“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 exploded on the set of his new WWII flick Fury when co-star Shia LaBeouf… suddenly smashed Brad in the kisser with the smoking-hot barrel of a machine gun!” claims the National Enquirer, which has botched stories about both actors for years.

According to the outlet’s source, the two men were in a tank while filming in England, when LaBeouf “became a bit too intrigued by the machine guns in the tank’s turrets and started firing the guns wildly between scenes.”

That’s when things allegedly turned ugly.

“The guns were loaded with blanks, not real bullets, but Brad was NOT happy with Shia goofing around. He tapped him on the shoulder, meaning to caution him, but Shia whipped the gun turret around and hit Brad smack in the face with the hot barrel!” says the Enquirer source.

A “livid” Pitt supposedly yelled at LaBeouf, who allegedly laughed, purportedly causing Pitt to snap and lunge at the younger actor.

“Crew members literally had to pull him off the jerk,” reports the Enquirer insider.

How dramatic!

Too bad it never happened!

A source close to LaBeouf tells Gossip Cop the Enquirer story is “ridiculous.”

Maybe the tabloid should check its facts before it spreads rumors, guns blazing.

“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.”
