Things getting worse for Brad and Ange? - Aug 3 2007
More rumours have emerged that all is not well in the world of Brangelina.
Sources in America claim that the actors are on the verge of splitting up after Angelina threw a glass of wine over Brad in an argument about politics, while they holidayed in France.
An insider told Life & Style magazine: "Angie was cursing at him and ended up throwing a glass of wine in his face. Brad was absolutely disgusted by her behaviour."
Sources say their relationship is so rocky that they have already discussed how they would arrange custody over their children: 14-month-old Shiloh and adopted Maddox, six, Pax, three, and Zahara, two.
An insider said: "Brad’s just had enough of doing what Angie wants to do and following her around the globe."
Earlier this week, In Touch magazine reported that Brad was overheard in a Berlin cafe talking about the new apartment he’d bought - saying he wanted a place of his own and that he’d be spending a lot of time there alone.
Are Brad and Angelina drifting apart? - July 31 2007
Their European getaway was supposed to bring them closer and give them a chance to reconnect after weeks of tension at their temporary home in Prague, in the Czech Republic.
But just two days after Brad, Angelina and their four kids arrived in Marthon, France, the couple had the worst fight of their two-year romance, according to In Touch magazine.
"They’d hoped the trip would be a fresh start for them," a friend told the magazine.
"The plan was to put all the fights they had in Prague behind them, but after a few days, they were at each other’s throats."
The friend said that the fight happened because Brad is losing patience with her mood swings and ongoing struggle with her weight loss - and this is the reason why he bought his own place in Berlin.
In fact, he was overheard in a Berlin café talking about the new apartment he’d bought - saying he wanted a place of his own and that he’d be spending a lot of time there alone.
The couple already have a luxury flat in the city, so why would Brad need his own place, away from his family? Time will only tell.
Brad and Angelina’s theme park fun - July 22 2007
Brad, Angelina and the whole of the Pitt-Jolie family have reportedly been spotted having fun at a French theme park.
According to People.com, awed staff at the Aventure-Parc in Massignac, France’s Charente-Limousin region, offered to waive the 5 euro entry fee as soon as they figured out who the celebrity couple were, but Brad and Ange were having none of it.
They insisted on paying and spent over an hour enjoying the park.
The visit came days after Angelina finished filming her new film Wanted in Prague.
The website quotes local French newspaper Charente Libre which spoke to employees at the park about the visit.
One apparently said: "We don’t get French celebrities, so it’s completely crazy to find yourself standing with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the most chased-after couple in the world in front of you."
The park’s six workers were apparently having lunch together outside on the overcast day, when a blacked-out Mercedes pulled up with the Hollywood couple and their kids Maddox, Pax-Thien, and Zahara.

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions. Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes. At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself. Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.
At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz. Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father. She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.
Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom. However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame. The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.
Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike. Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances. Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox. At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire. Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.
In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt. Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit. The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
