There’s been a slew of little news-bits coming out about Brad and Angelina, but nothing as major or verifiable as the ZOMG “Angelina’s Uncool” stuff. Did you hear that Brad and Angelina might go to Ethiopia for Christmas? Fascinating. How about this – the Associated Press called the birth of twins Vivienne and Knox one of the “top-ten popular culture moments of the year“. Well done.
And then there was this funny piece of info via Star magazine. According to Star, Brad and Angelina have a $200 million pre-nuptial agreement. Of, course, this little piece of gossip was shot down by someone at Brangelina Headquarters.
Star magazine claimed the couple drew up a contract detailing what would happen to their kids, estate and finances if they split up.
But a rep for the pair, who say they have no immediate plans to wed, has set the record straight. ‘There is no truth to any of these claims,’ the spokesperson tells Us Weekly.
Angelina, 33, has also denied she’s expecting another baby.

So what would you do if you worked at Star magazine and you were just shot down? Of course, you would probably make up *another* story about Brad and Angie, just to spite them. Because this time it’s personal. What could a Star writer get away with? Something about babies? Nope, already denied. Something involving being “uncool”? That’s so last month. How about something involving beauty treatments? Brangelina won’t deny a little story about their beauty treatments, would they?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had five kids in three years (eldest son Maddox, was adopted earlier in 2002), but they still look fabulous. What’s the couple’s secret? Home visits from beauty experts once a week!
“They call it their Me Day,” says a source.
Angie, who has her assistant make all the arrangements, is partial to massages, pedicures and waxing. “She even gets her toes waxed,” says the source. “She’s very particular about not having any stray hairs.”
Meanwhile, Brad likes to get highlights and facials. “He’s obsessed with his skin looking flawless and pays extra for detoxifying elixir peels and anti-aging organic serum cleanses.”

Unfortunately, I half-believe this stuff. Angelina’s been over-plucking her eyebrows for a little while now and Brad has always seemed like the kind of guy who needs serious mirror time. And you know what? This information only makes me like Angelina more. She puts up with a guy who’s *way* more vain and high-maintenance, and she has the dreaded “stray hairs” to worry about. Let it grow out, Angie!

Sounds like a fun way to spend a free evening once a week.
Sounds like heaven to me. Once a week, people come over and do all your tidying up for you.
Although hairy toes have never been one of my worries.
Kaiser: I knew it was you writing this waaaaay before I got to the tagline at the end because of your very unique and beautiful writing style!
Well done. All your stories have been excellent.
I personally think Brad and Angie look great and I feel envious of their means to facilitate such luxurious facials and delicious massages.
Hairy toes mean you have good circulation in your feet.
That would explain it, Leandra – cold icy toes here.
Gracie, I agree. Kaiser’s style is easily recognisable and very enjoyable!
And you have to be extremely close to see the tiny hairs on my toes. That’s why they get to survive…
If I had the time and money, you can bet I’d hire someone to come over once a week and deal with my many imperfections!
Love the thread Kaiser.
Spa treatments, great! Spa treatments at home, delicious…..
Thanks Gracie and Modesty! I have an eyebrow fetish… and Angie needs to let hers grow out a bit.
I used to go once a month to the spa and pamper the hell out of myself- I’ve never been a big shopper, so my monthly spa visits were my big splurge. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to be able to have them come to me every week!
And I agree about Angie’s eyebrows- they make her face look a bit more harsh (for lack of a better word- she still looks stunning, however.)
Ew her eyebrows are nasty…
i was thinking that something about her face looked different. having kids takes a toll on the body. maybe she just looks a bit older and gray around the edges. not sure.
one thing though, her look never changes. same long hair, same quasi goth look. same tatooed body.
Brad needs his man card taken away.
I have insanely long think eyebrows & I obsess over them like crazy. I wish I had a beauty team to come over!
Bodhi – As I get older, my eyebrows are losing their natural “arch” – I have to pluck every few days so it’s not just one line-blob of bushy hair. That’s why I’ve started noticing how other people pluck. And now I can’t stop.
I’d like to know why she looks so waxy all the time lately….
In both Changeling and Wanted, I thought Angie’s face and body looked drawn and thin. Her face especially because she has those strong features. Of course she has the big family and the demanding career but I’m happy to read they are taking time for themselves because she has looked tired for over a year now. Still very beautiful, just a lot thinner than the robust beauty who has commanded press for the past few years.
gosh, every time i look at her i think to my self ‘shes the most beautiful woman ever!’… its a shame she is next to brad.. but i guess she wouldn’t / couldn’t handle a more intelligent / powerful man … like lets say george clooney 😉
Angelina has been looking a bit plastic and shiny lately. I’m thinking she might be already be hitting the botox. They are both gorgeous but do not seem to be aging well (although Brad is pushing 50). Having kids ages you faster. They’re both tremendously lucky to be blessed with good genes but I liked Angelina better before she looked anorexic.
Huge crowd of relative strangers judging my every move, wearing expensive clothes, cameras popping off every few seconds, I’d be shining too.
Kaiser~ I feel ya on that! I’m genetically doomed to have small animals over my eyes & ever since my mom pointed it out (lovely woman, I swear 😉 ) I’ve been on a mission!
I agree about the botox – look at her expression in the first pic – she looks surprised or anxious or something, her face wants to move into the right position but .. its not! In that same face position most people have lines on their forehead, but nada! BoToX!
I don’t like the way they are aging. BP has lost all appeal, and she’s just… waxy.
if this is true, the facials dont seem to be helping grampa pitt much. anti aging? i dont think so. nope, not working at all!
Her eyebrows typically have a sharp arch, but in Changeling and for a bit afterward, they were moon shaped with a curved arch.
I think she looks great either way and my eyebrows are like Bodhis. Then I developed a thyroid problem and the outside quarter just fell off, so I now have Hitler mustaches for eyebrows.
