Angelina Jolie still hasn’t given birth
I waffled back and forth about whether to post this because it’s so incredibly intrusive, but I figured I’ll write about it and let you decide whether to go see the pictures or not.
Angelina Jolie is most definitely still pregnant and there is photographic proof. After the whole ET debacle, many people were saying that Angie should “prove” that she hadn’t given birth yet by going out in public and letting herself be seen. As though she owes us photos to demonstrate that she’s still pregnant. I couldn’t believe the sense of entitlement so many people in the media had, as though she’s a piece of property to parade around.
Anyway, Angelina had said she planned to lay low after Cannes and she has kept her word to herself, enjoying private time with her family in the chateau in France. And while we all miss seeing her and the kids out and about, it’s a good thing for her to just be relaxing with her family in these last weeks before the twins arrive.
However, I guess some people are just desperate since In Touch magazine has now published photos of Angelina Jolie and her very pregnant belly with Zahara and Shiloh as they played outside on the weekend.
The whole purpose of renting this particular home was because of the incredible privacy and the only photos we were ever able to see were aerial shots. Clearly some paparazzi agency rented a freakin’ helicopter to take photos of Angelina Jolie on her own private property.
I’m really frustrated by this. Yes, it’s nice to see photos of any of the Jolie-Pitt family but I don’t like or condone being disrespectful at this level. It’s one thing to take their pictures out on the street. If Angie had strolled down to the front gates to wave at all the cameras, that would be fine. But she was inside the property and photographed from above. There’s something very disturbing about that.
I know celebrities are in the limelight but surely there’s a line where things go too far. Can you imagine not even being able to be in your own yard without worrying about cameras?
Anyway. Nothing can be done about it at this point. So Angelina is still very pregnant. I just would have preferred to believe that on my own without intrusive photos to prove a point.
What do you think? Let’s discuss this invasion of privacy!

it is indeed an invasion of privacy but i have to admit that i’m enjoying seeing it, maybe because it’s been a long while since we have seen them out and about and we are curious and intrigue of what’s the real deal (if angie gave birth). but still i think that media should respect their decision in wanting to have privacy and just wait till the baby comes out (i’m sure they’re going to announce it anyway) but we know how papz and media are eager to do just about anything just to get a snapshot of any of the family members because they know it’ll sell like hotcakes. this is just so wrong.

Poor thing looks Huge. IS it the picture quality or do her arms and legs look like something is wrong. I hope not. Hope all is well with her and the babies. I love her and Brad together.

I agree with you Sherry…and I feel slightly guilty for posting them on my site as well. The only reason I wanted to was basically to assure all the fans that she and the twins (and the girls) are all doing well. YES, I think it was a flagrant invasion of their privacy to take those pictures, but to me, ignoring that they exist is kind of like pretending that Christmas doesn’t exist either. I’m glad you brought this topic up though!

oh well for all we know maybe she did it on purpose. They can’t be the only ones renting helicopters and this is the first pic’s we have seen. There are smarter people then in touch photographers, there must have been other tries at this. AJ is a smart person, and knows it might have gotten worse with people trying to get pics if she didn’t let them get at least one. This way the heat is off for a little bit and maybe things will now calm down at the gates.

Personally, I don’t think that Brad and Angelina owe us or anyone else proof that she has or has not given birth. It is their business, not ours. Not to be rude, but who cares what a bunch of “crazy bloggers” (not here of course) thinks. ET had long lost its credibility about this, and it never gained traction in the mainstream media, so why do anything. It would only make them seem silly and sneaky and play into all those people who think they do everything for a purpose or for selfish reasons.
I too get frustrated with all of this nonesense. They deserve privacy and we as fans should not “whine” about missing them. Again, not to be rude, but I see it so often. They have given us a great deal of pleasure when they are in public and we should be happy with those times. This is their private time, let them enjoy it.
So, I agree with you and thank you for not posting them. Thank you.

To kim- So, you expect Angelina to just lay cooked up inside of her home and never venture out? No, that’s ridiculous. She was on her own private property and as far as I’m concerned that is a major invasion of privacy. Sure, the paps could use helicopters but they could do that anywhere the Jolie-Pitts were staying. And you expect Angelina just to stay cooked up inside her house the whole time. Now, I’ll give you that Angelina could’ve seen the paps before they came out. But it could’ve just have easily been that Angie was the first one out and then the paps came. But either way it’s still a major invasion of privacy and something no respectful magazine should condone.

This is an invasion of privacy although i don’t think Angelina or Brad will be too suprised about these pictures. I think they probably hear helicopters flying over their house several times a day! @ Mary..i don’t think there is too much of a problem with us saying we miss seeing the family. I wouldn’t perceive it as “whining” just a fact and expressing my feelings. Just because i write “I miss seeing Angelina so much” doesn’t mean i condone these intrusive pictures you know? There are some fans out there that probably wouldn’t mind these pictures but as much as i love and miss seeing Angelina doesn’t mean i love these pictures or think they are right. Even if we didn’t “whine” about not seeing them their pictures would still be taken no doubt. I’m glad her and her beautiful daughters are in good health nonetheless. I’m kind of hoping we don’t see anymore of Angelina until after the birth now though. Unless of course, it’s by her will. Thanks for the updates, Sherry.

Angelina is beautiful inside out. She has done a lot to help people. I pray God’s blessings upon her for all the good she has done to help people. I pray that she comes to know God and that He would give her spiritual beauty to go along with her physical beauty. I love Angie! Keep sharing and giving from your heart. If you haven’t already do marry Brad. You two have done great things together.

I agree - flagrant violation of privacy. There should be laws against it. IMO, celebrities & other famous people didn’t sign away their right to privacy just because of the profession they chose. OK @ premieres, filmfests & other public occasions, maybe shopping by themselves, gas station, conferences/conventions etc. Not OK if they’re with family, having a meal, on or intruding into (including airspace) any private property - their’s or someone else’s, etc.
I don’t think In Touch has their own photographers. One of the big paparazzi agencies probably took the pics & sold it to the rag.

Good to see Angie and the kids doing well. I liked the barefoot ladies but even if she had given birth it was her and her famiies business. The gall of peopel getting annoyed if a star dares lies about their own blasted life when in reality no one tells everyone everything even normal people…I am sick of the media thinking that stars owe them and us something. The relationship with Star and media is meant to be a symbiotic one. At present the media is like parasites trying to suck the life completely out of the relationship and make it terrible. We are in a generation of me me me, I want I want I want and the way media is rewarded for stalking by people buying the magazines and people being paid for inappropriate stalking behaviour makes me see red…

I agree and I will not give that sick magazine a “hit” for their sponsers to see this picture. Kate Hudson was on Rachel Ray yesterday and said the paps really annoy her son Ryder. This has gone way to far now–prove you’re still pregnant? My goodness, this has now officially jumped the shark. Poor Angie and those poor babies. I guess they will have to buy an island and have missle launchers to ever have a normal life.

“While her official due date is in August, insiders tell In Touch that she will deliver around July 15. ”
You know, this is starting to bug me more and more - the due date *was* slipped, and nobody seems to remember that there are TWO LIVES at stake if she delivers a couple months early. If she had already delivered, the babies would be in the NICU.
But I guess somehow the entitlement & gossip-hungry forget that her kids are people too.
And I agree with everything you said - I actually felt relief that she appeared still pregnant and healthy. Now let’s all go back to leaving her alone so the babies can bake longer and be as healthy as possible when they come out.
(man, I bet her tattoo is stretched to all get out)

I’m glad she is still pregnant; the longer, the better for the babies; i don’t think anyone should feel guilty for posting pics of her; it’s not like you were in her face snapping the cameras; we’re just fortunate to be able to see the stars that we hold dear to us; it may be instrusive to a degree, but it’s nothing to feel guilty over.

It’s true the tabloids intrude too much to the Jolie-Pitt’s privacy, I myself is guilty too for some reason wanting to see their pictures all the time. I’m happy that finally, we see Angie that proves she is still very much pregnant, this will put the gossips ET started to rest once & for all. Angie’s legs are swollen, very normal to pregnant women, I was pregnant & I had swollen legs & feet it happens when you are very closed to your due date.
Later tonight, my hubby & I are going to see ‘Wanted”, I’m so excited.
Have a nice day & enjoy the rest of the day.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

It is definitely an invasion of privacy…but until there are laws to protect celebrities, then it will continue to be a problem…
A couple of weeks ago 20/20 (I believe it was 20/20) interviewed Sarah Jessica Parker and Salma Hayek and they discussed this very issue…
Salma revealed some of her own experiences with the papz: she actually had a man almost cause her baby to be dropped on the ground…and she said he actually pushed the nanny on purpose…she’s also been hit on the head by cameras, fell when she was pregnant because of the amount of people pushing and had them scream her daughter’s name…
It was an interesting interview because someone posed that question: is this the price for fame? Salma’s response was very true- she in turn asked: who determines what the price of fame is? And she further said that while she can handle the media because she is an adult, her child, on the other hand, is innocent in this whole crazy scheme. Children do not ask to be brought into the media spotlight and out of humanity alone, papz should know better.
SJP said that her son has actually associated cameras with something negative. All of his class pictures have him hiding his face. She found that to be really sad for him because he is missing out on something special. She also said that her mornings with her son are the most special because that’s when she walks him to school and he can talk openly to her, but if cameras are around, it makes him nervous and it ruins the morning for them.
It is a very serious problem- not just for Brad and Angelina, but for all celebs who have children and have their privacy invaded.
Laws should be enacted before someone gets seriously injured as a result of the papz…there is little humanity in getting pics for some papz and this should not be tolerated and allowed…
For the safety of the celebs and children, I could live without seeing photos of them all together…I would prefer these kids to have as normal of an upbringing as possible without cameras flashing all the time…if me getting my guilty pleasure from seeing photos of the kids puts them at risk, then I could easily walk away and say leave them alone!! After all, they are only children and they deserve to be let alone and enjoy life without being frightened or scared of a camera or voices screaming!

I agree with all of the comments above. If they are at home, on their property, they should be left alone. I believe that when we hear that Brad and Angie’s family are in France we will know that the twins will be born soon. The longer she is carrying them the healther they will be, and I believe that is what all of us here want.

Jun 27, 2008 at 12:12 pm
why should they tell us about the birth? its their privacy, its their lives. its actually nothing of our business. i was so happy for them having the time to relax without the press on their heels.
its a shame to see how some people are so obsessed that they lose respect of others privacy on such a level.

Then why did you even post the link to these photos? I find your comments disingenuous. Actions speak louder than words.

cc - I never said I felt guilty. I didn’t take the photos, why would I personally feel guilty about them?
Robin - I linked to the photos, yes. I didn’t post them. I didn’t purchase the right to use them, I didn’t take them, and I don’t purchase the magazine. I can be frustrated by an invasion of privacy and still link out to a site that has the photos for people who may not have seen them so they can take part in a discussion. Linking to sites is a big part of the internet. If that’s what you call disingenuous then I really don’t know what to tell you.

Jeez, are they really from inside her private property? I was not aware of that. It seemed to me like they had taken it of them in front of there front door. They can sue, right?
I remember when the x went to court with Brad and won because of some topless pics that were taken in there private property. Anyways I hope they do because this is really to much, I can only imagine how violated she most feel.

I am writing here to admit something. Despite my maturity and intelligence, I have found myself quite the fan of brangelina and their brood. I LOVE the stories & fotos about them.
On top of surprising myself by my keen interest in the growing family, I have a history of strong distaste for that “lack of privacy” issue. (I’ve always said I would HATE to be famous and loose my anonymity).
So here I am on the other side of the fence: wishing, waiting, hoping for more fotos — on their private property or not — of the jolie-pitts. I am really into seeing a still pregnant Angelina after all the mystery around the birth of the twins.
That makes me an accessory to the invasion of privacy. This is a conflict that now resides in me and I am interested in the larger implications.
Lara
Jun 28, 2008 at 6:44 pm
I never believed ET’s story anyway and I was very angry when I read something like “maybe angelina should show herself in public in order to put the rumours to rest”. Why SHOULD she do that? Does she has a duty to us, the public, to keep us informed of everything in her life? Is she the queen of england or the president of a state and has duties to her people? And even if it were, in my opinion, no matter the social status of a person, private life is private life. After all, that’s why it’s called “private”! And if she doesn’t announce the birth, so what? It’s nobody’s bussiness but her own and her family’s. Just because she is a public person (and I’ve noticed that it is a custom among cellebrities to anounce these kind of events) doesn’t mean that she has to share her life with the public. If she wants to do it she will do it because she knows that, apart from all the haters, there are people out there who care deeply about her and want to know that she is well and the babies are well.
Regarding the paps, a few days ago I was talking to some friends about this and I told them that if I had the power to decide I would forbid this job and with the greatest pleasure. Not that I want to contribute to the unemployment rate :P but they simply are worms, animals (and for me lady dy is the most vivd example, but this is another subject). Strict laws and interdictions won’t work. After all, they can reorientate to any other type of journalism:))
I don’t know if the photos were arranged or not, glad to see angie is ok and if I were her I would stay in that chateau until the babies are one year old and then go out to shopping with them:))))) this would be the greatest humilliation for the paps and I think that they would quit their jobs from their own initiative.
Good night.

I didn’t say anything about all the sarcastic comments you made towards me. All I said, was that she could have seen the helicopter and decided all on her own it was a good chance to show the world she was still preggo. Don’t get your knickers tied in a knot, people have different opinions, and if you go back a read the many interviews AJ has given she is very open and upfront, and she knows how the game is played and what is expected of her. Even if she thinks it is ridiculous.
Laura
Jun 30, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Yes, she and Brad are very open about their views of the paps. They openly state that they don’t mind them following them. They just don’t want them hounding the kids. So, Angelina should stay inside her house. Let’s just give you that for the sake of reason. Then, what about her kids? Should they stay inside and never come out out of fear of helicopters? How is that right when these kids did nothing to deserve that? They have no control over who their parents are. The media is definitely a game. And Angie, Brad, and pretty much all of Hollywood play along. But I find it hard to believe that Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh even know or play along with the Hollywood Media Game.

Has anyone heard that a UK magazine called Closer has posted that Angie gave birth to the twins today. It’s not a magazine from here, actually if you go to their website, the news is written in French but it’s on Dlisted then you click on Closer. Don’t know how true it is, but we’ll soon find out, I just want to know the sexes.
