Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Custody Agreement Ends as Youngest Children Turn 18

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Custody Agreement Ends as Youngest Children Turn 18

Published by Sam Flores

Angelina Jolie and Knox in 2024. Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images Vivienne and Angelina Jolie in 2024, Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images The twins’ coming of age also marks a turning point in their parents’ long separation: the issue of custody is now definitively behind them. That means Jolie, who told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that she was required to remain in Los Angeles as a stipulation of the parental agreement, is finally free to move about the globe. “I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave,” she said then. But when her nest empties, “I’ll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I’ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.” That doesn’t mean the battle between Pitt and Jolie is over. The estranged pair remains at odds over Château Miraval, the French estate and winery they purchased during their time together (and where, incidentally, they were married in 2014), which continues to be the main front …

The 2026 Emmy nominations were announced Wednesday, recognizing several of the year’s most acclaimed series across acting, writing, directing and series categories. Awards show darling The Pitt brought in the most nominations with a whopping 25, while newcomer Widow’s Bay also landed an impressive number. But some snubs were impossible to ignore. Besides Zendaya’s nomination for best actress in a drama series, the final season of Sam Levinson’s HBO hit Euphoria did not receive any major nominations. Heated Rivalry was also left out of the nominations, but that came as no surprise due to the fact that shows must have been produced in part by a U.S. studio to be eligible (the steamy hockey drama was fully financed in Canada.)

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton had a Fight Club reunion at the World Cup This Week

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton had a Fight Club reunion at the World Cup This Week

Published by Sam Flores

It’s not the first time we’ve seen Tyler Durden and Tyler Durden out in public, as the pair have invoked fond memories of their shared Fight Club role at events over the years. The movie’s impact is indelible, as ongoing social media jokes about this pairing proves. It’s easy to forget that Fight Club was initially a rather notorious flop, with a budget of $63 million and a $37M gross at the US box office. Executives at 20th Century Fox were at their wits’ end, unable to understand how they had failed so spectacularly after managing to reunite the director and lead actor of Seven, and adding, in Norton, one of the best actors of his generation. Some blamed the marketing campaign and trailers, which presented the film as an action movie packed with street fights. That attracted an audience that didn’t mesh with the transgressive, dark, satirical, and anti-capitalist tone with which Fincher—drawing on Chuck Palahniuk’s original novel—had imbued his feature film. Ed Norton, Brad Pitt, center, and Colin Farrell, sitting, watch the United …

How ‘The Pitt’ is helping revive L.A.’s battered TV business

Published by Sam Flores

Hollywood is in the midst of a 911 emergency. The industry has been pounded by years of job losses, business closings and the flight of production to cheaper locales, leaving once bustling soundstages around Los Angeles half empty. But one high-profile TV hospital drama is offering hope for a cure. HBO Max’s “The Pitt,” which resumed production this month for its third season, has swelled into a massive hit. It’s been embraced by fans, critics and medical professionals for its realistic portrayal of the high-stress life inside an urban trauma center. The Emmy Award-winning drama has also become an urgently needed Hollywood success story at a time when much of the local film and TV industry has left California for other states and countries. Though Pittsburgh is the show’s fictional setting, “The Pitt” is filmed almost entirely on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank. The show has provided jobs for an estimated 1,000 people, including hundreds of background performers. Nearly 200 local businesses, including caterers and special effects houses, have been lifted by the enterprise. …
