Brangelina's Reunion With Jon Voight

Brangelina along with their family, were spotted walking through Venice on Sunday with Jon Voight. The bunch took a trip through the Italian city, since Jolie is about to start filming The Tourist.

Voight, who is Jolie's estranged father, has not been reunited with his daughter for a long time. Their relationship has been on the rocks since 2002. According to E Online, the 71-year-old actor said in an interview that Angelina had "serious mental problems" and was "trying to reach her to get help." His daughter was disheartened by these statements.

However, in 2007 she was looking for a reconciliation with her father. Although they did reunite late last year, this is the first time in awhile that they have been seen in public together.

Actress upset about his support of John McCain in US election battle

Angelina Jolie is said to have turned her back on her father Jon Voight after he publicly backed John McCain to be the next US president.

The actress and partner Brad Pitt, 44, supported Barack Obama, 47, who won the election earlier this month.

Angelina, 33, is also thought to have been upset that Jon spoke so highly of Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, 44.

‘She was embarrassed by her father’s association with McCain, not to mention his comments about Sarah Palin, who she isn’t a fan of,’ a source tells the Daily Express.

'Things are fragile between them and it doesn’t take much to rock the boat. Their political differences haven’t helped things.’

Angelina and Jon, 69, have had a strained relationship ever since he split from her mother Marcheline Bertrand when she was just a year old.

Jon Voight branded Roseanne Barr as 'evil'


Proud father ... Jon with Angelina


JON VOIGHT has branded ROSEANNE BARR as "evil" for launching a vicious attack on his daughter ANGELINA JOLIE and her hubby BRAD PITT.

Roseanne posted a bitter tirade against the Hollywood couple on her website, accusing them of donating money to charity for the sole purpose of building themselves a reputation as heroes of humanitarian causes.

The sitcom queen also slated the pair for only splashing out a tiny percentage of their multi-million dollar earnings, hinting they should be parting with a great deal more to better the lives of those less fortunate.

Now veteran actor Jon has hit back, insisting Roseanne can’t be taken seriously after she was exposed as a “psychopathic liar” for allegedly telling tales about her childhood.

He ranted: “We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents.

"Roseanne’s parents responded to the accusation by going on air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.”

Jon also pointed to the occasion Roseanne sparked outrage with her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before a 1990 baseball game in San Diego, during which she screeched throughout the tune before grabbing her crotch and spitting.

He added: “That gave us an insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing.”

The Midnight Cowboy legend is also enraged at the comedienne for ridiculing Angelina’s indecision over which presidential candidate to endorse ahead of the US election.

Roseanne wrote on her blog page: “Miss Jolie says she likes John McCain too and hasn’t decided who to endorse... huh?

“Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Ronald Reagan?”

She proceeded to call Angelina and her hubby Brad “evil” for “trying to look as if they give a c**p about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more”.

Jon Voight: Angelina Jolie Didn’t Play With Dolls



Angelina Jolie may love to play house as an adult, but as a kid, she wasn’t even into dolls.

“You know,” estranged father Jon Voight told Fox & Friends Thursday, “she wasn’t the kind that played with dolls.”

The 69-year-old actor added, “And then all of the sudden, she has all of these children.”

Although Voight admits it surprised him she became the mother of six children, he admits, “She loves kids though. She’s very playful. It’s wonderful.”

As for his daughter and dad Brad Pitt, he said, “They’re healthy and they’re doing well and I’m so happy.”

Voight added, “And of course the parents are really happy and over the moon. It’s a wonderful time.”

Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne earlier this month. They are the fifth and sixth children for the couple, joining Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.
