Guy Ritchie spoke out for the first time today.
Ritchie told People magazine: ‘My marriage is fine as far as I’m aware of.’
He continued: ‘I live vicariously through my wife, so I was once a spy and now I’ve become a tourist, and it’s much more fun to live in London as a tourist than it is as a spy.
In Touch’s new issue containing 20 pictures of the Jolie-Pitt family may land them in hot water.
Brad’s lawyers have been sending out cease and desist letters to web sites and blogs who have leaked photos of the couple and their children (minus the twins) at their chateau that were taken by a highly powerful lens.
Wow!
In Touch got the first pictures of the twins?
Look at that inset.
It’s Angelina Jolie with one of the twins. Awww!
This is what many newsstand buyers will think when they head to the newsstand this weekend.
And, when they buy the magazine they will be disappointed.
Why?
That inset is not one of the twins. It’s a doll. It’s Shiloh’s doll if I remember correctly.
But the secret to the success of this cover is THAT inset.
Without it, In Touch is presenting photos of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie’s family - which isn’t newsworthy on its own.
On the inset, the editors place a tag “20 new pics inside.” This was a BIG mistake. Since, it looks like the magazine was trying to lead the readers to believe that they have the “twins’” photos, why say you have 20 photos. In this case, less would have been more.
Is In Touch Really Trying to Trick the Reader?
While many of you will say that In Touch is purposively tricking the reader - I would say I agree.
But, not 100 percent. The dek is very clear that its the family celebrating the birth of the twins. But, it doesn’t mention anything about there being “pictures of the twins.” So, yes they covered themselves.
The Insets:
The William Morris Agency signed Alex Rodriguez as a client. The New York Yankees star who has been linked to Madonna, is splitting from his wife, etc., will continue to use Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary, reports the New York Times.
Alex’s friends are talking out on his they have a lot to say.
“After about six months of him [Alex Rodriguez] asking for a divorce, she [Cynthia Rodriguez] said it was okay for him to see other people, but she wouldn’t agree to a separation.”

Us Weekly features Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon on its cover looking at trip vacation pics.
Hey, that could be me!
This cover is what Us Weekly is all about.
Stars really are like us. (Bonnie Fuller created that vision for Us Weekly and Janice Min continues to ride on her coattails.)
In the past, I haven’t been a fan of this story because I don’t think a lot of readers are talking about this couple.
But this cover photo is a winner and will walk off the newsstand. And, in the celebrity weekly category newsy photos like this are rare.
On another note, you can tell that the In Touch and Us Weekly did not have strong sales with the Madonna-A-Rod covers from last week.
Maonna’s loving the attention so much that she’s planning attending the All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, according to Page Six.
“She [Madonna] doesn’t care about the press it will get - she loves it. It just gets her more publicity for her upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour.”
On the other hand, Madge is said to be furious with Chris Ciccone about his tell-all book.
A source told Jossip that although Ciccone was on “Good Morning America,” his interviews with “The Insider” and “Entertainment Tonight” were canceled after Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, made calls implying that if Ciccone appeared on the shows, they’d lose access to Madonna. A rep for the shows said, “That’s not us.”
Alex Rodriguez’s favorite stripper broke her silence about the Yankee slugger Wednesday, saying she’s still a fan but wants to stay clear of his messy divorce, reports the NY Daily News.
What did she say?
This cover story is a mixed bag for Cynthia Rodriguez.
On the one hand, she claims she doesn’t to speak out.
So, she speaks to Cindy Adams?
