Internet rumours say that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have split. Photo / AP

KEY POINTS:

There's a wicked rumour doing the rounds on the interwebnet that

Brad Pitt

and

Angelina Jolie

have split.

It's been widely reported that the Hollywood couple, who have been an item for four years, decided to pull the plug on their romance - with Pitt's rumoured friendship with former flame

Jennifer Aniston

cited as a catalyst.

Is it dunzo for the perfect pair?

Utterly compelling trash purveyor

The National Enquirer

is spouting that

Brangelina

is the subject of "several shocking rumours" - all of which signal "that the super-couple have called it quits".

As ammunition to support the Splitsville theory, the tabloid adds that Brad and Ange "have not been seen together in public for weeks."

But a rep for Ange has piped up and trashed the tattle-talk, telling

Entertainment Tonight

that it's "absolutely not true."

Rumours started swirling after Pitt was spotted alone at the Toronto International Film Festival, while he promoted his new crime comedy

Burn After Reading

.

But the buff boyo was papped yesterday as he returned to their 880-acre passion pad in France - which rather does the dirty on those pesky split rumours.

And a snitch tells

Usmagazine.com

that the Pitt clan was spotted tucking into a big breakfast outside the chateau on the same day.

A celeb-spotting local said, "He seems happy."

Pitt confessed to

ET

(the show, not the alien) earlier this month that he is content - but tired.

"Sleep is something we long for, but that's alright, we'll get it soon. All good; everyone's healthy, and everyone's great," he said.

These two have been dogged by countless split rumours for as long as I can remember. Somehow, the fact that Pitt has yet to make an honest woman of Ange, coupled with the fact that they're both fully paid members of the divorced club, gives mileage to the theory that their romance will ultimately fail - well, according to the naysayers at least.

Rumour denied.

No Country for Old Men

In the latest issue of

magazine, Brolin junior says:

"My dad is probably one of the handsomest guys ever. I was making a joke and I said, 'If I was a chick, I'd f*** you.' He was like, 'You can't say that! Shut your mouth!'"

Daddy's right, you can't say things like that. Dirty love.

Paltrow reveals that Madge's Yoda-like rhetoric helped her get on with her life.

She says,: "She [Madonna] is one of the most caring women and then she's also a very tough woman... She's very wise and she has a very soft, soft side."

Apparently Madge's best pearls of wisdom channeled through during "a long wine-soaked dinner" - just as Paltrow was down in the dumps.

She adds, "She really helped me out of my post-natal depression. I had a very interesting talk with her one night... She was very wise about life's bigger picture and when obstacles come up in our life it's for a very specific reason - they're there to teach us something that we haven't learned yet.

"She kinda made me see that my post-natal depression was an opportunity for me to change certain things about the way I was living and the way I was going forward.

"She really sort of reorganised my molecules in that situation."

Molecules? Jeez, what kind of liquid lunch was this?

have been branded "too thin".

However, actress

Lori Loughlin

, who plays Annie's (

Shenae Grimes

) mother in the show, has defended the ladies' waif-like figures, insisting that none of them are starving themselves to look thin onscreen.

She tells

In Touch

magazine, "They are thin, but they've been thin since the day I met them. It's not like they got on the show and their weight just plummeted.

"Shenae is very petite; her frame doesn't even look like it could carry a lot of weight... I see them eating lunch and candy... These girls are young and their metabolisms are moving at light speed - they can eat whatever they want."

This news emerges only days after a rumour surfaced that the show's producers had told the slim ladies to "fatten up".

Francis made an appearance at the

He's also of the opinion that Li-Lo is straight.

You'll remember that Francis was rumoured to have dated Li-Lo during her wild partying days - which would undoubtedly send Ronson shuffling into a corner with a case of the incredible sulks.

"Which TV star is on the verge of being dumped by his hot girlfriend? The unlucky-in-love presenter's bedtime demands are just too kinky for this girl next door."

Mirror

"Which gorgeous actress almost lost a plum role recently because of her hair? And we're not talking about the hair on the top of her head. In the weeks leading up to production, she stopped shaving her underarms, legs and nether regions, claiming that it helped her get into character. She then refused to shave for the duration of the shoot. A frustrated director and frantic wardrobe team found themselves scrambling to provide new outfits to cover all her hairy bits."

British tab

The Sun

claimed that Mendes had glibly slipped into conversation that she'd been romping her way across America.

The tab claimed Mendes had said: "I've had sex in all 50 states. A lot of it was on a road trip I took when I was younger."

A big fat lie, according to Mendes' mouthpiece. The report is a "complete fabrication and is entirely untrue," she says.

"In fact, Ms. Mendes wasn't even present at the event at which these comments were supposedly made. The entire thing is absurd and offensive," the mouth added.

"She was playing with her hair and acting coy. At one point, Gerard had his hand on her thigh and was whispering in her ear. They looked so comfortable together."

Butler then kissed Aniston tenderly on the forehead before dragging himself away and emerging from their love bubble.

And so a beautiful romance was born...
