A week ago, the tabs were abuzz (again) with talk that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were breaking up. And if you recall, Gossip Cop was ahead of the curve, calling those rumors “bullsplit.”

For those still questioning whether they are or aren’t together, here are some notes from friends of ours who saw the couple last night at the Director’s Guild of America Awards, held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

According to one Gossip Cop pal, “They were smiling, happy and seemed to be enjoying a night out together.” That same source says, “They shared a few private jokes… Angelina laughed a number of times after Brad whispered stuff in her ear.”

Another onlooker tells Gossip Cop that Pitt, who was at the awards to introduce his “Inglourious Basterds” director, Quentin Tarantino, “kept his hand – a few times- on the small of [Angelina's] back. It was sweet.”

Hopefully, the media will remain sweet to them as well for the time being.
