Is Angelina Jolie pregnant? She looks like she has a baby bump

jolieretna1509_468×626.jpg

Living your life under the Brangelina microscope has got to a challenge, especially if you ever want to keep anything private. Brad and Angie have both been pretty vocal about their desire to have more kids in the near future – which means the rest of us will be on permanent baby bump watch until Angelina pops another one out. Yeah they could mean adoption, but that’s a bit harder to detect while looking at a woman, so we’re going to assume they mean biological child. So with that in mind – I think we might have our first baby bump spotting! We here at Celebitchy pride ourselves on our too-skinny-lady-baby-spotting abilities. We have mad skilz in that department, as Celebitchy was the first to spot Nicole Richie’s bump. We might not be the first to call Angelina pregnant, but we can lend our expertise in the field to the debate: we’re calling her pregnant too. Unless we’re wrong, then we’re calling her bloated.

“As Angelina Jolie enjoys an afternoon boat ride with children Zahara and Maddox in Venice, these pictures reveal the actress could soon be expecting another addition to the ‘Brangelina’ brood. The 32-year-old star has been under recent scrutiny following images revealing an ultra-thin, skeletal figure as she is reported to weigh less than seven stone.

“Jolie attributes the dramatic weight loss to trauma suffered after the death of her mother to ovarian cancer and the birth of baby Shiloh. But from the look of the substantial bump under her figure-hugging dress, Angelina could well be pregnant.”

“‘Brad and I would like to have more kids’ she told the Times in an interview to promote her latest film, A Mighty Heart, in which she plays a pregnant woman, whose journalist husband is kidnapped by Islamic terrorists.

“Use of a Pashmina shawl could be Jolie’s attempt at covering the bump in a bid to keep the news quiet. It wasn’t until the fourth month of her pregnancy with Shiloh that Jolie confirmed the rumours before giving birth in May last year.”

[From the Daily Mail]

The pictures of Angelina wearing the Pashmina were taken in New York City in the last few days, and it hasn’t been very cool – certainly not enough to need a large wrap during the day. I know women don’t generally announce their pregnancies until they’re at least three months along (unless you’re Christina Aguilera and want to keep it a secret until the baby’s 21st birthday for some reason) but with Angelina and Brad constantly mouthing off about wanting more kids, it’s kind of surprising she’d try to hide it if she were pregnant. As the Daily Mail’s article mentions, Angelina didn’t announce her first pregnancy until the fourth month, so we know that, for whatever reason, she likes to keep it private for a while. As we noted two weeks ago, Brad was recently asked by Italian state TV if he and Angelina are ready for another child, and he responded “Yeah we’re ready.” Angelina’s so thing that it’s hard to hid her own bones, let alone a baby. I’m guessing we’ll get an official confirmation in… 4 months. Unless she pulls a Christina Aguilera.

Angelina thinks Brad should be quiet and look pretty


Either Angelina Jolie has a previously undiscovered cutting sense of humor, or she was pissed at Brad last week. “In Touch” is reporting that Jolie said that sometimes Brad should just sit there and “look pretty.” Well he is good at looking pretty, maybe she was just being honest. Jolie’s conversation was overheard while she had a drink with a friend at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York.

“Angelina Jolie gave an uncensored peek into the life she shares with Brad Pitt during a conversation with a friend in New York City. The actress, who was overheard by an In Touch reporter, shared some harsh words about her partner as she sat in Sir Harry’s bar at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel on September 5. “The reality is that we are not a company together. Things should be separate,” she told a male friend as she nursed a glass of red wine. “I think you know that I make my own financial decisions. Brad knows there are times when he should just be quiet and look pretty.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

I have this theory that “In Touch” has reporters with suped up hearing aids strategically placed throughout the city. You can recognize them because they’re constantly falling over and writhing on the sidewalk in pain whenever a car horn blares. Seriously, they do seem to have a lot of reporters who happen to overhear conversations that celebs otherwise wouldn’t share. But, for the sake of argument, let’s say it’s true: Angelina is pretty darn funny.

I used to think Brad Pitt was all brawn and no brain, but he actually doesn’t appear all that dumb in interviews. I’d even go so far as to say he comes off as reasonably intelligent for Hollywood. He has that do-gooder instinct, likes kids, and has a love of modern architecture. Sure it doesn’t make him Socrates (also a well known hottie of his time) but he’s no Britney Spears either. I would presume the guy can handle money well enough, but who knows. We all have our weaknesses - I can’t do anything more complicated than long division. Angelina apparently feels similarly about Brad. But if you can only do one thing, do it well. And Brad does the best job of looking pretty I’ve ever seen.

Worst and Best Dressed List Released


People magazine has released their annual best dressed list, ahead of the best dressed issue of their magazine. Then again, with a stylist in tow it’s easy to gain best dressed kudos, so the worst dressed is probably more interesting! I wish that list was longer.

Best Dressed 2007

Beyoncé Knowles – The Showstopper
Cameron Diaz – The Legs
Katie Holmes – The Classic
Penélope Cruz - The Continental
Jessica Biel – The All-American
Drew Barrymore – The Chameleon

Gwen Stefani – The Trendsetter
Ali Larter – The Newcomer

Best Dressed Men

David Beckham
George Clooney
Johnny Depp
Terrence Howard
Brad Pitt

Best Dressed Couples

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
Gabriel Aubry & Halle Berry
Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale
Tony Parker & Eva Longoria

World’s Worst Dresser

Eva Green

Most Shocking Fashion Moments

Britney Spears shaves her head
Sanjaya Malakar’s faux-hawk
Kidnapped British sailors in oversized Iranian suits
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s cleavage
Naomi Campbell’s dress-up for community service
Paris Hilton’s get-out-of-jail get-up

Just Plain Wrong

Sienna Miller in black tights
Avril Lavigne’s combat boots & pink frilly dress

New York Daily News

Why have best dressed men lists? Even the most stylish man just tends to walk around in either a tuxedo or a t-shirt. There’s not much complicated about men’s dressing, why not have best punk rocker style for say, Pete Wentz? Or Best male use of make up, which would probably also be won by Pete Wentz.

I’m also confused about the criteria: Avril Lavinge’s lace dress and combat boots is a style no-no, but Lily Allen’s signature look is a dress and hi-top sneakers (Lily is mentioned in a British best dressed section of the magazine). Aren’t these just different versions of the same look? And none of the women on the best dressed list are cleavage shy, but it’s not okay for Hilary Clinton to show off her assets?

Brad and Angelina’s tabloid reconciliation


After the tabloids predicted the eminent demise of Brad and Angelina during those last slow weeks at the end of summer when not much else is happening, they have to explain why these two are still happily together despite all the manufactured strife. So Brad and Angelina have had a big makeup in their relationship, with details as usual based on known facts about the couple and little if any insider information.

Brad and Angelina were said to be breaking up because Brad told Maddox to say “excuse me” when he interrupted a guide at the Field Museum, which made Angelina roll her eyes. Now they’re said to be in a second honeymoon phase of their relationship because they went on a date together and gave some quotes to the press about wanting another kid. I bet that not much has changed and that all this is pure speculation:

The setting for the Hollywood power couple’s touching reconciliation was the Bar at the Chicago Penninsula hotel on August 15.

“They were in the back VIP area, talking quietly and stroking each other’s arms,” an eyewitness tells Star. “Angelina was drinking Captain Morgan’s rum and code and Brad was drinking Corona beer. Brad lifted Angelina’s hand and gave it a kiss. When the waitress said ‘last call’ and asked Angie if she wanted another drink, she didn’t even hear her. She was so caught up in Brad - and he was utterly captivated by her.”

“At 2 a.m., when the lights came on, they walked about of the bar hand in hand and headed up to their suite.”

And that marked a new beginning for the pair, after three troubled and stressful years during which they became parents to four children, juggled demanding careers and struggled to cope with Angie’s plunging weight. Things had gotten so bad that during their recent stay in Chicago, where Angie was working on the movie Wanted, they appeared ready to throw in the towel.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 17, 2007]

Note that Star doesn’t say they were about to end it, just “they appeared ready.”

The article goes on to say that they were fighting over Angelina’s relationship with her brother, James Haven, and about disciplining the kids. That stupid incident where Angelina supposedly rolled her eyes at Brad after he told Maddox to say “excuse me” was dragged up again as if it shows they were ready to break up.

Star says Angelina is ready to get pregnant and is trying to eat more, and is even taking prenatal vitamins “she bought at Whole Foods.”

They also say that they’re trying to work on their family, using the examples of all their high-profile outings in NY recently.

To me it just seems like the tabloids have to save face now that all this positive PR is headed Brangelina’s way after their happy recent photos. It could be true that they’re less stressed out now that Angelina isn’t working in Chicago, but that doesn’t mean they were on the verge of a breakup or that it’s this glorious time for their relationship now.

Brad recently got Angelina’s birthday tattooed on his stomach in Khmer, so he’s playing for keeps even if they’re not planning on getting officially married. Angelina has said that the children keep them together, and it doesn’t seem like they’ll be breaking up anytime soon. It’s not like I want them to stay together, because it would be mighty good gossip if they really did break up and the tabloids have been banking on that. Still, you have to think of their young kids so I guess I wish them every happiness, blah blah.

Brad and Angelina are shown at the Toronto film festival this weekend to promote Brad’s film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Angelina looked just a little bit healthier and her hair looked lovely in soft curls. Images thanks to PRPhotos.

Brad Pitt says his body is falling apart

ppf-001997.jpg

Brad Pitt is on the cover of the October issue of “Details” and in it, he talks about the only three things he’s really afraid of: something happening to his kids, something happening to Angelina, and something happening to his relationship with Angelina. Awww. He also had a few great things to say about Paris Hilton, calling her “blissfully oblivious.” Here’s a few excerpts from the interview:

On turning 40:
“I liked it, man. Maybe I had a crisis earlier or something. Maybe I had it in my thirties. You know, it’s…” [PAUSE] “One thing sucks, your face kind of goes. Your body’s not quite working the same. But you earned it. You earned that, things falling apart.

On claims of his humanitarian work as self-consciously pious efforts:
“Oh, I don’t give a shit about that. People have been saying crap about me for 15 years.”

On Paris Hilton’s quest for fame:
“This Paris Hilton quest for fame…she’s blissfully obvious. Oh my god, we’ve been away for…Where were we? We hadn’t seen television for…like a month. I’m probably exaggerating. And we just got back to the United States. And we turned on CNN. And on comes Paris Hilton, going to jail. And so we just turned it off again.”

On his kids:

“Well, I had one kid, then two kids, then three kids. Two-and-a-half years or so. Listen, I’ve always embraced extremes, so it doesn’t feel odd to me. There’s a couple weeks of finding your balance, and then it’s in stone.”

On having an international family:

“You just look at them and go, my daughter’s from Ethiopia, two sons from Asia, a daughter who’s born in Namibia-and they are brother and sister, They have the same dynamics I had growing up, and I…It pleases me so much. I get so warm. I don’t even see in that, anymore, what their lives could have been. I have to intellectually think about that. They are a bond, they are a family. And I want to see those bonds and that family grow. And that right there, sitting in our kitchen, is how I want to see the world. It’s how I want the world to be.”

On having more kids:
“We’re not done.”

On security and paparazzi:
“It’s not going to keep our kids caged in. The only thing that frightens me today is something happening to my kids, or something happening to Angie, or something happening to Angie and I. That happens when they follow you, right. It is the defining annoyance of my life. I just think how strange it is for my kids. Mad, Z, Pax-they really believe that every time you go outside there is a herd of people with cameras snapping flashes in your face [who] are going to kind of block your way when you’re trying to get somewhere. That is their vision of the world outside. Very strange, isn’t it? It’s an everyday thing for them. They don’t really see it as bad or good. Z will point and go, ‘Cameras!’ Pax will point and say ‘People.’ Maddox is keen to where his parents are coming from. I don’t want them to be tensing up, and I don’t want them to see or feel any kind of threat. But man, when [photographers] cross the line, you know-if it happened to one of your kids, it’s hard not to want to take them down.”

[From Us Magazine]

That’s so sweet and fatherly, that he’d want to beat up photographers for his kids. I’m not being sarcastic this time. I wouldn’t blame him or nearly anyone else if the went of on the paparazzi – I can’t imagine what it’d be like to live your life under that kind of scrutiny. Yeah I know they make a ton of money as a result, and they chose that life. But the kids didn’t, and they often look exhausted and/or frightened, as many of our commenters have pointed out. Though at this point, what can you suggest they do about it? Go far away? They do that a lot, and get followed just as much when they’re in Africa as they here. Either way, Pitt looks like he’s holding up pretty well. Brad, your body may be falling apart, but I personally know about 109384837272044 ladies (and men) that’ll gladly be the glue that holds you together.

Brad Pitt confirms he’s ready to add on to the family


The fertile womb/abundant adoption papers that are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be simmering again (do wombs simmer?) – Pitt has publicly confirmed that the pair is ready and looking to add on to their already plentiful brood. This confirms much speculation that the two were looking to adopt another child – though there’s also been speculation that Brad wants another biological baby. Probably not the best idea, considering Angelina appeared to actually lose weight when she was pregnant with Shiloh. But nonetheless, the bounty that is Brangelina will soon be growing, whether through nature or extensive legal documents and financial wranglings.

“Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie are ready for another child, the actor said Sunday as he was promoting his new film. Pitt and Jolie, with children in tow, were in Venice to talk about his film on Western outlaw Jesse James. The movie is competing for the top Golden Lion award at the city’s film festival. Pitt and Jolie already have four children including a 15-month-old girl, Shiloh, born to the couple. Jolie has also adopted three children close in age from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam. Asked by Italian state TV whether they were ready for a fifth, Pitt replied: ‘Yeah we’re ready.’

He did not indicate whether they planned another biological child or if they would adopt. Earlier on Sunday, Pitt told a news conference fatherhood was fun and good for his work, though he’s not getting much sleep. ‘It’s the most fun I’ve ever had and also the biggest pain … I’ve ever experienced,’ he said when asked what it was like to become a family with four children in a short space of time. ‘I love it and can’t recommend it any more highly - although sleep is nonexistent.’ Having four small children ‘makes me much more efficient because when I work, I really have to focus. I know I’ve less time to get things done. Actually, I’m quite pleased by it,’ said Pitt.”

[From the Washington Post]

Brad Pitt admitting that raising four children is the biggest pain he’s ever experienced makes me seriously question whether or not I should ever be a parent. I mean this is a guy who used to date Gwyneth Paltrow – and he’s saying having kids is worse. That makes you think. Seriously though, I admire anyone who publicly admits that being a parent is hard and a big pain sometimes. I think it makes parents everywhere feel a little less guilty that they aren’t in love with the job 100% of the time. And Brad Pitt has 8 nannies on retainer in 98% of the countries around the world. True story. (And by true I mean I randomly picked some numbers and said it was true). My point being that he can afford the best childcare around, and he’s still exhausted. But it must be worth it if he wants to add on – and let’s be honest; Brangelina adding on another kid is not the same thing as you or I popping one out. He probably has a person who’s sole duty is to powder the kids’ butts on the diaper assembly line they must have.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s latest tabloid breakup & medical condition


It sells a lot of tabloids to claim that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking up, and they seem to have broken up in the glossies at least three times this year despite the fact that they’ve only been apart for a few days here and there. This is also one of many times that Angelina has been said to have some medical problem, because it’s easy to speculate that she’s unhealthy based on how thin she is.

This week is no exception, with The Enquirer claiming that Brad and Angelina had a huge fight and that Brad wants to keep the kids once their relationship inevitably ends. The only thing substantive they seem to have to support this is the fact that Brad told Maddox to say “excuse me” when he interrupted the guide at the Chicago Field Museum, which made Angelina give Brad him a dirty look. There was also a supposed screaming match at home between the two, but to me it sounds like only that detail from the museum is true and that the screaming match was fabricated, because the details are more vague:

When the museum guide was showing the family around the exhibits, excited little Maddox… couldn’t help but butt in on the guide’s conversation,” an insider explained.

“Brad scolded Mads and told him that he needs to say: ‘Excuse me, sir,” and ‘Pardon me, sir’ before he jumps in and starts asking questions.

“Brad was trying to teach him some manners, but Angelina was giving Brad dirty looks for scolding Mads.”

[From The National Enquirer print edition, September 3, 2007]

The article goes on to say that it happened again at home the next day where Maddox interrupted them and Brad told him to say “excuse me” which resulted in a screaming match because Angelina didn’t agree on that issue. If these two break up, Brad will want to make sure that he retains custody of the children, The Enquirer claims.

My husband and I disagree about how to discipline our kid all the time, and we’re not going to break up over it. It’s hard to reach a common ground on that issue. Angelina rolling her eyes is hardly enough for a full story, so they have to say they were yelling at home over the same thing. It could be true, but I doubt it.

Meanwhile Star takes it to the next level - death - and says that Angelina is suffering from hepatitis. It seems like speculation from journalists who looked at pictures of how thin she is. Remember when The National Enquirer said back in April on the cover that she was suffering from some “Deadly Disease” and then claimed inside that it was anorexia?

Star says that “friends fear” and “doctors, who have not treated the actress, say.” That sounds to me like they’re making it up and covering their asses.

But now a source tells Star that friends and family of partner Brad Pitt fear that all these symptoms may be pointing to something far more serious than an eating disorder - they’re afraid Angie could be fighting a potentially deadly liver disease!

“Angelina has had a lot of doctor’s appointments - some she’s gone to, some she’s skipped,” a source notes. Meanwhile, adds the insider, Brad has confided to family members that the 32-year-old actress has an illness that isn’t going away, something she “will have to live with… and control with medication.”

Brad, says the source, finally “convinced Angelina to go see a doctor because he was afraid something was very wrong with her. She doesn’t have much of an appetite and is eating very little. Tests were run and Brad’s family were led to believe that her illness might be something like hepatitis, but since then he’s clammed up. I think he knows what’s wrong, but he’s keeping it from people.”

There’s no evidence that Angelina has hepatitis apart from that supposed vague statement Brad gave. They go on to quote doctors who talk about the disease. Angelina is also said to be having mood swings and fighting with Brad a lot.

In verifiable Brangelina news, the two skinny superstars helicoptered to the Hamptons this weekend to host a benefit for Brad’s Make It Right project, which builds environmentally-friendly homes for Katrina victims. I wonder if a caterer witnessed Angelina holding onto a chair for support and if that’s going to turn into another medical scare. Maybe she asked Brad to get her wrap from off her chair and that means she’s ordering him around.

When it comes to these two, I won’t believe it’s true without decent evidence. It could be partially true, but the worse their relationship and the more fragile the state of Angelina’s health, the more tabloids sell.

Angelina is shown in Central Park with Pax and Zahara on Saturday. Brad is shown at a NY park on the upper east side on Sunday with Pax and Zahara. Maddox was also there. Thanks to Splash News for these photos. The Enquirer and Star covers are our own scans.

Aishwarya Rai Not Pregnant


Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan says his wife, 1994 Miss Universe Aishwarya Rai, comes first. When I read this headline I actually thought it was referring to their sex life, and given how much trouble Richard Gere is in for kissing Shilpa Shetty, wondered if India was getting very relaxed very quickly. Turns out he meant in a much more supportive, less spicy manner.

“You always give things first to the wife, and then you have,” the actor, son of Amitabh Bachchan, said, adding that this was how marriages worked among Indians.

He also added that Aishwarya isn’t pregnant.

“That’s incorrect … there’s no such good news. When there is, I will tell you,” he said, on the sidelines of an endorsement event late on Thursday.

New Zealand Herald

This very attractive couple are being called India’s Brangelina, except I’m kinda tired of Brad and Ange. Maybe because they’re a Bollywood power couple (they don’t like the derogatory term Bollywood), but neither Abhishek or Aishwarya have divorces, knives, adoptions, lesbian affairs or any of that juicy gear in their history. Actually, maybe Bollywood’s power couple have nothing in common with Brangelina at all?

Note by Celebitchy: Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan announced their “Unforgettable” tour in a press conference in Toronto on July 7th. The Unforgettable tour will feature Bollywood films and will tour 18 different countries. It is expected to premiere in Toronto next summer. Bachchan said “If all goes well, and God willing, we will premiere the Unforgettable Tour in the city of Toronto because we feel that it is the best city to premiere the tour in.” Thanks to Right Celebrity for the news, and WENN for the header picture.

Brad & Angelina to host Hurricane Katrina benefit in the Hamptons

87854628wm.jpg

Brangelina’s kindness and charity knows no bounds. It’s sickening, really. In that “I wish I was as good as you” way. The pair will host a fancy Hamptons soirée this weekend to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims and benefit Brad’s “Make it Right” project that he’s been working on in New Orleans. The cocktails and dinner will take place at the home of Jane Rosenthal, who Jolie met while working on “The Good Shepherd.” Apparently the pair will be choppered into the event, and won’t even stay for the weekend – one has to wonder how environmentally friendly that is, considering how Brad is all about the green building and the anti-global warming. Bur it’s probably better than taking a private, nearly empty jet.

“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are showing their humanitarian side yet again. This time the pair are hosting a charity dinner on Saturday night in the Hamptons for the victims of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy. A source at Usmagazine.com says that the guests who attend are expected to make an extremely large financial commitment to the project.

“The venue for the swanky dinner will be in the home of producer Jane Rosenthal, with whom Jolie worked with on her movie The Good Shepherd. Brangelina are said to be traveling to the party by helicopter, and jetting out via flying means as well. They are not expected to stay for the whole weekend.

“The invitation they sent reads:
‘Nearly two years after Hurricane Katrina, residents of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans are still struggling to rebuild. Brad Pitt started the ‘Make it Right’ project after he visited the devastated area. He hopes to preserve the unique culture and spirit of the Ninth Ward by rebuilding a neighborhood inspired by safe and sustainable “green” homes in one of the hardest hit communities in Louisiana.’

“Brad appeared on the Today show to talk with Ann Curry about his involvement in an environmentally friendly project to rebuild houses in the demolished New Orleans.”

[From Entertainmentwise.com]

Brad Pitt makes me feel so guilty. I don’t rebuild homes or host charity events at swanky mansions. I don’t adopt kids from around the world, nor do I have a chiseled jaw. I’m not all that upset about the last one since I’m a girl, but still. I’ll never compare. Seriously, I think it’s awesome that Brad and Angelina have consistently chosen to use their celebrity to draw attention to important causes. Katrina rebuilding is really important but hasn’t got a lot of press lately –they joke about the average news viewer’s attention span being so short, and it is true – nearly two years later most of New Orleans rebuilding still needs to get started, but we haven’t heard much about it. Hopefully he’ll continue to bring attention to it.

Brad, Angelina and their kids go to museum; latest Angelina quotes seem fake


Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their four children were seen going to the Field Museum in Chicago, IL on Saturday, where Angelina will be filming scenes for her new thriller Wanted for about two weeks. Angelina was seen carrying her 14 month-old daughter, Shiloh, while Brad carried two and a half year-old Zahara and held three and a half year-old Pax’s hand. Maddox, who just turned six, pushed Shiloh’s stroller. (I just wanted to remember how old they all are. You guys probably know already, but as a mom these numbers mean something to me.) I love how Zahara gives a grimace smile to the paparazzi. She’s over them already. Pax looks more comfortable out with his family.

The latest totally fabricated Angelina and Brad news focuses on either fake or poorly translated “quotes” that originated in some French magazine that you’ve never heard of that Angelina probably didn’t talk to. She has a history of TMI, but she doesn’t seem to be this forthright any more, and I doubt she said this:

“I have never hidden my bisexuality,” she told France’s Public magazine.

“But since I’ve been with Brad, I abandoned women. Now there is no room for that or S&M in my life.”

[News.com.au]

After this fake news was reported, everyone dragged out those old quotes by blabbermouth Jenny Shimizu, who turned her brief affair with Angelina into tabloid gold after she lost her modeling career once her look went out of style in the 90s. They’re saying that Shimizu claims that Angelina is not going to be happy with one man, but those quotes are well over a year old.

I wonder if Shimizu gets royalties for every time her tired old story gets repeated. She sure told it often enough, and now the rags are doing the job of perpetuating it for her.

If you’re French and/or understand French and have actually seen this magazine, please comment with your thoughts. From the looks of the magazine covers I’ve seen online, it’s not People and I would suspect these quotes are false. Here’s the website for Public Magazine. I couldn’t find the exact article that everyone is referencing.

Thanks to Splash News for these pics.
