Remember When Entertainment Tonight Insisted That The Brangelina Twins Were Already Born...?

HerBadMother — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:20:00 GMT

... you know, when they said that they had a source at the hospital and that their source was reliably reporting that the babies had been born? And that even though the Brangelina camp denied it and said that there was a fake source pretending to be an assistant and so don't believe what you hear? And how ET was dead-set adamant that their story was sound, and that their source was good, and so they refused to retract or back down from that story?

Well, they've finally backed down. Sort of. They didn't exactly issue a retraction, but they did say this:

“Although [Jolie’s obstetrician Dr. Michel Sussmann] did not reveal an exact due date, he did say that the twins will arrive soon. ETonline had previously been given false information about the birth, but are happy to report that her doctor has now confirmed to us that the twins will arrive “in the weeks to come.”

Ah. So they didn't get the story wrong, they were 'given false information.' Not their responsibility at all, then, is it?

What a bunch of weiners. I'm happy to admit when I get a story wrong - no skin off my nose. Gossip media get stories wrong all the time. Hell, it's part of the fun.

I guess ET didn't get that memo. They must think that they're, like, serious news or some such shit. Which, whatever. Perez, in that case, must be CNN.

'Entertainment Tonight': No Comment On Angelina Jolie Mistake

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:05:00 GMT

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A representative from the show, who refused to speak on the record, said Monday that the story had not been retracted.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.

Mary Hart Plays Mary Hart to Kevin Costner's Kevin Costner

Ever wonder how things are behind the scenes? Well, this is kind of behind the scenes- there's still a camera rolling. Mary Hart talks to Kevin Costner and his wife Christine about their baby Cayden Wyatt Costner, K-Cos' fifth child and her first.

Reports ET, "I love [my kids] and it's an everyday thing -- you've got to be an active participant," shares Kevin. "[Cayden's] a world traveler. I think a lot of people who grow up in the movies already have more stamps on your passport than you can imagine. [He's] been around already."

Who knew Mary Hart and the Costners were so close?
