KEY POINTS:

UPDATED: An intimate photo taken by

Brad Pitt

of his long-time partner

Angelina Jolie

breastfeeding one of her twins has leaked online, kicking off a wave of frenzied media interest.

The gorgeous black and white portrait will appear in the November issue of

magazine, but has already hit the internet and thrust Hollywood's golden couple back in the headlines.

Budding photographer Pitt supposedly took the 21 shots of the proud mother of six as the family rested at their Chateau Miraval hideout in the South of France in August, a month after Jolie gave birth to twins Vivienne and Knox.

A snitch tells gossip mag

Life & Style

weekly: "Angelina posed for Brad [Pitt] in one of the photos while breast-feeding," the source says. "It's really beautiful and tastefully done."

"The photos are amazing," adds a second source.

In the magazine's cover shot, a radiant Jolie sits with her hair draped over her shoulders, with the buttons of her blouse undone to reveal part of her breast - which is obscured by a tiny hand, ostensibly belonging to one of the twins.

And yes, as Brit comedian Kenny Everett would say, it's all done in the best possible taste!

What do you think of the cover shot? Tasteful or tacky?

Lauren Bacall: 'Tom Cruise is a maniac'

Silver screen legend

Lauren Bacall

has blasted

Top Gun

star

Tom Cruise

, branding him "a maniac".

The outspoken leading lady lashed out at the diminutive one during an interview with

Elle

magazine – the same mag that Tom’s ex

Nicole Kidman

spilled her guts

to recently.

Bacall, who worked with Kidman on 2003 flick

Dogville

, slams Cruise for leaving the Aussie actress heartbroken after their shock divorce in 2001, and accuses him of swanning off with Penelope Cruz.

“Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some g***mn thing — one of his more ridiculous moves,” she spouts.

“Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can’t understand the way he conducts his life.”

Bacall has taken a swipe at Cruise before.

In 2005,

The Big Sleep

siren said: "When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behaviour is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but, I think, it's kind of a sickness.”

Totes handbags at dawn for this pair of temperamental luvvies.

No fun bun in the oven

Internet rumours swirled like nobody’s business earlier this week, claiming that

Britney

Spears

’ little sis

Jamie Lynn

was again with child.

The

National Enquirer

set off the gossip mills when it quoted a source saying:

"Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical.

"Neither of them knows what to do, but for now they're trying to keep the news from getting out.

"Jamie Lynn believed she couldn't get pregnant while she was breast-feeding.

"She'd expected to have her period by early September, but a home pregnancy test came back positive and Jamie Lynn cried her eyes out.

"Lynne was livid when she found out. She told Jamie Lynn that she thought she was smarter than that and she couldn't believe that she hadn't learned her lesson.”

However, TMZ.com quotes an "unimpeachable source" as saying the teen mama is "definitely not pregnant".

All a crock?
