Hollywood – With proper planning and execution, vineyards can be very profitable. Growing grapes requires the study of grape varieties, careful analysis of local weather and soil, and knowledge of local customers. Marketing, promotion, and utilizing the latest point-of-sale technology will also help winery owners succeed. Celebrities who own their own vineyards and wineries include the Beckhams, Donald Trump, Madonna, Cameron Diaz, Dwyane Wade, Cara Delevingne, and Brad Pitt. Disagreements over properties and joint ventures, including Chateau Miraval, have become an issue between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In February 2022, Pitt sued Jolie and her company Nouvelle for selling her share of the winery without the consent that should have been agreed upon. According to legal documents, Jolie “tried to harm” her ex-husband when she sold her share of the co-owned vineyard to a Russian oligarch. Together they bought a winery in France.
On April 4, 2024, Angelina Jolie's lawyers filed a motion to release the communications, arguing that they “prove” that Pitt would not allow her to sell her shares in Chateau Miraval unless she agreed to an “extensive” non-disclosure agreement. Pitt is countersuing, alleging that millions of dollars of Chateau Miraval funds were used for personal projects. The actress' daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt, filed a petition in a Los Angeles court to have Pitt removed from her name. She wants to be Shiloh Jolie, and filed the petition on May 27, her 18th birthday.Number Birthday. Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016, but details of the separation have not been finalized and no settlement agreement has yet been reached.
Shiloh is the third of the former couple's six children, but she's not the first sibling to ask to move away from the Pitt name. Earlier this year, her 15-year-old sister Vivienne dropped her father's surname in a playbill program for the Broadway production of “The Outsiders.” In 2023, her eldest sister Zahara will be seen introducing herself as Zahara Marley Jolie when she is inducted into the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College. Shiloh, who voiced in the animated film “Kung Fu Panda 3,” is the first of her siblings to file a formal petition to legally change her name. The legal request comes amid a developing divorce battle between Jolie and Pitt, who married in August 2014. Jolie filed for divorce after an incident in 2016 in which Pitt grabbed her head and assaulted their two children on a plane. Jolie said Pitt denies the allegations that he verbally abused and threw alcohol at her family during a flight from France to Los Angeles. The two were locked in a custody battle, with Pitt awarded joint custody in 2021. Both actors are also currently suing each other.
Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne hit the red carpet in support of Kristen Bell at the opening night of the revival of Reefer Madness: The Musical in Los Angeles on May 30. Kristen was one of the original cast members and is a producer of the musical. Angelina and her youngest daughter looked impressive. It is unclear whether Vivienne has taken legal action to remove Pitt's last name from her identification, but the names of Angelina and Brad's youngest children, twins Knox, are listed simply as “Vivienne Jolie.”
While Angelina Jolie has been in the spotlight, Jennifer Lopez has been keeping a low profile lately. She canceled her “This Is Me…Live” tour. Ticket distributor Live Nation announced last Friday that the summer 2024 tour has been canceled, saying Jennifer is “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.” In a statement, Live Nation assured fans that refunds would be automatically issued. “I am completely heartbroken and devastated to have let you all down,” she wrote to her fans in her newsletter, “On the JLo.” The tour cancellation comes amid ongoing speculation about Lopez's marriage to actor Ben Affleck. There are rumors that tickets to a series of concerts are selling poorly. During a press conference for her new sci-fi film, “Atlas,” last week, Lopez denied questions about reports that her marriage was in trouble. The two were last seen together at Affleck's daughter Violet's graduation ceremony earlier this week. Ben and Jennifer Lopez have been married since July 2022.
Rose's scoop: Ticketmaster owner Live Nation has admitted to unauthorized activity in its databases after announcing that a group of hackers had stolen the personal information of 560 million customers. The stolen data includes names, phone numbers and partial credit card details, according to the group that claimed responsibility, ShinyHunters. The group is demanding a ransom of $500,000 to prevent the data from being sold to other parties.
