Confusion over Jolie-Pitt Birth

Entertainment Tonight had announced that Jolie had already given birth to her twins and they then were contradicted by PEOPLE who said that story was false. Though, they never did retract their initial story, ET is now saying they were given this information from an imposter. Somebody was posing to be Angelina's assistant and emailed ET with the gossip.

A rep for the show said they did not know about the existence of an imposter until Monday, when Jolie's attorneys circulated a letter to media outlets warning them of the ersatz employee. But sources have told the Associated Press (which ran with ET's "scoop") that ET was told after its online story went up—but before airtime Friday—that the information was no good. So why did they continue with its release?

Makes no sense to me, just makes me think they run with stories and they aren't reliable haha but I guess I do the same... oops... when gossip is too hot to keep to yourself, who can blame them?!?!
