Brad and Angelina charter train

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie chartered an entire train to transport their family from London to Glasgow, Scotland, today (16.08.11).

The couple took their brood - Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox - on the private Virgin train for the five-hour journey to the Scottish city, where the actor is set to shoot scenes for his new movie 'World War Z'.

A spokeswoman for Virgin Trains confirmed to Mail Online: "As far as I am aware, Brad and Angelina hired the whole train.

"It is a bespoke service so prices would vary on the individual, people have different needs from station requirements to catering."

The movie's creators are aiming to transform Glasgow into Philadelphia for the motion picture, with yellow taxis and white police cars, similar to those in the US city, set to be introduced, as well as signs for famous locations such as John F Kennedy Boulevard.

The 36-year-old beauty has recently been spotted out and about with the couple's children in Richmond, south west London, while the Hollywood hunk films 'World War Z' scenes on a ship in Falmouth, Cornwall.

Angelina took Shiloh and Zahara on a shopping spree to The Toy Station boutique in the town and was spotted leaving with various treats for her kids including cowboy guns, tattoo transfers, 'Ben 10' action figures and sticker packs.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sued

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are to be sued by a former employee.

The unnamed woman - who worked as a bilingual secretary at their Miraval chateau in the South of France - was dismissed by a manager at the estate while on sick leave on the grounds her absence impacted on the running of the property and is seeking 80,000 Euros in compensation for unfair dismissal.

Lawyer Emmanuel Ludot said: "It's a drop in the ocean for these stars.

"She has nothing against them personally and says she was always treated well. But they did not step in to prevent her being dismissed.

"Mr. Brad Pitt, who is also famous for his charity work and adoption of children, should understand that my client needs compensation as soon as possible, and that she's not asking for millions, just a fair amount for unfair dismissal.

"We hope they will both be faithful to their reputation for humanitarian causes."

The woman has remained anonymous due to confidentiality clauses in the contract she signed before being employed.

The lawyer said he has deliberately announced the matter now because the couple - Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, and six-year-old Zahara, as well as biological kids Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - are currently in France for the annual Cannes film festival.

A labour tribunal in Draguignan will rule on the case next month.

Brad Pitt plans private wedding

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning a small wedding.

The couple - who raise six children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, three-year-old Shiloh and 21-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne -are reportedly determined to shield their nuptials from the public and have decided to opt for a low-key affair in order to avoid accusations of wasting money.

A friend of the couple told America's OK! magazine: "Brad and Angelina are exceptionally private people, and they pride themselves on being humble and not wasting money.

"So some over-the-top, beachfront affair with hundreds of guests isn't going to happen."

It has been claimed the couple - who have been dating since meeting on the set of 2005 movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' - only decided to get married after their older children begged them to make their union official.

A source close to Brad - who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston - and Angelina said: "First it was Maddox, who has begged his parents to tie the knot for years.

"Lately, Shiloh and Zahara have been chiming in, and Pax thinks it would just be the coolest thing ever to be a ring bearer."

Angelina, 34, has previously admitted she and 46-year-old Brad are expecting the children to eventually start questioning why they had never got married.

She said: "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards.

"But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us to get married. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and his love Fiona married and you're not?' "

Brad and Angelina to marry

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly getting married.

The couple - who have been together since meeting on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' in 2005 - have finally given into the pleas of their older children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, and three-year-old Shiloh and agreed to tie the knot.

A source close to the couple - who also have 22-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne - told America's OK! magazine: "First it was Maddox, who has begged his parents to tie the knot for years. "Lately, Shiloh and Zahara have been chiming in, and Pax thinks it would just be the coolest thing ever to be a ring bearer."

Angelina Jolie to model with Beckham

Angelina Jolie is set to star in an advert with David Beckham.

The Oscar-winning beauty has signed a deal with Emporio Armani and the Italian fashion house is keen for her to team up with the handsome soccer star - who has appeared in a number of their campaigns, including some with wife Victoria.

A source said: "When you have David Beckham and Angelina Jolie signed up to your fashion house it's a no-brainer to link them up. "They appeal to a diverse audience and a collaboration would create so much publicity it would push Armani head and shoulders above their rivals.

There are a few contract issues to be addressed but marketing experts are being tasked with coming up with clever ideas for a print campaign." However, bosses are keen to make sure the adverts are not to risque as they don't want to ruin the committed family image both Angelina and David have.

The source added: "The two are exceptionally beautiful on camera but both are in committed relationships so the advert would have to be sexy without offending their partners."

Angelina raises six children with partner Brad Pitt, while David has just celebrated his tenth wedding anniversary with Victoria, who he has three sons with. David signed a deal with Armani in 2007, while Angelina was named as their new face two weeks.

Jolie, Aniston are Hollywood top-earning actresses

Angelina Jolie, best actress nominee for "Changeling," arrives at the 81st Academy Awards in Hollywood, California February 22, 2009.

Angelina Jolie is Hollywood's top earning actress, banking $27 million in the past year to beat out her partner Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, who raked in $25 million, a Forbes.com study showed on Wednesday.

Most of Jolie's income came from her share of the profits from her action film "Wanted," but she was also paid a large upfront sum for her role in "Salt," the study said. Jolie and Pitt have six children.

Aniston, who was married to Pitt before he became involved with Jolie, earned most of her millions from the romantic comedy "Marley and Me" and her upcoming film "The Baster."

"Aniston also still earns money from (reruns of TV series) Friends and she gets a nice paycheck shilling for Glaceau's SmartWater," Forbes.com said.

Meryl Streep came in at No. 3 with $24 million, most of which came from her role in "Mamma Mia," while Sarah Jessica Parker was ranked fourth with $23 million in earnings following the movie version of TV series "Sex and the City."

Cameron Diaz rounds out the top five, banking $20 million between June 2008 and June 2009.

Forbes.com said it spoke to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to work out what actresses were paid upfront for movies they are currently shooting and what pay they might have earned after a movie hit the theaters. Money earned from perfume or clothing lines was also taken into account.

"As is still typical for Hollywood, our actresses earned significantly less than their male counterparts," Forbes.com said, pointing out that the top earning male actor, Harrison Ford, made $65 million.

Jolie warns Aniston: Stay away from my partner

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has warned Jennifer Aniston to stay away from her partner Brad Pitt and has asked her to stop sending text messages to him.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Jolie is apparently not very happy with Aniston still being close to Pitt. Reports claim that Jolie sent the messages from Pitt's mobile and signed off with the initials AJ.

There are reports that Aniston has been sending gifts to Pitt at his office in Los Angeles. She is trying to stay close to her ex-husband just in case his relationship with Jolie doesn't work out.

"Jen is such a thoughtful person. She sends little gifts to his Plan B production offices in LA if she spots something he might like. And she'll send him daily motivators - quotes from self-help books she reads about staying positive. It must really lift his spirits," said a source close to them.

Angelina Jolie has presidential ambitions

Angelina Jolie wants to run for president of the US.

The 'Changeling' actress is so "stirred" by her humanitarian work for the United Nations, she is reportedly planning to get into politics.

A friend told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Angelina has admitted she's getting bored with Hollywood. She said she's now got her sights set on Washington.

"She is passionate about people's rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires President Barack Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position."

The 34-year-old star - who raises six children, Maddox, seven, Pax, five, Zahara, four, Shiloh, three, and 11-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox with partner Brad Pitt - has now set her sights on becoming the first woman in the White House.

The friend added: "I would place a huge wager on her becoming the first female president within the next 20 years. When Angelina sets her mind on something, she goes all out to do it.

"She's very determined and gets very stirred by her UN work. She is well respected for her humanitarian work and I'm sure she would make as many waves if she moved fully into the political world."

Jon Voight praises 'sexy' daughter

Jon Voight thinks Megan Fox is as "sexy" as his daughter Angelina Jolie.

The Hollywood veteran - who has been estranged from the 34-year-old star for several years - thinks recent comparisons between the 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' starlet and Angelina are fair because they are both stunning women.

He told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Everybody is unique. They're both very beautiful and they're both kind of sexy girls."

However, the 70-year-old actor believes Megan should embark on a charitable lifestyle if she wants to fully emulate his daughter's way of life.

He explained: "Maybe Megan will start doing the things that Angelina is so well known for. Angelina is obviously known for her helping with kids and concern for others. I think that would be wonderful for all of the kids if Megan were to do the same. Megan can do a lot of good, so that would be great."

Meanwhile, Megan - who claims she is currently single - has revealed she "recklessly" got a tattoo of her on/off boyfriend Brian Austin Green's name.

She said: "I have the name Brian tattooed on my body. I'm a little reckless every once in a while.

"But at the same time it's so easy to get tattoos removed now. Plus, it's such a light, small and delicate tattoo. I've looked into getting it removed just out of curiosity and it would only be $200 to remove."

Angelina Jolie: 'I Want to be like Audrey Hepburn'

Angelina Jolie wants to follow in the footsteps of Audrey Hepburn.

In a new interview with NBC’s The Today Show, Jolie — who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt – admits that she hopes to someday be able to help as many people as the Breakfast at Tiffany’s star.

“I’m lucky to be in this,” Angelina said, referring to her role as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, “And I’m sure Audrey Hepburn felt the same.”

Hepburn — who died in 1993 — spent almost 40 years championing the cause of impoverished children across the globe. In 1992, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work and, like Angelina, was also a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador.

“She was the fortunate one to be able to meet all those kids around the world,” explains the Changeling star. “You know, we’re just in a very fortunate situation that we get to be able to give a voice to these extraordinary people.”

“There’s been refugees since the dawn of time,” she adds. “And I’m sure, you know, my children will be visiting and learning from refugees in the future.”

Brad Pitt and Jolie help refugees

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated another $1 million to charity.

The Hollywood couple have pledged the staggering sum through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to help refugees fleeing the Taliban in Pakistan.

Antonio Guterres, head of the United Nations Refugee Agency, has thanked Brad and Angelina for their generosity.

He said: "The situation in Pakistan is the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."

Earlier this week, Angelina - who has visited Pakistan three times in recent years - recorded a message highlighting the plight of displaced people living in war torn regions.

The 34-year-old actress - who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission on Refugees - says in the video: "Please don't turn away. Refugees are the most vulnerable people on Earth. Every day, they are fighting to survive. They deserve our respect. Please do not forget them. Remember them on this day. World Refugee Day."

World Refugee Day will be held on Saturday (20.06.09), but Angelina is to mark the day along with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington today (18.06.09).

The donation comes just days after they gave $1 million to St. John's Hospital in Brad's hometown of Springfield, Missouri.

The money will be used to establish an endowment fund to pay for children's cancer specialists and will also go towards building a new paediatric unit.

Brad Pitt, family give $1M to Missouri hospital

Brad Pitt and his siblings have given $1 million to help a Missouri hospital open a new pediatric cancer center that will be named for their mother.

Pitt and his siblings' families, Doug and Lisa Pitt and Rob and Julie Neal, gave the money to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Mo., on Saturday in honor of their mother's passion for children's issues.

The hospital is opening the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center this summer in the town where Pitt and his siblings grew up. The donation will pay to hire the only pediatric oncologist and hematologist in the southwest Missouri region.

The new center will make St. John's one of six affiliates of St. Jude's Children's Research in Memphis, Tenn., meaning the center will be able to participate St. Jude's clinic research trials.
