Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Discuss Marriage, New Film, Cancer Fight | TODAY
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitts marriage has been subject of manyrumors lately, with some reports claiming that the popular Hollywood couple is headed for a divorce. Now, a latest report by OK! magazine says that Pitt is moving into a bachelor pad in London without telling Jolie a claim that Gossip Cop debunked.
A source reportedly told OK! that Pitt, who is currently in the U.K. to shoot his upcoming movie, is tired of staying in hotels, Gossip Cop reported, citing the magazines article. The insider reportedly added that the Moneyball actor tried to convince [Jolie] that moving there together would be good for their marriage, but she refused to rearrange her schedule.
The magazines source reportedly went to say that the 52-year-old actor is secretly shopping for his own house in England without informing Jolie. Brads thinking time apart is exactly what they need, the insider reportedly said.
However, the gossip debunking websitedismissed the report as false. A Jolie-Pitt source told Gossip Cop that the OK! magazines report was ridiculous.
Gossip Cop also debunked another Jolie-Pitt rumor, which claimed that the couple was on the brink of a divorce over the 40-year-olds alleged s*x and drugs diary confessions. A National Enquirer report said that Pitt has been bothered by reminders of his wifes past problems, including heroin binges and kinky s*x games. A source reportedly told the tabloid that the 52-year-old is fed up with hearing the extent of her debauchery, many forays into s*x with both men and women, and the drugs.
The celebrity couple, who has been together for over 10 years, has been battling divorce rumors for some time now. However, they have been spotted togetheron several occasions,dismissing reports about their marriage troubles.

Congratulations to Alicia Vikander for best actress-ing her way into the supporting actress category. Of all the changes the academy is looking to correct, can it include some rules to prevent more of that?
The studios campaign people in whatever category they think they have the best chance to win, but academy members are free to write people in, too so she could have been nominated as best actress if enough write-ins went that way. Or, if her awards marketing was less successful.
Saoirse Ronan Dazzles in Green on Oscars 2016 Red Carpet | Live from the Red Carpet | E! News

Just about everyone being asked about the #OscarsSoWhite uproar has prepared an answer. That included Saoirse Ronan, the best actress nominee for Brooklyn; Rooney Mara, the supporting-actress nominee for Carol; and Sacha Baron Cohen, who is, um, not nominated for anything.
It probably hasnt been talked about enough, Ms. Ronan said in the video above, adding, We need to kind of snap out of it and when it comes to gender, race, culture, background, represent everyone and everything.

Ms. Mara, in the video above, said Beasts of No Nation was one of my favorite films this year and there were two performances in that film that were two of the best performances Ive ever seen, let alone this year, so I think its an important conversation to be having.
And Mr. Baron Cohen said, There arent enough African-Americans in any layer or level of the entertainment industry, and added, Latinos need to be represented more as well.
He noted that his next film, The Brothers Grimsby, has a diverse cast that includes himself; his wife, Isla Fisher; Penlope Cruz; and Gabourey Sidibe. Then again, he said, Theres no danger for my new movie to win an Academy Award.

Saoirse Ronan broke out when she was just 13 years-old inAtonement,and went from zero to sixty in no time at all. In fact, her first award show was the Oscars in 2008, where she was nominated for best supporting actress."When Iwas here before that was my very first awards show, which is incredible for it to be your first awards show, she said on the red carpet for THIS year"s Oscars(where she"snominated for best actress forBrooklyn, thank you very much).
And not only is she back,she is repeating her original Oscar look, but it isverygrown up. See the then/now:
QUITE a transformation.(Photo: Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY)
Don"t worry, it"s all totally intentional. Her emerald green Calvin Klein Collection look is a mirror of her first look and meant to represent her home country of Ireland (which plays a big role inBrooklyn, so it brings the whole thing full circle).
Good luck tonight, Saoirse. You already won our hearts.

Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Democrat of Hawaii, resigned as a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on Sunday in order to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders for president.
The endorsement came a day after Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary in South Carolina by a huge margin she captured nearly 74 percent of the vote in a signal of her support in the South right before several other Southern states vote in Tuesdays primaries.
Ms. Gabbard explained her decision in a video on YouTube in which she said that, as a military veteran, she wanted the United States to avoid interventionist wars of regime change.
As a veteran of two Middle East deployments, I know first hand the cost of war, said Ms. Gabbard, one of the first female combat veterans to serve in Congress. I know how important it is that our commander-in-chief has the sound judgment required to know when to use Americas military power and when not to use that power.
As a vice chair of the D.N.C., I am required to stay neutral in democratic primaries, but I cannot remain neutral any longer, she added. The stakes are just too high. Thats why today Im endorsing Senator Bernie Sanders to be our next president and commander in chief of the United States.
Ms. Gabbard, while not mentioning Mrs. Clinton by name, went on to cast Mr. Sanders as being more interested in peace and as someone who would be better trusted with the lives of American troops. She also implied that Mr. Sanders had better foreign policy judgment than his rival.
We need a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, and who understands the need for a robust foreign policy which defends the safety and security of the American people, and who will not waste precious lives and money on interventionist wars of regime change, Ms. Gabbard said. We can elect a president who will lead us into more interventionist wars of regime change, or we can elect a president who will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.
Ms. Gabbard, who was born in American Samoa and is the first Hindu elected to Congress, is seen as a young, rising star of the party but has publicly battled Democratic leadership. In October, Ms. Gabbard said she was uninvited from the first Democratic presidential primary debate by the chief of staff to Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the chairwoman of the national committee, after Ms. Gabbard appeared on television and called for more debates.
At the time, the partys leadership had been criticized for allowing only a limited number of debates, which some viewed as an effort to deny Mr. Sanders more time to confront Mrs. Clinton when she was ahead in polls. Ms. Wasserman Schultz has denied that Ms. Gabbard was uninvited from the debate.
Mr. Sanders welcomed Ms. Gabbards endorsement Sunday.
Congresswoman Gabbard is one of the important voices of a new generation of leaders, Mr. Sanders said in a statement. As a veteran of the Iraq War she understands the cost of war and is fighting to create a foreign policy that not only protects America but keeps us out of perpetual wars that we should not be in.
Ms. Wasserman Schultz praised Ms. Gabbard with a statement of her own. As one of the first female combat veterans to serve in Congress and the first American Samoan and Hindu member of Congress, Congresswoman Gabbard is a role model who embodies the American ideal that anyone can dream big and make a difference, Ms. Wasserman Schultz said. She is also a colleague in Congress and a friend, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside her when our Party unites behind whoever emerges as our nominee.
UFC 196: Holly Holm - Ready to Defend Championship
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports
The Fight: Conor McGregor vs. Nate DiazThe Real Fight: Nate Diaz vs. The UFC"s Best Interest
The Stakes
A massive fight between UFC lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos and UFC featherweight champ Conor McGregor fell apart when Dos Anjos pulled out due to a foot injury. Now, all involved parties are rolling the dice by putting McGregor opposite the always-dangerous Nate Diaz. If McGregor stays the course, the UFC, Dos Anjos and McGregor are poised for a huge payday. If Diaz wins, though, the UFC"s 2016 would suddenly become much less profitable.
The Question
Can the McGregor train keep a"rollin"?
Analysis
McGregor"s drawing power is second to none right now, and it"s approaching the point where he could, potentially, start breaking UFC gate and pay-per-view records. That, of course, is contingent on him winning.
If McGregor drops this fight to Diaz, the big super title fight is taken off the table. The potential welterweight title fight with Robbie Lawler after that? Gone. Add to that the fact that McGregor is seemingly done at 145 pounds, and this fight with Diaz, suddenly, becomes a high-stakes affair instead of a "fun fight for the fans."
Of course, fans should just kick back and enjoy the ride. UFC brass, however, are probably going to have at least one or two sleepless nights this week.
