I swear to you, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just can’t win when tabloids and haters want to believe that they’ve split up. If the two are separated for work purposes or aren’t seen together for awhile, then the headlines start to scream that clearly the couple has broken up.
But then when we DO see them in France having dinner, on the red carpet at Cannes, and at the after-party for Inglourious Basterds those same people sneer and say that they’re just doing it for the cameras, it’s all a media stunt, it’s not real.
That right there is exactly why Brad and Angelina ignore the tabloids, because what exactly are they supposed to do?
One of the biggest rags, the National Enquirer re-visited the rumors this week and went so far as to say (via unnamed “sources” of course) that Brad and Angelina were planning to make an official split – that Brad would film in L.A. and the Amazon all summer, Angelina would retreat with the kids to France, and that Brad would see the kids whenever he could. They also inexplicably said Brad and Angelina would make appearances from time to time. I can only assume that this is so they could cover all their bases, that this would be a way to explain why we would still see them together.
I guess that enough was finally enough because according to People.com Brad and Angelina’s rep has formally denounced the split-up rumors as absolutely not true.
Fans already knew this – I mean really, the Enquirer? Seriously? But it’s nice to have the official word out there at last so when people crow about it they can just be pointed to trustworthy sources.

Stella, it’s just that it gets tiring having to hear rumors abound, and as another poster stated, even more bothersome when doubt and the stirrings of a possible rumor arise from the fans themselves. We come here because it is a relatively positive site.
I expected you would take offense, and I don’t blame you; that’s what happens when views are challenged and some like me tend to be honest. I’m not very good at sugarcoating my opinion, especially at 3 in the morning. You also can’t blame some of us. This is a case that we’ll have to agree to disagree. As I said, even people who live in Philippines believe what they believed, and that turned out to be false, too. I really don’t understand why it’s absurd to defend something that we believe to be the truth when it is the truth. What’s wrong with that? I’d rather believe the direct mouthpiece from Brad and Angie’s camp, who has already confirmed the rumors are false. Tabloids or Brad and Angie???? Hmmm. I think it’s a pretty easy choice.
You’re right, this is a blog, hence, we can say whatever we want with civility and rationality. You’ve aired your side, and we’ve aired ours. We don’t have to come to an agreement. So, let’s just leave it at that. I can only apologize for how I expressed myself with regards to your opinion. I suppose I could have been less abrasive, so, I apologize if I rubbed you the wrong way. But I am not going to apologize for my opinion. It is just that: an opinion. You’re entitled to yours, and we’re both entitled to challenge each other and be decent sports about it.
Who said Angie’s hair has been sprayed to the left?

I apologize if I seem to have been aggressive towards you, but I cannot apologize for my opinion. It’s just an opinion and not a personal a t t a c k towards you. It is just a blog, right? So, we can say whatever we want. We’re entitled to our own views, and we’re also entitled to challenge them. We don’t have to come to an agreement.
As another poster mentioned above, it just becomes more bothersome when the worries and, to me, the stirrings of a rumor arise from the fans themselves. There’s no absurdity in defending the truth; Brad and AJ’s mouthpiece confirmed that the rumors are indeed false. So, why read into that further? That was the point of some of the posts here. The tabloids or Brad and Angie??? Who to believe? I’d say the choice is easy.

Stella: we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Our opinions are just that: opinions. It’s just a blog, as you put it, so, it’s perfectly alright for us to express our different views and challenge them, too.

Its sad that they felt the need to respond to these purile stories but I am glad they did.
I have to say the British magazine Grazia is the worst. Even worse than NE. I don’t know what Grazia would do if they didn’t write about the so-called love triangle. Even when they have nothing new to say on the subject they will find a sillly reason to attack Angelina. The other week it was some new ‘Bizarre’ skin-care regime they alledge she took up to look ‘fresh’ for Cannes – it’s so silly.
I find the Jolie-Pitt’s inspiring. And this site too – it’s good to have a beacon of positivity in amongst all the doom merchants out there…
