Brad Pitt Giving Angelina Jolie “Divorce Ultimatum”?

Brad Pitt did NOT give Angelina Jolie a “divorce ultimatum,” despite a new tabloid cover story. Gossip Cop can debunk the allegation. We’re told the report is 100 percent “untrue.” The new issue of Star hit newsstands on Wednesday with a cover alleging Jolie’s supposed “anorexia” is “tearing [the] family apart,” leading Pitt to make a “tough-love decision” and demand the actress “get help.” The accompanying story further claims Jolie and Pitt’s marriage is “on the brink” after a “year of fighting.” This is what the magazine came up with after years of false reporting about the couple.Star regurgitates its previous claims about a supposed argument between Pitt and Jolie from nearly a year ago, with a “source” calling it “perhaps the most bitter fight they’ve ever had.” The “source” goes on to allege, “They’ve continued to battle in some form or another over her health issues and weight loss ever since.” Now Jolie is said to be “in the grips of a grave health crisis related to her long-standing food issues.”A so-called “insider” proclaims Jolie to be thinner than ever before and weighing an “all-time low of 83 lbs,” and Star says “the situation has gotten so out of control” that Pitt “has resorted to drastic measures to get her into treatment. Its “insider” alleges, “He’s tried for months to help her, and Brad is at the end of his rope. He told her if she doesn’t check into rehab for her eating disorder, he’s leaving and taking the kids with him.” Star even goes as far as citing a “family and marriage therapist,” who has NEVER worked with Jolie and Pitt, as proof that she’s not “setting the best example for her children.” The doctor also talks about Jolie’s “anorexia” without ever having met her. The tabloid then dramatically ends it story with the supposed “insider” saying, “Brad told her he doesn’t want their kids exposed to this situation any longer, and he’s not going to stand by and watch while the mother of his children kills herself.”It’s all very alarming… Star’s story, that is. The outlet has a shameful history of making up claims about the couple, and using Jolie’s health and body to do so is the true “all-time low.” A source close to the stars tells Gossip Cop the report is “totally untrue,” not to mention despicable.

Turning Your Child into Angelina Jolie Will Only Cost $2 Million

This is tough to talk about, maybe even taboo, but we’re in a safe space, where you can be honest. So, I’m just going to ask you: Is your kid a little disappointing? Like, maybe not all that smart, or talented, or interesting? And, if you’re honest—again, this is a safe place—is your child maybe a little less than good-looking, dismayingly so, perhaps? If that is something that worries you—and I suspect that there are many out there who quietly, secretly feel this way—fear not. You don’t have to be saddled with some homely dullard for the rest of your life. There is a way to fix this. And it will only cost you a little over $2 million.You see, there is a home for sale, 20 miles north of New York City, that can turn your child into something . . . wonderful. The home, in Palisades, Rockland County, New York, U.S.A., once belonged to Marcheline Bertrand, the mother of none other than Angelina Jolie. What’s more, Jolie spent five formative years living there as a child. So the house must be doing something right, it must possess some kind of power, to raise a person like Angelina Jolie.Talent? Check. Smarts? Check. Mysterious allure? Yup. Beauty? Duh. Angelina Jolie’s the real deal, and that all started to coalesce in this house, in Palisades. Sure, you might say, it actually happened at some point during her conception, but that’s just the basics of the recipe. The spice and flavoring comes later, as spongelike children absorb their surroundings. So there has to be something about this house, this lovely, secluded home that’s listed with Sotheby’s International, that helped turn her into a star.
And some lucky parent can buy it! They can move their kid in and watch as he or she goes from Joe Schmo or Plain Jane to Ange-freakin’-lina Jolie. One day, the kid, all heavy of brow and under of bite, will be stomping around in the mud and eating caterpillars. The next, it’ll be wearing satin cigarette pants and learning French. Before you move into the home in Palisades—also known as Snedens Landing—your kid will have bug eyes and stringy hair, always sticky with juice and snot, belching and banging on pots. But once you’re in the Magic House of Rockland County? That same kid, the very one, will be a radiant angel who’s concerned about the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. Isn’t that worth $2.049 million? I say it is.Sure, at some point you’ll have to endure your child dating a few sketchy characters, and there may be one or two professional fumbles here and there. But the kid will eventually end up with Brad Pitt, and make lots of interesting career moves, whatever he or she chooses to do. And all the while he or she will remain, of course, strikingly beautiful. All because you, proud and conscientious parent, stopped living in a cave of inadequacy and moved into a palace of excellence. A temple of perfection conveniently located in the New York City metro area! One that is, I think, reasonably priced. We are talking about the future of your child here, after all.So what will it be? Who will your child become? Some buck-toothed ghoul who rides A.T.V.s and works for the cable company? Or, a fine-boned knockout who jet sets and speaks at the U.N.? It’s your choice to make. I’d urge you to choose wisely, though. And soon. This house—this nexus of exceptionalism in Snedens Landing—won’t be on the market forever.

Peter Andre and Katie Price were the hottest showbiz couple when they tied the knot in 2005 and while their marriage ended four years later, the 37-year-old former glamour model thinks people are still "obsessed" with them.They met and fell in love while appearing on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and their following relationship - and split - was just as public, splashed across reality TV shows and magazine covers.Despite now being married to Kieran Hayler, who she has two children with, the star's highest profile romance is still her relationship with Andre.Speaking to Fabulous magazine, the mother-of-five insisted that while they've moved on - the public haven't."We've both moved on, but we're like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - everyone is obsessed with our exes," she said."That is in the past for both of us now."It might be in the past - but that doesn't mean they're on good terms.Katie reportedly doesn't even talk to her ex-husband anymore and when asked about his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing admitted she won't be watching it."I'm not going to be sitting next to Kieran on the sofa watching Pete," she said, "So no, I'm not going to be watching it."Pete is partnered with Janette Manrara on the 13th series of the BBC One flagship show and has so far wowed the Strictly panel with his fancy footwork.Katie - who shares three children with Pete Harvey, 13, Junior, 10 and Princess, eight - fully expects him to win the show."I think Peter will be brilliant because he's a great dancer and he'll want everyone to see that. I'd tell anyone to put a bet on him because I think he's going to win it," she said.There maybe a little pang of jealousy to see her ex on the Strictly floor as Katie admitted, she'd always wanted to take part in the show as well.She added: "I've always wanted to do it.""I nearly did the Australian version, but it was difficult to leave the children that long." There's always next year.

Angelina Jolie undergoes further preventive surgery

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie revealed Tuesday that she has undergone more preventive surgery, having her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in hopes of reducing her risk of cancer.Writing in The New York Times, the filmmaker and philanthropist said a recent blood test showed a possible early sign of cancer. The news was a blow to the star who had already had a double mastectomy.“I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt,” she wrote. “I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn’t live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren.”Jolie, 39, revealed two years ago that she carries a defective breast cancer gene that puts her at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Her mother died of ovarian cancer, and her maternal grandmother also had ovarian cancer — strong evidence of an inherited, genetic risk that led the actress to have her healthy breasts removed to try to avoid the same fate.Only a small percentage of women inherit the same faulty gene, known as BRCA1 — the name stands for breast cancer susceptibility gene. These mutations are most commonly found in women of Eastern European Jewish descent, though other groups, including the Norwegian, Dutch and Icelandic, also have slightly higher rates of these mutations.The average woman has a 12 percent risk of developing breast cancer sometime during her life. Women who have inherited a faulty BRCA gene are about five times more likely to get breast cancer.Jolie said that while having the gene mutation alone was not a reason to resort to surgery — other medical options were possible — her family history influenced her decision to have further surgery now. The surgery puts a woman in menopause and Jolie wrote she’s now taking hormones.
Her courageous decision to publicly announce her double mastectomy was praised as a watershed moment in efforts to persuade women to get breast cancer screening — and to raise awareness of the need for early detection. The same sense of mission led her to write about her follow-up care, although she said her decision wasn’t necessarily the right one for everyone.“There is more than one way to deal with any health issue,” she wrote. “The most important thing is to learn about the options and choose what is right for you personally.”Coming forward to tell her story will play a vital role in raising awareness, those who work for cancer charities say. They hope other women at risk will be encouraged to speak with their doctors.“Angelina Jolie has made a really brave decision,” Katherine Taylor, acting chief executive of Ovarian Cancer Action. “It immediately puts the person into surgical menopause so it is not a decision to take lightly.”Jolie’s article makes plain the anguish the results of the new blood tests brought. She said she immediately called her husband, the actor Brad Pitt, who flew home from France within hours.“The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity,” she wrote. “You know what you live for and what matters. It is polarizing, and it is peaceful.”
