BRANGIE: IT'S OVER!

Insiders say Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are pulling the plug on their nearly five-year relationship after she blew off his tough-love ultimatum: "Get help now or I'm out," say sources.

The superstar couple locked horns in a final fight at a New York City restaurant after Brad insisted Angie seek professional treatment for her emotional demons and physical issues, according to insiders.

"Brad and Angelina are calling it quits," an insider told The ENQUIRER.

"For the short term they will put on a united front for their children, but behind the scenes it's come down to deciding custody issues and sorting out their tangled finances."

As The ENQUIRER has reported, Brad had been watching for months as Angelina, 34, struggled with self-destructive behavior, including a suicide attempt and her weight plunging to a stick-thin 104 pounds.

The 46-year-old movie hunk reached the end of his rope, sources say, after the mother of six told a German fan mag: "I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship."

The two were calmly discussing Angie's comment at their New York Hotel in December, but their conversation turned violent when he brought up his friendship with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

"Angie snapped and lost control. She acted like a woman possessed," divulged the insider.

"She yelled, grabbed, flailed at and pushed Brad."

ANGIE: LIFE AFTER BRAD

Bye Brad - Angelina Jolie is moving on!

After a bitter spat that prompted her and Brad Pitt to pull the plug on their once-committed relationship, she's packing up for an extended stay in Europe, and will adopt another child, sources say.

"Angie is throwing her energy into building a life apart from Brad," an insider told The ENQUIRER.

"Angie is already packing her and the kids' clothes and personal effects for an extended stay in Europe while she and Brad work out child custody arrangements and the financial terms of their split."

The 34-year-old mother of six is set to begin production soon on the spy thriller The Tourist which will film in Prague and Venice. And she'll rely on her brother, 36-year-old actor James, to help during the adoption process, said the source.

"Angie's strategy is to decompress for a while at the couple's leased estate in southern France," said the insider.

As The ENQUIRER recently reported, Brad and Angelina's nearly five-year relationship buckled under months of stress, including a failed suicide attempt by Angelina and a frightening collapse after the 5-foot-7 beauty's weight dipped to a stick-thin 104 pounds.

In December, after Angelina temporarily kicked the 46-year-old Inglorious Basterds star out of their Los Angeles home because of his boozing, she physically attacked him when he made a cheating confession about ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

Soon after, during a fight over dinner on Jan. 6 in New York City, Angie rejected Brad's ultimatum that she seek professional treatment for her emotional demons and physical issues.

"Angelina feels her life with Brad has been toxic. She's looking forward to a new beginning," continued the insider.

Oh, the drama! And Jen gets yet another mention!

**rollo** · January 20th, 2010, 08:09 AM

^ Yes, they can split up and find new partners (probably already have) without getting Jenni's hopes up. How cruel.

**Mel1973** · January 20th, 2010, 08:38 AM

I doubt her hopes would be up. If I were either one of the ladies involved, I think I'd be glad to be shuck of his vanilla ass. That dimwitted sumbitch has gotten a pass on every fucking thing he's done and let it all be blamed on one of the two women involved. He's a pussy and he needs to just go shack with Clooney and get it over with!

**shedevilang** · January 20th, 2010, 08:57 AM

^what she (mel) said +1000

**Birdina** · January 20th, 2010, 10:02 AM

Jolie is so psycho that I believe every word of this. I bet Brad is just trying to get out alive, not that he deserves to.

**Sarzy** · January 20th, 2010, 10:05 AM

Well one day one of these 'break up' stories will be correct. There's been about a zillion of them so far that have been wrong, but odds are it'll be true soon.

**sluce** · January 20th, 2010, 10:16 AM

Nah - these crazy kids plant the stories just so they can then stage a date night and show the world how happy they are again. They will be together forever - or as long as it keeps getting them press.

**bellini** · January 20th, 2010, 10:23 AM

Why is this story different than any of the other break up stories?

Say it is true, why on earth would she want to adopt another kid? That really is crazy.

**sluce** · January 20th, 2010, 10:23 AM

It's not really different, except that it's the National Enquirer. NE actually gets things right sometimes.

As for the adopting-another-kid part, who knows ... I think she is certifiable and will go on adopting if she and Pitt break up. But I'm on the fence about this story just 'cause, like you say, we've read all this before.
