Brad Pitt to Fight Angelina Jolie in Court Over Château Miraval in 2-Week Trial, Details Inside
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are set to face each other in court again. The ex-couple has locked horns in a legal battle over the ownership of the Château Miraval winery.
In the documents submitted by Pitt and Jolie in the court, it is mentioned that they expect the trial to run for over 2 weeks. While the trial date is yet to be determined, the F1 star revealed that the case might get complicated, as foreign parties are involved.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to battle it out
The Château Miraval winery was bought by Pitt and Jolie ahead of their marriage in 2008. Following the couple's split, the actor revealed that they planned to pass it down to their six children. However, his ex-wife broke the promise.
According to the reports from US Weekly, the Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-stars had promised that neither of them would sell their separate shares in the winery without informing the other.
While the exes parted ways, they continue to hold a stake in the winery. Almost five years after splitting up, the actress informed her ex-husband that he wanted out of the property.
In the official mail that Jolie sent across, she mentioned, 'In the past four years I have seen lots of inconsiderate behavior, money spent in ways that I would not have approved, and decisions made that I was not consulted on.'
She further added, 'I've been hurt by decisions that have been made that show no interest in sharing the business or changing it fundamentally into something that would be healthier for our children.'
Meanwhile, in his lawsuit, the Wolfs actor claimed that Jolie had sold her stake in the French Miraval to the Stoli Group without consulting with him. He went on to claim that the decision was made against the agreement that was made.
Further details about the case trial will be rolled out soon.

Pondy's French citizens are coming home, GenZ loves fake weddings & other great reads
A friend of more than two decades recently asked me where 'home' is after realizing that my life is spread across four cities, and I have none of the trappings that would anchor me to one place. What does 'home' mean really, and how do we anchor ourselves? It's a question that we delved into at Lounge this week. We write about a young generation of Indian French citizens returning after years in France to make their homes in Puducherry, opening businesses, setting up restaurants, documenting the town's heritage and becoming a bridge between multiple cultures. Beneath the surface of the comfortable lives these French-Pondicherrians have created for themselves lies a history of the alienating violence of colonialism, migration and displacement. Aravinda Anantharaman's reporting spans business, history, food, livelihood, heritage and generational change that continues to shape the seaside town that's now a tourist destination. In a world with so much alarm about borders, this story points to a more accepting, fluid way of living that is a mélange of French, Tamil, even Caribbean and Cambodian cultures, and finding the sense of belonging. And we have more great writing and ideas to mull over all weekend. Could you imagine a wedding party without a bride and groom? That's exactly what Gen Z has turned the wedding into—a beautiful wedding with lots of food and fun, without the stress of having to find gifts, deal with family and dress up perfectly. Wedding parties that are just that, a reason to party, are all the rage in Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune. Maybe Gen Z has got it right, muses Shrabonti Bagchi. After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy great food, fantastic music and a lot of dancing without the worry of toxic relatives and the weight of societal expectations? Read more. Offal often gets a bad name but chefs and home cooks are dusting out family recipes and adding a twist of innovation to this simple food and elevating it to a fine-dining concept. With its transformation from affordable meat to fine-dining ingredient, old stigmas about eating this food that is both sustainable and convenient are also ebbing away, writes Rituparna Roy.

They're touching grass—internet speak for going offline and taking in the world outside—to counter brain rot, an effect of excessive consumption of digital content. And this means a return to the basics: They're joining book clubs, heritage walks and communities, and going on solo dates to log off. Sara Siddiqui meets the young people organizing these clubs and activities to help their peers manage their mental health and physical wellbeing. Read more. Every year, Motorola launches a new Razr foldable with gorgeous finishes, better cameras and the latest chips, but this year's launch—the Razr 60 Ultra ( ₹ 99,999) feels more complete and a notch higher than past iterations.

The latest Snapdragon 8 Elite takes it to proper flagship territory, along with a bigger battery with boosted life, mature software and good camera upgrades.

This season, the designers behind the brand, brothers Shantnu and Nikhil Mehra, are branching out and entering the world of womenswear with their new label Shantnu & Nikhil Luxe.

Simply put, they're planning to sell statement evening wear that's well-tailored, playful yet formal. The brothers tell Manish Mishra about the inspiration behind their latest foray. Read more. Nihari, biryani and korma have come to represent Pakistan's cuisine, with most recipe blogs on the internet confining themselves to these dishes. Author Maryam Jillani has been trying to change this with her 'Pakistan Eats' blog since 2016, and she's now published her first cookbook that documents the range of cuisines across the country. Pakistan's many cuisines have a diversity of ingredients and cooking techniques that reflect the intersection of economics, politics and migrantion crisis. The book also holds a certain nostalgia for 90s kids in India too—there are recipes for trifle and black forest cake, which were our introduction to the world of cakes and pastries, writes Shirin Mehrotra.

After Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce break-in scares, Brad Pitt's mansion burglarized amid F1 film tour
In a growing trend that's raising alarms across the entertainment and sports worlds, Brad Pitt has become the latest celebrity victim of a high-stakes home burglary. The break-in at his $5.5 million Los Feliz mansion took place while he was overseas promoting his highly anticipated Formula 1 film, a project he co-produced with Lewis Hamilton. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The timing is especially concerning, mirroring similar incidents involving NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, who were targeted while away on public commitments. Brad Pitt targeted during global movie tour, joins list of burglarized public figures Authorities believe Brad Pitt's public schedule may have been exploited by organized criminals tracking his high-profile appearances during the F1 film's London premiere. As the movie gains international attention for its real-race footage and collaboration with Formula 1 insiders, Pitt's personal security has been compromised. 'It's another example of how public schedules can be weaponized,' a security expert noted, reflecting on the growing risks tied to celebrity visibility. Pitt's home invasion follows a string of similar incidents targeting athletes and A-list celebrities. NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes had his home intruded upon earlier this year, and , fresh off a Super Bowl win and in the global spotlight thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift, has also faced multiple privacy breaches. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce may offer Brad Pitt security insights amid rising celebrity break-ins Given their shared experiences, Mahomes and Kelce could serve as valuable resources for Pitt. The Chiefs tight end has publicly discussed beefing up his home security with private teams and smart surveillance systems, particularly since dating Swift. Kelce's proactive steps may now become a model for others navigating fame and personal vulnerability. Mahomes, known for his team-oriented approach both on and off the field, has reportedly leaned on advanced technology and expert consultations after his own home was targeted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His experience dealing with such a violation might provide Pitt—and other celebrities—practical steps for reclaiming safety and peace of mind. The troubling frequency of these invasions suggests this isn't a random spree—it's a pattern. With celebrities being tracked during press tours, filming schedules, and public appearances, the need for a stronger, more collaborative security framework has never been more urgent. As Pitt increases surveillance around his property and authorities review footage and witness reports, other stars may need to follow suit.
