Hollywood exploded with the news by midday, and by the end of the day, it had spread across America, with European and Asian media outlets clamoring to reprint the story. Brad Pitt's "nannygate" became the most sensational entertainment news of December.
Not even Jolie's public apology to Aniston in the Los Angeles Times stirred up as much response.
"Here we are at Beverly Hills where Megan from Los Angeles Channel 2 reports back. Behind me, you can see the tightly closed gates of Brad Pitt's mansion, where hundreds of journalists are on the watch."
In the Cody Community, on the television in Martin's living room, there's a 24-hour news marathon covering the "nannygate" scandal.
Aniston lay in Martin's arms, watching with great interest.
