Natalie Portman Is Probably Feeling Pretty Awesome Right Now

Muppet-mouthed maneater Angelina Jolie is widely considered the foxiest babe in the universe, but really, she's just like us. She craps. Sometimes. When she remembers to eat. And if you cut her, she bleeds. And then puts it into a vial and hangs it around her neck. And she actually feels insecure and jealous of other dames sometimes. Like young, fresh-faced blossom Natalie Portman, who's starring in a movie with Ang's pet boy, Brad Pitt. According to our own personal gossip phlebotamist, Female First,

The 'Changeling' star reportedly flew into a rage with partner Brad Pitt – with whom she raises six children – after learning the 'Closer' actress had personally asked for him to play her older lover in a new movie.

A source said: "Angelina had a massive fit and was shouting her head off. She accused Brad of flirting with Natalie. Angelina can't help but feel threatened. Brad knows how jealous she gets but won't stop saying how gorgeous and intelligent Natalie is. He keeps saying she is 'cute as a button.' "

Angelina and Brad have been dogged by rumours their relationship is in trouble in recent weeks. It was recently reported Brad had pleaded with his girlfriend to attend couples' counselling in a desperate bid to save their relationship.

Angelina is said to have agreed, but only after seeking the advice of her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton.

A source said: "This just caused more friction with Brad because although he doesn't have a problem with her talking to her exes, he doesn't understand why she would take Billy Bob's advice to try therapy as when he suggested it to her she reacted very angrily."

Doy. Billy Bob is the master of persuasive banter. That slick, silver-tongued devil.
