Part of me can’t believe that Renaissance Faires are still a thing, but here we are. It’s 2017, Donald Trump is president and RenFaires are still a thing. There was apparently a major Renaissance Faire happening in Southern California this past weekend. I would assume it involved all of the traditional RenFaire things – oversized turkey legs, costumes, jousting, perhaps even some horses. Angelina Jolie attended the RenFaire with Shiloh and a group of kids, according to TMZ:
Angelina Jolie got in some quality culture with her daughter over the weekend by going back in time to the Renaissance … in SoCal … with Brad Pitt nowhere in sight. Angie was seen Saturday with at least one of her kids — her daughter, Shiloh — at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire of Southern California in Irwindale.
Witnesses tell us there were other kids with Angie and Shiloh — unclear if they were siblings or just friends. We’re told Angie and the crew were flanked by a massive bodyguard who followed them around the event — can’t ever be too careful. Still, the people we spoke with say Angie seemed happy — smiling and talking to staffers and other costumed folk — while chomping down on what appears to be a turkey leg.
Imagine running into Angelina Jolie at a RenFaire. She must have been called “M’lady” about a million times. I hope she not only finished the enormous turkey leg, but also got herself Ye Olde Funnel Cake. As for What All This Means… I think it means that Shiloh is into RenFaires and Angelina is the kind of cool-mom who will take Shi and her friends to the RenFaire. I also think it means that Angelina’s focus continues to be her children.

I love Ren Faires! It’s a great place to relax and watch some good shows.
Somewhere out there Brad is in a national park, sipping on cranberry soda, up in every last one of his feelings as tears well in his eyes, screaming choice words at all those photos of Mama Jolie, laughing her sexy a$$ off as her kids surround her… I guess she received his subliminal GQ message and responded with a subtler “Go _____ yourself!”
Aaaah… I know, I’m a b*&^h!!! But it gives me sooo much satisfaction to imagine it.
😂🤣😂🤣
Was going to say the same! I love me some smoked turkey legs and jousting. 😉
I think Knox was also there. I am pretty sure the older boys are too cool for Ren Fairs…….
It looks like a lot of fun and I like her outfit.
No-one wears leather pants like miss Jolie! Most people look just silly and make me think of the FRIENDS episode where Ross tries to pull a pair off…
Also: Must. Have. Boots. Like. That! They make my queer heart jump.
Another black outfit. How original.
I can’t speak to her reason, but I will tell you that I (and many, many others) wear black all the time because 1) it’s easy, 2) it doesn’t show spills/stains as obviously (and when you’re food-clutzy like me, that matters) and 3) it matches with EVERYTHING.
so, while it may be boring or “unoriginal”, it’s practical and easy. she’s a busy woman with six kids (and now, no partner to help) so I’ll give her a break on what she wears to a (likely) dusty, messy-food-filled place.
She took Shiloh and Knox,who is standing next to Shiloh in TMZ pic
That’s her youngest son with her in the last photo. Super cute! She’s a cool lady. I like it! That leg of turkey orbwjatever looks disgusting though.
Oh, no, those are the best!
I wonder if that is one that use to be held in the San Bernardino area? I’ve been to that one at least twice, once as a kid and once as an adult. It’s a pretty big one and quite fun. I got me a cherry wood flute when I went as a kid, still have it too.
I think she mentioned in past interviews, she used to go with her mom to Renaissance fairs back in the day.
Yes, I remember that is how she got into knife collecting. It makes sense that she would want to take her kids to events that she enjoyed as a child, plenty of people do that. She probably spent the time reminiscing and sharing stories of their grandmother.
Awww.
Good for her, doing this kind of thing with her kids. She seems like a really in-tune mom.
Wow Knox really looks like his dad!
So does Shiloh at the moment. I say at the moment because sometimes she looks just like her mom.
Knox looks like Angelina, Vivienne looks like Brad and Shiloh is the perfect mix of Brad and Angelina. Jmo
Yes, Knox looks like Angelina.
Cute. Nice that she is sharing a meaningful childhood tradition with her little ones.
Love her boots and he entire outfit, really. She does look relatively exhausted, poor thing…..this has to be a really stressful and trying time for her.
Angie’s boots are AWESOME!!! Love her bag, too. Isn’t Shiloh turning 11 soon? Maybe it was a pre-birthday thing. Looks like they got a cool staff with snake on top. My son also loved going to Ren faires and playing dress-up with Medieval weapons, etc. when he was Shi’s age. Brings back memories. xx
Damn she looks cool in her black leather pants!
I hope the photographers left them alone for the most part so her kids could have fun without being harassed nonstop.
The photos look like they taken by people at the faire instead of photographers. Someone sold a pic to TMZ.
Good to see her out and about. I’m forever an Angie fan.
Angelina is a Great Mom. Angelina makes time for each one of her children by taking them to interesting events. She has been doing that since they were small. Some of the public is blaming her for his drinking problems which is stupid.
He is a man Child in Hollyweird.
Me too. I just think she is amazing. Hope she has a new movie project coming up.
@Sera He starting a new project in the middle of July. Angelina has her promotions for FTKMF and teaching in London of Economic this fall.
Me too!
Something about the Descriptor of Jolie with a Turkey Leg Made me Scoff Like what In the Preposterous write up.. But then I scroll down and there is Angelina Jolie With a F*cking Turkey Leg!!! LOLOOLOOL How Delightful
SO so funny. This is my favorite thing on celebitchy today. ANGIE AND THE LEG. THE TURKEY LEG. hahahahah.
Sorry to interrupt your fun but I suspect she was holding it for Shiloh or Knox.
@ Fresh Good observation.
I love Ren Fairs!! They have it here in deerfield beach, florida every year with multiple themes its awesome and always packed
I had to google what a funnel cake was and I don’t think I have it clear yet… they’re like doughnut bits?
It’s basically fried dough, a big pile of it, with sugar glaze on top. But fried dough normally comes in a flattish slab, resembling a thick misshapen pancake. With funnel cake, the batter is drizzled into hot oil through a funnel, in a winding circular pattern, forming strands that all stick together. It’s very crisp outside, chewy inside, sweet, greasy and delicious.
Yes and no. It is batter (something like pancake batter) that you put into a squeeze bottle and then squeeze the batter directly into hot oil. The batter comes out of the bottle in thin strands and you can swirl the batter into the oil. It fries up pretty quickly. After you take it out of the hot oil it should resemble something like a flat bird’s nest. You can then put cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, fruit, or whatever sweet topping you want on top.
Sounds like a heart attack of delicious. Yum.
it’s essentially batter that is deep fried, but it’s swirled around as it’s poured into the fryer so you get all sorts of squiggley lines of dough. then it’s usually topped with sprinkled confectioners sugar.
so, fried dough with sugar. but YUMMY. and nowadays, they usually sell fried oreos at the same booth. oreos, dipped in batter, then fried and sprinkled.
the oreos get all soft in the dough so they’re cake-like. I highly recommend them if you’re ever offered.
Y’all had me at deep-fried.
I’ve never liked them even when I was a kid, but most people love them.
@everyone – thanks for the explanation of what funnel cake is! They sound like jalebis to me, only where jalebis are basically fried sugar syrup, these are fried batter – even better, in my book.
Nooo call them doughboys -ugh funnel cake is the worst description ever.
I think I’d literally pass out were I to see her just out & about in person,good seeing her enjoying herself & smiling with her kids…That of her with those fab boots reminded me of her Lara Croft days…
Who called the paps?
No one called the paps, the pics are from instagram , she was spotted by fans who took pics and posted them on instagram. Someone clearly sold the story to tmz, who couldn’t even get their facts straight, because Knox was there & I saw no evidence of a group of kids there either in any of the other pics. Plus their stupid sans-Brad Pitt headline, why would she be hanging out with him? they’re getting divorced. I’m not saying they couldn’t hang out if they wanted (we all know they don’t) but tmz acting like his absence was a mystery was ridiculous, as is everything tmz does..
Funny thing is, People Magazine also copied the TMZ story and wrote that Angelina was there with Shiloh, no mention of Knox.
Copy and paste – this is how it works nowadays.
But don´t you know that a woman´s life is only worth living if it is at a man´s side 24/7?
*side eye @ misogyny*
Seriously – not at all newsworthy that she is not with Brad! I love Ren fairs it’s so much fun dressing the part!
Kudos to the Daily Mail for their coverage of this “story”. Brad fessed up, no question. Angie is a great mom, everyone is moving on. It’s a relief.
So she’s doing what about 2 out of 3 moms in America has done. Taken their kids to a Renaissance Fair/carnival type kiddie event. Wonderful.
I dont think you quite understand how hero worship works. Very normal things that millions do with their kids are noteworthy when done by this specific indiviidual.
If you don’t want to read about celebs get off this celebrity site.There are thousands of mommy sites with pics of non celeb moms doing normal stuff.
I find it funny when I see such comments considering all the hate Angelina gets everywhere else on the Internet. Some people complain about the few sites that don’t vilify her for breathing. Earlier I was talking to a friend who knows nothing/ has no interest in gossip & she had good thinks to say about Angelina. For all the hate she gets, I wonder what their favorites are doing to make this world a better one in whatever small way.
Do we have an id on her sunglasses? Me want.
I want the motorcycle boots!!
No she doesn’t, she looks fine. We will see pics of her next week where she’ll look bigger. It depends on what she’s wearing, I’m not saying she’s not thin, but she doesn’t look Ill. I don’t understand the thin shaming where Angelina is concerned, she’s thin that’s it, are there times when she’s thinner than others yes. But generally I find her an acceptable thin, there are times when she verges on the scary side of thin of course, like the kung-fu panda promo last year or filming FTKMF- but she was actually ill then. It’s like the National Enqurer with the constant headlines about how she’s close to death. There are times when she looks frail and sickly yes, this is not one of them. But even if she was frail can you blame her.
Okay I swear there were comments here just now saying she looks Ill & now they’re gone.
Yeah, she’s always been thin. I think she has the body type where you have thin legs and arms and gain weight in the torso. Weight in the torso is easier to hide, so she will always look slimmer than someone like me, who gain all over
Actually I was just thinking she’s lost weight, but maybe it’s just her outfit, since she’s been wearing loose fitting skirts/dresses for a while. She wasn’t this thin early in her career. I think she likes them cheekbones and facial definition to be really prominent. She looks like a different person in the face when she’s got a a bit more meat on her.
So happy she’s not throwing a pity party like her sorry ex. She looks happy. She’s been looking happier than ever since she dumped him- must be a relief to not have to deal with his drunkness anymore 😂
We now need a meme of her in The Leg dress with a turkey leg
😀
lol. hopefully the turkey leg AS the leg.
Awesome.
I want to preface this with I think Angie is probably a great mom too, however just because we see pictures of her taking her kids to a Renfest or other events doesn’t make her a good mom. Aside from the fact that these are just pictures and no one really knows their family life, this would make her the cool mom that and the fact that she is drop dead gorgeous doing it. Whose kidding we all aspire to look that good holding an ugly turkey leg at a renfest with our kids instead of the way I usually look harried and making sure I don’t lose a kid, or if I do it’s one I want to lose. It’s funny how definitive some people are about what they believe when they know very little about it. I mean years ago Joan Crawford’s kids were thought of as happy and adorable and then they write the epic Mommy Dearest tale book. Who wants to bet which famous celebrity kid writes the tell all and it is totally different than what people believed at the time. I think the easy bet would be Suri Cruise, but I think people expect that one. I am sure some on here would say these kids and Brad, but I don’t think they would. Now if as someone wrote this was a f*)( you to Brad for some shade in the GQ interview, then that would be some pretty bad parenting too. I choose not to believe she would do that. Still nice picture fun outing, hope they had as great a time as they look in the pictures.
@Noway At least Angelina does not whine or wants the public to show pity towards her. Angelina tough lady and a Good Woman who picks herself up and takes care of her children.
I don’t recall Brad whining or asking for pity. If he acts sad and looks sad it’s probably because he is sad. Just as Jolie was sad when asked about the divorce in Cambodia. I did not care for the GQ photo shoot myself but the interview was open and honest enough.
@Lady T I pay attention to his actions not his words. Those words are nothing unless you take action to correct your bad behavior. I will be paying attention to his actions not his words in the future.
Me too. I’m happy to cheer for anyone trying to get sober.
Bap, you’re so right. Read his past interviews where he claims he gave up alcohol or cigarettes and that he’s a great daddy. 🙄 This latest interview was very whiny and me me me !!!
Brad is probably more like Joan Crawford, ‘I do not know why they always want to compare Angelina to Joan Crawford.’ Angelina never cared about making great movies with great directors, great actors, she did not even care about it. She’s always connected to real-life people besides Hollywood. Brad has never left that Hollywood system that really spoils relationships between family, he who has not given affection, attention to his children, who abandoned his children because of his works. He can not connect with his own family. And he prefers to spend time and devote himself to movies, art, friends, drinks than take on his father’s responsibility.
And just look at the older photos, Brad always hugging, kissing and playing with his children some time ago he disappeared from the lives of his children, he seemed to be present only in the body …. did not seem to struggle to interact with the children
Chicken legs eating a turkey leg. LOL, oh, pipe down, I’m just teasing. 😉 LOVE those boots; very Lara Croft (aka cool).
I have a pair similar. Cole H. so obviously not as cool as these. I need to break them out again.
I hope her old style comes back in full force and these boots are the beginning of it! Boots, jeans and a t-shirt with a leather jacket is her best style!
Agreed. She always seems super phony when trying to look emotional and touching, for instance that awkward photo with her head on Louis Zamperiini’s shoulder. And her facial expression when knowing the camera is on her amid refugees. I dunno; just comes off as phony. Girl, just be yourself! Bad-ass Angie is the best Angie.
So now she’s phoney for having emotions while working with refugees. Angelina has been consistent for the last 16 years in that area of her life. Also accusing her of being phoney with a man she greatly connected to and loved. So people aren’t allowed to grow and evolve & should always be the “bad girls” they were in their 20 ‘s or else they’re really phoney- okay that makes sense. You people need to stop, there’s stuff to criticise Angelina for, looking emotional while in certain situations is not one of them you sound like those people who accuse her of being fake while speaking about her mother.
Ren-NAY-saunce is the only way to pronounce it.
The twins and Shiloh look way more Voight than Pitt.
Vivienne is Brad. From the shape of her head, nose and smile. Knox looks like Angelina with Brad’s eyes.
LOL…. team Brad can’t stop…..GQ just stop….

Meet Brad Pitt’s Secret Weapon
http://www.gq.com/story/meet-brad-pitts-secret-weapon
And there are still people who complained about Angelina’s relationship with the two English women.
Brad has this adult babysitter always with him , who prefers to take care of him than of her own life. What a strange relationship, it becomes creepy. At least Angelina relates to intelligent people and other professions. Nothing more obsessive than being so connected with someone who takes care of his appearance. Brad is becoming more and more cliche and becoming everything he wanted to avoid. I think he was close to dying like these artists, drugged, drunk who exaggerate and end their life
I think the new GQ article is in response to that brilliant take down in The Guardian. Apparently team pitt has no sense of humor.
How clean-cut was he back then! Seriously the boozing is horrible. I think it’s not just his PR team. He’s got a commercial contract with Netflix and upcoming film productions and has an obligation to repair his image. On the other hand I’m not too sure Angelina has the same stuff happening in her career.
Come back in a few months when Angelina’s filming her movie, or did she put it on hold for pitts lame film. He’s had 3 bombs in a row that no one acknowledges lmao
People don’t really care about him or his films these days days unless he’s pretending to produce them
Ah, because Pitt was tangled in many contracts he reacted rather passively when Jolie called the authorities on him and split from him “for the sake of the family”.
Funny how they say we’ve never heard of Jean black. She gave an interview about how Angelina gave him wings to fly lmao . That was a joke too. Her child is good friends with Angelina’s kids.
His friend provided a positive story to GQ about him as he continues to repair his image and promote his movie. What’s wrong with that?
That was a nice interview. He’s loyal and a good friend. No one has any negative stories about Brad after 30 years in the movie industry.
Angelina should get the credit for holding her family together, she took the action to make sure everyone got the help they needed to become mentally healthy and she stood steadfast in doing so.
Angelina has demonstrated great courage in dealing with all this mess and his need to protect his image more than his family from public scrutiny.
Not too sure leaking to the rags was actually necessary to get BP to go to rehab. Filing for divorce prob enough.
The only leaking came from Pitt.
@ Intel
My thoughts exactly. Jolie’s way of handling Brad Pitt caused a split and a rift which will be difficult to heal.
YepIsaidit- That is blatantly false. Jolie said and did numerous things that were inflammatory and unnecessary.
She said nothing inflammatory or unnecessary. As we now know after all these months he still doesn’t have custody so something bad happened. Why would she take blame for what he did? After her first statement (which btw Angelina wanted to be a joint statement) Pitt went on a smear campaign against the mother of his children and allowed his team to throw his son under the bus.
Pitts fans are mad because he got exposed.
Not a Pitt fan—I just don’t happen to worship Jolie. It’s not quite so black and white to some of us with a smidgeon of objectivity.
LadyT’s right. And I’m not a BP or AJ fan. They’re both pathetic with their leaks and poor parenting (Brad Pitt as absent, drunk, and probably semi-abusive father and AJ with her kid-featuring pap strolls). Nothing nice about acrimoniously divorcing so publicly and the kids should have been the key concern. Pitt’s team at least called her out for exposing their kids to even more media attention by having it all play out in public with endless leaks last year. But of course Papa Pitt happily participated in kid-featuring pap strolls for years.
Should have just divorced quietly.
ladyT they both said some stuff and I don’t think Angie said anything inflammatory tough and a bit unnecessary but I understand her stance. You had every news article and tv entertainment show plus the public slamming her and calling her a liar. As if Pitt could never do anything to cause harm to his kids or family. And he has yet to tell what happened on the plane and probably never will.
As per Pitt she didn’t lie that he was abusing substances and alcohol but yet to admit to slapping the heck out of Mad and saying God knows what. You can believe it was all a little stir up if you want. Angelina had made up her mind weeks before because of the early rental and I guess the plane incident pushed her on out the door faster. I find him to be a liar because he blames DCFS for ripping his family apart when it seems it was gonna be over anyways. Then if his sources are to be believed he even asked her to wait until the Allied press was over. She may ave until he pissed her tf off on that plane. Yall can miss me with the BS today.
I didn’t defend Brad in any way, shape or form. I’m choking on the words you’re putting in my mouth. I said Jolie could have handled some things better in response to Yep. For example- I can not think of a single good reason to have not sealed all the court docs from the very beginning. It took her til Jan to agree.
LadyT, why seal it ? So that Brad could come out looking like the good guy and people could think it was her being investigated? So happy she didn’t seal it or people would’ve dragged her far worse than they did. They would have assumed cps was after her. Lmao
Brad Pitt could’ve asked to seal earlier on too but didn’t until the truth started leaking out about him through lawyers emails. You know he doesn’t care about their privacy because all of the leaks from his team and even now he is giving TMI interviews about cps and how he treated his children. If he truly wanted privacy why talk about your kids or cps at all? 🙄
Why seal it? To protect the children from worldwide scrutiny. By your own words she chose to protect herself and expose Brad instead.
Brad requested it be sealed from the very beginning for the children’s sake, even went to court in a failed attempt to force her. I agree he would have also benefited. Regardless and more importantly it would have been best for the kids. But Jolie refused for 4 full months.
Pitt has clearly screwed up through no fault but his own but Jolie is not perfect. That’s where we can’t agree.
But Lady T you’re not objective, you’re here daily accusing Angelina of alienation , punishing behavior and just defend Pitt on every thread- don’t understand why you don’t just own that, it’s okay. Earlier you flat out lied about the sealing of the documents, Pitt only tried sealing them after he got exposed when Jolie filed the custody agreement, she didn’t refuse for 4 months like you said. And she agreed to seal the documents in December, after he made the request in December not the months and months you claim. If he’s so concerned about his kids privacy , then why is he constantly leaking stories till now. He did it to protect his image, it had nothing to do with the kids privacy, he was more than happy to throw Maddox under the bus and suddenly cared about privacy when he got exposed. Spare me.
Thank you, keely. You said it all really.
LadyT Angelina isn’t perfect. We can agree on that but she never tries to act like she is… Unlike Americas male sweetheart Pitt.
The Ren Fair in Southern California is 7 weekends long and has been going on since the early 70’s. I worked as an alewench for 10 years and it’s very popular.
Which site did you work at? I worked in Agoura for years…oh, and the original Renaissance Pleasure Faires actually started in 1963!
Aw, it’s renaissance fair season here in Texas too! I’ve gone every year since I moved to this area in 2007. It’s so much fun. We take the kids now too. All about the turkey legs and funnel cake, interesting shopping, fun shows, costumes, jousting. The people watching is the best. It’s funny to see celebrities do such everyday things. Makes me like Angelina a bit more for braving the ren fair crowd!
4th pic
To me this looks as if Jolie dabbled in facial fillers. Her body is as pin-thin as ever but her face is plumper to the point of being less defined.
It’s obvious she is messing with her face.
Too bad, all she needs to do is gain weight.
The only fake person in that relationship is Brad.
Some media outlets are trying to infer that Angelina is worried that Brad has new love or that Angelina maybe made a mistake and once to comes back to him. Their trying to show a weak Angelina, Please She has not made but one statement I left for the health of my family, and she filed for divorce.
Angelina has Not whined or complained about how unfair the some of the media and public has treated her.
That will forever be the narrative. But they should be careful leaking all that dating stuff until their divorce is final.
Give Brad Pitt a break
http://www.khaleejtimes.com/citytimes/hollywood/give-brad-pitt-a-break
Not even when they try to defend the interview and mainly the photos of GQ, it does not look good for Brad …. He really must be totally out of control of his life and clearly who is near him does not know what to do.
This is good
What Brad Pitt Could Learn From Prince Harry About Life’s Tragedies
Sometimes, celebrities are open and vulnerable to a fault. GQ Magazine’s recent interview with Brad Pitt definitely falls into that category.
https://thefederalist.com/2017/05/09/brad-pitt-learn-prince-harry-lifes-tragedies/
Jilly, very good post, I agree. Pitt is like Joan Crawford that’s why I call him daddy dearest. What a phony and fake he is- and talk about face fillers… He needs them now. His face is falling after years of Botox you can’t just stop and I think that’s why he has droopy eyes right now. He needs that Botox lift.
When Angelina is photograhed the headlines reads she is looking skinny. When Pitt is photograhed he is described as looking super slim. HYPOCRITES.
I believe gaunt is the word frequently used about Brad these days.
Well, the tabs said he was gaunt, but he looks hot af in the new photos posted on JJ!
He is an overrated prodcuer and movie star.
He should be able to some gain weight, he does Not have full tme responsibility of taking care of 6 children.
He looks old and tired. There is nothing hot af about Brad anymore. But to each his own. Ha.
I guess he can’t let Angie one up him he had to get out for his pap stroll.
No, he’s not trying to one up her. He is promoting his Netflix movie.
Angelina will be seen a lot more during the promotion for her Netflix movie.🤓
And, he’s looking good. You know it😍
Angelina looking mighty fine.
He got exposed and now hei s trying to clean up his so call perfect image.
All the money he is paying his legal team, agens, fixer, pr people and friends he should be clean as a whistle by now.
Bap wasn’t there several occasions the police went out to their home. I remember one that said they weren’t home. But if your alarm goes off they are gonna all and see if you are o.k.
THe other time they were home.
