US Weekly is claiming that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt used in vitro fertilization to conceive their twins. Makes sense, as the chances of having fraternal twins at Angelina’s age naturally, she’s 33, is under 1%. But with in-vitro the chances become 25%. I know I was thinking some medical intervention had to have occurred for Angie to have fraternal twins, unless she was eating a lot of yams. The source for US said that:

The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so “she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant,” the source tells Us. “She could just knock it out.”

The twins are of course Knox and Vivienne, born in France on July 12th. Both Brad and Angelina have said that they want 10 kids, and given their age, it is no wonder that they would want to ‘knock them out’

yikes!

They have 6 kids total now with Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

Angelina Jolie and her newborn twins have been released from the hospital.

Hospital spokesperson, Nadine Bauer told People magazine that,

Angelina Jolie left the Clinic Santa Maria of Fondation Lenval early in the morning of July 19th.  The mother and babies are doing very well.

Despite numerous reporters and photographers camped outside, the Jolie-Pitts were able to leave the hospital unnoticed around 4:00am Saturday morning.  At 9:00am Dr. Michel Sussmann told the reporters, “You can go home now.  The story is over.”

The story may be over for reporters, but for the Jolie-Pitts its just the beginning.  Many people thought that Brad was just another fling for Angelina and now 3 years later they welcome Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to their family.  Knox and Vivienne have now joined their 4 siblings- 6 year old Maddox Chivan, who’s birthday is coming up August 5th, 4 year old Pax Thien, 3 year old Zahara Marley, and 2 year old Shiloh Nouvel at their new home in Correns, France.

I hope they release their pictures soon…I can’t wait to see what the twins look like.  I am sure that they are just as beautiful as the rest of Brad and Angelina’s children.

Angelina Jolie has really given birth this time! I swear!! The happy couple welcomed a son and a daughter Saturday evening at the seaside La Fondation Lenval Hospital in Nice, the actress’ obstetrician tells E! News.

Twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were delivered via cesarean section about 6 p.m. local time.

“Brad and Angelina are extremely happy and everything went perfectly,” Dr. Michel Sussmann the obstetrician who delivered the twins tells E! News. “Both of the babies are adorable and in excellent ?health and everyone’s content and getting some much deserved rest. [Brad, Angelina and the twins] are all tired but very, very happy.”

Knox was born first at 6:45 pm and 5.03 pounds, and Vivienne followed at 7pm and 5 pounds.

Brad stayed by Angie’s side during the operation, which took place earlier than expected (it was rumored that the C-section was going to take place this Tuesday). Sussmann told the Associated Press the procedure was pushed up “for medical reasons,” but declined to elaborate.

Jolie should be allowed to leave within a few days. Usually a four day recovery is standard after a C-section.

No word yet from the couple’s camp.

The actual arrival comes weeks after it was erroneously reported that Jolie and Pitt had welcomed twin girls, Isla Marcheline and Amélie Jane, named in honor of the A-listers’ own parents (Jolie’s late mother was named Marcheline; Pitt’s is Jane).

Earlier Saturday, reports surfaced indicating Jolie had given birth to twin girls, but a hospital spokeswoman said the stories had “wrong information.”

The newest additions are welcomed by the Jolie-Pitt brood including Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2, who have been under the care of Haven and an army of nannies.

They are the Brady Bunch for this generation!

Congratulations to the happy family!

A spokesperson for the Lenval Hospital in Nice has confirmed that Angelina Jolie has been admitted.

Spokesperson Nadine Baur said that the admittance had been planned for a while and that Angelina will stay at the hospital until the twins are born.

Baur stated, “There’s no urgency. It’s been planned for a long time. She’s very well. Everything is fine.”

It is safe to assume that the twins will be in France for a while before making their U.S. debut. Brad, Angelina and their four children just settled into their recently purchased home on the French Riveria.

The twins are sure to be a beautiful addition to the Jolie-Pitt family.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $1 million to help the children affected by the war in Iraq.

The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict organization will handle the distribution of the donation, which was made through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.  The money will be split among four organizations that work with U.S. children who have lost parents due to the war and Iraqi homes, school, and children affected by the war.

Angelina Jolie told Education Partnership for Children of Conflict that,

These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal.

Brad Pitt added, “We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations.”

The Jolie-Pitts have always been generous with their money.  They have donated millions upon millions to charities to help the less fortunate.  They are truly a great people.

The rumors about Angelina Jolie giving birth last weekend are false.

A rep for Jolie told People magazine that,

Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France.

Angelina told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that she was considering giving birth in France.  She said that France would be a wise idea because, “It is the second language in our house.”

Although we do not know her exact due date, she does look ready to pop deliver any day now.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcome the newest additions to their family. The babies are named Island Marcheline (after Angelina’s late mom) and Amelie Jane (in honor of Brad’s mother). Angie gave birth in a Catholic clinic in the south of France in the Aix-en-Provence on Sunday, May 25th.

The brood of beauties arrived in France late April for the Cannes Film Festival and for Angie to promote her newest film, Kung Fu Panda. It was then during an interview that Angie finally confirmed the pregnancy rumors. A friend of the family says that mom and twins are doing fine, despite the fact that the twins seemed to have arrived over a month earlier than the due date Angie told the press. Congrats to the happy family!

Update: Apparently the early media reports were wrong and Brangelina have not had the babes yet!

Hotties Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have made the jump to France!

Looks like the superstar couple really is set to give birth to their new twins in the country! The Jolie-Pitts have just paid a reported $70 million for a French chateau, complete with a vineyard and ponies for their clan of 6, located on the French Riviera.

doit être gentil d’être riche et fabuleux!!!

This latest property adds to their two houses in the Los Angeles area and their home in New Orleans.

Way to work the property investments. At least some people will survive this housing slump!
