Brad & Ange at breaking point

The fairytale is over — with Brad hitting the bottle and partying hard as Angelina checks into a hotel. Tim Plant reports…

Five years after hooking up in an affair that shook Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are spending so much time apart, that their relationship appears irreparably broken.

Brad travelled to Berlin alone on July 28 and drank and flirted like a bachelor with a string of women, including actress and long-time friend Diane Kruger, while Ange and their six kids were back in Los Angeles.

Angelina is reportedly so stressed by the constant fighting with Brad, and so concerned about his drinking, that she checked into a hotel to consider her options.

“Brad and Ange had a big fight in New York a couple of months ago while she was filming Salt, and things haven’t been the same since,” a member of the couple’s entourage reveals.

“Angelina fears that Brad could booze himself to an early grave. She told him during one fight, ‘You’re killing yourself’.”

And while they will have to put on happy faces to walk the red carpet when Brad’s film, Inglourious Basterds premieres in LA on August 10, “They are just not communicating, and Brad’s pulling away,” the insider adds.

“That’s new for Ange. She’s usually the one to pull away from men.”

The couple’s most recent battle erupted over Brad’s trip to Berlin for the German premiere of his film. At first Ange, 34, planned to tag along, but at the last minute he uninvited her.
