Brad Pitt wants access to Angelina Jolie's private conversations to prove his case
The F1: The Movie actor recently filed court documents requesting to see private conversations between Angelina and Alexey Oliynik, who works for Stoli Group, which bought out her stake of the winery.
Zahara Jolie, Angie and Brad's daughter, is all grown up and dating a rising star!
In 2021, the Salt actress sold her 50% stake to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group and Brad felt sidelined when the news broke because he claimed they'd had an agreement that they both had to give consent before selling. The following year, he sued Angelina (50), claiming he'd been 'waging a vindictive war' against her since she filed for divorce in 2016.
In the new filing, Brad (61) claims Alexey had firsthand knowledge of the sale of the French winery and that he was refusing to hand over relevant documents.
'These requests go directly to key allegations about Pitt's objections to the sale,' the Oscar winner's legal team wrote in his filing.
His lawyers say the documents will prove Brad's claims that Angie 'acted with malice' in selling to Stoli, a move 'she knew Pitt opposed'.
The former couple haven't commented on the new filings, but Angie's legal team has previously said that Brad declined to buy her out of the winery business because she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement he wanted from her.
The actress claimed that Brad's non-disclosure agreement was 'designed to force her silence about his abuse', referring to a private jet flight in 2016 in which Brad was allegedly verbally and physically abusive with his family.
An insider shared that the events leading up to the divorce are what 'turned the kids against him' but adds that Brad 'doesn't blame [Angelina] for everything'.
'The divorce is something that had been controlling his life for so many years,' the insider says. 'He loved her and he knows he made mistakes.'
The Babylon actor recently opened up on a podcast about facing obstacles with perseverance and said that he's ready to put the past behind him as he's learned from his mistakes when it comes to parenthood and marriage.
'No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on,' he said at the premiere of F1.
Brad, who is now dating Ines de Ramon (32), said that at his age he sees 'how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back'.
'Friends, family, and that's it,' he said. 'From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.'
A source close to the mom of six said that Angelina hopes Brad can 'move on'. However, they point out that she feels this will be impossible until he calls off his lawyers.
'Sadly, until he drops his lawsuit, this family will not have the peace and healing they so very much desire and deserve,' Angie notes in legal documents her team has filed.

‘Happy Gilmore 2' Cast: Here's Every Star, Celebrity And Athlete Cameo
HAPPY GILMORE 2. Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in Happy Gilmore2. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025. Happy Gilmore 2 arrives on Netflix tomorrow, July 25. The sequel features both returning and new stars from the beloved 1996 golf comedy, along with more than two dozen celebrity cameos, including professional golfers, hip-hop legends, NFL players, WWE stars and more. Nearly three decades later, Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, the short-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer. In the original film, Gilmore enters a series of tournaments to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure. The movie ends with Gilmore winning the Tour Championship and reclaiming his grandmother's home. In the Netflix sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind following a tragic accident. But when he needs $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a ballet school in Paris, he returns to the sport in hopes of raising the money. HAPPY GILMORE 2. Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit in Happy Gilmore 2. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025. "Happy Gilmore isn't done with golf — not by a long shot," the film's synopsis reads. 'Adam Sandler's short-fused legend swings for a comeback to make his kid's dream come true.' Sandler told Good Morning America that his character's 'life isn't perfect right now' — at least 'at the beginning of the movie.' He continued, 'And he's a family man, and he's gettin' back into the golf game." In addition to Sandler, the 2025 film also sees the return of several familiar faces, including Julie Bowen as Happy's love interest, Virginia Venit; Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Happy's arrogant nemesis; and Ben Stiller as Hal L., the orderly from Happy's grandmother's nursing home. Unfortunately, Carl Weathers was set to reprise his role as Derick 'Chubbs' Peterson before he passed away in February 2024. Of course, no Sandler movie is complete without his family. The actor's real-life daughter, Sunny Sandler, plays Gilmore's daughter, Vienna. His wife, Jackie Sandler, and elder daughter, Sadie, also appear in the sports comedy.

Cardi B Channels Dolly Parton With Bird's Nest Hairdo at the Balenciaga Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
Cardi B took a style cue from Dolly Parton with bombshell bird's nest hair at the Balenciaga fall 2025 couture show in Paris on Wednesday morning. The artist's voluminous hairdo reached new heights with foot-long extensions that were tied and teased on top of Cardi B's head; her ends maintained the shape of the wide-barrel rollers that formed them. The inky tresses stuck out behind her, falling from the BumpIt positioned on the crown of her head.

TikTok-er-turned-pop star Addison Rae just sported the same dramatic aesthetic in the music video for her new hit, 'Times Like These,' which sees her undergo a major transformation from wet to wind-blown hair. Rae's grandiose style was designed by hair artist Lucas Wilson, whose client list includes models Gabbriette and Emily Ratajkowski. Cardi B's hair was most likely designed by Tokyo Stylez, her go-to hairstylist, with whom she's worked with on cover shoots and concert looks. Her makeup, on the other hand, bore a unique resemblance to trends from a later era. Her finely plucked, angled eyebrows, a burgeoning brow theme these days, harked back to the beauty aesthetics of the late '80s and early '90s, as did her bold red lip and shimmery purple shadow. Nothing about her visage spoke to the 'clean girl,' no-makeup trend that's consumed the online mecca since 2020. In fact, her made-up countenance drew comparisons to Doja Cat's punky makeup at the 2025 Met Gala in May. There, the 'Streets' vocalist wore aquatic shadow up to her skinny brows and matte lipstick in a dark crimson hue. For her fashion at the Balenciaga presentation, Cardi B donned a delicate long-sleeve, floral gown with intricate beading woven into the mesh fabric. She paired the sultry garment with sheer stockings and pointed-toe pumps. Elsewhere at the show, Lisa Rinna sported a relaxed, toned-down ensemble, consisting of a cocooning cobalt tracksuit and a straightened black bowl-cut wig similar to Anderson .Paak's signature 'do.

EXCLUSIVE: Cartier Taps Zoe Saldaña as Brand Ambassador
PARIS — Zoe Saldaña and Cartier are taking their relationship to new heights. The French jeweler revealed Thursday it had tapped the Academy Award-winning actress and producer as brand ambassador. More from WWD Richemont's Jewelry Sales Soar in Q1 Due to Demand in Europe, Americas and the Middle East Vanessa Kirby's Maternity Style During 'Fantastic Four' Press Tour: Going Sheer in Alaïa, Shimmering in Schiaparelli and More Kate Middleton Pairs Earth Tones in Ralph Lauren and Blazé Milano for Hospital Visit in Colchester Her appointment 'celebrates a relationship that has grown over many years and marks an exciting new chapter — one defined by shared creativity and bold expression,' Cartier's chief marketing officer Arnaud Carrez told WWD exclusively. 'Her talent, grace and effortless elegance have long resonated with the maison.' It is the culmination of 'a series of past collaborations that represent a shared bold creativity,' the brand said. 'I am honored to become an ambassador for Cartier, following many years of warm collaboration,' said Saldaña. 'I have long been an admirer of the maison's boundary-breaking savoir faire that creates incredible pieces of wearable art, and I look forward to continuing this special relationship.' One such striking piece was the bespoke capelet made in gold chain mail set with 150 diamonds and edged with faceted onyx pendants, which she wore to the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars after party. Since then she has regularly donned the French jeweler's designs on the red carpet. This year alone the actress donned the Melis necklace for January's Golden Globes ceremony, featuring the humble bumblebee as a 2.64-carat yellow diamond briolette amidst ball-shaped cut gems in hexagonal settings that figured honeycombs ripe with honey. And ahead of this year's Academy Awards, which saw her scoop up best performance by an actress in a supporting role for her work in the film 'Emilia Pérez,' she stepped out in a custom Saint Laurent look with the Panthères Versatiles necklace, a stylized articulated design where the feline curves around the neck toward a 10.10-carat Zambian sugarloaf emerald. At the time, she praised the transformable design, saying it brought 'a playful and surprising element, adding to the joy of wearing it.' Part of the Nature Sauvage high jewelry collection that was unveiled in 2024, it took more than 4,800 hours — that's more than 600 working days or some 34 months — to create this piece, which can be turned into a shoulder jewel thanks to a segment also wearable as a bracelet. In her new role at Cartier, Saldaña joins a roster of ambassadors that includes Gemma Chan, Blackpink's Jisoo, Timothée Chalamet and Rami Malek, with whom she starred in the 2022 comedy mystery 'Amsterdam.' Since her breakout role in 2000 teen drama 'Center Stage,' she has become a fixture in the sci-fi action movie world. Roles in 'Avatar,' 'Avengers' and 'Star Trek' have propelled her to being one of the highest-grossing actresses on the silver screen today. She is to date the only one to star in four films that have each grossed more than $2 billion worldwide. In addition to her ongoing role in spy thriller television series 'Special Ops: Lioness,' where she serves as executive producer, Saldaña will return to the big screen in the third installment of sci-fi epic 'Avatar' coming out in mid-December. A fourth film is filming with Michelle Yeoh and Sigourney Weaver among the costars, with a 2029 release, while the fifth chapter is slated for 2031. There's also talk that she could reprise her role in an upcoming 'Star Trek' sequel to be directed by J.J. Abrams.
