This week In Touch made Los Angeles Times blogger Liz Snead — who's been calling on Angelina Jolie to SHOW YOURSELF!!! – a very happy woman: At last, since Entertainment Tonight first falsely reported the superstar mom had given birth to her twins, there's photo evidence that … she hasn't.
Aerial pics were snapped of Angelina, with daughters Zahara and Shiloh, outside the Chateau Miraval in the south of France. And what's that under Ms. Jolie's frock? A very pregnant stomach, indeed.
Which leaves just one question: Will ET and exec producer Linda Bell Blue finally admit they were terribly wrong with their original report about the birth? Perhaps, but it's no sure thing. Imagine the excuses the tabloid show will come up with to stick by their original story: The pics are old (In Touch says they were snapped June 22), or Angelina is wearing a fake stomach to throw off the paparazzi.
(Trace how the birth rumor got started.)
N.B.: Very curiously, In Touch didn't promote these photos on its cover. Only a "Brad leaves Angie again" tease ran. And the cover story about "39 Best & Worst Beach Bods?" That's the type of evergreen feature you can shelve when you're the only magazine with hew photos of Angelina Jolie, who's been your muse for years.

ET already did and feature and NO they didn't retract their story, all they said was that there was a "rumor" that went around about her giving Birth
The magazine said those pictures were taken on June 22nd. Do you think Elizabeth Snead just creamed her panties because she can now view a photo of Angelina?
So ET in fact bought the pics from Bauer/In Touch with a deal that they wont put the pics on its cover and not make it such a big deal so that they wont put ET to shame having erroneously reported Angelina gave birth already.
And ET on its part never retracted the story hoping that people already forget that they made Angelina deliver 2 premature babies!
ET has lost its credibility big time and they should not fool its viewers, im glad there are blogs like Jossip which exposes them. Hats off to you David!
Why would ET buy the photo's? That makes no sense. I could see them working out an exclusive to just show them on ET but buy them?
Didn't they have the In Touch people on their show Tuesday night? All of their stories kind of jumble together nowadays anyway, it could have been on last night. The real question we should be asking is when will Mary Hart "retire" and her clone Jann Carl be replacing her?
ET jumped the shark when they went all out with the Anna Nicole story and then bought the Heath Ledger "drug tape" then got shamed out of using it.
They blew this story big time. They even put this as "real or rumor" and had the IT people say "stories in the international press about her giving birth", instead of saying it was ET that was the culprit that did not back down. Every other news outlet admitted that she had not given birth, so it was ET that was the last "fool" left standing, even though they were told it was false. All the other TV entertainment magazines did not go with the story, so ET has no one to blame but themselves. As for Snead of the LA Times, she is just nuts.
From In Touch site!
There has been speculation in the world media that Angelina Jolie already had her babies, but just four days ago on June 22, an In Touch Weekly photographer got a rare shot of Angelina still heavily pregnant, taking a break from bed rest. These photos capture the actress hanging out with children Shiloh and Zahara outside Chateau Miraval — the home she, Brad Pitt and the kids are staying at in the south of France. While her official due date is in August, insiders tell In Touch that she will deliver around July 15.
**********************************
If In Touch is not in cohorts with Entertainment Tonight, why cant ther report the fact that it was ET and its sis show Insider, which reported that Angelina had given birth and not the world media. Lol, and it wasnt even a speculation, it was a confirmation from them.
I highly doubt there was any collusion between ET and the crown jewel of Bauer Publications. The simple fact is - InTouch, like sister mag Life & Style, is feeling the pinch of the steady sales decline all their Jolie covers has caused. People are just flat sick of their lies about the Jolie-Pitts. At this point they're the boy who cried wolf. One of the few times in the last 3 years they've told the truth about Jolie and nobody cares. The hot beach bod covers have been good sellers for other rags, so InTouch is following suit. Not a lot of progressive or innovative thinkers in that outfit.
