Ever since after the birth of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, Angelina Jolie and her rainbow family has been keeping a low profile because the actress fears that her children will be kidnapped. According to tabloid reports, the mother of six is refusing to “leave” the French chateau she shares with Brad Pitt. The Sydney Morning Herald quoted a Jolie-Pitt family friend as saying:

“If one of them is unaccounted for for more than 30 seconds she gets hysterical.”

And according to Grazia, Angelina Jolie is a “virtual recluse” and that she “has not been seen in public for at least two months.” The publication also reported that Angie “has long struggled to maintain a healthy weight” and “wants Brad to cut all ties with anything to do with Jen (Jennifer Aniston).”

Aww, he’s to sweet for words eh?? Angelina Jolie is really lucky to have him! I really wish them well and that their union will last.. =) Anyway, after appearing in the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt is now at the Toronto International Film Festival to attend the gala screening of his new comedy film “Burn After Reading” with George Clooney. The hunky actor plays a knucklehead fitness employee in the movie which will surely make the audiences laugh! Hehe! And when asked what makes him chuckle in real life, Brad Pitt told PEOPLE: “My kids!”
The actor also related that everybody back in France, Angelina Jolie and their six kids, are all alright. Brad Pitt revealed,

“Everyone is healthy. No sleep though. Sleep is something you long for, but it’s alright. We’ll get it.”

His co-star Tilda Swinton (she has twins too!) butted in and advised, “It gets easier! And it’s true.” And what kind of a father does she think Brad is? “He’s fantastic,” said Swinton. Costar John Malkovich chimed in: “He was very doting with his daughter during shooting on a couple of days I was there. He’s very much a present parent.” ^_^

That’s what In Touch is reporting on their latest cover page! While Brad Pitt is out gallivanting in Venice and Cannes, Angelina Jolie is back home and struggling to cope following the birth of her two-month-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon. Sources claim the Wanted actress is exhausted by the sleepless nights and has called in doctors over concerns for her newborns’ health. National Enquirer is reporting that Viv and Knox are suffering from colic, a common but largely unexplained condition that causes repeated episodes of excessive and inconsolable crying in babies.

Anyway, In Touch magazine further reports that its the twins’ constant state of distress that has caused Angelina Jolie to slip into ‘depression mode’, prompting fears she may be suffering post-partum depression. According to a source,

“[Angelina Jolie] has been trying to control her emotions [around her older children] her mood swings have been hard on the entire family. She has been staying in bed most of the time, all she does is sleep. She has little energy and has to force herself to remember to eat because she is still breast feeding. She cries at the drop of a hat and laughs at inappropriate times. Everyone around her is hoping that she will talk to someone about how she is feeling.”

Click on the photos to enlarge. You can read the whole article that way. Yeah, I’m too lazy to retype it here. LOL! :-p Don’t worry, the text is fully readable and it gives a lot of info about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s next adoption. As previously posted here, the newest addition to the Jolie-Pitt family is an African girl (not a baby) for Zahara‘s well-being. Enjoy reading the magazine scans courtesy of AngelinaPlace.com! ^_^

That’s what the tabloids are reporting! Rumors are rife that Angelina Jolie hasn’t been getting enough sleep and isn’t eating enough since welcoming twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, her fifth and sixth children with partner Brad Pitt. An insider revealed,

“She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twins. Angelina Jolie has been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed.”

Yup, having newborn twins plus four more other kids definitely puts your health in the dumps! Another source adds,

“She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.”

Well, I hope Angelina Jolie will follow the doctor’s orders! No good having the cutest (and most expensive) twins on earth when you’re sick =(

Yeah, only the Jolie-Pitt boys were able to come with Daddy Brad for the Venice Film Festival. Though it was highly rumored that Angelina Jolie will make her first post-pregnancy appearance in the said festival, she was nowhere to be found during its first few days. Clad in white attire, hunky Brad Pitt and his sons, Maddox and Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, arrived in Venice for the 65th Annual Venice International Film Festival on last August 26. Enjoy their photos! ^_^

Man, if France can give dole outs to the rich, I would certainly relocate and have my babies there! LOL! According to reports, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are technically eligible for a “nanny payment” of $975.84 a month, not to mention an “orphan allowance” of $508.97 for each of their three adopted children. The grand total, $2,592.81, would be payable by check each month. The sum is part of a financial package waiting for the Jolie-Pitt family at Brignoles Town Hall, close to their manor house home in the south of France. The Town Hall was one of the first places that Brad Pitt went to after arriving in France — there, he registered his family to make sure they were known to local medical services. This means all of the family are now listed on official state records, thus allowing them to enjoy the financial benefits available.

If you’re wondering why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are eligible to receive benefits despite earning close to $40 million dollars a year, its coz many of the most generous French benefits are not means-tested nor income related. Confirming that the couple were now established members of the community and so eligible for benefits, Correns mayor Michaël Latz said:

“They are ordinary and very kind. They eat like us, they live like us and they are very interested in the organic food of Correns. They decided to move here after visiting other homes in the region.”

However, a spokeswoman for the Brignoles council said:

“We do not discuss individual benefits cases, but can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”

WOW!!! Maybe being a photographer is next on the hunky actor’s agenda after being a charity organizer and architect! According to an exclusive report by Fashion Week Daily, Brad Pitt has apparently photographed Angelina Jolie and their six kids at the Chateau Miraval in the South of France last week for the November cover of W magazine. This is Brad‘s first time in creating a cover though he already collaborated with friend Steven Klein to create a photo portfolio of Angelina Jolie and himself in the feature “Domestic Bliss” from the July 2005 issue of W mag. That’s the cover above. Neat huh?? ^_^ Photography has been a longtime hobby of Brad Pitt, and he has appeared on the March 2007 cover of Interview wielding a camera. Angelina Jolie also reportedly gave him a Littman 45 single camera as a birthday gift.

That’s what Angelina Jolie‘s brother, James Haven, is saying! The part-time actor says that his sister has found the perfect partner in Brad Pitt, and he expects them to stay “together for life.” James Haven is convinced the famous pair will never split up because Brad has had such a positive influence on Angie‘s life. He says,

“Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond. I’ve never seen any sign of tension between them and if it keeps going the way it’s going, they’ll be together for life.”

Hmmm, family approval is always a good sign in any relationship! And we wish Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt the tightest relationship ever! ^_^ However, InTouch reported in their new issue that the mother of six has told Brad “not to bother” returning to their rented French home after he left to spend the night up the coast at a place owned by U2′s Bono. An insider said Angelina Jolie‘s nerves were shattered and

“she has been screaming at Brad over the tiniest things.”

According to sources close to PEOPLE mag, early sales estimates for the Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline issue is around 2.6 million copies. Yup, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s babies are already stars in their own right mere days after they were born! According to reports, the twins issue is the biggest seller in seven years, and is the fourth highest newsstand seller in the magazine’s 35-year history. It is behind the Sept. 11 issue (4.1 million single copies), the issue covering Princess Diana’s death (3 million) and the one covering the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. (2.8 million).

Meanwhile, the June 19, 2006 issue with the exclusive baby pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s first daughter, Shiloh, sold 2.2 million newsstand copies. Still a bestseller! Making celebrity babies has never been so lucrative eh?? And it’s good that the money are all going to charity ^_^ Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline‘s baby photos also broke PEOPLE mag‘s online search record. People.com apparently had 6 million unique visitors for the first 24 hours after the Brangelina twins cover went online. Usually, the website averages around 8.8 million unique hits a month.
