Angelina Jolie “Tragic Health News” Is Just Another Bogus OK! Cover Story

(OK!)

OK! magazine’s truly embarrassing recent run of cover stories continues this week with a ghastly, sensationalized scare piece about Angelina Jolie’s allegedly “tragic health news.”

According to the tabloid, which sold its readers a 100 percent false story about Jolie expecting twins three months ago, doctors fear the actress is now “risking her life.”

How so?

OK! fails to say, really.

Jolie apparently is showing “surprising gauntness just six months after her preventative cancer surgery,” says the magazine.

“With everything she’s put her body through — the surgery and the stress of [directing] this movie [Unbroken] — she’s really defying her doctor’s orders and putting her life in danger by not eating or sleeping,” a so-called “insider” tells OK!

The mag’s source adds that Brad Pitt has told her “she’s way too thin right now. It’s really driving him crazy. He’s been telling her for years to stop starving herself, but she just doesn’t listen. It’s nothing short of tragic that she doesn’t take care of her health.”

In other words, there’s NOTHING NEW HERE.

Before Jolie went public with her surgery, OK! was blathering about how her weight had plummeted as she allegedly starved herself.

Tabloids have been making bogus claims about Jolie’s supposed extreme weight loss for years — and yet she remains active, healthy, and pretty much the same weight as always.

This cover story is just empty alarmism from an outlet that owns a terrible recent track record with Jolie stories.

A source close to Jolie tells Gossip Cop it’s “totally off base.”

CLAIM: Brad Pitt Smelly Because He Stopped Using Soap

“It’s a good thing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now working on separate projects 10,000 miles apart — because the screen hunk has sworn off soap!” declares the National Enquirer, which has spent the year spreading false rumors about the couple.

This one is particularly absurd.

According to the tabloid, Pitt “recently started using a homemade concoction of lemons, water and apple cider vinegar instead of soap.”

“Brad says he’s read up on the toxins of soap — especially the antibacterial ones — and feels that using them and antiperspirants is not only bad for the planet, but it also speeds up the aging process in humans,” explains an Enquirer insider.

The mag’s source adds, “But Angie was revolted, and their kids even started calling him ‘Stinky Daddy.’ Angie agreed to humor him only as long as they weren’t on the same continent.”

Except that when the couple recently reunited in Hong Kong, says the Enquirer, Jolie “managed to coax him into a bubble bath.”

Oh, please.

None of this happened.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie started working in different countries, and the National Enquirer got antsy for a bizarre “story” to run during their geographic separation.

There’s no personal hygiene crisis here.

A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the Enquirer report is “a joke.”

Brad Pitt “Jealous Rage” Over Angelina Jolie and Japanese Rock Star Miyavi?

Brad Pitt is in a jealous rage over Angelina Jolie wooing a sexy Japanese rock star to play the villain in her new film — because the tattooed music man looks a LOT like Angie’s former lesbian lover!” declares the National Enquirer, which continues to embarrass itself with outrageously wrong reporting on Jolie.

The clueless tabloid’s latest bad stunt concerns Jolie’s casting Miyavi (real name Takamasa Ishihara) as sadistic prison guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe in the upcoming Unbroken.

“Angelina was absolutely hypnotized by Miyavi’s haunting audition for the film,” a so-called “source” tells the Enquirer, which adds that Jolie “couldn’t stop talking about the gender-bending rocker, who loves to wear makeup.”

And why is this a problem for Pitt?

According to the tabloid’s tipster, “Miyavi bears a striking resemblance to Angie’s former lesbian lover Jenny Shimizu — and that fact wasn’t lost on Brad.”

Never mind that Miyavi is married with children.

Never mind that Jolie and Pitt have been together for almost a decade and have children.

The Japanese musician’s resemblance to Shimizu, whom Jolie hooked up with nearly 20 years ago, is supposedly freaking out Pitt?

This is ABSURD.

“Angie told Brad that she’d probably have to spend a lot of time coaching Miyavi because he’s never had a major Hollywood role before,” says the Enquirer source. “That sent Brad over the edge. He’s halfway around the world in England while Angie’s reading lines with this sexy Asian rocker.”

Enough.

The Enquirer is trying to create controversy out of nothing.

A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the story is “totally false.”
