Brangelina to adopt seventh child NOW??

angiebrad_neworleans1.jpg

And it’s not gonna be Chinese orphans as what was widely reported the past few weeks! This time, the rumor is that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are getting a little girl from Africa! Womans Day reports that despite their twins Knox and Vivienne being just six weeks old, the Jolie-Pitts are already in the FINAL stages of adopting their seventh child — supposedly to give Zahara a playmate and not feel estranged as she’s the only one dark-skinned in the family. Both Pax and Maddox are tanned Asians while the rest are creamy whites like Angie and Brad. Jane Pitt, the actor’s mother, has already expressed concerns about how tired Brangelina are with their two new babies but it seems Angelina Jolie is still determined with the African adoption. A source says,

Angie never planned to have biological children, she always saw herself adopting. She and Brad made a pact that they’d adopt as soon as possible after the children were born.”

Angie tired from feeding her twins?

That’s what InTouch is reporting! While partner Brad Pitt is “punch-drunk, happy-tired” daddy, Angelina Jolie is feeling the strain of having twins plus four more other active kids. A source revealed to InTouch,

“(The family’s French home is) frantic and messy. There are toys and clothes strewn in practically every room.”

But what is really taking it’s toll on Angelina Jolie is the “feeding the twins on demand”, such that the mother of six is “is tired all the time.” The source further reveals,

Knox wakes up, and (she) will spend an hour feeding and then changing him, and then Viv wakes up as Knox is going to sleep. Then, by the time Angelina has fed and changed Viv, she has about 10 minutes to sleep before it all starts over again.”

O-M-G!! It’s definitely tough being a breastfeeding mom — on demand at that! But despite being completely worn out, the source adds that Angelina Jolie “wouldn’t trade being a mother for anything else in the world.” Awww, sweet! ^_^

Brad Pitt will soon say goodbye to twins

hello-vivienne-knox1.jpg

No, he’s not splitting up with Angelina Jolie, with her having custody of the twins and their other kids. Brad Pitt is too enamored with the twins to separate with Angie — for now! LOL! According to reports, the hunky actor will film his new movie Inglorious Bastards in Berlin this autumn. Hence, he’ll be away from his rainbow family with Angie. The Quentin Tarantino war film, which will also star director Eli Roth as a Nazi hunter, is expected to go into production in October. Sources close to Brangelina have admitted that it will be difficult for Brad to leave his newborn twin children, who arrived at a French hospital last month. One insider told the Daily Mail:

Brad will only work Monday to Friday so that he can fly back to France at the weekend to see Angelina and the kids.”

PEOPLE denies “photoshopping” Vivienne’s smile

New York magazine recently suggested that PEOPLE magazine used a computer software to modify its latest cover of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s smiling newborn daughter Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. As you can see in the People cover above, 3-week-old Viv was smiling or laughing as she lies next to her twin brother Knox Leon in their mother’s arms. New York magazine has insisted that babies do not smile from exterior stimulation until two to four months of age. Their article said that the picture was Photoshopped or “the babies could have been born earlier than reported to avoid paparazzi attention, as has been rumored. Or Angelina and Brad, predicting their future acting careers, are already lying about the infants’ ages.” However, Sandi Shurgin Werfel, People’s director of public relations, denied the allegation and said,

“Contrary to blog speculation, People did not photo-shop Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt’s smile. One can only guess that she is smiling because her parents are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.”

LOL! As if Viv “knows” that her parents are the ever-famous Brad and Angie! ;-p

Angelina Jolie to adopt Chinese orphans soon??

Goodness! And to think she just had twins! But according to Britain’s Daily star, Angelina Jolie (and Brad Pitt, I guess) is *really* already contemplating another adoption. And this time, they want to get a kid from China. Sources said Angie was so devastated by the China earthquake last May that she’s been in touch with relief workers with regards to adopting, and has even received photos of a few orphaned kids. The source revealed,

“She’s made overtures offering a home to one earthquake orphan, or even two if they are siblings.”

Two?? WOW! That would put her brood with Brad Pitt to eight! Will they still have enough time for them? Won’t the other children be jealous? Especially with the arrival of the cutest twins ever? Daddy Brad says it’s not the case, at least for Maddox. The hunky actor shared to Hello magazine that Maddox (shown in the mag looking down at Knox in his arms and has a blue streak in his hair) has been “asking when we can have more.” LOL!

Viv is elegant while Knox likes music ^_^

Bits and pieces of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s interviews with People and Hello magazines are trickling down the internet. The latest I picked up was how surprised Brad was with his twins‘ unique looks. The “Assasination of Jesse James” actor said,

“I dare to say that Vivienne is proving to resemble Angelina in spirit, attitude and physicality. She is quite elegant like her mother. And Knox - he’s a bit of me. He likes music like his dad. But when he was born he looked like Vladimir Putin!

LOL! Vladimir Putin indeed! In case you don’t know, Mr. Putin is the current Russian president. Maybe Knox had a pointed nose that’s why daddy Brad Pitt thought he looked like Mr. Putin? I can’t tell it with these babies — they all look the same to me! ;-) As for Angelina Jolie, she revealed how she passed the time when she was in hospital on bedrest for the last two weeks of her pregnancy. The actress shared,

Brad and the kids came a few nights each week and spent the night. So we never went too long without seeing each other. I also watched ‘The War’ by Kevin Burns. I figured it would be the only chance I had to watch a 15-hour documentary!”

Brangelina to build AIDS clinic in Ethiopia

Aside from their usual charitable reasons, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are building one for their daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt to manage when she grows up. The actress will be making a trip to Ethiopia soon to discuss building the AIDS clinic as part of the work of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, a charity Angie set up with her partner Brad last 2006 for humanitarian aid around the world. The mother of six told Britain’s Hello magazine:

“We will be building a Tuberculosis/AIDS clinic in Ethiopia. The one we plan for Zahara to take over when she is older.”

Angelina Jolie also hopes to take son Maddox to his native place Cambodia as part of a separate charity trip that the family is planning once newborn twins Knox and Vivienne Marcheline grow up a little. The stunning actress shared,

“The next trip for our foundation will most likely be Asia to follow up on the situation in Burma and our work in Cambodia. The boys have been asking to go there, so we will take them when Knox and Vivienne are a bit older.”

Angelina Jolie denies having IVF

In the wake of one tabloid’s mag cover that she underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, Angelina Jolie gave a new interview denying the rumor. The now mother of six said,

“If they had been conceived by IVF, we would have been happy to discuss it. But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems.”

In said interview, Brad Pitt also related how they came up with the twins‘ name. The hunky actor said,

“The name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself–she has always been Viv. And Marcheline is to honor Angie’s mother. Knox came soon after. It is a family name, my grandfather’s. Léon is a classic French name.”

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline says HELLO!

While PEOPLE got the North American rights to the first photos of the Jolie-Pitt twins, HELLO! magazine from London got the world exclusive. This is good news for the international fans of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt since PEOPLE mag is hard to come by outside the US. Inside the HELLO! special issue are 17 pages of intimate Jolie-Pitt family photos, and of course, pictures of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. The mag is out today so go grab one and send us some scans! LOL! Anyway, here’s an interview snippet of Brad Pitt:

Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude and physicality… And Knox, he’s a bit of me.”
