Angelina Jolie Tipped Paparazzi About Her Relationship with Brad Pitt in 2005

Angelina Jolie was apparently responsible for breaking the news about her relationship with Brad Pitt, according to the founder of Rolling Stone magazine … who attributes her for getting the bombshell shots back in 2005.

Jann Wenner‘s upcoming memoir, ‘Like a Rolling Stone,’ is full of stories about the celebs he’s encountered over the years, according to Page Six … but this one might take the cake, putting to bed a 17-year mystery on who first blabbed about Brangelina.

Jann was the owner of Us Weekly when rumors circulated about BP or AJ being an item… until their photographer received a tip about the couple staying at a resort off the coast Africa.

He said it clearly: “The tipster was Angelina.” Of course, this was all going down while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

Not just did Jann’s photographer know where to find them but Angelina also gave details about their daily walks and where they could sneak a photo of them.

Jann said they finally had proof after Angelina’s tip… adding that “we had the worldwide scoop,” the debut of Brangelina. “

Some folks in Brad Pitt’s camp think Angelina has continued leaking stories and believe she’s behind the latest one about the FBI investigation into that private plane incident.
