Aug. 5 2011, Published 1:01 p.m. ET
If Brits feel a chill in the summer air this year, perhaps it's the big freeze in the relationship of Hollywood's finest couple. While Brad Pitt has filmed his zombie thriller World War Z in London, he and Angelina Jolie have lived largely separate lives — they weren't photographed together for nearly a month (from June 27 to July 23). "They're at the Dorchester Hotel, but Brad is barely there," an insider tells OK! in this week's issue. The pair force smiles in public, but privately "they're at each other's throats."

It gets worse by the day,” the insider adds. “They’ve gone from seriously planning a wedding to ice cold.” The flash point seems to be Angelina’s possessiveness. As OK! reported, Angie flew from L.A. to London with Shiloh and Zahara July 21 to confront Brad about a "mystery woman" – a crew member he's flirted with on the film's Malta and London sets.
