I can’t believe I went through the entire awards season and I NEVER remembered that Angelina Jolie and Jared Leto had worked together before. They worked together (briefly) on Oliver Stone’s Alexander, the epic flop released in 2004. To be fair, I don’t remember them having any scenes together, but I haven’t seen that movie in years and years, and all I really remember is Angelina’s sketchy accent work, Colin Farrell’s bad dye job and how overwhelmingly awful the movie is. But it was said, at the time, that Angelina cut a wide swath through her costars in that film. She filmed Alexander just before she came to LA to film Mr. & Mrs. Smith (where she met Brad and the whole gossip world changed forever), and it was said that Angelina was banging one or more of her costars. Costars like: Colin Farrell, Val Kilmer and Jared Leto. The Colin rumors were the ones that stuck around – if I remember correctly, they went camping with Maddox – but there was some ink about Kilmer and Leto too, to lesser degrees. So… did this awards season bring back any old memories for Leto and Jolie? Huh.
Angelina rekindled a relationship with an ex-flame and it’s touched off World War III between her and a jealous Brad Pitt. Angelina indulged in a top secret romance with Jared Leto after they costarred in ‘Alexander,’ and she recently set up a meeting with the hunk to supposedly discuss future film projects.
But Brad is accusing her of “gunning for a second chance with Jared,” revealed an insider. “He assumed Jared was part of Angie’s checkered past. And when she went behind his back to reach out to him again, Brad was crushed. He blew up, but Angie claims her interest is totally innocent. Brad knows that Angie used to be in love with Jared. Brad and Angie have always grappled with trust issues and now their problems are threatening to boil over.”
“Some of Angie’s friends think she settled for Brad after being rejected by Jared,” a source says about Angelina’s circa 2003 relationship with Jared. But Jared was not entirely out of the picture, as a source says she may not have completely cut ties with him while Brad was falling in love with her. “She wasn’t willing to commit to Brad until he ditched Jennifer Aniston. And when she started secretly seeing Jared again, it broke Brad’s heart.”

Blah, blah, jealousy, tears, slamming doors, The Leg of Doom and the Biscuit of Lies. If you want to spin me a tale of Angelina and Jared Leto hooking up a decade ago, sure, I’m there. I would enjoy hearing that story. But let’s not cast Leto as some SuperDong, the guy who dumped Angelina (?!?!) and left her broken-hearted, and so she only stayed with Brad all this time to make Jared jealous. That makes zero sense. Also: now I’m even more convinced that Angelina was in fact banging Colin Farrell on and off for more than a year, from late 2003 into early 2005. The timeline makes sense, and Colin seemed way more into Angelina than Jared Leto ever did.
And in case you haven’t had your fill of all things Brangelunatic, here’s a nicer story about Angelina “gifting” Brad with a baby. Sort of. It’s more like she’s promised Brad that they’ll have one more:
On the verge of a second preventive procedure to remove her ovaries, Angelina Jolie has made a heartfelt promise to partner Brad Pitt that she will give him one more child,
“Angie knows Brad wants more children, so she’s decided to freeze her eggs before the procedure so that they can add to the family in time… she’s amazing to muster the strength to face yet another major medical procedure and still plan for another baby,” a friend tells Star.
According to the insider, Angelina and Brad base their lives around raising their six children. “The kids completely consume them, and both of them know that these will probably be their happiest days… they don’t want the joy to end.”
The pal says Angelina is currently “proceeding with caution,” but there remains a possibility that doctors may ultimately recommend a complete hysterectomy by the time she’s ready for surgery. In that case, Angelina and Brad would find a surrogate to carry a baby conceived through IVF.
No matter what course is taken, Angelina is once again facing the prospect of going under the knife with a sense of calm of courage.
“Angie is extremely confident in her doctors and has become a role model for the millions of women with the same condition. This second surgery is really just the next step in her quest to ensure she stays healthy and lives to see her children grow up.”

I tend to think that if Angelina and Brad want another kid, they’ll probably adopt. I just don’t see how either of them would want to put Angelina’s body through anything else, especially since her 2008 pregnancy (with the twins) was so difficult. So, it might be surrogacy, but considering they’ve already adopted three kids, I just think they would go for adoption again. But who knows if they would even want another kid? If they have another boy, maybe they’ll name him Jared.
