Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt’s Fight Over $160 Million Wine Business Gets Uglier


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, once a beloved couple, have been at the centre of a high-profile breakup and have been making headlines for years. In a recent turn of events, Daily Mail has unearthed a series of email exchanges that shed light on the close and unexpected friendship between Angelina and Russian vodka tycoon Yuri Shefler. These emails have surfaced amid Brad accused the two of plotting against the Fight Club star. One particular email, dating back to May 25, 2022, surfaced in court documents filed by Brad’s legal team, exposing Shefler’s invitation to Angelina to visit his Scottish castle on the Tulchan estate in the Speyside region of Scotland.
Just months prior to this invitation, Angelina had sold her part of the French winery, Chateau Miraval to Shefler for $8.5 million. This deal made Brad furious, due to which he filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. In the legal battle, the Inglorious Bastards star has accused Shefler’s company of attempting a takeover of the wine business that he had shared with his former wife. On the other hand, Shefler claimed that the actor was trying to damage the business relationship between Shefler and Angelina.

The mystery surrounding whether Angelina Jolie accepted Yuri Shefler’s invitation to visit his Scottish castle remains unsolved. Meanwhile, Angelina and Brad Pitt purchased the land in 2008 for approximately $27 million. At that point, they had become equal owners of the vineyard and its business. In the legal case, Brad had claimed that the actress had decided the sell her share without notifying him and also stated that her actions were a deliberate attempt to damage the business’s reputation and diminish his investment.
Meanwhile, his lawyers mentioned, “Brad – through significant financial investment and years of sweat equity – has built a highly successful family-owned business. Miraval has correspondingly grown massively in value since 2008 and is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Angelina pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Brad in the dark, and knowingly violating his contractual rights.”

In a leaked email obtained by Vanity Fair, Angelina Jolie speaking with Brad Pitt on January 21, 2021, shared her intention to distance herself from a business which involves alcohol. In response, the actor was interested in purchasing the land from her. However, when she declined to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) preventing her from publicly discussing their well-known in-flight altercation, the deal collapsed.
Brad in the court document alleged that he learned about the sale of their shares through the media. According to the actor, they had a ‘mutual and binding commitment’ regarding their $160 million business and had agreed not to sell without each other’s consent. However, Angelina claimed such agreements don’t exist. Her lawyers stated, “Still today and in the seven years since that fateful plane ride, Brad personally has never publicly denied that it happened. The reality is that Pitt refused to complete the Miraval sale with Angelina unless she agreed to being silenced about the abuse.”

The legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took another turn as her investment company, Nouvel, filed a $350 million lawsuit against Brad in July. They accused him of “wasting the company’s assets” and spending a large amount on renovations of a swimming pool and the construction of a recording studio on the property. They alleged that Pitt had looted the wine business and treated it as his personal cashbox.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
