In the Aug. 17 issue of Star we report that while Angelina was in Los Angeles late last month caring for their six children, Brad was drinking and flirting like a bachelor — with a former flame! — at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in Berlin. Adding insult to injury, Angelina — who's been stressed out about the steady decay of their relationship — planned to join Brad in Germany for the A-list event, but he disinvited her at the last minute.

"Two days before the trip, Brad told her he thought it was best if she didn't come," a source tells Star. “They've been fighting a lot, but this really ripped her heart out."

And Brad's bad-boy behavior at the July 28 Basterds after party didn't help their already troubled situation — at all.

"Angie lost it because Brad started drinking at a photo call hours before the premiere and kept going until 4 a.m.!" says a source. "She tried calling him a few times, and he didn't pick up — so she kept trying until he finally answered. She was nagging him so much that Brad finally shut his phone off." Brad continued to party with brunette German director — and one-time gal pal — Katja von Garnier!

The littlest victims of the couple's downward spiral are their children: Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and nearly 13-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. "The kids have been feeling the tension," says a source.

Pick up Star today for the full story, including what sparked all the fighting, how the Jolie-Pitt kids (especially Shiloh) have been acting out and where Angelina has been escaping to for alone time.
