Angelina Jolie has all of Hollywood talking after launching a scathing attack on her partner Brad Pitt, according to new claims.

Angelina was allegedly overheard complaining about his lack of financial prowess, telling a male companion: "The reality is 'we're not a company together. Things should be separate. I think you know I make my own financial decisions.

"Brad knows there are times he should just be quiet and look pretty. I won't talk to Brad about this because you know how he is financially, which is stupid. Someone has to make the big decisions though.

"He'll put his money into things, [but it's] bizarre. It doesn't always make sense to me," reports Grazia magazine.

Reports of the alleged conversation, which is said to have taken place at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on September 5, first surfaced in American publication In Touch.

Claims of the scathing attack are said to have upset Brad - who has tried to step away from his image as a pin-up in recent times - and left him feeling "emasculated."

A source told Grazia: "Brad has really gone out of his way not to be viewed as pretty. He's always seemed very sensitive about it and I think he hates being put in that box.

"Brad is incredibly proud of all the charity work he has done in New Orleans, so of course, it must have been disappointing to hear such a comment attributed to his own girlfriend."

Still, it appears the storm is quickly passing. Despite the claims, Brad has continued to talk of increasing his brood, which already includes 6-year-old Maddox, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1.

Brad told reporters: "They say, 'Any plans for a fifth?' And I say, 'And a sixth, and a seventh, and an eighth, and a ninth.' That's my answer."

And after pictures emerged of Angelina with a substantial bump under her figure-hugging dress, there has been speculation that she is already pregnant.
