Angelina Jolie Wants Brad Pitt in Rehab

Angelina Jolie and Brad PittAngelina Jolie has ordered Brad Pitt to check into rehab.

The Tomb Raider star was furious when she found out Pitt — with whom she raises six children — had secretly shared hashish with Quentin Tarantino.

“Stop boozing and smoking drugs or check into rehab!” Angelina told Brad, according to insiders.

Brad — who was a self-confessed stoner when married to Jennifer Aniston — had promised Angelina his drug-using days were over after he became a dad — and she believed him.

But during a recent interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Inglourious Basterds director Tarantino revealed he’d smoked hash with Brad when he traveled to France to convince him to do the film.

“Tarantino’s interview allowed Angie to catch Brad getting high, and she EXPLODED,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“She gave him a choice — give it up or GET OUT!

“She made it very clear that she didn’t want drugs anywhere near their kids and she said that this was an issue where there weren’t any other options open to him if he wanted their relationship to continue.

“The same went for his drinking: Go to rehab — or leave.”

Megan Fox — Monogamist!

Megan FoxMegan Fox isn’t scared of monogamy.

“I have no problem with commitment — you can’t have a real relationship without it,” the Transformers star, 23, tells the October issue of Cosmopolitan.

“I can flip on a switch in my brain, and even if the next Brad Pitt is standing next to me, I won’t look at him,” added Fox, who is on-again with fiance Brian Austin Green. “But I can also turn that switch off, and then I collect attractive boys.”

Fox says she loves putting the typical “Hollywood type” man in his place.

“It’s fun when someone intends to put you in his back pocket, but instead, he walks away wounded. I make it a mind game so they don’t know if I’m hitting on them or mocking them,” she says. “Male actors drop lines about their private jets, trying to seem powerful, but I don’t give a s***. I don’t need someone else’s power. I’m obtaining my own.”

The brunette bombshell thinks all women dominate men in relationships.

“Women hold the power because we have the vaginas,” she says. “If you’re in a heterosexual relationship and you’re a female, you win.”

Taylor Lautner Can’t Get Used to The Paparazzi

Taylor LautnerTaylor Lautner admits he’s still struggling to deal with the attention he gets from the paparazzi.

The actor — who shot to fame in the Twilight movie franchise — say it isn’t “normal” to be constantly followed by photographers.

“You can’t ever get really used to it, because it’s not normal to have people snapping pictures of everything you do,” the 17-year-old tells Teen Vogue. “You just have to try not to let it affect you.”

Of his rise to fame, Taylor said, “I think the fans would love anybody who played Jacob … I’m just lucky to be the one who got the chance.”

Taylor also revealed that his karate coach — who also happened to have been a blue Power Ranger — inspired him to get into acting.

“At first, I wasn’t interested,” he says. But by the end of the month, “I liked it.”

Lautner stays mum when it comes to the gossip surrounding costars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson — or his own rumored relationship with Disney’s Selena Gomez.

“She’s a great girl,” he says.

The singer — who was recently sentenced to five years probation for the February assault of the Umbrella hitmaker — insists he still has feelings for his former flame.

Brown sat down with People magazine for his first interview and — as his mother Joyce Hawkins, a victim of domestic abuse herself, sat nearby.

He opened up about his shame over that “terrible” night, his enduring love for Rihanna and why he swears he’ll never hit a woman again.

“I never fell out of love with her,” he said. “That just wouldn’t go away.”

He says after the assault, “I was distraught … I went to my mom on the same night and told [her] what happened and broke down.”

Chris says he’s different from his stepfather, who he says regularly abused his mother because, “I feel like he enjoyed it. He was an abuser. It was continuous.”

Kylie MinogueKylie Minogue has a secret dream — she wants to become invisible!

The Spinning Around hitmaker says she often wishes she wasn’t famous and could walk the streets unnoticed.

“If I had a day off, that’s the day I wish my life was a little more, I don’t want to use the word ordinary, but a little more, well, I wish I could be invisible,” she said.

“I would walk around the streets, go shopping, meet my girlfriends for lunch, talk to my boyfriend about dinner, which bottle of wine we are going to have. All the simple pleasures.”

Kylie also revealed that her “defining moment” came when she battled breast cancer in 2005 and 2006.

Blind Items!

Blind Items1) “We thought we knew every move this Award-winning girl made. After all, she loves to be seen with high-profile and very wealthy men, and she never shies away from publicity. Therefore, we were a little red-faced to suddenly discover that she has allegedly been dating someone for over a year. If you are a fan of hers, you certainly know who he is, as you’ve seen them together many times. We just can’t believe that she’s been so devious as to hide the romantic side of their relationship from the public for this long.” [Blind Gossip]

2) “This permanent B list television and film actor and Golden Globe winner/nominee has had a string of normal sexual relationships with the women in his life. It is only when he is with men that he explores his more umm eccentric pleasures. He loves nothing more than to be spanked and whipped. Umm, yeah, sounds like fun.” [CDAN]

Kristen Stewart Doesn’t Care About Fashion

Kristen StewartKristen Stewart isn’t bothered about fashion — she just goes with the flow and wears what she likes!

The Twilight star, 19, insists she doesn’t go out of her way to buy designer labels, ‘cos she’s happy to wear clothes that she finds “on a rail.”

“Fashion isn’t something I think about a whole lot and it’s such a large area of the media,” Stewart told British newspaper The Independent. “It’s weird.”

Kristen — who can soon be seen starring alongside The SopranosJames Gandolfini in upcoming “stripper movie” Welcome to the Rileys — also revealed that she likes the choices afforded her by Twilight and is too smart to complain about any downside.

“It’s easier now to do things I really like, like an independent movie that nobody sees,” she said. “Now it’ll be: ‘Oh, let’s go see Bella in this stripper movie!’ It’ll be crazy.”

Stewart says making Welcome to the Rileys was the “most fruitful life-changing movie experience I’ve ever had. It was the hardest subject-matter. I play a very broken young girl working in a strip club.”

Stewart — who is rumored to be dating her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson — has previously revealed that she gets sent free designer clothes — but doesn’t get to keep them.

Welcome to the Rileys will likely hit movie theaters later this year, although no official release dates have been announced.

Gerard Butler Unfazed by Sex Symbol Status

Gerard ButlerGerard Butler insists he doesn’t mind being called a sex symbol — he takes it all in his stride.

The Scottish actor — who has been romantically linked to actress Jennifer Aniston, his costar in new movie The Bounty — says it’s better to be appreciated than to not be appreciated.

“I joke with [becoming a sex symbol] because it’s way better to be appreciated than to not be appreciated,” said Butler. “For anybody to blow it off and dismiss it, they’re either insane or they’re just not being honest or they’re being extremely arrogant. …

“As you’re saying that, my natural response is going to be, ‘Well, I don’t really see it.’ But then again, I do — just on the street sometimes.”

Butler, 39, also revealed that he was once days away from becoming a lawyer but was fired because of too much partying.

“I’m not exaggerating when I say seven days from qualifying after seven years of my life and I was let go,” he said. “I couldn’t deny any more that I had issues in how I was living my life. But I also was in many ways set free from what did feel like a prison sentence for what my soul was. Obviously, I was meant to be here.”
