Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie set to face-off in French winery trial

Fresh off the heels of their eight-year divorce battle, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are gearing up for a courtroom face-off over their winery in the south of France.

Pitt, 61, anticipates the trial concerning Château Miraval will span 15 days, though its start date has not yet been set, according to court documents filed last Friday and obtained by Us Weekly.

The “F1” star and 50-year-old Jolie — once together known as “Brangelina” — purchased the $164 million Provence winery in 2008, six years before getting married on the property and eight years before separating in 2016.

Jolie hoped in the summer of 2021 to sell her stake in the winery, but Pitt sued her the following year for “vindictively” selling her shares to a Russian oligarch, in violation of their agreement that required Pitt’s approval.

In the wake of Jolie claiming that her ex was “looting” Château Miraval in an effort to devalue the property, the pair agreed in July 2023 to settle out of court. But things took a turn in 2024.

Roughly six weeks before the A-listers finalized their divorce in late December, a Los Angeles judge ruled in favor of Pitt’s bid to bring the winery case to trial. Us Weekly reported at the time that the trial might not even start until 2026.

Though the bitter divorce dragged on for years, Pitt and Jolie were declared legally single in 2019. Two years later, Pitt won joint custody of their five minor kids, though the tentative ruling did not apply to their son Maddox, who was 19 at the time. The custody agreement was ultimately tossed and now, only two of their children, 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, remain minors.

Daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, 19, successfully filed to remove the Pitt portion of her surname in May 2024, following in the footsteps of siblings Maddox, now 23, and Zahara, 20.

During his appearance on “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard” this week, Pitt opened up about entering Alcoholics Anonymous in the wake of Jolie filing for divorce.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024.

NYC mom who may die from Randalls Island beatdown spent 6 hours on ground unconscious

The Queens single mom clinging to life after being savagely beaten and robbed of her e-bike on Randalls Island was left unconscious on the ground for nearly six hours before she was discovered by a passerby the next morning, the Daily News has learned. Diana Agudelo was biking home from her job as a janitor at an East Harlem museum, taking her usual short cut through Randalls Island to get to her Astoria apartment, when she was attacked about 11:30 p.m. Friday. One or more assailants struck her multiple times in the head and face before apparently stealing her e-bike and belongings. A passerby didn’t spot her unconscious near the bike path until about 5:15 a.m. the next day as the sky began to lighten on the sparsely populated island, which is home to sports fields and institutions including shelters, a psychiatric hospital and an FDNY training facility. Agudelo made it through surgery Wednesday to relieve pressure on her brain but only has a 1% chance of ultimately surviving, ...
