Angelina Jolie Has Chickenpox, Cancels Upcoming 'Unbroken' Appearances

What a way to top off a crummy week.After getting dragged into the Sony hacking scandal and being shut out of the Golden Globes, Angelina Jolie has come down with chickenpox. The actress-director has been forced to cancel upcoming promotional appearances for her film Unbroken.
"I just wanted to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the Unbroken events in the next few days, which is I found out last night I have chickenpox," Jolie, 39, states in a YouTube video posted by Universal Pictures. "So, I will be home, itching and missing everyone and I can't believe it because this film means so much to me. I just can't believe it. But such is life, there it is and send everyone my love and hope everything goes well."
Universal also confirmed that Angelina will be withdrawing from events, including the film's Monday premiere.



“You have to laugh at the timing,” Jolie commented in a statement released by the studio. “I was sure nothing could stop me from supporting Unbroken. I am heartbroken to miss our premiere, most of all the chance to be there with Louis [Zamperini, the film's main subject]'s family; Phil [Phillips, one of Louis's fellow airmen]'s daughter, Karen; veterans; and all the guests who are coming.”

The studio added: “We all wish Angelina a speedy recovery and look forward to her returning to her work very soon. She is in very good spirits, considering after two years of hard work, she will not be there the night it finally premieres.”Mr. Jolie, aka Brad Pitt, will attend in her place. His family has also flown in for the occasion, and "are all looking forward to seeing the film," according to Universal.
Here's hoping Angelina wasn't contagious when she stepped out for the Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast on Wednesday. That would be quite the room to infect, although judging from Jolie's look in the photo, she might not mind passing along the virus to Amy Pascal.
Pascal, the co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment, was exposed in a nasty email chain with producer Scott Rudin as part of the ongoing Sony hack. The latter referred to the Oscar-winning actress as a "minimally talented spoiled brat."
Nothing like some quarantined time to plot a sweet revenge! We kid. But really, with six children, it's amazing Angie escaped the pox for so long.

To the rescue! Brad Pitt stepped in for Angelina Jolie at the Los Angeles premiere of Unbroken on Monday, Dec. 15, and brought with him their eldest kids Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, and Shiloh, 8.
Pitt and Jolie's kids were all dressed up for their mom's big night, wearing matching black suits and looking all grown up. Pitt, who also filled in for his wife earlier in the day at the Unbroken Roger Deakins Image Exhibition, opted for an all-black ensemble as well.
In an interview with E! News, Jolie, who is suffering from chickenpox, said she'd allow her kids to see the film despite it's mature World War II focus. 
"It's PG-13," Jolie told E! during a sit-down interview. "My boys — one is 13, one is 11 but he's a mature 11 — will see it, but I think I might actually show my younger children. I think they could handle it because they understand film," she explained. "They know the difference of what is real and what isn't, because it's heavy for [kids] under 13. But they all knew Louis [Zamperini]. They want to see it because it's Louis."
The Oscar winner, who directed the flick which revolves around the late war hero, revealed to fans she'd be missing the premiere due to chickenpox.
"I just want to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the Unbroken events in the next few days," she said in the clip posted to Facebook. "I found out last night that I have chickenpox. I will be home, itching and missing everyone. I can't believe it cause this film means so much to me… I just can't believe it, but such is life. There it is."
At the premiere, Pitt posed with Olympians Jolie had invited including Lolo Jones, Nadia Comaneci, Bart Conner, Jessica Hardy, Dominik Meichtry, and Jason Collins.
