"Jen Tells Brad: 'I'll Take You Back!'"
Brad heard about Angelina's reported affair with her dialect coach (does he read In Touch?) and it was the last straw. When he got back to LA from New Orleans, he confronted her. They had a "knock-down, drag-out fight" and a friend says "Brad was in tears over it all. He couldn't stand to look at her." The mag writes: "He tore out of the house to think things over and drink the pain away." Sure he didn't storm off? Anyway he drove from LA to SF and had dinner and "threw back the booze for hours" before "he decided to turn to the one person who really knows his heart — Jen." A source says: "Around 3am, he broke down and dialed her number. He knew she would console him, like she always did when they were together. Jen calmed him down and told him she would be there for him, no matter what he's going through." After the Hope For Haiti benefit, "Brad and Jen had a coffee break." Is that a euphemism? "They were both smiling and staring at each other lovingly. Jen told Brad that the moment he and Angie make their breakup official, she's ready to try again." Also, Angelina allegedly gave all of her kids Asprey snake pendant necklaces and told them they would be safe as long as they wear them, "no matter what happens to Mommy and Daddy." Moving on. Lady Gaga had a "scary red line" on her arm at a concert in NYC. It looks like a curling iron burn, but Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, who does not treat her, says it looks like it came from a razor blade or kitchen knife. Next: A friend says that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick are "100% broken up." She dumped him because he was reportedly seen with another chick. Jessica Simpson is dating Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights (and also known for wearing a very small swim team uniform in The Covenant.) Blind item! "Which fame-hungry starlet and her hubby gift publishing people with $5000 Hermes bags to make sure they stay in the headlines? Don't worry, Star can't be bought." Our guesses? Heidi Montag… or the Kardashians. Pink and Carey Hart were on a romantic bike date and Carey was trying to show off for Pink, doing wheelies and tricks — when his shoelace got caught in the pedal and he fell down, with his bike on top of him. Once she made sure he was okay, Pink laughed hysterically. Zac Efron paid off both of his parents mortgages (they're married, but they live separately). Tiger Woods has been diagnosed as not just a sex addict but a LOVE addict. An "insider" says, "Love addicts keep people around for emotional validation." You know how the Times columnist declared that Courteney Cox was curvier than usual at the Golden Globes? Well, it's because she is 45 and pregnant, says Star. She's three months along and someone from Cougartown says she got IVF in November. Lastly: Kourtney Kardashian's ex is demanding a paternity test, because he thinks he's the father of Mason. Michael Girgenti says they had sex for an hour and describes the encounter thusly: "She was a wonderful lover and very beautiful. We didn't use any protection — she didn't ask me about it, and I was too caught up in the moment to think about it."
