This week, In Touch editors borrow a page from the gang over at Star, lifting rumors from low-grade Angelina Jolie biographer Ian Halperin that suggest Brad Pitt has engaged in an “ongoing flirtation” with a French flight attendant named Racine.

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

Magazine continues the recent barrage of “bullsplit” Brangelina buzz in a big way, declaring in a cover story that Brad Pitt still loves ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and is only staying with Angelina Jolie for the kids. Gossip Cop wonders how long the tabloids can tie themselves into knots trying to prove this before they pull a muscle.

On the cover of this week’s Star, “Angie & Brad’s Dark Secrets Exposed!” the mag also touts, “A shocking new book reveals their fairy tale life is a sick sham that’s about to explode.” But what kind of access to the book did Star really have?
