Busting bad dish!

Brangelina photos in Venice were not staged, despite claim

Truth rating: 1

Brangelina staging family photos,” reads the headline of a piece in the New York Post, which goes on to claim, “Those happy family photo ops in Venice are being staged ‘like a military operation’ to quash reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting.”

For background, Pitt, Jolie, and their kids are in Venice, where she’s shooting “The Tourist” with Johnny Depp.

The Post article then quotes a so-called source saying, “They’re making a point of being seen in public as a happy family unit.”

A few things…

First, Gossip Cop checked into this, and we’re told the photos were NOT staged. “If you’ve ever been to Venice,” said our source, “you’d know because of the canals, it’s not like Los Angeles where you can just pull away in an unmarked car and not get photographed.

Our insider also noted they “have no need to pretend.”

Good point.

Gossip Cop would also like to add the following: When there are shots of Pitt alone – on his motorcycle, for example – stories spread that he wants time away from Jolie and the family. But when he’s pictured with Jolie and the kids, people then claim it’s just for show.

Not only are these portrayals unfair, but they are also inaccurate.

    What the heck is with these rags that are always insisting celebrities are “staging” their romances or stuff like this to make people believe they are still together. I’m sure if Angie and Brad weren’t together they would just say so not pretend to be together. Everytime celebrity couples are separated due to work out come the rags with the rumors too. It’s so stupid. Thanks for setting the record straight as usual GC.

    Whether you think Brad and Angie staged the photos are not, you have to admit that the pics did help to squash the breakup rumours. If you want to read more about the famous couple, check out “Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie”.

    Actually the link above is a virus, and that so-called book happens to be written by an ex-con felon named ‘Pian Malperin’ who Rollingstone magazine has already outted as being a lying tabloid hack – he’s also a writer who once wrote he had sex with Anna Nicole Smith on Marilyn Monroe’s grave — frankly, if he’s lying, he’s a sick bast*erd and if he’s telling the truth he’s a sick baste*rd. He’s desperately trying to rack up sales for his BORING, already DISPROVEN hard cover tabloid (see HuffingtonPost Sr Editor who dismantled several silly ridiculous lies this fool told) his ‘book’ and I use the term loosely, is full of so many inaccuaracies, straight up lies, and laughable errors. His biggest crime, writing a book about Angelina Jolie (and Brad Pitt) and making it a snoozefest that hasn’t been seen since someone wrote an unauth bio on the Hanes Fruit Guys. By the way, the book is ranked at #87,689 on Amazon. It’s over sleazeball, give it up.
