Is Angelina Jolie trying to flirt her way into a better divorce agreement?

Earlier this week, we talked about Angelina Jolie’s work on World Refugee Day. Jolie was in Nairobi to meet with rape survivors and UN peacekeepers. She made a speech and good work was done by all. The only criticism people had was A) her ensemble was completely tragic and B) in some photos, Jolie looked positively Kidman-esque. For the record, that’s why I chose those particular photos! I looked at them and thought “she looks… odd.” But in other photos, she looked like herself, so I have no idea. It wouldn’t surprise me if Jolie has gotten some Divorce Botox, but then again, I’ve thought she’s played around with Botox in the past.

It’s also possible that newly-single Angelina is feeling herself a little bit? Maybe. According to Life & Style, she’s maybe trying to flirt her way into a generous divorce deal with Brad.

Nine months after their nasty split in September 2016, Brad Pitt is actually thinking of getting back together with estranged wife Angelina Jolie. Life & Style has exclusively learned that the couple’s divorce settlement talks are on hold while they try to privately hash out where their six children are going to live. Brad thinks this time spent alone could create sparks between them again.

“She has invited Brad over to her new Los Feliz mansion, which is close to his house,” the insider shares. “Part of him hopes they can resume their lives together there and have a new beginning.”

But friends worry that the 53-year-old is being scammed. “Brad has blinders on when it comes to Angie,” the insider reveals. “His friends are very concerned that she is using him to get the divorce agreement changed, and once he realizes that, it could send him spinning.”

[From Life & Style]

Ever since Angelina’s divorce filing, I’ve wondered if there is any chance whatsoever that Brangelina could happen again. I don’t think Angelina is up for it – but is Brad? Does he secretly hope to Garner-Affleck this thing until he and Jolie are basically back together? I honestly think both Brad and Angelina are manipulative enough to think that they could bang their way into a favorable divorce negotiation. Man, that sounds like a good premise for a movie, right? Mr. and Mrs. Smith: The Divorce Negotiation, with guns and sex.

    Pictures or it didn’t happen. LIke she needs more money or like he can’t afford to give more up.

    • Kairenne says:

      Money is ALWAYS an issue. These two are NOT billionaires, BUT they live as if they are. Private planes, huge estate in France, multiple homes.

      • YepIsaidiit says:

        If you followed them the only big splurges Angelina made were on charity. Brad once paid 30 million for a coffee table. 🤔 But she needs his money.

      • Peeking in says:

        30 MILLION on a coffee table? Did you mean 30,000?

      • Peeking in says:

        Ok, I just looked it up. It was three hundred thousand (300000) not thirty million (30000000). Phew.

      • Trashaddict says:

        Damn for 5 thou you could probably custom order up a perfectly nice coffee table. Maybe that’s why she got tired of him.

    • Achoo! says:

      I remember in the Jen days he was always buying weird artsy furniture at Art Basle, Jen said that one benefit of the divorce was that she could now actually have comfortable furniture in the house.

  2. amy says:

    Just another made-up story about Brad and Angelina, the tabloids are desperate since the divorce case is sealed.

    • GirlBye says:

      Looks like no one really cared about these two. No where near the number of headlines as when Jennifer Aniston was involved. Shows you that Aniston was the biggest one of them all and these two just happen to be along.

      • Luca76 says:

        You’re name is perfect because this comment deserves a girl bye.

      • bap says:

        @Lucas76 Well Said!

      • CynicalAnn says:

        Yes, Aniston is the really Super Star in this group. She’s an Oscar winning, philanthropic,-oh wait-never mind.

      • KiddVicious says:

        The headlines weren’t because of the Pitt/Aniston divorce, but how it happened, there was a famous third party involved. I’m pretty sure if Aniston/Theroux divorced there would be even less headlines. Unless there were a famous third party.

      • Magnoliarose says:

        Girlplease

      • Brittney B. says:

        Lololol, I try not to comment on this absurd triangle, but are you seriously implying that they’re less famous than her?!

      • Carmen says:

        Of all the stupid comments on this board — and I have read plenty — yours leads the pack by a country mile.

      • MiniMii says:

        Chelsea Handler, is that you? 😆

  3. AnotherDirtyMartini says:

    Ooo, I usually think she’s stunning. This isn’t good. This is Courtney Cox territory.

    • MunichGirl says:

      Too many fillers, let’s hope she only did it for this event.

    • Connell says:

      She looks like she is wearing a mask. Beautiful, but artificial. Of course, they could get back together. Brad is older, and wants to be with his children. He just needs to understand that Angelina is in charge and is calling the shots. Brad is no saint, but he needs to get that straight.

      • Connell says:

        I am sorry if I offended anyone by what I said. Angelina kind of runs the show with the kids. He needs to adapt and go along with things, in an appropriate manner.

    • YepIsaidit says:

      I bet none of y’all said the same when Pitt was spotted with a new face and weird eyes. 😂😂😂

      She looks lovely and if she wants filler or whatever good for her.

      • LadyT says:

        I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Pitt looked entirely too “refreshed” in Allied and during the Allied promotion. Now he looks back to normal. In these current pictures of Jolie (and I’m not including the grossly photoshopped ones a la Toddlers and Tiaras) she appears to have overdone or freshly done some work on her face that doesn’t look good. I hope she adjusts her treatments so it’s back to her exceptionally beautiful face that’s seen, and not “the work.”

      • Lilly says:

        Oh no, I did! He’s definitely had work done. His eyelids were falling over his eyes before and his skin was much less ‘firm’.

        But that doesn’t mean Jolie hasn’t had some major work done too, and not the best in terms of discretion.

        It’s weird to me that two or three uber fans can’t see it and insist it’s photoshop, when these are getty images plus there’s video.

      • YepIsaidit says:

        I guess you haven’t seen the new photos of Pitt with his eyes looking droopy then.

        Oh well, I think she looks good. I remember back a few years ago she had more lines on her forehead and I was like lady you’re a celebrity get some Botox. So I’m happy she’s doing fillers or whatever it is she’s doing. I think she looks better than ever but a little tired. It was a long flight.

      • V4Real says:

        As much as you read AJ and Brad post you should be well aware that people said plenty about Brad’s look, good and bad.

        And AJ”s fillers, injectable botox or whatever looks horrible. Maybe it will look better once it settles.

      • YepIsaidit says:

        Lily, I see it and I like it. There was once a time she looked much older because she was aging naturally. More wrinkles on her forehead… That was also the time she was looking anorexic and stressed to hell… She was trapped in that marriage/relationship with a drunk abuser so that might explain why she looked the way she looked. But I think she needed fillers and Botox so good for her for getting it done.

        She looks much healthier now and her face looks great to me.

      • Roled says:

        Umm no she doens’t look good. She looks ridiculous with her fillers.
        And meanwhile, you all love to slam other women for getting fillers but I guess when St. Angie wants it, its okay?

      • Lady D says:

        There are 14 comments currently above yours, 7 of them call out her use of fillers/botox.

      • Trashaddict says:

        Nope. Brad looks weird, too. See, divorce is not good for your health. Unless it keeps you from killing your ex or them killing you.

  4. minx says:

    I doubt it.

    • doofus says:

      hahaha…that was my reaction, too. but the headline gave me a chuckle.

      I don’t think Jolie is up for a reunion. I think she tried and tried to get Pitt to clean up, over the course of a couple years, and the plane incident was the breaking point. I fully believe that Pitt would get back with her in a heartbeat, esp considering how we heard he was “blindsided” after she filed. I think that, because he had been able to “get away” with drunken behavior for a long time without really losing anything that he’d be able to continue that way ad infinitum.

      I don’t claim to know Jolie and her way of thinking like some superfans do, but I do agree with a lot of them that, when she’s done, SHE. IS. DONE. she’s very deliberate in her actions and behaviors so I think she had taken her time to make the decision to break, and will stick to it.

      but hey, I didn’t think they’d ever split up, and that happened…so what do I know?…

      • bap says:

        @Doofus Pay Attention to Ones Action Not their Words. Angelina is very consistent with her Actions.

      • V4Real says:

        @Doofus
        I agree that Brad would try to get back with AJ but I think she’s done.

        I don’t get the whole pay attention to her actions, not her words. Wasn’t some people claiming that AJ doesn’t lie, she’s an open book. Now it’s don’t pay attention to what she says but what she does. Is it because her words were we have a great marriage but her actions filed for divorce.

      • Keely says:

        I think Bap is referring to Pitt, that’s kind of her mantra with him. I think what she means, is Pitt said one thing in his GQ piece, but his actions since have been contrary to those words. While Angelina has seemingly been walking her walk regarding the kids. That’s my interpretation anyway.

      • bap says:

        @Keely You are correct that is what I meant.

      • CynicalAnn says:

        I’m with you.

  5. Clare says:

    Wow, that old trope where the woman is conniving and uses her sexuality to seduce/manipulate a man, and the man is stupid enough to fall for it.

  6. What adisgusting premise. Team Brad desperately trying to tarnish Jolie’s humanitarian headlines from these past few days with this drivel because a wealthy, competent, self-aware female has to use her body in divorce proceedings because womanly wiles. So gross and transparent.

    • IMO says:

      Oh dear… sure blame Brad and not the gossip magazines which are all now on the National Enquirer level (even People Magazine) and only seem to publish nonsense nowadays.

      • Odell says:

        I started to lose respect for People when they celebrated President Trump:

        http://www.celebitchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/trump1.jpg

      • YepIsaidit says:

        His team was obviously planting stuff for him from the beginning. Like Johnny Depp used the media against Amber Brad did the same to Angelina and her kids

      • IMO says:

        @YepIsaidit

        Sure lmao.

      • Indira says:

        I think both of them are playing PR games. People need to stop thinking just because they are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt they don’t care what other people think about them. They still need the support for their movies, humanitarian work, …

        That People cover is ugh.

      • IMO says:

        @Indira

        If games are played, then yes I agree, both do it.

      • YepIsaidit says:

        Imo, I guess you weren’t paying attention from the beginning he used the media to attack Jolie and made it seem like she was trying to snatch the kids away from a good guy. Even his friends like Melissa etheridge came out and attacked Angelina. Turns out Angelina and her team were telling the truth and he is a Sh—tty daddy and she simply wanted him to get help and be better.

      • Luca76 says:

        Melissa Etheridge is just nuts by her own account she hadn’t spoken to Brad in nearly a decade. She just felt like putting in her two cents.

      • IMO says:

        @YepIsaidit

        See my response to Indira.

        @Luca76

        Yep.

      • YepIsaidit says:

        Luca, Brad himself claimed Melissa is a good friend of his. So…

  7. bap says:

    They create Rumors to try to nullify Angelina’s accomplishments because They know She is Force to be Reckon with.

  8. bap says:

    Angelina Spirit will Never be Broken!

  9. Narak says:

    As a woman it seems that no matter how accomplished you are, what really matters is how you look. So frustrating!!!

  10. vanna says:

    I think she put on some much needed pounds (like 4 to 6) and it shows in her face. I don’t see fillers. I dont doubt that she is on botox though.

  11. smcollins says:

    What a bunch of b.s. But then again this is coming from L&S so that’s kind of a given, isn’t it?

  12. YepIsaidit says:

    Nah, the Brad loving tabloids need an excuse for why the marriage/divorce isn’t over yet. They don’t want to tell the readers it’s because Pitt is not done with whatever therapy and steps he needs to take to get whatever custody he wants. 9 months later and Pitt & children are still in therapy, but he is innocent – yeah right. LoL

    Pitt is currently traipsing around Europe with some woman btw. 😂 So much for putting his kids first. Like Bap says – actions speak louder than words

    • Anna says:

      He’s promoting Okja right? Who is the new woman? Curious…

      • Olga says:

        She’s talking about this photo

        https://www.instagram.com/p/BVqbC6KhBGW/

        A woman took a photo with him, no more no less. That’s what some fans do when they see Jolie or Pitt. I’d also annoy both of them for a photo LOL

      • YepIsaidiit says:

        Actually Olga, I’m not talking about that photo.

        Kind of funny how y’all jump on that comment and not the one before about him still needing therapy. That’s how it works when a parent effs up and cps gets involved and proves the parent is baaad… It could take up to a year for things to settle and custody to be arranged properly.

      • YepIsaidit says:

        9 months later and he doesn’t have 50 custody and is still in therapy. Proof – photos of pax Jolie-Pitt going to an La therapist and Brad arriving an a hour after pax left at the same therapist. You want the photos? I noticed the daily mail didn’t post those pix… Hmm i wonder why?

        Those particularly posters are probably Pitt/Brangelina fans hoping for a reconciliation. It ain’t gonna happen.

    • MunichGirl says:

      Pics or it didn’t happen – I bet that you don’t have any (new) pics from Brad and “some women”.

    • LadyT says:

      Yep- And words that just come flying out of someone’s overtly biased head with no factional basis whatsoever don’t carry any weight at all.

      • YepIsaidiit says:

        😂😂😂😂😂

        Biased. I am an Angelina fan but if the shoe was on the other foot I would call her out for her actions. She actually seems like a good parent unlike the abuser.

  13. stinky says:

    such a blatant non-story! what did I even just read? geezus.

  14. Adorable says:

    I just find it odd that once a celebrity looks “different”,it’s oh she’s had Botox,this,that or the other..why can’t someone have been photographed in a bad angle,bad make-up,or perhaps age or weight,or even getting/or lacking a good-nights sleep being a factor..it’s immediately surgery..Sure their famous but it’s just odd expecting celebrities too always be perfect🤔

  15. mogul says:

    I definitely think that they will get back together, of course not right now but in six years at least. They will get back together, there’s no one else out there that’s more compatible to fulfill their needs or their equal. I could see Brad hook up with a not famous woman to try something new or a younger actress with some celeb status, but both situation wouldn’t work out for him. One side, his to vain to be with a nobody and the other side he wouldn’t want more kids. Just vibe that I’m getting from him.

    Angelina, would have hard time finding a man with the status and the patience to accept being a stepfather to her six children. She’s a very involved mother and her kids will be major factor in any future relationship that she would’ve. It’s hard to love someone else’s children, especially when they’re already reaching puberty and she will need to find a wealthy man to truly be equal. She will start feeling lonely when her oldests will leave the nest and she will bond with their father about their kids childhood memories.

    So yes, I see them getting back together one day.

    • YepIsaidit says:

      Well, ya see if he would actually get it together and the courts award him 50/50 custody then Angelina will have free time to find love again. Until then she seems 100 % dedicated to her kids. On the other hand Pitt has been enjoying not having his kids. Partying, signing on to flops, promoting flops, traveling, dating , pretending to be an artist.

      He’s gonna have a rude awakening if he actually does get 50 custody cause he’s going to have to settle down for the kids. So he probably doesn’t even want that much time taken away from the list of things he’s doing. 🙄🙄

      Poor Angelina really needs a child free vacation.

    • Lady D says:

      @mogul, how come Angie’s new partner will struggle with 6 step kids but not Brad’s new partner?

    • bap says:

      Perhaps Angelina will find a Good Man that has just as many children as she does. Their relationship will be “Yours, Mind and Ours”.

    • Joni says:

      I can see them getting back together in 5-10 years time when the kids are grown.

    • norah says:

      If people look at angelina then she never looks back. my impression is that she tried to make the relationship work over and over again but when the plane incident happened she was done with him and their marriage for good. i think brad needs more support emotionally than she does. she is strong enough on her own without him. if she is fortunate to meet someone who genuinely cares abt her and the kids then i will be thrilled but right now she doesnt need anyone for any kind of romance

  16. Keely says:

    This is such obvious bs, so lies and stuff has exclusive details that only they have about private negotiations that no one else knows about. The same tabloids that until recently had no idea where Angelina and the kids were actually living or where in fact they currently are…but they have details about the divorce negotiations- yes sure. Also because Angelina needs Brad’s money and like someone above said the woman uses her sexuality trope is so overdone and old- they should try something else. These tabloids all of them, people mag, E news, and these lower tier ones have been fabricating tall tales for months – they know nothing, nada zilch…it’s sad that some people will buy this nonsense. The people that write this stuff should be ashamed.

    I don’t for a single second believe they’re getting back together EVER. I think Angelina was done when she filed those papers and I think Brad has finally moved on too, and I don’t see either of them going back. Sorry I have no sense of humour when it comes to this story anymore. Most of the articles/ comments that have been out there have been beyond vile & disgusting , and that includes some of us projecting on here.

    • truth says:

      I don’t think it is happening either. Jolie is done with Pitt and we want to know what he did but because it involves at some point one of the kids she won’t spill it.
      He has been running around for two weeks enjoying his child wife free life trying to show people he is out and about and moving on. Or who is he really trying to convince. Even all over social media with different people mostly women now he is getting more tats an showing himself doing it at Miravel. How sad is he? He looks so sad in mostly every pic. A
      Angie is in Namibia , a special place, and he isn’t there with his family . That is hurting him. The news is he is getting it on with Sienna M or Elle M this past weekend. My thoughts are so what? He is a lost man right now and will eventually get over it.
      Lastly why would Angie need his money. People forget she is a very independent woman and captain of he own ship Bradley was just on board. I believe she has did very well with the movies in the last 6-7 years. Some say she backend off of Maleficent and Kung Fu Panda. God knows what other monies she has accumulated.

  17. Anna says:

    I see some changes to her appearance which I believe are, in part, due to a bit of weight gain and possibly a much needed decompress period…e.g., things got bad for their relationship for a long period and the end of that brought peace. Also – I think that By the Sea movie caused some real damage to her acting/directing career which must have been tough. As for them as a DIVORCING couple…things must be going well for her to move not 2 miles, but 1 mile from the Pitt compound. I know this not because I am a star stalker, but I AM a real estate stalker. LOL. I google mapped it and they now live 1.1 miles apart which is a very good sign for co-parenting NOT RECONCILIATION which is HIGHLY DOUBTFUL to say the least.

    • Roled says:

      Angelina’s lasting acting and directing gig was By the Sea, which was a triple bomb in terms of acting, directing and writing. She is pretty much back to being a B lister now.

      • YepIsaidiit says:

        But but, Brad has had 4 flops in a row. Is he a b lister?

        By the sea, fury (lost money for the studio) , Allied, war machine.

        How in the world does a Netflix movie bomb?

      • KiddVicious says:

        As an actor, Angelina’s films have grossed 2.1 billion dollars. I don’t think a flop or two will put her at B list.

        And while I was looking that up I looked up Brad’s also. Brad’s films have grossed over 2.7 Billion dollars as an actor.

        They both could drop off the face of the earth and neither one would be considered B list.

      • Roled says:

        @Yep
        Brad’s has flops but not as bad as Angelinas.
        Well what about Jolie’s Netflix movie? You think its gonna make money or get good reviews? She directed 3 movies which did not do well at the box office nor did any of the get good reviews.
        @Kid
        Angelina doens’t have a box office gross of 2.1 billion. You are just reaching now and its really sad.

      • Etienne says:

        Co-directing Netflix movies in rainy Cambodia to pay the rent? Ain’t no Mega Global Superstar Icons got time for that!

      • LadyT says:

        By my definition any way, neither Jolie or Pitt will ever be less than A list regardless of this or that box office number.

      • KiddVicious says:

        @Roled I’m so sorry my comment made you sad, but I didn’t pull that number out of thin air. I’m not an Angelina nor Brad apologist, I don’t have the need to make things up to make one look better than the other. The FACTS are that she’s been acting for over 20 years and has been in a lot of movies including a few blockbuster hits. The money adds up.

      • Lady D says:

        A website called the Numbers, which deals with movie business data, say Angie has brought in $3.1 billion. So you are right, Roled. Her box office isn’t $2.1 billion. (It’s easy enough to check these facts.)

    • bap says:

      @ Role That is a delusional perception of Angelina trying to decrease her status. Angelina is a Mega International Superstar Media has always printed that. A Global ICON.

      • Roled says:

        She is mainly famous for being with Brad Pitt. That is a fact. Where was her career headed before she got with him?
        She isn’t a global icon and never will be. Icons don’t need to co-direct Netflix movies in Cambodia in order to pay the bills like she does.

        What are you trying to prove? The movie flopped and failed miserably at the box office. It got terrible reviews in terms of acting, directing and writing. All of which is on Angelina.
        Please just stop. The movie is a major flop and pretty proves that AJ isn’t the star she used to be.

      • Svea says:

        If income from all sources exceeds the production cost, that is called a loss. PS you didn’t include marketing, which can cost as much as the production.
        When films earn back their production and marketing expenses and then some it is still considered respectable, though not a hit. This was a total flop.

      • bap says:

        @Seva Distribution of the movie was Universal Angelina and Brad were Producers and funded the entire movie. The advertising very little, if you want include magazines spreads.

  18. Roled says:

    I think what she did was despicable, and I think Brad would be a fool to get back with her.
    While he did have issues, so does she. She seems to have rage and mental issues. They way she turned on him so quickly speaks volumes of what kind of woman she is.
    She will have a very hard time finding another man not because she has 6 kids, but because of her past history with how she treats her men. She played very dirty in this divorce and tried hard to smear Brad Pitt has a bad man.
    What man would want a woman like her? She also isn’t extract pretty anymore either. She looks so thin and gaunt now. Like a zombie almost.

    • tracking says:

      At first I doubted her motives, and did dislike the initial leaks from her camp, but the fact that he, at this point, does not have shared physical custody suggests he did royally eff up. And who knows what her issues are (not saying she doesn’t have them, I suspect she does), but he’s the one with documented rage, i.e. the plane incident, so why demonize her in such a one-sided way? Clearly he’s no hero here.

      • YepIsaidiit says:

        Of course she has issues. It’s crazy how his fans love to claim that Angelina fans think she’s a saint. She has the fans she does because she’s admitted to imperfections her whole entire career. He’s been the goody two shoes Ken doll and that’s why people questioned her in the beginning + he used the media against her.

    • Luca76 says:

      Oh please he as much as admitted it was all true and still doesn’t have custody. White male privilege must be wonderful.

    • sendepause says:

      Haha, because being wanted by men is a woman´s only worth. Sure.

    • Carmen says:

      What SHE did?! What about him? Before he finally manned up and admitted the marriage fell apart because of his alcoholism, he was more than content to let her take all the public opprobrium and didn’t even speak up when his fans started blaming their oldest son for the breakup. Talk about despicable…

        @ Carmen You are Speaking the Truth, Some will Not hear it. Carmen you pointed out the biggest reason I consider him a ‘ Coward’. He allowed his wife and son take the abuse from some of public for 8 months Yes, you called it Correctly ‘Despicable’.

      • Lady D says:

        What she did was hide his alcoholism for him and allowed him to live a near perfect life without having to lift a finger to do anything except fill his glass. Years of waking up in the morning and waiting for your partner to wake to see what kind of mood you’ll be in today. Years of coming between his drunk rants and the children who in no way deserved it. Years of him taking off every time something serious happens with his drinking and he doesn’t want to deal with the fallout or because the guilt won’t let him listen to her trying to keep their family together. Years of him ruining the good time they had planned because he was drunk. Years of watching daddy be sloppy drunk gathering his children to tell them how much he loves them, alternated with a yelling rageoholic, scaring, angering, scarring and demoralizing the children he thinks he loves while drunk and in a good mood. Then there’s the relentless enthusiasm when they think they have a great idea. Guaranteed exhausting.
        Have you ever dealt with an alcoholic Roled? Do you know anything about the hell that is life with an alcoholic? Anybody, even you, would have issues after 12 years of that crap.

      Angelina exposed his true Character and his fans disliked her intensely for it.

      • Felicia says:

        Pitt exposed his true character in the way he managed to demonize his first wife for “not giving him kids” as a means of placing the “blame” for that divorce squarely on the shoulders of “that mean, selfish horrible woman who put her career ahead of her husband”.

        He also, let us not forget, gave an interview a few years back blaming his being a pothead sitting on a couch all day on his first marriage. Only now, he’s fessed up to having been that way since college. Aniston was far too nice in how she handled all of that. And I suspect that Jolie is fully aware that if she played nice, he’d attempt to do the same thing to her. He was a coward then who was willing to throw wife #1 under the bus for his own reputation, and he’s still one now. This really shouldn’t surprise anyone.

      • Lady D says:

        That is exactly what happened, Bap.

    • Roled says:

      @Yall
      If Brad had these issues even before he was in Hollywood, then what does that say about Angelina, who was a 29 year old 2 time divorce with a young child at the time, to get involved with him?
      Brad was a married man at the time and Angelina still pursed him despite being a parent to a young child.
      If she was willing to get involved with an alcoholic and start a family with him, then the fault lies with her also.
      Also, why stay for 11 years? Why keep having more kids and adopting them if he was a such a a bad man?
      It’s amazing how nothing ever seems to be at fault with Angelina.
      Wheather it be her routine of going after other woman’s husbands, or not giving her kids any sort of normalcy or stability, or the fact that she made up nasty and serious lies about Pitt being abusive.

      • Keely says:

        You realise you’re blaming Angelina for all of Pitt’s problems right? He’s the one that was married- blame Angelina. He’s the one with a drinking problem – blame Angelina. If according to you the kids have no normalcy and stability- why is that Angelina’s fault & not Brad’s too? Your delusions are scary, seriously get help. If you’re going to comment at least let your comments be rooted in some semblance of cognitive function / reality or better yet find a safe little environment with other loons that share your crazy. Might I suggest ff , but I’m sure you’re a member there already. It’s the insistence of people like you to forever infantalize Pitt that’s a problem- it’s never his fault, yet he’s a 53 year old man…no one here thinks Angelina is perfect- far from it. If this was her issue best believe she’d be called out by all, very loudly. If anyone here thinks she is perfect then they need as much help as you.

    • norah says:

      then good for each of them to go their separate ways by that logic. brad doesnt need or want her right so be it? let them be on their own and have joint custody. if angie has ” issues” then let brad find someone more suitable for himself

      • bap says:

        @Norah He is Not even worthy of Angelina, he is a Coward and has No Honor. It is best Angelina is free of him and will find one day a strong Loyal person that is worthy of her love.

  19. Sage says:

    Funny article. The tabs always make Brad out to be some dumb neanderthal and Angelina some conniving seductress… And they’re not getting back together it’s as clear as the day. Their actions since September show that the relationship is dead and buried. People holding onto hope are like the aniston fans that waited 12 years for their karma LOL, weird.

    Brad has a couple movies he’s preparing to film. He’s looking healthy and happy. His kids live close by and he can see them when he wants. I don’t even think he is trying to get 50-50 custody and is ok with jolie being the primary parent. I can’t see Brad taking care of 6 kids on his own. Lol. I think he bought her out of mirival too.

    • Paige says:

      He didn’t buy her out. An article released about their wine said they are keeping Miraval for the kids. They, not Brad alone. Both of their names are on newest bottle. I would love to know why he has so many films lined up when he said working too much affected his relationship with the kids. Maybe he should have taken some time off when he gets joint custody.

      He will have them 50 percent of the time and it won’t be a walk in the ball park. We’ve seen Angelina handling all six kids when they were together. Yes they have nannies but my point is we’ve never seen Brad handling all six kids without Angelina.

  20. HoustonGrl says:

    It’s strange how you can be so concerned and aware about the real problems in the world and simultaneously pump your face full of fillers.

    • YepIsaidiit says:

      How is that strange. She’s human. She doesn’t want wrinkles. Big deal. At least she continues her good work while Brad’s make it right foundation was being sued because he screwed over native Americans. Oops! Lol

    • bap says:

      Angelina has been working for Refugee causes for over 16 years.

    • Bachelorpod says:

      100 years ago, people shouted “Harlot!” at women who dared wear lipstick in the street. When it comes to beauty treatments, it’s all just a matter of whether you’re ahead of the pack– or behind the times.

  21. GoOnGirl says:

    YepIsaidIt and bap: I do like the thoughts you always express and yes, I do not ever see them getting back together. Although someone should tell other posters at other gossip sites about Pitt not wanting other children. According to some, he’s already married to a younger woman and the younger woman will and does want children. Perhaps someone should let him know And i, for one, am ready for Angie to soar higher than ever on her own terms and in her own way. Without Pitt.

    • YepIsaidiit says:

      Dude, honestly who cares what his fans on other sites say or think. I come on this site and a few others to share My opinion and FACTS. I REALLY don’t care what’s going on with sites i don’t visit.

      And by facts I mean 9 months later he + children are STILL IN therapy [paparazzi caught them visiting a therapist separately a few weeks ago] , Pitt doesn’t have joint custody and doesn’t appear to want it. As bap says actions speak louder than words.

      • KB says:

        Therapy is a process. The children are lucky that they’re able to see a therapist throughout their parents separation. I’m not sure if you intended it, but your comment seems to imply that it’s a bad thing that the family is still in therapy. To me, it’s just proof that they’re truly committed to helping their children navigate through this transition in the most healthy way possible.

      • jwoolman says:

        Sometimes therapy is just to make sure a person (such as the kids) has someone to check in with who is not part of the family, to monitor how they’re doing and to spot potential problems. A friend did this because she had had a history of depression and related issues, even though she was doing fine. Anyway, ongoing therapy doesn’t mean something is terribly wrong. Also they can afford it, so they do it more readily than people with more limited budgets.

    • yepIsaidit says:

      Yeah it sure is no one is saying its not a process. Pitt fans are pretending like nothing happened between him and his kids, so those of us who remember Sh–t went down and we have reciepts remind them. It’s a process to reconcile with your parent after they’re caught abusing you.

      It it wasn’t serious he would already have joint custody, instead he’s traipsing around Europe and now at glastenbary. But let’s pretend like he’s a good guy. I feel like MOST of y’all forgot he has SIX KIDS TO RAISE. Oh well, at least they have their mother who people want to tear down for what she did to her face because that’s more important. Yawn

  22. Alessana says:

    Same narrative as always. Big bad Angie and poor little brad.

  23. Fan says:

    I don’t think so. I am sure Angelina would like to move on. Angie is in love with someone else for a long long time now. He is a good looking guy but married. How I wish that he was not married.

    • bap says:

      @ That is not a Fact Angelina is not in love someone else.

    • Sage says:

      You’re just starting rumours.

    • hannah89 says:

      you’re actually correct.

      he is married and high up in the political scene in the UK.

      people will believe what they want to believe. thats why god exists, after all, even if is as real as unicorn.

  24. Veronica says:

    Amazing, isn’t it? You can basically admit to being an abusive alcoholic, and your ex-wife is still the villain.

  25. Badoosh2678 says:

    She looks like she’s had work done – needs to lay off the fillers

  26. Joannie says:

    Gravity is taking its toll.

  27. Felicia says:

    I think these two were done long before Jolie pulled the plug on their marriage. She was seen coming out of Wasser’s office a couple of times in the spring of last year. Pitt, as was the case with his first marriage, had pretty much checked out and had spent the previous year travelling alone. Those two things together would indicate to me that they were perhaps negotiating a much less contentious end to their marriage until the plane incident happened. Jolie pulled the trigger at that point and Pitt was “blindsided”, likely because he thought they were still in the process of an amicable, “we’ll always love each other” HW style divorce. His first statement after she filed (I don’t remember the wording) indicated total acceptance regarding the marriage being over, that struck me at the time. Being at that stage of “peace” regarding the end of a long-term relationship, especially when you’re publicly being the one who was “dumped” is not somewhere you get to in a day or two.

    I don’t think anyone should be holding their breath at these two ever getting back together. Her willingness to air Pitt’s dirty laundry in her divorce statement indicates to me that she was totally over it. Her initial resistance to the docs being sealed (speaking from a “we’re huge celebrities getting a divorce” point of view) was not the actions of someone harbouring the slightest bit of tenderness

    • LadyT says:

      I agree in general. There were also real estate sources that claimed she was looking/renting the Malibu house prior to the plane incident. That marriage was and is over for good.

      • Keely says:

        The house story was fabricated by the Fail, it’s not true. It’s one of those examples of a lie travelling the halfway around world before…. and now people take it as fact regardless of how many times some of us dispute it. As for Wasser she said until September she had not seen or spoken to Angelina in years. Did you actually see the Malibu house Angelina first rented? because if you had then you would realise that’s not the kind of house someone rents months in advance. It was too public, really expensive… if she had really planned she would have found a much more secure secluded & just better house. It was nice but hardly child friendly, that was a panic rental.

      • LadyT says:

        Fine. Didn’t base my opinion on that single claim anyway. I think in the plane incident was the snapping point for her filing for divorce, not the starting point. If he was off the rails for a while, which seems true to me, I can’t see her tolerating it. And it’s well and truly over. This L&S is pure fiction IMO.

      • Felicia says:

        @keely: I don’t know about the house rental thing or whether it was made up or not. But I distinctly remember reading somewhere around early spring last year that she had been seen meeting up with Wasser. So March or April I guess. I remember thinking it was BS (with a side order of eyeroll at the predictability of tabloid stories) and promptly forgot about it until she filed for divorce after the summer.
        Even if she had rented that house in advance, so what? He’s admitted to having had substance abuse problems since college. Whatever happened on that plane was clearly a line he hadn’t crossed before or she’d have pulled the plug then. That doesn’t mean that she hadn’t had enough or that both of them hadn’t disengaged from their relationship well before. It’s clear they had and were both pursuing different paths, contrary to earlier in their relationship where they rarely travelled without each other. And I can quite easily see Pitt being the sort of person who, once he’s got no dog in the fight, feels like he doesn’t have to even attempt to try. And maybe that’s exactly why he allowed himself to cross that line on the plane. As I understand it, Maddox was defending his mother in relation to a fight she and Pitt were having. Whatever he was saying was ugly enough for their son to step in. There is no love or respect involved when you get to that point. My 2 cents

      • Keely says:

        @Felicia…I’m not disputing your theory regarding their relationship & what did or did not happen. You believe what you want to believe as will the rest of us , that’s your prerogative- you sound perfectly reasonable in your assertions . I’m taking issue with things that were debunked, Wasser actually used words and said she hadn’t seen Angelina in years before September- it’s there in black and white. Google is your friend in that regard. So I don’t get why that’s a disputed issue? Same with the rental, I too would have no issues if she looked at houses before, I’m just telling you, that story was debunked as not true and that she had rented the house the same week if I’m not mistaken.

  28. Bug says:

    First thing I thought looking at these pictures is that she finally looks healthier.

  29. Crumpet says:

    She’s had cheek fillers at the least. It’s to be expected – she is a beautiful woman who is aging, and has the means at her disposal to stave it off as long as possible.

    • Bug says:

      Ha, true! How naive I was, thinking she’d had some pasta and pizza and ice cream in pajama on the couch, like I would have done going through a divorce 😀
      Anyway, she is very beautiful indeed.

  30. Easy D says:

    The projection going on by some super fans never ceases to surprise me. I used to follow the Brad/Angie threads but at this point I’m much less worried about what’s going on with wealthy celebrities and more concerned with what’s happening to our country.

  31. Mermaid says:

    The projection going on in the Brad/Angie threads is pretty strong.

  32. Lind says:

    I saw the pictures, very nice, elegant though understated outfit. I suppose its’s linen to keep cool for that African heat. Her face is puffy because she has suffered ovarian removal so she is technically in menopause, hormones are rearranging themselves and can cause changes. Then I think she has gained some weight and it goes to her face not her body, see pics from when she was younger. Otherwise, she looks fine to me.

  33. tee says:

    Jolie is still gorgeous and why try to be little her or insult her intelligence. Hopefully we will hear something from her in September to settle all these questions.
    Those pics are doctored. Sure she does a little cosmetic tweets her face is her money maker. but she wouldn’t dare overdo it that bad.
