Enquirer: Is Angelina forcing Brad into rehab for his reefer addiction?

nationalenquirercover
Another day, another Brangelina drama. With the Jolie-Pitt family out of the public eye, safely ensconced in their French chateau, it seems this week’s tabloids are going to have a field day with some new reports about all of the problems in their relationship. We’ve already seen OK! Magazine’s cover story this week – that Angelina locked Brad out of the bedroom, and he had to sleep on a couch. Because the chateau has 30-odd rooms, and apparently Brad could find another bed or something. Oh, and Brad is fat too. Nice. It’s like the tabloids were written by middle-schoolers. The Enquirer is taking a more hardcore approach – their cover story this week is about Angelina’s rehab ultimatum to Brad. Basically, she’s telling him he needs to get professional help for his reefer addiction or she’s gone:

Get clean or get out – that’s the stinging ultimatum Angelina Jolie issued to Brad Pitt after hearing that the Inglourious Basterd had secretly shared hashish with a celeb pal while his children were asleep in bed, say sources.

“Stop boozing and smoking drugs or check into rehab!” she told him, according to insiders.

A self-confessed stoner when married to Jennifer Aniston, Brad had promised Angelina his drug-using days were over after he became a dad – and she believed him.

But during a recent interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino revealed he’d smoked hash with Brad when he traveled to France to convince him to do the film – at the same time Angelina was giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne!

“Tarantino’s interview allowed Angie to catch Brad getting high, and she EXPLODED,” said a close source.

“She gave him a choice – give it up or GET OUT! She made it very clear that she didn’t want drugs anywhere near their kids and she said that this was an issue where there weren’t any other options open to him if he wanted their relationship to continue.”

[From the National Enquirer]

Good Lord, it’s like the Enquirer’s new staff writer is Dr. Drew! Look, we can debate whether marijuana is a gateway drug, but can we all agree that casually smoking some joints a few times a month does not make you a reefer addict? Personally, I don’t think Brad has a problem with marijuana… drinking, maybe, but marijuana, not so much. When I first saw the Enquirer’s headline, I honestly thought the “rehab” would be for Brad’s drinking. I don’t want to have to turn in my Brangeloonie Badge, but even I look at these many, many pictures of a sh-tfaced-looking Brad and wonder if he’s drinking too much. Even the Enquirer’s cover photo is of Brad looking drunk, not stoned. If they put a picture of Brad looking high on the cover, they might have to photoshop out the Dorito crumbs.

    Addiction? Unlikely.

    He probably just enjoys a toke now and then.

    But do I believe that Angie might not be a fan? Yes. I do.

    I only have a dog and I flip out if people smoke around him and I wouldn’t ever date a man who smokes (cigarettes included! Gross) but that is my personal preference on a life partner and frankly, if my friends want to toke out (and they do…a lot LOL) by all means, let them!

    Heck, we should legalize Marijuana in all honesty. I don’t buy that it’s a gateway drug. I can see the arguments on it, but there’s no control group in these experiments, because you can’t prove that the people doing hard drugs, wouldn’t have already done them anyway weed or no weed and we’ve already seen proof of people who smoke and never touch any other drug. And then there are those who just do Coke and never touch weed.

    (Edit: Sorry if I sound disjointed, trying to jam out a lot of thoughts while also working lol)

  2. Bubulle says:

    Isn’t AJ a rumoured heroine addict so I guess she will probably share a room in rehab with Brad. This story is BS.

  3. Really... says:

    Let’s see —
    He is a ex-wife lovin’, drunken addict.
    She is a bro-lovin’, dominating workaholic shrew.
    Maddox longs for daddy AND peace.
    Pax is…just Pax.
    Zahara is the house dictator.
    Shiloh is sad.
    The twins live in plastic bubbles.

    Now all they have to do is give us some gossip on the gerbils, and we should be good til the summer’s end.

  4. For Sooth? says:

    Enquirer has gotten a lot of stories correct these days, as a lot of us have noted on this site. So why couldn’t this be true???
    Let’s be frank. He’s losing his looks, he has looked sh*t faced in the tabs quite a bit lately, Tarantino outted him about other drugs and he loves him some gateway reefer, legality issue aside. So what makes this story NOT believable Kaiser? Oh yeah, the annoying fact that it’s Brad and St. Angie. I say this story has legs.

  5. alex says:

    oh wow “Really” knows what goes on inside the JPs household, maybe he/she is the “inside source” the tabs are always quoting lol

  6. alex says:

    so NE got a couple stories right, so now they are the “truth bible”. Aren’t they the same tab that have Liz Taylor and Patrick S. on their death beds for a year now?

  7. Dan says:

    smoke drugs

  8. Mandy says:

    So a guy gets high with his friend, no kids around. So what? The only problem here seems to be that Tarantino couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

    LOL @ photoshopped Dorito crumbs!

  9. bronlo says:

    Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Mr. CLEAN!!!

    What a JOKE! He is a liar! Ever!

  10. Really... says:

    It’s not me, it’s the gerbils, man.
    They’re like friggin’ G-Force.
    They torture the nannies, assistants, bodyguards,etc

  11. Diane says:

    LMAO = ) “New staff writer is Dr. Drew.”

    (It must be beautiful in Southern France at this time, sigh)

  12. cristiano says:

    You guys are saying that the NE got a “COUPLE” of stories right??
    HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Which ones????????
    the National Enquirer ONLY got the Jonh Edwards story right and that it’s!! They are FULL OF SH*T!!

  13. dee says:

    I’m tired of reading about these two idiots….

  14. mystic_aqua says:

    You are right; cristiano…

    Because the NE only got right that story on J.Edwards, but besides this story; NE is always wrong!!

  15. anna says:

    I don’t buy the story, and I’m pro-legalization, but I was shocked when tarantino talked about pitt pulling out the brick of hash to shave some off… like who keeps that lying around?

  16. Annie says:

    like who keeps that lying around?

    College kids.

  17. bob lawblaw says:

    I’ve got a question, why isn’t alcohol deemed the mother of all the gateways?

    Bud is only a gateway drug because you have to go through back alleys to get it– so chances are, your weed guy sells more than weed, and probably makes a lot more off of coke. If it were legalized and could be purchased casually (OTC), no way would you ever see it labeled as such.

    people are so full of preconceived notions about weed, it blows my mind.

    and anna– if given the fortunate circumstances of Brad Pitt, my entire closet would be filled with bricks from Morocco 🙂

  18. Annie says:

    Nah. It’s a gateway because the controllers of the lumber industry needed to label it as something negative in order to keep Hemp out of the picture.

  19. bob lawblaw says:

    Annie, they slandered it as a deadly drug, not a gateway drug, that came about later.

    And it couldn’t have been the lumber industry, if anything, cotton. You’d be hard pressed to have a cannabis plant replace an actual tree.

  20. Dana says:

    Let a brutha blaze up – he’s grown. If AJ had waited to GET TO KNOW HIM, there would be no issue now. Gimme some Brad, and I will load the bowl for him. And light it, too!

  21. Lys says:

    Drunk Pitt-potted-head! Get lost!

  22. karie says:

    wow, these Brad/Angelina stories always bring out the total morons–who make such enlightening comments like, “he’s a potty head!” Hysterical. Maybe, a third-grader might be amused with that. Now, go back to your room and take your meds.

  23. Wresa says:

    This headline made me bust out laughing it was so funny! So Tarantino made some comment, and now pot is a BIG PROBLEM in their marriage lol. We all know most of this celeb crap is fake, but can’t the NE at least TRY to make it sound real?!

  24. Beth says:

    I don’t know which is dumber, the story or the post that says the National Enquire is almost always right. Kaiser I don’t know why you keep saying Brad is an alcoholic. There are not many, many pictures of Brad drunk. It’s pretty much just a few pictures all of blogs and tabloids use. Also a lot of the “drunk” photos are at industry events like award shows and premieres. Amusing how he’s with the same people yet only he’s called an alcoholic. A lot of these celebrity “drunk/high” photos are of them just being blinded by lights, talking, or some other innocent reason. You can tell because the just before/after photos/video the celebrity looks/acts completely normal.

  25. Lys says:

    I slept in his movie. May be because of the pot.

  26. oh my says:

    their chateau only has 30 rooms? I wonder if that’s why goopy needs to create a mansion with 33. . .

  27. Bodhi says:

    Pot is not addictive. It just isn’t. At all.

  28. Shannon says:

    Pot is not PHYSICALLY addictive, it’s true. That’s why there are so few pot addicts. But there is a slight possibility for a psychologically based addiction.

    Honestly, I smoke pot regularly and I’m on the dean’s list. Used in moderation, it’s pretty damn harmless.

    I’m quite sure Angelina (a self-professed ex heroin user) knows the difference between a little weed and hard drugs.

  29. Firestarter says:

    I bet if the story were about Aniston going to rehab, everyone would be saying the Enquirer is the gospel and that she needed to be in rehab for her “addiction”, but since it’s Pitt we are discussing, the story is all lies, and even if it was true, Brad is not addcited.

    Love how when it comes to Pitt and Jolie, everything negative is a lie.

  30. carrie says:

    Firestarter, I just read your post where you went after a Brangelooney for bringing up Aniston in a Jolie thread.
    “43.Firestarter: August 20th, 2009 at 6:14 pm And again, Aniston is brought up when the article isn’t even about her. Jeez!”
    Yet, you do EXACTLY the same thing??? Not everything revolves around your Aniston obsession. Get over it.

  31. Cheyenne says:

    NE usually gets their stories about politicians correct because they know they will get their asses sued off if they are caught printing lies. But they can say anything they want about celebrities, because celebrities almost never sue, no matter how outrageous or slanderous their story is.

  32. Aussie says:

    What a crock of sh*t!
    Angie used to be a junkie, heroin addict etc.
    Like she wouldn’t love the reefer herslef.
    They’re both into it and good on them. Alcohol is a hell of a lot more destrutive in society and legal. People sit around and talk when they’re on hooch, they’re not violent!

  33. lucy2 says:

    The story sounds like BS (though he does seem to like to party – to which I’d say whatever, but he should stop playing holier than thou and claiming he’s quit all that because of the kids). But I have to say, those are some of the WORST photos I’ve ever seen of the two of them!!!

  34. gg says:

    Alcohol is way more dangerous than weed. WAY more.

  35. Mimi says:

    Beth you are entirely RIGHT I have read many blogs and most simply calls Brad’s alcoholic from photos of him drinking “gasp” at parties after the film premiers. Certainly when it comes to these 2 there is a famous line 2 weights and 2 measures but only for them because i’m sure no one that dislike him/her commenting here or writing a article here or on other blogs drink at parties, they probably go to pray. Until they show me a video of Brad being loaded’ll i call it all this BS and.
    And I would love to read your comments on a blog because some of this blogs dosen’t make any effort to make sense anymore. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion and shoulbe exercised there but the lack of awareness about what we are talking about in some blogs is ridiculous but is likely to draw the attention of people blinded by hatred for a person who does not know or blinded by fanaticism exaggerated to defend people they also do not know

  36. Mairead says:

    The same Angelina that blind items had as being back on the horse? Whatever.

    I doubt he’s drinking much more than he used to – it’s just as he’s getting older he’s maybe not able to handle it as well. And the point about the camera flashes is a valid one.

  37. Ursula says:

    He has a serious drink and drug problem, it does not take a rocket scientist to see that. Almost always, he looks stoned and out of it. No one smokes casually when their form of entertaining guests is to bring out some bong. Dude has a problem. But with 6 kids in three years, intense public scrutny, living a farce a demanding baby momma, this si not surprising.

  38. Shanny says:

    A heroine addict telling a pot head to go to rehab, right. I am sure that really happened.

  39. lway says:

    I bet the NE staff have their own bedrooms and bathrooms in the Jolie-Pitt home. They seem to know eveything about everybody.

    What bullshit.

  40. Lys says:

    Pitt-Potty-head-always-drunk and SATAN-gelina are the best!

  41. captain america says:

    you are familiar with the movie:
    ……..LIAR LIAR?

  42. chew says:

    He looks so old 😮

  43. Firestarter says:

    Why is it when people go against the grain here they are obsessed with Aniston. I made a comment, I have never defended Aniston and Carrie, you need a life if you have to go back and do research on who says what on a gossip blog. I mean really.

    *opens notebook to scribble everyone’s comments in for furture use/ref*

    “Back in Nov. 2008 at 3:11pm you said……….”

  44. whatever says:

    Firestarter, you’re just mad that someone called you out on your bs. You go around calling people out on what they say, BUT when someone does it to you–uh-oh, watch out. And, telling someone else they “need a life”? That’s like a drug addict telling others to get off the smack. You are around here as much as anyone. Seriously hypocritical.

  45. ash says:

    So, fire it’s ok for you to bring up Jen Aniston on a Brad/Ang thread, because you are going ‘against the grain’? But noone else can do that?
    ok.

  46. Cindy says:

    Angelina has got some nerve getting mad at Brad for his pot habit. What about her constant heroin use. She has really got alot of nerve.

  47. Peter M. Arel says:

    Brad should start acting like a TYRANT AND BEHAVE IN SUCH A
    WAY AS TO DRIVE ANGELINA AWAY FOR KEEPS!ANGELINA WOULD BE TOO BITCHY FOR ME!

  48. Peter M. Arel says:

    I’m hoping that if Brad makes a movie again it will be in his home State of Missouri.I’m hoping that he’ll meet somebody there who’s 180 degrees the opposite of Angelina Jolie; who will accept him as he is and love him too;I’ll bet Brad Pitt is already wishing he’d NEVER left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina!
