The friend said that the fight happened because Brad is losing patience with her mood swings and ongoing struggle with her weight loss - and this is the reason why he bought his own place in Berlin.

In fact, he was overheard in a Berlin café talking about the new apartment he’d bought - saying he wanted a place of his own and that he’d be spending a lot of time there alone.

The couple already have a luxury flat in the city, so why would Brad need his own place, away from his family? Time will only tell.


Brad and Angelina’s theme park fun - July 22 2007
Brad, Angelina and the whole of the Pitt-Jolie family have reportedly been spotted having fun at a French theme park.

According to People.com, awed staff at the Aventure-Parc in Massignac, France’s Charente-Limousin region, offered to waive the 5 euro entry fee as soon as they figured out who the celebrity couple were, but Brad and Ange were having none of it.

They insisted on paying and spent over an hour enjoying the park.

The visit came days after Angelina finished filming her new film Wanted in Prague.

The website quotes local French newspaper Charente Libre which spoke to employees at the park about the visit.

One apparently said: "We don’t get French celebrities, so it’s completely crazy to find yourself standing with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the most chased-after couple in the world in front of you."

The park’s six workers were apparently having lunch together outside on the overcast day, when a blacked-out Mercedes pulled up with the Hollywood couple and their kids Maddox, Pax-Thien, and Zahara.

One worker told the website: "To see Brad Pitt knocking around in a bouncy castle with his children [and] screaming like wild animals was like a hallucination."


Angie’s father’s day wish - June 19 2007
Angelina Jolie has been estranged from father Jon Voight for some time - but now the star admits that she would think about sitting down with him again.

She told the Evening Standard: "I am hoping my relationship with my father will be more private in the future. At the end of the day, we both wish the best for each other and we’ll try to start communicating in some way."

The news will come as a relief to Jon, who has made no secret of his desire to mend fences between him and his daughter, as well as play a part in his grandchildren’s lives.

However, Angie has previously accused him of being unfair to his former wife and her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died earlier this year.

The actress is hitting the promotional circuit to tout her performance in movie, A Mighty Heart, based on the book by Mariane Pearl, wife of the murdered journalist Daniel.

The star, who portrays Mariane, has already had critical acclaim and awards buzz for her performance.


Angelina a ’Foreign Policy Leader’ - June 8 2007
Angelina Jolie joined "the next generation of foreign policy leaders" today, a leading US think-tank said.

The 32-year-old actress, who is already a UN Goodwill Ambassador, was nominated and recommended for approval by members of the Council on Foreign Relations.  She’ll join the likes of presidents Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as a member of the prestigious US foreign policy think-tank.

Lisa Shields, of the CFR, said: "Angelina Jolie is accomplished in her field and has demonstrated serious interest in issues such as Darfur, international education and refugees.  As such, her profile fits very well with other young professionals we’ve selected as the next generation of foreign policy leaders."
