Thanks to Jack Black, who has no interest in playing coy to spite Us Weekly and TMZ, Angelina Jolie has finally confirmed that she is indeed pregnant with twins.
In an interview to air on Access Hollywood tonight, Jack, who is promoting the new movie Kung Fu Panda at the Cannes Film Festival with Angie, inadvertently let the news slip; that, in turn, forced her to admit what the tabloids told everyone from the start of her pregnancy. Don't underestimate the powers of the tabs, Ang. They are creepier than one might expect.

DON'T GET OUR HOPES UP Just weeks after Grey’s Anatomy returned with new episodes, sources are saying Katherine Heigl is itching to hang up her scrubs. 'She's working really long hours and is ready to move on,' a source close to the actress told Us Weekly."
THIS WON'T LAST MORE THAN AN HOUR "British singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested and is being questioned at a police station in east London about alleged drug use, her rep tells Usmagazine.com."
Why the media has it out for Jennifer Aniston, we will never understand — but this week the assault continues as Jen is painted as the desperate clinger in her romance with John Mayer. To make matters worse, a "friend" of Aniston's is giving quotes to the press about the fairytale romance:
She's really into John, and the nine year age difference doesn't bother her for a second. Jen's already telling friends she's falling in love with this guy.
Jen's really hoping he can spend more time in Miami with her. She just wants to see a lot more of him. This was definitely not a one-off thing as far as she's concerned.
She's already falling in love? Yeesh. Good luck with that pathetic hag, John. It's a wonder Brat Pitt made it out alive.

In the winner's corner: Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer dominated the tabloids this week, with most publications declaring them the hot new couple. There's not much to be negative about, except for the fact that any relationship involving Jen is doomed to fail.
In the loser's corner: Jessica and Ashlee Simpson are competing to see who can make it to the altar first, because isn't that what romance is all about? We can't decide who's the bigger loser in this situation — the Simpsons or their poor significant others.
Also this week: Britney continues to get her act together, Lindsay gets mixed reviews and Angelina is possibly getting married. But don't hold your breath. CONTINUED »
We're switching things up a bit this week: Instead of simply summing up the tabloids, we're presenting the week's winners and losers in the eyes of the magazines. Which publications favor which celebrities? And does the relationship change from week to week?
This time around, Britney seems to have won back the love of the tabs, because not a single bad story was written about her. The mags are split on Lindsay — some say she's in a happy and stable lesbian relationship; others declare that she is off the wagon (again).
And congrats are in order to the biggest loser of the week, Jessica Simpson, who is apparently pathetic and in danger of losing boyfriend Tony Romo. When even the tabloids are pitying you, you know there's a problem. CONTINUED »
Gee, who could it be?
Which weekly glossy just signed a mega-million-dollar contract with a certain annoying celebrity couple? The deal is the magazine will get exclusive interviews with the couple, but in turn they need to break up (again), get back together (again) and actually get married.
GOOD NEWS, LADIES "Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer have split. … A source close to the couple tells Us that 'Kanye is possessed by the tour and everything going on and just couldn't keep it going.'"
Another slow week in Hollywood has resulted in covers featuring the tabloids' dependable standbys: Britney, Angelina and the Cruise family. Mariah also joins the list of covergirls to flaunt her "new" body — which she has had off and on for her entire life.
There's also the coverage of the Ashlee Simpson maybe-pregnancy, but big sister Jessica gets most of the attention. She must have pissed off all the magazine editors this week, because she is called out for not only being jealous of her sister's happiness but also for drinking heavily. Yikes.
Also this week: Paris wants to get married, Miley Cyrus wants to become an author and Heidi Montag wants butt implants. We're keeping our fingers crossed none of that works out. CONTINUED »
ASHLEE BEATS JESSICA IN THE BABY RACE "Ashlee Simpson is pregnant, Usmagazine.com has confirmed. The singer, 23, is expecting her first child with fiance Pete Wentz, 28."
Despite all the media hoopla surrounding Beyonce and Jay-Z's wedding last Friday, the couple only appeared on the cover of one tabloid (Us Weekly). Naturally, the celebrity media are being labeled as "racist" because some assume "African-Americans don't sell covers."
Except Janet Jackson was on the cover of two of Us' best-selling issues. That kind of nips the whole controversy in the bud, no?
Here's why B and Jay only landed on one cover: Because there was nothing to report that celebrity blogs hadn't already covered. It was old news, and the couple remained so tight-lipped about the entire event that the mags had better things to investigate, like whether Britney is suffering a relapse.
Case closed.
Judging from this week's tabloid covers, it was an uneventful week in Hollywood, besides the fact that Jay-Z and Beyonce got married in an anticlimactic top secret ceremony. Luckily, for all five of you who care, Us Weekly has the mundane details.
Britney only made one cover this week, which must mean her road to recovery has been going smoothly over the last seven days. But not so fast! In Touch swears the trainwreck is having a relapse, complete with bloody scalps and bald spots. Yum.
Also this week: Us finds yet another angle to the presidential race, some stars lost baby weight and Kim Kardashian continues to whore out her "exclusives" for the spotlight. CONTINUED »
In case you haven't heard, there is a war going on, and it's not in Iraq — it's waging between Perez Hilton and John Mayer. Perez accused John in this week's Life & Style and In Touch of making out with him in 2006. Yeah, he's just now bringing this up. Perez says he decided to spill the beans now because John has been saying mean things about him on his blog — which would normally serve as reason to be upset, except it's Perez Hilton.
John retaliated in an XM radio interview by correctly pointing out that Perez doesn't actually hate celebrities — he wants to be one. It's pretty obvious John isn't that bothered by Perez, and that should have been the end of the saga.
Except it's not. Now Us Weekly is promising a video showing Perez taking a lie detector test with an examiner from the worst television show in the world, Moment of Truth. Nobody really cares at this point whether or not it's true; the entertainment comes from watching Perez desperately try to stay in the limelight.
The tabloids had a good variety of stories this week, with one Angelina and three Britney covers. Life & Style was the only magazine to get desperate with the typical "celebrities starve themselves to get skinny" cover story. Trailblazers, those L&S staffers.
There is, as usual, a plethora of Spears stories covering Brit's mental illness and recent weight loss. OK! proclaims that she's back to her old body, and judging by the cover, she is — because it's an old photograph from 2003.
Also this week: Lindsay realizes she looks old, Perez Hilton needs attention and Jason Wahler stars in yet another reality show. Count us out. CONTINUED »
Britney Spears' successful TV guest appearance earned her a feature in all five tabs this week, and only Star made up a scandalous story to sell more magazines. Congrats, Brit — we missed you.
You know who else is a tabloid winner this week? Brit's ex, Kevin Federline. The father of the year shows up in practically every mag this week due to his 30th birthday disaster and a special "Look, I'm a good guy!" exclusive.
Also this week: Heidi continues her Us Weekly "exclusive" reign, Katie' eating disorder finally catches up to her and OK! tries to be like Life & Style. Don't ask us why. CONTINUED »
