In celebrity news, Angelina Jolie is waging a way over custody of her six children with Brad Pitt after their celebrity divorce. In a court document filed August 7 by Jolie’s legal team, Jolie claimed Pitt “has paid no meaningful child support” in the 23 months since their separation. According to UsMagazine.com, sources say the reason Jolie is revving up the custody battle is because, “She sees the writing on the wall: Joint custody is a done deal, and there is nothing she can do to stop it.” Pitt was the subject of a child services investigation immediately following Jolie’s divorce filing, but he was cleared of any wrongdoing. Though Jolie has held primary custody of the kids, Pitt has been granted increased visitation rights. In June, Pitt was granted temporary shared custody for the summer by an L.A. judge. An insider said, “Brad is done playing doormat to Angie, hoping that would tamp down her anger. He is going to trust his lawyers and inner circle of friends to continue to be there for him — and get him joint custody of the kids.”

In celebrity news, royal celebrity couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are apparently ignoring some big royal rules. A source told People that Meghan “has found certain rules in the royal household difficult to understand, like the fact that the Queen prefers women in dresses or skirts rather than trouser suits, and is often asking Harry why things have to be done a certain way. I think she finds it a little frustrating at times, but this is her new life, and she has to deal with it.” It appears Meghan is willing to challenge some of the rules of the monarchy, such as public displays of affection. According to EOnline.com, Meghan held on tightly to Harry when they made their first public appearance at the 2017 Invictus Games. Meghan has also made it clear she’s not afraid to voice her political opinions, proclaiming that she is proud to be a woman and a feminist on her page of the official British monarchy website. She also voiced her opinions at the first-ever Royal Foundation Forum this past winter, “I hear a lot of people speaking about girls’ empowerment and women’s empowerment; you will hear people saying they are helping women find their voices. I fundamentally disagree with that because women don’t need to find their voices, they need to be empowered to use it and people need to be urged to listen. I think right now in the climate we’re seeing with so many campaigns, with #MeToo and Time’s Up, there’s no better time than to really continue to shine a light on women feeling empowered and people really helping to support them—men included in that.” Meghan also hasn’t shied away from more modest clothing, opting to bear a sliver of her shoulder at her Trooping of Colour debut in June and often wearing suits instead of only wearing the traditional attire of a skirt or dress. Meghan and Harry also chose to make personal decisions regarding their wedding in May. The couple personalized their wedding vows, had a lemon elderflower cake instead of a traditional fruitcake and chose Reverend Michael Bruce Curry, a Chicago native and the first black presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, to deliver a sermon on their special day.

In celebrity couple news, Mila Kunis dished the details of her nightmare honeymoon with Ashton Kutcher following their secret wedding in 2015. On an appearance on The Tonight Show on July 30, Kunis told host Jimmy Fallon that she got Kutcher an RV for his birthday and decided to put it to use for their honeymoon. But, Kunis described the celebrity vacation as “a real-life national Lampoon honeymoon” and it seems the trip did not go as planned. The Spy Who Dumped Me star stated her in-laws came on the trip and told Fallon, “So we’re in our, like, little tin can on wheels and my in-laws are in what my husband coined as like, ‘the Taj Mahal’ of RVs. It is like a double pop out, it’s got jacuzzis. Like everything. We, again, with our 10-month-old are in a tin can on wheels. That’s how it starts.” Kunis added, “Eight hours into our RV trip … our air conditioner breaks in Bakersfield in 110 degree weather. We almost died on the side of the road when Apple Maps took us on a road … It was a fire road on the side of a mountain. We all had to jump out of the vehicle and walk like, three miles while my father-in-law drove the van and Ashton navigated him over massive boulders because there had just been a massive flood. Guys, this was like, day two.” Kunis then went on to say that she eventually gave up on the disastrous honeymoon, saying, “Long story short, my wonderful, beautiful mother-in-law picked the RV parks that we were staying in, but she didn’t use the internet. She used books. She’s like, ‘We’ll end in Napa, it’ll be beautiful,’ and I was like, ‘You know what, what can go wrong?’ Let me tell you. An RV park not in Napa, but an hour outside of Napa with two prisons, OK … and my husband looked at me and goes, ‘I quit,’ and I’m like, ‘Me too.’”

It is clear he does not want to lose her. So it is also clear that he is insecure about the fact that there are two other men in her life. This is a very real moment for me. I appreciated that he was vulnerable enough to express that to her rather than hiding behind a smile.” Lindsay also appreciated when Hortsmann said “I look for reasons to stay and not reasons to leave.” Regarding Kufrin’s date with contestant Garrett Yrigoyen, Lindsay said, “He tells Becca he loves her and I have to say I did not feel it. I heard the man, but I did not feel him. It did not come out as smoothly or as sincerely as Jason and Blake’s ‘I love you’ did. Garrett also just doesn’t seem like a smoother operator so there’s that.” Lindsay also said, “I feel like there is something we are missing from Garrett.”

When a celebrity sells their home, it typically goes for millions of dollars. However, there’s a rising trend in that celebrities are first slashing hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions, off of the asking price first. Earlier this year, according to The Observer, former One Direction member, Harry Styles, slashed $500,000 off the asking price of his LA mansion, while actor, Mel Gibson, recently knocked $2.3 million off his Malibu mansion’s listing price. Often, a well-publicized celebrity break-up is the cause for the swift drop in price in order to secure a fast sale, but in other instances celebs just don’t seem to want to hang around for a buyer.

We went into this relationship super transparent with one another, so we knew 100 percent each other’s faults, we knew exactly who we were. … And we were like, ‘I accept you for who you are.’”
