CLAIM: Angelina Jolie Headed to “Rehab”

Truth rating: 0

(Star magazine)

Angelina Jolie is the victim of some pretty dirty tricks in this week’s Star magazine.

“WASTED! Rehab For Angie” shouts the cover, which promises a “heroin shocker.”

The real “shocker” is how Star thinks it can get away with this total misrepresentation.

According to the mag, Jolie “looked utterly exhausted and out of it” at the Berlin premiere of The Tourist, with one “insider” saying observers wondered “if there was more to it, like she was on drugs or something.”

Allegedly worried about her after a “secret collapse at home,” Brad Pitt has “implored” her to get help, with a tabloid source explaining, “He fears that she’s slowly destroying herself and that it’s time for rehabilitation.”

Rehab for what exactly?

Well, Star can’t say, of course.

The magazine’s “insiders” allege that Jolie is coping with stress by drinking a bottle of wine a day and popping Ambien at night. Pitt is supposedly terrified that she could “overdose.”

But what about the “heroin shocker” blaring on Star‘s cover?

The mag doesn’t have one – just a reminder Jolie used heroin years ago, then raising the possibility she could relapse.

It’s a particularly nasty bait-and-switch.

And if you’re wondering why no other outlets that covered The Tourist premiere had mentioned the world’s most famous movie star looking drugged out and unsteady, it’s because it’s simply not true, as sources tell Gossip Cop.

Gossip Cop also reached out to several sources and none could back up Star‘s claims of Jolie allegedly collapsing or popping pills.

    I don’t particularly care for Angelina, but I feel bad for her kids because I’m sure that Maddox, at least, now that he’s of an age to be using the computer, is probably subjected to these kinds of stories and that’s pretty sad.

    Not saying I don’t believe in freedom of speech and press, just that I hope he’s been warned that he might see slanderous things written about his folks and that they don’t have that awkward “Uh, Mommy, what’s… ‘heroin’?” conversation at the dinner table in front of the littler kids… LOL

    Please Ms Angie ! you have to be strong and get well soon if this story is true !

    Please do it for the sake of your Kids and people that loves you now and always !!

    If people would stop purchasing these stupid magazines they’d go out of business. I never buy the Star, National Enquirer, or In Touch as they literally make up headlines to draw in the stupid people who buy them.

    I agree about purchasing the “RAGS”. Please people, stop buying them. Let’s try to put them out of businessl As for the actual “story” .. here we go again! When there is no juicy Angie and Brad news because they are so happy, and enjoying their family, lives, and work, just make up some s**t, and throw it against the wall and hope it sticks! I hope Sonia’s first language is Italian, because she seems to have missed the point of the story. Gossip Cop is saying the story is NOT true. Nice that she is concerned about Angie, but concern is not necessary. Angie, as always, is just fine!

    Why can’t people and the trashloids just LEAVE ANGELINA ALONE! I’m so sick of this malicious vendetta Star has against Angelina. They couldn’t make it any more obvious if they tried. Why do the trashloids HATE her SO much? Why can’t they stop victimising her and spreading hateful malcious and evil stories about her? Why can’t people just give her a break and leave her alone?

    Message for Ms Anne Symington: I said that, I was concerned about Ms Jolie if this allegations are true and not a fabrication from the tabloids!

    But we don’t know if all this is true or NOT !

    We cannot guess !

    Sonia, we DO know that it ISN”T true. Clearly there is something wrong with you if you think this is a point of discussion. Angelina has never even been addicted to heroin ever, so why would she be now? A mother, UN Ambassador, does all her own stunts – please, use your bloody BRAINS, Sonia. Common SENSE tells one this is bs, so what your ‘we don’t know if all this is true or not’ has to do with anything I don’t know. We all KNOW its not true. You’re just very slow.

    This message is for Chloe !

    I DID NOT MENTIONED ABOUT HEROIN AT ALL !

    SOME Stars TAKES DRUGS PILLS TO PERFORM WELL while acting especially when are under pressure from the media etc…

    But as I said, we don’t know and we cannot be sure of the verity !

    Please DON’T SWEAR TO ME because I don’t like that kind of language !

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sonia-Deriu/760301978 Sonia Deriu

    I don’t know anymore who I have to believe and what to believe !

    Unless I heard Ms Jolie version, then I will believe her, but at the end of the day is not our business about her private life. As long she is well and happy !

    Always her admirer

    Angelina has been so much under pressure to conform to this Princess Diana image. Remember, she had a tough beginning with drugs, pre-Brad Pitt. It is tough to live up to that constant barrage of megapixel flashes. Sadly, many use it to cope, but it becomes a viscous cycle. I pray for the kids.

  • Chloe_

    Sonia, the ARTICLE is about heroin. I’m beginning to think you don’t even understand what you are doing on here.

    You took the article as truth and spoke of it, as IF it WERE true, and only as an afterthought then added that it may not be true. When it should have been the reverse. And as I said, we know that it is NOT true. My problem is you spoke as if it were true FIRST, and only AFTER you acknowledged that it may not be. Very stupid way to react.

    Lastly, perhaps its different in Italy, but I have not used ANY swear words. Bloody is NOT a swear word in anyone’s language, nor is bs – I never used the full words. I never swore anywhere. Perhaps in addition to not understanding that its obvious the article about Jolie being in rehab FOR HEROIN, you don’t understand what swearing is?

  • Chloe_

    Bruce Baker, no need to pray for the kids, as the article isn’t true. Perhaps you could pray for commonsense for yourself, and the ability to actually read?

  • Chloe_

    Sorry Sonia, but this really sticks out at me: “Unless I heard Ms Jolie version, then I will believe her”

    Um, so you are saying that it is GUILTY, until Angelina personally denies it? So you ASSUME *guilt*, before innocence?

    How about believing she is INNOCENT, unless PROVEN otherwise? How about trying THAT! Sorry, but you are no admirer. You believe trashy articles about her, you speak as if you BELIEVE they are true, and to top it all off, you even say that you will believe the article, UNLESS Angelina herself personally denies it (what celeb spends their time denying everything written about them?).

    You are far from an admirer, and she certainly doesn’t need ‘admirers’ who refuse to give her the benefit of the doubt. ‘Admirers’ like that, she can certainly do without!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sonia-Deriu/760301978 Sonia Deriu

    Chloe:

    May be you are pretending of NOT to understand OR you don’t want understand !

    WE ARE NOT IN A COURT ROOM HERE TO JUDGE PEOPLE !

    I NEVER I SAID SHE IS GUILTY and never I WILL SAY SO ! BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW HER PERSONALLY !

    IT’S ONLY IN YOUR IMAGINATION ALL THIS ! YOU ARE THINKING THAT I THOUGHT BAD ABOUT HER !

    YOU CANNOT ASSUME THAT, PEOPLE THINK BAD. IS EVERYTHING IN YOUR BRAIN !!

    I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN ! HAVE YOU GOT SOMEKIND OF MENTAL DISORDER ??

    First, in the interest of full disclosure, I am not a Brad/Angie fan. Quite the opposite. Having said that, I feel really bad about anyone being falsely accused of anything. I do worry about their kids being dragged all over God’s creation. The most important thing to a child’s healthy growth and well being is love. It seems that they get plenty of that. The second most (VERY VERY) important thing is STABILITY, of which they seem to have none. This will greatly diminish their self-confidence around other people (this seems backwards, but I know first-hand), trust in others and ability to form lasting relationships. They will always feel unsettled and having to move on to the next big thing. So, we should be praying for the children, just for other reasons.

    It is repeatedly stated in these comments that we KNOW that this rumor is not true. While I feel that it is unlikely, given all the Angie accomplishes, the truth is that we don’t KNOW whether this is true or not. Unless it is absolutely proven not to be true we just don’t know. But making stuff up and slandering people is journalistically irresponsible and just plain wrong, not to mention possible grounds for slander, liable and defamation of character. I am in total agreement that if people would stop buying this trash it would go away. God Bless the Children.

  • Chloe_

    Sonia, clearly English is not your native language, or you are mentally effed up in the head. You ACTED as if it WERE true, yet NOW say we shouldn’t judge????

    THATS WHAT I SAID, ALL ALONG, you dumb fcken idiot! THAT WAS MY POINT!!! But, no you argued the point, saying you FEEL it COULD be true. NOW, you are saying the opposite? You are truly the disturbed one and need pyschological help, because something is seriously wrong with your cognitive and reasoning abilities. You are so effed up in the head, you don’t know WHAT you are thinking, from one minute to the next. For goodness sake, GET HELP!!

    Actually, Ava Johnson, ask any child of Diplomats. Children who are widely tavelled, are MORE confident, more CULTURED, more ADAPTABLE, and MORE easily able to make friends than those that stay shackled to the one place. Children of Diplomats and those that travel frequently are mature ahead of their years, well-assured and confident. It is the BEST thing you can do for your child, its a GREAT lifestyle! Angelina’s children will be so much better off, its a brilliant lifestyle. And, the school the kids go to is an INTERNATIONAL school, that has branches in EVERY major and in some minor, countries, so no matter the country they are in, they attend the same school, there is no interruption to their schooling, as the lessons are at the exact same stage/timetable throughout the year in EVERY branch.

    Truly, it is a FAR BETTER life than us poor uncultured plebs shackled in one place. These children who travel have wisdom, maturity confidence and self-assurance well above their years and are so grown-up and well-adjusted. I envy them.
