Angelina Jolie Leaving America? Here's why the Hollywood icon wants to ditch the US and where she's headed next
Synopsis Angelina Jolie is planning to leave Los Angeles once her youngest children turn 18, selling her Los Feliz estate. She admitted staying in L.A. was due to her divorce settlement with Brad Pitt. Joining a trend of celebrities moving overseas, Jolie seeks a new chapter abroad, while still pursuing acting projects like the spy thriller, The Initiative. Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie is reportedly preparing to move out of the United States once her youngest children turn 18. According to People , the actress is considering 'several locations abroad' as she looks to put her Los Angeles estate on the market.
ADVERTISEMENT Jolie bought the historic Cecil B. DeMille mansion in Los Feliz back in 2017 for a reported $24.5 million. The 11,000-square-foot property boasts six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, but sources suggest she is ready to let it go as part of her long-term relocation plans. The actress has long hinted that living in Los Angeles was never her preference. In an earlier conversation with The Hollywood Reporter , she admitted she was based in the city only because of her divorce and custody arrangements with former husband Brad Pitt.
'I never wanted to live in L.A. full time,' she said. 'That humanity I found across the world is not what I grew up with here.'
Now that Jolie and Pitt's divorce was finalized in December, the actress is no longer tied to Los Angeles. She reportedly intends to move abroad once her youngest twins, Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next year. The former couple share six children in total. Jolie's potential move follows a growing trend of U.S. celebrities settling overseas. Jimmy Kimmel recently obtained Italian citizenship, while Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi relocated to the English countryside in the Cotswolds. Earlier this year, Rosie O'Donnell confirmed her move to Ireland, and actor Richard Gere announced plans to live in Spain.

On the professional front, Jolie is set to reunite with Doug Liman, the director of Mr. & Mrs. Smith . The two will collaborate on his upcoming spy thriller The Initiative , marking another exciting chapter in her career.

From Atoms to the Universe: Dr. R. Lakshmi Priya's Pachyderm Tales Redefines Learning for Children Across Continents
Revolutionary educational publishing initiative transforms storytelling into a global movement for inclusive and interactive learning Chennai, India – Picture this: a roomful of children who have never experienced interactive learning suddenly gasping in wonder at books that make science come alive through storytelling. Their fingers trace colorful pages while educators weave magic around each concept. This is not fantasy but the educational reality created by Dr. R. Lakshmi Priya, Founder of Pachyderm Tales, a global literature and arts foundation transforming education through narrative and creativity. Born during the isolated months of June 2020, Pachyderm Tales has since nurtured over 750 books across 14 languages*, reshaping the publishing landscape. What began as Dr. Priya's answer to the question, 'What happens after the creative spark ignites?', has grown into a movement making complex subjects—from atoms to the universe—accessible through storytelling, illustrations, and hands-on activities. STEAM Education with a Narrative Twist Dr. Priya's methodology bridges science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) with authentic storytelling and research. Each book combines accuracy with wonder, ensuring curiosity thrives alongside facts. Wildlife-focused works like the Ananth series bring children closer to nature with real photography, fostering both knowledge and empathy. Educational Equity: The Prakrati Project Her passion for inclusivity extends to underserved communities. Through the *Prakrati Project*, 100 STEAM-focused books will be distributed free of cost to tribal children in Pachamalai, Kollimalai, and Sathyamangalam. Launching on November 14 (Children's Day in India), this initiative underscores her commitment to reaching the most marginalized learners first. Global Reach and Cultural Inclusivity With books published in English, Tamil, Bengali, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Gujarati, Nepali, Bahasa Indonesia, and French**, Dr. Priya breaks linguistic barriers. Collaborations with universities in Indonesia, technology institutes in Bangkok, and workshops in Bhutan showcase the growing global footprint of Pachyderm Tales. Recognition and Future Vision Dr. Priya's impact has been acknowledged through honors such as the Sheminent Award 2025, Women Icon Award 2024, Yuva Shakti Award 2023, Best Brand Award, and the International Social Worker Award**. Yet, she views awards as milestones, not endpoints. Looking ahead, her vision includes building a global creative sanctuary for artists, expanding into OTT platforms, audiobooks, and forging partnerships with leading international publishers. 'Education must spark curiosity while honoring cultural roots,' says Dr. Priya. 'Our books don't just teach facts—they inspire children to fall in love with learning, to think creatively, and to grow into responsible global citizens." About Pachyderm Tales Founded in 2020 by Dr. R. Lakshmi Priya, Pachyderm Tales is a literature and arts foundation dedicated to revolutionizing education through storytelling. With over 750 titles published in 14 languages, the organization integrates STEAM education, cultural preservation, and social responsibility, ensuring quality educational resources reach learners worldwide, from urban classrooms to tribal villages.

Meta's AI voice translation hits global stage
Meta just unlocked a powerful tool for creators: AI-powered voice translation for Reels on Facebook and Instagram, now available globally (where Meta AI is active). Initially, it supports English ↔ Spanish, perfect for creators targeting bilingual or international audiences. The magic lies in the AI: it mimics your voice tone and even offers optional lip-syncing, so dubbed Reels look authentic, not robotic. Meta AI voice translation is here for the creators. Creators can toggle the 'Translate your voice with Meta AI' option before publishing their Reel, preview the dubbed version, then publish with the translated track in place. Viewers will see their preferred language version automatically, complete with a small AI-translation notice. Meta also added a handy metric in Insights, so creators can track views by language, helpful if you're breaking into new markets. Why it matters for creators; And what to watch This isn't just a feature; it's a bridge across language barriers. If you've never had subtitles, let alone voice dubs, it opens up direct emotional connection with new audiences without needing voice talent or external editing. For creators in multilingual regions or niche spaces, this lowers the barrier for global reach effectively. That said, it's still early days. The feature is rolling out to Facebook creators with at least 1,000 followers and all public Instagram accounts. So don't panic if you don't see it yet, it's just a matter of time. And while Meta says more languages are on the way, there's no roadmap yet, so English and Spanish remain the only supported options for now. Meta also quietly added another layer: Facebook creators can upload up to 20 custom dubbed audio tracks through the Business Suite, letting them reach beyond AI translation limits, though sans lip-sync Meta's AI translation isn't flawless, but it's a big step toward making global audiences part of your community. If you make Reels, flip on that toggle, preview the dub, and watch your reach grow. It's polished, simple, and just smart enough to change the game.
