I think that this week’s silly tabloid headline is even more hilarious than last week’s was. This time around, In Touch (out of touch is more like it!) is claiming that Angelina Jolie is pregnant again, so soon after giving birth to her twins.
Granted, it’s not impossible. Unlikely, but not impossible. Just ask Britney Spears who has two sons very close in age, born within the year. But it’s still very unlikely. And really, if I didn’t find it such a laughable claim I would be offended on Angelina‘s behalf because although they state the news comes from “a friend”, a large part of the reason they’re saying she’s pregnant is because she has a so-called “baby bump”.
Really. My goodness, what must it be like to be a female celebrity where everyone constantly stares at your midsection, looking for the slightest hint of a bulge so that the pregnancy rumors can fly. Is there really any wonder that most of Hollywood is underweight? Who wouldn’t be, under so much scrutiny?
The reason the story makes me laugh is because they’re so predictably hypocritical. Because Angelina is not stick-thin, having just carried and birthed two babies, the lack of a completely flat stomach is supposedly because she’s pregnant. However, if her stomach was indeed perfectly flat, the tabloids would be ragging on how she’s too skinny. Maybe they’d even accuse her of being a bad mother for the weight loss because they could claim she’s an unhealthy example or that she’s spending too much time worrying about losing weight to care for her children.
It really is true that when you become a tabloid target, you just can’t win no matter what you do. If Angelina isn’t too skinny, then clearly she’s too big, and thus pregnant. It’s ridiculous.
Anyone else got a ridiculous or hilarious tabloid story to share this week?

UNDER MOD- My thoughts as to why Angie would heed the advice not to get pregnant so soon after a C-section.
About the getting pregnant so soon after a C-section thing…I forgot to mention that Angie definently doesn’t seem like she’d be that stupid!
Good grief! What will they come up with next? Not only has Angie basically confirmed that the next one will be adopted (what with her comments about not being able to start the process until any new children are six months old), but she also recently said that they add to their brood only when the newest member/members of the family are “fully absorbed” into the family.
Also, Angie had a C-section with Knox and Viv, and, from what I have read, it is definintely NOT wise to get pregnant that soon after a C-section (not that everyone heeds that advice! Look at Britney, for example!). In fact, I’ve read that you’re supposed to give your body 18 months to recover after a C-section before getting pregnant again.
Also, did In Touch not see her in New York last month? She definintely did NOT have even a hint of a baby bump, and you don’t go from zero to bump in less than a month (it hasn’t techincally been a full month yet since Angie finished promoting Changeling)!
As for In Touch’s surprisngly accurate report on Knox and Viv, I’m guessing they just got lucky! They have incorrectly reported Angie being pregnant in the past!

In Touch at first said “TWIN GIRLS”. They are as full of it as the best of them…
But hey if you need to believe and give them the benefit of doubt, then go ahead.
Apparently Angie has a cadre of friends who know enough to only bring only the important news items regarding her to her attention. Otherwise she never knows anything about this nonsense. So, good for her; and sad for us that as fans we do know about this cr*p.
WELL, SHERRY JUST LIKE THE SONG SAY’S” LETS GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT” IN TOUCH RUN OUT OF LIES ABOUT THE JOLIE-PITT. HAHAHA. LOVE YOU SHERRY MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS.
I also doubt it. Brad and Angie are not foolish young people. I think they plan their lives very carefully. I think the next will be adopted also.
A new interview with AJ in The Sunday Times(London). The link is at JJ Brad/Peter Pan thread page 18 I think
Angelina confirmed just one month ago that ”The next one will be adopted”. So, pregnancy in the near future seems impossibe.
in touch didn’t even stick with their boy and girl angle,as a day before the birth (11th july) in touch website said angelina had twin GIRLS.
this really annoys me that they think she is preggers because of the “baby bump”. My son is one year old and i still have that so called baby bump as he is my second and it is a little harder to get rid of the second time round. Give the woman a break she just had twins a few months ago…FOOLS…
dear sherry,
as you say, this is weird. on the other hand – “in touch” was the first magazine to report that they weren’t only expecting twins but A BOY AND A GIRL… but maybe that was just a good guess…
It’s possible but I doubt it. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
