HOT OFF THE PRESSES….++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Paparazzi struggle as Pitt-Jolie birth nears 53 minutes agoWINDHOEK (Reuters) - It’s the million-dollar shot. An exclusive photograph of Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with their newborn, especially one taken in the far-flung African state of Namibia where they are staying, would be gold dust to the lucky snapper. Little wonder paparazzi from around the world are lurking outside the Burning Shores Lodge in the seaside resort of Langstrand where the couple are staying ahead of the birth, due in mid-May."It would be one of the biggest celebrity pictures of all time if there was a genuine exclusive," said Darren Lyons, founder of London-based Big Pictures, one of the biggest celebrity photo agencies."It would be over a million dollars."He confirmed he had a "team" in Namibia, a sparsely populated land with deserts, huge sand dunes and game reserves, but would give no other details. He, like many others, believes however that the odds are stacked high against a genuine scoop.Not only must the paparazzi contend with cloth screens surrounding the luxury resort.The police have joined private security guards to protect Jolie, 30, and Pitt, 42, from prying lenses, and one guard has used pepper spray to keep a photographer at bay.The couple may also throw a spanner in the paparazzi’s works by posing for a selected media outlet or holding a carefully staged photo call giving everyone access."There are two options," said Rhianne van der Linde, account manager at Images 24, the pictures arm of South African media group Media 24 which runs a stable of newspapers and magazines."Either Brad and Angelina decide to schedule an exclusive photo shoot with a reputable magazine and photographer, or they are going to make a public appearance and the paparazzi can gather and everybody gets the same shot."That would take the price down to normal levels," she said.SPOILERS AND SAND DUNESSouth Africa’s Sunday Times reported that Jolie had sold exclusive rights of the first pictures of the baby to U.S. celebrity magazine People, which would in turn donate $3.5 million to UNICEF. This could not be independently confirmed.People magazine also reported that the couple have a plane on standby should they decide to have the baby elsewhere, though doctors usually advise against flying late in pregnancy.U.S. television news magazine Dateline NBC has already had access to the couple, with correspondent Ann Curry traveling to Namibia for an exclusive interview with Jolie.Few will find the going so easy.Namibia has already expelled several photographers from the seaside resort, and the government warned other journalists it would take all measures to ensure the couple continue to enjoy their stay.In addition to temporary working papers, any journalist visiting to cover the Pitt-Jolie stay "will have to be accompanied by proof of consent that the couple had agreed to meet with them," a Ministry of Information statement said. Paparazzi on the ground are clearly finding life tough. "I’m disguised as a sand dune but I’m getting absolutely nothing," one foreign photographer said jokingly, although he added quickly that he did not want to be identified for fear of immediate reaction by Namibian officials. "This has really gotten out of hand. There is a no-fly zone over the hotel, it is an unprecedented display of police power. It is really ominous." Similar fears were raised by Namibia’s National Society for Human Rights, which said Tuesday the visiting celebrities were gutting Namibia’s constitutional guarantees of press freedom by agreeing to the extraordinary security. "It is a dangerous precedent, especially that tomorrow any government official can use the same example to claim that his or her right to privacy is being violated or they are being harassed by the media," said a society spokesman.

Peeople Magazine has a new poll. Remember to vote for Brad :)http://people.aol.com/people/galleries/0,19884,1184666_1184664,00.html # 265 | guli+++++++++++++Sorry…I hated to do it, but I had to vote for Mel Gibson. For my money, back in the day, he was the most "beautiful" man EVER. You wanna talk about beautiful blue eyes? Mel’s got them. His blues are almost as great as Paul Newman’s. He looks kinda crappy these days, but hell, six kids’ll do that to you! Are you listening Brad?!

Passing through:Well girl I know you might be feeling a bit guilty of all the "gawking" and all, as your handle alludes to your original intention to be only passing through, but I don’t think any of us should feel guilty about it. They are not in Namibia because of the people who are so enamored with their lives. Angie is their because she wants to be and Brad is there because he loves her and wants to be there too. Brad said on Diane Sawyer re: that picture of them on the beach in Africa last Aprilthat if he knew that picture would get so much $$ he’d have staged it himself. Well……..that’s exactly what they are doing andyes they surely have their staged faces on in this photo. The bottom line is.. if it weren’t for you and me and the rest of us, that 3.5 million dollars would go somewhere else and surely not to UNICEF. So actually for the first time in my life , I am feeling that buying a tabloid with them on the cover, is actually helping build hospitals, fight the AIDS epidemic, provide eduaction, transport food and medicines and get to people who are so desperately in need out of dangerous refugee camps. These 2 are changing things up on such a massive scale. Brad is a rebel and so is Angie …. WOW what an awesome thing they are doing. God Bless them. They are brillant and a powerful couple for humanity.Re: Jennifer Aniston…… I think the irony of it is like a woman mentioned on the E!blip called "It’s So Over Brad & Jen". (can download it off the pittcenter website….. psst..there’s another rude dog on there too talking about Brad’s needs..haha) Anyway, a woman said that when they divorced so many people wanted to see Jennifer Aniston get revenge and go out with the most incredible and amaizing film star, but unfortunately that was Brad Pitt that did that. Even in one of the clips reviewing their Cinderella marriage, JA talks about being married to Brad and sounds so uncomfortable and insensitive to her marriage..to me she looks like she is just down right pissed her noterity is just about her marriage to Brad.JA wanted her own fishbowl………Well she got it didn’t she, and unfortunately there’s a bit to much caca floating around in it for people to want to take a peek anymore.Good Morning all. Hard to not have my java without stopping in at the Brangelina Coffehouse. Love you guys and BAMZ+ 1 for-evah!Thanks for the HELLO link.(Wishing Angie Braxton Hicks!!)Jpf: My daughter loves horses too. She wants to may be a vetenarian cuz she loves horses and dogs and animals in general . she’s still young so goes back and forth. Social life and school has taken over for right now. We have 5 acres and wedo show our babies when we can. We are into the alternative Perelli training and my daughter is turning out to be quite the horse whisperer. I hope she follows her dreams. Somehow I think horses will be a part of it.

BTW- People does not allow you to vote more than once. # 284 | guli |+++++++++++++++I’m sure they’re tracking IP addresses of the voters. Isn’t it a shame that I do computer support at a major university and have access to HUNDREDS of different IP addresses? What a bummer, huh? Now all I have to do is keep myself from voting for Mel…..
