Why We Don't Buy the Brangelina Split Rumors

The rumor that the world's most famous couple -- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- has called it quits has spread like wildfire after British tabloid News of The World revealed the details of an alleged legal separation agreement between Brangelina (even through they are not legally married!). However, for several big reasons, Naughty But Nice and PopEater don't buy it. After the jump, we explain how you'll know when Brad and Angie are really over.
In the News of the World report, the British tabloid claims the duo have signed a $300+ million separation agreement, breaking down the financial and familial details of a post-Brangelina world.
Angelina Jolie has iron-fisted control when it comes to her public image and how or when news gets into the public eye. A potential split isn't the sort of story she would let slip out in a (shady) British tabloid in sensational style. Oh no, that's just not Angie's style.
"Angie knows better than anyone in Hollywood that a picture is worth a thousand words. She announced she was dating Brad when picture emerged of them together on a very secluded beach," a senior editor of a major entertainment outlet told me. Hmmm, I wonder who tipped that photographer off?
Then there was the time pictures leaked of Angie, Brad and son Maddox playing family together in the garden of a private estate in England. And let's not forget every child Angelina has had have all been announced in gorgeous, glossy pictures on the cover of People magazine.
Now, PEOPLE -- Brangelina's publication of choice --
is reporting that the rumors are "totally false" and that "everything is fine" between the couple, citing a source inside the couple's camp. Also,
a TMZ source declares the split report as "B.S."
Ian Halperin, author of the book 'Brangelina,' details Jolie's media finessing in his book. He
told PopEater in December: "I don't think she's evil, but she's definitely manipulative and she's definitely scheming. She's an amazing deflector of criticism in the press. She knows how to do amazing spin doctoring." Halperin also predicted the supercouple would last no more than 15-18 months.
"I will not believe the couple has split until Angie stages a picture of her and the kids all alone stating in front of the Taj Mahal," a friend of the actress tells me. We're guessing that picture will be on the cover of People magazine -- not the shady News of The World.

SHE PROBABLE STARTED THOSE RUMORS HERSELF I ORDER TO BE ON THE SPOT LIGHT IN TIME OF AWARDS SEASON,, SINCE SHE IS NOT NOMINATED...HER EGO PRECEDES HER, SHE ALWAYS HAS USED SCANDALS TO GET PUBLICITY
My sediments EXACTLY.
Then you have People Magazine showing them having a big date night the same day CBS news announced they had split. Leave them alone. It is none of our business.
Wow, you guys should really stop hating! None of you actually know these people and instead of talking about Jennifer Aniston (talent-less, boring, pathetic woman banking on the pity of others), you guys should consider their kids. They have built a beautiful family and how done wonders towards helping the needy. I don't know many other women that have done so much good deed. She seems to make Brad really happy; and so what if she has a unique past, at least she's not afraid to be herself and refuses to be shoved into the blond-bimbo-fake-sweetheart mold.
BTW, your ETC's don't help in proving your point, AT ALL.
Hey Mia Bayar............can you spell HYPOCRITE!!! You tell people to stop hating cause we don't know these people and then you state how Jennifer Aniston is pathetic and boring, looking for pity....I take it you and she are close friends?? And when exactly did she ask for pity...never that I recall....it's all of you people who can't seem to let it rest..not her. You applaud Angie for being herself and then put down Jen for doing the same....you are the worst kind of poster on here....you disguise your own hatred by pointing your finger at others...
Charles Osgood reported that the British Tabloids said they split. He didn't confirm it.
Hater. Why people can't leave them along, together or not, it's not up to anyone to judge. You don't have any right to judge anyone without really know people. So. get a life and grow up
I'm not gonna believe any tabloid! And not only relating to Brad and Angie, but to any other celeb!
1. Angelina has been pregnant for the 1,000 time in so much tabloids, but it suddenly turns out...she isn't!
2. Same as Britney, who is kinda like an elephant cause some mags said she was pregnant.... but she still hasn't given birth.
3. Cause the writers have such a streaming imagination, they could take over Spielberg's career!

Rob-Your name sounds eerily familiar-don't you work for Popeater? Sorry if I blew your cover! lol
Rob, my money's on your prediction!! So far, we've heard nothing from Brangelina-I won't believe it until I read it in People, or they make that statement-it's amazing, though, how this brought out the vitriol in so many people!!!
Yup, it looks like the tabloids told the truth for a change. Charles Osgood did make the announcement this morning. It was only a matter of time before Brad lost interest. All cats are gray in the dark. Her obsession with acquiring more & more kids would also get in the way of "romance". He's another nit-wit GUY, & she's got issues of her own. Aniston must be laughing her a** off.

You and Suz ought to get together! Think of all the negativity you two could spew, if you put your nasty heads together!! (Is there anyone you have positive feelings about? Give people a break, and blog it-show your human!! Suz, that goes for you, too!)
Hey I'm with you. I cannot imagen what he saw in her in the first place. I would think she'd be a monster to live with, if Brad had any brains he'd try and get back with Jen--if she'd even take him back.
If no-talent Aniston is laughing, it only shows how nuts she is. She is so desperate to catch a man--any man--that she drives them away. Take a look at the face of any man unlucky enough to be photographed with her.
Oh plueez - Jen needs to go in for some serious "fumigation" - she has had so many "termites" in that attic that I'm surprised all her innards haven't fallen out. Jen is sooooo needy - she will bed anyone as long as they can keep her in the spotlight. Can you remember the last time she wasn't with someone new, or someone old. Jen to men is just someone to bang, but never one to marry.
Turns out the tabs lied again. People can say all the nasty things they want about this couple.
All anybody need do is look at the two of them to know they are a great match. Brad left Anniston for good reason. The man asked repeatedly for the two of them make a home and have children. Jen repeatedly said no in very public venues. She is a selfish egomaniac. What man would not leave her. Look at all the men she has been with and then without since Brad left her. It is all about herself. Jolie at least has done the world and needy children all over the planet an immense amount of good. When was the last time you Jen donate 11 million dollars to needy children? Or build an orphanage with her own money?
She is evil and manipulative.
Wonder why it took Brad so long to figure it out.
Guess he is as shallow as he seems.
I bet he kicks himself every day that he lost Jen.
Any idiot could see that Brad was just her lastest challenge.
She got him but didn't want to keep him.
Just like her experiment with her bi-sexuality, Billy Bob, her brother romance etc.
