Brad Pitt

Welcome back to the first annual Tournament of THG: Couples Edition, where fans vote on the most popular celebrity couple in the entire universe!

The concept is simple: Pick your favorite of the two pairs in each poll. Done. YOUR VOTES will determine the winners of this tournament showdown.

So far in round one, Robsten is cruising over Khlomar, while Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are locked in a tight matchup against Will and Jada Smith.

Today, it's Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Sure, the latter pair is a very new couple, but they're one of the few that can compete with Brangelina visually. VOTE BELOW for your favorite couple:

Angelina Jolie's life sure is a roller coaster these days.

In the tabloids, anyway. Just yesterday, she was headed to rehab after a heroin relapse, having withered away to 99 pounds. Today? Pregnant with twins! Again!

Whenever Angelina and Brad Pitt appear together, there's a tenderness and joy in their shared glances - and it has nothing to do with his Oscar nod for Moneyball.

Now, for the second time this month, a tabloid has reported that Angelina is pregnant. This time, it's OK! doing the honors, and she's expecting twin boys! OMG!!

"They were both sp overjoyed at how quickly Angie became pregnant this time," says a confidante. "They said that it showed that this pregnancy was 'meant to be.'"

Aww. Just imagine if she actually were pregnant.

But when Angie's latest ultrasound revealed there were two heartbeats, well, they couldn't believe it: "They were totally shocked," says the source. We'll bet!

No word if Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and Knox and Vivienne, 3, have heard the fake news, or if they're still pressuring dad to marry mom.

Either way, "They are struggling to keep it a secret. They are totally excited and buzzing, but have only spilled the good news to close friends and family."

And, via this fake source, O freaking K! magazine.

Star’s cover story this week is all about Angelina Jolie and how she’s down to an emaciated 99 pounds due to shooting up heroin like a fiend apparently.

Three separate reasons this is ridiculous:

1. The magazine proclaimed Brad Pitt got Angelina Jolie pregnant not even a month ago. Guess that didn't pan out, given the image below?
2. The cover photo of the star is hilariously Photoshopped to the point where her head and body don't even look proportional any longer.
3. She looked slender, but healthy THIS WEEKEND.

While the 36-year-old actress is clearly thin, she's not anorexic. Her upper arms have some flesh on them, her cheeks look full enough, and so on.

Star's claim that the 5'7" actress weight has plummeted to 99 pounds seems full-on absurd, but that's their claim, citing the good ol' anonymous source:

“Angie has gotten so skinny and frail, Brad thinks she needs professional help,” the source said, adding that Brad staged an “intervention,” to get her help.

“Her face looks sunken. On the red carpet, her arms look like twigs.”

Uh huh. “Brad is really concerned with her eating habits,” the source adds. “She’s existing on cereal bars and smoothies and slipped to just 99 pounds."

"She is so thin yet will still go on a carrot-juice fast for days. Brad leaves food out all over the place hoping she’ll snack.” LOL. Sorry, we can't take anymore.

Just for fun, check out Star's cover from almost exactly a year ago after the jump. Must be something about Angelina Jolie this time of year ...

Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie really headed down the altar soon?

That's what could be expected, given Pitt's recent comments about the pressure to - and his desire to - propose, but according to Jolie, that's premature.

"I think anything said tends to be blown out of proportion," Jolie told People Sunday night at the SAG Awards, when asked about "a lot of ring-talk lately."

"Yeah, that was my fault," Pitt admitted with a smile.

Guess we know who wears the pants in that house.

The speculation about wedding bells in the near future for the famous couple stem from Pitt's remark that Brangelina is "getting a lot of pressure from the kids."

"It means something to them," he continued, adding that he would like to marry Angelina, and that "We will [get married] someday, we will. It's a great idea."

"'Please, get mommy a ring.' 'OK, I will, I will.' "

"It seems to mean more and more to our kids," he said. "I don't think we'll be able to hold out … it means something to me, to make that kind of commitment."

Probably not until Angelina demands it, however.

It takes a lot to topple Brangelina.

But, let's face it, if one man were up for the job, it would be George Clooney.

That's the mission facing this wildly popular actor below, as he and girlfriend Stacy Keibler have teamed up to take on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a SAG Awards-based Fashion Face-Off. Which couple looks hottest? Vote now:

Among other match-ups from last night's star-packed event:

• Emma Stone is up against Michelle Williams.
• Meryl Streep has challenged Viola Davis.
• Lea Michele is posing down fellow Glee star Dianna Agron.

Brad Pitt is well aware that an Internet search of his name yields hundreds of millions of results - not all of them positive and many full-on ridiculous.

Heck, you can learn all about how he got Angelina Jolie pregnant, how he's having an affair with Jennifer Aniston, and how he worried about Shiloh.

Most or all of which is untrue, of course ... which brings us to this quote:

"On all the kids' computers, we had our own names blocked," the actor told Germany's Bild in an interview. "They can't Google their mom and dad."

"I don't want to make myself dependent on what other people think."

Brad Pitt adds that he and Angelina Jolie aren't exactly searching for themselves either, for good reason. "We don't even notice all the noise," he said.

The same could be said for his stance on aging. Despite being just two years away from the big 5-0, the Moneyball star says he enjoys getting older.

"I love becoming an older man. Your thoughts get clearer."

Those thoughts may include a wedding in the works. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter - for real this time - that he would like to marry Angelina.

"It seems to mean more and more to our kids," he added.

Just don't expect them to find out via celeb gossip sites.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have long held the belief that marriage is not in the cards for them, at least until gay marriage is legal and everyone has the right.

Well, there are at least six reasons they may change their mind.

"We'd actually like to get married, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids," Pitt tells The Hollywood Reporter of the couple's current thoughts.

"We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to until everyone can, and we feel strongly about it. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out."

Does that mean he's proposed to Angelina Jolie, his partner of seven years? "I'm not going to go any further," says the Best Actor nominee for Moneyball.

"[But] it means so much to my kids, and they ask about it a lot these days. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment."

In any case, Brad it loving life these days, which wasn't always the case. Before Jolie and their brood, Pitt says he went through a much darker period.

"I used to deal with depression, not this decade - maybe last decade," says Pitt. "But that's also figuring out who you are. I see it as a great education."

"One of the seasons or a semester. 'This semester I majored in depression.'"

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh's sporting a shorter-than-ever hairdo these days. So short that one onlooker - gasp - mistook her for a boy. A boy!

Now, in the new issue of Life & Style, sources reveal that while the proud parents haved encourage their kids to be independent, Brad is increasingly concerned.

The scrutiny to which Shiloh is being subjected could be too much, he fears.

"It would crush Brad if one of his kids was picked on," says a friend of Angie's.

And there's reason for the parents to be on edge over Shiloh, caution experts.

"This is a culture where kids get picked on if they don't look like other kids," points out an alleged psychotherapist. "Shiloh's already different - being the daughter of big stars - and ultimately, she may already feel ostracized because of that."

Brad is going to worry, but also doesn't want to pressure her. "I want [my kids] to explore that innocence as long as possible and find out what's really interesting to them," he has said. "I just don't want to encumber them in any way."

What's really interesting to THG? Stories about Brad getting Angelina Jolie pregnant and leaving her for Jennifer Aniston approximately 15 times per year.

Not that many women can blame her, but Angelina Jolie raised some eyebrows with a risque remark about Brad Pitt before the Golden Globes last night.

While Brangelina were both the model of sophistication during interviews, Jolie let her guard down towards the end of her trip down the red carpet.

Asked what she was most looking forward to from the evening, the Associated Press says she winked and whispered: "Getting into bed with Brad."

The best part of the Golden Globes for Angie? The after-after party, in bed!

Jolie did not get into specifics regarding their bedtime routine or discuss whether Brad's cane makes an appearance between the sheets, if you know what we mean.

We mean he got hurt recently and walks with a cane.

Despite the A-list roster of attendees, the Golden Globes have a reputation for being much more laid back and fun than the Oscars that follow in February.

To that end, Jolie's quip about Brad was one of several priceless celebrity moments from the Beverly Hilton Hotel that television viewers never got to see.

The audience did see plenty of quality moments, though, from Ricky Gervais' off-color monologue to Seth Rogen's massive erection confession.

During a live video web chat with Marie Claire, Angelina Jolie revealed that she had a "complete meltdown" recently and that Brad Pitt found her crying in the shower.

When we heard that, several theories came to mind:

• She was devastated by the plight of refugees
• Jennifer Aniston is pining for Brad again
• Angelina Jolie is pregnant for reals

Turns out it was something much simpler: Nerves.

Before production began on her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, she felt the task was too daunting: "I thought, 'Who am I to take this on?'"

"I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad [Pitt] found me crying," Jolie revealed. "I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small."

"I didn't plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying I'm a director. I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up by default being the director."

"It was a pleasure, to say the least, but I wonder if it would be a pleasure with another cast and crew, and a subject matter that wasn't so special."

Jolie's film is nominated for a Golden Globe.
