Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie learn defence for film
Hollywood star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly been practising a form of Israeli self defence called Krav Maga as a part of preparation for their upcoming movie ‘By The Sea’. Pitt, 50, who has six children with his ‘Maleficent’ star wife, is believed to have lost more than 10 pounds after participating in the intense military-style exercise classes for just three weeks and is even letting his kids join in the fun, reported the Daily Mirror. “The whole family are learning the moves, even the little ones are doing modified kids’ moves but Brad has been doing it for 45 minutes a day and has dramatically lost weight and beefed up his muscles for the film,” a source said. While Pitt is new to Krav Maga, Jolie, 39, apparently started learning self defence to train for her ‘Tomb Raider’ role in 2001. ‘By The Sea’ has been written and directed by Jolie and will mark the first time the newlyweds have starred together on screen since they met on the set of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ in 2005.

Taylor Swift has not dated anyone since Harry Styles
Country singer Taylor Swift says she has been single since her split from One Direction star Harry Styles in January last year. Swift, who has written ballads about her break-ups, says she has no energy to be in love right now, reported Rolling Stone magazine. “I feel like watching my dating life has become a bit of national pastime. And I’m just not comfortable providing that kind of entertainment anymore,” said Swift. “I don’t like seeing slide shows of guys I’ve apparently dated. I don’t like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. I don’t like it when headlines read ‘Careful, Bro, She’ll Write a Song About You,’ because it trivializes my work. “And most of all. I don’t like how all these factors add up to build the pressure so high in a new relationship that it gets snuffed out before it even has a chance to start. And so I just don’t date,” she added. Swift, who recently released her new single ‘Shake it off’, says she is not even into casual dating. “I just think it’s pointless if you’re not in love. And I don’t have the energy to be in love right now. So no. “It’s not like I’ve sworn off love. My life is just not conducive to bringing other people into it right now. I’m very childlike and romantic about lots of things, but I’m realistic about this.” (PTI)
