As rumors of a Brangelina break-up threaten to overtake even the Tiger Woods drama, everyone is weighing in—and Brad Pitt’s family is firmly on Team Jen. Sources tell the Sun Pitt’s brother Doug has been urging Brad to end the non-marriage, which has been “loveless” for a year. Brad’s mother is reportedly still close to Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie didn’t score any points by refusing to spend time with her not-quite-in-laws over the holidays.
Meanwhile, tell-all author Ian Halperin says one of Pitt’s friends confirmed the relationship “is over,” he tells the New York Daily News—and that’s enough to make Gawker believe the rumors aren’t true. Halperin “is always getting stuff wrong,” Maureen O'Connor writes. But, Foster Kamer points out, even TMZ has jumped on the they’re-not-breaking-up bandwagon, and they’ve “screwed the pooch” on stories that aren’t about dead celebrities before. Who knows what to believe?
