BRAD RUNS TO JEN AS ANGELINA LAYS DOWN THE LAW
By ROBIN MIZRAHI
Angelina Jolie has stunned
Brad Pitt with a shocking
ultimatum over their future
together. In a showdown
between Hollywood's hottest
couple, the devoted mom told
Brad that her children — Maddox, four, and
six-month-old Zahara — will always be hers.
It left the actor so distraught, sources say,
that he reached out to estranged wife
Jennifer Aniston for advice.
According to a source close to Angelina, it
was just one of a list of demands the 30-year-old made to Brad — even before his
divorce to Aniston is finalized.
Coming just weeks after Angelina moved
into Brad's Malibu mansion with her children,
it is the clearest sign yet that she has set
her sights on the actor as her third husband.
Said an insider: "Angelina has been married
twice and she likes being married — it
gives her a feeling of security. And she'd like
her children to have a steady father figure.
"The problem is, she's jumping the gun.
Brad's probably still reeling from the
collapse of his marriage to Jennifer.
"He must have been stunned that Angelina
had planned out everything she wants
and needs out of a long-term, live-in relationship
with him. He must have felt as if she
was already assuming that they were
headed for marriage — when Brad is still far
away from committing."
The source said that Brad, 41, was so
taken back that he spoke to Jennifer about
it — and she warned him not to sign any
document Angelina prepares without consulting
his lawyer first.
"Jennifer has accepted that her marriage to
Brad is over — but I think she still harbors
deep resentment toward Angelina," said the
source. "I bet she doesn't trust her and she
can't want her and Brad to end up together."
Angelina's demands also had to do with
protecting her financial interests. According
to the source, she is demanding that
she will maintain at least one separate
residence at all times of their "union" to use
for "spiritual retreats and solitude."
"Brad was probably very uneasy about
this," said the source. "He's a real family man
and believes in closeness.
