Angelina Jolie Is a ‘Mess,’ Headed to Rehab

Star magazine claims Brad Pitt wants Angelina Jolie in rehab

Proving that Angelina Jolie remains the most sought after celebrity in terms of tabloid coverage, this week’s issue of Star magazine has a piece that claims she’s exhausted, drinking heavily and considering heroin again.

Rumors on Jolie’s weight and past drug use have often went hand in hand, so it’s no wonder they’re making headlines again.

Jezebel got a hold of a copy of Star and it sums it up by saying that Brad Pitt is reportedly desperate that Jolie went someplace, like a rehabilitation facility, to clear her mind, fight her demons and get some well-deserved rest.

First off, though, the cover of the tab: featuring a photo of a tired-looking Jolie doing promotion for her latest film, “The Tourist,” Star claims she’s been drinking a lot in recent months and has even collapsed a couple of times at home.

There’s also something about drugs.

“Heroin shocker. Wasted! Rehab for Angie,” Star says in a large bold caption, suggesting that the actress has relapsed back into drugs and may be going to rehab soon.

“The embarrassing scene in public. Her frightening secret collapse. Brad pleads to GET HELP NOW,” Star further writes, reinforcing the impression that Jolie may be using drugs once more.

However, the story inside the mag tells a different story from the one hinted at on the cover, Jezebel informs. It wouldn’t be the first time a tabloid pulls a stunt like this, come to think of it.

“At the Berlin premiere of The Tourist, Angelina ‘seemed so wasted and weary.’ An insider claims ‘people were whispering… it was like she was on drugs or something. There were moments where she could hardly walk and needed Brad’s arm for support’,” Jezebel writes, citing from Star.

Jolie may simply have been too tired, which is why she needed help. “Maybe she was tired from jetting around the world and raising six kids?” the e-zine asks.

“Angelina allegedly keeps getting disoriented and needs to sit down, and collapsed at home once. Brad wants her to take a break and go somewhere to relax. We think it sounds like he means a spa, but the mag says Angelina has been drinking lots of wine and taking Ambien to help her sleep, and Brad has to watch her to make sure she doesn’t take too many pills and overdose,” Jezebel further says.

Then, Star claims Jolie has nights when she drinks an entire bottle of wine by herself after the kids are put to sleep, and it tries to make it sound like it’s an “issue.”

It also says that the thought of doing heroin “lingers in the back of her mind,” even if she stopped using it many years ago, Jezebel informs.

I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO ANGELINA JOLIE. MY LIFE, TAKING CARE OF 3 CHILDREN, WORKING A FULL TIME JOB, MULTI-TASKING AT HOME AND ELSEWHERE, AND WORKING OUT EVERY DAY, WHICH MY WORK OUT DAYS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE A TIME FOR ME TO RELAX, BUT REALLY IT IS JUST ANOTHER CHORE ANYMORE, CAUSE I AM SO EXHAUSTED. NOW COMING FROM A ALL STAR, AN INDIVIDUAL THAT IS A MOTHER OF 6 KIDS AND A CAREER THAT WOULD JUST EXHAUST ME IF i WAS HER ASSISTANT. NO MATTER WHAT, ANGELINA JOLIE IS A HUMAN BEING, SHE IS NOT GOD, SHE IS NOT A INDIVIDUAL THAT CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS AND NOT GET AFFECTED BY IT. ANY ONE IN HER POSITION WOULD BE TIRED JUST LIKE SHE IS. FOR THE YEARS I HAVE LOOKED UP TO ANGELINA, AND TABLOIDS MAKING A STORY OUT OF HER DEMONS, WAIT AND HEAR THIS!!! EVERYONE HAS DEMON, AND SOME OVERCOME THEM AND SOME DON'T, HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT IF IT WAS NOT FOR WHAT SHE HAD TO OVERCOME, SHE WOULD NOT BE WHO SHE IS. NO BODY IS PERFECT, AND FOR EVERYONE TO BE MAKING MORE STORIES OUT OF HER PERSONAL LIKE, WHEN THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT ANGELINA HAS ALREADY BEEN TELLING HER STORY FOR A LONG TIME. MY GREATEST PHILOSOPHY IS: OUR MISTAKES ARE OUR PRINCIPLES!!! SO FOR WHAT EVER REASON WHY ANGELINA IS STRESSED OUT, OR NOT HER USUALLY SELF, LEAVE IT FOR PRIVACY AND NOT BROADCAST IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD. FRANKLEY IT IS KNOWN OF OUR BUSINESS. THANK YOU

This lady is special, and she can drink a bottle of wine if she wants to. Also for anybody
to be so bold as to guess at what may be lingering in her mind is not right. The author
seems to want to criticise Jolie, and the unkind remarks are uncalled for.

I feel she overly exhausted and needs time to herself. People can be crule and just to make a quick buck will say anything. Angie if you are reading this relax take time off with Brad and the kids.

sounds really studip to me. the woman works, raises a family, and has a lover. i must say i was taken in by the story just because i think she is a wonderful human being and example to the world of women today. i would just love to meet her.
