Sources don’t cut it – Brad and Angelina need to make a statement

As we reported just previously, News of the World was the latest to report Brad Pitt and Angelina jolie are about to breakup. According though to the London tabloid things have gone so far that the pair have met with a high profile Los Angeles law firm, to hash out an amicable division of their vast fortune and custody of their six kids, even though they’re not married, and an announcement of their split is imminent. Not surprisingly other sources including one from People Magazine say “everything is fine” with the marriage. So sources cut both ways and why should we take this new rumor seriously. Well that’s an individual decision, but the fact is this new rumor has triggered worldwide attention, and the only way to really end the speculation is for Brad and Angelina to issue a statement but so far they remain mum, albeit they might be busy with other things like trying to save the world. Meanwhile another report came out Sunday that seems to support the rumors of a breakup. Canadian journalist Ian Halperin reported Sunday that a close friend of Pitt’s says the actor has been preparing to bail from his five-year relationship with volatile Jolie for at least six months. Keep in mind though that Halperin authored the book, “Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pittand Angelina Jolie,” in which he predicted the split, but here’s what his source has to say:“Brad is miserable and wants a new start,” said the friend, a Hollywood industry veteran.“He’s looked miserable and exhausted the past couple of years because he can’t handle Angie’s explosive personality and self destructive ways.“I love Brad and am in his corner all the way. I feel so bad for him because Angie put him through the ringer. I can confirm that his relationship with Angie is over,” the insider told Halperin.Meanwhile Brangelina haven’t been seen in public together much as of late, and missed two golden opportunities to show they are still together, as they skipped Golden Globes last week and the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday night. I think it’s stupid to think that they need to make some kind of public showing or statement every time there is a negative statement about them. But I think until they do this time, speculation will continue to grow and take on a life of its’ own not unlike the Tiger Woods situation.
