Although there’s been a lot of speculation recently, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are putting an end to their split rumors by suing a London tabloid for claiming they were planning to break up!
Brangelina’s lawyer, Keith Schillings, tells BBC News that the couple has indeed begun legal proceedings against the News of The World tabloid, which first reported in January that the two were making arrangements to split their assets and deal with the custody of their six children.
He goes on to say that the tabloid contained “false intrusive allegations” and that the paper failed to meet a demand for retraction and apology for the report which was “widely republished by mainstream news outlets.”
Schillings continues by noting that the Los Angeles divorce lawyer supposedly responsible for advising the duo denied all claims that he was even in contact with the couple. “I have had no contact from… Angelina Jolie and / or Brad Pitt. I have never met… your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm.”
A spokesperson for the tabloid has yet to comment.
The Boots Girls are predicting an intense Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp hookup this year, and it’s not necessarily for the reasons you think!
The sexy mega-stars are slated to film The Tourist together this year in Italy. Despite Brangelina breakup rumors and reports Jolie and Depp are scheduled to film steamy sex scenes together — that’s not why we think the two stars will develop a romance. Although that equation certainly doesn’t hurt our theory.
Out of all celebrities we have covered — we can’t think of two Hollywood types who are more alike. Here’s why:
- They both are super anti-Hollywood.
- They’re both surprisingly down-to-earth and genuine in person. (Yeah, we’ve met both!)
- They both are extremely generous with their money, and they make it a priority to give back to the less fortunate.
- Finally, they both are the type of celebrities who befriend everyone from a PA on the set to the hot shot director. For example, Depp once flew his driver from the Public Enemies set to his home in the Bahamas for the weekend, and Angelina once gave our pap friend a ride! Most celebs are WAY too cool for school to hang out with common folk!
Can you spell Johnny Angel anyone? Mark our words on this one…
Although just yesterday Life & Style reported that Brangelina was not making plans to break up, other sources are coming forward claiming the split was a long time coming for Brad Pitt, who friends say has been miserable for months.
Not only is he unhappy in his relationship with Angelina Jolie, but, In Touch Weekly is reporting that he is adopting new feelings for his ex, Jennifer Aniston, who began easing his pain back in March. Additionally, Brad planned a secret meeting in NYC’s Central Park for Jen to come meet his daughters, Shiloh and Zahara.
“One week in late March, I overheard security saying that Brad was meeting with [Jen] in Central Park before going to see Angelina on the set,” revelas former Waldorf-Astoria employee Anna Kowalski.
“He took Shiloh and Zahara in the car with him,” says an insider who adds that the whole event was very carefully planned. The two met in their cars near the Mount Sinai School of Medicine on 5th Avenue, but the whole ordeal seemed extremely nerve-wracking. Obviously the last thing Brad needs is Angelina finding out he introduced his kids to Jen.
The meet-and-greet was well worth it for the formerly married couple though. “Zahara was asleep in the car with the driver, so Jen only got to talk with Shiloh,” says a friend of the actress, who adds that during the meeting, Jen was brought to tears seeing her ex-husband’s adorable daughter. “She said that all that had happened in their past seemed to melt away that day,” continued the friend, who also said that after the meeting, Jen remarked that she’s “proud of Brad and thinks he’s a great dad.”
And although it’s apparent Brad is not completely content with the way his life is going with Angelina, the friend says, Jen said “at least he had this beautiful little girl.”
And because Jen had worked so hard on making Brad a father, it was a lot to see how much he’d grown.
Recent rumors are claiming Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have an alleged $333 million deal to break-up! However, it’s hard to believe this long-term couple is really calling it quits.
Apparently, the couple met with an LA divorce lawyer to supposedly split their assets and custody of their kids. However, in reality, the unmarried couple met with a lawyer to prepare the equivalent to a prenuptial agreement, Life & Style exclusively reports.
“Brad and Angelina had a meeting with a top law firm in LA in December, where they worked out terms of a legal document similar to a prenup,” an insider reveals. “The couple signed the document in early January. They agreed to share their money and assets and custody of their six children, all of whom would live with Angelina in the event of their parents’ breakup.”
Don’t fret though fans! This doesn’t confirm the termination of their five-year relationship. “They didn’t talk to the lawyer about splitting, nor was that ever mentioned at the meeting,” the insider notes, adding that they were “snippy with each other” during the meeting.
“Brad and Angelina aren’t splitting right now,” says a second source close to the couple. “Will they be together forever as a couple? Probably not. It’ll run its course, but I think they’re fine — for now.”
Even though a split hasn’t been confirmed, you know Jennifer Aniston is wetting her pants in joy over the reports!
Though recent reports insinuate that the couple are expected to split next year, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stepped out for dinner Monday in Beverly Hills!
Though the duo couldn’t have seemed happier, the tell-all, Brangelina: Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (out today), claims they’re on the rocks.
“They’ve broken up so many times it would make your head spin,” writes author Ian Halperin, who says that the couple will be dunzo by Christmas 2010.
Additionally, insiders continue to disclose information regarding what makes the couple fight!
They “fight all the time about the kids — where to put toys, saying the wrong thing to a nanny, not cleaning up. Like cats and dogs,” an insider recently told Us Weekly.
What else gets between Brangelina? President Barack O’Bama!
“She hates him,” a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador recently told Us Weekly.
She and Pitt — who is a big fan of the president and even went solo to the 2008 election party in Chicago — “get in nasty arguments all the time about it,” said the source. “She doesn’t respect Brad when it comes to politics, but, in the end, this won’t tear them apart.”
Blah blah blah! We bet they have great make up sex!
The new issue of Us Weekly is unveiling a new side of the Jolie-Pitts!
The new tell-all, Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, gives the public a look inside the couple’s not so lovey-dovey relationship, such as how “they’ve broken up so many times it would make your head spin.”
It also insinuates that Jolie “has a temper like a cobra” and even alleges that she once confessed to hiring a hit man to kill her in 1998 because she was so delusional!
So Jennifer Aniston PRETENDS to be crazy for the attention?! And Angelina is just LEGIT crazy?!
The new issue of Us also goes into detail about Brad and Angelina’s constant fights about their six children.
“They fight all the time about the kids - where to put toys, saying the wrong thing to a nanny, not cleaning up,” one source tells Us Weekly. “Like cats and dogs.”
They fight about where to put the toys?! Jon and Kate Gossselin much?
Angelina Jolie went seven years without attempting or needing a relationship with her father, Jon Voight. However, it looks like the rift is over!
“We’re in touch, but not regularly,” Voight, confirms to Us Weekly. “We love each other and that’s the most important thing.”
Angelina stopped speaking to her father back in 2001 after an emotional Voight appeared on Access Hollywood and begged for her to seek help for her “serious mental problems.”
However, since this past February when “they met face-to-face” the two have maintained a relationship and continue to talk, a family friend explains.
“Angie made the initial contact,” says the friend. “Brad [Pitt] has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out.”
Hmm… We bet this relationship writes an interesting chapter in the new Brad and Angie tell all!
Jennifer Aniston wants to take one from Angelina Jolie’s book, and star in an action film like a James Bond flick!
Aniston says she is sick of her romantic comedy films, and would love to appear in the spy thriller franchise, according to FemaleFirst.co.uk.
“I would love to be in an action movie. James Bond, glamour and Daniel Craig… s**t loads of fun!” Aniston exclaimed.
Aniston says she has not been thrilled about the movies she’s been promoting these days, and she’s ready for a change.
“Sometimes you’re not always thrilled by the movie you’re pushing. I don’t want to just play the girl trying to get the guy. That doesn’t interest me anymore. But I tend to get offered funny, quirky or pretty.”
She went on to question what the worst thing could evolve from the role change.
“What’s the worst that can happen? I can make an a*s out of myself? Like that’s never happened,” Aniston quipped.
There’s nothing better than reinventing yourself, but the girl who built her entire career as the girl next door would be a hard sell as badass chick in any kind of action flick. There’s only one Angie, and she should know that by now!
Most celebrities boast about the charities they are involved with or donate to, and usually it’s just another ploy to get in the headlines. However, The Giving Back Fund used public records to compile a list of the top 12 celebrities who gave the most in 2008, according to Parade magazine.

Angelina Jolie Did Not Sleep With Mom’s Boyfriend!
October 29th, 2009
Celebrity biographer Andrew Morton has come out and said that his new book on Angelina Jolie does not allege she slept with her mom, Marcheline Bertrand’s, boyfriend when she was 16 despite recent reports.
Morton is calling all the reports false.
“It’s about as true as I’m sitting on this horse,” he told Life & Style.
Thank God for that. We know Angie is no stranger to scandal, but that would be outright sick!
Morton is writing the biography and refuses to reveal any specifics. However, if it’s like his previous books - about Tom Cruise, Princess Diana and other celebrities - it’s sure to be scandalous.
We can’t wait till the new shocking tell-all hits shelves!
