It’s no matter that the National Enquirer got there first, or that the Enquirer’s version was so wrong that Brad and Angelina denied it, because most of the tabloids are running stories about Brad and Angelina’s impending split. Star’s version is even worse than the Enquirer’s though – at this point, it’s like the tabloids are trying to one-up each other with how gross they can make their split stories.
This version… I’m not going to lie, if any of this report is true, Brad Pitt is a truly disgusting man and Jennifer Aniston needs to get a life. It’s doubtful that there’s a shred of truth to it, however. Star has Brad whining to Jennifer Aniston non-stop, and Jennifer listening and waiting patiently for Brad to dump Angelina. I suppose the subtext is that Brad can just up and leave Angelina, take the six kids and reunite with Jennifer, creating the perfect Angelina-less family. According to Star, Brad calls up Jennifer to whine about his non-existent sex life with Angelina, how Angelina makes him feel “trapped” and “tense”. The grossest statement is: “He’s turning to [Jennifer] for comfort and advice as the chill between him and Angie grows.”
It’s still on! So what if Angelina Jolie went ballistic when she caught Brad Pitt talking to Jennifer Aniston. Star learned that Brad is still very much in touch with Jen – and she’s become his shoulder to cry on as he reveals intimate details of his rocky relationship with Angie.
“Brad told Jen, ‘I feel trapped,’” a source tells Star. “He says he can’t leave, but he doesn’t want to stay. He’s been confiding in Jen a lot lately… He’s really struggling. He loves the kids, but the constant traveling, the endless film shoots and Angie wanting more kids… the tension between them is taking its toll.”
The showdowns between Brad and Angie are getting so bitter that their sex life is non-existent,” a Pitt family friend tells Star. And they’re back to separate bedrooms again.
“Brad says he hasn’t slept with Angie for weeks. She gets ready for bed alone and locks the door to their bedroom and won’t let him in!”
The couple spent the weekend of May 30 thousands of miles apart. Angie stayed on the East Coast, filming Salt, while Brad partied in LA at Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards.
Jen was also in LA, attending a party at Tom Hanks’ house, and she left Brad a message on his cell asking him to meet her for lunch.
“Brad returned her call to say he thought that would be great,” says a source. But before they could meet, Brad got the inevitable call from Angie, demanding he fly back to New York right away.
Frustrated Brad needs Jen more than ever, insiders say. He’s turning to her for comfort and advice as the chill between him and Angie grows. He’s told her that despite his devotion to his kids, he feels penned in.
“If he could take off, he would. But he knows he can’t, and it’s tearing him up inside,” says a family friend.
“Brad told Jen in one heart-wrenching phone call that he feels he has to be there for his boys,” the friend continues. “They look up to him so much. And the girls, Zahara and Shiloh, are his little angels. He adores them. Shiloh, especially, is daddy’s little girl. And Knox and Viv are growing so fast and demand his attention. He can’t stand the thought of not seeing these kids every day.”
The only person Brad feels he can turn to right now, says a source, is his ex-wife. “They text, they talk – it’s like she’s his lifeline,” the source says. “She want him to know that she’s still there for him.”

So, is any of this true? Star and In Touch wrote and published their stories before Brangelina’s formal split-denial, if you put stock into formal denials. I tend to think this is just yet another sad, pathetic “Brad and Jennifer are reuniting” story, in a long line of similar stories over the past four years. If it was just about the eternal uncool Bermuda Triangle, all adults, it wouldn’t be so gross, in my opinion. What disturbs me is all of the stuff about the kids, and the idea that Brad is discussing leaving or taking his children.
