Are Angelina And Oprah Dangerously Close To Their Expiration Dates? Plus, Robert Pattison Gives Kristen Stewart 'Ultimatum'

By VegasVegas

OH IT IS ON, PEOPLE. THIS WEEK IS ALL ABOUT THE FEUDS. What would Hollywood be without all of the infighting and the stabbing in the back with stiletto heels?

The Queen of Celebrity Feuds Angelina Jolie kicks off the cavalcade with the ongoing angst in her relationship with Brad Pitt. It's the same old story in InTouch. They're fighting over his renewed attentions to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, and he may or may not have permanently moved out of their shared New York home. She looks stressed out and tired. He's been enjoying himself just a little too much while in Los Angeles prepping to film a new movie yadda, yadda, yadda. Who the hell knows with these two? People magazine is reporting that rumors of their impending split may be seriously blown out of proportion.

And in "Other Hot Celebrities vs. Angelina" news, Megan Fox is the new thorn in her side. Having just reached her 34th birthday, Jolie's star seems to be fading while Megan's career is white hot with the soon-to-be released presumed summer blockbuster, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

According to Life & Style, Megan is giving Angelina a run for her money -- and roles! Hollywood producer Dan Lin is planning a third installment of the Tomb Raider series and has Fox in mind as the lead. The plan is that Megan plays a younger, hotter version of the Lara Croft character that Angie made into a fan-boy fave. Life & Style’s sources say that the Transformers’ hottie is sending Angie into panic mode and their photo spread reveals the ways the celebrity mom has thrown herself into overdrive. She has amped up her vamp on the red carpet and proves she's still got "it" on the set of her new espionage thriller Salt, where she’s been doing many of her own stunts despite some minor injuries that sent her to the hospital.

Angie might be right to worry. On Esquire's June cover Megan's a dead ringer for Angelina during her risqué sex pot days. Celebrity is a vicious cycle and no matter what she does, Angelina's star might be on the wane while Megan's is on the rise. But note to Megan: it won't be long before you too find yourself staring "old" in the eye at 34.

Robert Pattinson is riding the A-list roller coaster with his first celebrity feud. OK, it’s more of a B-list feud, but it’s all so romantic! Tired of being strung along like a lovesick puppy, OK reports that Pattinson has apparently thrown down the gauntlet, demanding that his costar and possible paramour Kristen Stewart chose between him and her longtime boyfriend Michael Angarano. Rumors of an off- screen romance between the two have been circulating since the first
Twilight movie was released last year.

And according to OK, there’s a love triangle of "Brangelinian proportions" brewing during the sequel's filming. Now Pattinson has given her an ultimatum: Before the cast reconvenes to film the third Twilightmovie she needs to dump the beau or leave him alone! Yeah I’m sure that won’t affect filming at all. Stay tuned over the summer for awkward run-ins at Hollywood hot spots and pistols at dawn between these two Romeos.

Finally we have the Hostess with the Mostest: Oprah versus The World! The National Enquirer reports that a recent story in Newsweek has Oprah raging at her Harpo production team. The news magazine ran a story debunking the “expert advice” dispensed on O’s talk show. Shocking to no one but The Queen of TV herself, some of her advice is crackpot! Some of the theories espoused on Oprah’s show -- by both whack celebrities and degreed doctors -- are half baked at best, according to both Newsweek and the Enquirer. For God’s sake, if you took all the biohormones and supplements that Suzanne Somers does, you might find yourself in a drooling coma on your kitchen floor.

And O has rewarded Jenny McCarthy, and her theories on the unproven connection between autism and childhood immunizations, with her very own talk show. That should be air-worthy. And don’t even get me started on Dr. Christiane Northrup, who thinks you can cure yourself of cancer by eating healthier.

Yet Oprah insists on singing the praises of her expert guests in her magazine, on her TV show and across the spectrum of her multimedia kingdom. She says that she never intended for people to take her advice over the advice of their own doctors but -- give me a break lady. When you say “jump” half of America doesn’t even bother asking “how high” before they plant themselves head first into their living room ceilings. She can claim good will and peace towards man all she wants. But she and her production staff know that the money is in getting people to trust Oprah – to know what books to read, what foods not to eat, which scented candles to burn and what brand of chocolate covered strawberries to indulge on.

Could this be the end of the Live Your Best Life era? Are we on the verge of a full blown Oprah backlash? How delicious! America, I urge you to go back to your libraries, produce departments and doctors. Stop taking advice from the idiot box and the idiots who run it.
