In Touch still pushing “Angelina Jolie is pregnant” story


In Touch ran the “Angelina’s pregnant: Brad Feels Trapped” story two issues ago, in the November 24th edition which came out on around November 13th. (The magazines post date the issues.) We ran a brief mention of it last week and it seemed strange at the time that if Angelina is pregnant again only one tabloid would have the news. Their evidence at the time was that “During an early November meeting in LA, Angelina confirmed her pregnancy to producers of her upcoming action movie Salt,” and production was pushed forward to accommodate her.

In Touch is still running with the story, and is set to elaborate on it in their upcoming issue with a cover story that reads “Angelina’s Pregnancy Joy.” Life & Style this week has “Baby News!” and features Ashlee Simpson, who just had a boy, Jennifer Aniston “trying for a baby” and Angelina Jolie “3 months ago.” It’s likely they’re just getting the story from In Touch though.

A source tells US Weekly it’s not true that production on Salt was moved forward, though, and Angelina’s rep denies that she’s pregnant:

Reports that the 33-year-old is expecting are “not true,” her rep, Geyer Kosinski, tells Usmagazine.com exclusively. The actress is scheduled to start shooting Edwin A. Salt in February, in an action role as a CIA agent.

Rumors have persistently spread. Most recently, In Touch claims Jolie announced she was pregnant in a London restaurant when a waiter tried to pour her a drink. The magazine says beau Brad Pitt was annoyed because he wasn’t ready to go public with the news.

In Touch also reports Jolie pushed forward filming of Edwin A. Salt so her bump wouldn’t be visible – but on-set sources confirm to Us the schedule has not been changed.

Life & Style questioned if the actress was “three months along” on a “Baby News” cover.

This doesn’t mean Jolie and Pitt aren’t ruling out more kids in the future.

We’ll have to see if In Touch is right or not, but they probably don’t care. The magazines with Angelina’s baby news are sure to be high sellers for them and it doesn’t really make a difference whether it’s true.

    I hope they’re making this up.

  2. Kaiser says:

    She’s not pregnant. She actually seems to believe in family planning. Ten bucks says that their next child (and perhaps final) will be adopted.

  3. RAN says:

    That’s not a pregnant tummy – gimme a break. However if she does turn out to be pregnant…Brad Pitt BETTER not be complaining about “feeling trapped”. It’s clear this woman just wants to please him and give him his “soccer team” – if not now, then continuously into the future.

    It’s called ‘you made your bed, now lay in it’.

  4. Codzilla says:

    Only in Hollywood would that photo qualify as evidence of a pregnant belly.

  5. aleach says:

    oh sweet jesus, if this is true, and i would think its not, then she has some major issues.

  6. Susan says:

    This is actually very interesting. In Touch usually states that the woman they are talking about “looks pregnant” or something along that line. They rarely actually state that the woman is pregnant. In this case they have had two or three covers with she ‘is pregnant”. They must be very sure. I think that they do care because although they tell alot of lies they also do try to pretend that they are right. Three covers with for sure pregnant and if she isn’t that is really bad. I am very interested in how this whole story plays out. In Touch correctly predicted that they would have Shiloh in Africa they also had the twins boy/girl prediction right a few months before the birth. Although they get alot wrong on alot of stars as well I on occassion wonder if someone in Angie/Brad close circle isn’t selling them out sometimes.

  7. debra77 says:

    Angie has a film starting in 3 months. I doubt she would break her contact and show up according to them 5 months pregnant. I am so tired of people blaming them for all the press they get. She did not do an interview with them. They are using her to sale magazines that no one wants to buy now. She and Brad did the PR for their movies, which they are required to do. Now they are back in Berlin with the family. So there.. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

  8. geronimo says:

    Very unlikely. But, should it turn out to be true, her body, her business. But I’m much more inclined towards Kaiser’s take, that their next child will be adopted and probably within the next 12 months. But not necessarily their last. Reckon they’ll go to 8.

  9. Anni says:

    btw, the mother of one of my friends lives next to angelina in berlin.

  10. Lio says:

    Uh? How could she be three months old pregnant with three months old twins?

  11. Lauri says:

    Unlikely, but not impossible. If she is, though, surely we’ll have minute-by-minute coverage from the media.

  12. Cheyenne says:

    Actually, In Touch has a pretty lousy track record. They predicted Angelina was having two girls, right up to the day the twins were born. In fact, they jumped the gun and said she had delivered two girls and ended up with egg all over their faces. Most recently they have been talking about Aniston’s non-existent “baby bump”. In any case, do the math. Angelina’s twins are only four months old. There is no way in the world she is three months pregnant.

  13. Cheyenne says:

    I agree with Kaiser. I think Angie and Brad will adopt one more child in another year or maybe two, and call it quits at seven.

  14. Val says:

    Lio:

    LOL…I know she has 3 month old twins and she is 3 months pregnat. Its all about Brad’s super sperms and her super eggs. LOL!

    Even if she is so freaking what!

    I would never buy that rag anyway. If I happen to be at the checkout line I will read thru it, get a good laugh and put that trash back where it belongs!

  15. Mairead says:

    The babies are about 18 weeks old – which puts them at a shade over 4 months. But isn’t it recommended that you wait about 6 weeks after birth before… y’know. If she were 3 months gone, that would put any conception at the nanosecond they were allowed to… y’know! (I’m using euphamisms because I’m on a break from work 😉 )
    Talk about super-swimmers 😯

  16. daisy424 says:

    I call BS on this one, or I hope.

    Mairead, my first two are 13 months apart. Having them that close can drain your body….and your marriage 😉

    *edit @ Mel, unless she impregnated herself, Brad is to blame also.

  17. mel says:

    good god someone needs to sterilize this woman! if shes pregnant again i really feel sorry for Brad-he got more than he wished for.

  18. RAN says:

    My sister and I are 11 1/2 months apart, so it is entirely possible. We’re close, but you just want to say… Ewww Mom and Dad! 😆

  19. Sexy says:

    😆 @ RAN!! Mom and dad just couldn’t wait!! 😀

  20. cassie says:

    When Brad did interview with diane sawyer in 2004 he said he wanted 12 kids,in 2007 he told Charlie Rose that they would be probably have between 7 and 9.I don’t believe she is pregnant because that movie is an action movie.She plays a CIA agent. The movie starts in late Feb and shoots for 3 months at that rate she’ll be filming at 7- 8 months along

  21. Judy says:

    More BS LOl..I doubt very much if she is preggers and if she was Brad would not be upset

  22. Cheyenne says:

    This is a very interesting comment from CB: “We’ll have to see if In Touch is right or not, but they probably don’t care. The magazines with Angelina’s baby news are sure to be high sellers for them and it doesn’t really make a difference whether it’s true. ”

    I’d say this is spot on, and I am wondering if the people who buy these tabloids have any idea of the total contempt in which the tabloid editors hold them. What the editors are saying is: We will print whatever we want, as long as it sells our magazine, never mind if it’s total bullshit, our readers are so stupid they wouldn’t know bullshit from a hole in the ground; we don’t care about our readers or the truth, all we want is our money.” If the people who buy the tabloids realized that they are being played for idiots, the tabloids would go out of business.

  23. Susan says:

    Cheyenne: Once again I have no probelm with you being a huge fan but please get your facts straight. In Touch did say a boy and a girl back in March 2007. Link below – hope it works.

  24. Kaiser says:

    RAN & Daisy – ZOMG IRISH TWINS!!! 😆 But in The Brange’s case perhaps it would be Irish Quads?

  25. Cheyenne says:

    Susan, I’m well aware of what InTouch said in 2007. Then they changed their minds and said Angelina was having two girls. They even invented names for the twins. In fact, the day she gave birth, they announced on their web site that she had delivered two girls. They kept the fake announcement on their site for hours after every legitimate news source had announced that she had a boy and a girl. Some friends and I were exchanging e-mails that evening while surfing the net and we had a good laugh out of In Touch’s ineptitude. Speaking of which — whatever happened to Jennifer Aniston’s “baby bump” that InTouch kept insisting was growing bigger, up until a week or two ago? If I had a nickel for every lie InTouch and the other tabloids have printed over the past two years, I could retire rich tonight.

    The tabloids are playing their readers for idiots. They print whatever they think the people who buy their magazines want to read. They don’t care how much bullshit they sell, as long as people keep buying it. That’s why I wouldn’t pay a cent for one. Like Val, I thumb through it on the checkout line, have a few good laughs, and toss it back on the rack.

  26. RAN says:

    Lol Sexy – I know, right?! Imagine THAT growing up 😯

    It’s been forever since I’ve heard the term Irish Twins 😆 Made me laugh out loud 😀 If AJ does have Irish anything, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her have quads – it’s in their nature to do things better than the current trend. Twins are sooooo this year. 😉

  27. cassie says:

    InTouch also claimed she was suffering from Postpartum Depression and wasn’t interested in sex. Also although IT said they were having boy/girl twins . On the day she gave birth they posted she had twin girls on their website. Also when she was pregnant with the twins their reps neither confirmed nor denied the pregnancy rumors. This time her manager has denied it twice,if it was true he would say i’m not commenting on tabloid stories

  28. Granger says:

    My brother and I are only 11-1/2 months apart, too, and I’ve always wondered how the hell my mom survived! Mine are 19 months apart, and that’s MORE than close enough for me. 😆

  29. xiaoecho says:

    I thought the ‘wait six weeks after the birth’ thing was only for natural births? Didn’t AJ have a caesar? Can anybody enlighten me?

    The Daily Mail are also running the story

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1089352/Angelina-Jolie-months-pregnant-fourth-biological-child-claims-U-S-magazine.html

  30. xiaoecho says:

    Waaah!! why am I in M-o-d-e-r-ation

  31. RAN says:

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! 😀

  32. Cheyenne says:

    Xiao: The Daily Mail is a British tabloid that is about as reliable a source as Star or In Touch. Notice how they hedged their bets by quoting In Touch as the source of this story.

  33. Kim says:

    I am hoping it is not true but I wouldn’t be shocked if it was. She earned more from the twins than from all the movies she did. Adopted children bring in less money than bio ones.

    Being in touch, I doubt though that it is true. It could have been spread by her camp to get her a cover to promote her movie. That NYT story is still giving me nightmares.

  34. Cheyenne says:

    Kim, Jolie’s manager has already denied that she is pregnant again. Denied it twice as a matter of fact. And why in the world would that NYT story give you nightmares? The economy gives me nightmares. Threats of terrorism give me nightmares. Celebrity stories don’t affect my life in any way at all. Why would they affect yours?

  35. Kristen says:

    Cheyenne ~

    It’s nice to always see a voice of reason on this site. Your comments are exactly what I would have said.

    I hope they have 20 kids – they obviously love being parents!

  36. Codzilla says:

    Right back at you, RAN 😀

    All this “In Touch said that, someone else said this” is giving me a headache. I’m gonna pour myself a stiff drink and start my holiday early.

  37. raven says:

    I agree with Kaiser. I think they will stop at 7 with the next child being adopted. I believe they want another Black child as AJ has talked repeatedly about matching the kids up by race. Pax was adopted as a match for Maddox and the twins were supposed to be a match for Shiloh, although AJ has pointed out that Shiloh can just look at her birth parents to see a similarity.

    I’m just speculating, but I think the number of children Brad said he wanted, dropped because he began realizing what it was taking to care for them. My brother and sister-in-law wanted about 5 kids, even after kid number 1. But after kid number 2, they woke up and realized that was enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brad and Angelina thought they had enough now, but wanted to add one more adoption for Zahara.

  38. IMO says:

    She can’t be pregnant for 2 reasons:

    1. She claims she has given birth about 3 months ago.

    Unless she lied and gave birth earlier than she claimed (as she did with Shiloh in Namibia), and since women begin to “show” around 3 months of pregnancy- she was supposed to have sex right after giving bith.

    2. She has had fertility treatments that resulted with the twins.
    Although a small precentage of women are able to get pregnant naturally after previously using in vitro- it is quite rare.

    She has a small belly- just like most women after having children.

  39. Cheyenne says:

    She “claims” she gave birth about 3 months ago? The twins were born on July 12. Do you think the mayor of Nice, the obstetrician, and the entire hospital staff are part of a collusion to hide an earlier birth date?

    We know you don’t like the woman, but this is ridiculous!

  40. Ana says:

    If I were her, I would leave the house without wearing a girdle. Speaking from my own expierence, it can be hard to get rid of the “mommy pooch” even if you do loose the weight. I know some women have no problem (damn you btw lol) But the top of my belly is flat, whereas the bottom has a little pooch. My daughter is just a week younger than her kids.
    These magazines are so concerned with getting the story first they are constantly writing crap and hoping they get close.
    If I were her I would say I got my tubes tied and then when I got pregnant no one would suspect! Nevermind there would still be stories about the reversal of the procedure lol. And the adoption rumors…You can’t escape!
    She is prolly on birth control and breastfeed them for three months (which helps by itself but isn’t foolproof.)Then again, there are always accidents.
    Although they way Brad talks about her, she’s very organized and stuff.

  41. Ana says:

    what are irish twins I’ve never heard the term…?

  42. Kim says:

    Cheyenne quote
    ‘Kim, Jolie’s manager has already denied that she is pregnant again. Denied it twice as a matter of fact’

    If I had a penny for every denial they issue when they were accused of having an affair, I would be a billionare. Take a chill pill. Angelina is a queen of lies. I cannot even begin to list the number of times she has told lies. I will never believe a word that comes out of those repulsive lips of hers. Recetly she even claimed that she has been taking a year off. Last I checked a year was 12 months not 4. Even those she took off because of pregnancy and post partum difficulties.

    I agree with you IMO she used fertility treatments. She tried to deny it, as if Brad’s genes can be responsible for 2 eggs being released in her womb or other celebs who are having twins like flies. She did it not because she needed it, but because she knew twins would make bigger headlines. I wonder what she will do next in her desperate bid for attention.

  43. Kaiser says:

    Ana, “Irish twins” is a term used to describe two siblings less than, say, a year apart in birth. Example: Britney Spears has Irish twins because Sean and Jayden’s births are almost exactly a year apart.

    Some might consider it derrogatory, but I think it’s cute. I think the “Irish” part comes from the old-school Irish (Catholic) practice of no birth control, thus a woman gets knocked up right after giving birth.

  44. Cheyenne says:

    It cracks me up that, despite all rational explanations why this could not have happened, a few people on here still insist that Angelina got pregnant through IVF.

    The only reason I can see for holding onto this delusion for dear life, despite all evidence to the contrary, is that some people simply don’t want to accept that Brad and Angie did the nasty and got pregnant the old fashioned way — i.e., they actually had sex. Perish the thought.

  45. Katya says:

    Kim I can’t imagine how you finished maths in school, but Angelina hasn’t worked in for 51 weeks. “Changeling” wrapped 12/7/07. Last time I checked that is one week shy of a year and she doesn’t start filming her next movie until late 2/09. Four months ago she was 7 and 1/2 months pregnant, and on bed-rest in a hospital.

    Angelina doesn’t lie about stuff like this and she didn’t have Geyer deny she was pregnant last year.

    Why would she risk her life and the life of her baby? A 3rd C-section is always dicey, but 9 months after the last is absolutely perilous!

  46. aleach says:

    wow you all sure know a whole lot about her life.
    when her movie wrapped, her kids bdays (which is creepy, i think), yikes.
    this is why i would be afraid if i were them. 8)

  47. Jenna says:

    That last picture of her on the In Touch cover is because of the extra weight on her FROM her recent birth. I remember seeing other magazines running the same thing after her appearance at the Changling thing. It’s just that baby weight that even Angelina can’t get rid of after a twins birth.
