After the news broke on Thursday that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt married in France last weekend, the Oscar winner is using the spotlight to make a statement on a far more important topic -- the ongoing violence in the middle east, specifically Syria.

"Three million refugees is not just another statistic," Jolie said in a statement. "It is a searing indictment of our collective failure to end the war in Syria. International stability is steadily bleeding away in Syria. UN Security Council Resolutions are being ignored; war crimes are being committed on a daily basis; regional countries are staggering under the human burden; and Syrian refugees are dying in the Mediterranean sea, trying to reach Europe."

"We need to see a new attempt to resolve the conflict and greater efforts to support more than 13 million Syrians who are in desperate need," Jolie concluded. "The reputation and credibility of the international system is at stake with so many thousands of lives threatened in Syria."

Jolie has been an ambassador with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for 13 years, and she last visited with Syrian refugees in a Lebanese camp in February 2014. In June the 39-year-old actress co-chaired the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict in June, and over the years she's met with Syrian refugees in Turkey, Iraq and Lebanon as part of her role as special envoy for the UNHCR.

She's all business!

A pregnant Kourtney Kardashian didn't bother beautifying herself for work as she showed up super casual to handle some last minute duties at a recording studio in Los Angeles yesterday.

The 35-year-old reality star, who's soon to be a mother of three, was most likely taking care of her Keeping Up With The Kardashians obligations during the day while the rest of her family went about their business.

There hasn't been any new developments with the drama between her and longtime boyfriend Scott Disick since she checked into the Montage hotel in Beverly Hills over a week ago.

Their relationship has always had its ups and downs but with another bundle of joy on the way, we hope all is well within their household!

MTV

Sounds like a lot is going on in their household!

In a stunning turn of events, Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles has come out to claim that the elevator incident with Solange, along with the divorce rumors surrounding his daughter and Jay-Z, are all a Jedi mind trick. Huh?

"I know, from experience, because we've done this, there's a tour going on," Bey's dad said in an interview with The Roula and Ryan Show on 104.1 in Houston on Thursday. "So you have to sometimes ignite that tour -- it's called a Jedi mind trick! The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot of time."

When it came to Solange and the infamous elevator fight, he simply repeated, "All I know is the Jedi mind trick," in regards to whether or not they knew they were being recorded. "Everybody's talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200 percent."

Things appeared pretty serene when Bey, Jay and baby Blue were at the 2014 MTV VMA Awards earlier this week. As for Queen Bey, she hasn't had time to indulge in her father's claims but rather spend her time focused on her little girl.

The 32-year-old entertainer opted for a poem entitled Bey The Light as opposed to an interview to go with her spread for Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book, expressing the fondness she has for her daughter.

“It’s my daughter, she’s my biggest muse,” she wrote. “There’s someone we all find out soon, more important than ourselves to lose." She also added a bit about how she wants people to perceive her talents.

"You call me a singer, but I’m called to transform, to suck up the grief, anxiety, and loss of those who hear me into my song’s form.”

Sounds like Blue has given her career an additional spark she never knew she had!

They look ready to take on the town!

On Thursday, Kendall and Kylie Jenner donned their darkest attire while out and about in New York City and get this... they were without the rest of the fam!

The two young Kardashian clan members were in town to celebrate their joint DuJour magazine cover at Lavo in Midtown Manhattan, the latest accomplishment for the budding models.

Kendall has been on fire lately, having scored her first Teen Vogue cover after gigs with Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, and Balmain. The statuesque 18-year-old went in-depth on her strides in the fashion industry and what her family association means for it all.

"What a lot of people don’t know is that being in the industry I'm in with my family doesn't benefit me at all," she told DuJour. "It actually makes it harder for me to break in because I had to work a little bit harder for people to take me seriously and show them that I really want it."

Seems like her hard work is paying off. As for the dropping of her last name for more modeling gigs, looks like that's a tactic to make a name for herself!

We called it!

After we had previously reported , Britney Spears and David Lucado have called it quits and the pop star confirmed recent events with a simple tweet!

"Ahhhh the single life!" the 32-year-old singer posted to her Twitter account earlier today to further cement all speculation.

The two have been together since around March of last year, shortly after calling off her engagement to Jason Trawick. "I'm in love," Spears told Entertainment Tonight around that time. "I like the fact that he's very stubborn and he's stuck in his ways. He's just a simple man. I adore him."

There have been rumors of Lucado cheating on Brit which helped make her decision easier, although nothing has been brought to light besides the fact that she's enjoying being free with her family!

This never ceases to amaze us!

Kim Kardashian hit the gym on Wednesday, and rather than hitting the shower immediately after her workout, the reality TV star ran some errands in Calabasas, showcasing her giant booty in a pair of black spandex. She looked fantastic, but we still can't believe how she's built. I mean, this almost makes Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" album cover look like amateur hour...

While Kim has been busy shooting interviews for Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons and going to events for her line of sunless tanning creams, she has yet to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, despite nominations from a number of celebs. We're waiting, Kimmy!

Miley Cyrus is taking it all off for Karl Lagerfeld!

The twerktastic singer dared to bare everything for a V magazine's Rebel issue. Shot by Chanel's head honcho, the 21-year-old is featured on the cover of the mag wearing a plush turquoise swimsuit, amid a sea of stuffed animals. But of course the combo of Miley and Karl couldn't just stop there -- the "Wrecking Ball" singer also got totally naked for the spread. We'd expect nothing less!

Fresh off her headline-making VMA stunt in which she brought a homeless man as her date, the "We Can't Stop" singer was obviously proud of her goods and Instagramed a promo pic of the upcoming issue with the caption, "shot by Karl Lagerfeld for @vmagazine #rebelissue."

We can't blame her -- she does look damn fine!

The glossy mag doesn't hit newsstands for Sept. 10. Sorry boys and girls, still gotta wait to get your hands on Miley!

Not to mention his hair from late 2011!

On Wednesday afternoon Kaley Cuoco gassed up her shiny black Range Rover in Studio City, and from her cropped locks to the baggy boyfriend jeans, she wasn't exactly going for the flirty femme look. But you know what? Setting aside the questionable choice in denim and the scowl in her face, she seems like one of the more down-to-earth celebs out there.

Sure, she now makes a whopping $1 MILLION per episode for her role on The Big Bang Theory, but earlier this year she admitted to reading gossip blogs AND getting a boob job, so she's kinda just like every other girl in L.A. Er, right? Either way, we'd totally be nice to to the 28-year-old actress if we ever ran into her at Coffee Bean. That is, if she didn't dump her latte on us first...
