As the tabloids come in, everybody’s going to have a different take on Brangelina’s Cannes appearance. Later today, I’ll do In Touch’s cover story about how Brad and Angie were allegedly fighting on the red carpet, but for now, let’s look at the coverage from Star and the National Enquirer. Both tabloids claim Cannes was a Brangelina lovefest for the most part, confirming Hello’s exclusive about the couple.

The Enquirer’s report makes it seem like Brad and Angie were slipping off for quickies every two seconds, when Brad wasn’t showing his tongue down Angelina’s throat at formal dinners. They claim the Brange is “rediscovering each other and falling in love all over again.” Not really great gossip, but they do have an interesting little aside – apparently, after Angelina finished filming Salt, she’s taking the kids back to the French chateau while Brad works on a film stateside. So the tabloids already have their basis for the summer-split stories:

Despite all the bumps and knocks of their rocky relationship, these days Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in a good place.

“Right now Brad and Angie can’t get enough of each other,” a longtime friend told The Enquirer.

“Their love affair is red-hot again, and they can barely keep their hands off each other.”

[They] were part of a celebrity dinner party of 60. And the tasty main course – at least for Brad and Angie – was love.

“They slipped away for several kisses,” an eyewitness told The Enquirer.

“They obviously didn’t care who saw them. Their kisses were long and lingering.”

[Word is, after she finishes filming Salt in New York], she plans to take the six children to their Chateau Miraval, near Nice, for a long break.

Brad has to back to work almost immediately for his new movie, “Moneyball.”

“Love really does conquer all,” said the friend. “They’ve been rediscovering each other and falling in love all over again.”

Meanwhile, Star Magazine is still ringing the “Angelina’s pregnant” bell, which they’ve been claiming since the Oscars. What’s weird is that every time they’ve reported on Angelina’s alleged pregnancy in the past three months, Angelina has been about three months pregnant. This time, Star’s evidence is that Angelina had a visible “bump” when she walked the red carpet in that tea-rose-beige dress, and that the dramatic slit to her crotch was meant to distract from the beh-beh:

The premiere of Brad Pitt’s new film paled in comparison to the debut of his next child!

The crowds at Cannes went gaga for Angelina Jolie, who was proudly flaunting her blossoming baby bump in a form-fitting tea-rose gown by Versace.

“She wanted to look sexy and stop the show, and she did just that,” a source tells Star. “That dramatic side slit on her dress was a pretty distraction, but everyone was buzzing about her belly!”

“Angie wants to wait until she’s past the first trimester before she starts talking about the pregnancy. She’s just about three months along now.”

Angie also showed off some new tattoos – scribbles Brad drew on her body that she had permanently inked on.

“She has one on her left shoulder, one on her back and another on her arm,” says the source. “She loves that she has them on her forever.”

“She has them on her forever”… or until she gets them lasered off. The last thing Angie needs is more tattoos, but live and let live. I don’t really think Angelina’s pregnant – I believe they’re going to adopt next, and then maybe have one more biological child, if that. They seem to plan these things out, despite comments to the contrary. And as for the “bump” – it looked like a classic French bread and cheese baby to me.
