Just months after Angelina Jolie revealed the sad news that she had her ovaries removed, it looks like Brangelina are set to adopt their seventh child.

The pair want to adopt an orphan from Syria, most likely a little girl, and are hoping to do so by the end of the summer. 

Angelina has visited Syrian refugee camps numerous times as special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for refugees, so she has witnessed the sadness that goes on in the war-torn country.

A source told The Express that Angelina has been “moved to tears on several occasions over the plight of youngsters orphaned in the Syrian conflict.”

The couple already have six children, Cambodian-born Maddox, 13, Vietnamese Pax, 11,  Ethiopian Zahara, 10, six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne and eight-year-old Shiloh.

Brad Pitt recently revealed that Angelina could not have anymore biological children because she had undergone a double mastectomy. 

The gorgeous actress had both her ovaries removed to prevent the chances of getting cancer.

Her own mother died of cancer in 2007.

Now that Angelina health is back on track, the pair are apparently ready for another child.  

We wish them all the best.

As if we needed any further proof that Angelina Jolie is one of the most inspirational women in Hollywood, she went and outdid herself at the Kids' Choice Awards last night.

Picking up the gong for Favourite Villian in Maleficent, the mum-of-six, who attended the annual award show with daughters Shiloh and Zahara, only went and gave us all goosebumps with her speech.

Encouraging young people to bask in their uniqueness and stand tall when dubbed 'different', the star delivered a speech which would move even the most hard-hearted.

Sharing some words of wisdom with a clearly overjoyed audience, the Maleficent star said: "Don’t fit in. Don’t sit still. Don’t ever try to be less than what you are. And whenever someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up high and be proud."

And in case that was all a little too sugary for your taste, the star, in true Angie style, finished with this little nugget of advice: "And as your villain, I would say: Cause a little trouble, it's good for you."

If you're suffering from the fear right now, then it's probably best to give yourself an hour or two before taking a peek.

So many feels, y'see.

Kelly Osbourne has revealed she may also elect to get preventative surgery at some stage, as she has a high risk factor for cancer like Angelina Jolie.

Speaking during a segment on The Talk yesterday about Angelina's decision to have invasive surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes to reduce her risk of ovarian cancer, Kelly said she had also been tested for the "cancer gene" and knows she will eventually have to take preventative measures.

Kelly's mum Sharon had a double mastectomy in 2012 after discovering she had a harmful mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene which placed her at greatly increased risk of breast cancer. At she time she insisted her daughters also get tested, which is when Kelly found out she too was at high risk.

"I actually do have the cancer gene,” the 30-year-old said on the show. “My mom made all of us get tested after she found out that she had it and got her double mastectomy.”

Kelly said she agreed "100 per cent" with Angelina's decision to undergo preventative surgery, first with a double mastectomy in 2013 and now with a second surgery. 

"I know that one day I will eventually have to do it too because if I have children, I want to be there to bring them up. I want to be there to support them in every way I can," Kelly explained. 

"It’s something I applaud Angelina for because she’s bringing attention to this,” she added. "People are now going to go out and get tested for it.” 

We're delighted to see this sensitive issue being discussed so openly.

Two years ago, actress Angelina Jolie revealed she had undergone a double masectomy as a preventative measure against breast cancer, for which she had an extremely high risk factor.

Now the actress, who has three adopted children and three biological children with her husband Brad Pitt, has opened up about the second invasive surgery she recently had to remove her fallopian tubes and ovaries.

The decision came when Angelina's doctor told her that her annual cancer screen showed "inflammatory markers" which could be a sign of early ovarian cancer, she explained in a New York Times opinion piece. The actress' own mother died of ovarian cancer after being diagnosed aged 49. 

"I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt. I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn’t live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren," Angelina said.

"I called my husband in France, who was on a plane within hours. The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters. It is polarising, and it is peaceful."

Although a second round of test results five days later showed that the 39-year-old actress was still cancer-free, she decided to undergo the surgery anyway to fully remove the risk.

"To my relief, I still had the option of removing my ovaries and fallopian tubes and I chose to do it," she said, making sure to let women know that there are other options too. "I feel deeply for women for whom this moment comes very early in life, before they have had their children," she admitted. 

"Their situation is far harder than mine. I inquired and found out that there are options for women to remove their fallopian tubes but keep their ovaries, and so retain the ability to bear children and not go into menopause. I hope they can be aware of that."

Whatever the outcome, Angelina says she is content in her decision. "I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect some physical changes. But I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life. It is nothing to be feared."

What a brave move to speak out about such a difficult choice – well done Angelina.

The Brangelina family is about to grow a little bit bigger!

Angelina Jolie and husband Brad Pitt have reportedly adopted a two-year-old boy from Syria, bringing their family total up to seven.

The A-list couple already have three adopted little ones – Maddox (12), Pax (11) and Zahara (9), plus three biological children, Shiloh (8) and twins Vivienne and Knox (5).

Brad and Ange made the decision to rescue the young boy from the Altinozu refugee camp in Turkey, after Angelina travelled there earlier this year as part of her work with the United Nations, for whom she works as an ambassador for refugees.

The actress was reportedly moved to tears upon meeting the little one, named Moussa.

"Angelina heard about him from a translator and she was obviously upset, but Moussa was just beaming from ear to ear and when he saw she was wiping tears from her eyes he toddled up to her and gave her a hug and it was a very emotional moment and everyone was suddenly laughing and smiling," a charity worker told Woman's Day magazine. 

"She kissed him on the top of his head and then they were basically inseparable for the rest of the visit."

After several checks to confirm that Moussa was indeed an orphan, Angelina was reportedly able to begin the process of adopting him.

No official announcement has been made by the couple as yet, but if the news is indeed true we are delighted for them and little Moussa.

While some media outlets seem intent on pushing the idea of the Jennifer Aniston/ Angelina Jolie “feud”, the former Friends star’s latest comments should well and truly put an end to the rumours.

After opening up on her divorce from Brad Pitt in an interview from earlier this month, in which she spoke of their amicable relationship, the Cake actress has now come out in praise of Pitt’s wife Angelina.

Speaking in an interview on Entertainment Tonight last night, Jennifer said that she feels like people may finally be ready to put the feud rumours to bed.

“I think that’s slowly coming to an end, I really do,” said the 45-year-old.

She also went on to praise Jolie for her work in Unbroken, branding any speculation about their rivalry as “petty”.

“Unbroken is so beautiful and wonderful, and she did such a gorgeous job, and I think it’s time people stop with that petty bulls***and start celebrating great work and stop with the petty kind of silliness,” she said.

In a quote that wouldn’t be too far off of something Rachel Green would come out with, Jennifer added: “It’s just tiresome. It’s like an old leather shoe. No, let’s but a new pair of shiny shoes.”

We agree, Jennifer – bring on the era of the shiny new shoes!

Jennifer Aniston has done a rare interview in which she spoke about the break-up of her marriage to Brad Pitt…and no one was expecting it. The actress, who is currently engaged to Justin Theroux, spoke openly and honestly to CBS Sunday Morning about her split from the Hollywood heartthrob back in 2005.

Brad is now married to Angelina Jolie, having dated since 2005 and the couple have six children.

However, rather than say that their divorce was a painful event in her life, it would appear that Jennifer is well and truly over Brad, saying: “I don’t find it painful. I think it’s a narrative that follows you because it’s an interesting headline. It’s more of a media-driven topic.

The former Friends actress was then asked if she and her ex-husband still talk, and it would seem that things are very amicable indeed: “We’ve exchanged good wishes and all that sort of stuff to each other, but it’s not a constant thing.”

Jennifer appeared on the show to chat about her upcoming movie, Cake, which could see her win some serious acting awards. It's even been rumoured she could be up for an Oscar! Now that we would love!

If you thought that writing soundtracks for a movie was all fun and games, Chris Martin has a big wake-up call for you.

When asked how Coldplay’s track Miracles for Angelina Jolie’s new movie Unbroken came about, lead singer Chris Martin sensationally claimed that the Hollywood star kidnapped him and forced him to pen the song.

Before you call upon the police to swoop on Brangelina’s home, however, Chris was just joking around!

Showing a rare glimpse into his more fun side during an interview with Vulture, the Magic singer said: “I got a message that said, ‘Meet me in this undisclosed location. You’ll be blindfolded and picked up by seven ex-Navy SEALS.”

He added, jokingly: “So they kidnapped me, hit me over the head, and sprayed me with Mace. When I woke up, I was in an office, and Brad Pitt was doing push-ups as Angelina Jolie was just sitting there with her crown on.”

Given how much media coverage his separation from Gwyneth Paltrow and relationship with Jennifer Lawrence received, we’ll allow Chris some fun time with the media!

Sloppy is not a word we’d use to describe Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie, but she certainly seems to think she is, telling the Hollywood Reporter that there were times in her career when she’s gotten “bored and sloppy.”

The acclaimed actress has recently tried her hand at directing and her efforts have been met with worldwide praise, but it seems her decision to direct was because the day job just wasn’t doing it for her anymore!

Opening up about how acting makes her feel, the Changeling star said: “I don’t want to be in hair and makeup, I don’t want to be in wardrobe, I don’t want to have to stand on a mark or emote. It makes me feel like a caged tiger.” We’re so surprised to hear this from one of the industry’s most revered actresses!

Speculating on the future, the mum-of-six said: “I never had a plan for my life. If suddenly tomorrow I couldn’t do anything, I could deal with that. I’d be happy at home being a mom.”

The Unbroken director says she’s always listened to her gut, so if leaving the movie industry suited her we’re sure she’d have no problem doing so!

By now you will have heard about Sony’s cringe-worthy emails leak, in which co-chairperson Amy Pascal swapped insults about Angelina Jolie with producer Scott Rudin.

After learning how Angelina was described as a “spoiled brat with a rampaging ego”, we all told ourselves that we would give anything to be a fly on the wall at the next meeting between the Maleficent star and the authors of the insults.

Well, we didn’t have to wait too long, because the moment was captured on camera, and in very public fashion.

We can’t even imagine how much Amy Pascal was squirming when she bumped into Angelina at the Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast this week, particularly after copping a look at the actress’ expression.

It’s fair to say that Angelina has a face like thunder!

Pascal and Rudin’s comments were made in relation to a conflict over the filming of the Cleopatra and Steve Jobs films. According to the emails leaked and printed on Gawker, Jolie was unhappy that director David Fincher pulled out of the Cleopatra movie, in which she was supposed to star.

Saying that he didn’t want to waste time over the issue, Rudin wrote to Pascal: “I’m not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie.”

Ouch! Now, could someone send us a transcript to go with the above picture?

We reckon Sony officials will rethink before they write any emails after this incident! Following a computer hack that occurred at the company last week, emails from top heads at Sony have been leaked – and they’re not pretty!

The emails between Sony Pictures co-chairperson, Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin, printed on Gawker, show the hassle that occurred between the planned Steve Jobs and Cleopatra movies.

David Fincher, director of this year’s Gone Girl, pulled out of the planned Cleopatra production back in 2013, much to the annoyance of Angelina Jolie, who was supposed to be the lead role.

According to the emails, Angelina was not happy about David heading over to work on the Steve Jobs biopic, and the messages between Amy and Scott show just how tense things had got.

Amy wrote to the producer: “She [Angelina assumedly] is upset about us giving David Jobs. She wants to talk” to which Scott fires back: “She’ll survive it. I don’t want to waste my time on this … I’ve told you exactly how I want do this material. It’s the ONLY way I want to do this material. I’m not remotely interested in presiding over a $180m ego bath we both know will be the career-defining debacle for us both. I’m not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie. I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and we don’t.”

Yikes – something tells us Angelina’s days with Sony Pictures may have come to an end after those harsh words!

The emails also claim that Adam Driver was a "terrible idea" for the new Star Wars movie and also branded Michael Fassbender a fantastic actor but "not yet a star".

Angelina Jolie is receiving some harsh criticism from Japanese nationalist conservatives who have accused her new movie, Unbroken, as being racist.

In a dramatic move, they have demanded that the actress be banned from the country, reportedly launching a petition on Change.org that has gained 8,000 signatures so far.

The move depicts the life of Louis Zamperini, an US Olympian who was spent 47 days at sea before being captured and tortured by the Japanese navy.

However, campaigners have called the movie immoral, with a member of the Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact telling The Telegraph: “If there is no verification of the things he said, then anyone can make such claims. This movie has no credibility and is immoral.”
