HOLD the front page - a pregnant woman is stressed. You know that it's a quiet week when the glossies have no option but to revert to that old chestnut, Angelina Jolie's baby bump.

It's not new, and the twins it is rumoured to house are showing no signs of checking out any time soon, but there are covers to fill and magazines to sell, so who better to splash with than Hollywood's most prolific kiddy-collector since Mia Farrow.

Famous reports Brangelina are shelling out $20,000 a month to lease a secluded ranch in Texas, which they are turning into a high-security fortress as the birth approaches. While babydaddy Brad Pitt works nearby on a new movie, Ange "may be suffering heartburn", an obstetrician reveals. NW has found a way to rehash the serial adoptress's murky past, saying she is plagued by concerns her sproglets may grow up to be addicted to drugs or sex. In other words, they should fit right in in La La Land.

"She's terrified of what DNA she's going to pass on to her babies," a source said. Even if they are head cases, at least the little mites are unlikely to be forced to wade in the shallow end of the beauty gene pool.

From ladypilot to man eater, Jennifer Aniston has assumed the mantle of a suicide risk with really good hair. She is pictured strolling on a beach reading a script with her Marley & Me co- star, Owen Wilson. Famous reports that pals of Wilson, who last year apparently tried to kill himself, fear he's not in the right place emotionally for a new romance, "not least with a woman with Jen's romantic history".

Why has the former Friends star been labelled a relationship no-go zone? Has she stalked her man-prey or forced them to colour co-ordinate outfits at awards nights? No, nothing so heinous. Turns out she just managed to accumulate a couple of exes by the time she hit 39, thereby ruling her out of girlfriend material contention.

This week's Who springs to her defence with an Elephant Man-inspired cover proclaiming: "I am not a victim". She may not be, but one rumoured beau, the Sex And The City actor Jason Lewis, deserves our sympathy. "Jason was trying to look hot but he had a major spray-tan going on," an observer remarked.Meanwhile, there is trouble in TomKat paradise, with photos of Scientology's favourite gnome embracing a mystery brunette. Woman's Day sees NW's brunette and raises it a blonde, showing Tom Cruise kissing a second woman behind a bush. The bigger mystery is that he looks taller than both women. A trick of the lens perhaps.
