Star Mag Cheats With Brad Pitt Flight Attendant “Scandal”

Truth rating: 0

(Star magazine)

Does Star magazine translate its stories into English from obscure foreign sources?

It might explain why the tabloid seems to have so much trouble with the meaning of words.

For instance, Star‘s claim that Brad Pitt has been “caught” in a cheating scandal, as the tabloid blares on this week’s cover, would lead one to believe that the accompanying story actually explains how the actor is caught in a cheating scandal.

Too bad the mag kind of forgets to include that part.

In fact, despite the cover promising to give “the incredible story” behind Pitt’s alleged affair, the tabloid provides nothing of the sort.

Instead, it supplies a ridiculous bait-and-switch about as tasty and filling as airplane food.

A French model named Racine who moonlights as a flight attendant “may also be Brad Pitt’s secret lover,” reports Star, which cites discredited biographer Ian Halperin‘s vague blog scribblings about the woman’s sexual history.

Racine supposedly works for a private jet company that A-listers “including Brad” use when flying between France and the United States. “It’s during those flights that Halperin says the stunning woman likes to have sex with married or attached men,” relays the tabloid. Halperin quotes the attendant as saying that she’s “slept with at least three men [Angelina Jolie] slept with.”

That’s it.

The flight attendant never says she’s had an affair with Pitt.

No one else says the flight attendant has had an affair with Pitt.

In fact, the only thing Star says is “certain” is that “women like flight attendant Racine are always going to be a threat.”

To recap: Star magazine goes from claiming on the cover that Pitt’s been “caught” in a cheating scandal with a flight attendant to saying that the woman — whom it’s possible Pitt has never met — poses a “threat.”

Gossip Cop has “caught” the tabloid making yet another Mile High Flub.

    At last somebody calls Ian Halperin by his proper name “DISCREDITED BIOGRAPHER”. This guy is a sick and serial lier with two or three followers.

    I agree. Halperin has already been completely discredited…….why is anyone still listening to his drivel?
    On a happier note…..I LOVE this website!! I wish everyone who believes the supermarket tabloids and rags would find out about Gossip Cop! I am thrilled to see THE REAL STORY in Gossip Cop. It gives me faith that there is SOMEONE out there who cares about the truth. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    Star is getting more ridiculous by the “second”. GC is doing a great job. What I can’t understand is why can’t these ridiculous stories be stopped completely by someone. The celebs should all form a union of some sort and do a massive sue as a group. Who will ever tell these rags the truth about anything… they have lied so much.

    What I REALLY want to know is this: how does Gossip Cop work? Are you guys basically calling these celebs’ publicists for an answer to the gossip? You make no note of it. You simply claim that you know better. And even IF their publicists are in contact with you, what makes you think they’d tell you that a juicy bit of gossip was true? Hell no! The m.o. for a publicist is to act like nothing is wrong and deny, deny, deny. Until of course, we can see that the gossip was true all along, several months down the road…

    Some of those stories we don’t need GC to tell us that they got it wrong, because they are so ridiculous. If the rags are going to tell the truth, then all of it should be detailed and the whole truth. Why didn’t they give this French model and flight attendance’s whole name? If she is a model the publicity might do her some good. The thing about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is that they have too many stories going on about them. If it isn’t this, then it’s that. They should give them a rest for a change.
