OlderBrad & Angelina Press Conference
Swakopmund, Namibia :: Angelina and Brad Pitt confirmed Wednesday that their newly-born daughter Shiloh Nouvel will have a Namibian passport.
"Shiloh will receive a Nambian passport, so we shall return," Pitt said at the couple’s first public appearance since the May 27 birth.
The Hollywood glamour pair spoke to local journalists at a press briefing at the four-star Hansa Hotel in Swakopmund at the edge of the Namib desert where Jolie gave birth by Caesarian Section.
"We couldn’t have picked a better place to have our child," said Jolie, looking healthy and relaxed in a black dress. Pitt agreed: "We are very proud that our daughter was born here".

Pitt said the couple had "done their homework" before deciding on Namibia as the birthplace of their first biological and third child.
"The health of our daughter and Angie’s was imperative. We’ve had absolute top-notch medical assistance," Pitt said.
The couple reiterated their gratitude to the people of the sparsely populated country, which has come under intense media interest since their arrival two-and-a-half months ago.
"We are eternally grateful to the Namibian people," Pitt said. "Namibia is one of Africa’s best kept secrets - until we came of course."
The couple had been "afforded a lifestyle here we could not have anywhere else" and that Namibia has been "a wonderful place to be with our kids."
The couple said they planned to remain in the country for just a few more days before returning to the United States. "Just a few more days. My mother is dying to see the baby," Jolie said.
On the tight security around the couple, Jolie said they had wished this had not been necessary but felt "the birth should be done in a way that was peaceful."
Pitt explained that having "a child with a bounty on its head" before its birth, had brought about the need for bodyguards to shield the family.
On future career plans, Pitt said he would begin work on the latest in the Ocean movie series in August while Jolie planned to concentrate on the needs of her three children - the newborn and four-year-old Maddox and one-year-old Zahara.
The couple were accompanied by Namibian first lady Penehupifo Pohamba (pictured above) regional governor Samuel Nuujoma and Child Welfare Minister Marlene Mungunda as they spoke to journalists for about 30 minutes, posed for photographs and signed autographs.
A day after their daughter was born, the couple announced they would provide 300,000 dollars for the refurbishment of hospitals in Namibia. Jolie, a United Nations goodwill ambassador, discovered Namibia some years ago while filming a movie there. [AP]

You can tell by reading the comments, that JA nutty fans are jealous and ugly. Face it, the most popular couple had a beautiful baby. Jenny will never have a child, she is too selfish and old.
#525 AlexanderinaBAMZS,Thank you.I will do so.
# 527 | Ivy | - LMAO, that was a good one Ivy
# 504 | Olga | ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzPlease. I am sure you are nice woman and all but don’t think that your words are any better than ours. You are judgemental and condescending with all your fabricated tabloid info. The FACTSNO LIES……..is that Angelina Jolie has no reason to hide and run from anyone because she didn’t do anything wrong except getsucked into Jennifer Anistons Bermuda Triangle and got cast as the "vixen" to promote JA’s promotional schemes to play thewounded one.In using " your" analysis, Vince did it cause hecould, and JA should have "honored" her marriage vows and not been straddling Vince before the divorce was final. Shame on her. WHat a nasty girl!The FACT is you DO NOT KNOW the TRUTH now do you? I tend to believe what Angie said, what Brad said, what Jennifer Aniston said, what Courtney Cox said, and what the director of the movie said amongst others not mentioned in the tabloids.Now run to the newstand and buy the next copy of the Enquirer so you can come back and tell us all about how the "vixen" slept with someone else before she got pregnant with "her" baby. Do you see a repetitive "pattern " here? Hmmmmmmm?
# 502 | uh_ohI knew it was only a matter of time before one of the tabs would go there. Ridiculous! I think they should sue over this one!
To All hater and maniston fans, if your idol is better off with Brad, why keep coming here and bashing Brad and feeling so bitter ? Isn’t she much happier with the one night stand guy Vince ? and please don’t preach us how pretty Aniston is cos we don’t give a damn on it. for me, She look like Dustin Hoffman sister. that is!
# 282 | psychoeg Dude…you’re preaching the choir. Many of us believe they’re already hitched and have been saying so for months. They’ve never denied being married because none of the idiot journalists dogging them have enough sense to ask them! I doubt they’d outright lie if someone asked them the right question.
The Truth Prevail - yeah, i read lainey’s update yesterday and couldn’t help sending her a feedback. I said the same she kind of leaning on the opposite side, i said it must be brangelina fatigue. lol! but then again, although i enjoy her gossips she can sometimes go overboard, don’t you think? specially that supposedly orcheastration of baby pic being leaked the same day the box office result came out. i mean brad couldn’t be bothered with what’s going on with X now that they are a family of 5. wow! look at those boobs of angie, she’s all woman.
# 287 | CLINIQUA Hey Cliniqua….Come on…give Gwen a break. Angie’s rockin’ the post-partum boobies, but then again she’s only TWICE her normal size. Gwen is about 5 times her normal size! Let’s give Gwen some more respect. That poor girl has been saying for years that she wished she had bigger boobs but doesn’t want fake ones! Now she’s got ‘em…even if it is only for a couple of months.
How come all the hater-rats crawled out all of a sudden and at the same time? Or is it just one posting under different names? This last question is only a rhetoric one if you still wonder.
This will be part of HISTORY that these two people risk everything FOR LOVE AND children.When it seemed the whole world was against them being together they concentrated on their strenght together as a unit and showed us they did not care what we thought of them now THE WORLD cannot get enough of them and they realize that. BTW I just watched the love scene in the unrated MAMS where brad’s butt was exposed and Angie on top of him with bare breast these 2 may not have done anything but they connected on a level that only some of us could every dream.
533 ditto-I believe they were married in Africa before Shiloh was born. They both have a passion for Africa.JJ, the pics are gorgeous of Angie and Brad. They look so happy in love. Angie is even more beautiful now.
Olga. Emerald, Canadian chick…Please just because YOU do not have any morals and just because YOU don’t respect boundaries does not mean others are the same. Do you really think that Brad would have wasted his time with Angie if she had been an easy piece of ass??? Please. No man wants the mother of his children to be a hoe… either with him or anybody else. You may hate Angie for being everything she is but that includes personal integrity. She neither lies or makes excuses. She is an open book. Perhaps if YOU were the woman who could have any man she wanted you would understand it . A woman who knew what she wanted and what she was worth and knew that the right man would understand and wait. Or if you were a woman of substance. But sadly none of you have grown to the stage yet. Anelina has had men and women want her for all the wrong reasons … She was waiting for someone who wanted her for the right reasons…
(((((((((((BREAKING NEWS))))))))))SPOOP MCSNEAK CELEBRITY MAGAZINEEDITOR’S NOTEWe know by now you’re all aware that the pictures of the most anticipated baby have been sold to “Some Magazine”. We’d like Snoop McSneak readers to know that our magazine was also part of the bidding war for these precious pictures. Basking in the glow of our earlier scoop, we sat in our offices taking congratulatory phone calls from all the other magazines. They tried to find out how we did it but any good magazine knows you never share trade secrets. In a firm but polite way, we rebuffed them.The only Phone call that wasn’t congratulatory was from the Editor of People Magazine. She told us if we continued our sneaky ways in getting the scoop, we’ll never make it in the business, at which point she said “See what happened to Celebrity Magazine?” “What?” I asked “My point exactly” she replied and firmly hung up.As we pondered on her words, we couldn’t help but think she was trying to put us out of business using fake concern but. See, we’ve come across people, who because of Jealousy, try to bring you down in the guise of concern. We pondered and Pondered until the phone rang again.Imagine our surprise when we realized it was our defector, The Eye language Expert. At first, he claimed he was only calling to wish us well. That made us laugh, we knew why he was calling, The Traitor wanted his job back. As we plotted the many ways to tell him no, he asked us a question that brought everything crashing down. “So how much did you get for the Scoop?” The question hung in the air like a feather. How Much? All three of us exchanged looks“Don’t tell me you guys gave it away…just like that?” His annoying, smug…very smug voice came through the phone lines. That was exactly what we had done. In our excitement to break the news, we had skipped a very important step….Receiving payment BEFORE releasing the goods. We sat back in our chairs, each cursing the stupidity of what we had done. His laugh came though the lines like a grating buzz sound “Oh you fools. You’ll never make it with big dogs.” He said and laughed some more. “Well I’m guessing you guys weren’t invited to New York?Again we exchanged looks New York? What is happening in New York we wondered? I’m no mind reader but I knew he wouldn’t tell us if we asked. Now, it was the time to use the McSneak methods taught to us at Sneak School.“As a matter of fact we are” I answered boldly“They invited you also?” The surprise in his voice both annoyed and pleased me.“Why not?” I answered sounding so self assured I almost convinced myself WE really did get an invite.“Well, Imagine that. I thought the Jolie-Pitts will be more discriminatory…uhmm I guess they want everyone to have an equal chance with this.”The tension in the room mounted. He had mentioned the most important names in the Celebrity Business Dictionary. JOLIE-PITT. It could only mean one thing. BABY PICTURES!!!!We almost fell out of our chairs. This was better than anything we could ever imagine. If we got the pictures, we could spend the rest of the year…our lives…getting the scoops on the likes of David Spade, Tanya Harding and we’d still be top dog.His next words brought our excitement to a screeching halt “Piece of Advice guys don’t bother showing up. It’s gonna be war and you don’t have the right tools for it.” He hung up.The right tools…by that he meant money and he was right. This was the Jolie-Pitt baby…the Baby referred to as the Most Anticipated baby of the year…the pictures won’t come cheap. Dejected, we sat back down. Each of us lost in thought. Were they right? These people who told us we couldn’t make it in the business, The Editor for People Magazine, Our former friend and even my mother.Oh my mother! I remembered the day I told her I was quitting school to be a journalist. “like Barbara Walters? She had asked “no, ma not like Barbra Walters” “Non? like…ehmm the girl on the CNN?” “No…not CNN ma, I’ll be following celebrities and reporting their moves” “What you talk? You want be a busybody? Is that what you say? A busybody?” “No ma, it’s not busybody it’s Celebrity Reporting…it’s like the sports reporting, the money reporting but I do Celebrity. Ce-le-bri-ty Reporting Ma..” I had answered exasperatedly “Celebrity….Reporting.. busybody…same thing. Both go place is not your business, tell things that do people no good. Causing trouble everywhere. Why, Oh why you do this to me? ”She had gone on to tell me about the trouble THEY (mother and father) had gone in ensuring their children had a better life than they did…a good education which will later lead to a good job. “Not Busybody, be have to be a doctor, a lawyer…anything, if you want be even president… I’ll accept that but no busybody” but stood firm.She had left angrily that day but the next day, she came over and handed me a check “If busybody no work, you go back to school. God… he give you good brain but not to do busybody”. We sat there thinking of how to break the news to our loved ones that we had failed…. Then it hit me….Of course….The Check! Why didn’t we think of that? We’ll use the check to get the Jolie-Pitt baby pictures and when we sell it, we’ll get our money back and more. It was brilliant. We picked up our bags and headed for New York. We found the building where it was all going down. We could barely contain our excitement when we were led into the offices. We saw the other reporters and we all felt some pride…we were with the big leagues now. We were sequestered into separate and un-air-conditioned offices, and The photos were shown to us around 10 p.m. to midnight, and then we had to submit bids by 6 a.m.The Pictures we absolutely stunning and we knew this was our chance. No, we were not ready to wait until 6a.m. Confidently, I got up and in a very authoritative tone I said “We’ll take it. Who should I make the check payable to?” I whipped out my check book and sent a special thank you to my mother.“No..that’s not how it’s done. You have to BID”“My Good man, I don’t have time to BID…I have pictures to buy, magazines to print AND money to collect. You, know what…why don’t we do this. I’ll write you the check for everything I have in my bank account and I get the picture” I said, scribbling my John Hancock on the check.“Well, I must say…this is highly irregular…I guess that won’t be a problem” the poor man stammered.Of course it’s not a problem I thought as I handed him the check. I looked at my colleagues, they were smiling…giddy with joy. This was IT for us.“Ehmm…I think you are missing a few zeros here” The man said handing me back my check.“What?…Let me see that?” I looked at the check. What was he talking about…I counted the Zeros after the 5…1.2.3. Yeah that was right. I looked at him and I could see a telltale of a smirk in his eyes….was he making laughing of us?“Surely you did not think you would get the pictures for $5,000…whose baby do you think this is..Paris Hilton?”“What? Are you telling me someone will bid more than $5,000?” I sputtered “Which Magazine did you say you were with again?” he asked giving me a suspicious look.“Scoop McSneak” I answered proudly.“Hmm..Yeah. Never heard of It. Now I’m going have to tell you to leave”“Wait a darn second. Why do we have to leave?” I asked…almost shouting“Well because technically you are out of the bidding game”That made no sense, I looked at my friends and I saw they were as confused as I was.“What do you mean we are out of the game? We never started the game”“If that’s all you have, then you are out. People Please, we are talking about the Jolie Pitt baby here…THE JOLIE- PITT and you walk in here with a measly $5.000. Bidding for the pictures will probably start at 500,000 and may go up to $5,000,000”$500,000?! $5,000,000 The numbers reverberated in my ears. Holy smokes! We knew these were important people but we didn’t realize JUST how important. $5, 000, 000!“Oh don’t feel so bad, yours isn’t the only third rate magazine that didn’t make the cut…In Touch Magazine didn’t either” the man said as he walked to the door. That gave us a little comfort. He opened the door and said “now If you’ll please leave”He didn’t have to tell us twice. We picked up our suitcases and walked out of with as much dignity as we could muster.In less than five seconds, we found ourselves back on the streets of New York… we had lost. No pictures, no scoop and no money, all because we had given up our exclusive scoop for free.It was ironic that we had better luck in Nambia…which was thousands of miles away, than we did in New York.Wait a sec….Well that was it. We’ll go to NAMIBIA. Yes, SNOOP MCSNEAK CELEBITY magazine isn’t out of the running, we tried to do things in the proper way and what did we get for it…A BIG FAT NOTHING.I looked at my friends and Said “Come on Snoop McSneak Gang….we going to Namibia….”What will happen dear readers? Will the gang get their exclusive? Will Mickey finally get the chance to beat some Razzi ass? Whatever happened to the telescopic 9000? Will Maddox Stick his Tongue at us, Will little Z gives us her regal look…Tune in for next installment. of “Chasing Shiloh Jolie-Pitt”
#524So MickeyG . Your morals are that you only care about the children in your country. Who would follow you and your subjective caring of life. Only those haters who only know how to hate. Most goodwill smart loving people would never follow you.
# 537 | anonAngelina has had men and women want her for all the wrong reasons … She was waiting for someone who wanted her for the right reasonsPreach on my sista!
…Tune in for next installment. of “Chasing Shiloh Jolie-Pitt” # 538 | HEAD SNOOP MCSNEAK| Oh I cant wait for the next exciting episode!!!!!!!! Love me some Snoop……
# 514 | Eva thanks very much attention-seeking troll…now shoo ***** and go bite your doggie biscuit..
Jared please help stop the craziness in here. it’s one thing to post a differing opinion but this is out of hand. both sides need to cool down. this is sickening. i just come here to relax after a long day and this place is becoming insane. i liked this site because all the others were ones where everyone spewed hatred at everyone else. I don’t want this site to become like perez hilton. sad to say but i think it is becoming like perez. Jared this your personal blog, is there anyway you could control the people who come in here and write this hatred. Both fan and non fans are getting out of hand. I think Jared getting popular was a mixed blessing. To all the newcomers, you should know that we all love Jared’s site because he keeps this site clean for the most part and because we get to talk to people from all around the world. don’t reduce this site to trash. PLEASE.
# 540 | Maniston | - Hey Maniston, this is my new name now, a troll was using my regular name earlier, so I decided to change it up a little
I can’t believe all the filthy and vile crap being posted tonight. Don’t you anti-BAMZS have a life? WHY DO YOU KEEP REPEATING THE SAME LIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN? WHY CAN’T YOU ACCEPT REALITY? Brad said today at the press conference that they came to Namibia to get some peace that they could not get at home. LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE. I DO NOT CARE FOR JA BUT I DO NOT CALL HER NAMES AND REPEAT LIES ABOUT HER. SHE IS NO ANGEL YOU DELUSIONAL IDIOTS, NO ONE IS!! I LIVE MY LIFE AND LET OTHERS LIVE THEIRS. NONE OF YOU WERE MARRIED TO BRAD PITT! STOP THIS INSANITY! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MINDS B/C PICTURES OF BRAD AND ANGIE TOGETHER HAVE NOW APPEARED? THEY ARE TOGETHER AND WILL STAY TOGETHER AS LONG AS THEY DECIDE TO DO SO. MOVE ON, JA FILED FOR DIVORCE, SHE HAS MOVED ON. IF YOU ARE JA FANS YOU WILL CAUSE A WORLDWIDE BACKLASH AGAINST HER B/C PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD READ BLOGS AND THEY SEE A LOVING COUPLE WITH CHERISHED CHILDREN. THEIR OPINION OF JA FOR MANY IN THE WORLD IS THAT SHE IS NOT SOMEONE THEY WILL LIKE AND FEW WILL SUPPORT HER MOVIES BECAUSE OF THE BEHAVIOR OF HER RABID RANTING FANS. IS THIS THE OUTCOME YOU JA FANS WANT? KEEP UP THIS FOUL BEHAVIOR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO JA’s CAREER! MOST MONEY IN MOVIES IS NOW MADE OUTSIDE THE US AND THAT’S WHY JA IS IN AUSTRALIA. ANGIE AND BRAD ARE HUGE INTERNATONAL STARS AND ARE ALSO HELPING THOSE IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE LITTLE OR NOTHING. THEY ARE ADMIRED, JA IS MOSTLY UNKNOWN. I hope Brad sues the Nat Enq and shuts it down. They always print lies and everyone who has sued them ALWAYS WINS! Shiloh looks just like Brad with Angie’s lips. Brad has very good lawyers and I hope they go after the Nat Enq and any and all the rags who print this lie with a vengence. It’s time that someone did.
# 543 | jjoy | - lol
537 i couldn’t have said it better. And Brad is that man. They look even happier now than in MMS. Both of their dreams came true.They’ve been blessed for all the good things they have done for others.
Anelina has had men and women want her for all the wrong reasons … She was waiting for someone who wanted her for the right reasons… # 537 | anon | EXACTLY… SOO TRUE. THEY BOTH HAVE FOUND WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR IN EACH OTHER. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING.
# 478 | omg WOWWWSAA!!!! Smokin HOT!!!I need a COLD shower! Y’all should have warned me aboutthat kiss! No wonder Angie was saying Brad was a great kisser! OOOOOOOHHH!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NInFkl2KOj0
