Brad Pitt shows off his scruffy goatee while Angelina wastes away

fp_3624806_enf_pitt_brad_091809

Here’s Brad Pitt arriving for the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. Quentin Tarantino is around too, but no word if any of the other stars from Inglourious Basterds will show up to promote the film. Brad’s still rocking the goatee – but it looks like he may be in the process of growing out a full beard, which might be pretty cool. I know a lot of women don’t care for this kind of scraggy facial hair mess, but I like it. I think guys should either be totally clean shaven, or just let their facial hair be messy. I hate when a bearded man is too groomed, it makes him appear fussy. My favorite messy beard? Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Now that is a who man can rock a scruffy strawberry-blonde beard. Mm…Messy facial hair makes me think of messy, dirty sex. I’m probably alone in that, but whatever. I likes what I likes.

The Daily Mail is claiming Brad left Angelina and the kids “in France” but I’m not sure if that’s true. Angelina and the kids might still be on some kind of holiday in Africa, where they’ve been for more than a week. Last weekend, Angelina visited a refugee camp on the Kenyan border, and then she took Zahara and Shiloh to Ethiopia. Maybe they did go back to France though – I really don’t know. Speaking of Angelina’s refugee camp trip, most of the tabloids are running stories this week about how thin Angelina looked. According to various sources, Angelina has lost weight because of the strain of her relationship with Brad, et cetera. Blah, blah, something about gerbils:

Angelina Jolie’s weight has plunged dramatically – and worried friends blame the shocking weight loss on her unraveling relationship with Brad Pitt.

The 5-foot-7 actress is so stressed out that she’s eating very little, and now her weight is getting close to a pin-thin 100 pounds, according to an insider.

“Angelina is so skinny that you can see the bones. She needs to get help before she wastes away,” confided the insider.

The ENQUIRER first revealed the growing concern over Angelina’s weight in February when she plummeted to 110 pounds. Since then, she’s lost even more weight, said the insider.

The 34-year-old star’s emaciated-looking frame shocked bystanders when she visited a border camp of Somali refugees in Kenya on Sept. 12 in her role as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations.

“Angelina was speaking to refugees who fight starvation every day, yet she looked as thin as many of them,” said the insider. “She was doing an amazing job, as usual, but her friends have noticed sadness in her recently as she struggles to keep her relationship with Brad together. She hardly eats anything.”

“It seems as if they fight all the time. Brad has walked out a number of times, and they were even sleeping in separate beds for a while. It’s like the more Brad pulls away from her, the more weight she loses.”

[From the National Enquirer]

Meh. She looked very thin in the pictures on the UNHCR site, but Angelina is always losing and gaining weight. I think she’s the opposite of a stress-eater, or someone who eats when they’re bored. I think that when things get busy in her life, she doesn’t eat. My other theory is that her body goes haywire after she gives birth, and she loses weight really rapidly. It was around Shiloh’s first birthday that Angelina got drastically thin – and now it’s happened again around the twins’ first birthday. Or maybe I’m wrong, and her thin frame is about bad stuff between her and Brad. Could be. Or maybe the gerbils told her to go on a diet. That’s it! It must have been the gerbils.

    Brad is indeed showing his advancing age. It’s good that he is planning to give up acting for producing films. Angelina needs to give it up now that they have more money than they could need to support and educate, huh? when will they put the kids in school?….If things get tight, they can sell one of the seven mansions they own and live the “green life” they talk about so much. As to Angelina’s weight issue, it’s the same-ole-same-ole cause. She have her favorite pleasure, same as Brad enjoys his brews…Can’t ever be cured, so maintaining clean being is the only way, but can she? I doubt it, she is too self indulgent in her quest for the ultimate hair shirt

  2. Firestarter says:

    Not a good look for Brad! Shave that thing and go back to the handsome face without the facial hair!

  3. DD says:

    She’s admitted to an eating disorder in the past, and you can tell she struggles on and off with it. You don’t get that thin unless you stop eating. It’s a form of control and I bet you she does that when she feels overwhelmed what with her crazy lifestyle. I bet you she hates the media scrutiny of life with Brad as did all his ex’s who were always rail thin when with him.

  4. heh says:

    in 3 months-time he can consider joining ZZ top

  5. alex says:

    damn they should have never gotten those gerbils lol. This is what happen when you bring gerbils into your home, they become the “insiders” for the tabs lol

    I like that look on Brad. I think he is probably growing it out for a movie

  6. Crankypants says:

    She doesn’t look 100 pounds to me. Exceedingly thin, but not 100 pounds. I am 2 inches shorter than she is and slightly scrawnier than she is (due to cancer treatments) and I clock in at about 104. I would say she’s between 107 and 110, which is still WAY too skinny. And I completely agree with DD: it’s a form of control. A house full of kids and a rapidly disentigrating relationship and I’m guessing she’s trying to control the only thing she can – her eating and appearance. It’s a shame, she is so much prettier when her face and curves are slightly fuller. I’m sure Brad doesn’t want to have the sexy times with skelator.

  7. Praise St. Angie! says:

    those damn gerbils of doom…

    yeah, I agree…shave that beard and let us see that handsome (albeit wrinkled) face.

    I’ve noticed that Jolie’s weight does fluctuate a lot…I think it’s true that when she’s busy or stressed, she doesn’t eat. very unhealthy but I’ve been there and I know how it happens.

  8. Amy says:

    Wow kids and Angelina have really aged him.

  9. the original kate says:

    yeah, when your elbow is the widest part of your arm, you are too thin.

  10. Teri says:

    Excuse me? Angelina isn’t wasting away by any means, women who are on the cat walk and in movies are just as skinny. I’m sure she can lift weights and get some muscle to her small petite frame but waste away is going to far. I get so sick of people wanting her to be unhealthy!!! @@ Even if she gained ten pounds the haters would also complain.

  11. anna says:

    Teri – the majority of the “women who are on the cat walk” are teenagers and have just shot up to 6ft tall, so yeah, they’re scrawny (I was one of those girls, btw and the average age range is 15 – 19, not exactly a “woman’s” body).

    Angelina is incredibly thin, and I don’t know any woman who is “healthy” with that extreme level of skinniness and simultaneous lack of muscle tone. A godly anomaly perhaps?

  12. princess pea says:

    It occurs to me that if he took of the silly hat and chose a different-ish pair of sunglasses, that beard could’ve been really useful for going undercover as a normal guy. It really changes the shape of his face.

    Silly Brad, going to a premiere that way; now it will never work…

  13. DD says:

    She could be sick, otherwise she has an eating disorder. I know about eating disorders because mine emerges from time to time. I’m already very thin normally like she is normally but from time to time I drop down to the way she looks now and it is because I am eating too little, the people around me will tell me how unhealthy I look and usually after a while I get tired of feeling weak and I go back to normal. So yes either she has an eating disorder or she has another physical ailment.

  14. lucy says:

    Yuck, not a good look on him. Movie star or deranged mountain man, take your pic.
    AJ is really skinny. I agree it’s some sort of eating disorder or stress or something that stops her from eating, but it does not look healthy and really ages her. If she had always been that skinny I’d say it’s just how she is, because there are people who have a hard time keeping their weight up, but she has NOT always been that skinny. Go back to a few years ago, around the Mr & Mrs Smith time, and that’s when she looked her best. Probably a good 10-15 lbs. more at least.

  15. RobN says:

    If you’re the thinnest person in a group of starving refugees, it’s time to get some help.

  16. Ana says:

    It is scary how thin she is. I am a fa and would like to see about 20 more pounds on her frame.
    But I am kind of like that as well. Sometimes I forget to eat.

  17. lrm says:

    rumored heroin for AJ’s favorite ‘pleasure’ as mentioned by another poster….

  18. Jag says:

    I wonder if her skinniness has anything to do with her mindset of not letting Zahara eat cookies because starving children wouldn’t be eating cookies? I remember reading that from a long time ago, and was concerned that she wasn’t letting Zahara be a kid. It could translate into her not eating because she was going to be seeing people who hadn’t been eating, either.

  19. lucy says:

    I can understand not wanting to show up there looking like you’ve been pigging out on Big Macs all week, but being really underweight doesn’t help anyone. She needs to be healthy for her own sake, and to have the proper energy to do this sort of traveling and humanitarian work she wants to do. Plus she should want to set a good, healthy example for her own children.

  20. Anak says:

    The old and ugly Pitt-potty-head and the biggest forehead on town! The weight she lost, he found.

  21. Joe says:

    Angelina had said in an interview once that she feels “less guilty” by staying really thin when visiting these people in impoverished countries but my question to her would be “how is starving yourself helping them more” ???

  22. Prissa says:

    The poster above me took the thoughts right out of my mind. It would make sense (to her) that she whittle away the weight when visiting the impoverished countries. I think that is most likely the cause.

  23. Fat Elvis says:

    I’m sure I’ll get slammed big time for this one, but I really have to ask: If Angelina feels guilty about being at a healthy weight while visiting impoverished countries, why doesn’t she also feel concerned about living in several lavish mansions and flying around in private jets?

  24. Anak says:

    Ah!!! If she visits a hospital she should get ill, or a doctor. If she visits a church she should turn a nun, because a sinner she is already. I got it.

  25. Fat Elvis says:

    Why am I in mod? Lemme try this again …

    I’m sure I’ll get slammed big time for this one, but I really have to ask: If Angelina feels guilty about being at a healthy weight while visiting impoverished countries, why doesn’t she also feel concerned about living in several lavish mansions and flying around in private jets?

  26. crash2GO2 says:

    I agree it’s the stress probably. She’s been through a lot in the past couple of years and if the rumors about her relationship with Brad are true, that could certainly be a contributing factor. It used to be that whenever I was uber stressed I simply could not eat. Period. It had nothing to do with wanting to look thin – my stomach was simply too knotted to take in any more than just a nibble or two every now and again.

  27. alex says:

    put up a Brad and Angie thread and boom here come the crazies lol

  28. DonnaInMichigan says:

    Brad Pitt, looks like he’s channeling his inner Joaquin Phoenix.

  29. hmm says:

    I don’t believe this story any more than I believe the Aniston/Mayer story in In Touch.

  30. bigelle says:

    Back to Brad – ‘Now that is a who man can rock a scruffy strawberry-blonde beard.’ I beg your pardon!? Erm, definately NOT a good look for him I’m afraid

  31. Cinderella says:

    Oh well. Even if her relationship is unraveling, she’s not at home whining about it. She’s out there making other people happy so I’ll give her that.

  32. bigelle says:

    BTW is it just me showing my age or is anyone else channelling Baby ZZTop Reunion?

  33. vokable says:

    He has never been as unattractive as it is today.
    Angelina has made him old.

  34. fred says:

    Brad is with Tarentino …. they take drugs?
    Brad is drunk again?
    He holds a can of beer!

  35. cee says:

    Just because In Touch and L & S started all these skinny rumores. She was at the IB premier in August and she looked great. So give it a rest. Stop believing the tabloids.

  36. redred2 says:

    Brad needs to shave it, or trim it.It looks a mess. Angelina needs to eat, or go to rehab if she’s on drugs again. I really do not think it has anything to do with Brad. It’s either an eating disorder, or drugs. Both of them look like they have some sort of a substance abuse problem in these latest pictures.

  37. redred2 says:

    Fat Elvis- You sound logical to me 🙂

    &DonnaInMichigan , LOL

    cee: I believe MY EYES. Yes she does good work , but she is TOO DAMN THIN. There’s no need to be in denile. Her heath is important. She looks ill.

    It’s DRUGS people. Remember when Whitney Houston went to looking like a crack head? Same thing here. They both do drugs & do them in the house (Brad has admitted to doing drugs @ his home) while the kids are there.

  38. DoMaJoReMc says:

    YUCK! What the hell happened to him? Oh, ya, that’s right….SHE happened to him. Ick!~

  39. blunt says:

    How can Angelina raise 6 kids, maintain relationship with Brad, travel to third world countries, and work on movie sets and be on drugs? How? We all know Angelina did drugs in the past, but she wasn’t a junkie. I just don’t think its possible, given all that she does, including traveling! to be high and keep up that lifestyle for the past 4 years. I think Angelina has TOO much to do. She forgets to eat, or maybe skips meals because she has to do this or that, and slowly she starts to lose weight. The same thing happens to me all the time. In fact that is a sure fire way (albeit unhealthy) to lose weight. She never admitted to an eating disorder, that’s a lie, but she needs to slow down.

  40. Cheyenne says:

    Fat Elvis: If Angelina feels guilty about being at a healthy weight while visiting impoverished countries, why doesn’t she also feel concerned about living in several lavish mansions and flying around in private jets?
    ***********************************************

    Why should she feel guilty about it? She’s paying for it.

  41. Cheyenne says:

    Eating disorder… or drugs… or neither.

    When I was Angie’s age I weighed 107 lbs, and I’m as tall as she is. I wasn’t doing drugs nor did I have an eating disorder. I just had a small appetite and a metabolism that was off the charts.

    Once Angie hits her 40s, her metabolism will go south and her weight will go north. It’s nature.

  42. mystic_aqua says:

    Angelina has NEVER admited to an eating disorder!! Yeah, this is a LIE!!

    And also, the UN give random drug test’s to their Goodwill Ambassador’s!! So, Angelina CANNOT be on drugs!!

    The haters are just Pathetic, because they always see the worse on Angelina!! Yeah, this haters are so Judgmental and CANNOT see that Angelina has change for the better!!

    FYI: I cannot believe that people (mostly, the Haters) STILL believe what “In Touch”, “Star” or “Style & Style” say about the Brange when time after time this tabloids have been proven to be wrong!!

  43. Cheyenne says:

    How long does it take for a relationship to unravel? According to the tabloids Brad and Angie have been “unraveling” for the past two and a half years. Either he’s leaving her or she’s leaving him or they’re both leaving each other. “According to friends?” Yeah, right, like anyone they know would talk to the tabloids.

    Frankly, I blame those damn gerbils for everything.

  44. right says:

    Right on Fat Elvis and Former Fan.

    Guilt schmuilt, these two don’t have guilt in their nauseating life of hypocrisy. And favorite pleasure indeed. Meanwhile, the “crazies” are out. The crazy trolls with their crazy explanations.

  45. Linda says:

    Last time I looked Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were grown. They do not have to answer to anyone on how they want to live their lives.

    If Brad wants to grow a beard and get fat, he can, if Angelina wants to get skinny, she can. It is their lives, they do not have to defend, explain their lives.

    If Brad wants to drink and do drugs, he is an adult, the same with Angelina. What they do inside the privacy of their homes is their business.

  46. Heavenbound says:

    Angelina Pre-Brad had normal weight and she seemed a lot funner than she is now and the same for Pitt he has aged at a very rapid pace He’s beard is gray and he looks miserable all the time. Sorry but at the red carpet and most of their pictures together seem phony when they smile…. I think that they are with each other for the kids. Their fans make fantasies in there heads of how great they are buy I just don’t see it. AND NO I’M NOT A JA FAN (so save it!)

  47. Linda says:

    How do the haters know so much about what is going on in Brad and Angelina lives. The haters seem to have an unhealthy facination with this couple.

    To hate someone so much, but yet have so much to say about them and keep up with their every move is a sign of mental illness.

  48. itsybitsy says:

    maybe she’s not eating a lot because she’s going to refugee camps and seeing people who don’t have enough food. it’d be pretty hard for me to eat in that situation. idk, it always seems like she loses weight when she travels a lot. (added by Mobile using Mippin)

  49. itsybitsy says:

    btw… I don’t mean that she’s being logical. haha I really don’t think angelina or brad think things through all that carefully. also, it might not be a conscious decision because travel in general seems to do this to her.

  50. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    What Fat Elvis said plus another ‘aye’ to the heroin theory. Addicts don’t get high from heroin, they use in order to function normally.

  51. TwinkleToes says:

    #1, Brad’s advancing age? What, we’ve gotta look out so he doesn’t break a hip? Make sure he’s taking all his medication? Get him a life alert bracelet? “Help, I’m Drunk & I can’t get up!”

  52. eternalcanadian says:

    yeah, saw some recent pics of angelina. she’s back to the skin and bones stage which means her life is out of control again. i’ve noticed when she’s happy and things are going good in her life like with brad and the kids she looks healthier and has more weight on her frame. when things are crappy, off comes the weight and she looks awful.

    brad isn’t looking peachy keen too. what’s up with that narsty beard crap? he looks so old in those pictures!

  53. fred says:

    Had he a dose beer in his hand?

    Ohh poor Angelina,
    why you have not taken Colin??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  54. Anonymous says:

    Brad was so thin and yong 2007. And now!
    This is so creepy!!!

  55. cassie says:

    Angie was as thin Pre Brad look at pics from the Beyond Borders days. I don’t believe anything ouofatouch or lies and style. Provide the link of Angie saying she had a eating disorder please and not some tabloid claiming she said it.Btw I would like to see her 20 lbs heavier.

  56. Just Amanda says:

    54 comments for a story that has an opening paragraph contemplating whether or not Brad should grow a beard?

  57. Mave says:

    They are the two biggest attention seekers in Hollywood. Poor kids to have self-absorbed parents like them. Well I guess many other kids have it way worse.

  58. Whatever says:

    What a dumbazz!

    Should have stayed with Jen, she looks so young and full of life.

    I guess Jen is saying I told you so!

  59. DD says:

    I’m not going to dig too deeply but in a lot of bio information on her along with her knifeplay and vial wearing easy stuff to find. Even on an eatingdisorder website there’s a snippet about it:

    http://www.eating-disorder-information.com/mediacelebrities.php

    “In her younger years, actress Angelina Jolie battled an eating disorder. She also admitted to cutting herself in the past and that she used to hurt herself as a way of coping.”

    Why would it surprise some of you that she does, cutting and eating disorders often go hand in hand, and we all know she had a self destructive past. You don’t get to a skin and bones stage by eating normally, and in order for her to get that skinny from going on a humanitarian trip she’d have to plan to not eat weeks in advance, she’s only there for a few days, she wouldn’t drop that much weight in a few days guys, common sense.

  60. cassie says:

    Brad wanted a large family Jen wanted 2 at the most. Jen is fine tanning in Mexico, living the single life and Brad is fine Traveling the world, being a father . Let’s all move on Please its approaching 5 years since the split

  61. 4Real says:

    Please stop with the whole Angie looks too thin. The media has been saying that for years. Why do people have to voice concern? It’s more sad to see homeless and poor people who are skinny than some rich celebrity that’s skinny by choice. If she’s not skinny by choice and she has an illness, then for the sake of her children I’m sure she’ll see a doctor, get treated and get healthy. All this weight speculation is sooooooo boring. Either celebs are too skinny or too fat. Who cares? I guess this week it’s Brad’s beard and last week it was his drinking.

  62. auntie git says:

    Having friends and friends of friends who travel to countries with high starvation rates, I know it is not uncommon for people to eat less as a result. I remember when I came back from Zimbabwe one time, I felt like puking when I saw ALLLLLL that FOOD in our grocery stores. People who go more often, for long periods and to more affected areas than I did may and probably often do develop some eating disorders as a result. I don’t think this is DEFINITELY related to her relationship, but who really can know except Angelina herself?!

    What is the final story on whether she has admitted to having anorexia? Yes or no?

  63. skibunny says:

    Halloween is Oct 31st Brad. You look hilarious.

  64. MichelleMuko says:

    Can all the fat people leave skinny celebs alone? One can never be too skinny or too rich. Ange looks amazing. You knw u r looking good when your collarbone and elbows protrude

  65. Aron Burgey says:

    You may perhaps Nike Jordan Store have certainly not intended to do so, but I believe you have managed to express the state of thoughts that lots of men and women are throughout. The sense of wanting to aid, and not knowing how or exactly where, is some thing many us coping.

  66. Phil Deaver says:

    I will be genuinely impressed Nike Jordan Store using the top quality of your weblog. It really is straightforward to establish that you’re passionate about your writing.
