Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton ‘are still super close, they talk for hours’

As a long-time Angelina-loonie, it’s sometimes difficult to admit that I miss Crazy Angelina. Like, I enjoy Serious Humanitarian & Mother Angelina, of course. I admire the way she’s grown up, I admire the woman she’s become through sheer willpower and the desire to make her life mean more, to improve herself and the world. But still, I would love it if there was still a dash of Crazy Angelina in her current incarnation. I miss the crazy bitch that would bring knives to bed, that would f—k her husband in the limo on the way to a premiere, that would treat every interview as an opportunity to say weird crap that she’s still living down to this day. But that’s in the past. Right? Well, Life & Style and In Touch claim that Angelina has been hanging out with Billy Bob Thornton a lot these days. Bring back the leather pants, bitch! Bring on the blood vials! Do something!!!

Reunited…but it doesn’t feel so good for Brad Pitt! Life & Style has learned that Angelina Jolie has been having routine rendezvous’ with her ex-husband Billy Bob Thorton.

“Angelina and Billy Bob are still super close,” an insider dishes to Life & Style, on newsstands now. “And whenever Angelina is in LA, she stops by his house and they’ll talk for hours. They’ve seen each other a lot recently.”

The intimate powwows aren’t likely to sit well with Angie’s fiancé. “Angie has admitted that Brad would never approve of how much she is going over there and talking to Billy Bob,” dishes the insider, adding, “He doesn’t know that they communicate all the time. And he has no idea how close they’ve become, or that Angelina visits him regularly. Angelina knows Brad would never approve.”

Angie and Billy Bob’s three-year marriage ended in 2003, and Angie has since written the foreword to his autobiography, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts, in 2012. After seven years of dating and six kids, Angie and Brad got engaged in 2012.

[From Life & Style]

This isn’t scandalous, and it’s also not new. As I’ve said SO many times before, Angelina seems to be close with both her ex-husbands to this day. I would prefer that she spend more time with Jonny Lee Miller (he’s still my favorite of all of her boyfriends/husbands/significant others), but the fact that she’s still tight with Billy is nothing new either.

Now, I can’t imagine that she still wants to have sex with him though. I’ve admitted this before too, and I shall admit it again: I would have banged BBT circa 2000 too. I wouldn’t have married him (God NO), but I would have hit that, because he did have that kind of skeevy-genius-dirtbag appeal. But I just don’t see how she would ever want to go back to Billy Bob Dong. Not when she’s got Pitt Dong waiting for her at home.

    ….while Brad cries in the waterfall she bought him. AMIRITE?? 😆

    • Hautie says:

      LMAO! You are right!

      I can see it now… his soft weeping into a tissue.

      I guess we all should be thankful, that at least the tabloids, decided to give us all a break from the Jennifer/Angie/Brad triangle of crap this week. 🙂

      • Cheryl says:

        Oh! I can’t wait to see the tabloids take on this! What a crock! Good luck Brad and Angie. How do you like this life?

    • Ari says:

      hahahahahahaha omg this made me laugh so hard

    o_O

    By god, she’s impossibly beautiful in the pictures where she’s wearing the animal print coat.

    B E A U T I F U L!

    • marie says:

      agreed. I do miss her brand of crazy though, she was so entertaining.

    • Eli says:

      Yes beautiful, due to the fact she a hell of a lot more lbs. on her frame.. She is very unhealthy looking now!

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Eli …

        Point out one of those pictures where she looks like she weighs more than she does today. The photo of her in the white suit is from “Life or Something Like It.” Look at her hands and her arms. She was exactly the same size then as she is now.

        The first picture is shortly after her Laura Croft days and she’s already losing that extra weight she gained for the film.

      • nate says:

        actually it’s due to her previous surgeon.

  3. Toot says:

    L&S really needs new writers.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      I completely agree with you. Dumb story.

    • *unf* Joan Jett says:

      Or at least somebody who would bring back some Jenny Shimizu memories. Why nobody writes any weird Brad-drowns-in-tears-because-of-unbearable-Jenny-hotness fiction? Ever?

  4. Jess says:

    Man, that top pic really makes me miss her curvier days and her old nose. She’s still stunningly beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but she looks a lot harsher now.

    • EscapedConvent says:

      I think so too. I liked her softer face. Still gorgeous, but she has sharper edges now.

      What a lovely face, though.

      • mimi says:

        The picture with the Leopard top emphasized how she jacked up her face.

        Her lips are so inflated and nose is starting to look like Michael Jackson’s.

        she is naturally beautiful and there’s no reason for her to be so insecure.

    • LadyBird83 says:

      I like the old nose and fuller face. She is not going go age well being so thin.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      It’s her same nose on a fuller face. And in that photo with Billy Bob you can tell she has almost lost all of the extra weight she put on for Laura Croft.

    • doofus says:

      its funny, I didn’t totally buy into the idea that she’s had plastic surgery, but when you compare these pics (leopard coat) side by side with the pics from the other AJ post today, you can see her face shape is different.

      yes, she’s aged (only a bit, still looks fab) but it looks like more than just age…it really looks like she got cheek implants.

      I’ve seen lots of before/after pics of her, and she does appear to have had some surgery, but it was subtle and well done.

      • Lotta says:

        Faces change, as you age it looses it’s roundness. I’m about the same thing as Angelina Jolie and the same thing has happened to my face.

        I don’t think she had cheek implants but I think she did something with her noose.

      • Aud says:

        I think the same. She has subtle procedures done. If you compare pictures of her late mother, it is as though Angelina is making an effort (whether through procedures or excessive dieting or whatever else) to emulate her mother’s features and lose her father’s features. In these images, she is all Jon Voight. Now, a few years on, and whatever else later, she is beginning to look completely different and that isn’t hormones or ‘aging’. It’s something else.

      • normality says:

        I don’t think she’s had cheek implants. As you age, the skin on your face gets thinner and your cheekbones become more pronounced. She looks the same to me, but with less weight in the face. However, I think people are blind to not notice the nose jobs. Watch foxfire or better yet, Hackers, to see that at one point, her nose looked just like her dad’s. She whittled it down once during the time she was with billy bob, but it was still thicker then, and she whittled it down even more around 2003-04 ish. And I DO think she gets her limps plumped. Her mouth has always been ginormous, but from old photos and movies you can see that the shape of her top lip has ballooned out, which never happens naturally. Lips get thinner and smaller as we age, not the other way around.

      • Blenheim says:

        I think cleverly done plastic surgery too. Chin implant as well. Botox/fillers. I’m surprised the only thing people see is the more obvious nose job.

  5. lisa2 says:

    Funny because when she did the forward for his book and he was promoting he said they don’t talk a lot, but that he was close to her and Brad.

    but I guess the tabloid didn’t see those interviews..

    • Kim says:

      I know he said that on Anderson. COOPER and Piers Morgan but of course Lies and. Style have insiders tapping the phone so they know the truth. Poor Brad I guess he will Walk out in tears once his L&S arrives .today

      • *unf* Joan Jett says:

        Damn, I don’t envy Brad. He must be exhausted from all the constant crying and walking out. I suggest some angry napping instead.

    • toot says:

      Exactly. These tabs don’t know diddly about Angelina’s life and go for the easy, but completely false story.

  6. Suze says:

    Wow, those pics kind of make me miss Angelina Jolie circa 2000 too. So incredibly beautiful. So freaking crazy.

  7. Ranunculus says:

    Although I think she is very crazy and completely egocentric I have to admit she was a stunner when she was young. Maybe Brad is boring as hell. He always strikes me as just a dumb pretty boy, nothing much else, and that can get verrry boring after a while.

    • Denise says:

      All of this!

    • Bored suburbanhousewife says:

      Could not agree more. After Jonny and the totally cool if crazy Billy Bob, Pitt seems like an empty headed, stolid bore. I suppose only for a woman as beautiful and charismatic as she could Brad Pitt be viewed as a step down. Did even La Jolie “settle”?

    • Cidee says:

      This. I have always believed that Angie will eventually get bored of Brad and dump him – maybe not for someone else but just because she can’t take the vanilla any longer.Like it or not- he and Jen were a perfect couple. ZZZZzzzz
      BBT is more her speed. (He’s so HOT. There- I said it).

      • Kim says:

        Brad wanted a large family Brad likes adventure and traveling. Brad likes being involved in helping others.Jen was fine when he was getting high on the sofa.He and Angie have similar interest such as flying. I DK what

      • Kim says:

  8. PHD Gossip says:

    Never noticed before that she wears colored contact lenses.

  9. danni says:

    shw was so sexy!
    i miss the old angie!

  10. Poppy says:

    Wow, she had such buckets of sex appeal 10 years ago! She’s still a beautiful woman, but she doesn’t exude sex like she did back then.

  11. Sarcasmo says:

    I’d totally shame-fuck BBT. Don’t judge me, bitches!

  12. Quinn says:

    To me, Jolie has lost her sex appeal over the years. I about went lesbian when Tomb Raider came out, but she doesn’t exude “it” anymore for me.

  13. Kim says:

    Yeah I liked her better pre kids when she was on drugs .Those were the good old days.

  14. Esmom says:

    I call BS on the story. But I like what you wrote about her:

    “I admire the woman she’s become through sheer willpower and the desire to make her life mean more, to improve herself and the world.”

    I’ve never been a fan of hers but that’s indeed what she’s done. What we should all try to do. But I agree that it would be fun to get a glimpse of her crazy side if it’s still in there somewhere.

  15. Guesto says:

    I still think BBT is 100 times hotter than Bradley Pitt. Yes, even now. 🙂

    • Jill says:

      I saw him at a restaurant last year and he looked like a frail old man. He was nice & friendly though. We were calling him BBT & he said his friends call him that & he smiled about it.

  16. ramie says:

    I loved Angelina when she was openly crazy/hot/unique/oversexed. I hate to say that now she bores me as a good Samaritan with a litter of children.

  17. Bird says:

    Nice to see some of Angie’s old faces. I can totally believe this story, actually. I think she and BB are much better suited for each other.

  18. Sue says:

    Really, talk for hours????Hahahaha, She’s super women,6 kids, husband, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, actress, director and she has time to talk to this loser? Doubt it.

  19. WTF says:

    I guess Life and Style needed another CRAP STORY to fill their sidebar. LOL. They recycle this BS story at least once a year. The tabloids know NOTHING about Angelina/Brad.

  20. Mira says:

    I don’t know how she went from BBT to Brad Pitt. I commented on yesterday’s post that from a movie point of view I find both Jolie and Pitt insufferable. But in terms of personality, Jolie is so much more interesting than Brad can ever be. I don’t know, I just don’t get the Brad Pitt appeal as an actor and as a celebrity. But dear god, she is so so beautiful in the pictures above!

    • ronnie1213 says:

      Maybe she is Brad Pitt for his looks, he is beautiful and if he digs her it may be that old saying is true. Someone in the relationship is the leader and someone is the follower. I can see Jolie leading, and of course I don’t mean this in a horrible way. This could be the case and both are blissfully happy.

      • Mira says:

        Yeah, I guess but how long can one hold to beauty alone? Ain’t conversation more important? It definitely is for me. Maybe Brad is interesting although he doesn’t come across as such.

    • SydneySpy says:

      I thought it was just me. As a newbie, I’m hopeless at this celebrity watching and scrutinising. Hell, I don’t even know who 99% of these “celebrities” are… As I was saying, I thought it was just me with the lip thing, but it sure looks like she’s pumped up the top lip. Nevertheless, she is stunning, still. As for the fellas, BillyBob or Bradley.can’t hold a candle to Jonny. I’d shag him any day. Swooooon……

  21. floretta50 says:

    Damn I would kill to look that beautiful. Heck, I am more beautiful that she is, just kidding, I am old enough to be her mother. I believe that ring she had on from the grand-mother is her wedding ring, why else would all of the family go to that Caribbean island in December.

  22. Queen freddie says:

    She was so naturally pretty, why do all actress’ always mess with their face?

  23. Eli says:

    She looks good with blue eyes… Note the blue contacts in the photo with Billy Bob!

  24. janie says:

    That is bizarre… Look who were dealing with. I wonder if BBT is the love of her life? U can’t help who u fall in love with? The only issue for me is BBT was engaged to another woman & married her. Brad was married & left his wife. She must be quite the lay?

  25. Diana says:

    She has a beautiful face, no way around that, but I’m I the only one who finds those animal print pics kind of trashy? That was what I’ve never liked about her, that trashy vibe which thankfuly is totally gone now that she’s humanitarian-mother of six Angelina.

    • Katija says:

      To me, animal prints are like acrylic nails. They *can* be pulled off, but damn if you aren’t walking a fine line. A little nail extension with a French tip or simple red? OK… but add another millimeter of length and rhinestones, and you’re in “Jersey Shore” territory.

      Same with leopard. Add a print bag or heels to a black dress… okay… add a pair of leopard pants or a full-on leopard dress, whoaaaaa you’re a hooker.

      Angelina is toeing the line here, but I *do* like it. And I sympathize. As a Russian, I feel like I’m always one millimeter of acrylic nail or a bit too much leopard away from being *that* kind of Russian, LOL.

  26. Katija says:

    Billy Bob Thornton is my “irrationally angry” celeb. I think everyone has that one famous person who makes you just want to break something whenever you see their dumb stupid face, LOL. (Probably Goopy for a lot of people.)

    It was that radio interview. I *despise* people who think that their “genius” gives them license to be an asshole. Something about that really rubbed me the wrong way. Urgh. Hate him.

  27. Zombie Shortcake says:

    I’ve always thought the reason she and Brad are tying the knot is because it really is “for the kids”; that the idea of formal marriage, plus motherhood, at this more mature, settled down point in her life, is too conventional and stifling for “wild at heart” Jolie.

  28. Miss M says:

    Jonny Lee Miller is my favorite. I think Brad Pitt is an American budget version of JLM (yeah, you can call me crazy for saying this).

    • j.eyre says:

      BBT is on my Sh@mef*ck L!st.

      I know, I know – but I can’t help it. The terror of being alone in a room with him only adds to the fire.

    • Cirque28 says:

      Not crazy! I never thought of it that way before, but you’re soooo right. Brad is Jonny Lee without the edge. Also, JLM is an excellent actor whereas BP… well… he seems like a nice person who basically plays the same role in all his movies.

    • zut alors! says:

      Jonny Lee Miller is my favorite of all her loves, past and present. I simply do not get Brad Pitt’s appeal at all. He sounds barely literate in every single interview I’ve seen of him. It’s unfathomable to me that she has taken and continues to take the vicious public abuse all because of Brad Pitt! The man is spectacularly unremarkable. One can only hope that one of these days she is going to wake up from the stupor of the last several years and rid herself of him and his “designing” ways pronto. What does he have over her that makes her subject herself to the vitriol and malice spewed at her constantly?

    • SydneySpy says:

      With you all the way, Lisa.

  29. KellyinSeattle says:

    Billy Bob said in an interview that Brad and Angelina are both great people. I don’t think there is any animosity between the three of them….none seem to be the jealous type.

  30. JL says:

    Help me out Celebitchies.

    Angelina had / got Maddox when she was with BBT – so is BBT Maddox’s dad?

    • JL says:

      I know Maddox is adopted, but angie was with BBT (sounds like a sling blade killer name doesn’t it) for the young and formative years of his life…..

      • Rena says:

        JL, BBT was never Maddox’s father, not in any way. He walked out on Angie 2 weeks after she brought Maddox home as an infant from Namibia where Angie was making a film and where the adoption agency brought the baby when all the paperwork was done. BBT said he was not into being a father and rejected Maddox, but has a daughter with his long term GF who is around Shiloh’s age I think.

        BBT has also admitted he never ever adopted Maddox and that only Angie adopted him. On their divorce papers Maddox’s last name was Jolie.

        Maddox’s only father is Brad, in every way. BBT had nil interaction with Maddox, while JLM had some contact with the baby, but Brad Pitt is the man who stepped up as his dad since Maddox was around 2-3 and he is now 11 going on 12.

    • Mr.Smurf says:

      I think that the reason they got a divorce was because she wanted kids, was getting into her UN work, and he was just focused on making his music, career. I think she adopted him as a single parent.

      • JL says:

        Thanks Rena and Smurf.

        I know I’d never seen BBT show any interest in the child, so I wanted the facts.

        I’m glad to hear it, because that way all the kids have the same parents without Maddox having another “dad”.

  31. s says:

    omg she is so tweaked now. Her face looks totally different.

  32. carriemathison503 says:

    I want to smoke Mary Jane with angie

  33. Asdfg says:

    Agree Kaiser!

    Where is the wild Angelina Jolie? What happened to her?

    I still think she is wild just more conservative about it! No one knows what goes on behind closed doors!

  34. Vesper says:

    I don’t believe this story at all. Angelina said herself that her relationship with Billy Bob changed when she first started going the humanitarian route. She stated they no longer had anything to talk about.

    • Sue says:

      It’s totally made up, first she only married BBT because her father said she had issues and wanted her locked up when she was being wild,she married him and adopted Maddox then told her to get rid of the kid as he was taken attention from him, the rest is history, I doubt very much she would give BBT the time of day. And I agree with a lot of you when you say John Lee Miller is your fav, mine too.

  35. Jade says:

    lol weird!

  36. ShakenNotStirred says:

    I liked Jolie when she was with BBT who has mad sex appeal. Same thing with Jonny Lee Miller. Sex appeal. Pitt … Not so much.

    I do believe Jolie and BBT are still close. They both speak well of each other. I also think, like most of these celebs, that Pitt and Jolie have an arrangement. It’s probably the true reason why they didn’t get married before and I respect them for that if my hunch is true.

    Much better than the farce Jada and Will Smith have been serving us.

  37. Sugar says:

    as a fellow Gemini I get Angie and her exs we like to “stay friends” if possible & I have even had exes befriend exs which makes for a fun round of UNO.

  38. normality says:

    I’m glad she’s no longer suicidal and unhinged, but I too loved the way she was back then. There was an honesty to her that was really appealing. I read her interview in Rolling Stone back in 2000, and I cried. She seemed a bit unstable, but she was also normal and very very relatable. Go back and read that interview. It’s a breath of fresh air. Yeah, she was a druggie. And she was really obsessed by blood and knives (the interviewer talks about how they were present at a vow renewal between herself and billy bob, in which they drank each other’s blood). I’m not sure that that was really a “healthy” frame of mind, but her openness and her honesty was refreshing. Though I do think she cares about the causes she supports nowadays, I NEVER read an interview with her and feel like it isn’t forced and affected. She used to laugh at herself and admit when things made her unhappy. Now she pretends that her life is perfection and that she doesn’t know or notice when people make fun of her. It’s sad.

  39. Original A says:

    Man, she’s still incredibly beautiful but holy shitsnacks she really was the most gorgeous women back in the day (and with her old nose, too). Am I the only one who thinks her nose job was probably due to her former drug habit, rather than for cosmetic reasons? Anyway, none of these modern day sexiest women can light a candle next to Angelina in her youth (Mila Kunis, Jennifer Lawrence, etc.)….Angelina reminds me of one of the old-school movie stars…Everybody is so bland as white bread in comparison to her.

  40. homey says:

    love her hate her, she’s a true beauty and rule breaker. I actually hate her myself, prolly a mix of jealousy. but I stay friends with my ex’s too if I can. It takes two for a mature friendship, so it’s not always possible. It’s really the humor thing for me that keeps me in friendship with the ex’s. we all move on in terms of lifestyle and age, but humor is forever, and not everyone on the planet gets our own unique pov. but hot d*amn biscuits, skinny or curvy, she’s the queen of sex.

  41. dcypher1 says:

    Even though aj does all these great things for charity. She will always be to me part of the hollywood homewreckers club along with sienna, kstew, leann. I hope we never see homewrecker aj ever again cus if we did I couldnt like her anymore. She has a habit of hooking up with her costars.
