Movie star rests with children in between filming. Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie is spending this summer in Italy with her family.
In May, she began filming her next directorial project, Without Blood, a film adaptation of the book of the same name by Italian writer Alessandro Baricco, for which she acquired the rights in 2017.
Jolie adapted the novel herself and is producing the film with independent company Freemantle, with whom she has signed a three-year contract. The film stars Salma Hayek and Demian Bichir.
The film crew filmed the scenes in Puglia, and now they have moved to Rome, which, obviously, Jolie’s daughters are pleased about – you can’t imagine a better place than the Italian capital for shopping!
Reporters filmed the actress and her 17-year-old daughter Zahara during a shopping run.
47-year-old Angelina chose a flared white top with wide straps, white trousers made of thin linen, Louis Vuitton sandals, stylish sunglasses, and a voluminous black leather Yves Saint Laurent bag for a weekend walk.
Zahara also opted for a black and white gamut: a knitted crop top, a tight skirt with a high slit, and Converse sneakers.
On the same day, the paparazzi caught the lens of two other daughters of Jolie.
16-year-old Shiloh and 13-year-old Vivien walked around the Eternal City together, also not forgetting to look into the shops. The sisters’ outfits were based around short denim shorts:
Vivienne wore a black top and a plaid shirt, and Shiloh a white printed T-shirt, black hoodie, and favorite burgundy Vans.
In a previous post, 16-year-old Shiloh has chosen an energetic hobby: the daughter of star parents is dancing at the Millennium Dance Complex and succeeds in it.
The other day, the girl’s instructor, Hamilton Evans, shared a video on social networks in which Shilo dances in the company of other students to the song Lizzo – About Damn Time.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t just an expert on climate change, she also has a keen eye for strategic international politics.
On Thursday morning, the antigay lawmaker said the United States should stop supplying Ukraine with weapons and pull out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), effectively handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a win in his war on the eastern European nation.
“The American people do not want war with Russia,” Greene wrote on Twitter, “but NATO and our own foolish leaders are dragging us into one.”

She added: “A war that no one will win. Escalation over Ukraine, a non-member nation, risking nuclear war is a power play endangering the entire world. We should pull out of NATO.”
Once again, Greene is ignoring the fact that the Biden administration and NATO have repeatedly ruled out direct military involvement in Ukraine, opting to support the war effort by supplying much-needed weapons to fend off the Russians.

Baymax!, a new series of cartoon shorts that premiered Wednesday on Disney+, uses the beloved character of Baymax from the children’s movie Big Hero 6 to push the LGBTQUIA agenda. The animated series includes an episode in which two men have a crush on each other and decide to date.
In the episode, ‘Mbita,’ the main character of the same name is running a fish soup business when he discovers he has developed a fish allergy. This means he must sell a new food instead, but he’s afraid to try something different. Baymax (Scott Adsit) helps Mbita (Jaboukie Young-White) overcome his anxieties.
Mbita also has a crush on a man named Yukio (Brian Tee). At the end of the short, Mbita works up the courage to both seek out a new business and ask Yukio on a date.
Dialogue about Mbita overcoming his fears to try a new food hint at him also overcoming fears regarding his sexual desires.
“Fear is a natural emotion when dealing with change or unpredictable outcomes,” Baymax says.
“Well, natural or not, how do I get past this fear?” Mbita replies.
Ultimately, Mbita finds the courage to find a new type of food to sell. He also runs into his crush, Yukio, and asks him out.

What audience exactly is Baymax! targeting with this scene? Cute cartoon shorts on Disney+ generally appeal to very young audiences, yet the series is rated TV-PG which suggests the need for at least some parental guidance. The popular parental advisory site Common Sense Media rates the show for ages 5 and up.
On Tuesday, journalist Christopher Rufo leaked a scene from another Baymax! episode that includes transgender propaganda. That episode, ‘Sofia,’ involves Baymax buying feminine hygiene products for a 12-year-old girl. ‘Sofia’ includes a moment in which a male-appearing character wearing colors of the transgender flag tells Baymax that he uses maxi-pads with wings.
Since Baymax is a character liked by younger children, why does the series even include a rather detailed menstruation episode? That topic is usually geared to tween audiences.
Perhaps the targeted audience for Baymax! is meant to be deliberately confusing, enough to lure parents in with cartoon shorts about a lovable inflatable robot while letting their guard down.
Baymax! writer Cirocco Dunlap previously wrote for Netflix’s sexually-exploitative adult cartoon, Big Mouth.
The Walt Disney Company may control popular franchises and have a century long legacy it can use to draw in audiences, but it cannot rely on name recognition forever.
Parents don’t like walking on eggshells trying to figure out if their children can watch a show. If they don’t feel they can trust the once family-friendly company to provide age-appropriate content for their kids, they will eventually walk away.

An earlier tweet revealed he’d been watching the show P-Valley.
“Yea p valley lost me. They need a super gay advisory on movies like they got for everything else. Cuz That’s a lot to see if u not use to it,” he said. The particular episode featured two sex scenes between people of the same sex: one between two women and one between two men.

Many of Lil Duval’s followers were quick to echo his views, but many others clapped back against it. Others were just thrown by the comparison between gay men having sex and his mother having sex.
I’m gay and have never felt this level of aversion to seeing cis-het people have sex on film.
Seriously, why is it so much for y’all to deal with?
The need to say this discomfort out loud is giving hit dog hollering right now.

As the tweet went viral, Lil Duval felt moved to clarify that he (surprise, surprise) had no problem with the lesbian sex scene, because he was “use to it.” He said it was human nature to be shocked by something one is not used to.
And no the lesbian ain’t bother me cuz I’m use to it. That what y’all missing. It’s about what you’re USE TO! you’re always gon be shocked at something you’re not use to. That’s human nature. U can’t just throw something on somebody and be offended cuz they shocked

Lil Duval, 45, who heralds from Duval, Florida (hence his name), has been releasing music since 2014. He’s also a stand-up comedian and actor, with almost 1million followers on Twitter and 3.7million on Instagram.
P-Valley is set in and around a strip club in the fictional Mississippi town of Chucalissa. It premiered on Starz in 2020 and is now in its second season. In 2021, it was nominated by LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD for ‘Outstanding Drama’ in its annual media awards. It’s won an NAACP Award and has been nominated for several other honors.
The scene in question took place between the characters rising rapper Lil Murda (J. Alphonse Nicholson) and Big Teak (John Clarence Stewart), a friend who’s just been released from prison.
P-Valley co-executive producer and writer Patrik-Ian Polk was also involved in bringing the much-missed Noah’s Arc to the screen.
Polk reshared Duval’s tweet, advising him not to watch if he didn’t like it.
“As a writer and producer of P Valley, specifically a writer of this episode, I encourage you to step away from Chucalissa. This show is not for you. Go watch something else. Cuz the gay ain’t goin’ nowhere,” said Polk.

Polk later tweeted, “The reality is: a lot of these ‘straight’ men are triggered by these gay love scenes. Watching them brings up questions they have about their own sexuality. That ain’t got nothing to do with us or #PValley. Do the work; look inward!”

Chris Prattshocked the world when he came out and denied going to Hillsong church or being religious altogether after catching flak for going to an anti-LGBTQ establishment — but now, after spending years preaching about his faith, his words are coming back to bite him.
TheJurassic World actor, 43, claimed he’s “not a religious person” and called religion “oppressive as f—” in his latest interview with Men’s Health, despite hijacking several interviews and social media conversations throughout the years to talk about his church and faith.
Pratt famously defended his church in 2019 after the organization was accused of being “infamously anti-LGBTQ.” Over the years, he was quoted several times saying he went to Zoe Church in Los Angeles, a facility with strong Hillsong ties.
“I never went to Hillsong,” Pratt told Men’s Health, failing to mention Zoe’s connection to Hillsong. “I’ve never actually been to Hillsong. I don’t know anyone from that church,” he insisted.
FYI — Zoe Church’s pastor Chad Veach told The New York Times that he “modeled his church after Hillsong.” Hillsong’s ex-senior global pastor Brian Houston, the one who was charged with hiding his father’s sex crimes, said, “we are not a church that affirms a gay lifestyle.”
Here are some other comments made by Pratt about his faith that’s left fans scratching their heads after his confusing “not religious” interview.
In February of this year, the Guardians of the Galaxy actor posted a photo of a cross and added a caption that sure sounds religious. “Pray, rest, renew the spirit, cast down darkness, choose positivity and trust in the knowledge that you are so loved just the way you are. Not because you’re great. Not because I’m great. Because He is great. Like if you believe,” Pratt wrote just 18 weeks ago.
In February 2019 while appearing on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Pratt dished about a 21-day fast that he did “through his church.” In a separate sit-down, the star got deep about praying.
“Nothing fills my soul more than to think that maybe some kid watching that would say, ‘Hey! I’ve been thinking about that. I’ve been thinking about praying. Let me try that out,” he told the cameras.
When Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page, spoke up about Pratt’s church affiliation and its “anti-LGBTQ” stance, the Avengers actor didn’t hesitate to fiercely defend his house of worship.
“It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which ‘hates a certain group of people’ and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ.’ Nothing could be further from the truth,” Pratt wrote in 2019.
“I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone. Despite what the Bible says about divorce, my church community was there for me every stop of the way, never judging, just gracefully accompanying me on my walk,” he insisted. “They helped me tremendously offering love and support. It is what I have seen them do for others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.”
Fans can’t help but slam Pratt on the hypocrisy of his latest interview. “Chris Pratt: ‘I’m not religious, pffft, as if.’ Also, Chris Pratt: ‘So any way, this reminds me of when I was golfing with my pastor,’” one person tweeted.
“I don’t know if this is going to make sense to everyone, but it is so weird watching Chris Pratt go through the same process I went through from back in 2003 when I was balls deep in a Christian cult telling everyone “I’m not religious”. Its like a textbook response to criticism,” shared another.
“I think you meant “Chris Pratt’s PR firm is seeking to change perceptions about his religious views because it’s detrimental to his career,” posted a third.

The Biden administration provided further details on its strategy to address the increasing number of monkeypox cases within the U.S. and further clarified why much of the immediate response remains focused on men who are sexually active with other men.
During a call with LGBTQ press Wednesday, White House pandemic office head Dr. Raj Panjabi outlined a strategy focused on “testing, vaccines and outreach” in an effort to stem the growth of Monkeypox cases, which sits at 351 across 27 states and Washington, D.C. as of Wednesday according to CDC statistics.
The administration stated Tuesday that it plans to increase the number of doses of Jynneos, a newer monkeypox vaccine with fewer side effects administered in two shots four weeks apart, in the federal stockpile by 240,000 in the coming weeks, with another 750,000 expected over the summer. The Department of Health and Human Services provided 56,000 doses immediately, but clinics in hard-hit areas are already experiencing shortages. The single-dose smallpox vaccine ACAM2000 is more widely available and effective in vaccinating against moneypox, but it is typically associated with harsher side effects than Jynneos.
“Our approach is to respond as effectively as possible by sending the available supply of Jynneos vaccine to those communities and people that need it most urgently now as we continue to secure additional vaccine does of that product,” Dr. Panjabi said. “The goal of this initial phase of the vaccine strategy is to slow the spread of the disease.”
LGBTQ populations, specifically men that are sexually active with men, are currently being prioritized for vaccination as a large number of cases have been seen in those communities. The CDC modified its vaccine recommendation Tuesday, advising anyone with a sexual partner in the last 14 days who was diagnosed with monkeypox or had four or more sexual partners in an area with confirmed monkeypox cases in the last 14 days to receive the vaccine. Dr. Panjabi said that the Jynneos vaccine should be prioritized for immunocompromised individuals, including those with detectable HIV.
Monkeypox’s recent emergence in non-endemic areas and its close association with men engaging in same-sex sexual activities both by government officials and media outlets bear a resemblance to the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. But NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci stressed that the prioritization isn’t rooted in the same mistakes made at that time.
So in case you didn't know, there's actually no evidence that monkey pox is sexually transmitted- it's spread through skin to skin contact not bodily fluids- with that in mind please look at how that information is being relayed from the CDC pic.twitter.com/uPYxcxQEuj

“I’m not surprised that if the initial introduction into the gay community associated with various social functions that occurred a few months ago, that the beginning and the early part of it seems almost exclusively among men who have sex with men, but it is not a disease that will be essentially restricted to men who have sex with men,” Dr. Fauci said.
When asked about concerns over ascertainment bias influencing the focus on non-heterosexual men, Dr. Fauci said that it is “always something of a risk that we have to keep an eye on” despite his belief that it currently has no substantial influence.
In regards to ramping up testing for monkeypox, Dr. Panjabi stated that tests are being shipped to five major commercial medical testing labs in an effort to “increase testing, access and convenience in every community.” He pointed out that the time between symptom onset and test results has decreased by more than 30% since the beginning of the outbreak, and further expansion of testing should continue to shrink that time gap.
Dr. Panjabi stressed that community-based outreach was pivotal in understanding what affected communities need and disseminating educational information on the disease. He said that officials have been meeting with “a wide group of civil society or non-profit organizations that work across the coalition of LGBTQ community members” in addition to LGBTQ leaders in an effort to understand their needs and spread education on the issue.
Part of the outreach strategy is also focused on healthcare workers as its symptoms can be confused with herpes, syphilis and other sexually-transmitted infections. The World Health Organization is currently studying the virus to determine if it is able to infect individuals through sexual transmission after portions of the virus were found in semen samples earlier this month.
“You don’t want to panic people, but you want to get people to appreciate, particularly with the Pride activities that are going on now, to be aware and to just be careful,” said Dr. Fauci. “Being careful can be very practical; making sure that you’re aware of things like skin lesions or lesions around areas of the body, particularly when you’re having a sexual encounter … We do believe that, from a theoretical and practical standpoint, the risk is probably increased when you have activities associated with the prior Pride activities, because people tend to get involved in sexual networking there.”
Dr. Fauci reiterated the need for awareness when asked if Pride attendees should be concerned or afraid after hugging or being in close proximity to others during those celebrations. “You don’t want to be paralyzed by this. You just need to exert some care in the choice of people in which you have skin-to-skin personal contact,” he said. “You don’t want to all of a sudden shut yourself off from interaction, but just know that there is a virus there … have an exertion of a little bit more care.”
