US Magazine's Twisted Double Life!
The cover story of the June 11 issue of US Weekly — "Inside Shiloh's World: The secret home life of a daddy's girl and the surprising truth about Mom" — breathlessly promises an exclusive inside peek at the day-to-day family life of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their children, with emphasis on daughter Shiloh, who recently celebrated her first birthday.
Star decided to investigate — and discovered that US Weekly's revelations about Jolie-Pitt's "secret home life" aren't so secret after all. In fact, most of the article has been recycled from TV interviews and other magazines, including Reader's Digest, U.K.'s Elle and Glamour!
US Weekly's fascinating revelations (that, ahem, they've totally "borrowed" from previously published interviews) include these riveting bon mots: Angelina loves spending time with her children, creating Easter baskets, and sharing play dates with her kids, their friends and the other moms. Yes, it sure sounds like Angelina is a terrific mother, according to US.
But hold on — that's quite a different picture from the one Us Weekly recently painted of Jolie in it's April 9 issue, whose cover story on Angelina blared: "Her Twisted Double Life!"
That feature — which, again, recycled previously published Jolie interviews from other publications — went on for eight pages, claiming Angelina had "broken her promise to be a stay-at-home mom" and that she had "secret fights with Brad over Pax's adoption." Of course, neither of these appear to be true: The couple is still together, and Jolie has just anounced that she will be taking a year off to be with her children.
Talk about Faux Biz!
