Latest Gossip From Around the World
The tabloids are continuing their hissy fit about Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie being in the same city at the same time (and even in the occasional film frame). OK!, In Touch and Star are all running various stories on Jolie-Pitt versus Depp-Paradis, and some of the stories are sort of unintentionally hilarious. Things I didn’t know: Angelina likes to do all of her love scenes nude; Johnny Depp really wishes he was getting it on with Helen Mirren; Brad Pitt has bodyguards spy on Angelina; Angelina flirts with Johnny in front of Brad; and finally, Angelina forced Brad to stay in Venice with her rather than attend the Oscars, because she’s a demon. This is all courtesy of Jezebel’s tabloid round-up:
OK! Magazine - In Johnny Depp/Angelina Jolie news, a source who has worked closely with Johnny says: “Trust me. kissing Angelina Jolie on camera is the least exciting thing he’ll do all year.… He likes to do movies that are a lot weirder. Johnny’s dream costar is someone more along the lines of Helen Mirren.” A different source says: “Brad doesn’t mean to act jealous, but he’s not comfortable letting his woman get really close to one of the sexiest men alive.”
In Touch Weekly - During the Oscars, Brad Pitt was in a rented home in Venice, drinking red wine alone. Brad wanted to fly to LA for the Academy Awards, but Angelina “put her foot down.” So he had to call all his LA buddies and tell them he couldn’t come over and play — including Jen, who was upset that Angelina “had come between” them “yet again.” On March 4, Brad, Angie and Johnny toured an art museum in Venice and Angie put her hand on Johnny’s chest and then put an arm around his neck. This “embarrassed” Brad, who turned his back, and a source says Angie “controls Brad like a puppet.”
Star Magazine - Vanessa Paradis has been checking Johnny Depp’s script for The Tourist so she knows EXACTLY when he’ll be working on love scenes with Angelina Jolie. A source says “Angie likes to do her love scenes completely nude.” A source says: “Johnny is the one guy Brad feels threatened by.” Brad has asked Angie’s bodyguards to report back about what’s the two are up to on set; “He doesn’t want to be the fool who doesn’t know what’s going on.”

Am I the only one enjoying the general tabloid consensus that Brad is now the “jealous mess”. Usually they cast Angelina in that role. I always enjoy a little gender equality! As far as what is actually happening (or not happening) between Angelina and Johnny… well, of course I have no idea. I’ve always wanted the two of them to work together, just because I think they probably have similar personalities and interests, but I don’t know how that translates into “affair”. But I’m an Angelina fan who acknowledges the possibility that it could totally happen.

This morning we got our first look at the anticipated W Magazine cover featuring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. The spread was photographed by Stephen Klein, who is also responsible for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's infamous shoot in 2005. Both twosomes look amazing, but in totally different ways. So tell us, between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2005 and Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler in 2010 - which do you prefer?

Brad Pitt took out his long-lensed camera to photograph architecture in Venice yesterday while Angelina hurried into work on the set of The Tourist. The Jolie-Pitts skipped the Oscars this year, instead bringing Shiloh, Pax, and Zahara to a birthday party on Sunday and hitting the park with their four oldest Monday. Angelina's costar in her current film, Johnny Depp, had a great opening weekend with Alice in Wonderland, and her man Brad Pitt also has his own movie news. Jonah Hill may be signing on for a part in Brad's troubled project, Moneyball. For now, however, Pitt is literally focusing on another of his big passions - design.
Last week, Life & Style revealed that there was yet another “tell-all” book being written about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and this one wasn’t written by anyone named Halperin, or any miscellaneous gossipy gerbil. This one was being written by a British tabloid journalist named Jenny Paul, and the excerpts that she’s already given away for free are absolutely priceless. Initially, the excerpts were about Angelina’s affair with Mick Jagger back in 1997 (when he was married to Jerry Hall), and then again in 2003-04. Apparently, Angelina was also boning Ralph “Oh My God I Hope This Happened” Fiennes back in 2004, as she was continuing to bone her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller.
According to Life & Style’s excerpt, “ the sources say Angelina was sleeping with Jonny Lee Miller and Ralph Fiennes when she met Brad Pitt and she’d just ended a four-month relationship with Colin Farrell, because he was becoming obsessed with her, and he drank too much and wasn’t a good role model for Maddox. An insider claims that Angelina and Ralph Fiennes met for regular S&M sex sessions at a hotel in London. “They would order room service and watch the news together in bed afterward.””
After letting your mind wander through some S&M fantasies with Ralph Fiennes (mother may I), this new interview with Jenny Paul about her book is a little bit anti-climactic. Unless, of course, you already climaxed during your leather-clad Ralph Fiennes fantasy (raises hand). Here’s more:
‘Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie: The True Story’ comes out next week and asserts that Angelina slept with Mick Jagger when she was in her early twenties and that she and Brad plan to have 13 children, among other things. There were more than a few inconsistencies in the last Brangelina tell-all, so take what you will.
HuffPost exclusive: Author Jenny Paul gave the following details to Life & Style:
Angie’s had a nose job: No, she didn’t have her lips done. Paul claims in her new book that Angelina had a nose job when she was younger (which her rep has denied) and also underwent laser eye surgery.
They have five nannies for six kids: Each older kid has a nanny, and the twins share one, the book reveals. “They look after the kids and home-school them,” Paul tells Life & Style.
Brad nearly got busted for pot: A report claimed Brad and Angie were so loud while having sex in Kenya in 2005, cops burst in. The real story, Paul tells Life & Style: Someone thought he smelled pot and tipped off police, who later raided the couple’s room but found nothing.
Brad bought their French estate: The couple purchased the $60 million Chateau Miraval, Paul tells Life & Style. It was bought by Brad’s Briarcliff Trust.

Zzzz…. Whatever, nannies, gerbils, it’s all the same in the end. More Ralph! I want more details about Jonny Lee Miller, too. He’s always been my favorite of all of Angelina’s men, and I want to know about their sex life, because that’s who I am and I’m not ashamed. I always got the impression that Jonny and Angelina were very sexually compatible, and that’s what kept their relationship/friendship together for so many years.

The Jolie-Pitts skipped Sunday's Oscars, where Brad's Inglourious Basterds costars arrived turned out in force, instead staying in Venice to have family time with their kids. They kicked off the fun that afternoon with a children's birthday bash, and yesterday they brought out Pax and Maddox for a fun park day along with Shiloh and Zahara - click through to see the party of six in action!
