Last month Brad and Angelina were the tabloid darlings, and their relationship was declared saved after a rough patch when a guide at the Chicago Field Museum saw Angelina roll her eyes at Brad for telling Maddox to say “excuse me” when he interrupted him. (I wish I was making that up.) The skinny actors and busy parents spent a romantic night out at a hotel bar drinking and gazing into each others eyes and all their manufactured problems dissolved into perfect wedded bliss for the gaping masses.

Now they’re said to have had another night out with Angie drinking too much and Brad *gasp* telling her to stop. People even heard him say it at the restaurant where they were eating. Angie also doesn’t want to go to Brad’s parent’s house in Missouri for Thanksgiving. That means they must be on the verge of another cover-worthy breakup.

It was a typical night out for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Over the course of a two-hour dinner at Sir Harry’s bar in NYC’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel on Oct. 8, Angie drank three shots of vodka, five glasses of white wine and a glass of dessert wine brought down from the couple’s suite, according to several witnesses. Though Brad also had one vodka shot and some wine, he appeared to grow concerned that Angelina didn’t know when to stop. “He looked upset,” Sir Harry’s customer Richard Parsakian tells Life & Style, “but she didn’t notice.”

When a fourth shot of vodka was placed in front of Angelina, Brad decided enough was enough. “Brad said something in her ear,” Parsakian says. “You could see she didn’t like whatever he had said to her. There was a lot of whispering between them.” Finally, says a second witness, “Brad just said, ‘No more,’ loud enough for people around to hear. Their evening just folded up after that.”

Besides her excessive drinking, Angelina has been doing other things to drive Brad away. She’s also been distancing herself from his family, telling him she doesn’t want to join his parents, Jane and William Pitt, for Thanksgiving in Springfield, Mo.

Will Brad put his foot down and insist that Angie cut back her drinking? Will Angie appease Brad by spending Thanksgiving in Missouri? Find out this and much more, all in the new issue of Life & Style!

While Life & Style features the cover story “Angelina Turns Her Back On Brad,” which supposedly refers to the drinking and a walk she took at 3 AM in NY, US Weekly focuses on how they spend too much money, having just invested $2 million in a piece of art by controversial Banksy. The Enquirer shows Jennifer Aniston on the cover, a decision they probably made based on that recent analysis showing she sells more copies, and claims that “After 2 Years of Silence Jen Finally Tells Brad ‘I Hate You'”

Radar Online offers a funny translation of all the latest tabloid stories on Brangelina, comparing the ‘loids to bored sniping housewives talking about the rich charmed couple on the block:

“They spend money like there’s no tomorrow,” says Us, who wants you to know that she enjoys a splurge every now and then, but in moderation. “That hotel suite they’re staying in is $100,000 a month. For that kind of money they could buy a whole house in Kansas City.”

“I don’t know,” says Star, examining a chip in the “Wicked” fingernail polish she bought a few seasons back when Cosmo said dark was the rage. “I mean the hotel suite has got like six bathrooms and a gourmet kitchen, and there’s a weekly magic show for the kids. It might be kind of fun.”

“But it’s not just a hotel,” Us continues. “He spent two million for some artwork by a graffiti artist; I could have one of my kids scribble something and maybe he’d buy that. And that school where they send the little Asian boy—$18,000 a year, and for what? They move so much he was only there for a few weeks anyway. Heck, Angelina bought the baby a $450 stuffed animal from FAO Schwartz.”

“I know someone who knows someone who said that the other day Brad used the hotel’s kitchen to make Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes for the kids and blueberry yogurt and granola for Angie,” OK! gushes—and the others ignore her.

“I’m just saying, it’s not normal the way they live. She goes for walks at three in the morning in New York City!” says Life & Style (who we sort of see wearing something from Anne Taylor and looking a lot like that neighbor who ran across the block to tell your mom that your boyfriend stayed over that weekend your parents were out of town). “And the drinking. Would you believe my friend Richard Parsakian happened to be at Sir Harry’s bar in the hotel and he saw her have nine drinks—three of them shots of vodka! If I had just one, I wouldn’t be able stand, but she had three. And Richard told me that Brad just looked at Angelina and told her that was enough, which in my opinion was probably eight drinks too late.”

Brad visited Angelina on the set of her new Clint Eastwood film The Changeling yesterday. Next week those same tabloids are going to have to come up with a way to explain how happy they look despite their problems. I’m sure they’ll come up with a good explanation for us like they do every week.
