Social Life, Interrupted Ange's Sad Lonely Life

The star shuts herself away from everyone but her kids

They used to be the king and queen of the red carpet. But while Brad Pitt remained the toast of Hollywood this awards season, his ex-wife Angelina Jolie was noticeably absent from every ceremony.

“She’ll never admit it, of course, but Ange is jealous of how much Brad has been embraced by the show business community after they split up,” says an insider of the actor, who picked up all of the major prizes for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. “He’s on top of the world right now, and that doesn’t make her happy.”

Glitzy Tinseltown events and Brad aren’t all that Angelina, 44, seems to be avoiding though. Except for a few rare trips out with her children (the last was a movie studio visit with son Pax, 16, on January 6), the actress hasn’t been seen in public at all.
