In Touch Goes For It In Announcing Kate Middleton Is Pregnant


In Touch really went for the sales this week. It must be bonus time for someone. The thing is if they are wrong about Kate Middleton being pregnant, who will care or remember. If they are right then they will brag about it for years. It is a win/win. It is kind of like a Jennifer Aniston pregnant story but multiplied. I don't think they can get away with Kate being pregnant as much as Jennifer is. According to the magazine, Kate is about six weeks pregnant. See, here is the thing. You know it is a guess they are making. If Kate is pregnant she has probably told two or three people if she is six weeks. Do you think those two or three people are blabbing to In Touch? An American magazine they probably have never heard of? If you live in Los Angeles and try hard enough you can get gossip about anyone here, but when only one or two people know to begin with? Not going to happen or you can't do anything with it because the person who the story is about will know it is one or two people who sold them out. Plus, even though she has only known she is pregnant for two weeks she already has a baby name picked out, planned for three nurseries and has cravings? Come on.


Great sales idea and I hope it works out for In Touch, but if it does not they can do it again in about two months.

  1. I doubt she's actually pregnant, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying. Seeing as though they were together for so long before they got married, if it were me (in her situation), I would have waited to get married until I was ready to have a royal baby - since they had to know that once they tied the knot, there would be massive amounts of pressure to produce an heir.

  2. I could care less.....but I do want to know how Angie-Jo "ruined" Thanksgiving. Those are the headlines that really crack me up!

  3. Nice picture of her had on tummy, an absolute confirmation of a baby, LOL. How old is that pic, summer or earlier?

  4. I prefer Kris Humprhies calling Kim K garbage.

    Kate is too skinny to get pregnant now.

  5. Bad photoshopping. See how weird the waving arm looks next to the head?

  6. Love it BigMama - that is exactly what I came on here to write, too!! What did that crazy-'ole Angie Jo do to ruin Thanksgiving this year?

    Love those ridiculous headlines!! It makes me want to leave my office and get a trashy magazine and a pedicure... I hate noon meetings...

  7. @KLM I want to say that she has been accused of ruining Thanksgiving in the past by not taking her entire family to visit Brad's.....or maybe she just bought out the entire turkey supply and sent it to some 3rd world country.

  8. In that (albeit tiny) photo, AJ looks very much like Shiloh!

  10. I think she is.
    It would be a first for this mag to guess it right though!

  11. I agree with Paris, I'd be surprised if she got pregnant. She has no body fat.

  12. Her hand looks Photoshopped. Don't people usually refrain from telling people they are preg til they are 3mo along? This is so stupid. Along with that damn Thanksgiving ruiner, AJ!

  13. I want to know if Angie ruined Thanksgiving by screaming at everyone who has a drink with dinner, the way my mother-in-law does. "Stars: They're just like us!"

  14. Gah. I detest pregnancy speculation stories. And if she is six weeks pregnant, it's her business. She'll tell you when she wants you to freakin know.

    It took me over three years to get knocked up, and well, the questions and speculation in my family and small town was enough to drive me bonkers (aka paranoid/annoyed/frustrated/eager to hit the bottle), so I can't imagine what's it like for celebrities.

  15. Correction: what it's like. I've been up since 6:30 with a teething 1-year-old. Can you tell? Hee.

  16. What the fuck is a push present? Is that for pushing out a baby? Who comes up with this shit? This is how I know I am getting old!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. The pic looks very weird lol

  18. @skeeball - it is indeed a present for pushing out a baby. I tried to convince my husband I needed to get them for my two giant babies but he said since the were C-Section babies it didn't count. (he was laughing when he said it an holding a pint of Ben and Jerry's so I forgave him)

  19. Funny, I thought "present" you get for all the pushing is, y'know, a cute little baby...?

    ReplyDelete
  20. @Skeeball - it's the diamond industry's newest marketing thing. First thing they pushed is how much $ should be spent on an engagement ring.

    Do you remember the "Right Hand Ring" a couple of years ago? There were a ton of ads in women focused magazines about how your right hand diamond ring was for yourself and independence or some shit. I don't think it ever got traction.

    Push present is the latest to stick. Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

  21. I agree that the "present" is a baby....and a wonderful one it is. However, I still vote for Ben and Jerry's coming up with a Delivery flavor....maybe something like Almond Chocolate Rum Push. A chocolate flavored ice cream with Fudge covered almonds and a Rum swirl. hmmmmmmmm, I think I need to write those guys.

  22. Stories like this bug me, but I actually do think she's pregnant. She's had her hand on her belly in a few pictures lately. One can't help it when you know you're pregnant!

  23. @Feisty - "Your left hand lives for love. Your right hand lives for the moment." :)

    Haha, I found out about push presents from reading STFU, Parents.

  24. LOL @ BigMama, I'll take a few scoops of that!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, and finally getting my kids out of my uterus was a good enough present for me. I was not one of those women who liked being pregnant.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Who buys this magazine? Why do they buy it? Maybe Pat Robertson is wrong, we don't get earthquakes and hurricanes because of the feminists, pagans, and homosexuals, we get them because of InTouch, Star, and the National Enquirer. Stop giving them money America!!!!!

  27. A lot of expectant mothers actually lose weight in the first trimester; they look gaunt, skinny and tired.

    She's a royal in the public eye, so I will speculate: hope she's preggers for real!

    ReplyDelete
  28. @Feisty~thanks for the info and I do remember that right handed diamond thing. It figures this is who came up with push present. OMG, what bullshit!

    ReplyDelete
  29. ugh, i knew it was only a matter of time...

    ReplyDelete
