Shortly after Angelina Jolie awoke last Tuesday morning at the four-bedroom house Brad Pitt owns in a gated community in Beverly Hills, the couple’s British-based lawyers rang with news that prompted the actress to spend the rest of the day in tears.

Lurid claims the 34-year-old allegedly slept with her mother’s boyfriend when she was just 16 had been plastered across the world’s entertainment headlines.

And worse, this is just one of many claims writer Andrew Morton – most famous for his biography of Princess Diana – will make in his unauthorised biography, which will hit US stores in the new year.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Canadian biographer Ian Halperin has penned a shocking book of outrageous allegations about the star, titled Brangelina, which is due in shops in just a matter of weeks.

“Brad is furious but Angelina is absolutely heartbroken,” says a friend close to the couple. “She spent most of the day in tears and Angie called a couple of friends saying she thinks these books may well be the final straw that finishes her and Brad’s relationship.

“Angie’s worried what revelations will be in the books and she’s had to discuss difficult things with Brad over recent days, knowing that even if the books aren’t published, he is going to read everything in the manuscripts their lawyers are going over.

“Brad believes Angie has been misunderstood, and now he’s worried these books are going to make him look like a middle-aged, sex-crazed fool who was somehow tricked into leaving his loving wife Jennifer by a calculating, publicity-hungry Angelina.

“Being publicly humiliated is the one thing Brad can’t take.”

Morton decamped to LA for most of the recent northern hemisphere summer and has talked to Angelina’s former friends from high school, as well as some of her ex-lovers and former employees.

He is set to detail Angelina’s alleged affair with a female rock star, and he will make detailed claims about how Angelina allegedly lured Brad away from Jennifer, using sex as a weapon.

But Morton’s biggest coup is apparently his lengthy interviews with documentary filmmaker Bill Day, who was in a relationship with Angelina’s mum Marcheline Bertrand for 12 years, and posted a bitter tribute online after her death, taking aim at Angelina.

Morton has also spoken to Angelina’s former lesbian lover, Jenny Shimizu, who makes various claims about the actress and her relationship with Brad.

“The book, like his other biographies, is going to be nothing short of explosive,” says an insider…

From love rat, to doting father, and back to that love rat label. It’s not easy being Mr Law…

He’s been enjoying a career comeback with rave reviews for his Broadway performance of Hamlet and a starring film role in Sherlock Holmes. But despite these triumphs, Jude Law has yet to acknowledge one very important production in his life – the birth of his daughter Sophia.

The 36-year-old has not visited his child since her birth last month, and friends say he is “torn” about the role he should play in her life.

Sophia was the result of a brief fling between Jude and 24-year-old American aspiring actress Samantha Burke while he was filming in New York last year.

The news he was about to become a father for the fourth time [he has Rafferty, 13, Iris, 9, and 7-year-old Rudy by ex-wife Sadie Frost] came as a massive shock to the actor.

“This is a nightmare for Jude,” says a friend of the British actor.

“He’s always been a real family man and hates the thought of his daughter not knowing him, but he just doesn’t see how he can incorporate Sophia into his life without upsetting his other kids and Sadie.

“What’s so upsetting for him is that he had only just shed the whole love-rat label – now it’s come back to haunt him again.”

The situation has not been helped by the increasingly acrimonious relations between Jude and the Burkes.

He infuriated Samantha and her family by first pressuring them not to speak to the press and later demanding a DNA test.

In revenge, Samantha’s parents and grandmother have spoken out about Jude’s lack of support while she posted semi-nude photos of her pregnant stomach on her blogsite.

She has also negotiated to sell the first pictures of Sophia to a magazine for $300,000 and is reportedly demanding $10,000 a month from Jude in child support...

Forget all the rumours about baby bumps and IVF – Jennifer Aniston is not and doesn’t want to be pregnant in the near future.

But in recent weeks she has started talking about adopting a baby and has looked to the example of close friend Sheryl Crow, who adopted a newborn boy, Wyatt, two years ago.

“Jen really admires the way Sheryl went about the adoption process – she didn’t go abroad with a lot of fanfare but instead quietly went to a US agency because she felt there were plenty of needy children in her own country,” says a friend.

“She’s acutely aware that if she does adopt, everyone will think she’s trying to copy Angelina, which is why an American adoption is very appealing to her.

“Sheryl has given Jen the name of the agency she used and says they were very discreet – she also said that adopting Wyatt was the best thing that’s ever happened to her.”

Jennifer has been infuriated that answers she gave in a recent interview about her new film, The Baster (in which she plays a woman who gets pregnant by artificial insemination), have been misinterpreted as her own intention to have IVF.

Rumours that she’s already pregnant by her The Bounty co-star Gerard Butler are also far off the mark…

After months of speculation about their romance, the Twilight couple are finally set to go public. We reveal why.

When it comes to Formula One, sleek, eye-catching bodywork is a given – for the cars, of course. But there was a lot more than fast cars for the spectators during the Singapore Grand Prix on the weekend. Beyonce overshadowed the groomed grid girls as she caught up with McLaren Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and his equally glammed-up girlfriend, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.
