Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh debuts new moniker after dropping dad's last name
Shiloh Jolie has entered a new era. The daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 19, appeared at the launch of Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter Thursday in Los Angeles — and she dropped a new moniker for the occasion. In a press release obtained by Page Six, Shiloh was credited as choreographer for an original dance number at the event — but she was listed as 'Shi Joli,' a moniker that pays homage to her famous mother while shortening her legal name. The dance featured dancers Tako Suzuki and Keoni Rose and was accompanied by singer Luella's performance of 'Naïve.' The event, described as an 'intimate sunset dinner,' was held at Schindler's Oliver House in the Los Angeles enclave of Silver Lake. A-listers including Milla Jovovich, Alison Brie, January Jones, Rachel Bilson, and more were in attendance at the soirée. Shiloh, who is frequently spotted heading to dance class in Los Angeles, famously requested to drop her father's last name on her 18th birthday in May 2024 — a change that was made official in August. After a judge signed off on the ruling, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt legally became Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. She was said to have done the legwork on her own — without involving the 'Eternals' actress. 'Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn't know and can't speak for it,' a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. In a July statement to Page Six, Shiloh's attorney Peter Levine said in part that the teen made 'an independent and significant decision following painful events' in dropping 'Pitt' from her last name. Shiloh isn't the only of her famous siblings to have dropped the name following their parents' split and bitter divorce, which was finalized in December 2024 after an eight year battle. When Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 20, declared herself at Alpha Kappa Alpha's sorority induction ceremony at Spelman College in 2023, she shouted, 'Zahara Marley Jolie' in video of the event that circulated via social media. Amid the famous actors' custody dispute in 2021, a source claimed to Us Weekly that their oldest child, Maddox, 'doesn't use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren't legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn't support.' Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, who wed in 2014, welcomed Shiloh on May 27, 2006, and her twin siblings Knox and Vivienne on July 12, 2008. Pitt officially adopted Jolie's adopted children Maddox, 23, and Zahara in 2005, and Pax, 21, in 2006. The 'F1' actor was said to have been 'aware and upset' when Shiloh legally dropped his last name. 'He's never felt more joy than when she was born,' an insider told People in June 2024. 'He always wanted a daughter.' 'The reminders that he's lost his children is, of course, not easy for Brad,' they continued. 'He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad.' In May, Pitt broke his silence on finalizing the high-profile divorce from Angelina. When asked by GQ if he experienced 'relief,' he said, 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally,' he told the outlet. Originally published as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh debuts new moniker after dropping dad's last name

Sports Illustrated star Salma Hayek welcomes 'very tangible change'
Salma Hayek is determined to embrace life "to the fullest". The 58-year-old actress has witnessed a "very tangible change" in attitudes in recent years, and Salma doesn't have any intention of slowing down. The brunette beauty told Sports Illustrated: "I feel so fortunate that I am part of a generation that has been able to really experience very tangible change. I could retire, but I don't want to miss out on this time." Salma appears on the cover of the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and the actress relished the experience of posing for the magazine. She shared: "I think it's really remarkable that a magazine like Sports Illustrated says that it's OK, maybe even cool, to be past 50 and still be able to feel not just sexy, but for me, to be free and not be self-conscious of your body like you have to hide. "I don't see why, after a certain age, we have to retract ourselves from embracing life to the fullest." Salma "didn't look like a model" during her younger years, and she never imagined appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. The 'Eternals' star - who is married to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault - said: "I remember when I was young, a long, long time ago, I was always excited to see the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, and [thinking] 'Who's going to be in it?' Of course, I didn't look like a model, so it never crossed my mind that one day I would be in it. "If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse, but the world has changed, and that's exciting." Meanwhile, MJ Day - the editor in chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit - has heaped praise on Salma, describing the actress as a "force of nature". MJ added: "As an actor, producer, philanthropist and champion for women, Salma is a beacon for Latinx communities, a tireless advocate and a person whose passion for art, life and humanity has few rivals. "Her why is rooted in her ability to inspire generations to come, by showing us all that living on your own terms is the ultimate power."

Marvel's 'Thunderbolt' storms box office with £60m debut – but but can the movie rescue a fading franchise?
Marvel's 'Thunderbolts' has tops box office but doubts linger over whether the movie has enough magic to inject new life into the franchise Marvel Studios' latest superhero entry 'Thunderbolts' has powered to the top of the US box office with a £60 million ($76 million) opening weekend – a solid start, but still short of the fireworks once expected from the comic book giant. The antihero team-up film, led by Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Sebastian Stan, kicked off the summer movie season by hitting No.1, studio estimates confirmed Sunday. But the numbers fall just shy of Marvel's blockbuster glory days. Fans and insiders alike had hoped 'Thunderbolts' would help return Marvel to form following a string of underwhelming releases. But its debut performance echoes 2021's 'Eternals' ($71 million) and 2018's 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' ($75 million), rather than mega-hits like 'Avengers: Endgame.' That said, the film has earned praise. Unlike recent Marvel outings, 'Thunderbolts' scored a strong 88% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned an impressive 'A-' from CinemaScore, indicating audiences are enjoying it. 'This is a great reset,' said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. 'They're hitting the reset with 'Thunderbolts.' The great reviews and the word-of-mouth should hold it (in) good stead.' Directed by Jake Schreier, the movie teases Marvel's next chapter with a nod to the upcoming 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' due out July 25. Marvel shelled out about $180 million to produce the film, which added another $86.1 million in overseas ticket sales. Still, competition at the box office proved tough. Ryan Coogler's vampire drama 'Sinners,' which had ruled cinemas for the past two weeks, pulled in another $33 million in its third weekend – just a 28% drop. The 1932-set thriller, starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as bootlegging brothers, has now grossed nearly $180 million domestically and over $236 million globally. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. claimed third spot with its hit 'A Minecraft Movie.' The video game adaptation brought in $13.7 million over the weekend and has now racked up £698 million ($873.4 million) worldwide. The studio even added 'Block Party Edition' screenings to keep the hype alive, complete with sing-alongs and 'meme-along' sessions for TikTok-hungry fans. One of the most talked-about releases was 'Rust,' which finally arrived in theatres more than three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was tragically killed on set. The Alec Baldwin western grossed around $25,000 across 115 cinemas, according to estimates, though no official box office figures were released. The film's release follows a legal saga: Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer, was sentenced to prison for involuntary manslaughter, while first assistant director David Halls received probation after a no-contest plea. Charges against Baldwin were dismissed twice, in 2023 and again in 2024. As part of a wrongful death settlement, Hutchins' husband Matt Hutchins became an executive producer on the film. Elsewhere, 'The Surfer,' starring Nicolas Cage, made a modest splash with £540,000 ($674,560) from 884 cinemas. Here's the full rundown of the weekend's Top 10 films at the North American box office: 'Thunderbolts' – $76 million 'Sinners' – $33 million 'A Minecraft Movie' – $13.7 million 'The Accountant 2' – $9.5 million 'Until Dawn' – $3.8 million 'The Amateur' – $1.8 million 'The King of Kings' – $1.7 million 'Warfare' – $1.3 million 'Hit: The Third Case' – $869,667 'The Surfer' – $674,560

‘Thunderbolts*' Review: Marvel's Superheroic Shrug
Bored, jaded, tired, out of gas and facing the Void. The script for 'Thunderbolts*' begs you to notice how its characters' internal doubts serve as allusions to the sorry state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So: refunds for everyone who bought a ticket to 'Eternals' or 'The Marvels'? A public apology for 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'? No, just more of the smug, self-referential humor that sounds like screenwriters saying, 'We know you all think we're running low on imagination. Now here's a movie about that!' The dramatis personae are a dismal phalanx of second-raters who correctly keep telling each other, and the audience, how lame they are. In an opening mass-slaying so perfunctory that director Jake Schreier might as well have simply put up a card reading 'Generic fight scene,' Black Widow's little sister Yelena (Florence Pugh) languidly narrates script directions: 'You shoot, I dodge.' She and her cohorts are practically yawning with ennui. Screenwriters Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo don't seem to grasp that yawns are contagious.
