The Jolie-Pitts and the Cruises are two of the most influental families of all time…and now Life & Style says they are feuding.

Although the two couples are living on different continents at the moment, that hasn’t stopped them from being competitive. Though reps for Tom and Katie deny a feud, “Brad’s and Angelina’s careers have taken off,” a Cruise family insider tells Life & Style. “It seems as though Tom’s always trying to compete with Brad, and that’s a difficult job.”

After all, Brad, 44, and Angie, 33, are seen as Hollywood’s golden couple. “All the negative press Tom gets over Scientology and the rumors about how his relationship with Katie was fake have left him with the sense that he’s not, you know, as beloved anymore,” says an insider close to the couple. And Brad has these causes — save the children, rebuild New Orleans, donate to charity — while Angelina’s practically St. Angelina these days. How do you compete with that?” In fact, the insider says, Tom has started to kid that he’s past his prime: “He’ll turn to Katie and joke, ‘It’s up to you now, kid!’ He’ll laugh, but it’s a worry, too, like he’s tapping into some insecurity.”

Do you really think these two are fighting, or is it just made up for the media? I know that these two families are always in the news. I think they are secretly best friends!
