The hotly debated blog topic of the week has been Monday’s Page Six blind item that asked:
WHICH Tinseltown sex siren with a humanitarian streak has resumed her old habit of dabbling with heroin? She paid a recent visit to an old rock star friend and joined him in narcotic stupor.
The blogs were divided between Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson (Pam’s recent split from Kid Rock drove her back into rocker Tommy Lee’s arms, but does supporting PETA really qualify as humanitarian? Ange’s most definitely got a humanitarian streak, but who’s her rocker? And when would she find the time to do smack?) – until yesterday, when it looked like Page Six answered its own blind item. Reporting on Dita Von Teese’s split from Marilyn Manson over his hard-partying ways, Page Six wrote, “Another Manson-watcher tells Page Six he’s also close pals with Brad Pitt’s paramour, Angelina Jolie – who caught up with the rock star when she was in LA a little over five months ago. ‘They’ve known each other for a long time,’ said our source, ‘since she was way more wild than she is now – they are still good friends, though.'” Adding fuel to the fire, check out Marilyn Manson’s paintings on his website, where, alongside paintings named Tweaker, Vicodin, and Andy Dick, hang two intimate portraits of Jolie. It would certainly explain those skinny arms.
