I swear I’ve heard this Angelina Jolie story before, but this seems to be a new twist. Apparently, there are still some revelations left to be unfolded about Marcheline Bertrand’s death and her estate. Previously, I had read that Marcheline left her estate almost entirely to her daughter, Angelina Jolie, and her son, James Haven, and Angelina’s children. There was also a report that Marcheline’s estate owed back taxes, which I thought at the time might be about the thousands of dollars Jon Voight still owes in child support, from when Angelina and James were actual children. Anyway, this new twist is that documents recently filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court show that a large chunk of Marcheline’s estate will go to her only three of her grandchildren – Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh. Those were the only three grandkids Marcheline had at the time of her death in January 2007.
Three of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children were left a handsome six figures by the actress’ late mother, according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week.
Actress Marcheline Bertrand — who died in 2007 after a cancer battle — gave Maddox, 8, Zahara, 6, and Shiloh, 3, each $100,000 in a new trust fund. The three cannot have access to the money until they turn 25.
Why were Pax, 4, and newborn twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline (who was named after her grandmother) left out?
TMZ.com reports that “Grandma’s will was last updated in 2006, before any of them came into the picture … so they lose out. But we think they’ll be ok.”

Well, that’s nice that kids will have a trust fund, and that they won’t be able to access it until they turn 25, as opposed to 18 or 21 years old, when you don’t know anything about anything. My guess is that Angelina and Brad have already set up some kind of trust for all of their kids. I’ve heard rumors that Brad also set up trusts for his nieces and nephews too, so it be kind of obvious to do the same for your own children. Anyhoodle…
In a rather boring National Enquirer story this week, they claim Angelina pitched a fit over Brad’s boozing. Much like she alleged pitched a fit over his reefer madness. The pictures in the story are the ones we ran about Brad being “wasted away again in Margaritaville”. He went out and got drunk for his birthday, for the love of God!
AN outraged Angelina Jolie exploded in a rage and threw Brad Pitt out of the house when he staggered home after a tequila-fueled drinking binge, say insiders.
“Pack your things and get out!” sources say the enraged actress stormed as Brad tried to defend his guys’ night out.
The 34-year-old beauty went on a tirade after boozy Brad walked through the door Dec. 16, confided a friend. The big-screen hunk had been downing margaritas and shots with a buddy at the Mexico City restaurant near his Los Angeles home.
Wearing a rumpled black outfit and funky knit cap, Brad, 46, looked disheveled after partying a little more than two hours at the neighborhood eatery. And NOTHING could prepare him for running smack into Hurricane Angelina.
“She shouted, ‘HOW DARE you do this! You swore you wouldn’t drink like this. What kind of example are you setting for the kids?'”
Brad was ordered out and “did as he was told,” said the friend. “He took off on his motorcycle to the beach. He let his head clear and then came back after a couple of hours. Before the night was over, Angelina forgave him.”
The sultry brunette was already seething because only a month earlier Brad had gone off with George Clooney on a stag trip to Mexico.
“She felt like she was left to take care of everything while he’s off playing the bachelor,” revealed the friend.
“The good thing was that it all blew over pretty fast,” said the friend. “But it showed they are STILL on very thin ice.”

Blah, blah, blah. So maybe I just wrote about this story so I could show photos of Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand in the same post as a photo of Angelina and Brad. Angelina totally has daddy issues, because that photo of her parents is just spooky. Angie and Brad are so evocative of her parents, it’s crazy.
