SITE: Angelina Jolie Refusing NBC Interviews After Ann Curry Debacle

Truth rating: 0

(RadarOnline)

“Angelina Jolie Tells Ann Curry: Brad & I Will NOT Give Interviews To TODAY,” reads the headline of another wholly fabricated story from RadarOnline.

According to the webloid, “In the days after Ann Curry was sacked from her co-host gig on the ‘Today’ show, Angelina Jolie reached out to the veteran journalist and told her if NBC wanted an interview with her, or fiance Brad Pitt, it would be conducted by Curry, and definitely not any of the current cast of the embattled morning news program.”

“Angie doesn’t like how Ann has been treated by NBC,” alleges the site’s “source,” who adds that, “Yes, she is a very busy mom of six, and her work as an actress and activist, but she has been very aware of what is going on with her friend.”

(Most made-up sounding quote ever, by the way.)

But Curry “was sacked,” as RadarOnline so eloquently put it, back in June.

Why is Jolie’s supposed conversation with Curry just coming out now?

In any case, the bad, bad blog goes on to step in it further, quoting a so-called “source” as saying that Jolie’s demand applies to “ANY news program from NBC,” not just the “Today” show.

So, how did Curry allegedly respond?

“It meant the world to Ann that Angelina had reached out to her,” claims the “source.”

NO, it didn’t — because this alleged phone chat NEVER HAPPENED.

A rep for the “Today” show tells Gossip Cop that Curry never fielded any such call from Jolie, and added that everyone at NBC News is absolutely unaware of the Oscar winner’s supposed demand.

    Angelina Jolie would never make a demand like that to any legitimate news outlet. Sure, she’s A++-list and has major power but she’s also smart enough to know when to use that power and the firing of a co-host of a talk show is not the time. I really have no idea if Ann Curry is a friend but even if it’s true, what happen to her was business, not personal.

    Maybe she has a moral obligation to do the right thing! I believe Angelina has every right to request who ever she wants to do a interview!!!!!!!!!……….And it is not personal NBC!…….
