InTouch Weekly is spreading the rumor
that Angelina Jolie cheated on Brad Pitt with a dialect coach she was
working with on a new film. A former housekeeper of a New York hotel tells the tabloid that she visited the room many times and one morning discovered a room that appeared to have been a love nest the night before. "The room was a disaster," she explains. "There was water all over the
bathroom and empty vodka bottles everywhere. Every towel had been used.
And over five dozen cattleya orchids were scattered around the room,
and there were the tops of the flowers in the tub, with candles." The bedroom was even more of an eye opener.
The InTouch report doesn't name names, but one man -- Howard Samuelsohn -- tells E! News, however, that those reports couldn't be further than the truth. Samuelsohn says that he was contacted by InTouch and asked about the nature of their relationship. "I said, 'Yes, I know her professionally. She's very nice.'...And then I immediately became the guy who slept with Angelina Jolie." Samuelsohn said that he worked with a Polish actor on his English for the movie "Salt," and that he did not spend any time with Jolie, whose character speaks Russian in the film.

Let the Super Bowl commercial controversy begin. College football star Tim Tebow appears in an anti-abortion commercial with his mother in a proposed Super Bowl ad from the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family. Tebow's mother was a missionary in the Philippines when she became sick while pregnant with the former Heisman Trophy winner. When she was advised to have an abortion, she refused, and the rest is college football history. The NFL and television networks, however, usually reject commercials "where 'substantial elements of the community [are] in opposition to one another."
