A move across the water could be on the cards for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, with the news the couple have started house hunting in London. 

The pair already have homes in France and California, but having just sold their sprawling $6.5m New Orleans mansion, they are ready to add to their property portfolio once again.

Brad and Ange reportedly checked out a $39m residence in London's Westminster, close to Buckingham Palace recently, but felt it was simply too much money to spend on a new home.

"It’s a huge investment. Neither of them wants to throw down that amount of cash," a source told Us Weekly.

However with Angelina apparently keen to "slowly immerse herself in EU politics," London could be the perfect family base, with Heathrow airport nearby and easy access to other EU cities.

The actress spoke last year of her desire to spend less time in front of (or behind) the camera and more time focusing on world politics and humanitarian efforts. As a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she made over 40 field visits to war and poverty stricken areas around the world, and in 2012 was named a Special Envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres.

"I've always gone wherever I felt I was needed," she told ITV News last year.

"When I started working with the UN, I felt I loved working in the field and I felt I was useful… and then there was a point where I realised that I was only so useful in the field because someone had to go to Washington and plea the case. So then I would do that," she continued. "I don't know what that means or where that will lead me."

We don't know either, but we're hoping London…

We tend to assume that celebrities have always been rich and famous (they were born that way, right?).

But no, a few stars weren't always as glamorous as they are today. In fact, most of Hollywood's elite worked normal jobs, just like the rest of us, at some stage. 

Here, SHEmazing! rounds up our favourite 'before they were famous' gigs (and just wait until you see where Madonna worked…):

 

Brad Pitt

Brad worked in a fast food restaurant before he hit the big time. But it gets worse, he had to dance around in a chicken suit daily. Ouch.

 

Kim Kardashian

Before she shot to fame with Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim used to clear out celebrities wardrobes and sell all of the unwanted clothes on eBay for her clients. She even worked as Paris Hilton's personal assistant for a while. 

 

Johnny Depp

Mr. Depp sold pens by phone as a living before he pursued his dreams of becoming an actor. 

 

Rod Stewart

Before he became a music legend, Rod Stewart worked as a grave digger. We're sure that was kind of scary!

 

Madonna

Queen Madge used to work at Dunkin' Donuts in New York's Time Square back in the day. She reportedly got fired for squirting jam all over a customer!

 

Gerard Butler

Before he became a movie hunk, Gerard had his heart set on becoming a lawyer. We think we prefer him acting though!

 

Sandra Bullock

Before winning Oscars and floating around in on-screen space, Sandra worked as a waitress and bartender in New York in the 1980s.

 

Jon Bon Jovi

The rocker used to help his cousin in a school where he was a janitor. While he worked he recorded his music which eventually led to his stardom. 

 

Rachel McAdams

Rachel used to work in McDonalds before she became a hot shot actress. The beauty stuck three whole years working there before she quit. 

 

Harrison Ford

Before he became Mr Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford worked as a carpenter in LA. 

 

Jennifer Aniston

The Friends beauty used to work as a telemarketer during the day and a waitress at night to pay for acting classes. And we're so glad she did. 

 

Hugh Grant

Hugh studied art history before he shot to fame. He abandoned his doctorate degree so he could pursue his dreams of acting. Bold move, Hugh, bold move.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are back in business, people.

It's been a whole decade since the famous couple have graced our movie screens together but we won't have to wait much longer as they have just released the first trailer for their new movie, titled By The Sea. 

Ange and Brad's newest project is a far cry from the 2005 action-packed comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In By The Sea, Angelina plays Vanessa, a broken woman in the midst of a dysfunctional relationship with her husband Roland, played by her real-life spouse Brad.

In an effort to deal with problems in their marriage, the troubled couple resort to drugs and violence. 

Angelina revealed that she and Brad actually filmed some scenes while they were on their honeymoon last year… not exactly the most romantic way to celebrate being newlyweds.

In an interview with Stylist Magazine Jolie admitted there was a weird vibe on set at time. "We kept joking that all of the crew felt like they were living in a house where the parents were fighting and you don't know where to stand or look," she said. Kind of strange, no?

The stunning actress wrote and directed the flick, set in a seaside town in France back in the 1970s. 

If the trailer is anything to go by we are going to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this one. Watch it now:

We knew there was someone missing from the crowds at Guy Ritchie’s wedding this week.

While her husband Brad Pitt partied the night away with some famous pals, including David Beckham, Sting and Claudia Schiffer, Angelina Jolie had other matters to attend to.

 

…that night at Guy's I hung out with these Guys… #jaxguyjuly #InspiriTour #lucacalvani @robertogirombelli

The Oscar-winning actress was in Burma on a four-day trip with Aung San Suu Kyi.

She joined the country’s opposition leader and democracy campaigner to visit workers in the country who are forced to be employed in horrific conditions.

Angelina met factory workers, most of whom are women, at an industrial zone on the outskirts of Burma’s largest city. The pair witnessed first-hand how the women work and live and also toured inside the factory.

Earlier this week Angelina, who is a special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, travelled to Kachin state. This has become home to tens of thousands of displaced people since the ceasefire between Burma’s government and rebel fighters broke down in 2011.

This is her first visit to the country which has only recently been released from military rule.

While Angelina was busy in South-East Asia, husband Brad enjoyed a night with friends at the star-studded bash to celebrate Guy and Jacqui’s wedding.

Earlier this week a source had told The Mirror: “The guest list is jaw-dropping. It’s like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year.”

It certainly looked it! We nearly lost track of all the celebs spotted at the festival-themed nuptials.

Parents to three young children, they've been together for six years – not to mention engaged since 2012.

And today – finally! – 33-year-old model Jacqui Ainsley married film director Guy Ritchie, 46, in a lavish ceremony attended by the crème de la crème of showbiz. 

Social media snaps show that the bride looked stunning in an A-line lace dress and floral headband.

There to witness their Big Day are the likes of Brad Pitt and ­Angelina Jolie as well as George and Amal Clooney, who themselves married less than a year ago.

Sting and wife Trudie Styler arrived this afternoon, as did Jemima Khan, Gwyneth Paltrow and David Beckham – all three of whom appear to be attendance without a plus-one. 

Producer Matthew Vaughn, who worked with Guy on Snatch and Lock, Stock, and his wife Claudia Schiffer also witnessed the happy couple tie the knot earlier today.

Celebrations are currently kicking off, with chef Jamie Oliver doing the food with the reception – which is being held at Ashcombe House, the couple's sprawling country estate in Wiltshire in south west England.

The wedding seems to have a music festival feel to it, with teepees and tents set up around the grounds. 

A source told The Mirror earlier this week: “The guest list is jaw-dropping. It’s like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year.

“There are marquees being set up in the gardens and food by Jamie’s chefs. It’s going to be amazing.

“Guy is well connected and liked, so it’s no surprise there are so many people invited to his wedding.”

Guy's eight-year marriage to Madonna famously ended in 2008. He and Jacqui have three children – Rafael, three, Rivka, two, and Levi, one, while Guy also has two sons, Rocco and David, from his first marriage.

Okay, this is absolutely crazy!

Matt LeBlanc’s father has reported that his son, who played Joey on Friends, was having an affair with Jennifer Aniston while she was married to Brad Pitt.

While Matt’s father, Paul LeBlanc, is estranged from his son, he recently spoke to US Star magazine and claimed that the pair had numerous encounters between 2000 and 2005.

“He even had a relationship with one of the girls… Jen. They would make out in the dressing rooms.

“He told me about it – it was when she was married to Brad Pitt.”

While rumours have been circulating for a few days about the alleged affair, reps for Jen have now come out and said that the actress vehemently denies the allegations. She has said that the rumours are a total fabrication.

The 46-year-old said that she has never had any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with her former co-star.

Jen was married to Brad from 2000 to 2005, while Matt was married to Melissa McKnight from 1997 to 2006.

The world's most famous family raised a few eyebrows yesterday when they stopped for lunch somewhere highly out of character.

With two world-famous actors (including one UNICEF ambassador) as their parents, you'd be forgiven for thinking Knox, Vivienne and co. lived on a freshly prepared vegan diet at all times. but it seems that's not always the case.

Brad, Angelina, 13-year-old Maddox and 9-year-old Shiloh stopped at a Subway shop in Glendale, California yesterday and by the sounds of it they ordered like pros. According to a member of staff, the foursome left with two meatball marinara footlongs, a six-inch chicken teriyaki and some children's meals. The bill came to $44 (€40) – hardly an A-list price tab – and Brad even left a tip of $6 (€5.50).

The Jolie-Pitts unexpected visit soon caught the attention of the media, with their pitstop even making a few news bulletins in the US later that day.

It seems the Hollywood couple had been visiting a Toys R Us store in the area with their brood before heading ice-skating for twins Knox and Vivienne's seventh birthdays. "They rented a bus and headed for an afternoon of ice-skating at Iceland Ice Skating Center," an onlooker told Us Weekly. "Knox and Viv were bundled up with snow hats and mittens. They were really excited about it."

This is not the first incident of late in which Brangelina have ensured their children live a somewhat normal life. Last month the stars and their six kids flew in economy class while travelling from Paris to Nice, waiting at Charles de Gaulle airport for two hours along with other passengers and putting their luggage in the overhead lockers themselves. 

First flying like us normal folks, then eating like us… what's next?

Following weeks of speculation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced yesterday that they were splitting up after ten years of marriage.

Considered to be one of Hollywood’s strongest couples, Ben and Jen are only the latest in a long list of celebrity relationships that have caused us some serious devastation.

We still sometimes can’t believe Brad and Jen just didn’t make it. What even is love?

Every time a celebrity couple goes through a break up, we all cry with them. However, clearly some are just more devastating than others.

In particular, these break ups are still a little hard for us to talk about. No, time hasn’t healed all wounds unfortunately…

 

Britney and Justin

The double denim duo broke our hearts in the 00s. He was her first kiss, ever. 

 

Brad and Jen

Everything is fine, until that Friends episode comes on and we have emotional flashbacks to the devastation that occurred ten years ago.

 

Orlando and Miranda

Maybe all hope is not lost, seeing as Orlando has said to the press “we’re not friends. We’re family.” We’re not crying either.

 

Reese and Ryan

They met at her 21st birthday party (nwwaaa!) in 1997, got married and had two children before splitting up in 2006. We’re still haven’t found two blondes pretty enough to replace them in our hearts.

 

Ashton and Demi

It doesn’t matter that he and Mila just had a baby, we’re still not convinced he and Demi really called it quits. Why would they do that to us? Why?

 

Rachel and Ryan

Everything about The Notebook makes us cry, then we pulled ourselves together knowing they were happy in real life. Remember the MTV Movie Awards? Yeah, us too. Then, in 2008 they broke our hearts and we’re still not over it to be honest.

 

Selena and Justin

Shattering our hearts not just once, but twice. The Baby singer just can’t seem to get over her either with rumours circulating his new single, Where Are U Now, is full of messages about his former love. It’s like standing outside someone’s window with a boom box, if you’re a 21-year old millionaire.

If reports are to be believed, there’s going to be some pretty spectacular double dates on the horizon for two world famous couples.

Rumours from inside the walls of Kensington Palace are saying that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie shared a tea party with none other than Prince William, 33, and Kate Middleton, 33. Can you imagine? The style must have been unbelievable.

Angelina has been in London recently in order to attend a lunch at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. It is believed that she was joined by husband, fellow actor Brad Pitt for afternoon tea with the Duke and Duchess earlier in the week.

The celebrity couple did not have their rather large brood of six children with them, but apparently they did bring a present for Princess Charlotte who was born in May of this year.

According to Us Weekly, “everyone got on splendidly”. Indeed, a source is claiming that Brad, 51, and Angie spent much longer with the royal duo than expected.

“They ended up staying for almost a few hours,” according to the source, who also said that Kate and William were “really excited” at their chance to chat with the Hollywood couple.

While this would be the first time the foursome have meet one another, it’s not the first time Angeline has been rubbing shoulders with royalty.

In 2014, Queen Elizabeth II made Angelina, 40, an Honorary Dame Commander at Buckingham Palace. That hasn’t stopped the tabloids from spreading rumours about the actress. Only recently press in the U.S were claiming the pair were heading for divorce.

A source told Hollywood Life however that this was not true and the pair had no intentions of filing for divorce.

The very private couple were crowned ‘The People’s Power Couple’ by Vanity Fair not too long ago following their journey from Paris to Nice with their children.

The couple chose to fly in economy class. Just like normal people. Lovely.

We all love going to the cinema every now and then. But, sometimes, we just want to throw our hair up, put our slippers on and watch the latest film with a bowl of popcorn from the comfort of the couch.

Netflix is great for these nights in but the problem is you are never able to see the latest release or the box office hit that you are dying to watch.

Well, have we got good news for you! The one and only Brad Pitt has teamed up with Netflix and given them total distribution rights to his upcoming film, War Machine.

As well as heading the production of the film with his company Plan B, the Moneyball actor is starring as the US general in control of American forces in Afghanistan.

It is a satirical comedy that is based on the book The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan. The book was written by Michael Hastings, a Rolling Stone contributing editor and a reporter for Buzzfeed who tragically died at the age of 33 after a high-speed car crash in 2013. 

Hastings toured Afghanistan with General Stanley McChrystal and after documenting the General badmouthing the White House and their handling of the war, McChrystal was recalled to Washington by President Obama, and it ultimately ended in his resignation. Brad Pitt is to play Gen. McChrystal.

The ever-so-handsome 51-year-old’s involvement is a huge coup for Netflix, as this is their first distribution deal with a movie of this calibre. This is going to gain the company some serious credibility in the film production world, to go along with the reputation they already have for TV series, such as House of Cards. Filming is set to begin in August. 

If you’re worried that Brad may be taking a step towards TV movies, don’t fear. That chiselled jaw will still be gracing the big screen with loads of upcoming projects, including a new film where Brad and Angelina will star beside each other. By the Sea is a romantic drama directed by the beautiful Angelina.

We couldn't be more excited to see them playing husband and wife on screen again!

Angelina Jolie hits a milestone today as the gorgeous Hollywood actress, director and producer turns 40.

It is reported that hubby Brad Pitt wants to spoil her rotten for the day as he and the brood plan some special events. 

A source told British magazine Closer, that Brad "has planned a string of surprises for Ange's big birthday on the fourth of June, including a trip to a private island, which he's hired out just for them." The actor has reportedly even bought an antique emerald ring, which he's engraved with the date they first met.

Angelina has kept us consistently fascinated throughout her career, going from wild child and two-time divorcée to being one of Hollywood's biggest leading ladies, all the while staying focused on her six children, her marriage and her role as a UN goodwill ambassador. 

All of this in mind, we think it's fair to say Angelina is our favourite Hollywood leading lady.

At first when it seemed she broke up what was the fairytale marriage of Brad and Jennifer Aniston, we were definitely all wearing the Team Aniston t-shirts. But Angelina has changed our minds and now we couldn't live without our fix of Brangelina on the red carpet. 

In honour of her 40th birthday, we have taken a look at ten of her most notable quotes:

1. This brilliant one liner about her unorthodox childhood
"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire."

 

2. Her frank honesty about her rebellious years
"I didn't die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn't survive certain things… people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst… for many reasons, I shouldn't be here."

 

3. On what she looks for in a partner
"I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess."

 

4. Her view on how her life has changed for the better
"I’m still a bad girl. I still have that side of me…it’s just in its place now…it belongs to Brad. Or…our adventures."

 

5. On how she and Brad met
"Not a lot of people get to see a movie [Mr & Mrs Smith] where their parents fell in love. What’s going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool. Because right now, we’re not cool Mom and Dad."

 

6. Her beautiful tribute to Brad
"Sometimes I think my husband is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me. I don't know whether I'm good enough. But if I make him happy, then I'm everything I want to be."

 

7. On having so many kids
"The great thing about having a bunch of kids is they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop! That's who you are!"

 

8. Her openness about why she is leaving the world of acting behind
"I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn't. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.

 

9. The reason she chooses to do so much humanitarian work
"I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world."

 

10. Her advice for other young women
"Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.

Happy Birthday Angelina!

She was the baby that confirmed her parents were so much more than just another Hollywood fling – and today (can you believe it) Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt turns nine. 

Happy birthday, Shiloh!

The gorgeous child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was born in Swakopmund in the southeastern African country of Namibia on May 27, 2006. 

And although her mum and dad met and fell in love on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith (when he was infamously still married to Jennifer Ainston) they didn't confirm their union until four months before Shiloh's birth – by which stage Angie was sporting a noticeable baby bump. 

At the time, the actress was already a parent to Maddox, now 13, and Zahara, ten. 

With Brad, she also went on to adopt Pax, 11, and give birth to twins Knox, a son, and Vivienne, a daughter, who are now six. 

Shiloh is know for her love of dressing like a boy. She shuns girly dresses and anything pink or pastel, and also asks to be called 'John'. 

"I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making," Ms Jolie has said of her daughter's appearance. 

"And I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting."

At the time of her birth, her pictures were sold to a glossy magazine for an eye-watering €7m – a record-breaking figure which her parents used to support several charities close to their hearts.

After seven years and six children together, Brad and Angelina announced their engagement in April 2012.

Last August, along with her five siblings, Shiloh witnessed her parents marry in an intimate ceremony held at their private estate, Château Miraval, in southeastern France.
