Angelina Jolie Brings In Personal Chef To Save Her Life

Angelina Jolie is desperate to gain weight — with insiders reporting that the scary-skinny star is learning to whip up healthy dishes for herself and her brood from a pro chef!

Before her bitter bust-up from Brad Pitt, said sources, the workaholic actress only ate because her husband insisted on meals. Now that he’s gone, Angie is a single mom in charge of meals for Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and nine-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. “So,” the source explained, “she has a personal chef come to her home to give her lessons!”

“She’s even learning how to food-shop reading nutrition labels,” the insider continued. “She didn’t do that before.” While Angelina still appears to be painfully thin, she's put on some weight — as seen at a Whole Foods store where sources saw her buying “a lot of vegetables, gluten-free breads, oatmeal, soups, cage-free eggs, cheeses, almond milk, pasta and meats and popcorn.”

Already too thin, the "Maleficent" beauty’s weight plunged dramatically after the start of her bitter divorce. Dr. Stuart Fischer — author of "The Park Avenue Diet," who has not treated Angie — told The National ENQUIRER that the 5'7" star had wasted away to a dangerously skeletal 82 pounds. “She’s learning to make healthy foods for the kids that she’ll also eat,” said the insider. “Not eating isn’t an option anymore!”
