'Jennifer Aniston threw Brad Pitt out after he confessed his love for Angelina Jolie': New book lifts lid on split of the century

By Daily Mail Reporter





So happy: Brad and Jennifer at the Cannes premiere of Troy in May 2004, a year later they were heading to divorce





Jennifer Aniston ordered Brad Pitt to leave their Beverly Hills home after he admitted that he was in love with Angelina Jolie, according to a sensational new book.



Arnon Milchan, who produced Mr and Mrs Smith, makes the revelation in a book about his life as a producer and businessman tied to the arms trade, which is entitled Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon.



He recalls how he originally cast Pitt and Nicole Kidman as the married spy couple in his film but that Brad pulled out of the project due to a lack of chemistry between himself and the flame-haired Australian.





Milchan also insists that Pitt was already infatuated with Jolie as immediately after he cast Angelina as the female lead, Brad called him to say he was happy to play Mr to her Mrs.



The rest, as they say, is history, and the writing was on the wall for the Friends sweetheart, who married Pitt in Malibu in 2000.



She filed for divorce in March 2005, apparently after seeing pictures of Brad, Angelina and Maddox on a beach in Kenya.



But it was a tumultuous few months of rumours and denials before she reached that point.



He recounts: 'At first, Jen didn't believe he was involved with Angelina. She started asking around but no one would tell her anything because they were loyal to Brad, so she asked him point blank. He denied it.'

Chemistry: The promo for Mr and Mrs Smith, the film that brought the couple together





Brad and Jennifer then went to the Caribbean with best friends Courteney Cox and David Arquette on a pre-planned trip to celebrate New Years, 2005, but the strain was too much and Brad confessed.



'He eventually admitted he was in love with Angelina. Jen was furious and threw him out,' authors Meir Doran and Joseph Gelman write.



Brad only returned to the lavish home the couple designed together to collect some belongings before moving into Milchan's L.A. home.



'Brad drove each day to the set, and everywhere else, on a motorcycle and he wore a wraparound helmet with a tinted visor so no one would recognize him. He stayed with me for the duration of filming,' Milchan is quoted as saying.



On January 7, 2005, the pair announced their split, but when Brad joined Jennifer for her birthday in February, the rumour mill went into overdrive with talk about their reconciliation.



The trip to Africa put paid to that and Brangelina was born that Summer.



Six children were to follow, and the couple remain together while Jennifer has found love at last with actor Justin Theroux.

A Wicked day out! Brad and Angelina take spellbound brood out to see West End musical Wicked for Maddox's 10th birthday

By Daily Mail Reporter


Celebration: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took Maddox (left) to see the stage musical Wicked in London today for his 10th birthday with Shiloh, Zahara and Pax also coming along for the afternoon out


It's been a wet and dull summer's day in London - so what better way to entertain your bored children in the holidays than an afternoon out at the theatre?

That was Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's plan, as they took their brood out in London today to see the West End smash hit musical Wicked.

The family had clearly fallen under the production's spell too, and were seen beaming broadly as they left Victoria's Apollo Theatre to get a car back to their base in Richmond.

Fun day out: The family had been to Victoria's Apollo Theatre for the matinee performance


Daughter Shiloh, five, in particular seemed smitten by the show, and left clutching a cute winged monkey, a stuffed toy version of one of the show's fantastical characters.

She and Maddox were joined by sister Zahara, six, and Pax, seven with three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne deemed a bit too young for the afternoon's entertainment.

Angelina, 36, looked rather dressed up considering it was the middle of the afternoon, and was stunning in a classic LBD and nude heels

Brad, 47, however was far more casual in a dark indigo shirt, denim jeans and black boots.

He had taken some time out from filming his latest movie World War Z in London to join his family for the matinee performance.

Angelina certainly wants to make sure her children are seeing all the sights London has to offer, and last week, took them to the city's Aquarium while Brad was busy.

Hands on: Brad and Angelina were beaming as they herded their happy brood to a waiting car

Daddy duty: Brad is currently in the UK filming World War Z but took time out of his filming schedule to go out with his family


The cast members were said to be delighted to have the famous family come to see their Wizard of Oz themed show.

'There was definitely a big excitement backstage! Everyone was on a high,' a Wicked cast member told Us Weekly.

The family did not sit in a VIP box but sat in the orchestra area and were surrounded by a few empty, reserved seats to maintain their privacy.

Hollywood in town: Waiting fans could not wait to catch a glimpse of the A-List stars


'They were very happy and quite quiet,' the cast member said of the Jolie-Pitts. 'The children seemed fascinated by the spectacle.'

The family are currently living in Richmond, west London, renting a lavish £10million home while Brad finishes filming .

Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is living just around the corner, while George Clooney has only just moved out of the neighbourhood.

Daddy's little girl: Brad helped Zahara into the car by giving her a lift up as Angelina got in


Its location has turned the historic home into a mecca for stars of silver screen, who flock to rent it for an estimated £30,000 a month.

Among the big names who have quietly rented the fashion tycoon widow’s home are Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp, 48, who lived there while filming in London.

Veteran actor Michael Douglas, 66, and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, 41 have also stayed at the house. Celebrity tenants appreciate the luxurious interior in an unassuming location just ten minutes from the film studios.

Day trippers: The Jolie-Pitt family enjoyed their afternoon at the theatre at the Apollo in Victoria


Angelina has already been seen popping into a toy shop in Richmond to buy her children presents, including water pistols and pretend money.

Brad is in the capital filming his new zombie movie, World War Z. He is also producing the film, an adaption of Max Brooks’s novel.

Tears of Sarajevo: Angelina Jolie wells up as she is honoured at Bosnian Film Festival

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Tears: Angelina welled up on stage at the 17th annual Sarajevo Film Festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina last night as she was honoured with an award for her film In The Land Of Blood And Honey

Angelina was nearly moved to tears last night as she was honoured at an award ceremony in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The actress who turned up to the 17th Sarajevo Film Festival unannounced with her partner Brad Pitt, at the city's National Theatre, couldn't contain her emotion as she was presented with a heart-shaped award at the closing ceremony.

Clearly humbled, the 36-year-old welled up as she took to the stage as the crowd gave her a standing ovation.

'I will start crying if you don't stop,' she said in a quivering voice.

'I told Brad in the car I was afraid I was going to cry.'

'I am so honoured to be here at this festival. There is no greater example of the strengths of the artists and the festival that began during the war and grew stronger every year, ' she added.

Angelina was honoured for her directorial début, In The Land Of Blood And Honey.


All smiles: Earlier in the evening, Angelina was all smiles as she walked the red-carpet with Brad Pitt


She filmed the drama, which tells the tale of 'how a couple's romance is affected by the 1992-95 Bosnian War,' in the Eastern European country last year.

'Tonight we are giving the honorary Heart of Sarajevo to a great artist, not only for the great impact she has in the world of cinema but also for persisting and her active engagement in the complexities of the real world we live in,' said Festival Director Mirsad Purivatra as he presented Angelina with the award.

The actress slipped into a floor-length peach gown slit to the thigh, for the occasion.


What are you looking at? Brad couldn't help but stare at his beautiful partner's stunning assets


On the arm of her handsome partner Brad Pitt, she flashed hints of her long toned legs.

She also flashed what appeared to be a new tattoo on her left arm..

The inking seemed to be quite large taking up most of forearm.

Angelina went natural with her make-up, and wore her long brunette hair out in a natural straight style.

Meanwhile, Brad looked dapper in a slimline black suit and open-neck white shirt.



Still looking: Brad just couldn't take his eyes off the stunning actress who was flanked by two security guards


Angelina also played presenter on the night, presenting Austrian actor Thomas Schubert with the award for the Best Actor for his film Atmen.

In the past, her involvements in Bosnia have not stopped short of her film.
The philanthropist has also visited the war torn country as a ambassador for the U.N.'s refugee agency UNHCR.

The festival was a hop, skip, and an aeroplane ride from London, where Brad and Angelina have laid their roots temporarily while the actor films post-apocalyptic horror film World War Z.

Mother-of-six Angelina has been having a ball sight-seeing and shopping with the couple's six children.

This week the Salt actress took two of her children, Shiloh, five, and Zahara, six, to The Toy Station store in Richmond, where they loaded up on a number of items, including toy currency.

A Toy Station worker told the Mail Online that Ange and her daughters arrived at the store with their bodyguard and happily browsed with other customers.

'Once the other customers had left her bodyguard politely asked if we could close the doors while they shopped,' the worker revealed.


New ink: Angelina flashed what appeared to be a new tattoo on her arm as she waved to her fans alongside Brad


They added: 'The girls were very well behaved and Miss Jolie was very attentive to the children. She was very nice, calm and down to earth. A very natural family.'

The worker said that Angelina bought a number of items from the store but didn't spend too much money. 'She mainly bought pocket money toys.'

The actress bought a number of cap guns and joke items such as water-squirting cameras as well as the fake money.


Applause: Brad and Ange sat in the front row at the ceremony and enthusiastically clapped other recipients


Also on the shopping list was a £25 Strawberry Fairy costume for Zahara, who is known for her love of girly clothes, while sister Shiloh is a bit of a tomboy.

As with everywhere the family ventures, a crowd soon gathered when they realised who was inside the store.

The actress' bodyguard and a community support officer helped hold the fans and photographers at bay as the smiling trio, Angelina looking chic in a beige top and skirt and matching wedges, left the store.

What else can we do? Angelina Jolie keeps her children busy with a trip to the London Aquarium

By Sarah Bull


Day out: Angelina Jolie kept her brood busy in London today with a trip out to the London Aquarium


With their father Brad Pitt busy working on his new movie World War Z, it is up to Angelina Jolie to keep her children busy while they are in London

And the actress has done a great job so far, taking her brood to the cinema to see the latest Harry Potter movie, and allowing little Vivienne to accompany her to pick out some flowers over the weekend.

So today Angelina decided to continue her brood's trip of the capital with a visit to the London Aquarium.

Yawns: Little three-year-old Knox looked a little tired as the family made their way into the aquarium


Dressed casually in a grey jumper and black skinny jeans, Angelina clutched the hands of her twins Knox and Vivienne, while Zahara and Shiloh making up the end.

And the family certainly looked stylish as they made their way into the aquarium.

While three-year-old Knox appeared to have taken style tips from his dad Brad in a pair of taupe chinos and a black T-shirt, his twin sister Vivienne opted for a colourful ensemble of a printed jumper over a checked dress and leggings.

Leading the way: Shiloh and Zahara opted for trousers as they spent time with their siblings

Adorable: Twins Vivienne and Knox are the spitting image of their big sister Shiloh with their blonde hair and blue eyes


Zahara, six, opted for a black vest top and jeans with black biker boots, while five-year-old Shiloh, who is famous for her tomboy style, donned a pair of tan trousers and a dinosaur-print T-shirt.

The only members of the family missing from the day trip were Angelina's sons, Maddox, nine and Pax, seven.

Aquariums are something of a favourite attraction for Angelina and her family, as she was also spotted taking Shiloh, Zahara and Pax to one during a trip to Paris last December.

Keeping busy: Angelina had taken her family to the cinema last week to keep their entertained

Not very glamorous: The children were treated to a private screening of the latest Harry Potter movie


Last week, Angelina treated ehr brood to a private screening of the new Harry Potter film at a cinema in Richmond.

The film, which is rated PG-13, is said to contain some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images.

Yet care-free parent Angelina still took the whole family to watch the action-packed film.

As the family left the theatre after watching the movie a small crowd gathered and local police came to their assistance at they piled into a waiting mini-van.

Just the two of us: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt leave their brood at home as they head out for a romantic lunch in London

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Just the two of us: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted enjoying a romantic lunch together without the company of their children at London's Dorchester Hotel

They are in the UK with their six children while Brad Pitt works on his new movie World War Z.

But, after spending some time with their ever-expanding brood, Brad and partner Angelina Jolie decided to leave the kids at their rented London home so they could enjoy a romantic lunch together at London's Dorchester Hotel.

While Brad looked smart in a pair of beige trousers and white shirt, Angelina went for a classic look in her white long-sleeved T-shirt, taupe pencil skirt and beige Lanvin patent espadrille wedges.


Quick entrance: The pair made a dash into the famous hotel where they enjoyed a meal together


Despite the fact the pair have both been spotted out and about in London separately over the past few weeks, it's the first time they have been seen together since late June.

And while Brad works hard on his new movie, adapted from the novel by Max Brooks, Angelina has certainly been enjoying keeping herself and her brood busy.

This morning, Angelina braved the unseasonably cool morning to take her three-year-old daughter Vivienne to Streets Florist in Richmond.

The 36-year-old sneaked into the shop all in black and hid under her oversized aviator sunglasses as she carried her Louis Vuitton bag and held onto Vivienne’s hand.


Low profile: Earlier in the day, Angelina was spotted trying to go incognito in a florist shop in Richmond in an all black ensemble and oversized sunglasses


But despite trying to blend in and subtly pick out some flowers, the florist shop owner and fellow onlookers were shocked at the famous customer.

Shop owner Mark Nunez told MailOnline: ‘She bought calillies, roses and thistles and altogether bought two bunches of flowers, a gift bag and some gift cards.

'Everyone in the shop was pretty shocked when she walked in but she didn’t say anything about who the flowers were for.’


Shocked onlookers: Local residents in Richmond weren't expecting Hollywood star Angelina Jolie to stroll into the florist


Angelina held one bunch and Vivienne held the other as they soon left Streets and headed back to their car.

The Tourist star is currently in the capital with her brood including Vivienne’s twin brother Knox, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and Shiloh, five.

The day before, she had taken her children to a cinema in Richmond for a private screening of the new Harry Potter film.

She was again wearing a signature black ensemble and shades, alongside her classic Louis Vuitton bag.


Gift pack: Angelina didn't say who the flowers were for but she bought two bunches and a pack of gift cards from the shop

Yet care-free parent Angelina still took the whole family to watch the action-packed film.

As the family left the theatre after watching the movie a small crowd gathered and local police came to their assistance at they piled into a waiting mini-van.

Pax, nine, couldn't help but show his cheeky side, sticking his tongue out at the onlookers while wrestling with his older brother Maddox as they climbed into the car.

Angelina and the children flew into London from Los Angeles airport on Thursday and had previously also flown to Malta while Brad was filming scenes there.

Shady little guy: Knox Jolie-Pitt copies his famous mother by wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses in Richmond, London yesterday


It seems Shiloh has a rival in the bid to be Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's coolest little kid.

Little Knox, who turns three in two weeks, made a fashion statement of his own in a pair of dark sunglasses while on an outing with his famous mother and twin sister Vivienne in London today.

It comes just days after Shiloh, five, styled out a pair of flashy green shutter shades at Los Angeles airport.

Jolie and her twins were leaving a cinema in Richmond after the entire brood - including Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, and Shiloh - enjoyed a private screening of the new Harry Pottter film.

Style stealer: The day before, Knox's older sister Shiloh also rocked a pair of funky glasses

The Tourist star wore a chic, all black pants ensemble and black boots while carrying a large Louis Vuitton tote bag.

The ads are set to run for 18 months and will feature other celebrity humanitarians like Bono and his wife Ali Hewson, the founder of fashion line EDUN.

The family are in the British capital while dad Brad Pitt films scenes for his new movie World War Z.

Little Shiloh puts her mother Angelina Jolie in the shade with her cool sunglasses

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shady ladies: Angelina Jolie, Shiloh and Zahara were spotted at Los Angeles airport yesterday

As one of Hollywood's brightest stars, it is hard to outshine Angelina Jolie.

But her daughter Shiloh managed to do just that at Los Angeles airport yesterday.

The five-year-old looked like a little superstar in the making as she styled out a pair of shutter shades - made famous by Kayne West - while walking through the airport with the actress.

Her sister Zahara, six, had a pair of bright white glasses of her own, but opted to carry them in her hand.



Star in the making? Shiloh looked rather chuffed with her green shutter shades


It is clear that Angelina and partner Brad Pitt encourage their daughters to discover their own personal styles.

The couple's first natural-born daughter wore her standard boyish garb of a grey tracksuit while Zahara looked adorable in a floaty white top and jeans.

Shiloh clutched a Pokémon toy and her favourite blue security blanket and Zahara had two dolls in tow.

The trio - as well as bodyguards and a flannel shirt clad nanny - were flying out of Los Angeles after just a brief stay in the city.

They have spent much of the past few months in Malta while Brad films his latest movie, World War Z.


Carry on: Zahara opted not to wear her white sunglasses


In keeping up with her daughters, the 36-year-old actress wore a classic pair of aviator sunglasses.

The Tourist star also wore a chic, all black pants ensemble and nude pumps while carrying a large Louis Vuitton tote bag.

Food for thought... Angelina Jolie's boys Maddox and Pax eat crickets 'like Doritos'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Exotic diet: Angelina Jolie has introduced her boys Maddox and Pax to crickets - but they're so addicted to them she's had to limit their intake

She is as well known for her eccentric behaviour as she is for her fill career.
And now actress Angelina Jolie has revealed her children have developed some bizarre habits - including eating crickets.

Miss Jolie - whose partner is Hollwood heart-throb Brad Pitt, 47 - says her adopted sons Maddox and Pax have a penchant for snacking on crickets which she admits she encouraged.

The 36-year-old introduced the youngsters to the south-east Asian delicacy while they were away in Cambodia.


Delicacy: Fried crickets are commonplace in south eastern Asia


And, though she initially had to encourage her sons to eat the insects, they were soon eating so many that Angelina had to limit their intake.

In a video shot for Louis Vuitton's Core Values campaign in Cambodia, she said: 'My boys love to eat crickets. It's their favourite thing.

'When I first gave it to them... I wanted them not to be turned off by something that was of their culture. They ate them like Dorito's, and they wouldn't stop.


Not for the girls?: Zahara and Shiloh dont' seem to have been included in the cricket feast


'They brought to-go boxes home and I had to actually ban the cricket eating at a certain point because I was afraid they were going to get sick from too many. But they're good - they are like a potato chip.'

In Vietnam and Cambodia, where Pax, seven, and Maddox, nine, are from respectively, it is common to eat fried crickets on sticks from a street vendor.
