Jolie reportedly amassed over 1.7 million followers in just one hour.<\/p>\n

The actress used her first post to draw attention to the plight of Afghans following the Taliban takeover of the country in the last week.<\/p>\n

<\/span>HUMANITARIAN CAUSE<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Salt star’s first post is captioned to explain that she received a letter from a girl in Afghanistan and the images show some of the letter.<\/p>\n

Jolie wrote: “This is a letter I was sent from a teenage girl in Afghanistan. Right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate on social media and to express themselves freely. <\/p>\n

“So I\u2019ve come on Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.”<\/p>\n

After three hours, the director had gained 2.1 million followers, according to OK!<\/a><\/p>\n

Aniston, 52, made her Instagram debut in October 2019 and shared a group photo with her Friends costars David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox.<\/p>\n

She captioned the iconic snap: “And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too, HI INSTAGRAM.”<\/p>\n

Following the post it was revealed that Aniston has set the record for the fastest time to reach one million followers, in five hours and 16 minutes.<\/p>\n

She followed some of her recent costars including Adam Sandler and Reese Witherspoon and also followed her ex-husband Justin Theroux who she’s still close with.<\/p>\n

Aniston was previously married to Jolie’s ex husband Brad Pitt, 57, from 2000 to 2005.<\/p>\n

She went on to marry Theroux in 2015 but they split in 2018.<\/p>\n

<\/span>JOLIE-PITT DIVORCE<\/span><\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Jolie’s divorce from Pitt is still dragging on, with “millions” having been spent on the split and nasty custody battle.<\/p>\n

And sources apparently believe the celebrities’ case is “far from over.”<\/p>\n

High-profile Los Angeles divorce attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan has represented celebrities including Kevin Federline, Charlie Sheen and Paula Abdul.<\/p>\n

Although he is not working on Brad and Angelina’s case, he told\u00a0Us Weekly<\/a>\u00a0he believes litegation has already cost the exes “hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not in the millions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark went on: \u201cAnd it could be more if they start over again. Nothing is more expensive than a hotly contested custody [dispute].<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sure both of these people can afford to [keep litigating], which is not the reason to do it, but that\u2019s probably not going to be a major factor for either of them given their respective wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, a California appeals court disqualified the private judge in Angelina and Brad’s divorce case.<\/p>\n

The 2nd District Court of Appeal sided with\u00a0Angelina\u00a0on the issue of Judge John W. Ouderkirk’s insufficient disclosure of his business relationships with Brad Pitt’s attorneys.<\/p>\n

This meant the custody fight over the couple’s five minor children, which was appeared to be coming to an end, may have to start over.<\/p>\n

The pair has\u00a0three biological children, twins Vivienne and Knox, 12, and Shiloh, 15, along with Maddox, Zahara, 16, and Pax, 17, who were adopted\u00a0from orphanages in Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam\u00a0respectively.<\/p>\n

Angelina and\u00a0Brad started dating in 2005 and\u00a0tied the knot in 2014 before splitting in 2016.<\/p>\n
