In Touch Weekly’s Brangelina story this week is about how they’re fighting over Rachel McAdams. And no, it’s not a story about how both Brad and Angelina both want to sleep with Rachel, although that’s the route I would have gone if I was writing this stuff. It’s basically this: Brad invited Rachel McAdams and a few of his friends to the South of France, to stay at the Chateau Miraval with them. When Angelina found out about Brad extending the invitation to Rachel, she “laid down the law, forbidding him from inviting her”. Because Angelina hates dimples and white cougar dresses with shoulder pads. That’s my version.

Brad Pitt insisted he was only trying to be a good host when he invited Racchel McAdams to his chateau. But even though Rachel stars in the Pitt-produced Time Traveler’s Wife, Angelina seemed convinced he was more interested in pleasure than business.

“Angelina has been jealous of Rachel ever since she found some photos of her on Brad’s camera, which he had taken at the New York after-party” for the film, explains an insider, adding that when she learned Brad had invited Racel without asking her first, “she went ballistic. She pulled Brad to one side and called him every name under the sun.”

“Every name under the sun”? Does Angelina Jolie know how to say “motherf-cker” in Swahili, Hindi and Urdu? If she does, she’s pretty awesome, and I would be honored to be cussed out by her. Anyway, it seems that Brad not only invited Rachel to stay, he also invited Eric Bana. Brad allegedly try to reason with The Angelina Monster, telling her that it would be “rude and humiliating” to rescind the invitation, but Angelina made him rescind anyway – for both Eric and Rachel. Why does Angelina hate Eric Bana? All Eric would do is talk endlessly about his car. In the end, “Brad can’t trust Angelina not to embarrass him.” Perhaps Angelina was just being smart though – better not let a lot of people see the Harry Potter costumes and pantry full of liquor.

In one small side note about Rachel McAdams – just because this little addendum doesn’t warrant it’s own post. Remember how Rachel is single now? She broke up with Josh Lucas last month. Many of us were wondering if she and Ryan Gosling would end up together again, just to appease the Notebook-loonies. Well, it looks like that’s not happening – Ryan Gosling has been quietly dating Kat Dennings (the daughter in The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Norah from Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist) for the past few weeks. There haven’t been any pictures of the couple as of yet, but this same issue of In Touch Weekly “confirms” what had been a few scattered whispers. Ryan took Kat to Disneyland last week, and sources say “He’s already calling Kat his girlfriend.” Kat’s a really pretty girl – but I know a lot of people won’t be satisfied until he and Rachel are back together.
