You know that awkward moment when you make up some absolute tosh about a celebrity to try and sell your magazine? And when it backfires on you in the most spectacular way? Revealing you to be the opportunistic and insensitive gossip-rag that you are?
That moment. It happened today.
RELATED: How Angelina going into instant menopause will change they way the world sees it.
Because today, in case you missed it, was when Angelina Jolie announced to the world that in the last few weeks, she slipped quietly into a US hospital to have radical surgery after a blood test showed her cancer markers worryingly elevated. Ever since being diagnosed with the BRCA gene several years ago that gave her an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, Jolie knew she’d be having this operation to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes – rendering her unable to conceive any more children – some day. But this decision was quickly brought forward after the unexpected results.
In the world where any female celebrity whose stomach isn’t concave is pregnant, this is how New Idea happened to be covering Angelina Jolie this week in the issue currently on sale.
Stay classy New Idea.

US tabloids are much worse. Tabloids have been lying about and smearing this woman for 9 years all because of Brad Pitt. They just will not stop trying to make her look bad. Angelina has enormous respect from me because of all she has put up with and gone through for all these years, the hatred thrown at her by the media and the public, yet she has never had a bad word to say to or about anyone nor has she ever once dignified the attacks on her character with a response. She is a very dignified and classy woman and a wonderful role model for girls and women everywhere. She has my best wishes.
I can't stand these nasty mags any longer! I don't know how they can just claim this crap without having to justify themselves. The fact that the cover stories don't even match the content of the articles screams "false advertising". It's about time they cleaned up their act.
