Los Angeles in May was hot, but not as explosive as Hollywood's gossip news.
Following the Burbank Middle School incident in April, another Hollywood story blazed across the nation, capturing the attention of the American public.
The freshly published "People" magazine was first to disclose Brad Pitt's decision to divorce Jennifer Aniston, as he planned to be with Angelina Jolie.
The cover of the new issue featured a family portrait of Pitt with Jolie.
According to the cover story, in the name of children and family, all the fault was placed on Aniston for not wanting children.
The producers of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" also made a behind-the-scenes move, giving it a big push.
On the increasingly influential internet, widely circulated gossip articles even appeared.
"Children! Children!"
