Angelina Jolie and the Killer Whales

Ya ya, when was the last time I’ve heard they’ll get married? Typical tabloids lies, man. I really think Brad and AJ should stay partners as Goldie hawn and her beau Kurt are. Marriage will ruin Pitt and Jolie’s relationship for sure. Until I read an official announcement in a proper newspaper, I will not believe the trash in the trashoids

ITA. Even if they did. it would be a very simple rite. like the way Matt Damon and his wife do.

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS PLEASE?

I don’t understand this skinny business.

Angelina has always been skinny. She worked out for Tomb Raider but was also padded for the role. She said so herself. But she worked for that body. It was not natural.

Brad’s body for Troy also was not natural. He worked hard to make his body like that for the role.

It’s more natural to be skinny than to be fat.

Brad and Angelina are not as superficial as some of you. They could care less what they look like, it they have wrinkles,big forehead, etc…They do have matching veins however. It’s so romantic. They saw themselves in each other. What a powerful love that is.

my brother said about the new Us weakly cover of lil Shiloh, he said that would have been ok if they put her on cover and then donate like 100k to Shiloh’s name or sum kind of charity that way Us weakly have done sumthing good in a way…

i am sorry to burst ur bubble twokids2 but ur the one who is IGNORANT! really, am more just a lurker in the j/p thread eversince and sometimes, i do check aniston thread, once in a while but i don’t say bad comments about jennifer nor hate her, she is ok for me. but i noticed u being there in here thread praising jennifer and u come on this thread and finding fault at her? i also read ur nasty comments over PH in j/p threads and ur bashing her badly my friend , i guess u are scared to say too much here becoz JJ is more of a BRANGELINA HAVEN…and any offensive remarks , get deleted. also tht Mmmmm….who is pro-aniston , u both are, why not help suppurt ur idol jen bashing angie will not make jen any better nor get her any movie projects.it only shows u too, are desperate becoz some fans are so happy w/ the achievements of the favorite family.

Celeb Rag Shocker: Us’s Exposé Exposé!

Eleven months ago, In Touch magazine ran a “Breaking News” cover about Jennifer Aniston that declared “JEN LOOKS PREGNANT!”

In January, another cover blared: “FRIENDS WORRY BRITNEY’S PREGNANT.” In April, Katie Holmes got the treatment: “KATIE LOOKS PREGNANT AGAIN.”

In Touch wasn’t alone on the bump-watch front. In the space of one year, after Angelina Jolie gave birth to baby Shiloh, Life & Style, owned by the same company, announced four times that Jolie again looked pregnant, was trying to get pregnant, was wearing loose-fitting clothing or nixing foods that pregnant women avoid. In 2005, Star said Jessica Simpson was “Finally PREGNANT!” In 2006, OK! magazine screamed: “J.LO TO BE A MOM!” Yet during this blizzard of cover headlines, these stars had given birth only to bogus stories.

While breathless hype is hardly unknown in the celebrity-rag business, a rival’s finger-pointing campaign is rare indeed. Us Weekly recently started razzing the competition with such weekly spreads as “How They Faked the Baby ‘News.’ ”

“When we put it all together and saw how many times they’ve played this game of trickery, it was pretty shocking,” says Us Weekly Editor Janice Min. “Would you continue to buy laundry detergent that didn’t work week after week?”

Clearly, this is not simply an exercise in selfless investigative sleuthing. In fact, Jann Wenner, the media mogul who owns Us Weekly, ordered up the attacks. Min, whose factual track record is not unblemished, concedes that her attempt to tarnish the other magazines amounts to “a business decision.”

Editors at the other magazines refused to address the details. “Did I miss the memo from Us Weekly saying they want to edit everyone’s magazines now? They should concentrate on their own,” Richard Spencer, editor of In Touch, says in a statement.

Richard Valvo, a spokesman for Star, says the magazine “would never willfully or knowingly print anything that we deem not to be true.” He calls it “amusing” that Min “would single out publications in the same category as Us Weekly” in light of her own record of corrections. (More on that below.)

Life & Style editors declined to comment. A spokesman for OK! did not respond to a request for comment.

At stake in the sniping is market share in a burgeoning business that almost seems to outstrip the available supply of celebrity couplings and uncouplings. At the end of 2006, Us Weekly was selling 1.75 million copies a week, a 40 percent increase over three years earlier. Star’s circulation was 1.5 million, a 26 percent jump in three years. But the most dramatic increases were among two magazines launched in the last five years: In Touch (1.3 million), up 151 percent since 2003; and Life & Style (753,000), up 157 percent during that period. People remained the industry leader with sales of 3.7 million.

The formula is fairly simple. Stars must be seen falling in and out of love, cheating or being cheated on, dieting or blimping up, bouncing back or melting down. Weddings, divorces, pregnancies, births, drug problems and rehab stints are huge. The problem is that the two dozen or so first-name luminaries whose faces move magazines — Paris and Lindsay and Britney and Nicole and their boyfriends and ex-boyfriends — can stir up only so much intrigue week after week. So some of the magazines take liberties.

“It’s clear what the editorial agenda is — to spin fantasy under the illusion of news,” Min says.

But wouldn’t phony stories catch up with the publications that peddle them? “There is a market of women out there who just like looking at the photographs,” says Min. “I also think a lot of people just haven’t caught on.”

A review of the Us Weekly allegations shows that the other magazines have repeatedly published stories and speculation that turned out not to be true, but that they often leave themselves some wiggle room with words such as “may” or “looks” or “told friends.”

A recent Star “exclusive” on Cruise and Holmes was headlined “DIVORCE!,” with the subhead “Katie in tears.” So far, no split.

A Life & Style cover this month on Jolie was headlined “WHY SHE LEFT BRAD” (she hasn’t). The story said Jolie had told an unnamed friend that “it’s over,” and the “biggest reason” was Brad Pitt’s continuing relationship with ex-wife Aniston. A year ago, Life & Style said Pitt had told Aniston he was going to marry Jolie and that “Angie visited . . . Karl Lagerfeld” for her wedding gown. In Touch also keeps marrying them off. They remain unhitched.

OK! trumpeted the news last month that “J.LO & MARC SPLIT!,” reporting that Jennifer Lopez “and her husband of just under three years, Marc Anthony, 38, had called it quits.” Well, not so far. And these magazines rarely, if ever, run corrections.

Us Weekly patrols the same celebrity precincts but tends to word things more carefully. A cover this month on Cruise and Holmes was headlined “NO WAY OUT/In love with Tom, but confined by Scientology, a conflicted Katie struggles to find happiness.”

Rival executives, blaming the crusade on jealousy over their circulation growth, are happy to point to Us Weekly’s mistakes, although not with their names attached. Before Holmes and Cruise had their baby, Us Weekly reported that she was having a boy. Oops: a girl arrived instead.

“We have made reporting mistakes, like any news organization,” Min says. “We have corrected them in the magazine. When it does happen, we’re mortified.”

Us Weekly also reported that Cruise and Holmes had bought an estate near London. You needed a magnifying glass to read the correction.

There are also creative ways of dealing with a scoop that falls flat as a souffle. After a big “VINCE PROPOSES!/Jen Says Yes” cover — which Min insists was true, including the selection of a ring — Us Weekly had to confront the apparent lack of an engagement. The solution was a followup story: “VINCE BACKS OUT.”

You know, I wonder if these tabloids ever think about the sales from fans they’re losing out on? I’ll be honest, before all of these rags turned on the JP’s, I’d snatch them all up (the pregger stories, the wedding stories, the baby stories, etc.) - especially when they had great pics. But once they started the relentless smears and hit jobs, just nasty stuff - week in and week out, I literally haven’t bought ANY of this trash. So I wonder who they think is buying this stuff, and if it ever occured to them, that they could get whatever market segment IS currently buying their rags, PLUS the fan base of the JP’s, IF they would only STOP going negative all the time. I would really have liked to see a magazine cover Cannes, and Brad and Angie and ther triumphant collaberation and gorgeousness on the red carpet — I guess People might have something. I’m going to start subscribing to them.

ITAWU. actually, those smear job didn’t let Angie and Brad lose their fans but rather gaining more. those smear job didn’t hurt their popularity nor career. just look at recent Cannes festival, not even Leo DC, Jake G., George C can outshine the popularity of this two.

Still having problems with self-control, hun? Sad, very sad….jus so you know…you are in my thoughts. Everytime I say a prayer for people who have don’t have the will power to stop doing things that hurts ‘em, I’ll think of you. There’s Lindsey Lohan (poor Alcoholic Lindsey Lohan) there’s Britney Spears (Addicted to fame) and there’s you (Addicted to BP and AJ).

I hope for your children’s you get help. Even though I don’t know you or your children, I believe they deserve better.

You are an idiot. Who can’t see past her big fat nose. Can you not see the picture of Mad, Pax and Angie standing behind the wall and even then Mad does not want to get close to the Whales. He is clearly intimidated by the big mammal. Give it a break and go STFO. If you don’t like them 1 post is good enough to tell us all, 1 POST , THEN MOVE ON!!

No #169 it not being stupid.

I lurk all the time and sometimes I cannot believe how stupid, dense some people can be. Just look at the picture and it tells its own story. It makes you wonder how they can come to the conclusion some of them come to.

That is the one saving grace, if you can call it that mosquito hawk, good point. The old adage no such thing as bad publicity is true, the worse the tablies lie and make up sh*t and splash them on cover after cover, the bigger and almost mythological Brad and Angelina become. I posed a hypothetocal, and asked myself a very simple question - will all the press harping on Angelina and Brad make people less likely to see ‘A Mighty Heart’ and ‘Ocean’s 13,’ or MORE likely….well we all know the answer to that. LOL!! MORE!! So bring it on tablies, you’re just making all those little jolie pitt babies richer!
