WITH THE BEST AND WORST OF THE WEEK

British nobles have a long history

with blood sports, but this has

gone too far — Kate Middleton’s

parents are being slammed for selling

a Deluxe Roadkill Pet Costume for

kids The outfit, available on the

Michael and Carole’s Party Pieces

website, is basically a rabbit suit with

wounds, tire marks and bloodshot

eyes “The roadkill costume is

freaking out young children I’ve

spoken to a lot of parents [who] are

considering not going trick-or-treating

as their children are frightened,” said

U.K mom Isabel Brandon, who has a

2-year-old, while mom-of-two Jess

Ashe complained, “I can’t believe

some kids wear that sort of stuff — orthat retailers think it is acceptable tomake it It’s shocking.” That includesKate’s family “It would appear theyhave overstepped the boundary ofgood taste and blundered dangerouslyinto the territory signposted

‘extremely offensive,’” wrote TimButters in an inquisitr.com opinionpiece “The duchess is probablymortified.” Still, U.K homeownersshouldn’t be surprised to find roadkill

at their doorstep on Oct 31 — the $15getup is out of stock for children ages

10 to 12 (Suggested costume pairing:

REESE GIVES LIFE ADVICE!

Reese Witherspoon, 40, is writing

a lifestyle book, which she says will

“give people a glimpse into my idea of Southern living.” From what to say to the police after being pulled over after

a night of drinking to how to properly parent, here are a few lessons she’s already taught by example!

1) KNOW YOUR (IMAGINED) RIGHTS!

“I’m an American citizen — thi

is beyond!” she sassed cops in

a video of her 2013 arrest for disorderly conduct “Do you know my name? You’re about

to find out who I am!”

THE KEY

O GOOD SEX

At the 2014 Met Gala, Reese was filmed slurring this gem of wisdom to Cara Delevingne: “The most important thing in a ame, for a girl, is that a man can whisper

n his pillow.”

3) RAISE YOUR VOICE AT HOME

“One thing she said to me is, ‘If you’re not yelling

at your kids, you’re not spending enough time with them,’ ” former co-star Mark Ruffalo once revealed

of the mom to Ava, 17, Deacon, 13, and Tennessee, 4

“I met J Lo’s butt.

And it talked

to me.”

EXCLUSIVE

Khloé Kardashian

moves fast Barely

three weeks after meeting Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thomp-son at comedian Kevin Hart’s Aug 13 wedding, the reality starand the NBA player were photo-graphed house-hunting in Bever-

ly Hills before jetting off to

Mexi-co together Now just two months

into their romance, In Touch has

learned they’ve already takenthings to the next level “Tristangot down on one knee and askedKhloé to marry him,” says an insider “She’s delighted to be engaged and can’t wait to tie the knot early next year.”

Her family didn’t ately embrace the happy news.

immedi-“When Kris Jenner fi rst found out, she went ballistic,” says the insider “She accused Khloé of once again being blinded by love and moving too quickly, like she did when she married La-mar [Odom] after just a month

of knowing him.” But Khloé,

32, countered with a pitch her momager couldn’t resist: a real-ity show with her new man “Kris quickly changed her tune,” says

the insider “She suddenly went from ranting about Khloé’s ‘de-structive relationship habits’ to telling her that she’ll make mil-lions from marrying Tristan.”

Kris, 60, thinks Khloé and her latest NBA star love in- terest could save the fam- ily brand With fi lming for the

family’s fl agship series,

Keep-ing Up With the Kardashians, on

hold since Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris on Oct 3, “Kris is terrifi ed that fans will lose interest,” explains the insider “She desperately wants

a new project to work on and thinks Khloé and Tristan’s show would be ratings gold, especially

if they include all the drama rounding the basketball player leaving his pregnant ex for her daughter.” (See sidebar below.)

sur-And Tristan, 25, is all for it

“He loves the fame he’s getting from being with a Kardashian,” says the insider He chose the right sister “Out of all the Kar-dashians, Khloé is the one who loves the cameras the most,” explains a family source “For too long, her story lines have revolved around her crying over drama with Lamar and all the issues that came with that Khloé’s in a much better head-space now and wants to show off her relationship.”

She’ll start with their ish wedding “Khloé and

lav-Tristan plan on spending at least

$1 million on their big day and are inviting 400 guests They want the wedding to be in California and are already looking at pri-vate estates in Malibu and Santa Barbara,” says the insider “Kris

is hoping it’ll bring in even more viewers than Kim’s [2011] wed-ding to Kris Humphries.”

And Khloé’s hoping this one will have a happier ending

“She and Tristan are madly in love,” says the insider, “and say-ing they want to spend the rest of their lives together.” ċ

Khloé Kardashian jumps back into marriage — and the

reality TV spotlight — with NBA star Tristan Thompson

THE CAVALIER WAGS WON ’T

WELCOME HER

When Khloé met Tristan, multiple insiders have told

In Touch, he was still living with his

now-eight-months-pregnant girlfriend, internet model Jordan Craig

A source close to Khloé insists the reality star “didn’t steal him” away from the three-and-a-half-year relationship, but insiders say the Cavaliers’ wives and girlfriends are unhappy with how the breakup went down “LeBron James’ wife [Savannah Brinson, left, with the NBA star and their sons] is close to Jordan and she’s the ringleader of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ wives’ group,” says a source “This isn’t going to go over well for Khloé.” She can expect the cold shoulder this NBA season, adds an insider: “She will not be treated well at the games It’s an ugly situation.”

at the nearby Riverstone

happy and was laughing with her

“My friend actually told her that

she was proud of her for taking

care of herself [by checking into

rehab], and Selena said, ‘Thank

you, that really means a lot to me

I am doing really good.’ ”

But she wasn’t being

total-ly honest Selena, who sought

treatment following a terrifying

downward spiral in which she

was drinking and partying

ex-cessively, has been miserable at

the women-only rehab facility

“She absolutely hates it there,” a

source tells In Touch exclusively

“When the actual eff ects of

de-toxing hit her body, she started complaining,”

claims the source

The 24-year-old, who canceled her Re-vival World Tour in late August, also has been struggling with crip-pling anxiety “Selena keeps saying she feels like hell and wants to leave the facility or go switch to outpatient treatment,” adds the source “Ev-eryone is worried.”

They should be “Apparently

some of the medicine and ment she’s receiving [to deal with her anxiety] isn’t working very well,” says the source “One night she had horrifi c nightmares.”

treat-Selena was left shaken “Ever since then, she’s been reading the Bible before she goes to sleep.”

She can’t wait to go home.

“A few weeks ago, she called her friends and family and told them that she felt trapped,” says the source “Her mom, Mandy [Teefey, 40], came to visit and took her out

of the facility to talk She’s still ing everyone that she wants to go home, and then gets mad because she feels like they aren’t listening

tell-to her.” No one, adds the source, knows how to handle the situa-tion “Selena doesn’t even sound like herself on the phone.”

It’s got loved ones terrifi ed

“Selena claims she wants to be normal again, but she makes jokes about partying and even drink-ing, which is worrisome,” says the source “Everyone is so scared that Selena is going to come home from rehab and go back to her old ways They know it’s going to take time, but everyone’s just hoping Selena gets better.” ċ

Selena’s mother, Mandy, is hopingfor the best, but she may be

preparing for the worst “She’s been reaching out to fi nd out what it would take to get a

conservatorship for Selena,” claims a family insider, explaining that Mandy would be named custodian of Selena and take control of her daughter’s fi nances and major life decisions, in the same way that Britney

Spears’ father controls her

conservatorship “Mandy believes that a mental breakdown is

possible if Selena doesn’t take this rehab stint seriously.”

Angelina Jolie’s

tactics are exposed

as the custody battle

with Brad Pitt gets

even nastier

FIGHTING BACK

“Brad is convinced

he can overcome the smear campaign that’s been waged against him,” says a Brad and Angelina insider.

— Angelina Jolie

“We came out stronger

on the other end [of] shooting [By the Sea].”

They’re all lies

An In Touch investigation has

re-vealed the defi nitive story about the tortured marriage and brutal di-vorce of the former Hollywood gold-

en couple, uncovering fresh lies that have been perpetuated as Angelina’s team tries to destroy Brad in order for her to gain sole physical custody

of their six children And it’s turned out to be even worse behind closed doors than anyone knows “People close to Angelina have told cruel lies about Brad, and they’ve done it with her consent,” an insider tells

In Touch exclusively “While she

has publicly remained silent, people close to her have been busy trying to shape a narrative painting Brad as

of Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, her entertainment at-

— made headlines “Angelina,” said her longtime manager Geyer Kosin-ski, “will always do what’s in the best interest of taking care of her family.”

At the same time, stories that Brad had problems with drugs and alcohol and had been physi- cal with their kids were leaked to the media An anonymous call was

placed to LA’s Department of dren and Family Services to report

Chil-a drunken Chil-altercChil-ation between BrChil-ad,

52, and his oldest boys that occurred

on a Sept 14 private fl ight from France back to the States The call, which, according to a source close

to the situation, Brad believes came from Angelina’s camp, triggered

an offi cial probe into his parenting and supposedly prompted Angelina

to split with him (Reports that the LAPD and FBI had launched offi -cial investigations into the incident turned out to be overblown.) “A look deep inside Angelina’s camp shows a disturbing pattern of behavior,” says the insider “Her fi rst two advisers were planting stories with the media that Brad had a severe drug and alco-hol problem and was violent It was

an abhorrent course of action.” Some people strongly believe Angelina ap-proved that course of action

In a marked contrast, the actor has refused to speak out against his ex or allow his representatives

to plant negative stories about her “Brad’s team has remained si-

lent,” says the insider “Brad is ing the high road here, and one big reason is that he does not want to alienate his children — now or in the future.” (But one source close to An-gelina claims others near Brad have spread negative stories about her.) Still, Brad’s only two offi cial com-ments on the split and custody battle have been straightforward and neu-tral “I am very saddened by this,

tak-THEY DO IT ALL

Over the years, both have

implied they’re incredibly

hands-on parents “We wake

up, we make breakfast,”

Angelina’s said “In our

domestic life, we’re Mom

and Dad.” But in reality,

admits a Brad insider, a

team of nannies “spent

more time with the kids than

either of their parents.”

Bodyguards also watch the

kids (see page 34).

HAPPY MARRIAGE

“The problems in the movie aren’t our specifi c problems,”

Angelina said in November 2015 while promoting the depressing drama

By the Sea, the movie

she and Brad made (instead of taking a honeymoon) about

a couple’s crumbling marriage and

FALLING FOR EACH OTHER

Angelina and Brad kept their distance while promoting

Mr & Mrs Smith in Las Vegas in March 2005 They later claimed

they didn’t start their romance until after Brad split from Jennifer

Aniston in January 2005, but the couple inadvertently came clean in

2008 interviews two months apart in which both admitted they

Team Angelina had been busy ing to key outlets, carefully plant-ing stories about Brad and shaping

in the press is just not true,” says the insider, who says Angelina was getting guidance from two people overseas who are close to her “Brad’s team knows who on Angelina’s team planted information and where they planted it Frankly, Brad is disgust-

ed, but he’s holding his tongue.”

Blogger Perez Hilton fl ipped out when he received a legal letter from Angelina He threw a public

fi t, claiming he’d always been lina’s ally but now was prepared to turn against her As the story picked

Ange-up steam, Perez reportedly got a call from one of Angelina’s “fi xers” who tried to settle him down and assure

but what matters most now is the

well-being of our kids,” he said after

Angelina, 41, released her fi rst

state-ment on Sept 20 After dropping

out of a promotional appearance for

a new fi lm a few days later, Brad

ex-plained he was “focused on my

fam-ily situation” and didn’t want to be a

distraction to the project

Within days, Brad was winning

the battle of public opinion

“Sym-pathy was not with Angelina There

was no [public] proof that Brad was

an unfi t father,” says the insider

“Her previous team off ered no

spe-cifi cs, and in fact Brad even

volun-teered to take a drug test, which

he passed.” The source close to the

situation exclusively tells In Touch

that he’s since also passed a second

drug test, “which he again took

vol-untarily to prove that Angelina’s

al-legation that he abused substances

was false The whole thing has

dam-aged the credibility of some people

close to Angelina.”

So Angelina changed tactics

Her fi rst big hire had been Laura

Wasser, a respected Hollywood

di-vorce attorney who’s represented

everyone from Ryan Reynolds to the

Kardashians But now some people

close to Angelina “wanted to push

Laura out because she isn’t the type

to engage in a nasty, continued attack

on her opponent,” says the insider

Team Angelina’s fi rst response

was to aggressively threaten legal

action “One of her several lawyers

sent out letters to the media, seen

by many as an attempt to shut down

negative stories about Angelina or

risk being sued,” explains the

in-sider In Touch received one of those

letters “But the lawyer didn’t stop

— A BRAD AND ANGELINA INSIDER

Emotional Wreck

In the wake of her divorce fi ling, Angelina is struggling

“She is absolutely beside herself,” says a source The DCFS investigation is a big reason why “She wasn’t

counting on Brad being so cooperative and submitting to the random drug tests.” She’s made

a point to stay holed up with the kids inside her new $30,000-a-month Hidden Hills, Calif., rental home (left), “where she’s poring over media coverage of the divorce and being consoled by handlers and advisers,” says a Brad and Angelina insider “She’s an emotional wreck, tormented by this divorce disaster.”

“They overstepped, and when they

did, they received a lot of backlash,”

the insider says of the strategy from

Angelina’s team But that didn’t stop

the same “fi xer” from calling Melissa

Etheridge after the

Grammy-win-ning musician made critical

com-ments about Angelina and what she

was doing to her old friend Brad in an

Oct 3 interview with Bravo’s Andy

Cohen Two days later, Melissa

pub-licly confi rmed that Team Angelina

had given her a call with a “subtle

warning” to zip it “That’s a highly

unusual and ridiculous move,” says

the insider (Her revenge was to

write a humorous song about it.)

Still, behind-the-scenes

at-tempts to manipulate Angelina’s

public image continued People

close to Angelina have attempted to spin the fact that DCFS is investigat-ing Brad into de facto proof that he

should not have custody, In Touch has

learned exclusively “DCFS wouldn’t

be involved if there wasn’t something serious here,” a source close to Angeli-

na told In Touch But that’s simply not

true, other sources claim DCFS got involved after they received a phone call about the plane incident, and by law, the organization is required to investigate Angelina’s friends have also attempted to spin the investiga-tion into a nefarious indictment of Brad’s character, says the insider:

“They’ve told or implied that to many people.” Angelina’s pals also put it out there that she would not cooperate if Brad was prosecuted

for child abuse, when in fact there were no criminal charges looming since he hadn’t committed a crime

Since day one, Brad has fully cooperated with DCFS, including having his visits with the chil- dren monitored “He doesn’t want

any doubt about the truth,” says the insider “He refuses to give Angelina any ammunition against him.” As the investigation was wrapping up, Brad was preparing for the next step:

to get his revenge against Angelina infamily court He planned to fi ght for sole physical custody and to subpoe-

na her mental health records, says a Brad source “They have implied that Brad has engaged in brutal conduct toward Angelina and the kids,” says the insider, but they have not pro-

THE BODYGUARD

TELLS ALL

As the custody battle between

Angelina and Brad gets even

nastier, new details about their

relationship are emerging Mark

Billingham, a decorated former

British Army soldier who served as the

former couple’s head of security for

18 months nearly a decade ago, reveals

in an Oct 16 interview with Britain’s

The Sun that he was practically a

father to their kids, implying both

Angelina and Brad weren’t as hands-on

as they claim to be “They trusted me

with the kids We got very close; I was

living with them all the time I could

take the kids anywhere I wanted to on

my own.” Mark was shocked when he

learned of their split, further evidence

that things weren’t as bad as Angelina

has made them out to be He also

makes no mention of Brad being a

drunk or abusive But Mark does

question Brad’s — and Angelina’s —

everyday skills “What surprised me

was their low level of common sense,”

he shares, explaining they’d ask him

things like, “‘How do I go down to that

bar?’ and ‘What do I need to do to get

there?’ They’re not stupid, but because

of the world they live in, they just

haven’t done something like that for

so long I found that weird.”

After stepping out together

in NYC in the days after herex-husband Brad’s marriage toAngelina imploded, JenniferAniston, 47, and her husband,Justin Theroux, 45, are apart

— again “Despite agreeing to

be more committed to theirmarriage and settling intobuilding-a-family mode withJen, Justin’s quickly signed on

to another movie and is headedoff to Berlin to shoot the science

fiction action movie Mute with

Paul Rudd and AlexanderSkarsgård,” says a friend He’donly just returned home after

shooting The Leftovers in

Australia all summer and

promoting The Girl on the Train

in September “He’s leavingneedy Jen high and dry again.”

JEN & JUSTIN DRIFT APART

that she’s the sole care provider for the kids is also just completely laughable because even Brad will concede that their nannies spent the most time with the kids, but that’s

no reason why he shouldn’t have joint custody.”

Why not be honest? “Because

Angelina wants to do what she wants

to do,” explains the insider “She wants sole physical custody so she doesn’t have to answer to Brad on anything, not because he’s a bad fa-ther or a dangerous parent Making that suggestion is disgusting and a horrible lie.” The insider believes that Angelina is using the children to get sole physical custody “But she’s making a big mistake,” adds the in-sider, “because one day the kids will realize what she did.”

The world already knows

Af-ter falling in love with Brad while he was married, the Hollywood vixen had spent the past decade portray-ing their relationship as that of soul mates who’d found their greatest happiness in a rewarding, adven-turous lifestyle as they traveled the world performing good works with

their brood But that’s all changed now “Not everyone sees her as a great humanitarian trying to solve the world’s refugee problem at this point,” the insider says “Some seeher as a wife trashing the father of her children for no good reason It’s reminding everyone of the unstable person she was in her younger years, the person who cut herself, who was hospitalized for psychological rea-sons Her tactics are not working.” Her carefully crafted image has tak-

en a huge hit

Brad’s letting her hang herself.

And he’s confi dent he’ll get revenge

in family court “Brad’s been very, very busy gearing up for the upcom-ing custody battle Brad is lining up

an arsenal to take Angie down,” says the source “Expect Brad’s team to come to family court with declara-tions and witnesses who will claim Angie would go days without seeing the kids.”

Her cruel lies have done untold damage, says the insider But Brad

is ready for a fi ght “In the end,” says the Brad and Angelina source, “Brad knows the truth will prevail.” ċ

duced a “smoking gun” of proof

Why no smoking gun? “Because

it simply doesn’t exist,” says the

in-sider “It’s a sickening strategy to

imply Brad did something terrible

over and over again and then have

nothing to back it up But that’s what

they are doing.” A source close to

Angelina, however, strongly hints

that the smoking gun does exist and

it will be revealed In Touch has also

learned that people close to Angelina

have suggested to various media

out-lets that the children will tell stories

about Brad that may paint him as a

bad father “If she coaches them,

per-haps they will,” says the insider “But

not if the truth comes out It’s just

another example of people close to

her planting things.”

Brad has faith he’ll be

vindicat-ed “He was devastated by her power

play at fi rst But he truly believes that

once the DCFS investigation is

con-cluded, family court will side with

him,” explains a Brad and Angelina

insider “He’s ready for her He

be-lieves he’ll be able to refute all her

claims in front of a judge.”

Another troubling lie? The

as-sertion from people working for

An-gelina is that she does everything for

the children, including feeding and

clothing them, taking care of their

schoolwork, doctor appointments

and more, while Brad does virtually

nothing But in fact, Angelina herself

has admitted she’s not exactly

do-mestic “I don’t know how to make

basic spaghetti,” she once told Today

Sources have told In Touch that it is

actually an army of nannies, cooks

and other helpers who do much of the

work when it comes to caring for the

kids (In a new interview, the couple’s

former bodyguard Mark Billingham

claims Brad and Angelina could not

perform basic tasks; see sidebar at

left.) “Any implication that Angelina

is the only one that cares for the kids

and even prepares meals for them is

absolutely rubbish It just shows how

desperate and out of touch people

close to Angie are,” says the source

close to the situation “This notion
