Okay, we admit it - they got us, too. After doing a couple of cartwheels and smoking a carton of Cubans, here at FameCrawler we announced the birth of Angelina Jolie's twins. After all, the original story came from Entertainment Tonight, and they claimed to have a source right there in the same room as the placenta.
On their Friday night broadcast ET claimed that “a source who says she was inside the delivery room tells us yes, the babies were born and yes, mother and babies are doing fine.”
But it slowly became apparent that the news was false and was eventually refuted by Brad Pitt's manager and several news organization. ET, however, has never commented on their premature announcement, and just quietly removed the story from its website. MSNBC says:
A representative from the show, who refused to
speak on the record, said Monday that the story had not been retracted.
The representative would not comment on whether the show had checked
back with the original source after Pitt’s manager denied the births.
The show’s veteran executive producer, Linda Bell Blue, did not return a call seeking comment on Monday.
“Entertainment
Tonight” didn’t mention the story on Monday’s broadcast. It did,
however, pick up quotes from a magazine interview with Angelina Jolie
about being married.
Of course, here at FameCrawler we're not too proud to admit we made a mistake. Although we'd like to point out that it was all Entertainment Tonight's fault.
