Brad Pitt sues Angelina Jolie for selling her stake in French estate to Russian oligarch

FORMER Hollyoaks star Paul Danan has claimed Angelina Jolie kissed him at an afterparty for her film Gone in 60 Seconds. The 43-year-old attended the star-studded film premiere in London in July 2000 at the height of his fame playing Sol Patrick on the Channel 4 soap. At the time, the Oscar winner was accompanied to the cinematic event with her then husband Billy Bob Thornton.

Brad Pitt might have a fighting chance in court over claims that his estranged wife Angelina Jolie offloaded her stake in their 1,000-acre Château Miraval estate behind his back, without giving him the first crack at purchasing her portion of the lavish $164 million French estate, according to one legal expert. Last Friday, Pitt sued Jolie over the sale, claiming that after the former pair purchased the property back in 2008, they agreed to never sell their respective interests without the other's consent.  Now, in a complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, the actor says the palatial abode was an investment buy "as a home to share with their children and the vineyard as a family business" and alleges that Jolie rushed to sell without his authorization.
