Angelina's S&M photos: nothing to see here (NSFW)

They're the pics that will "tear Ange and Brad apart" according to the super-dramatic Star magazine, but if you ask us this stuff looks pretty run of the mill... for Angelina Jolie, anyway.

Star published the vintage shots of Ange along with an excerpt from celebrity biographer Andrew Morton, who claims, “The photographs are a startling reminder to Angelina of a period in her life I’m sure she wants to forget, a shady piece of her history that she’s kept hidden away, even from Brad.”

A dog collar, a blindfold and electrical tape over her tatas? We're sure Brad's seen worse!

No one's quite sure where the pics came from but some bloggers are already countering Star's "dark past" angle – arguing that they're actually the leftover snaps from a professional photo shoot taken in 1999.
