She's back in the groove.
Angelina Jolie went out of her way to sign autographs for fans after a Q&A about her new movie First They Killed My Father at the Academy Of Motion Arts on Sunday, and the actress was super gracious and appreciative of all the compliments she was getting. Shutterbugs told her she was on her way to getting another Oscar, and one even asked her to run for President!
It's been an incredibly rough year for Angie, following her split from Brad Pitt. She's been battling various health issues and trying to adjust to single life while raising her six kids, so it's nice to see her happy and getting back to work. To top off her comeback, Cambodia just selected her Netflix project as their submission for the Best Foreign Language film at the upcoming Academy Awards.
"This means a great deal to all of us involved in making the film. To work with local artists to bring this story forward has been a moving and humbling experience," Jolie said in a statement after news broke.
We think the A-list beauty gets a bad rap for being an ice queen. She couldn't have been nicer to us!

He looks like he's had a rough couple of days.
Josh Duhamel has taken off his wedding ring just days after announcing his split from Fergie, and he seems pretty down in the dumps. While the songstress is down in Brazil performing for the Rock in Rio festival, the actor is on daddy duty. He took son Axl to a party at a local park in Brentwood on Sunday, and the two sat to have their picture drawn. Their first of many outings without mommy sadly!
There have been all types of rumors flying around as to what caused the end of their marriage, but the general consensus comes down to the fact they were just two very different people. Among the more scandalous reports? The TV star was getting a little too close to Buddy Games co-star Olivia Munn, who is single after her own split with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

She has to be a little mortified.
Kourtney Kardashian spent some quality time over the weekend with daughter Penelope, as news broke that baby daddy Scott Disick is dating 19-year-old Sofia Richie, and the reality star seems to be doing her best to take the romance in stride.
The Lord and Nicole Richie's little sis initially denied they were a thing earlier this summer, but there's no hiding it now. The odd couple went public with their relationship during NYFW, and now they're parading their love on their home turf.
"Since returning to L.A., Scott and Sofia are inseparable. They are spending every day together. Sofia seems smitten," a source dished to People.
“It’s obvious that she looks up to Scott. She constantly giggles around him. They are very flirty. Scott takes care of her, opens the car door and pays for everything,†the source added.
LD and Sofia's pairing is weird for a couple reasons. For starters, she used to be close with Kendall and Kylie. She also used to do the deed with Justin Bieber, who famously romped with Kourt as well. As if that wasn't enough, she's "pals" with Kourtney's current boy toy Younes Bendjima.
Kourtney must just want Sofia to go the F away! Watch how Scott reacted when we asked him about Sofia before word got out...

Too bad, we caught ya!
Kendall Jenner had a hot dinner date with Blake Griffin at Craig's over the weekend, and the supermodel tried to hide herself and her man after slipping out the back at the end of their meal. If she didn't want attention, why would she go to the biggest hotspot in Hollywood?!
Kenny and the NBA star have been quietly seeing each other for the past month, but she's been more forthcoming with this romance than she ever was with A$AP Rocky. The Clippers player joined her in NYC for fashion week, and now that they're back on the West Coast, they're picking up right where they left off.
It sounds like Kimmy K's younger sis has no plans to get serious with the athlete, though.
"Kendall and Blake are definitely dating and hooking up. They are having a good time together. It’s a little early to call them boyfriend and girlfriend. Kendall won’t settle down soon – she is busy and likes her freedom," a source dished to Us Weekly.
The Vogue cover girl never wants to commit to anyone... could there be something else going on?
Lady Gaga announced she's postponing the European leg of her Joanne world tour as she battles debilitating physical pain and illness.
"I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles. It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out. As I get stronger and when I feel ready, I will tell my story in more depth, and plan to take this on strongly so I can not only raise awareness, but expand research for others who suffer as I do, so I can help make a difference," she wrote on Instagram.
"I use the word ‘suffer’ not for pity, or attention, and have been disappointed to see people online suggest that I’m being dramatic, making this up, or playing the victim to get out of touring. If you knew me, you would know this couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a fighter. I use the word suffer not only because trauma and chronic pain have changed my life, but because they are keeping me from living a normal life," she continued.
"They are also keeping me from what I love the most in the world: performing for my fans. I am looking forward to touring again soon, but I have to be with my doctors right now so I can be strong and perform for you all for the next 60 years or more. I love you so much,†she concluded.
She also shared a press release from Live Nation announcing her break. She was scheduled to kick off her concerts on Sept. 21 in Barcelona, Spain and conclude on Oct. 28 in Koln, Germany.
"Lady Gaga is suffering from severe physical pain that has impacted her ability to perform. She remains under the care of expert medical professionals who recommended the postponement earlier today. Lady Gaga is devastated that she has to wait to perform for her European fans. She plans to spend the next seven weeks proactively working with her doctors to heal from this and past traumas that still affect her daily life, and result in severe physical pain in her body. She wants to give her fans the best version of the show she built for them when the tour resumes," the statement read.
It sounds like she's really going through it! We wish her a speedy recovery!

He's looking a little stressed!
Kanye West brought son Saint along as he hit the studio in Calabasas yesterday, but Kim and Nori were nowhere to be seen. Although they recently celebrated their anniversary together, the couple have basically been living separate lives, and it has many wondering if they're really ready for baby #3 when their surrogate gives birth this January.
"Their marriage is still shaky as hell, so the notion they’re ready for another baby— maybe even more than one — is so irresponsible and downright crazy. Kim has meltdowns every day taking care of their kids, who aren’t the types of kids who’ll accept being dumped with a nanny," a source dished to Radar.
"The big problem is that she and Kanye don’t communicate about parenting, it just happens organically and that means Kim gets dumped with most of the day-to-day responsibility. He’s still vulnerable and stressed-out with work, so she carries the burden,†the source added.
Besides their relationship troubles, Yeezy is also worried about those secret recordings at the center of his $10 million lawsuit with his Saint Pablo insurers, which allegedly document his drug use and downward spiral.
Nicole Kidman had everyone doing a double take last night, when she planted a smooch on Big Little Lies co-star Alexander Skarsgard as he took the stage to accept the Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie award. Making things even weirder? The fact her husband Keith Urban was literally sitting right there! We wonder if she ran this move by him before she did it? Doubtful!
The Internet immediately began churning out memes and losing their collective cool, but the Aussie starlet seemed oblivious to the controversy it may cause.
This wasn't Nic's only noteworthy moment of the evening, though! She also made headlines for failing to acknowledge her two kids with ex Tom Cruise during her acceptance speech for Outstanding Lead Actress, only mentioning biological children Faith and Sunday. She also took the opportunity to shed light on the topic of domestic violence as she discussed her role in the hit Netflix series.
"Sometimes when you’re acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message. We shone a light on domestic abuse. It is a complicated, insidious disease, and it exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy, and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more. So thank you, thank you, thank you," she told the crowd.

At tonight's 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, women stole the show!
It was ladies' night as Veep took the top prize for comedy, The Handmaid's Tale won Outstanding Drama Series and in a record-breaking SEVEN other categories for Hulu and Big Little Lies won Best Limited Series and its stars Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern took home awards for their acting.
In contrast to Hulu's surprise sweep of the awards this year, Netflix -- nominated with a whopping 91 noms, still hasn't won an acting prize or a series award. The biggest disappointment for Flix was that its hit Stranger Things, nominated in seven different categories, won nothing.
Meanwhile Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus picked up her sixth acting Emmy for the show, which is in its sixth and second-to-last year. And that makes her the reigning Emmys queen with the most-ever wins in all categories, having racked up nine trophies.
Host Stephen Colbert did an okay job and generally speaking, the Emmys were more interesting this year than the usual snoozefest it tends to be. Still, if you recorded the show but prefer to cut to the chase ... click through to see the full list of winners!
