Angelina Jolie"s Net Worth ★ Biography ★House ★ Cars ★ Income ★ Pets ★ Helicopter- 2016

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt seemingly shot down divorce rumors after they were spotted indulging in PDA in Los Angeles and spending family time with their twins in West Hollywoodrecently. Now a report by In Touch Weekly magazine said that the Hollywood couple has decided not to part ways after much speculation over their rumored marital troubles.

The magazines report, cited by Gossip Cop, said: Quality time with the kids helps Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie save their marriage.

This was a couple that was on the brink of divorce just a few weeks ago. But over the course of the week surrounding the Fourth of July, Brad and Angie fell back in love, a source told In Touch Weekly.

Even though Brad and Angelina have come to a place of great understanding, they still have a long way to go to overcome their many problems. Theyve taken a very positive step toward a future together and making their marriage better, but theres still a lot to work through, the insider added.

However, according to Gossip Cop, Jolie and Pitt never had any marital troubles to begin with. The rumor debunking website has previously quashed several reports that claimed the A-list couple is headed for a divorce.

Last week, Jolie and Pitt were spotted having family time as they celebrated twins Knox and Viviennes birthday during a low-key outing at a local cafe. A few days later, the couple was spotted getting intimate during an outing in Los Angeles recently. Pictures showed the couple indulging in PDA during a visit to Jamba Juice. Pitt wrapped his arms around Jolie from behind during the day out.

UFC 202 fight card primer: Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira


Exclusive Interactive 360° Experience: Diaz vs McGregor Faceoff - UFC 202 Weigh-In

Ethan Miller/Getty Images

UFC 202 features a big light heavyweight co-main event between Anthony Johnson and Glover Teixeira. All the details are here in our b****y Elbow primer.

We"ve got an important co-main event on tap tonight at UFC 202, as Anthony Johnson (21-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) takes on Glover Teixeira (25-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in a battle of two of the top light heavyweights in the sport. Both men are coming off vicious 1st round KOs in UFC on FOX main events, and are respectively #1 and #2 in the UFC"s official rankings (with Jon Jones pulled due to his USADA drug test failure).

This fight was originally the UFC on FOX 20 co-main event in Chicago before Rumble had to withdraw due to personal reasons. It turns out we only needed to wait a month for this highly anticipated matchup. UFC 202: Diaz vs. McGregor 2 airs live from Las Vegas this Saturday, August 20. The main card airs on PPV with a fight time of 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT, with the prelims starting at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m PT on Fox Sports 1, and 6:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. PT for the first three bouts on UFC Fight Pass.

How do these two stack up?

Johnson: 32 years old | 6"2" | 78" reachTeixeira: 36 years old | 6"2" | 76" reach

What have these two done recently?

Johnson: W - Ryan Bader (KO) | W - Jimi Manuwa (KO) | L - Daniel Cormier (SUB)Teixeira: W - Rashad Evans (KO) | W - Patrick Cummins (TKO) | W - Ovince Saint Preux (T. SUB)

Betting odds: (Via Bookmaker.eu)

Johnson: -195Teixeira: +167

How did these two get here?

Johnson has been fantastic at light heavyweight. After years of weight cutting mishaps at welterweight and middleweight, "Rumble" has only had one defeat in this weight class, and that"s against the current champion Daniel Cormier. His vaunted KO power has been on full display against other 205 lbs contenders, including a huge 1st round TKO of Alexander Gustafsson in Gustafsson"s home country of Sweden. Even in his submission loss to Cormier, Johnson knocked DC down in the first 30 seconds, which really shows you just how hard he hits. His last fight saw him dispatch Ryan Bader inside of 90 seconds with a ground-and-pound KO back in January.

Teixeira has also unsuccessfully challenged for the title, losing a one-sided unanimous decision to Jon Jones at UFC 172. A surprisingly lackluster defeat to Phil Davis at UFC 179 handed him his first ever two-fight losing streak. Since the two losses, Teixeira has looked spectacular, recording stoppages in all three of his fights during this winning run. He took a short notice bout against Rashad Evans in April, and walloped Evans with a left hook to destroy the former champion. Teixeira possesses high-level BJJ skills, as Ovince Saint Preux found out in August 2015, and Johnson is historically suspect on the ground. Unlike Rumble, Teixeira has never fought Daniel Cormier, and a win tonight would put him in prime position to get that matchup.

Why should you care?

This will be absolutely thrilling. You have two elite finishers going for a likely shot at the title, and it"s really one of the best (if not the best) light heavyweight fight you could make in the UFC that does NOT involve Jones or Cormier.

Chicago Air and Water Show ready for take-off


Stunt pilots prepare for Chicago Air and Water Show

CHICAGO (WLS) --

The 58th Annual Chicago Air and Water Show got off to a late start on the lakefront Saturday because of a weather delay.

The show was originally set to start at 10 a.m., but scattered storms moving through the area forced the delay until around 11:15 a.m. Free to the public, the official show takes place Saturday and Sunday on Lake Michigan from Fullerton to Oak Street. North Avenue Beach serves as the show"s center.

The show was originally scheduled to end at 3 p.m., but may be extended because of the delay. On Sunday, the show is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

People showed up early to North Avenue Beach prepared for the inclement weather with umbrellas and ponchos.

Organizers said that they have a great show planned and are prepared for the weather. The F-35, Sean Tucker, the U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights and the U.S. Navy Parachute Team Leap Frogs were among the participants on Saturday in an abbreviated show.

Former Bear Charles Tillman was scheduled to jump with the Golden Knights to start the show Saturday, but it was pushed back until Sunday because of the delay.

The Office of Emergency Management is on site for this weekend"s show to monitor the weather conditions and clear the beach when necessary. Air and Water Show Manager John Trick also keeps a close eye on the weather.

"We"re constantly monitoring the weather and we keep tabs on it," Trick said. "Several hours out, we know if it"s going to be a bad storm. We"ve got our emergency plan in place that we can evacuate the beach area."

A crowd of several hundred thousand people is expected this weekend.

"Public safety is number one in our books," said David Kennedy with the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. "We work with our first responders that are up and down the lakefront. We"ve got a public address system that is also able to reach people. We"ve got an alert system that we can update people if they signed up for that via text for via email."

Announcements will be made at North Avenue Beach for all weather delays.

On Friday, a practice run of the show gave people waiting below on North Avenue Beach a preview of some of the planes, jets, and tricks these pilots can pull off. Every year the air and water show tries to introduce something new to impress the crowd.

"The F-35 is new this year," said Trick. "That"s our new plane that"s making its debut around the country. We"re honored to have it at the Air and Water Show this year. It is probably the most high-tech plane that"s out in the air right now...stealth the armament, all of the advanced warning systems on it at air shows, it"s supposed to be the superior plane in the world right now," and this year is no different.

The Air Force Thunderbirds flew low over the crowd as they planned out this weekend"s runs. Also planned -- a tribute to the Army Golden Knights parachutist Master Sergeant Corey Hood, who died during a jump in last year"s show.

"They"re skilled, it was just a freak accident that happened and the men and women of the military, they put their lives at risk for everything, training shows or in warfare," said Trick.

Johnny James hasn"t missed an Air and Water Show in 40 years.

"It"s summer you better get out there and enjoy because winter"s right around the corner," he said.

Watch highlights from the Chicago Air and Water Show on ABC7 at 11 p.m. Sunday, hosted by Tracy Butler and Jerry Taft.

Lilly King: Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay, other U.S. dopers don"t belong in Olympics


2015 100m Champs, Tyson Gay Heat - Universal Sports

RIO DE JANEIRO - Swimming star Lilly King took her crusade against doping to a new level following her victory in the 100-meter breaststroke final, by insisting that American athletes previously banned for drug offenses should have been kicked off the United States team.

King relegated Russia"s Yulia Efimova, a confirmed drug cheat who was controversially reinstated into the Olympic program just hours before competition started last week, to the silver medal after a long war of words regarding whether her rival should have been allowed to swim.

When asked if U.S. athletes who have fallen foul of the drug testers, such as sprinters Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay, deserved to be in Rio, King, 19, pulled no punches.

"I have to respect (the track authorities") decision even if it is something I don"t necessarily agree with," King said. "No, do I think people who have been caught doping should be on the team? They shouldn"t. It is unfortunate we have to see that.

"It is just something that needs to be set in stone that this is what we are going to do. Let"s settle this and be done with it. There should not be any bouncing back and forwards."

Gatlin and Gay along with their fellow U.S. teammates were disqualifiedin the men"s 4x100 relay on Friday. The team says they will challenge the ruling.

Donald Trump"s campaign chair Paul Manafort just resigned


Donald Trump Campaign Chair Paul Manafort Resigns | MSNBC

Donald Trumps campaign chair Paul Manafort has officially resigned after trying to fix the campaign for two months.

Trump announced the news on Friday morning:

This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign. I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success.

As my colleague Andrew Prokop explained, Manafort originally came into the Trump campaign to try to bring discipline and professionalism after campaign manager Corey Lewandowskifailed to do either.

But the campaign continued to struggle under Manafort. At one point, Trump earned weeks of negative attention after suggesting that a federal judge should recuse himself from the Trump University case because of his Mexican heritage. And after the convention, Trump got into a bizarre feud with the family of a fallen Muslim veteran.

Meanwhile, Manafort himself has become a story because of his extensive ties to Russian interests. On August 14, the New York Timesreported on a ledger documenting $12.7 million in payments to Manafort from the party of Ukraine"s pro-Russian president at the time, Viktor Yanukovych. Coupled with Trumps weirdly pro-Russian leanings, that news raised a lot of eyebrows.

In Manafort"s place, Trump recently hired Steve Bannon, CEO of the ultra-conservative website Breitbart News, as the new "chief executive" of the campaign.

Bannon will face a huge challenge in trying to turn things around. Trumps campaign is wildly behind Hillary Clinton in the polls. It was not supposed to be this way: As Voxs election model shows, political science models suggests this was supposed to be a winning year for Republicans, but Trump is costing the party nearly 6 points a fatal gap for a presidential candidate.

Watch: This election isnt just Democrat vs. Republican. Its normal vs. abnormal.
