Us Weekly’s cover story this week is old-school Jolie-Pitt-Aniston uncool Bermuda Triangle bullsh-t, with a newish twist: apparently, Us Weekly is excerpting from Andrew Morton’s Angelina book. Previously, Morton is the one who claims that Angelina homewrecked Ethan Hawke’s marriage to Uma Thurman, and she also supposedly seduced Lenny Kravitz back in the 1990s, and Ralph Fiennes sometime before Brad. Oh, and Andrew Morton is also going to tell us about all of the VOODOO that she does so well. In this week’s book excerpts, Morton alleged that after Jon Voight left Angelina’s mom Marcheline Bertrand for another woman, Marcheline fell apart and “abandoned” Angelina to looked after by nannies:

Angelina Jolie’s teenage years and young adulthood were marred by erratic behavior: drug-use, self-cutting and a volatile love life.

And Andrew Morton’s juicy new tell-all Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography — excerpted exclusively in the new Us Weekly — argues that it all began with a traumatic event in the star’s infancy. According to former babysitter Krisann Morel, Jolie’s late mother Marcheline Bertrand virtually abandoned her baby daughter after a painful 1976 split from husband Jon Voight.

Morel claims that, for two years, Bertrand sequestered Jolie in a separate apartment in her building, where the young girl was cared for by a revolving staff.

Now 35 and a mother to six kids she shares with love Brad Pitt, Jolie has publicly declared her devotion to Bertrand, who passed away in January 2007 of cancer. But Morton writes that Jolie was permanently scarred by this early abandonment — leading her to self-destructive acts and a “come here, now go away” personality.

For more exclusive revelations from Morton’s new biography — how Angelina seduced Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke and others, whether she and Brad will ever wed, how Brad’s mid-life crisis contributed to his split with Jen Aniston and more — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, out now.

Wait, Leonardo DiCaprio?!? Leo and Angie… did it happen? They’re the same age, they came up through Hollywood around the same time… it could have happened, but I don’t see Leo as her type, really. She likes them older, generally. Anyway, about the Marcheline stuff: um… sure. I’ll buy that Marcheline was devastated, but I don’t buy that she “abandoned” Angelina (and older son James Haven) for TWO YEARS. That’s kind of insane, even for the 1970s. And if it was true, don’t you think Jon Voight would have thrown that out in Angelina’s face when they were fighting all those years? Wasn’t Jon the one doing the abandoning? Speaking of Jon, he is the reason I’ve always suspected Angelina had her self-destructive phase. Jon and his insanity. Ugh. Well, Jon is back in her life, and he can’t shut up about it either:

Jon Voight was in proud-papa mode Monday at daughter Angelina Jolie’s Salt premiere in Hollywood. Soon, though, the Oscar-winning actor, 71, will be shipping out to Texas for the new TV show Lonestar, but he says the distance won’t put a damper on the relationship he’s building with his daughter and grandkids.

“It’s hard for me to be away from my grandkids, yes, but I’ll stay in touch with them,” Voight told PEOPLE at a screening of show’s pilot episode at the Paley Center in Los Angeles. “Thank god we have this technology, and you know, we use all of it.”

Specifically, Voight means Skype – and he plans to use it to chat with Jolie, Brad Pitt and their kids. “We’re just setting it up now,” the actor says. “Anyway, I love being in touch with the family.”

As for Jolie, with whom he had a famously fraught relationship, watching her in action in Salt was thrilling for Voight, who thought she elevated the action flick into something more gripping.

“Her work is terrific,” he says. “And Angie, for some reason, has this emotional capacity to make every piece of this really authentic, ’cause it’s really unreal stuff that they’re doing. But that’s the genre and she gives … another energy to it. She’s very, very good. It’s not like a novelty. She’s really doing it.”

One thing he admires about his daughter on screen: her versatility. “She’s a really talented person with a very wide range and lots of interests,” Voight says.

“It’s interesting to talk to her about why she made the decision to this movie … She was nursing two babies at the time that she decided to do this role.”

You know, if Angelina wants her dad back in her life, so be it. But I still think the man is totally crazy, an emotional blackmailer, and – just my opinion – a man who is still on a destructive and self-destructive path. I find it creepy the way he talks about her and the children, and the way that he runs and gives a bunch of interviews every time he and Angelina see each other. It seems like he’s not only trying to really force the connection, but he’s trying to make sure that everyone sees him force the connection. Just my opinion, whatever.
