Thaddeus, Mia spearheaded a campaign to rid the world of polio, revealing that she too had suffered from the infection as a child but was able to fight it due to living in a country with advanced healthcare.
She previously said: “I perhaps am more motivated than most people because I had polio myself and it was a real struggle to come through it, and what I saw will never leave me.
“Perhaps even more so because I have a son who is only 12 years old and who is paralysed from the waist down because of polio.
“This is a terrible disease, and he has a lot of difficulty just getting through the day. I would love to see the end of polio, where no more children have this.”
In total, the ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ actress had 14 children – Matthew and Sascha, 46, Soon-Yi, 45, Fletcher, 42, Summer, 41, Moses, 38, Dylan, 31, Ronan, 28, Frankie-Minh, 25, Isaiah, 24, and Kaeli-Sha.
Daughters Lark Song, 35, and Tam, 21, have also died, in 2008 and 2000 respectively.

Brad Pitt 'still loves' Angelina Jolie

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt reportedly told friends Angelina Jolie is “crazy” but he “still loves” her.
The 52-year-old actor attempted to save his marriage to the 41-year-old star, who filed for divorce from him on Monday (19.09.16), citing irreconcilable differences, by offering to go into therapy, and is now determined to fight claims about his parenting.
According to The Sun newspaper, the ‘Fury’ actor reportedly told friends: “She’s crazy, but I still love her.”
It has been claimed Angelina filed for divorce due to her concerns about how Brad parented the kids, as well as worrying he has an anger problem and indulges too heavily in alcohol and marijuana consumption.
Brad is now said to be “lawyering up” to fight claims about his parenting and to battle the ‘Tomb Raider’ star for custody if necessary after she put together a “hit team”.
Angelina has asked for physical custody of the pair’s six kids, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight, but has asked that Brad gets visitation rights.
The actress’ godmother Jade Dixon claims Angelina split from Brad for the “safety” of their kids.
She said: “As much as she loves Brad, she will always put the children first and their safety if there is some issue like that. If nothing else to get his attention to get help.
“Good lord, tons of people go into treatment programmes and get help. This is a wake-up call for him. Maybe it will shake him up.”
It comes as pictures have emerged of the pair appearing to have a dispute at Legoland in Windsor, south east England, last October.
A witness said the pair were “stern-faced” and “didn’t look happy”.
Brad is said to have also been disappointed that Angelina’s former political advisers told her to axe security staff who had worked with him for nearly 20 years.
The pair’s agents are said to be in talks about releasing a joint statement about their split.
Brad is said to be “devastated” about the divorce and was keen to ensure it didn’t play out in the spotlight.
An insider recently said: “He is emotionally torn. Right now, he is devastated. He still loved Angelina and would have preferred they fight to make the marriage work. He was willing to do whatever it took to save the marriage and didn’t know Angelina had already given up on it.
“He has wanted to protect the children. He didn’t want it to play out publicly.”

Angelina Jolie's relative: She hasn't got many friends

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie’s estranged relative says the star “hasn’t got many” friends.
Elke Bertrand, the estranged step-grandmother of the 41-year-old actress who was frozen out of the family by Angelina’s mother Marcheline Bertrand in 1985, insists the ‘Tomb Raider’ actress – who filed for divorce from Brad Pitt on Monday (19.09.16) – doesn’t have many people she can rely on.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Elke said: “Angelina hasn’t got many people left in her life. I know she’s got her father (Jon Voight) but I don’t know how close they are.”
Elke hasn’t spoken to Angelina’s family following an argument in the wake of the death of Angelina’s grandfather Rolland Bertrand in 1985.
Despite claiming she misses Angelina and her other three grandchildren “every day”, Elke says she has no interest in reconciling with her famous relative.
She said: “No. I’ve got lots of friends. People who keep my company when I’m feeling sick, I have plenty of visitors as well as the doctor.”
The ‘By The Sea’ actress cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her split from Brad.
Sources close to the star have since described Angelina as relieved now that the papers have been submitted, saying she feels “like a weight has been lifted”.
A source previously said: “She feels like a weight has been lifted. This has been coming for some time. This is a very difficult period for the family.
“It was such a difficult decision and it was so hard for her to make. Now that she has made it she knows it was the right thing.”
