Angie Battles New Life-Threatening Health Crisis After Bell’s Palsy Diagnosis!

Women 'put themselves last' until it shows 'itself in their own health,' said Jolie.Angelina Jolie is wrapped in yet another shocking health crisis following her Bell’s Palsy diagnosis, RadarOnline.com has learned, as a source close to the star claimed she suffers from varicose veins!Apart from being unsightly, the veins can cause life-threatening blood clots for the mom of six.Sources have told Radar the vain beauty wants the unappealing veins removed through a painful “stripping” procedure so she can wear short dresses again! “Angie knows ‘stripping’ the veins will hurt, and she’ll be off her feet for weeks. But she’s tired of having to cover up all the time,” claimed an insider. “People will have a field day if they ever see how veiny her legs have become! She’s really self-conscious about it.” Despite the actress considering the procedure for aesthetic reasons, medical experts have warned her the condition is much more serious. Left untreated, they can have deadly consequences! “Angie’s been told that because she travels by plane so much, those spidery veins could develop into deep vein thrombosis,” spilled a source. “After all the terrifying health issues she’s been through the past few years, that really scared her.” A common and very serious complication linked to deep vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism. This occurs when a blood clot – usually from the leg – travels to the lung and blocks a blood vessel. For the striping method, “the recovery time would be several weeks, with plenty of bruising and discomfort,” said Dr. Mark Rayman, medical director of the California-based Beach Cities Vein and Laser Center.He stated Jolie should consider “microphlebectomy” instead – especially if she is “trying to preserve her beauty.” “You make tiny little incisions over the bulging varicose veins and take them out through those tiny little skin nicks. That’s different than stripping, which involves pulling out the entire length of the vein.” Recovery time is also much shorter, he said.While the actress has been going through a hard time since her split from Brad Pitt, friends are urging her to seek treatment as soon as possible. “Angie has so much international travel coming up… She also wants to squeeze in another trip to Cambodia before the end of the year,” said an insider. “Her doctors are begging her to make a decision now before she suffers more dire consequences than revealing a couple of unsightly veins on her legs!” Speaking of her many ailments, skeletal Jolie said in an interview earlier this year: “It’s just been the hardest time, and we’re just kind of coming up for air,” As Radar readers know, Jolie had her ovaries removed in 2015 to prevent cancer, and subsequently went into instant menopause. She also previously had a double mastectomy and currently battles hypertension. “Sometimes women in families put themselves last until it manifests itself in their own health,” added the actress.

So sad. Brad Pitt is returning to work in the wake of his split with Angelina Jolie but our insider says he’s missing seeing his 6 kids terribly! Here’s the details! Although it’s been less than a year since Angelina Jolie, 42, filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, 53, it feels like a lifetime! Seriously, watching this picture-perfect family devolve into scandal after scandal has been the worst! Now, the leading man is headed back to work for the first time since the announcement and, according to our insider, it’s a refreshing change for him! “Brad has begun his first really big project since his marriage fell apart last year and the new experience is bittersweet,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He is so happy to be an independent actor again, collaborating with the other actors on set and meshing with the director. For many years he suffered Angelina’s constant advice, notes, and often unsolicited opinions about his work.” “Brad may miss Angelina, a little bit, but now that he is back on set, he does not miss her constant criticism,” the insider adds. “Now that Brad is back to work and the daily grind of filming on set, he misses coming home to his family. Brad has been dealing with his breakup for over a year now and has put off going back to work. He has needed time and space to heal from the horrible separation from his family. Now that he has finally decided to return to work, he is reminded of how lonely his life has become.” Aww. Poor Brad. As we’ve previously reported, another of our sources says Brad is struggles to forgive Angelina for dragging his name through the mud, including claims of domestic violence. “Brad’s over it and he believes Angelina crossed the line when she accused him of being abusive towards the kids — as far as Brad’s concerned there’s no way of going back from that,” another insider shared with HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. That sounds awfully final! Hopefully he can get back to see his brood of little ones very soon!

It was back in September last year when Angelina Jolie filed for divorce, but now almost a year later, there's reports she's considering taking Brad Pitt back.But it would only be under specific circumstances that 42-year-old Ange would "willingly drop the divorce" with the 53-year-old actor, and it'd involve Brad wearing his heart on his sleeve.A source close to the couple tells Hollywood Life that Ange "definitely has regrets" about the couple's split, and that "she feels really lonely without him".Reports have emerged suggesting Angelina Jolie is keen to take Brad Pitt back under particular circumstances. "Angelina is a really stubborn person, and there’s no way she would admit to having made a mistake, but if Brad came crawling back to her and begged for another chance, she would willingly drop the divorce," the insider claims.The couple are parents to Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11 and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.In May this year Brad broke his silence about life as a single man, opening up about his divorce from Ange and the ‘boozing’ problem that contributed to it. “I can't remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn't boozing or had a spliff, or something,” he revealed in the interview. “I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good.” “I'm really happy to be done with all of that. I mean I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. But even this last year, you know…things I wasn't dealing with. I was boozing too much. It's just become a problem.”The star went on saying at the time it had been “half a year” since he kicked the habit, and he now drinks “cranberry juice and fizzy water”.

She is believed to be pressing on with divorce proceedings, despite rumours recently suggesting she could reunite with estranged husband Brad Pitt. But Angelina Jolie took a welcome break from her woes of late to spend time with the couple's daughters Shiloh, 11, and Vivienne, nine, and friends in Los Angeles in Sunday. The actress, 42, was seen in great spirits as she headed out for lunch, sporting a stylish floor-length tunic dress and sandals.Appearing to go make up free for the outing, Angelina hid her striking features behind a pair of sunglasses and swept her brunette tresses up into a low ponytail.She sported a black tasselled shawl over her shoulders and toted a leather handbag on one shoulder. While she was clad in an all-black ensemble, Vivienne opted for an eye-catching pair of camouflage trousers and a printed blue t-shirt. Shiloh, meanwhile, wore beige cropped cargo trousers with an over-sized navy hoodie and was seen clutching onto two drinks, as she strolled alongside her famous faced mother and their friends. Relishing the time spent with some of her brood, Angelina was seen flashing a smile as she treated the girls and their pals to ice cream following their lunch. The movie star is also mum to Vivienne's twin brother Knox, nine, as well as Maddox, 16, Pax, 13 and Zahara, 12. Their relaxed outing comes after reports surfaced earlier this month, suggesting Jolie and Pitt will not reconcile despite previous claims they were hoping to rekindle their marriage. They had announced their separation in September 2016, with TMZ insisting the actors are now 'deep' in divorce negotiations and will 'never get back together' after allegations of child abuse were made public. A source told the site: 'Both sides are hashing out both child custody and property settlements and the divorce is full steam ahead.' There was an alleged 'altercation' that involved Brad and Maddox aboard a private jet that was heading from Nice, France to Los Angeles, California, with Angelina 'kicking him out' after they had landed, according to Vanity Fair.Brad has since been cleared of any wrongdoing, but that was only after the FBI and DCFS were involved. Us Weekly, meanwhile, had claimed that the former couple have not moved forward with proceedings to end their marriage. One insider told the publication: 'The divorce is off. They haven't done anything to move it forward in several months and no one thinks they are ever going to.'The reason given for the alleged stall is Brad coming clean about his boozing in an interview with GQ this past May.A friend of Jolie told Us Weekly that the commitment to self-improvement has struck a chord with the actress, who reportedly previously claimed she would consider taking Brad back 'if he showed he was committed to raising a family.'The source went on to add that Brad had 'got sober to try and win her back' and that the move to quit drinking was 'all she ever wanted.' Meanwhile, the insider claims: 'Everyone thinks they are going to get back together.'It wouldn't be surprising if they announced that they're calling [the split] off and trying to work things out.'A source told DailyMail.com that the ‘divorce process has significantly slowed down but there has been no real change.'The insider claimed that the former couple ‘are getting along for the sake of their children.' Angelina and Brad were together for 12 years before they announced their split in September; the divorce has not yet been finalized. She is seeking sole custody of their children.
