Another week, another Brangelina-filled tabloid. This week, Brad and Angelina only made it onto the covers of two tabloids, Star (“The Fight To End All Fights”) and In Touch Weekly (“It’s Worse Than Anyone Knows”) – In Touch has my favorite cover line, actually. Because if it actually was worse than “anyone” knows, In Touch is basically declaring “It’s worse than anything we can make up.” I actually prefer Star’s cover though – it’s so clearly an image of Angelina crying as she attends some refugee event, but they cut an image of Brad beside her so it makes it look like he’s pouting while she cries. Sob! Neither Star nor In Touch has released any excerpts from their cover story, but my guess is that both are probably based on Ian Halperin’s suck-fest.

Now, one of the most constant criticisms/facts about Brad and Angelina is that they’re pretty smart about their press. They went out to dinner with George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis on Monday night, knowing that the images would break on the day Halperin’s book was released. The added bonus was that for every nasty tabloid story about them hating on each other, there were images of the two of them smiling and holding hands. Smart. However, what’s funny (to me) is the idea of Angelina and Elisabetta Canalis having anything to say to each other. But Us Weekly has the scoop!

What breakup rumors?

Usmagazine.com has obtained more details of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ‘s affectionate night out in L.A. Monday.

The casually dressed couple greeted pal George Clooney, who hosted a late-night afterparty for the premiere of his film Up in the Air at Beverly Hills restaurant Dolce Vita.

Arriving at 12:15, the pair were the last to join the small party of 30 that also included Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber, the film’s co-stars Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick. Clooney had two ladies on his arm: girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis and his mother, Nina.

“Brangelina seemed happy together,” an attendee tells Us, nothing that they were “inseparable,” and held hands frequently throughout the night. Not that they didn’t mingle.

Canalis complemented Jolie on her hair (which looks to be a new shade of brown in photos). Jolie, snacking on tomatoes, spoke with Farmiga about wearing fur and its brutality. Pitt, meanwhile, nursed a beer and asked other guests about their Thanksgivings. “He seemed genuinely interested in their response,” the eyewitness says.

Another happy couple? Clooney and Canalis. The actor cheerfully introduced her to the crowd; “Elisabetta fit right in,” the witness tells Us.

The Jolie-Pitts departed around 1:30 a.m. — holding hands.

Ian Halperin’s Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie paints a less rosy picture. “They’ve broken up so many times it would make your head spin,” writes author Halperin, who declares that the couple will break up by “Christmas 2010.”

No sh-t, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that dinner. Do you think Elisabetta really complimented Angelina’s hair? What would Angelina say in return? “Oh, thank you, Elisabetta. Is that an Eminem tattoo you have?” To which Elisabetta would snap back: “Weren’t you in a Meatloaf video, bitch?” And then George Clooney would throw Jell-O on them and make them wrestle.
