Shiloh Makes Magazine Cover
Proud parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie celebrated baby Shiloh’s first birthday on Sunday with cookies, cake and balloons.
“I was contacted by the bodyguards,” Katarina Rozsivalova of Prague’s Balon Servic (a balloon service) tells Us Weekly. “They told me they needed 50 balloons for Saturday and Sunday. An assortment of colors.”
Papa Pitt is one fun father to Shiloh, Zahara, 2, Pax, 3, and Maddox, 5.
“One time, when the kids were bored, [Brad] had them all throwing empty pizza boxes as Frisbees,” says a source. “Obviously, Shiloh was too young to join in, but you could hear her laughing.”

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.”

Rotflmao…yeah, I can see why you want her to shut up about BP. When she talks aout it, It completely wrecks havoc to your dreams that they don’t love each other.
Goodness, you’re so pathetically obvious….I cringe for your sake.
#110 / Piper with a low
Lol….I noticed that. People coming out of the wood work saying they love Shiloh so much, they’re gonna buy the magazine. *shakes head* There isn’t a subtle bone in there body, is there?
Did US Weekly put Zahara or front cover for her birthday? shiloh is not a celebirty. Her parents are. Where was Kingston James cover? Where was Suri Cruise cover? And why Manice Jin stuck on Brad and Angelina’s family? Every other week it’s a story about them. That’s what you call and editor? And don’t believe for a moment when Brad & Angelina take that year off that they won’t be in the tabs. The tabs will make up stories to keep them in there. They will be livng a quiet provate life away from everyone including JJ but the tabs will have Brad talking with ex girlfriends saying that Angelina is driving him to leave.And some of you dummies will be up in arms screaming that THEY SHOULD RESPOND TO THESE FAKE ALLEGATIONS…*yawn*.

Mmmmmm
Why don’t you go ************. You have serious ISSUES girl. I know a really good shink who can hook you up with some meds to calm your CRAZY a$$ down. Anyone that has this much HATE and EVIL for someone they don’t even know personally has major issues. Seriously, Did Jen hire you to do her dirty work…come on, you can tell us. You were here early this morning with your sh1 t. Get some help because clearly you are INSANE. A fking LUNATIC. Did you just escape from the luny bin. If you are on meds…for Christ sakes TAKE THEM PLEASE.
==================
I bet you know a shrink but good? Not sure about that, not sure you would still be here loosing your mind on someone you dont even know if your shrink was a good one. So much hate means issue’s another topic you have experience with? Never said hate … its called an opinion. Sorry that you have no education and cannot understand that concept. Please feel free to look up in that online dictionary.
Rule 7) Claim the person to be insane and not taking medication for illness for having difference of opinion. Even though it makes you look insane and off balance.
Too funny, you certainly have some issue’s making light of a serious issue such as mental illness but wouldnt expect anything less from the ppl that love to hate.
stupid query but is this the latest thread?

And for them to know a potential sore spot of the majority of the BAMPZS fans here tells me that they hang out here more than they’re willing to admit.
It’s always a shame when people have to dummy up about a particular aspect of their lives… i.e. lurking here and commencing specific posters’ personal trivia and faq’s to memory.
{shaking my head}
She says a lot about Brad, but this stood out: “He ’s much more of a man, than any man I’ve ever met.”
—————————————–
I like that quote.She says so much in a few words.
Fans should NOT buy this magazine and support Janice Min and her little evil empire. Remember what she has said about the Jolie-Pitts in the past. She is using a baby to sell magazines. Exploiting children is not something I support.
Why suddenly the haters are campaignign not to buy Us weekly. They didnt do that when they had a negative article on Angelina, and now that it seems the article is positive, they dont want the mag to sell.
anyway, its really up to B&A fans whether to buy the mag or not. Its already there, its not as if Us weekly will stop with what its doing if the cover wont sell.
Look at Life and Style, in their latest Angelina cover they are still insisting that Brad and Agnie had split or as they put it calling it quits and that they are together for a show and to promote their films. Thats the thing, whether you buy them or not, they will still continue with their twisted fabricated stories, apparently there people no matter what just want to read about B&A.

funny
Mmmmmm
You have been on this site all day bashing Angie and her family. If anyone goes to any of the other Brad and Angie thread they will see all the sh! t that you are saying; so yeah I think that you have serious issues for being so hateful and evil. You are a mean and nasty person and need to get a life. You spend all your time here posting vile things about these two people.
My bet is that the brad tatoo can be in her ass cruch or boobs
Jared - You’re incredible man!!! Thanks so much for pampering the BAMPZS fans!!!! You rock, rock, rock!!!
Thanks Tabitha for posting the Marie Claire excerpts. Looks like a really revealing article. Now we’re all going to be wondering where Brad’s tattoo lives. I’m guessing maybe her ass. :-) Can’t wait to buy a copy.
And thanks Christmas Morning for the NPR heads up. Found the interview. It was film critic John Powers on Fresh Air. He really liked the film. What was interesting though was his comments about Angie which sounded similar to Allen Barra, who wrote that Salon.com article posted on one of the recent threads. Here’s what Powers said.
“The one problem is that I personally find Angelina Jolie so vast a screen presence, which is distinct from being an actress, that it’s very hard to see her playing somebody you know as a real person. Because even when she’s acting well she’s just so Angelina Jolie that you feel she should be on Mt. Olympus rather than some apartment someplace. For me that’s the most interesting thing about her career. How do you find roles that seem big enough for her because somehow she just pops on the screen? When’s she’s there you’re watching her and nothing else.”
John Powers is the film critic for Vogue.
Lies and Steal is sticking to their story that B& A have split and are raising their kids apart!!! Its becoming so infuriating!!! why are they allowed to sell these lies!!! Everyone has seen them together groping in CAnnes, and nver been apart except for a few days when both are working in diff cities. When are they going to stop these lies!!!
I am all for Janice Min to expose their lies, i hope she continues their expose’!!!!
PLZZZZZZZ!PLZ!!PLZ!PLZ!HOW CAN I GET THE INTERVIEW de “”marie claire”"”"!!!PLZ pLZZZZ?????????????????,

lol yep right where Brad’s hand rests..
It seems some people think not supporting this issue, means not supporting the JPs. It’s quite the opposite….supporting the JPs is not supporting Janice Min and her evil empire (lol…love that). Less than 2 months ago, she tried to tear AJ down by claiming she leads a double life and now all of a sudden, she’s got Shiloh’s pix on her magazine? I mean, seriously….what does she think we are….the Fanistons?
If anyone is under the illusion that she did this because they just loooooves Shiloh, please snap out of it. It’s cold hard math….anything JP brings the dough and Ms. Min has shown us why she and her ilk belong in the gutter.
OT: i love gwen stefani, in her latest cd what other cool songs that she have aside from 4 in the morning,n sweet scape? thanx….

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unlike you I don’t dream about celebrities and I don’t give a damn if they love each other. I’m tired of hearing about his lame ass. Angelina was much more interesting before Brad now all she does is talk about that Boring ugly man.
y’all shouldn’t have been buying the other hatemongering tabs as well. I guess’ y’all buy them for the pictures like Janice Min sneered in that interview. Even it’s all lies or morally wrong, y”all buy cuz y’all like them pictures.
Angelina looks real good lately with her children. Blessings to the family.
Honestly, I am sick & tired of
BP’s “privacy” BS.
He was talking & talking & talking
about ****$y and ugly PRIVATE stuff
re: Maniston and that merger.
All of the sudden, he is “private”!
AJ strokes his ego 24/7/365.
I BET HE NEVER TRIED TO STOP HER!!
Maybe, just maybe, he could try and
say how TRULY great mom and a wonderful
human being Angelina is - AS WE ALL
KNOW SHE IS - from how she lives her
life.
A little bit INSECURE this time around,
aren’t you, Mr.Pitt?!
I still think it is wrong for US magazine to feature Shiloh on the cover since she is not a celebrity, but I must admit they chose the cutest picture ever. They probably retouched the picture but she is definitely the cutest celeb baby. THe “insider” info on the birthday party is cute but it is a guilty pleasure to be privy to what is supposed to be an intimate celebration with their family.
