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]

# 67 | think positive! | - ITA, she is an *******# 64 | anon85 | - Don’t pay any attention to bla, I think she got herself mixed up with Angie, for I she is the biggest **** in her town
The real hmmmmm!! #71Jennifer Aniston has never been and never will be my favorite actress! I have never even seen one episode of friends. Just because I don’t like some of the things Angelina does, doesn’t mean that Jennifer is my favoriteactress.
# 57 | bla Why can’t you go back to the poisonous site that spawned you? What do you get out of making such comments. You’re really kind of sad.Like a little girl looking for attention. Holding her breath, stomping her feet and screaming rude and filthy slanderous words to discredit a couple who’ve done nothing to you.To: the Original HmmmmmMy hmmm… has 3 m’s and 3 …I wasn’t trying to poach honest…I’m sorry.
I think Angie looks better with a little more weight on her. She looks really good in these pictures. I don’t like her too skinny!
I think they’re more married now than I ever did before. I’m absolutely convinced that they are husband & wife.I don’t know how long they’ve been so, or why they aren’t sharing the info, and this is not some wishful thinking on my part because I’m no longer a person who feels a certificate must validate a committment. Nope, this is about my gut screaming that Angelina & Brad are very "legally" married.jpf
I think they might be trying to throw us off of the wedding. My guess is they WILL marry after the adoption is finalized.
guys can someone tell me when were these pics made of angie and brad please write backangie 4 life!
Don’t worry Alexanderina, bla is just pissed because her crabs infestation is getting worse.
New moms can be sexy! don’t hate. :D They look wonderful.
Thank you Jared. You are better at getting the news and pix than those entertainment shows! People Magazine might be calling you soon. Angie is just glowing! So BEAUTIFUL! And Brad…the Proud Papa. So many BAMZS threads, this must be the unofficial BAMZS Week! With so many pictures of this beautiful family, who has time to read the garbage spewing from those rediculous X fans. Not to mention that bitter *****, Lainey, going on and on about some ‘conspiracy.’ Must be on some topnotch crack. To imagine that Brad and Angie, back in Namibia, anxiously awaiting to see what TBU does at the box office so they can decide whether to release Shiloh’s pix, or not, so as to upstage the X, again. Never mind that these ‘exclusive’ pix will bring a lot of money to charities, rather than lining the pockets of some photog. LOVE TO BAMZS
I think Bla, like my name, now the ***** is using it, good for us enjoy it.
Oh what a lovely couple and they are so happy. Little Shiloh Nouvel is as beautiful as we all expected. health and happiness always to the Jolie-Pitts
When people don’t agree with me…. I love to go on to personal attacks… that’s just how I am…
She looks great- a beautiful nursing mother. Yes, a woman’s breasts get larger when her milk comes in and she feeds her baby human milk. That is what breasts are for ok? Get over the boobs . What a peaceful looking mama!
# 72 the real titaLainey had no idea that the Jolie-pitts were going back to California this weekend. That’s why they released the baby pics, not becuase of you know who. Everyone knew that the baby pics would come out before they came back home. You win some you lose some, lainey.
Oh my gosh Jared - LOVE YOU!I broke down and ran out to get MAMS Unrated this morning, have spent the last two hours watching everything. Disc 2 definitely rocks with the making of the movie piece. The gags show just how cute these two are together and the alternate ending - you just have to die over the irony of it all in that the alternate ending has come true.I will be glued to the TV tonight, I just hope I can get my family to leave me alone for 5 minutes. I have to lock myself in another room and watch all the entertainment shows to see the two of them together talking.They look beautiful together.
To: Bla/AlexanderinaGive me a break………that is a normal dress that alot of people wear in the summer when the weather is warm. Which part of the world do u come from?
# 86 ChannelThese are today’s pictures BP and ANGIE first appearence since baby ShilohWatch ET or Extra tonight you will see and hear them speak that is if you live in the US of course.
# 92 | - Oh bla you are just looking for attention, like I said before you personal attacks and you using my name don’t faze me, it just shows what a pathetic person you are.
ahhhh….# 57 | bla - The resident trollOhhh look guys! My good (*snerk*) friend bla is back. where the hell have you been? I missed your snide comments especially when you start insulting people. That really gets me excited! Brings out the Chicago in me. Do you have enough posts aimed at you yet? Did you get enough personal attention yet? If not: Here ya go!HUG ME DAMMIT! nahhh that’s alright they don’t have a cream for the nasty itch and rash your kind leaves behind.
# 68 | bla |Are you dense?It’s ******* Hot in Namibia, She just had a baby and the last thing she wants to feel is uncomfortable. Meanwhile, we have JenJen who flashed us her gaddamn nipples on the tube for ten years. There weren’t six friends on that show, there were seven.Now STFU and go worship your sun worshipper.
Another reason I believe they are is because although the media keeps referring to MAd and Z, this is the first time Brad has referred to them as HIS kids! Who needs an adoption when you marry someone and they sign you up as a legal guardian because the name change has already given them the legal status of being on the same level and receiving same benefits as bilogical kids-also Angie said with Ann Curry WE plan to adopt more-Well WE means me and my husband, otherwise in order for any new adopted kid to be Jolie-Pitt, Brad would have to always do a legal name change and adopt-Think about it! Huvane better call me cause the light in Jen’s star is fading fast!
# 97 | medulla ===================no i dont live in the us do u know how can i see it on the web the video?? please write back
Angie has said she will NOT marry again. Why should she. She’s confident, she has want she wants (Brad) and needs (family). These are progressive, modern people and a license is not going to make them any more a couple or family. It’s what’s in their hearts that fills their needs. BTW, #81 your language is offensive and rude. I enjoy this site, but all this slamming back at each other is STUPID. Do you think the offenders care? They do it to get your reactions. Just let it go PEOPLE. LET IT GO. You only double the vile words with your responses.
Alexanderina, we (bamzs) know which one you are. I guess you have to put the other word in front of your name–real. Come on ppl, at least make yourself authentic names like blah, is that hard to do lmao
