Entertainment Tonight isn't yet ready to retract its (said to be early, said to be false) story on Friday about Angelina Jolie giving birth to twins. Taking its website offline, for "technical difficulties," was not, actually an admission of error.
Yesterday Jossip broke the news that ET might've been duped by someone impersonating Jolie's assistant Holly Goline, using a fake BlackBerry email address — that's been used to dupe media outlets for at least the past year.
But now the show says they were not made a fool.
An exec there told the Associated Press one of their producers who was in contact with the source – Goline – had worked with Goline at CNN and kept her email address. An exec at ET also forwarded the AP an email that supposed corroborated this version of things.
Not that any of that puts the show in the clear. Jolie's camp has yet to officially deny Goline spoke with ET. Perhaps that's because, just like their efforts to sell the confirmation of their pregnancy, they wanted to sell the confirmation of their birth.
And Jolie and Pitt's reps say she hasn't yet given birth. Which makes sense, since most birth date guesses peg the twins' arrival in August. And even Sarah Ivens, editor of OK!, says she's skeptical, given the lack of evidence: no reports of flower deliveries, no grandparents visiting. And there's always some delivery boy willing to sell his story in exchange for 12 weeks of minimum wage to whatever tabloid outlet he can reach.

I wish you would stop all that noise during the show. It doesn't excite anyone, and is very irritating and annoying.
