Call us crazy, but Knox Jolie-Pitt looks a LOT like his grandpa, Jon Voight!

Mom Angelina Jolie is currently in New York City for the Women in the World Summit, and in between appearances and events on Friday she stepped out with Knox and her other five kids. The family vacationed in Santa Barbara over the Easter weekend, and prior to that Angelina was in Africa for a United Nations trip.

At the Summit yesterday Jolie presented Malala Yousafzai with a $200,000 donation to the Malala Fund, and the money will be used to send girls to school. Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban last year for her advocacy for educating young women, and following the attack, Vital Voices and the Women in the World Foundation established the fund.

“This is the happiest moment of my life,” Malala told the audience. “If we can educate 40 girls, we can educate 40 million girls.”

She's always down for a cause!

On Thursday, Angelina Jolie was all smiles as she arrived at the 2013 Women of the World Summit in New York City.

The Oscar-winning actress made a touching tribute to Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teenager who was shot by the Taliban last year because of her strong advocacy for girls education.

She survived the horrific attack and in order to honor her efforts, Jolie donated $200,00 to the newly launched Malala Fund and even pledged another $50,000 to build a school in her name.

What a charitable gesture!

Angelina Jolie Opens All-Girls School In Afghanistan

Apr 2, 2013 09:15 AM

Angelina Jolie has opened an all-girls in the Kabul section of Afghanistan, according to E! News.

The 37-year-old Oscar winner/UNHCR Goodwill ambassador reportedly picked the region due to its high refugee population, and because it is an area that normally favors male education over female education. The school is already open and educating between 200 and 300 girls, and Angelina said in a statement that she plans on opening more schools using the proceeds from her soon-to-be-released Style of Jolie jewelry line.

“Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need,” Angelina said.

Jolie's jewelry line, which she co-designs with Robert Procop, will go on sale this week, and 100% of the earnings will be donated to her new initiative, The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.

Angelina Jolie Returns To Los Angeles After Her United Nations Trip To Africa

Mar 27, 2013 07:37 PM

Angelina Jolie made a United Nations visit to the Republic of Congo and Rwanda earlier this week to meet rape and sexual assault victims in the region, and she returned to Los Angeles on Wednesday.

But noticeably absent was her massive engagement ring from Brad Pitt, which she replaced with a simpler gold band. We highly doubt Angelina and Brad tied the knot, rather, she likely switched rings as not to be flaunting a 7 carat diamond worth an estimated $500,000 while visiting with refugees.

Yesterday the Oscar winner laid a wreath at the Rwanda memorial for the nearly 800,000 people killed in the 1992 genocide, and according to a statement from the UNHCR, the purpose of Jolie and Hague's visit was to "highlight the terrible human cost of war zone rape and to call for Governments worldwide to address this neglected and growing problem."

While Angie was sweet and smiley with our photographers, she simply laughed when asked if she was getting married this summer. Of course, when one videographed spoke up and asked if her gold ring was a wedding band, she replied, "No it's not." Check out the video below!

Angelina Jolie Heads To Congo To Visit Rape And Sexual Assault Survivors

Mar 26, 2013 12:15 PM

UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie and the U.K.'s Foreign Secretary William Hague are currently in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to visit with survivors of rape and sexual violence and the local organizations and UN groups supporting them.

The pair aim to "highlight the terrible human cost of war zone rape and to call for Governments worldwide to address this neglected and growing problem." The joint visit continues the work they started in May of 2012, when William Hague and Angelina Jolie launched a new UK campaign to prevent conflict zone rape and sexual violence.

Jolie added in a statement:

    "This visit is about hearing first hand from people who have endured rape and sexual violence during the conflict in the Eastern DRC. We want to identify ways in which the international community can help them to rebuild their lives. We want to learn the lessons that their experience holds for how the world can protect thousands of women, men and children at risk of rape in many other conflict zones. And we want to persuade Governments around the world to give this issue the attention it deserves. Unless the world acts, we will always be reacting to atrocities, treating survivors rather than preventing rape in the first place. I welcome the United Kingdom’s efforts to galvanize the international action that is so desperately needed."

In three weeks Foreign Ministers of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Canada, Japan, Germany, Russia and Italy will in London for the annual G8 summit, and Hague and Jolie are calling on the politicians to agree to "landmark measures to secure justice for survivors of sexual violence and deter perpetrators."

Maddox And Pax Jolie-Pitt Kick Around The Ball

Brangelina did say they want enough kids to make a soccer team!

Maddox and Pax Jolie-Pitt did some brother bonding over the weekend, playing soccer in Burbank while a trusty bodyguard looked on. It looks like they have some serious skills!

Brad and Angelina's eldest son was sporting a pretty serious 6-pack!

Footie isn't the only thing the boys like to do in their off time, though! According to reports, the Brangie brood asked their famous parents to build them a zoo on their property at Chateau Mirival!

"Maddox and Pax are safari mad and they wanted Brad to buy them lions and tigers, even crocodiles. Brad decided to go with a mini farm/petting zoo theme that the twins, Knox and Vivienne, can enjoy looking after as well. They're in a penned-off area in a field with little huts that the animals live in. Brad thinks it is good for them to learn to look after other living creatures," a source dished to The Sun.

We bet Shiloh was upset she missed this soccer session!

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Knox And Pax Jolie-Pitt Play Video Games After Catching A Flick

Mar 18, 2013 10:45 AM

knoxpax031813.jpg Nothing like a brother bonding day!

Knox and Pax Jolie-Pitt were treated to a fun outing yesterday in Burbank, first catching a screening of Oz The Great and Powerful before playing some video games at the theater arcade. Famous parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie must have stayed home with the rest of their brood, because the boys were accompanied by the nanny.

Little Knox is already four-years-old, but it feels like just yesterday the world was anxiously awaiting the birth of the famous Brangie twins!

Hollywood's King and Queen have been engaged since last April, but we have yet to hear much about when they plan on tying the knot! They have previously given quotes about how anxious their children are for them to get married, so something tells us the nuptials are happening sooner rather than later!

Angelina Jolie Teams Up With The Coen Brothers For Her Next Film

Feb 27, 2013 06:00 AM

jolie-coen-bros.jpgWe already knew Angelina Jolie was directing a film about famous World War II P.O.W. Lou Zamperini, but now the project will pack some serious punch thanks to the literary talents of Ethan and Joel Coen.

The Coen brothers have been tapped to rewrite the script for Unbroken, which is an adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand’s 2010 book. Universal picked up the rights to the novel in January 2011, and sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Jolie was "extremely choosy" when it came to locking down screenwriters.

Zamperini was an Olympic runner who later joined the Air Force, and after his plane crashed in the Pacific in 1942, he survived without food and water for 47 days and was then held as a prisoner of war for two years by the Japanese.

The Coens have been nominated five times for Academy Awards in the writing category alone, winning for No Country for Old Men and Fargo. Can't wait to hear more about this collaboration!
