She tells, "Never lived feeling like I’m going to have a long life. It’s very sobering to realize like the [doctor] says in the film, we’re all going to die; we’re all not here forever. I think having lost my mom young and never met my grandmother, I have never lived feeling like I’m going to have a long life."

Then he added, "This s–t ain’t easy. And you’re talking to a guy who won the lottery."

James Haven, Angelina Jolie's brother, has revealed the truth he has been hiding for years

James Haven, Angelina Jolie's brother, has revealed the truth he has been hiding for years. Months after his split from former wife Romi Imbelli according to TMZ. He has come out as gay.

During a live appearance on Romi's Substack, the former couple discussed the evolution of their relationship and James' decision to reveal the truth.

On the live stream, James shared a letter reflecting on his journey with his s*xuality.. 

The letter says ... "When I was a little boy, I was absolutely obsessed with the Disney princesses. I would sneak glitter onto my cheeks, swipe mascara onto my lashes, and for those moments, I felt like magic."

"It was never about pretending to be someone else. It was about letting a part of myself shine that had always been there."

James shared that as he grew older, "I started wondering if that sparkle was something I had to hide to be accepted by the 'normal' boys around me. Like so many gay kids, I learned to question parts of myself long before I learned to celebrate them."

He shared that he was no longer willing to hide and was ready to live openly as his true self.

James said, "Not because he's changed, but because he's tired of hiding. Coming out isn't about becoming someone new, it's about allowing everyone else to meet the person who has been here all along."

His letter continued, "I hope my family and others can choose love over fear, understanding over judgment, and connection over the beliefs that may have kept us apart. I hope they can look beyond the labels and simply see me with the same heart, the same laugh, the same soul they've always known."

"That little boy with glitter on his face and mascara on his lashes was never confused, broken, or something to be ashamed of. He was simply gay. He was joyful. He was brave before he even knew it."

Angelina Jolie has praised acclaimed photographer Giles Duley after he received the 2025 Tipperary International Peace Award.

The award acknowledged his long-standing commitment to revealing the human cost of war and assisting conflict-affected communities in their recovery, with a particular focus on Ukraine.

Giles Duley is a photographer who lost both legs and his left arm in 2011 after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan. Despite his severe injuries, he returned to his profession after a lengthy rehabilitation and has spent more than a decade documenting the impact of armed conflicts in countries around the world.

Giles recently exhibited The Things They Carried at the Atelier — a series that begins with Objets d’Mort, in which he draws on his early training as a fashion photographer to portray bombs, landmines, and grenades as glossy, seductive still-life images. The works span decades of conflict, from the first air-dropped bomb used during World War I to cluster munitions deployed in Vietnam and grenades adapted for drone warfare in Ukraine today.

Angelina Jolie and Robert De Niro among famous stars whose personal details surfaced online

A cybersecurity expert has described the leak as the biggest he has ever seen.

Jeremiah Fowler said the breach originated from New York’s annual Tribeca Film Festival, which was co-founded by De Niro.

The leak is believed to have been caused by human error after three databases connected to the festival were exposed.

The leaked data reportedly contained personal information such as phone numbers and private email addresses.

Mr Fowler told the publication: "It’s really unique because these ­individuals are so guarded and they protect their personal privacy, their contacts, their phone numbers".

After identifying the breach, the security expert notified the festival, and the database was subsequently taken down from public access.

He later received a message from a legal executive confirming that the issue was actively being investigated.

He said, "They responded pretty quickly, so it was obvious they knew what it was and that it shouldn’t have been there".

A source exclusively told Page Six, “This is what complete and total parental alienation looks like — it’s awful, deliberate and unnecessary, only serving the interest of the parent feeling some perverse pleasure at excluding another caring parent from her children’s lives.”

“If Brad isn’t close to the kids, it’s because of the harm that was done. The children are now adults and make their own decisions, which deserve respect. If they choose to distance themselves from him, it comes from that pain and harm.”

She said, "I never go out really alone, and was not sure anybody wanted to talk to me, and probably would have, I would have been so happy had they said hello".
