paparazzi arrested in Brangelina’s French home

brangelina-french-mansion.jpg

In an attempt to be the first one to photograph Brangelina’s twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, two paparazzi trespassed onto the grounds of the Chateau Miraval, the Jolie-Pitt family’s current residence in France. This isn’t any speculation or rumor as the incident was confirmed via a statement which follows:

“The two individuals were in full camouflaged gear and carried high-powered photographic equipment typically used by sophisticated paparazzi. When confronted by security guards on the Chateau Miraval property, the two individuals claimed there were just out on a hike.”

Sounds boring? The actual incident was anything but! The statement further revealed that at that point the photographers became violent and-

“Security then attempted to escort the individuals down the hill in order to wait for the local police. The same photographer then became violent, kicked one of the security guards, said he has Hepatitis C and bit another security guard. He then wiped blood from a cut onto the two security men repeatedly and continued to bite.”

Oh wow! Sounds very much like a Hollywood movie eh?? LOL! And all these just for the first photos of Knox and Vivienne! I just bet these kids will be hounded for life by the paps. Tsk! And for sure, Brad and Angie will tighten further the security in their home. Anyway, the one of the paparazzo involved in the incident, Luc Goursolas, gave his side and claimed he was acting in self-defense, He revealed,

“I threw myself at them, put blood all over them and told them I had HIV so they would stop hitting me.”

Angie’s ex-gf and Bono as twins’ godparents?

Now that Brangelina’s twin bundles of joy were born, the focus now is on who will be their godparents. According to reports, Angelina Jolie is planning to get her bisexual ex-girlfriend Jenny Shimizu as one of the godmothers. WT?? And as expected, Brad Pitt wasn’t too keen on her plan. As for the godfather, Bono of U2 seems to be the unanimous choice: one, coz of his do-gooder activities like what the famous couple is espousing, and two, coz Brad is a great fan of him. A source revealed to the Sunday Mirror,

Brad and Angie think the world of Bono. They have been friends for years. Brad is a massive U2 fan and told Bono how much he admired him when they were introduced at a party a few years back.”

More Jolie-Pitt twins gossip: Angie reportedly gave birth to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline with a music playing bird sounds and running water. How, ummm, natural!?? Or is earthy the better word? LOL!

Angelina Jolie had IVF??

angelina-jolie-in-vitro-fertilization.jpg

That’s what US Weekly is saying on their latest cover! Of course, even before she was confirmed pregnant, Angelina Jolie was rumored to be going IVF treatments because it’s hard for her to get pregnant in her very skinny state. And when she and Brad Pitt announced they are having twins, the IVF rumor turned into a wildfire. And now, 2 weeks after she gave birth, it still is a hot topic. A source told US Weekly,

“They conceived through in vitro fertilization. They both desperately wanted more babies soon. [Angie did it so] she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. She could just knock it out.”

Guess price is not a matter for Brangelina. Apparently, IVF costs around $12,000 per procedure! But hey, with $11 million from Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline’s photos, Brad and Angie have more than earned back their “investment” ;-) Apparently the chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina Jolie’s age (33 years old) naturally is under 1% while in vitro, the chances are 25%.

Brangelina wants more kids o_O

brangelina_twins.jpgYup, apparently six children is not enough for them! Oh well, at least Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has the resources to take care of a big family. After having a boy and a girl, a source close to the famous couple says that they have no plans stopping on having BIOLOGICAL children any time soon. How about adopted ones? Mmm.. Anyway, the source said that Angelina Jolie plans on having “one more baby naturally—even if they end up having twins. (Twins) would be wonderful.”

Brad Pitt has formerly said that he wants to have enough kids to field a soccer team and according to the source, a brood of that size isn’t out of the question. “A dozen kids would be their dream,” says the source. Twelve kids?? OMG! That’s too much! And a Hollywood-based clinical psychologist Dr. Michelle Golland seems to think that way too. She says that a family of that size is not normally what women desire. Dr. Golland said,

“There is not one mother that I know that would trade places with Angelina Jolie even if it meant they got to sleep with Brad Pitt.”

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton to reunite onscreen!

angelinajolie-billybobthornton.jpg I wonder what Brad Pitt has to say about that! Hehe! Reports are rife that the divorced couple, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton are planning to reunite for a comedy movie together. The former couple are currently searching for a suitable script in which they will co-star. Angie and Billy Bob first met on the set of their 1999 movie ‘Pushing Tin’ and were married for three years before divorcing in 2003. The actor recently told Maxim magazine that both of them were keen to work together again as long as he and Angelina are not cast as husband and wife. Bully Bob Thornton shared,

“We’ve talked about it plenty of times. I’m sure we will. We want to be really careful that we pick the right one. Maybe a comedy. In other words, we wouldn’t want to do another movie about a husband-wife relationship. That probably wouldn’t be very good.”

Brad Pitt on French newspaper!

The Nice-Matin newspaper published in Nice, France where Angelina Jolie gave birth have been reporting daily the going-ons of the Jolie-Pitt family, their mayor and Dr. Michel Sussman ever since Angie was admitted in Lenval hospital. Too bad I can’t read French! Hehe! The Nice-Matin newspaper also has reported that an unnamed U.S. publication has paid $11 million for exclusive rights to the first photos of the Jolie-Pitt twins and that the proceeds will go to charity.

These photos of the Nice-Matin headline and articles were taken after Angelina Jolie gave birth to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. Look how happy Brad Pitt is with the Nice mayor and Dr. Sussman! He’s one proud papa I guess! =) Also in this post are photos of Lenval hospital’s lovely seaside front. Simply breathtaking!

gossip on Brangelina’s 6 kids ^_^

First on Shiloh – according to Star’s latest issue, Brangelina’s first natural born child met up with the twins already and called them Vivi (Vivienne Marcheline) and Nosh (Knox Leon), thus christening them with their new nicknames. CUTE! =) Star also claimed that Angelina Jolie’s C-section delivery was captured on camera.

As for the other 3 kids — US Weekly reports that one day after Vivienne and Knox were born, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh arrived at the Lenval hospital with Brad Pitt and one by one the kids presented their mommy Angie with a single flower. Too sweet!! A hospital worker revealed,

“It was a blessed sight. I had a lump in my throat.”

New York Daily News, meanwhile, reports that Brangelina’s decision to name their newest son Knox (after Brad’s grandfather) may have been made at the last minute. A source told the paper that six weeks ago, Angie and Brad ordered a $190 play mat from Plain Mary that was monogrammed with the name Rex Leon Jolie Pitt. A new one emblazoned with Knox is now said to be on the way.

details about Angie’s sneaky hospital discharge

According to reports, AP Television cameras outside Lenval hospital in Nice, France last July 19 at around 4am was able to film a large white van with tinted windows leaving one of the hospital’s back entrances. No other vehicles left the hospital for the next several hours. Thus, it is now suspected that this is how Angelina Jolie and her twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, left Lenval. It was not immediately clear if Brad Pitt was with them.

In other news, a Mercedes people carrier was spotted exiting Lenval hospital carrying Brad and Angie’s bags plus their children’s seats which were thrown in behind the driver. Video of the Mercedes vehicle below. BauerGriffinOnline.com reports that the Jolie-Pitt family will now be heading Greece. WOW!!

Brangelina twins on PEOPLE mag!

brangelina-twins-people-cover.jpgFor sure, you probably have a copy of People magazine’s latest issue already. It’s ALL ABOUT THE TWINS after all! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins, that is =) Inside the mag are all the details about Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt’s arrival to our world. Friends of Brangelina were also interviewed with regards to the babies. And if the couple need a night out alone, at least one famous friend has already volunteered to help. Says Angie’s pal Wyclef Jean,

“I’m willing to babysit for them!”

Though the musician (he partnered with Brangelina for his Yéle Haiti charity) says he has no doubt they can handle their brood of six now that twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon are here. Wyclef adds,

“They will do well. I have a lot of well wishes for them.”

Meanwhile, Michael Kelly, who appears with Angelina Jolie in the upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed drama The Changeling, shared to People:

“I saw her with kids on-set and she’s just such a wonderful mom. You see her with the kids and it’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s the way it’s supposed to be.’”

Anyway, here’s a video of people who already bought (and read and enjoyed!!!) People magazine’s Brangelina twins coverage.

Dr. Sussman says Brangelina twins are “so cute”

angelina-jolie-obstetrician.jpgAngelina Jolie’s OB-Gyne recently gave an interview with the Jewish Journal where the good doctor detailed the actress’ double delivery last July 12 at Lenval Hospital in Nice, France. Dr. Michel Sussman tells the mag,

“It was not an easy operation — a second caesarean with twins is difficult — but it went perfectly and they are so cute!

The fraternal twins (named Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline) weighed in at 5 pounds apiece. The doctor further adds,

“The delivery was very emotional and exceptional as Ms. Jolie is a superstar, but I think that it happened on Shabbat [the Jewish Sabbath] made it that much more moving.”

Dr. Sussman also shared that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt “were always laughing and having a good time together … even during the birth operation.” The doctor also pointed out that while he and the Oscar-winning actress have “an excellent rapport,” his job is to take care of her, not “be her friend.” Dr. Sussman concludes,

“She [Angelina Jolie] is so, so nice and never complained about anything. There are negative things sometimes written about her on the Internet, but don’t believe them.”
