The latest issue of Star screams on the cover that Brad wants Angie to go to rehab, but it’s not rehab for a half-assed rumor that a drug addiction could be behind her shockingly-thing frame, it’s rehab for an eating disorder. Angelina is now supposedly 98 pounds, and at a 5’7″ that’s severely underweight.

As usual, I doubt they have any insider information and are probably making up shit based on things she’s said in the past along with photos of how frail she looks. Given how general their statements from a “friend” are, it suggests this article is made up almost entirely:

“Brad seems worried sick about Angie, and he doesn’t know what else he can do,” a friend of the couple tells Star. “At this point, I think getting professional help might be the wisest way to go. He didn’t want it to come to this, but gong to a rehab center for eating disorders may be the best thing for Angelina.” Insiders say that Angie is taking steps to help her gain weight, but they don’t seem to be working. “She also has a history with depression, and things got a lot worse after the death of her mother,” says a source.

Meanwhile Life & Style has an article in this week’s issue that sounds more plausible because it has actual details of a supposed incident in it. It’s probably fake too, but it says that Angelina and Brad were arguing because he supports Barack Obama and she’s rooting for John Edwards for the presidency. It supposedly ended with Angelina throwing a glass of wine in Brad’s face:

The magazine will report in this week’s issue that things got so heated that Angie empties that glass in Brad’s face an insider tells the weekly entertainment magazine. “They got into a huge fight about politics,” says an insider close to the Pitt family. (Brad, explains another insider, supports Barack Obama, while Angie’s a John Edwards fan.) “Brad ended up calling her immature. He says the next thing he knew, Angie was cursing at him and throwing a glass of wine in his face.”

I would like to see Edwards be the next president too, but I can’t see Angelina preferring him so much to Obama that she’d get pissed off like that. There is the issue of who is more likely to get elected, and that debate can get heated. Some people believe we should support the candidate who can win and other people defend the notion that it’s best to support the person who will do the best job. I remember reading somewhere that Democratic candidates have a much better chance at the presidency if they’re southern. Either one of them would make an excellent president, in my opinion.

There was a lot of uproar earlier in the week over here in Europe about a story that they were thinking of moving to Berlin. I’m not sure if it was true or not, and their rep has denied it, but they do own a place in east Berlin and may have purchased land on a peninsula/island on the edge of Berlin.

A lot of you guys have extreme hatred for these two. To me they’re just a pair of rich famous people and I don’t really have strong feelings for them either way. Putting their supposed problems on the cover of a gossip rag is a surefire way to sell copies, since so many people want to see them fail miserably at something. Angelina looks like she’s losing a battle with her weight and her health, but whether Brad wants her to go to rehab or she cares enough about John Edwards to get all up in his face like that is up to question.
