Despite a stormy but impassioned romance that has kept the less tasteful tabloids in business for months, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are on course to implode, or so a salacious new book would have us believe.
Sourcing his data from more than 900 ‘close sources,’ author Ian Halperin claims his new 285-page expose has the real, inside scoop on Hollywood’s most glamorous union.
Brad and Angie first encountered each other while making the 2004 New York-based comedy, Mr and Mrs Smith. And Brad’s wife at that time, Jennifer Aniston even wished Jolie well;
“Brad is so excited to be working with you,” Jennifer told her when Angie dropped by the set of NBC’s ‘Friends.’
…Two weeks later Brad and Angie posed for a ‘W’ magazine photo-shoot entitled, ‘Domestic Bliss.’..And poor Jenn was no more.
Five years in the making, the new book also claims these two star-crossed lovers have fought like cat and dog since almost day one, “Over everything from politics to clothes the kids wear, and Brad’s atrocious habits,” says Halperin, who then says these habits include ‘drugs and booze.’
So what keeps them together? Unbelievable sex!; “Brad never had such incredible sex,” Halperin claims. “My sources say the pair sometimes spend 18-20 hours a day in bed.”
But outside the bedroom tempers still flare, and the book says the couple’s close friends are all hoping they will soon choose to part ways; “Several people in Brad’s family wished they’d break up today,” Ian tells the Daily Telegraph. “They’re scared for his safety and well-being,” he reveals.
And such concern may have grounds – A driver who worked for the couple in 2007 saw Angie’s temper first-hand, “I was worried about his safety,” says the worker. “I can’t imagine how anyone would want to be with her – She has a temper like a cobra!”
Other sources told the author that Brad has cheated on Angie. And more than once. The prime candidate is a Sudanese model named Amma. They met at the Cannes Festival in 2007 and were spied together at least once after that. And Angie’s suspicions about Amma [and numerous others] are said to be the cause of most of their fights.
But it doesn’t stop there; The book also claims Angie is a 5-star control freak, “She won’t let him out of the house alone,” says Halperin. “I don’t think she’s evil, but she’s manipulative, deceiving and cunning. She even spread lies about Jennifer to make herself look better for the public,” he claims.
The alleged deceptions began when the pair were shooting, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Brad was still married to Jenn, but Angie wanted to steal him, so she started some rumors;
“Angelina came up with the whole story about Jennifer not wanting kids,” says a source at 20th Century Fox, which produced ‘Smith.’ “She thought the story would calm all those women who saw her as simply a man-stealing bitch.”
Brad was ‘furious’ when he found out, and demanded she stop. Angie, so we’re told, very reluctantly complied.
[FYI - Jennifer was actually pregnant twice while married to Brad. Once in 2003, and again a year later. But both terms ended in the distress of miscarriage.]
The book gives the couple 18-months – at the most. Then they’ll split. “They’ll split amicably, work out an arrangement with the kids, and everything will be very civilized.” one source advises. “Then you’ll see unidentified ‘leaks’ on how Angie couldn’t put up with Brad’s partying, drinking and pot, and she’ll look like a hero to women..again.”
The whole sordid story unfolds at great length in the new book, “Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie”, which debuts this week.
