I don’t know how, but it’s Wednesday again. Time to head over to TGIW for some wings and beer and pretend there aren’t 2.5 more days left in the work week. And with all the excitement of award shows and new TV seasons starting up again, you might not have realized that celebrities have been creating little scandals for our amusement! Or, more accurately, that the tabloid writers have been racking their brains to find fictional ways to thrill us. And because you’re an adult who doesn’t have time to worry about such pettiness, we’ve done it for you by compiling the most interesting stories from all your favorite tabloids. You’re welcome.
With conflicting reports circulating saying that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are split, and then denials claiming they’re still together also coming from all angles, it can be very confusing. In the hopes of clearing up any Brangelina-based fog, we reached out to author Ian Halperin, whose recent book Brangelina predicted the demise of the supercouple and went into the inner-workings of their lives. Halperin says he’s confirmed the couple have indeed split, and even predicts how the drama will unfold in the media over the next few weeks. Read more ...
While some women hate how facial hair chafes their chin, others find the grizzly mountain man look super sexy. I’m definitely in the latter category. Outside of soul patches (which I think are stoopid), facial hair can add character to a man’s face or cover up an otherwise weird-looking upper lip or chin. It can also make a really good-looking man even better looking. This is arguably the case with the newly bearded men of Hollywood: Jon Hamm, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney. This is why we’ve decided to take on the impossibly huge task of deciding which hunk should be shunned, shagged, or married.
So, it isn’t Hump Day, but this blind item just can’t wait until then.
All the talk this week will be about Goat and Pillow, but as they weren’t married, this is just a breakup and division of assets, both live and inanimate. Far more complex and interesting is the ongoing saga of Chip and Grin, who are now living completely apart with a new agreement signed and sealed. She has the kid/s full time, which was a major triumph for her. Where did she get so much leverage? She found out that her marriage isn’t valid in the US and that Grin is planning on abetting a criminal pal (and alleged lover) of his out of the country and into a private love shack.
While the characters are obvious (Brad, Angelina, Tom, and Katie), the gossip—if true, which, who knows?—is juicy. [Blind Gossip]
Everyone calm down! Us Weekly has consulted the “experts,” and they have concluded that despite the fact that her parents dress her like a little boy, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt will probably not have serious gender identity issues. PHEW. That was a close one.
Aid groups from around the world are working tirelessly—racing against the clock—to rescue survivors, provide medical relief, food, and water after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti on Tuesday. It is still unclear what the death toll will be (it’s estimated that it could be hundreds of thousands) or how severe the damage is, but reports and horrifying images from the ground indicate major destruction and chaos everywhere. Obama promised $100 million in immediate relief and even deployed 3,500 US Army members to assist, our most heroic relief effort since the tsunami in Indonesia. But communication is still limited and people are still searching for loved ones, like “Heroes” cast member and Haitian native Jimmy Jean-Louis. He is trying to find his parents after he learned that the house he grew up in collapsed, killing several relatives. So sad.
To help, many celebs have stepped up to offer big bucks for the cause.
For the past few months, we have all watched in horror as Brad Pitt‘s beard got longer, scragglier, and grosser. So I felt that something was right in the world when People posted a plausible explanation for the poor facial hair decision this morning—that Brad is just getting into character for his role as Percy Harrison, a British explore who went missing in the Amazon in the 1920s, in the flick “The Lost City of Z.” Only, the film is very, very far from shooting—studio execs say the script isn’t finished and there’s no date set yet to begin filming. Not to mention that in reality, Percy rocked a handlebar mustache—not a droopy, beaded beard. So what’s up, Brad? Is this just your way of punishing Angelina? [People]
Over the last ten years, we’ve watched our favorite celebs hook up, break up, break down, flip out and start over. With all of its love triangles, legal battles, family dramas and political scandals, the “Naughties” certainly earned its wicked name!
“I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It’s worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards ... Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other ... The sparks fly at home if the nice Brad fails to see that he’s wrong and reacts in a defiant way. Then I can get so angry that I tear his shirt.”
—Angelina Jolie in Germany’s Das Neue magazine (which means the nuances of what she actually said may have gotten a lil’ lost in translation) [Telegraph.co.uk]
Everyone knows who Brangelina is—the dynamic and altogether gorgeous Hollywood couple comprised of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. But what’s behind the couple ... and is there a proverbial Oz—a man behind the curtain that is Brangelina? Ian Halperin examines this in his book Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and PopEater is exclusively running an excerpt from the book that takes a look at the man credited with creating the supercouple’s image and reputation.

Given the recent he-said-she-said hodgepodge coming from a certain TV couple with lots and lots of kids, “Oh, the drama!” has pretty much now been replaced with “Oh, the Gosselins!” Simply par for the course when it comes to celebrity and 15-Minutes-of-Famer breakups. Celebrity splits have held our universe’s attention for decades, and this decade may be the champion of them all. Sure, some breakups over the years are oddly cordial (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore), while others are syrupy sweet (Will and Sheree Smith). But most have some serious bite to them that brings out the worst in those involved. Here’s a look at some of the worst celeb breakups we’ve ever seen. And we’ve seen a lot. Read more ...
Even if you don’t give two figs about the Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie triangulated love mess, we’re sure you’ll find a recent excerpt of the forthcoming book Brangelina dishy. Brad is a pothead! Jen had two miscarriages! Angelina has a horrible temper! And that’s not all ...
Though they’re currently known for their huge brood and inhumanely good looks, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have yet again decided to change up everyone’s perceptions. Please meet Mr. and Mrs. Jolie-Pitt, jewelry designers. Yup, we’ve got another celebrity designer in the world, but this time it sort of makes sense. They’ve decided to create a capsule collection called The Protector for Asprey, all based on a snake. Angie’s known for her devotion to kids who are in less fortunate situations, so all net proceeds are going to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Angelina co-founded. “These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place — to just be children,” said Angelina. “Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.”
