Several people have been commenting or emailing me, concerned about the rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie split up. People have been asking why I haven’t posted about it. Well, because if I posted every time someone said their relationship was over, every week there would be at least one “oh my god, they broke up!” post followed by a “whew, no, they’re still together” post. These rumors circulate on a near-constant basis. If you look at any tabloid magazine, one week they’re saying Brad and Angie are finished, the next week they’re saying Brad and Angie are getting married, and the week after that they’re saying that they’ve just adopted ten new kids. And then the cycle continues.
However, apparently the concern is coming from the fact that Perez Hilton reported it. Except he didn’t really – he just acknowledged that there was a strong rumor going around. And actually, it appears that the rumor of Brad and Angelina splitting came from the National Enquirer. That tabloid trash isn’t even good enough to line your bird cage, let alone good enough to believe.
And in any case, Perez then reported that Angelina Jolie’s rep has denied the break-up rumors, calling them completely untrue.
I think I know why this is so persistent right now – we haven’t seen Angelina in months, not since Cannes. People have seen Brad on the red carpet without her at his side, something that is highly unusual. But these people are forgetting that the woman gave birth to twins, is breastfeeding, and likely completely exhausted. Then again, people are also saying that Brad looks unhappy lately. I disagree. I think he looks just like any other parent of young children. I looked like that, my husband looked like that, our friends all looked like that during the first months when no one is sleeping. The man is TIRED. It happens, it’s part of it.
But when you combine Angelina’s isolation in France, Brad’s solo red carpets, and his half-asleep expressions, it’s easy to see how tabloids would cash in on it all and speculate heavily.
Don’t believe the rumors just because they’re there. Is this couple bullet-proof? Of course not, any relationship can end. However, as far as strong Hollywood couples go, I’d say that these two are among the strongest, and unless a reputable source says that it’s ended, I’m going to carry on without worrying about it!
I always come to this site because it is a true Brad and Angie site, I have been Brad fan for 15 years and I think he finally found someone who really cares and gives back.I do not think that break up rumor is true at all, Angie said in an interview while promoting in Cannes that she would disappear for a few months and that brad will work. this is what happens when a huge celebrity moves to Europe, they are just out of spotlight, you can not see the Deeps in months also. Angie is nursing, she is breastfeeding two children and I think that Brad simply can not live without them.You can see how he is proud of his family in his eyes and he never leaves them more than two days.
I miss ANgie!! Im hoping for a redcarpet premiere soon!!
Yeah and no way Brad and Angie broke up!
I totally agree with you cristine, for real,lol.
Christine, I am VERY for real. There is no sign on this site, unless I’ve missed it and if so please point it out, that says only post on this site if you approve 100% of everything Brad and Angie does.

Hats off to you sherry! i’ve little patient to any posters who would say that brad and angie shld.go out to RC’s so ppl will not say that they split! hello? does brangelina live to please the papz? and you? and what other pda shld.brad do to show ppl that he loves angie? he’s been doing that since they got together in 2005. most of my pics of them- he cant take his hands off her! and also i want to know what negative decision angie made that concerns her kids accdg. to sarah that she finds troublesome!

PEACE!
I’m glad sherry wont let this site turn into d-listed or perez hilton, those posters on their site post their opinions and those places are a cesspool of hate, sherry moderates her site so it doesn’t become a free for all of hate and tabloid trash, i appreciate that, if posters don’t like it they’re free to leave.Any way we’ll see angie and brad in NYC pretty soon.
I aggree with the above posters here. I have no problem challenging haters or even dare I say ridiculing them but I am glad that this site is here and hater free. There is plenty other sites for dissenting views. Sherry, please keep this a loving site, one for FANS ONLY!
I don’t believe in that trash. Rumor is always a rumor. I love them both and I still believe that they still love each other. I know that they respect and love their family. If they have a misunderstanding, that’s normal! Having six children to handle is not very easy for both of them.

Hi, J-P ROCK! It was tres, tres cool. . .
Hi, J-P ROCK! I live in Oakland, California. It was tres, tres cool. I’ve been a total movie nut for 50 years, and movies & traveling are my passions. So film festivals are perfect, right? Well, aside from local ones in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’d only dreamed about going to film festivals like Sundance and Toronto Intl. Film Festival. The only reason my husband & I went this year was because our son, writer-director Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson), had his sophomore feature “SUGAR” screening. Ryan got raves at Sundance, and a warm reception at TIFF08 – which was three times as big as Sundance. If only we had the time and money, we’d be groupies and follow him everywhere – Vancouver, London . . .
HA! Who was it who was recently complaining about being moderated? I just tried posting that I was under moderation – and *those 2 lines* were moderated too. ;-)
Victoria (hasn’t posted lately) used to have every single one of her posts moderated due to some problem with the computer. If I’m lucky, only 1/2 of my posts are moderated, more like 3/4. That’s the way the ball bounces!

Fine, Sarah. You call my post aggressive. I call it forceful and assertive. We’ll have to agree to disagree. You must not have read the comments I’ve read on JJ, PH, E!, imdb boards, a gazillion newspaper gossip columns, etc. Those are what I mean as venomous. Compared to them, I think anything I said to Kay were air kisses. And I never personalized it or called Kay any names, or described her in derogatory terms.
Also, because I *deeply* appreciate Sherry working her tail off for this blog, as well as working and taking care of her family, and still being infinitely patient with us, I don’t take it kindly when I feel she’s being beat up unfairly.
Some light relief – does anyone know how these things are used? I think the purple wedge thingy must be the Liberator Ramp. I don’t know what a Silky looks like. Anyone, anyone?

New York (ANI): Actor George Clooney has started a new trend these days sex toy-craze. All thanks to his new film Burn After Reading, where Clooney plays a sex addict who totes along marital aids, the craze has sparked. The ‘marital aids’ include two items called ‘The Libera tor Ramp’ and ‘The Silky,’ both of which are sold in stores.
Avn.com reports sales of both are on the rise thanks to the movie. “Small mentions of adult products in mainstream media can have an outsized effect on sales,” the New York Post quoted a retailer, as saying.
LOL…Sarah, I’m actually very curious to know what facts you have to support this ‘extremely complicated’ relationship you believe them to have. Of course every relationship has it’s challenges and these two aren’t absolved from that but that’s a pretty humorous claim to make if your someone who doesn’t know them or what goes on in their life IMO. Maybe it’s just me though :)
Why would they split. Brad made references to Angie and the kids when he was in Toronto. He seemed happy and content with his life. He had just taken the boys with him to Venice, Z to Paris and returned home after being away 2 nights! Angie is a new mother. I think the tabs just like to throw that story out there to get a rise out of everyone. Seems like they were successful.
Brad and Angie are fine.
Ligaya, you stated you don’t like “venomous in-fighting”, yet I found your post to be quite aggressive.
Sherry, I am very impressed you posted the comment from Kay. In the past when I have had a difference of opinion (not with you, but with my opinion of Brad or Angelina) – you have deleted it. I’m grateful that you have opened up.
What is a “fan”? For me, I am an interested party. I find Brad and Angelina fascinating. I find their fans fascinating. I find Sherry fascinating. So I come to this site. I honestly did not think Angie and Brad would last this long. I think their relationship is extremely complicated. There are a lot of things I like about Angie. There are other things I find troublesome about Angie, especially how some of her choices affect her children – negatively – in my opinion. I like best how Angie is so real and she lives life to the fullest. I will continue to state what I like and don’t like. That may not be a “fan”, but it is being real. To me, that makes an interesting and sincere and honest blog.
P.S. Oh, I forgot the part that got me quivering with indignation, how dare you cry “shame, shame” on Sherry? IMO, *You* should be ashamed of yourself for jumping to conclusions about Sherry and sitting in judgment of her. In all the years I’ve been on Pittwatch, Sherry has NEVER. EVER. BASHED. ANYONE.
The tabs are just spinning tales because Brad and Angie quietly having a grand time with the family in France. :) I may not have personal knowledge of this, but I think that’s the reason we haven’t got any news about them besides from the premieres. I hope they are able to stay out of the spotlight for some more time before the whole family get bugged again.
Kay, I’m real, and if I have a question or opinion about anyone, everyone included, I’m not going to “lay off” just because you want me to or because you say so. (Also, did anyone accuse JJB of being a Jen fan? Sorry, I must have missed it.)
Kay, i disagree with you on this. Sherry isn’t the only one who has doubts about JJB’s motivation; at least a couple of other posters have alluded to this. If JJB means no harm, then she shouldn’t be concerned when others want clarification.
I also take exception to your telling anyone in this community to “lay off.” I think we try to be open with our differences as well as our agreements, and respect each other whether we agree or whether we agree to disagree.
Pittwatch is not a free-for-all and Sherry – with others’ help – won’t allow it to descend into the chaos of venomous in-fighting almost all other blogs about Angelina and Brad do. I’ve had enough of that, thank you. That’s why I’m here in this oasis of sanitly among the craziness.
May I remind you that Sherry owns and runs this blog. We are here on her sufferance. She has more than bent over backwards to be patient and understanding. I could never do her job – I’d be exhausted and have no other life, and probably ban people left and right who piss me off.
So, go ahead and give your input to Sherry about how you feel she’s running this blog, but remember Sherry has the final say. And if you don’t agree with how Sherry runs Pittwatch, you have the choice to leave and start your own blog.
