It's the split that shocked the world ...

A few hours after new broke that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from her partner of 12 years, her divorce petition has gone public.

So here are some deets …
    -The documents were filed on September 19.

    -The date of their separation was September 15.

    -The couple was married for two years and one month.

    -Angelina did not file for separation she filed for divorce.

    -The reason listed was "irreconcilable differences"

    -In regards to their six children, Angelina has requested joint legal custody, sole physical custody and requesting visitations for Brad.

    -Angelina is not requesting spousal support or child support.

Jolie's manager, Geyer Kosinski, released a statement: "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest to protect her children ... She appreciates everyone's understanding of their need for privacy at this time."

On the flip side, Brad has come out and said, "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well being of our kids."

Some outlets are reporting that Angelina's jealousy over Brad's Allied co-star, Marion Cottilard, had something to do with the split, while some reports insist it's Brad's strict parenting style and his penchant for weed and alcohol that destroyed his relationship with the Oscar winner.

UPDATE: Brad is asking for joint physical custody of his six children, reports In Touch.

A source tells the mag, “Brad will ask for shared custody."

 

Angelina Jolie Releases Statement After Filing For Divorce From Brad Pitt

Posted on Tue Sep 20th, 2016 10:13am PDT       By X17 Staff


We still can't believe this is actually happening...

Angelina Jolie has released a statement via her manager and lawyer following the news that she's filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.

"Angelina will always do what’s in the best interest to protect her children. She appreciates everyone’s understanding of their need for privacy at this time," her manager Geyer Kosinski explained.

"This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time,” her attorney Robert Offer explained in another statement.

Protecting the children? The health of the family?! This seems like a carefully worded way of saying Brad is a bad dad!

Sources tell TMZ the actor's penchant for weed and booze pushed his wife to the breaking point, but we're not sure we're buying that. She knew the World War Z star loved pot since the minute she met him! Although, perhaps he slid back into old habits, because he has previously discussed how he quit the drug when he became a father.

"I quit smoking [marijuana]. That [having kids] was the only thing that got me to quit. That was it. Done," he confessed during an interview. His crumbling relationship could have driven him to pick up the reefer again!

UPDATE: Brad Pitt has released his own statement.

"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time," he said.

 

Jon Voight On Angelina Jolie's Divorce From Brad Pitt: "I'm Concerned"

Posted on Tue Sep 20th, 2016 9:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Angelina Jolie's famous father, Jon Voight, is just as shocked as we are that his daughter filed for divorce from her longtime love. Sounds like someone is not in the know!

“I don’t know much about it except it must be something serious,” Voight told Radar. “I just got the news and I’m concerned.”

When asked about why the A-listers split, he said he did not know but guess he would learn when he “sees Angie and the children soon.”

The 77-year-old added that, “The priority is always the children … I know she’s always concerned about the children.”

Despite the divorce, the Ray Donovan actor hopes that the estranged couple will have an amicable split for the sake of their six kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

“I’m hopeful,” he said. “Say a little prayer. This is news to me too.” It definitely seems like Voight is sad about the split -- but he also seems a little clueless about his daughter's life.

On Tuesday morning, we reported that brunette filed for divorce from Brad, according to TMZ.

The news site has reported that the Hollywood superstar filed for divorce from Brad Pitt on Sept. 15, citing irreconcilable differences. Apparently, she's seeking sole physical custody of the couple's six children. The site reported that the Salt actress, who nabbed divorce-lawyer-to-the-stars Laura Wasser, does NOT want Brad to have joint physical custody, but she will allow him visitation rights and joint legal custody. Yikes!

We've also been hearing that the split happened for various reasons but mainly due to Brad's parenting style mixed with a possible substance abuse issue -- and not a third person. A source says that Angelina is "fed up" with Brad's constant weed and possible alcohol consumption, as well as "an anger problem," which she felt endangered her children. Double yikes!

 

BREAKING NEWS - Angelina Jolie Files For Divorce From Brad Pitt, Seeks Full Custody Of Children

Posted on Tue Sep 20th, 2016 7:53am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's the divorce shocker of the decade! Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.

The news site has reported that the Hollywood superstar filed for divorce from Brad Pitt last week on Sept. 15, citing irreconcilable differences. And here's the real kicker: she's seeking sole physical custody of the couple's six children.

The site says that the Salt actress, who nabbed divorce-lawyer-to-the-stars Laura Wasser, does NOT want Brad to have joint physical custody, but she will allow him visitation rights and joint legal custody. Yikes! That pretty much means this divorce is not amicable and that Angie does NOT trust Brad to take care of their famous brood.

The outlet is also reporting that the split happened for various reasons but mainly due to parenting styles mixed with a possible substance abuse issue -- and not a third person. A source says that Angelina is "fed up" with Brad's constant weed and possible alcohol consumption, as well as "an anger problem," which she felt endangered her children. Yikes!

It's also possible that the Oscar winner's philanthropic agenda tore them apart? Perhaps Brad no longer handle his lady love's star status? Or did something sketchy happen?

Brad and Angie married in August 2014, but have been together since meeting on the set of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith in 2004.

We don't know exactly what split up the longtime couple ... but there's one thing we do know: JENNIFER ANISTON IS HAVING THE BEST TUESDAY EVER!

Natalie Portman Returns To LA After Debuting Baby Bump In Venice

Posted on Tue Sep 20th, 2016 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


After debuting her baby bump on the red carpet at the Venice International Film Festival, Natalie Portman kept it covered up when she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday afternoon.

We had a feeling the Oscar winner was pregnant again, and at the premiere of Planetarium last week she proudly showed off her bump under a gorgeous white gown. Though she didn't comment on it, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the actress and husband Benjamin Millepied are in fact expecting their second child together.

Portman and Millepied met on the set of Black Swan in 2010 and in 2011 they welcomed son Aleph. In 2012 the duo got married.

 

Jim Carrey Fights Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed By Late Girlfriend's Estranged Husband

Posted on Tue Sep 20th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


The estranged husband of Jim Carrey's late girlfriend, Cathriona White, has filed a wrongful lawsuit against the star, alleging that Carrey contributed to White's death. The actor is fighting back, vehemently denying that he provided White with prescription pills that ultimately led to her suicide.

White and Burton were separated when she dated Carrey, and though they were on and off, apparently they were together at the time of her death, which was caused by “multiple drug effects," according to the coroner. The toxicology report stated that she had Ambien, Percocet and Propranolol in her system, and in legal docs, Burton claims that the drugs were prescribed to Carrey under his pseudonym Arthur King, and that he gave them to White.

Carey said in a statement to Us Weekly:
    "What a shame. It would be easy for me to get back in a room with this man’s lawyer and make this go away, but there are moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor against the evil in this world. I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved. Cat's troubles were born long before I met her and sadly her tragic end was beyond anyone's control. I really hope someday soon people will stop trying to profit from this and let her rest in peace."

Carrey’s lawyer, Marty Singer, added, "Jim never supplied his prescription medications to Ms. White," noting that the prescriptions were "legally obtained medications that were prescribed to him by his doctor," and that the actor would "vigorously fight" the lawsuit.

 

Sofia Richie Is A Hot Mess After Split From Justin Bieber

Posted on Tue Sep 20th, 2016 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


She's brave for stepping out so soon after a split, but Sofia Richie let her clothes do the talking when we caught up with her on Monday afternoon!

Sofia, who JUST ended things with Justin Bieber, was snapped wearing a white bodycon dress, fuzzy slippers and an "Enfants Riches Deprimes" jean jacket, which is French for "Depressed Rich Kids." Judging from the smile on her face, she doesn't seem that bummed about the breakup, but she did seem intent on dodging the rain, so she hustled to and from her Tesla.

After just one month of dating and trips to Mexico and Japan, Sofia and the Biebs broke up. Seems mutual, but apparently it was never that serious to begin with. "These girls all go crazy for him, but he's not settling down. It's virtually impossible where he's at in his life and career for anything to last with these girls," a source previously told People.
