On the Cover: Angelina in Therapy
After months of stress and turmoil, a weary, frustrated Brad Pitt has put his foot down and has forced Angelina Jolie to get professional help.
In the Oct. 13 issue of Star — on sale now! — we report that almost three months after the birth of her twins, Angie is still in a deep funk — and Brad is so determined to get her back to her old self that he put her in therapy to get her to eat, get out of the house and put an end to her intense mood swings.
"Angelina didn't want to accept the fact that she was struggling after the twins were born and was really resistant to Brad's pleas for her to get help," an insider tells Star. "But she finally agreed."
While still in France at Château Miraval, Angie started seeing the doctor — who Brad found in Paris — for daily power sessions, says another source. Now that they've moved to Berlin, where they're staying in a 30,000-square-foot mansion called Palais Parkschloss, she's continued their sessions via phone and webcam.
So what kinds of things is Angie working out? For one, the mother of six has been unhappy with her body since the July 12 birth of Knox and Vivienne, sources say, and has hardly been eating.
"She still thinks she's fat," says a source. "She barely touches the food that is brought to her. After a few bites she'll say, 'Take it away; I'm not hungry.' Brad is trying to get her to eat more, but she has no appetite. She clearly has a problem with her self-image. She's lost some of the baby weight but thinks she still has fat on her stomach. Brad tells her she doesn't and thinks it's all in her head, but she still thinks she sees it."
Angie has also made it her mission to firm up and lose more weight by exercising. She's even purchased the popular Yoga Pretzels flashcards and is doing poses with daughters Zahara and Shiloh in an effort to get toned.
For our full story — from Angie's aversion to leaving the house and severe mood swings to how Brad has become stressed, sleepless and worried — pick up the new Star today.

I am continually amazed at the people who respond in this column. All the remarks about Star, people getting a life, and how sick they are of hearing about Angie and how she should be left alone...blah, blah, blah. Unless someone is holding a gun to your head, it is still a free country, you don't have to read Star or any other tabloid. If you are tired of hearing it, then don't. Read something else!!! Why not admit to yourself that you get your kicks from this and like writing commentaries?? If you don't, try National Georgraphic or something. Don't insult others for being interested in something that YOU would not be reading if you weren't just as bad!!

Hey Cindy. Check your facts. Angelina doesn't have a "husband" she has a boyfriend!!! Differnt set of rules and expectations. If you want a husband then do the deed!!
-- Suzyq
How can a woman who won't leave the house move every few months? Does anyone see something wrong here? There is no sense of home with this family.
It takes a long time to get back into shape after having twims. Take Julia Roberts for example, she doesn't have the pencil thin body, but you see photos of her being normal and enjoying her children. For goodness sake people, quit focusing on the physical and make a life for the children you are blessed with. That means a HOME, stability, and discipline. Notice to Jolie-Pitts...quit trying to save the world and make a difference with the children you have already committed to. Get whatever counseling you need to help with post-pardom depression, settle down and give these kids the life they deserve. That doesn't mean THINGS or STATUS!! It means stability and education. -- Suzyq
Angelina this one is for you. I to had a c-section and yes there is a little bump that you may carry around for awhile but you are such a beautiful women and such a giving person no one will pay attention to that. They will see how you've been such a blessing to everyone around you especially your other half Brad Pitt.

Its so sad that she is seeing a therapist, she has everything anyone could ask for, her health beautiful children money, no worries how shes gonna make that next payment at the end of the month. She will find the strength as I do.

LizB, let it go that she's the homewrecker. Brad's ex is not a "Saint Jennifer". Look at how many guys she has slept with so far? She still give self-pity parties. She needs to grow up and you need to move on as well.

I don't see how anyone reguardless of this story can not say Jolie is a sicko. She should not be allowed to adopt.
Her children are not being raised to be responsible adults.I expect they will be holy terrors in a decade. Past drug use does determine one's psychological well being. She needs to walk away from Hollywood and raise her kids the old fashion way.I suspect she's too vain to do that though. -- Brenda
Praise God - Please
Why is she a wack job? The God that I believe would be pleased with the charity work and adoptions that her and Brad have done. -- Kristen
If this is true then she needs to lay off the adoptions for a couple of years. I hope she's not just doing yoga with the girls, that'd be a bad message for them. They should do it together. I am sure all of those children could use a bit of yogic lifestyling. It must be extremely stressful for those kids. They need to stay in one place and if she wants all these babies she needs to stay home and be a mother.
