Brad Pitt Wasting Away —Troubling New Appearance

Brad Pitt stunned his fans while making the talk-show rounds in NYC — as the troubled heartthrob showed off a bony frame that had his clothes hanging off his gaunt body!

The star's stricken new look is a troubling twist to his post-split success story — with The National ENQUIRER having revealed how Brad gave up booze and drugs after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce! "I was boozing too much,” Brad confessed in a recent interview. But now the single guy — who's been staying up all night working on "art projects" — looks in desperate need of a meal.

Some insiders fear that Brad is following his pal George Clooney in a serious bout of "manorexia," joining Johnny Depp as aging stars turned scary-skinny! “Clearly, he’s losing sleep — and weight — over his split from Angelina,” confided a source, while adding: “George is so nervous about becoming a dad he’s losing weight, and too much of it!”

Meanwhile, Brad's ex Angelina has finally been putting on the pounds after years of being painfully thin. It's a bizarre trade-off that has pals happy for the newly-sober leading man — but also concerned about both Brad and George. “It’s one thing to trim down,” said the insider, “but these guys are skin and bones!”
