ANGE SIGNS UP ‘SCANDAL’ BOSS
ANGELINA Jolie has hired the woman who inspired hit TV series Scandal to help with her divorce battle.
Last week the actress filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.
She has drafted in crisis manager Judy Smith to handle the highly-public split.
Smith was the inspiration for Kerry Washington’s character Olivia Pope in Scandal.
A source said: “Judy and her firm have a long history of handling issues that have unfortunately garnered too much attention in the public eye, and she knows how to push towards resolutions that are swift and discreet.”
Last night Brad and Angelina reached a custody deal which ruled she will have sole care of their six children for three weeks, insiders say.
Officials will look again at the arrangement when it runs out.
Angelina is seeking sole physical custody of the children while allowing Brad visitation rights, but he is said to be planning to fight for joint custody.
