Report claims Brangelina couple is in crisis again

Every other month, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are adopting again. Or are pregnant. Or are about to break up – it all depends on which tabloids one reads and, most importantly, on which one believes. The latest comes from the National Enquirer, which says Angelina Jolie gave Brad Pitt a healthy dose of reality by telling him he was old, ugly and in dire need of a facelift (story via here).

According to the tab (which, to give credit where credit is due, has repeatedly broken a few major stories), Angelina Jolie is no longer attracted to her partner, the father of her children. Aside from the fact that he’s starting to age, and that he’s doing it very badly, he’s also obstinate not to shave that much talked about beard that only makes him look even worse. As such, Jolie told him he needed a facelift and, as per the report, he agreed because that was the only way he could think of for saving their relationship.

“She told him he looked like a total wreck, and that he needed to do something radical before she could find him attractive again. The sad truth is, Brad looks like a pale shadow of his former self. His skin is in terrible condition, and he’s grown this ridiculous beard to try to cover up how bad he looks underneath,” an unnamed source says for the tab. The reason why Brad looks so bad is his hectic lifestyle combined with being a father of six and having to deal with the “gorgeous but fiery” Angelina.

Admittedly, Jolie spent a lot of time thinking how to approach this and, in the end, she decided to stop beating around the bush. “She told him he just isn’t the same handsome man she fell in love with, and that he needed to do something extreme. He agreed to have a facelift if that is what it will take to revive their relationship. He still loves Angie and can’t stand the idea of her not being into him physically anymore,” the insider goes on to explain.

Fans must know that, only a couple of weeks ago, Brad Pitt explained his beard by laziness, saying he simply couldn’t be bothered to shave it off. As word on the blogosphere has it, if the above report smacks of made-up drama, then it probably is.
