twins too much work for Angie??

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 =(

Brad Pitt, Maddox and Pax Thien in Venice!

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! ^_^

Brangelina eligible for $2,592.81 “nanny payment”

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.

Brangelina together for life??

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.

Brangelina to adopt seventh child NOW??

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.”
