WORLD SELEBRITIS

Billy Bob Thornton and family got some bad news today.

His estranged oldest daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was found guilty of the accidental death of her friend’s 1-year-old daughter, after claiming the girl died when she fell from her playpen.

Brumfield was originally charged with murder and child abuse.

The death was caused by a 1-inch fracture to the young girl’s skull and bleeding from the brain, but Brumfield maintained her defense that the child died by accident.

The jury agreed with her and found her guilty of manslaughter, a lesser crime, and accidental death instead.

Brumfield is expected back in an Orlando Florida court room in July to receive her sentence.

Billy Bob has not had contact with his oldest daughter for years. She was the child of Thornton and Melissa Lee Gatlin.

After Thornton and Gatlin divorced, Billy Bob married and divorced again before getting hitched to Hollywood A-list actress Angelina Jolie. That marriage ended in divorce also and Jolie went on to marry actor Brad Pitt.

Thornton is best known for his roles in The Informers, Mr. Woodcock, School for Scoundrels, Bad News Bears, Friday Night Lights, Bad Santa, Monster's Ball, Pushing Tin, Primary Colors, Sling Blade, Indecent Proposal, just to name a few.

The actor is currently filming the animated movie “Puss in Boots” due out later this year, and “The Baytown Disco”, a thriller about three redneck brothers who agree to help a woman save her son from an abusive father.

Thornton is also the lead singer of the band Boxmasters.

In what will become one of the biggest Hollywood splits of all time, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are calling it quits and have signed the papers on how to split their massive fortunes and children.

News outlets are reporting that Angelina and Brad started the breakup process in December when they visited a top divorce lawyer to begin working out how to split things up.

As of today, they will split their money equally and have shared custody of their six children. The kids however, will live with Jolie full time.

Since the couple is not married, the documents are reported to be more like a powerful prenuptial agreement - but for unmarried people.

There is no date penned yet on the documents, and it looks more like they are just getting everything ready for when they decide to officially split.

They have three adopted children - Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and Zahara, 5, and three biological kids Shiloh, 3, and 17- month-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Their joint fortune of about $350 million includes mansions in France, California and New Orleans.

Rumors have been circulating for months that the couple's relationship was doomed.

We suspect the $350 million is just the combined, joint income since the couple has been together - because we know Pitt is worth close to a billion dollars.

This could get very ugly.

After keeping such a low profile since the birth of her new twins, Angelina Jolie is rushing back into the Hollywood spotlight.

Reports had surfaced recently that Jolie was suffering from a bad case of depression after her birth, but the A-list actress was seen in public for a screening of her latest movie "The Changeling".

Angelina is also the cover story feature in "W" Magazine's November issue, complete with a cover picture of her breastfeeding on of her children.

Jolie is photographed breastfeeding one of the new twins, either Knox Leon or Vivienne Marcheline, who covers Angelina's left breast with its tiny hand. Brad Pitt took the photos while the two were recovering at the Chateau Miraval in the French Riviera, and is only one of many taken by Pitt.

Pitt and Jolie have already received $14 million dollars for the first baby pictures, and we're sure "W" is also paying handsomely. Besides Shiloh and the twins, Pitt and Jolie also are parents to three adopted children: Maddox, 7, from Cambodia; Pax, 4, from Vietnam; Zahara, 3, from Ethiopia.

Angelina Jolie can be seen later this month in the crime drama "The Changeling", where a mother's prayer for her kidnapped son to return home is answered, though it doesn't take long for her to suspect the boy who comes back is not hers.

Angelina Jolie was seen in public this week for the first time since media reports claim the actress is suffering from a bad case of postpartum depression.

Jolie was seen at a New York airport with Brad Pitt and their family of six, including the cute two-year-old Shiloh.

Jolie is getting ready for the premiere of her new movie "Changeling" next week, which will be her first public appearance since giving birth to Vivienne and Knox in July.

"Changeling" is directed by Clint Eastwood and stars Jolie and John Malkovich, and is the story of what happens when a mother's prayer for her kidnapped son to return home go answered, though it doesn't take long for her to suspect the boy who comes back is not hers.

Brad Pitt, 44, spent most of last month at the Venice Italy and Toronto Film Festivals promoting his new films "Burn After Reading" and "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button". Angelina stayed away from the public and media, instead spending her time isolated at the Chateau Miraval in Provence, France.

Last week the family moved their flock to the Palais Parkschloss villa, south of Berlin Germany, while Pitt works on scenes for his latest film "Inglorious Bastards", written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Last month, news reports surfaced that Angelina was suffering from depression following the birth of her twins. A report in one magazine claims Angelina feels that Brad has things easy - he had the kids without the pain of birth, and he can just pick up and travel around the world whenever he wants to.

The unmarried partners family now consist of three adopted children and three biological children - Maddox, 7; Vietnamese Pax Thien, 4; Ethiopian Zahara, 3; Shiloh Nouvel, 2; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10 weeks.

Even with already having six young children, Brad Pitt often speaks of his desire to have a 'sports team' sized family. Easy to say when you have hundreds of millions of dollars, and no womb.
