This money could be enough to feed a big third world country but the fact is that two-week old babes’ve earned it. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have sold the first pictures of their newborn twins to a magazine for a reported $15m. Amazing, isn’t it?! This incredible price makes Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt’s pics the most expensive baby pictures ever.

Hello! outbid its main rival OK! for the rights to publish the pictures. A magazine insider said:

This is one of the publishing sensations of the decade – Brad and Angelina are the dream couple of the glossy magazine world and we expect to triple our circulation because of the public’s fascination and interest in the couple and their children.”

The American rights to the pictures will go to People, which also published the first images of the couple’s first biological child, daughter Shiloh in 2006.

The profits are reported to go to charity. Just like the time before.

According to recent reports, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have asked U2 star Bono to be the godfather of their newborn twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, born July 12 in France. The couple want to see Bono as godfather for their children as they’re impressed by his humanitarian work.

Bono has allegedly accepted the offer.

“They have been friends for years. Brad is a massive U2 fan and told Bono how much he admired him when they were introduced at a party a few years back. Since then, they’ve become very close, which Brad is thrilled about,” a source told The Sunday Mirror.

So who will become the million babies’ godmother now? It is reported Jolie will ask ex-lover model Jenny Shimizu to perform this role. No comment.

Angelina and Brad have revealed that their newborn babies were born in-vitro. The perfect twins born earlier this month in Paris to the world’s perfect couple, were no accident.

According to US Weekly on Thursday, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie used in-vitro fertilization to conceive twins Vivienne and Knox. A source close to the couple told the magazine that

They both desperately wanted more babies soon”

That was the reason for 33 years old Angelina Jolie to choose the $12,000 procedure so “she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. She could just knock it out.”

By the way, in-vitro fertilization improves the chances of conceiving twins from one percent to 25 per cent.

Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon were born in France on July 12. They joined adopted siblings Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and the couple’s biological daughter two-year-old Shiloh.

Also, there are reports in Daily Mirror that Angelina will be gaining major weight for a role in the forthcoming sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair. Newspaper writes:

Ideally they want Angelina to put on two stone (about 28 lbs) for the role. It is going to be very physically demanding, which is why they want her to carry the extra weight… They don’t want a reprise of what happened with Wanted, where she was fainting and they had to take her costumes in.”

Jolie will star alongside Pierce Brosnan in the 1999 remake. Brosnan will also produce the movie.

I can’t imagine Angie putting on weight. Even when pregnant she hardly put any aside from her belly. We’ll see.

It’s official and it’s splendid news! Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins – a boy and a girl, Saturday night, the French newspaper Nice-Matin first reported. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline [named after Jolie’s deceased mother] were born via C-section at the Lenval Hospital on the French Riviera. Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds, Dr. Michael Sussmann said to the AP:

Saturday was a great day for all. The babies are good, as is Angelina.”

According to the reports, the Cesarean section was moved up from its scheduled date “for medical reasons”” so the babies would be born “in the best conditions.” “Everything is normal. Everything is going well.” Sussmann said.

Brad Pitt was very supportive during the delivery. He was there all the time, holding Angie by the hand. According to Dr. Sussmann, the couple “were talking [during the delivery], they were together.”

It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy,” the doc added, saying it was Brad to cut the babies’ umbilical cords. “He was my assistant!” Sussmann joked, “He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.”

So far, the babies and mother are perfectly fine and will remain in hospital for a few more days. “She [Jolie] will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn’t like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay,” Mr. Sussmann added during the news conference Sunday.

Meanwhile, Angelina and her newborn twins start receiving their first visitors. Angelina’s brother James Haven visited his sister on Sunday morning. Jolie’s dad, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, hasn’t yet visited his daughter and his newly born grandchildren but said he was “over the moon”. “It’s magnificent,” he told The Insider. “I’m very excited. If I were called today, I’d be there.”

Though being just about 2 days old, the babies are here officially. On Sunday, Mayor Christian Estrosi of Nice, presented one of the birth certificates of Brangelina’s twins on the steps of Nice’s Fondation Lenval hospital, where son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline were born.

The typed certificate revealed that Knox was born at 6:27 p.m. on July 12. Sister Vivienne came within a minute of that time, Dr. Michel Sussmann told PEOPLE. The document also showed the Mayor’s signature, as well as Pitt’s initials, the letters WBP representing his full name, William Bradley Pitt.

”On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple of the world who have chosen our city for this happy event.” Estrosi said. “I would also like to congratulate the four brothers and sisters of the newborns,” he added. Estrosi told he’d be honored if Pitt and Jolie allowed their twins to be French citizens.

This is not the last good news for the babies and the whole family. According to the latest reports, Knox and Vivienne stand all chances to become world’s richest babies. Publicist Max Clifford estimated that the pictures could fetch about $20 million, “which would make it the biggest baby deal ever.” The proceeds are to go to charity, according to the source.

The twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are the 5th and 6th kids in the Jolie-Pitt family, joining Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.

Well, congrats to the big happy family. Remember, once Jolie said they wanted to have about 13-14 children. Well, these guys are trying really hard! Keep it up!

Can there be anything better than being hot and being elegant? These cover girls and the boy know, what I’m talking about. These are most elegant celeb cover stars of this month. And don’t even try to tell me you don’t find them glam and gorgeous.

Fantastic Kill Bill star Uma Thurman is gracing this month’s Vogue issue. If all women looked that fabulous approaching 40… A great and really elegant outfit consisting of a silk blouse, jeweled belt, organza and silk net skirt, accompanied by the matching necklace makes her look gorgeous at this cover.

Gwyneth Paltrow looks positively flawless in Versace on the July 2008 cover of Harper’s Bazaar. “You know, I don’t want to look like a mother who doesn’t care. For myself, for my work and for my relationship, I want to look good,” the star said. And she does look good in that great bright pink dress.

The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway is looking smart gracing InSyle’s July cover. As the magazine revealed, Agent 99’s alter ego is a master decoder of personal style. So sexy and smiley, Anne Hathaway seems like the greatest attraction for buyers. Just confess you couldn’t help but get yourself the mag because she was smiling so irresistibly!

British singing star Leona Lewis is featured on the July 2008 cover of Blender magazine. “I don’t wear little miniskirts and low-cut tops. If you want to show your bits off, it’s up to you.” Leona tells the music mag. This pop’s next megastar is wearing all black but anyway manages to look positive and hot. Sassy and hussy, Lewis looks great here. Mariah Carey look out!

“Mary-Kate is fragile yet strong,” said Diane von Furstenberg about this month’s Elle cover girl Mary-Kate Olsen. It’s not really often that we see the Olsen twins apart. Mary-Kate is famous for her incredible sense of style (which I personally do not always understand, but anyway). This cover explains why her fashion line is so popular worldwide. She’s really elegant and glam here.

When talking about elegance and style there’s no way I can miss Angelina Jolie, the sexiest assassin on screen and a doting and caring mom in real life. Jolie’s gracing two elegant covers this month.
Famous old Hollywood glamour is felt in the air when you’re looking at her Vanity Fair cover, while Entertainment Weekly cover looks more like down-to-earth but naturally beautiful. That’s Angie, a woman in full.

What I like about Arena magazine this month is Shia Labeouf’s cover. He’s so cute! Bet you all’d love to have a romantic date with the Indy star by the pool? A man in an elegant black suit is always attractive.

She is a patient like any other … very simple and for whom I have a great deal of respect.”

In Nice, France the talk of the town is Angelina giving birth. According to Doctor Michel Sussman, Jolie’s doctor in French Riviera hospital, actress is doing well and is expected to give birth to twins in the coming weeks.

During a brief news conference Doctor Sussmann gave few details away but declined to response to a question concerning the sex of the expected babies or the likely birth date. Sussmann told reporters at the Lenval hospital:

What she needs now is simple surveillance by monitoring to ensure the good health of her babies in the weeks to come.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have arrived to the hospital on Sunday by helicopter and have bodyguards secure their suite.

Doctor Sussman added:

Mrs. Angelina Jolie and … Mr. Brad Pitt, told me to let you know that she is doing just fine at the moment.

The greatest celebrity couple also are the parents of three adopted children - daughter Zahara from Ethiopia, son Pax from Vietnam and son Maddox from Cambodia, and have one biological daughter together, Shiloh, who was delivered by Caesarean section two years ago in the African country of Namibia.

This is the reason why Miss Jolie is so early in the hospital, she needs the post C-section check up.

Good luck and take care, Angie.

Pregnant with twins Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in France, which means Brad Pitt’s babies are on their way to this world.

According to several news reports, hospital representative Nadine Bauer said:

Ms Jolie came to the hospital last night as part of a pre-planned rest period, before she gives birth.

The visit has been planned for a long time, there are no complications.

She is just resting. She’s very well. Everything is fine.”

Newborn twins will be number 5 and 6 after six-year-old Maddox, four-year-old Pax, three-year-old Zahara and two-year-old Shiloh.

Any suggestions for the newborns’ names?

It might seem strange but it’s true. Wall E opened with $62.5 million in ticket sales making Wanted rank second this past weekend making $51.1 million. According to the AP, Wall-E drew moviegoers of all ages.

But… according to other stats provided by Perez Hilton, Wanted can still be considered huge success as it was the biggest opening of an action film in Jolie’s career; as it turned out to be the best June opening ever for an R-rated movie, beating Knocked Up’s $30.6m, and the 6th highest R-rated opening of all time.

Besides, the studio expected only a $35m-something opening, so the film did much better than anticipated. And finally, Angie proved she is a big draw: Cinemascore said the main reasons given for choosing to see Wanted were the action (67%) and Jolie (61%).

Angelina Jolie is replaced by Agyness Deyn as the face of Japanese cosmetics giant “Shiseido”, FemaleFirst reported lately.

Jolie has been the brand’s face since 2006. Deyn is due to join the campaign this fall for Fall 2008 Maquillage launch.

The Wanted star was also dropped by fashion house St. John last month after her three-year contract with the company, according to the source.

Guess Jolie is not really disappointed. She’s gonna be really busy soon changing diapers for her twins.

Truly, Angelina Jolie is the best living human being. Brad Pitt is a lucky guy to be her hubby, and together they make it the number one couple of all times.

The couple makes so much money, and they donate a big piece of it too. Jolie and Pitt joined George Clooney and Matt Damon to donate to the Not On Our Watch Foundation.

Pitt-Jolie family donated $500,000 to three groups in the war-torn country which will provide aid for thousands of children, said the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which is co-chaired by Jolie.

Moreover! Brad and Angelina donated $1 million to Iraqi and US children who suffered from their parents fighting in the war.

On the Iraqi side the money goes towards books and supplies to send children to school, refugee children and rehabilitation programs.

On the US side, the charity money goes to 8,000 children who have lost a military parent killed in war in Iraq or who are separated from a parent who is stationed in Iraq for years. Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program will provide educational tutors and counseling to 2,500 kids.

US government should be doing this. Once again, there is no point of war in Iraq when children suffer, children suffer on both sides. Bombings in Iraq kill children.

Brad, 44, starred in critically acclaimed Babel has advocated for relief in the Darfur region of Sudan, as well as he backed a program to help build homes for survivors of Hurricane Katrina in the US.

Angelina, 33, has donated millions of dollars to charity over her entire career. The Fox of the movie Wanted has been an advocate for refugees for years. She is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees/ UNHCR

‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ have three adopted children, one daughter of their own and expecting twins to pop out really soon. They care, do you?
