ANGELINA JOLIE - E.T. LIKELY TO REPORT JOLIE BIRTHS TWICE IN A MONTH

One month after reporting exclusively that Angelina Jolie had given birth to twins, Entertainment Tonight has yet to acknowledge that it was the victim of a hoax by a person posing as the actress's assistant, the New York Times observed today. The newspaper, citing no sources, said that at one point the show's producers considered addressing the matter on the air but decided not to. "The story became a black eye for ET ," the Times observed. Since the original report aired, it said, ET has been avoiding any mention of Jolie but on Tuesday did note that she had checked into a maternity clinic in France without mentioning the earlier report that she had already given birth.
