Purported Angelina Jolie shirt-lifting photos are fake, says hospital

Last week some photos came out of a random pregnant woman lifting up her shirt for the paparazzi from the window of the gorgeous resort-like hospital on the French Riviera where Angelina Jolie is staying. I saw them on Just Jared, and although it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t Angelina they posted them anyway, which is what I would have easily done if we had a deal with that photo agency.

The guy posing with the smiling woman was a thin man in a white v-neck t-shirt whose face was covered. He could have easily passed for Brad Pitt if you squinted hard enough. The woman was a brunette and although the photos were faraway and very low resolution you could tell from her features and the size of her belly that it wasn’t Angelina. Angelina also has a big tattoo on her lower abdomen that would have been visible in the photos, as Just Jared mentions.

Even though not many people were convinced that was Angelina, the hospital where she is staying felt compelled to issue a statement that there’s no way you can see into her room from below. They say they put something on the window that makes it impossible to see in. It’s likely they’re trying to discourage some of the layabout photographers who are milling around the beach just waiting for a glimpse of the heavily pregnant star:

That wasn’t Angelina Jolie waving to fans from her hospital room last week.

Last Thursday, photos surfaced of a pregnant woman who resembled the actress, 33, at Lenval Hospital in Nice, France.

But a hospital rep tells the Associated Press: “It is impossible to see into Mr. Brad Pitt and Mrs. Angelina Jolie’s room. This is not Mr. Brad Pitt or Mrs. Angelina Jolie in them.”

The rep says that the windows of Jolie’s room have been covered with a special material to prevent any prying eyes.

On Tuesday, Pitt and son Pax, 4, visited Jolie, who has been resting and is being monitored by doctors in the seaside hospital.

We published photos of the pigs on Brad and Angelina’s property on a slow news day, which gave me an excuse to talk about my harrowing experience with a family of wild boar, so of course a maybe-photo of Angie warrants discussion.

So far all that’s come out of Angelina in weeks is a very faraway picture of her outside. There are only a few photos of her kids and a mostly covered-up Brad Pitt dashing into the hospital visit her. I know right before my son was born my face was puffed up like a watermelon and I was huge. There’s like one photo of me at the time, and I would destroy it if the digital version were in my possession. Angelina’s arms are probably still skinnier than mine are now, so she’s not facing the same level of weight gain I had with just one baby, but who wants to get their photo taken right before they give birth? I would say that the paparazzi should pack it up and go home, but they probably assume that the minute they give up Angelina will emerge, and they’ll kick themselves for missing that money shot.

    I think the paps should pack it in too, but I doubt that will happen.

    I think its pretty obvious that those phots were fake. I mean, if the family is taking such precautions to stay out of the tabs, why would Angie do that? It doesn’t make sence

    Wonder how much the pap got for an almost-Brange shot. I bet it was at least five figures.

    Well, if I were a pregnant mom at that hospital, I would find it impossible not to torment the paps through a window! I bet it’s some other mom having a joke.

    lol, so not her, not even a chance- unless she used a ton of tattoo concealer, because she has a cross and a Latin(i think it’s Latin) phrase across her stomach which would be soooo visible in those pics- she has “Quod me nutrit me destruit”, meaning “What nourishes me, destroys me.” It’s one of my favorite sayings. 😀
