In Touch Weekly has been reporting for weeks that Angelina Jolie is pregnant.
And, today these pictures have been released. If you look closely (you don’t even have to look that close) there appears to be a bump.
While one report suggests she looks slim, I can see one of the weeklies jumping on this as a firm confirmation.
What do you think?
The Cruises have a lot to celebrate today!
Suri Cruise is the hottest kid in Hollywood according to Forbes.com’s “Hollywood’s 10 Hottest Tots.”
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ 2-year-old daughter topped the second annual list, which ranks celeb kids 5 years old and younger based on media attention and their parents’ popularity.
Suri appeared in more news articles and blogs than three of the Jolie-Pitt children.
Shiloh ranked No. 2; Zahara came in third place and Pax made it to No. 4.
Rounding out the top 10:
Roseanne is pissed off at the Jolie-Pitts!
“Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about $40 million a year in violent, psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children, trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more,” Roseanne writes.
Harsh! But wait…there’s more.
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:
I have to admit. I wanted to look inside this issue and see the baby pictures making this a strong cover for LIfe & Style.
The big problem for Life & Style this week in one word is OK!
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
This cover is TWISTED, STRANGE, SICK AND JUST PLAIN WEIRD.
Obviously, Shiloh sells for the weeklies or they wouldn’t keep putting this poor child on the cover of the magazines.
But this one is one of the most ridiculous covers I’ve seen.
The sad thing is that at least 300,000 people will actually decide to buy this issue and support the category’s Shiloh addiction.
Breaking News: This Just In
I just received an email from an internal meeting at OK magazine discussing the state of affairs at OK! What timing!
Apparently, the EIC is discussing this week’s cover and just everything in general:
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Pretty picture of Reese but that’s where the good news stops for OK Magazine this week.
This cover is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS and is out of left field.
