Angelina Jolie’s Pitt watch

Angelina Jolie is asking friends to spy on Brad Pitt.

The ‘Tomb Raider’ actress is said to be very clingy after the birth of the couple’s daughter Shiloh two months ago, and has been keeping a track of Brad’s while he is filming ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ in Los Angeles.

A source revealed: “Angie is suffering a little from the baby blues but she’s been extra stressed since Brad left, asking friends to report back on his every move and sometimes calling him up to 10 times a day.”

The raven-haired beauty – who is currently living in the couple’s Malibu mansion with Shiloh and their two adopted children, Maddox, four, and Zahara, 17 months – is reportedly making Brad feel “smothered”.

The source Britain’s Grazia magazine: “Brad has had to tell her, ‘Stop smothering me!’.

“He says she needs to relax and stop treating him like a kid, but Angelina has been telling friends she’s unhappy because they talked about not working for a year after Shiloh was born.”

Stories about Brad’s wild partying with co-stars and old pals, Matt Damon and George Clooney, have only increased Angelina’s worries.

The source said: “Angie knows George is a party hound who is surrounded by women 24/7. It isn’t an ideal scenario for a guy with a family.”

Laguna Beach Stars L.C. & Jason Split

Laguna Beach stars Lauren “L.C.” Conrad and Jason Wahler have split up, PEOPLE has confirmed.

“Its true. Lauren broke up with him last week,” Conrad’s rep, Nicole Perez, tells PEOPLE.

Being single isn’t slowing Conrad down a bit: The 20-year-old, who now appears on The Hills, took a trip to Las Vegas last weekend with her girlfriends, including Hills pal Heidi Montag.

Meanwhile, Wahler, 19, partied in Los Angeles over the weekend at Les Deux with Laguna pal Stephen Colletti. Wahler, wearing Adidas track pants and a t-shirt, got wild on the dance floor, according to a source.

“He was all over the place,” says an onlooker, “Every time I saw him, he was talking to a different girl.”

Wahler’s partying ways contributed to the couple’s breakup, a source tells PEOPLE.

This is not the first time they’ve split. The pair broke up last August, then reunited. “We’re pretty serious now,” Conrad told PEOPLE in May.

As for the future, Conrad plans to return to L.A.’s Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in the fall, and will film a second season of The Hills

Michael Jackson says conspirators out to ruin him

Michael Jackson has stumbled across a conspiracy by former attorneys, associates and advisers to force him into financial ruin, his spokeswoman said on Monday.

The plot was discovered after someone leaked documents to Jackson showing that unnamed former lawyers for the 47-year-old singer tried to recruit others into a petition that would drag him unwillingly into bankruptcy court, his spokeswoman and manager Raymone Bain said.

“In what could be one of the biggest conspiracies in entertainment history, documents have been sent to Michael Jackson and his representatives which reveal a deliberate plan by some former attorneys as well as associates and advisers to force Mr. Jackson into involuntary bankruptcy,” Bain said.

During his four-month trial on child molestation charges last year, prosecutors asserted that the self-styled “King of Pop” was in perilous financial shape due to mounting debt.

Bain declined to name the conspirators, saying that Jackson had ordered his current legal team to investigate the scheme and file lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions.

“In addition, there is a strong possibility that these documents will be forwarded to the U.S. Attorney General for review and possible involvement,” Bain said.

Bain also declined to say who provided the documents to Jackson, who she said was busy shopping for a home in Europe and recording material for his first studio album of new material since 2001.

Jackson, who has made few public appearances since his acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005, announced in June that he had severed ties with his longtime business managers as part of a “sweeping restructuring” of his affairs.

In March, state authorities ordered Jackson to close his Neverland Valley Ranch in the California foothills for failing to pay the staff or maintain proper insurance. In April, Jackson reached a deal to finance more than $200 million in loans secured by his stake in the Beatles song catalog.

Bain said it was not yet clear why Jackson’s former attorneys and associates would want to force bankruptcy on the onetime child star, who ruled the pop charts during the 1980s with such albums as “Off the Wall” and “Thriller.”

“That’s what we’d like to find out,” Bain said. “But Michael Jackson was neither shocked nor surprised. He’s always been suspicious that some of those whom he entrusted to act on his behalf … may not have acted in his best interests.”

Clay Sued by Unauthorized Biographer

Clay Aiken is finding that fame comes with a thousand different downsides.

The American Idol runner-up has been sued by the author of an “unauthorized tribute” titled Out of the Blue–”Clay” It Forward, who accuses him of defaming her and conspiring to hurt her book sales.

According to her court documents, Jeannie Holleman was a neighbor and lifelong friend of the McGhee family–Raleigh, North Carolina, residents who took in Aiken and his mother, Faye Parker, after Parker left her abusive husband, bringing her young son with her.

The book combines stories from the McGhee family about their experiences with Aiken, her own recollections of the Measure of a Man singer and tales from his fans. A description of the tome on authorhouse.com calls it “a long love letter to a sweet hometown boy.”

At a whopping 564 pages, it’s a long letter indeed, but it seems Holleman’s feelings of love for Aiken have since faded.

In her lawsuit, filed Friday in Wake County Superior Court, Holleman claims Aiken and his mother defamed her and depressed her book sales by denying that they were acquainted with her, branding her stories as lies and bashing her work on fan Websites.

She also claims that she was manhandled by one of Aiken’s bodyguards at a fundraiser in Hawaii.

Holleman is seeking at least $260,000 in damages and wants the court to force Aiken to retract critical comments he made about the book or to endorse it on his official Website. In addition, she wants the singer to write a positive introduction to the book and sell it at his concerts for the next five years.

Aiken responded Monday, stating through his record label that he had “instructed my attorneys to not only vigorously dispute the claims that have been made but to also pursue all possible remedies against those involved in the perpetration of these untruths.”

The 27-year-old singer added that he was speaking up on behalf of those close to him.

“As a so-called ‘celebrity’ I have become used to scurrilous allegations and untruths being made about me and my work,” he said. “I have always taken the path of not reacting to these matters and have accepted them as, somehow, coming with the ‘job.’ However, I cannot, and will not, stand by when these attacks are made on my family.”

In brighter news from Claynation, Aiken’s third album, A Thousand Different Ways, is due for release Sept. 19–one week before his Idol competitor Ruben Studdard releases his third album, The Return.

Spelling Feud Holds Up Tori’s Tribute to Dad

A special tribute to the late TV producer Aaron Spelling to be hosted by daughter Tori will not air on ABC this fall as planned – after Spelling’s widow and Tori’s mother, Candy Spelling, blocked the project, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

Spelling, the legendarily prolific creator of such shows as Love Boat, Charlie’s Angels, Dynasty and Beverly Hills, 90210, died June 23 after a lengthy illness. He was 83. His wife and daughter have maintained a highly strained relationship over the past few years, aspects of which have been coming to light in the days after the patriarch’s death.

Tori was to have served both as host and executive producer of the ABC tribute, according to the source, who said: “All of his (Aaron’s) stars had signed on and some interviews had already been taped. … But Candy wouldn’t release the clips of his shows because Tori was involved in the project. She had it killed.”

Candy Spelling’s representative, Kevin Sasaki, confirmed to PEOPLE that she had “talked to ABC about releasing the clips for the tribute,” but denies that Candy stopped the show. Instead, he says, “she didn’t feel the timing was right … since the Emmys were doing a big tribute to her husband around the same time.”

He added, “She had nothing to do with this except that she was asked to release the clips and she didn’t think it was the right time, so she turned them down.”

ABC, which was long associated with Aaron Spelling’s shows, has issued “no comment” about the proposed Spelling special.

Meanwhile, the source tells PEOPLE, Candy has agreed to provide clips to rival network NBC for a tribute to Aaron on its Aug. 27 Emmycast. The source confirms that she will attend the Emmy ceremony with son Randy Spelling but that Tori has yet to be invited as part of the family.
