It's finally here; the much awaited pictures of
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's latest bundle of joy. Or rather two happy
bundles.
Yea, that's right. The world can now catch a glimpse of the little ones ...
speaking of which, you've probably already heard that Hello!
magazine won the exclusive rights to Jolie's twins and, thus far, it is most expensive celebrity baby
pictures to date, with reports placing the amount at a whooping $14 million. As
usual, Pitt and Jolie will donate do the good Samaritan bit and donate money to
charity.
As
for the childbirth bit, it was a Cesarean Section and the fraternal twins
Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon were delivered, on July 12th in Nice.
The duo adds to the bustling brood for Brangelina, where the celeb couple
already have 4 other hyperactive little ones; Maddox(7), Pax
Thien (4), Zahara (3) and Shiloh (2). The latter was their first biological
child whilst the other three are lovable additions from all over the world.
Die-hard fans might be wondering about the baby names for Brad
Pitt & Angelina Jolie's latest duo, so here goes the explanation. Vivienne Marcheline
is Jolie's own mom's name; fans will remember that she was quite close to her
mother and deeply affected by her recent passing away. Knox Leon is a tribute
to both Jolie and Pitt's grandparents ... sort of; Knox was the middle name of
Pitt's grandpappy and Leon was Jolie's great-great granpa.
Say what you might, the choice of names hint at great attachment to family
roots and humble beginings. Which is quite sweet when you think of the strange
names people give their little ones.
And where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is concerned, controversy and scandal is
never far. The latest uproar suggests that People magazine might have
altered the pictures of the Jolie-Pitt twins; "Parenting magazine
says that babies don't smile from exterior stimulation until two to four
months - even if said exterior stimulation is the most beautiful pair of
humans in the entire world," NY Magazine said. [Note: look at pic two, cover of People mag]
Sigh!Talk about bizzare.I believe devote fans don't
care either way - the age old arguments goes that babies are cute even when
they look utterly miffed.
