No magazine surveys the wonders of nature like National Geographic.

No magazine covers popular music like Rolling Stone.

And no magazine botches Brangelina like In Touch.

Yes, the tabloid is at it again, doing its best to cover up a litany of previous stumbles by focusing readers’ attention on a new imaginary crisis for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Last week, you’ll recall, In Touch insisted a bitter fight over Jolie’s father, Jon Voight, led Pitt to “ban” Voight from his twin grandchildren’s birthday party and Jolie, in turn, to vacation in Cancun without Pitt. It was a deliciously ridiculous “report.”

Now, the mag claims, Jolie has nixed the idea of spending the twins’ birthday in Pitt’s hometown of Springfield, MO.

According to the couple’s “friend,” Pitt wanted to visit his family since sister Julie’s adopted son Caden is too sick to fly to Los Angeles. But Jolie “seemed to retaliate,” informing Pitt that if Voight couldn’t celebrate with them in L.A., she definitely wouldn’t travel to Missouri.

“If Brad couldn’t make a compromise and let her father come to the party,” the “friend” tells In Touch, “Why should she?”

Speaking of birthday parties, In Touch is starting to remind Gossip Cop of a blindfolded child wildly swinging a bat more than a dozen feet from the pinata.

Don’t expect much contact with anything solid.

There is no lingering feud about the party. There are no acts of retaliation.

Just another week of In Touch trying to squeeze water from a stone and looking foolish in the process.
