Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made a public appearance together at an LA art gallery exhibit opening on 8/23. They admired the black and white photographs but didn’t seem to be thrilled with the paparrazi. It’s a shame the US won’t provide the militia required to support their privacy needs. George Clooney was at the exhibit too.

Maybe the gossip rags will take a week off from speculating that they’re fighting, breaking up, or sleeping apart now that they showed up to something as a couple. No wonder Angelina has such a smug look on her face. I wouldn’t put it past her to leave the hottest piece of male ass on the planet, though. She never seems quite satisfied with stability.

Meanwhile Brad is said to be building a huge house in Missouri to be closer to his folks, who now are said to hate Angelina. Fat chance she’ll spend any time there, but Brad does love building houses:

You know, my mother in law takes over everything when she visits. She cooks every meal, rearranges the house, and cleans everything. The woman doesn’t sit down. She even trims and repots my plants. You think I would be grateful, but she’s a guest and should ask me if she can organize my entire kitchen and leave knicknacks around the house. When I try to talk to her about it all normal-like, she thinks I’m tactless, too.

The point is that I wanted to bitch about her, and to say that maybe Angelina isn’t doing anything wrong. She may just be being herself and Brad’s family is pissed that she’s not sucking up to them like Aniston, and isn’t jumping to take their meddling advice about how to raise her kids. It’s normal not to get along with your in-laws.

A new article in Life and Style claims that as Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear’s high-profile divorce is close to reaching a settlement, Richie is having second thoughts and realizes how much he loves his wife of 11 years. He even sent a $500 pink and red rose bouquet to Heather.

Wow. He must realize what he’s missing with Heather. Sambora was said to be totally surprised to be served divorce papers this February and even denied to the press that he and Heather were split. Maybe he’s not ready to let go.

If that’s true, it’s got to piss off his media-whore girlfriend, Denise Richards. Denise recently reached an amicable “interim” settlement with her ex, Charlie Sheen, who she famously skewered in the press on the eve of his children’s clothing line launch. Denise didn’t renew a restraining order against Sheen and according to their lawyers they’re getting along.

Denise and Richie were said to be planning a wedding for early next year, and Denise was seen wearing what looked like an engagement ring. She followed Richie to Europe while he was touring with Bon Jovi and seemed really needy in the relationship. If this is true then he’s obviously sick of her. Men don’t usually like women who hang all over them.

Courteney Cox says that Jennifer Aniston is a great friend that she can rely on in a crisis:

Cox recently revealed that she had some trouble in her marriage to funnyman David Arquette and that they wisely sought counseling to straighten it out.

She also adamantly denies that Aniston is engaged to Vaughn:

I bet Vaughn and Aniston are broken up already. Either that or they’re fighting constantly. Neither of them look happy together in the rare paparrazi photos that come out.

Star reports that Aniston and Vaughn are having trouble because Aniston doesn’t want kids, but that’s probably just speculation.
