Angelina Jolie and twins leave hospital

According to reports, the actress has left Lenval hospital in Nice, France where she gave birth to twins last week. The hospital in the southern France has said in a statement on its website:

“Angelina Jolie left the clinic Santa Maria of Foundation Lenval around 4AM on July 19 with her babies, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. The mother and her babies are doing very well.”

The Fondation Lenval also thanked the Jolie-Pitt family for choosing the hospital. It also thanked the hospital staff “for the attention and care they paid to the family and the journalists around the hospital who did their best to respect their privacy.” According to E! News, Dr. Sussman made sure Angelina Jolie remained in the hospital until she was 100 percent back in the pink. A source revealed,

Angelina has four young and lively children at home and he [the doctor] suspects the temptation to get up out of bed and play with them will overwhelm her. He knows how much she misses the other children, but he feels that she will benefit from a few extra days’ rest. They’re being very well cared for.”

videos about Brangelina’s twins

Pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins reportedly sold for $11 million to an as-yet unnamed US publication. The big question is, will the magazine make a profit on it?? Watch the video below and find out why tabloids pay celebrities top dollar for their exclusive photos.

Also, I stumbled on this showbiz news report announcing the arrival of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s newest bundles of joy. Shots of Lenval Hospital where the actress gave birth via CS are also seen. Dr. Michel Sussmann in the press conference announcing Brangelina’s twins’ arrival is also in the video. Enjoy! =)

the story behind the names of Brangelina’s twins

Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt have the loveliest celebrity baby names ever! Knox Leon sounds so strong and manly while Vivienne Marcheline is so dainty and feminine =) The story behind Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twin names is this:

Vivienne is the French form of Vivian — to reflects her place of birth (Nice, France). Her middle name was chosen to remember her late maternal grandmother, Marcheline Bertrand who died of ovarian cancer.

Knox was the middle name of Brad Pitt’s maternal grandfather, Hal Knox Hillhouse. Leon is the name of Angelina Jolie’s great-great grandfather.

And if you want to make cash off the lovely twins online, it’s too late — Brad and Angelina’s attorneys at Lavely & Singer have bought all domain name combinations of the twins’ names last Saturday. Here are all of the ones taken so far:

Brad Pitt is the happiest dad in the world!

brad-pitt-idol-gives-back.jpg And that’s according to the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi. He revealed that after the birth of his beautiful baby twins, Brad Pitt met with him and kept repeating to him, “I’m the happiest father ever.” How sweet!! =) The twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, were born Saturday at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France. According to the local newspaper Nice-Matin, the babies spent Saturday night in Angie’s room and she took care of them by herself. Mayor Christian Estrosi, who visited Brad and Angelina Jolie in their hospital room, also told Nice-Matin,

“[Brad] told me we chose one of the best hospitals in the world, one of the best doctors, one of the best medical teams. And also the most beautiful bay in the world.”

As for Angie’s recovery and her twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann has updated People that “They are all very well, very well. Everything is okay.”

Yeah, that’s right – happiness is all in the family! =) Angelina Jolie’s long estranged father, Jon Voight, has been busy shooting the upcoming season of 24 but some of the press caught up with him while filming. Says the 69-year old actor about his two new grandchildren, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline,

“I am deeply happy. I’m over the moon. It’s magnificent. In this world, all we can hope for is that mommy and the kids are healthy. I’m very excited and thanks for letting me send my love to them. If I were called today, I’d be there.”

Well, I hope Angelina Jolie will find it in her heart to let Grandpa Voight visit her adorable twins =)

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi (at middle), shows off the birth certificate of Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, one of Angelina Jolie’s twins. He and Dr. Michel Sussmann, the actress’ obstetrician (at left), posed for the media at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, southern France last Sunday as they delivered news about the Jolie-Pitt twins. Knox Leon was born at 6:27 pm and Vivienne Marcheline came within a minute of that time. Can’t wait to see them!! =)

The documents also showed the Mayor’s signature, as well as Brad Pitt’s initials, the letters WBP representing his full name, William Bradley Pitt. The mayor entered the hospital at 3:24 p.m. last Sunday to oversee the signing, telling PEOPLE, “It’s a pride to Nice and all its citizens.” Knox is the 3,702 registered birth certificate in Nice for 2008. In welcoming the twins, Estrosi told reporters,

“On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple of the world who have chosen our city for this happy event. I also congratulate the four brothers and sister of the newborns who are [history won't forget it] real ‘Niçois’ (’citizens of Nice’).”

Dr. Sussman talks about Angie’s smooth delivery

angelina-jolie-obstetrician.jpgOn Brad and Angie during the labor and delivery: “[They] were talking, they were together. It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.”

On Brad never leaving Angie’s side: “He was my assistant! [He even cut the babies’ umbilical cords!] He was … perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.”

On the delivery in general: “Absolutely no problems. The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine.”

On when Angie and the babies will leave the hospital: “I don’t know. She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn’t like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay.”

Angelina Jolie gives birth to a girl.. and boy!!!

angelina-jolie-changeling-cannes5.jpg

WOW! It’s the coolest celebrity news ever! =) The tabloids got it right (and wrong!) — Angelina Jolie did have fraternal twins — but not two girls as they widely reported. Instead the Jolie-Pitts got a boy and a girl! That gives them a total of 3 boys and 3 girls, perfect! According to PEOPLE, Brad Pitt was at Angelina Jolie’s side as she gave birth to a son and daughter last Saturday at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France. Dr. Michel Sussmann, the actress’ doctor, said last Sunday:

“The babies are doing well. The operation went just perfectly. Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well. The mother and father are very, very happy!”

Earlier, the Nice-Matin newspaper reported that Angelina Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarean section on Saturday night. Knox weighed 5.03 lbs, and Vivienne 5 lbs. Dr. Sussmann confirmed confirmed all these details. Congratulations to the Jolie-Pitt family! Let the media storm begin! LOL

Shiloh and Zahara goes home after visiting Angie

But, of course, the paparazzi got some shots of the girls before they were whisked away from the hospital via a chauffeured car =) Shiloh looks so cute hugging her baby doll! Anyway, enjoy the photos of Zahara and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (and their driver + bodyguard too, LOL) inside the car!

Angelina Jolie in meltdown??

angelina-jolie-vanity-fair1.jpg

That’s what one tabloid is reporting! A source told InTouch,

“I think she’s [Angelina Jolie] in meltdown mode. She’s been getting upset if there’s not enough ice in her glass … She’s not walking around anymore. She doesn’t even take a shower early in the morning. She just stays in bed, talking on her phone, typing on her computer, reading magazines and watching TV.”

Well, if you’re having twins and the paparazzi is stalking you and your family, you’ll probably melt down too. Tsk! Poor Angie! The good thing is, the actress “completely” lights up during visits from Brad Pitt and kids Shiloh, 2, Zahara, 3, Pax, 4, and Maddox, 6. Sweet! =) OK! magazine, on the other hand, reports that Jane Seymour (also has twins!) is giving unsolicited advice to Angelina Jolie. She has apparently said,

“My advice to her is to put some weight on. I think she needs to keep putting on weight so she can feed those babies. I don’t think she should think twice. She hasn’t put on enough weight.”
