Angelina Jolie's ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller has pulled out of a gruelling 150 mile marathon across the Sahara desert.

The British actor was set to run the Marathon des Sables, a seven day straight sprint across desert, for UK charity Mencap.

Angelina Jolie has reportedly asked her lesbian lover to be godmother to her children - angering boyfriend Brad Pitt, according to Britain's Daily Star newspaper.

The actress allegedly wants Jenny Shimizu, who she had a relationship with while filming 'Foxfire' in 1993, to give spiritual guidance to her two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and her unborn baby with Pitt.

A judge in Los Angeles granted Angelina's request to change the children's last name to Jolie-Pitt. The attorney for the actress told reporters outside of the court, "The court granted the name change."
