Brad & Angie: Keeping Up Appearances?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently crushed all the separation talk by appearing together at Cannes. There had been a lot of speculation that the pair were on the rocks. Further more Jolie, who was busy wrapping up Salt, was said to have no plans to swing by France where her high profile partner was promoting his Inglorious Bastards flick. When she showed up at Cannes and on Pitt's arm, that left a lot of professional tattlers scratching their heads.

it's a matter of time

The talk hasn't completely stopped. For one thing their French appearance is probably the only time they've got scheduled together for many many months. When the Bradster wraps up his Bastards tour, he goes straight to work on a little project called Moneyball, set to film in Northern California. In fact Moneyball is set to start before Salt wraps up. So it's not like they're gonna have much time together in the immediate future.

Communication: if you can avoid it then your relationship has a chance

That's probably just as well. For one thing they've got some important stuff to talk about, like Jennifer Aniston. The usual unnamed sources describe Aniston as the major bug up Jolie's behind. In fact here has been growing stress between her and Pitt over his continued friendship with his ex. When she found out about Pitt's recent visit with Aniston, she blew a gasket. She demanded that Brad cut all ties with Jen. Showing uncharacteristic gumption, or maybe tired of being bullied, Brad stood up to her. Instead of cutting off contact with Aniston, he intends to have even more! Well that's according to US Magazine anyway. So that time apart might provide a valuable cooling off period.

Did Angie have the meter running?

Then again it's not like their Cannes time was quality time. Jolie showed up and put in her appearance on Brad's arm while he was promoting his flick. When the camera's weren't rolling the smile disappeared, and she often headed off to her room. That left Brad on his own. So that has some cynical types calling their public display of affection a charade. It was a brief charade too, since Angie showed up and was gone again in under 36 hours! So while the Pittwatch is officially off, unofficially everyone's waiting to see what happens next. Stay tuned!
