The paparazzi detail on the Brangelina BabyWatch beat just got some bad news.

Contradicting reports that she's due to pop any day now, Angelina Jolie has
delivered the news that she's not quite eight months pregnant.
That means anxious shutterbugs can expect another full month of dodging
Namibian officials, not to mention Jolie and Brad Pitt's aggressive security
goons, if they want any chance of capturing the money shot of the most important
and beautiful baby ever to be born, ever.
It's enough to make a paparazzo cry.
Jolie announced her devastating due date in an interview with NBC, scheduled
to air Thursday on Today and Sunday on Dateline, during which she confirmed that
she knows her baby's sex, but isn't telling.
The actress also spoke about her relationship with Pitt for the first time,
calling it "one of those funny things that just happens," but stating that it
isn't really something she discusses, even with her beau.
"I don't talk about our--my relationship in public," Jolie said, according to
excerpts released to USA Today. "But we also don't talk about it at home."
The subject, she said, makes her "giggle."
It's "just kind of funny," she said. "If [Brad] saw this, he would probably
understand why I was laughing. Because I just don't know how to address that
kind of thing."
Jolie, the mother of one-year-old Zahara, whom she adopted from Ethiopia, and
four-year-old Maddox, whom she adopted from Cambodia, said she agreed to the
interview in order to raise awareness for her latest cause: the Global Campaign
for Education.
"I just think, especially my daughter, there's no possible way she would have
gone to school," Jolie told NBC. "She is so smart and so strong. And her
potential as a woman one day is great.
"Hopefully, she will be active in her country and in her continent when she's
older. And because she'll have a good education, she'll be able to do that much
more."
Jolie also participated in a teleconference Wednesday with British finance
minister Gordon Brown and and Gene Sperling, top White House economic adviser in
the Clinton administration and currently the U.S. director of the Global
Campaign for Education.
"I am really thrilled to have this opportunity...to bring this to the
forefront of people's minds this week," she said. "On a rare occasion, I am
really thanking the press because this is so important."
Brown recently announced that Britain would boost its spending on the project
by an additional $15 billion over the next 10 years, and challenged the other
nations in the Group of Seven, including the United States, to match that
contribution.
Jolie said she became involved in the cause, because "[m]any things make it
so personal to me."
Between her charity work, acting and raising two kids with another on the
way, it's no wonder the Mr. and Mrs. Smith star calls her life "very full"--not
that she's complaining.
"I'm very proud when I see my children--already Mad, just how he adjusts to
different places in the world and different people and his views and the kind of
man he's going to be," she said. "I'm very lucky."
