Angelina Jolie Watch

Rumors are running rampant about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.  I thought it would be interesting to analyze how the rumors got started and their validity.

Rumor #1: Angelina and Brad are breaking up.

The gist

This rumor started with  Star magazine few weeks back. The rag claimed that Angelina caught Brad giving one  of their nannies a back massage and “completely flipped out.”  More recently Star reports that Angelina and Brad are sleeping in separate bedrooms because she so angry over the nanny affair.  In Touch added fuel to the fire by claiming  that Angie’s brother James Haven had to move in to just to referee.

Verdict: Neither Star nor In Touch is know for their accuracy so don’t believe the hype.

Rumor #2: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are adopting a child from India.

The gist

This rumor started  in 2006. Back then reports surfaced that Angelina and Brad had applied to adopt a child from the Priya Darshini Orphanage.  Current chatter claims that Angelina and Brad had to put that adoption on hold.

“They filled out all the paperwork but had to put the adoption on hold because of all their other commitments,”  and insider claims.

Angelina supposedly spilled the beans when she she met Slum Dog Millionaire star Azharuddin Mohammed.  The ten year old star  allegedly asked Angelina why she and Brad hadn’t adopted from his homeland. “Well, I’ll let you into a little secret, we will soon,” Angelina supposedly responded.

I couldn’t find any reliable source for this information.  Several sites quote the UK’s Sunday Express but I couldn’t find the article.

Validity:  Don’t hold your  breath.  I’m sure Angelina and Brad will adopt again but the only sites printing the information print any story about Angelina and Brad.

Every few months or so we are faced with a pregnancy or adoption rumor about the Jolie-Pitt family. Rarely do they respond to any of it.  I mean if you are going to have another kid we’ll find out sooner rather than later.

The latest rumor required a flat out denial from Angelina’s manager. Geyer Kosinski says the rumor of a third pregnancy are “not true”. In Touch reported that Angelina “announced she was pregnant in a London restaurant when a waiter tried to pour her a drink.”   The “bump” on the cover is from a recent event honoring Clint Eastwood.

Bump? She’s a woman who’s given birth to three children via C-section.  If she didn’t have a little pooch I’d wonder if she was human.They also reported that the Salt filming schedule was moved because of the alleged pregnancy. (Wow they can really make this stuff up.)

Life & Style added fuel to the fire by wondering if Angie “was ‘three months along’ on a cover.

This stuff cracks me up.  And how is your week going?

Honestly, I was a bit leery about posting this shoot and the accompanying video. Turns out it’s not that bad. Basically what we have is a 16-year-old Angie doing some modeling and talking with photogs about her hobbies and interest. (We learn about her early fascination with weaponry.) Granted I wouldn’t let my 16-year-old do any of the shots but she’s certainly has nothing to regret. (I doubt our Angie has many of those.) You probably couldn’t talk her out of very much even at that age. She’s fully clothed and looks great.

She’s hasn’t changed all that much. We see the beginnings of the strong woman that we’ve come to love.

Note: Apparently she’s modeling a gold bikini is the video
