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

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!

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!”

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.”

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.”

PEOPLE magazine was the one who got the rights to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s photos, and now, they got Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt’s debut photos as well. But reportedly, the negotiations were tough. A source revealed, “OK! (Magazine) was in a much better position than ever before to be in the game … Price per twin, you’re looking at about $7 million each.” So how come PEOPLE got the exclusive and not OK! mag? Previous reports have speculated that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned down the much higher offer from OK! and accepted less money from People, but a source says: “That’s a lie. Negotiating ended and People won. There was no $20 million offer.” Of course, the mag who won the bidding will no longer refer to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as “Brangelina.” The source says, “It’s funny to think they actually took a cue from Jennifer Lopez, who was insisting on (not being called J.Lo). Stranger things have happened.”

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.”

Finally the wait is over! Presenting the lovely fraternal twins of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! WOOHOO! ^_^ The widely reported US publication that snagged the North American rights to publish the first photos of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline is none other than PEOPLE — the very same magazine that got the exclusive to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s baby debut (she’s also in this cover! see top right insert photo). Anyway, you can get this fantabulous double issue magazine featuring the Jolie-Pitt twins tomorrow at newsstands =) Here are some snippets of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s interview with PEOPLE:

Angelina Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Château Miraval in Provence, France: “It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time.”
.
Brad Pitt adds: “[It’s] still a cuckoo’s nest.”
.
Fortunately, they already have some household helpers, says Angie: “[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins‘] clothes and help change and hold them. It’s sweet – they are little mommies.” ^_^

Aussie magazine WHO has just released their annual edition which features their list of the sexiest people on Earth. And this year, the mag has expanded their list from 25 people to 100. And in the list is the beautiful Angelina Jolie! I don’t know her ranking though =) Aside from her, other Hollywood stars that made the cut were Jennifer Aniston (Angie’s rival for Brad Pitt, LOL), Johnny Depp, and David Beckham. WHO editor Nicky Briger said surprise entries included Rumer Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. WHO’s Red-hot casts include Home and Away and the Perfect Partners include rock-star newlyweds Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz and super-toned Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. Congratulations to everybody!

That would certainly add a WOW and SEXY factor to the Batman series if you know what I mean! And it would be perfect too since Bruce Wayne’s ladylove was killed (oops, spoiler!) so he needs a new love interest in the next installment. Contactmusic.com reports that Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman by the actress who made the role famous, Julie Newmar. She appeared in the 1960s Batman television series and has recently revealed she would love Angelina Jolie to take on the role - that is, if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan will resurrect the catty character in a future sequel. Julie shared to the New York Daily New:

“Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess.”

Other actresses who took on the Catwoman role were Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer. Will Angelina Jolie be next?? Stay tuned! =)
