...agreement. But how much of it is real--and how much is hallucination caused by that lack of oxygen? Look closer and the house of cards crumbles. Paltrow was "inconsolable" after her break-up with Brad Pitt; she cried in magazines for months, lamenting the loss of the "love of her life" and partly blaming the media for the fall-out. Three months later--three months!--Ben Affleck becomes her rebound man.
