Reason behind Brad Pitt wants to settle divorce battle with Angelina Jolie

Reason behind Brad Pitt wants to settle divorce battle with Angelina Jolie. A source told MailOnline today, "They are looking to get married in the next year and Brad has settled because he wants to keep his children on side for his new marriage to go ahead".  

"Apparently Ines is keen to have children too and pressured him to get it all sorted out as soon as possible".

Brad and girlfriend Ines have been dating for almost two years and they are staying together.

Another source said, "Brad will be relieved that he can finally move on and marry again. He has wanted his divorce settled long before now but he believes Angelina has been dragging her feet".

"Angelina will argue she has been fighting for the best deal for their family, but whatever the truth, it ultimately clears the path for him walking down the aisle with Ines".

"He will hope that he can build bridges with his children now that the divorce is finalised, but that looks like a long hard road". 

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reach divorce settlement

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reach divorce settlement. They have signed off their divorce on Monday, December 30.

Jolie's lawyer James Simon tells PEOPLE in a statement, "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family".

"This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."

One source said, "She doesn’t speak ill of [Pitt] publicly or privately. She’s been trying hard to be light after a dark time".

"The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues".

"The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification."

Anne Hathaway bought leather pants after "Princess Diaries" because she was big fan of Angelina Jolie

Anne Hathaway bought leather pants after she got the role for "Princess Diaries" because she was big fan of Angelina Jolie.

She recalled, "When I got ‘The Princess Diaries’ I bought myself a pair of leather pants from Diesel. I remember getting taken by the costume designer to the 3rd Street Promenade. I scouted this pair of leather pants for the longest time, because I was the world's biggest Angelina Jolie fan, and she always wore leather pants. And when I got the Princess Diaries I was like, this is my first movie, I’m getting leather pants".

That time Anne was 18 years old and she acted along with Julie Andrews.

Angelina Jolie would like to do something funny for her next project

Angelina Jolie would like to do something funny for her next project. She shared,  "I just wrote to a friend of mine today, Eunice, who's in Liverpool, and she said, 'Why aren't you doing — you should do something funny.' I wrote back and I said, 'I'd like to find something funny,' but I'm not sure."

"I'm never sure how funny I am. I would love to do something fun and light. I think I'd have to be the straight man. I feel like that's what I am. I get that. In Maleficent, it was like, Okay, I'll be the straight person".

"There are so many wonderful directors I'd love to have a chance to work with. I'd like to just be allowed to play in this arena. I'd love for people to reach out and be willing to invite me to play with them and create with them. So we'll see. Yeah, comedy, maybe."

Angelina Jolie didn't know she has to sing in "Maria"

Angelina Jolie didn't know she has to sing in "Maria". She told Best magazine, "I made the mistake in the beginning of thinking, when he asked me to sing a little, ‘I like movie singing.' I could sing a bit I guess. I very quickly realised that you can't fake sing opera. Not that I wanted to fake sing anything, but I didn't really think I was going to be asked to actually sing".

"Somehow, it didn't cross my mind. I don't know why. I didn't completely understand until I was standing in this room and Pablo (Larrain, director) had met so many different teachers and he found one to begin."

Angelina started crying as soon as she had to sing during that first lesson.

Then she added, "The first time, he said, 'OK. Plant your feet'".

"He took me seriously as a singer, which was very moving to be already".

"He said, 'Take a deep breath and then start to make sounds' – I started crying.

"Because I think we all hold so much in that we don’t really let out".

"We don’t let our full voice out."
