With Enough Covers, Every Tabloid Could've Had the Brangelina Twins Story Right
Truthiness in babies

The case could be made that we've already over-analyzed the over-analyzing of Brad and Angelina's baby twins as we tried to find the winners and the losers in previous nine months of baby speculation. But we did some digging through our tabloid archives and found a few shining stars among the blight, where some celebrity weeklies fared better in their guessing game — is she having a boy? a girl? twins? two girls? — than others.

It's not an exhaustive examination of every Brangelina-related baby cover of the past year, which would show that every tabloid got some info right and wrong at some point. But treat it as evidence that plenty of folks didn't really know what they were doing, and that "inside sources" could often be replaced by "magic 8-balls" or "Crazy Aunt Zelda."

    You should look for In Touch cover where they change their story for "Twin girls". Their “inside sources” ARE “magic 8-balls” or “Crazy Aunt Zelda.” or their own as***.

    BT, In Touch never reported twin girls on their cover, that was Star.

    Hate all you want, In Touch got it right. For whatever reason, they are by far the most accurate (and entertaining) of the mags,and i read all of them. "Us" just seems like they're guessing or making it up.
