IT has been almost three years since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt – and it could be another three till it finally goes through.
I can exclusively reveal Brad and his legal team have gone to new lengths to get Angelina to sign the papers after stalling the process.
The A-list Hollywood actor has asked his lawyers to get a judge to impose a final date or face being fined.
A source close to Brad said: “He has been incredibly patient throughout the divorce process despite being pushed to his limits on many occasions.
"But he’s finally had enough, and while he is a relatively calm person, he can only be pushed so far.
“He’s sick and tired of Ange constantly moving the goal posts and stalling their divorce month after month — painfully dragging out the process which he now feels has become almost a game for Angelina.
Brad has instructed his legal team to seek help from the judge to impose a deadline for Ange to finalise the divorce — imposing a financial sanction if she fails to adhere to the date given by the judge.”
The Sun revealed in April that Angelina was trying to delay the process in a bid to win Brad back.
But he turned her down in favour of trying to keep things harmonious for the sake of their six children.
A court then issued a bifurcated judgement, which means the pair are legally single as they hash out the details of their divorce.
The source added: “Brad’s never been one for ultimatums.
"But he’s spent the past two-and-a-half years dealing with the ending of his marriage and he just wants to put an end to it all for good.
“He wants to move on with his life and stop having the divorce hanging over his head.”
It is just a shame that it has come to this.

Liam has got T-hots for model
IT seems Liam Payne might have a thing for powerful supermodels.
Just two months after his split from Naomi Campbell, the ex-One Direction singer has been getting cosy with Duckie Thot.
The model shared a sweet picture of Liam’s tattooed hand holding hers as they partied at a bash held by posh watch brand Cartier in London.
Liam and Duckie, who found fame after coming third on Australia’s Next Top Model in 2013, were VIP guests at the bash, held in Cartier’s flagship store in New Bond Street, and they looked more than pleased with themselves as they cuddled up during a group picture.
Duckie isn’t the first woman Liam’s been linked to since splitting with Naomi, he was spied having dinner with bandmate Harry Styles’ ex-girlfriend Stella Maxwell last month.
But it’s new territory for Duckie, who only broke up with her actor boyfriend, Kofi Siriboe, in January.
Just like renowned diva Naomi, Duckie is a go-to model in her own right, having walked for big-name fashion houses including Balmain and Oscar De La Renta, as well as being a favourite of Kanye West’s brand Yeezy and Rihanna’s Fenty X Puma collection.
I wonder if she’s got less of a temper? Good luck, Liam. You’re a braver man than me.

Solo Serge playing the field
KASABIAN guitarist Serge Pizzorno unveiled tracks from his debut solo album SLP at an exclusive party hosted by his close pal Noel Fielding.
In a Q&A session with the Bake Off host and comic, Serge told how the “autobiographical” album had been a labour of love.
At the do in London, Serge said: “I had three tracks which I really liked as the beginning, middle and end of a record – and it just got me thinking if I could fill in the gaps there was potentially something great there to be done.
“It’s very different to the stuff I’ve done with the band, but they were really supportive of me doing it. I just had a window while we had some time off and thought I’d try experimenting.”
From what I’ve heard, the experimenting has paid off.
LIBERTINES frontman Carl Barat has confirmed the band are ready to start making their fourth studio album.
Speaking exclusively to ex-Bizarre Editor Gordon Smart on Red Stripe Presents: This Feeling TV, Carl said: “The dates are in our studio diary to make the album.”
It’s been four years since Anthems For Doomed Youth and Carl added: “We’ve done a few writing sessions but we’re going to do something a bit less control freak this time, rather doing lots and compiling and seeing what’s working and what isn’t.
But there will be quite a few stories around the corner.”

“Weirdly, every time I FaceTime, she farts. Every time I FaceTime her, without fail, my voice kind of makes her fart. I don’t know why.”
And that could be a problem as he’s in the UK now ahead of his show at BST Hyde Park on July 14, while his family are believed to be back in California.
