Hollywood meets the Holy See! Tinseltown royalty Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are taking a very special trip to Rome this month, not to eat pasta and tour the Colosseum, but to meet the Pope, an insider reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly. The A-listers will fly to Italy in early January "for a VIP meet-and-greet at the Vatican with Pope Francis," the source says of the stars, who consider themselves nonreligious. Pitt, 51, grew up Baptist but later distanced himself from his faith, telling The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, "I don't have a great relationship with religion. I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism." That said, a friend tells Us that both the actor and his wife "admire the Pope" and "like the Pope's message." (Pope Francis is thought to be more tolerant than his predecessors; speaking about homosexuality in 2013, he famously said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?") The jet-setting stars have been busy in recent days with individual projects — Pitt was at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 3, while Jolie was spotted in Las Vegas — but arrangements for their visit are under way.

Marriage is tough, even when you're betrothed to one of the best-looking men on the planet. That's according to Angelina Jolie, who says her newlywed life with Brad Pitt is "hard work."In an interview with Australian Women's Weekly, the actress and director says she's "very happy to be married," and still gets a kick out of calling Pitt her husband. (After years together, the pair got married this summer.)But despite a picture-perfect family, says she and Pitt are constantly paddling like crazy to make things work. "[We] work really hard at nurturing our family to make sure that everybody is alright and everyone stays connected," she said.And it's especially tough when you have two high-powered careers in the mix. "Maintaining a marriage and raising kids is hard work," she said. "You have to really make sure that your work doesn't get in the way. That you don't do something that is going to put too much strain on your family." So there you have it: Even with all the money, talent, and good genes in the world, that whole work-life balance thing is hard to master. Ben Affleck gets it.

The latest cover issue of In Touch Weekly has a bombshell breakup story for its headline. IF the story happened to be true then Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could be headed for a breakup and divorce. Of course rumors of the demise of Brangelina’s relationship have been premature in the past and these might be no different. The paparazzi seems to have lucked out on pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fighting, and of course, they have fashioned a headline suitable enough to fit the photos. The End! Brad Walks Out! What Caused The Split! Will He Return To Jennifer Aniston! Ok, I’m Making Some Of This Up! But You Get The Picture!Angelina Jolie is carrying what looks suspiciously like a cigarette butt in one of the photos, and that actually is a big surprise. Whether that’s weed, tobacco, or something else she’s smoking, it’s surprising at all to see that she still has one unhealthy habit remaining from her wilder, younger, crazier days. However, a ‘source’ claims that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie definitely, definitely had a serious fight. This same source tells In Touch Weekly, “They kept talking over each other and putting their hands up in anger. They were upset but getting nowhere. Angie looked like she was on the verge of tears.”
Well, that would explain the smoking. And all married couples [or for that matter, couples who have been together this long] fight, including celebrity couples such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They’ve been together for ages, have six children together, and are obviously going to have some difficulties crop up now and again. That doesn’t mean that they’re BREAKING UP, even though the pictures certainly tell a nice story, huh?In Touch’s sources also claim that Brad and Angelina were distant from each other during the Australian premiere of Unbroken, but according to film insiders that were present at the premiere, that didn’t seem to be the case. What do you guys think? Would Brad Pitt ever actually ‘leave’ Angelina Jolie? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Angelina Jolie reportedly put down an $11,000 deposit for one of Ernest Hemingway's typewriters as a wedding present for Brad Pitt this summer.According to TMZ, the 39-year-old's agent initially got in touch with L.A. Police Commission President Steve Soboroff to purchase Tennessee Williams' typewriter.When the collector refused, the two-time Oscar winner decided to pay $250,000 for the 1926 Underwood Hemingway used to write For Whom the Bell Tolls.The American author - who committed suicide in 1961 - won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel Prize in Literature during his influential, illustrious career.However, after sending a check from Angelina's company Chivan Productions, the Maleficent star suddenly changed her mind and got her deposit back.But the Oscar-winning producer - who turns 51 next month - seemed to have liked whatever Jolie gifted him as he called their wedding 'an amazing day.' The A-listers known as 'Brangelina' tied the knot on August 23 at their French estate, the Château Miraval, at the urging of their six children - Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and twins Knox & Vivienne, 6.'The children wrote vows and asked us to make promises to each other,' the thrice-married actress said in the December issue of Vanity Fair.'It was very sweet what they came up with. They did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say, "Sorry," if we do. So they said, "Do you?" And we said, "We do!"...It feels nice to be husband and wife.' In no time, the Hollywood power couple were back at work on the Malta set of their 1970s romance By the Sea, which Angelina wrote and is directing.'A few friends asked if we were crazy,' the three-time Golden Globe winner told the mag.'[A film about] a married couple going through some difficulties...and I’m directing him.' The 'intimate character-driven drama' focuses on a former dancer called Vanessa and her writer husband Roland traveling France together.'It's not a big movie, it's not an action movie,' the Kung Fu Panda actress told Extra in May.'It's the kind of movie we love but aren't often cast in. It's a very experimental, independent-type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things.' By the Sea - due out next year - will also feature Brad's Inglourious Basterds co-star Mélanie Laurent.Jolie and Pitt haven't acted together since the 2005 assassin comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which grossed $478 million at the box office.The Counselor star can currently be seen as 'Wardaddy' in WWII flick Fury alongside Shia LaBeouf, Scott Eastwood, and Michael Peña.And the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador's second major directorial effort, a biopic on WWII POW Louis Zamperini called Unbroken, hits US theatres December 25.
