Brad Pitt Cut The Umbilical Cord!
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, center, holds the birth certificates of one of Angelina Jolie’s twins, Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, as he and Dr. Michel Sussmann, Angie’s obstetrician, left, pose for the media, at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, southern France on Sunday. Knox was born at 6:27 pm and Vivienne Marcheline came within a minute of that time.
Outside the hospital, Sussmann shared how smoothly the delivery of Knox and Vivienne went:
On Brad and Angie during the labor and delivery: “[They] were talking, they were together. It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.”
On Brad never leaving Angie’s side: “He was my assistant! [He even cut the babies' umbilical cords!] He was … perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.”
On when Angie and the babies will leave the hospital: “I don’t know. She 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.”
On the delivery in general: “Absolutely no problems. The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine.”
FYI: Inside is a close-up of the Knox’s birth certificate…

sam @ 07/13/2008 at 6:56 pm The beautiful and classy Jennifer Anniston is too busy having multiple orgasms with her hot sexy young boyfriend to care that the unmarried Angie Jo had her children surgically removed in a country not her own while Bradley Boo cried like a nancy girl.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That’s all that Jennifer can do at present coz all of the paps and cameras have left the US and are all camped out in Nice.
Gosh, Jen must be kicking herself. She has always wanted fame and if she had realised all that it would take was to pop a few babies out then she might have suffered losing her figure just to get this amount of media attention.
You have really missed the boat Jen. Just think you could have been on the cover of every magazine and newspaper in the world!!
Thanks JJ;)
it took 12 days before we saw People’s first pic of Shiloh, so maybe we’ll see pix of the twins around the 24th?

Thank you thank you thank you for posting the above pic……I LOVE IT!…….put a curly wig on her and she’s Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company!!! LMAO!!!!!!!…..Poor John Mayer…
…I’ve been enjoying seeing everyone’s comments of congratulations to our favorite couple on the birth of the precious newborn twins, Knox Le’on and Vivienne Marcheline…..
Knox Le’on sound like a definite ‘tough-guy’ name…he’s gonna be a gorgeous bundle of trouble!
Vivienne Marcheline sound like the complete opposite of Knox. Whereas Knox sounds ultra-masculine….Vivienne sounds verrry feminine…just like the name ‘Angelina’ and ‘Shiloh’. I also love that the boys names end in X.
…someone pointed out a couple of threads ago that they knew Angelina was going to have a boy because in the Jerry Pennacolli interview with Extra, she made a comment when talking about thinking about brining the kids to Kung Fu Panda saying “…two of my boys/sons are from that part of the world…”….so it indicated that she had/or was going to have another boy/son…..I also recognized this slip, but made nothing out of it as no one else did….but I see we were right!….
I also noticed that it looks like Brad added the W to the WBP on the birth certificate as PT mentioned…I love his simple signiture. The first and only time I had him sign something for me, it was jarring, cause I didnt know his signiture was so small & simple. After I finished ogling at him, I looked down at my Mr & Mrs. Smith CD which he’d signed and stared at it like…huh?….but I soon realized that this is his trademark signiture and was quite satisfied that I’d gotten it. Angie came along (she looked GORGEOUS in a black spagetti strap dress!) and signed right next to his signiture. She was sooo sweet cause someone behind me tried to place their paper over my MMS DVD so they could get her signiture first, but she went UNDER their paper and signed mine first instead. I just love Angie for that.
…I’m soooooooo happy for Brad and Angie. They deserve all the happiness in the world. I’ve received so much pleasure from seeing their romance and chemistry on screen, from seeing their sexy/Badass movies, and from being enlightened by their humanitarian work. They are very inspiring, and I have contributed to some of their charities based on the info provided by them. They make the world a better place, and show what a true STAR should actually behave like…..
…A TRUE STAR is like sunlight….they bring light and heat to whatever they encounter and illuminate whatever they come into contact with…they dont whine about things….they go out there and try to change them. God Bless the Jolie-Pitts.
we should be happy we have a boy and a girl, its like the boy has made the haters come out. Its like it was ok for two girls but since they have learned that their is a boy their is a certain of jealous going on, but lets keep on praying for jolie pitt family

Jolie twins doctor admits to pre-birth pressure
Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:22am
NICE, France, July 14 (Reuters) - The doctor who delivered Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins over the weekend has admitted to feeling the pressure of dealing with one of the world’s most famous couples.
Oscar-winning actress Jolie gave birth to son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline by caesarean section at the Lenval hospital in the southern French city of Nice late on Saturday.
“For sure,” Michel Sussmann said, when asked on Europe 1 radio whether he was nervous before the operation.
“It wasn’t pressure on a medical level, because I have been practising for a certain number of years, but it’s true that there was pressure due to the couple’s fame.
“I was assisted by a team that was totally competent, so things happened as I wanted them to happen — simply and efficiently.”
Dozens of reporters, cameramen and photographers have been camped outside the Lenval hospital on the glamorous Promenade des Anglais waterfront to report on the birth.
Several U.S. networks added to their ranks on Monday in preparation for a news conference scheduled for Tuesday and the couple’s departure either by road or by air.
Nice Matin newspaper, which broke the news of the birth on Sunday, dedicated several pages to the event in its Monday edition and featured a photograph of Pitt and Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi signing the birth certificates. Continued…
Pitt, 44, was at 33-year-old Jolie’s side for the birth.
Vivienne Marcheline weighed 2.27 kg (5 lbs) and Knox Leon weighed 2.28 kg. Marcheline was the first name of Jolie’s mother, also an actress, who died of cancer last year.
“EXEMPLARY”
Sussmann said Pitt was “perfectly calm” during the operation and that the couple were “an exemplary father and mother.
“People of great simplicity, of great kindness since she is a patient who was totally obedient, very calm, very kind,” he added.
Jolie’s stay at Lenval hospital was far from ordinary, however. She arrived in late June by helicopter from the Provence villa where she and Pitt had been staying with their four other children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.
And according to sources at the hospital, the fifth floor of the building was sealed off for the couple and their entourage.
Nice Matin has reported that the couple sold exclusive rights to the first photographs of the twins to an unnamed U.S. magazine for $11 million and would give the money to charity.
Jolie and Pitt came to a similar arrangement with People magazine in 2006, when it reportedly paid $4.1 million for North American rights to the pictures. Experts estimated worldwide rights to those images were worth $5-7 million.

Angelina Jolie had an eventful weekend welcoming in two new babies and also having twin films in the top ten. Her action thriller Wanted placed fifth with an estimated $11.6M, down 42%, boosting Universal’s cume to $112M. The actress also voiced Tigress in Kung Fu Panda further down on the chart. Jolie has now upped her counts for both children and $100M career blockbusters to six each.

Mark Wahlberg Talks Aronofsky’s The Fighter, The Departed 2 and 3
Posted on Monday, June 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pm by: Hunter
According to Mark Wahlberg, Darren Aronofsky’s The Fighter will begin filming this October. Awesome. You may remember that the film, a biopic on badass pugilist “Irish” Micky Ward, gained considerable traction in the press last year when Wahlberg and others compared it to a “new Raging Bull.” Brad Pitt later signed on to co-star as Ward’s brother/trainer, which was a welcome surprise after his casting debacle on Aronofsky’s The Fountain.
“I’ve been training for two years now. I’m ready,” Wahlberg told MTV. “I want to look like a champ, not a chump. …I want to do [Ward] proud. The guy did everything I wish I could have done. He came from nothing, went on to win the world title with all the odds stacked against him.”
Ward fought throughout the mid-’80s and ’90s, but he’s best remembered for three battles with Arturo Gotti in the early Oughts, two of which went down as the greatest in the history of the sport. Ward lost each one, but, well click here for a surreal refresher. Earlier this year, Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) wrapped up filming on the white trash indie epic, The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke (release date TBA), so if all goes as planned, we’ll be getting one helluva manly double feature to convert us into jittery pacifists. Somebody combine the Requiem for a Dream score with the YouTube link above to induce insta-goosebumps.
this will give nicole kidman pressure for her baby photos they are going to be compared with vivienne like they did with shiloh and suri, i hope this does not happen
Good Morning..

Entire article at link. Sorry Outta Touch, Starless Magazine, US Weakly, ET. Better luck next time.
Now That Angelina Jolie Has Given Birth, Who Are the Winners and Losers of Her Pregnancy Saga?
Counting the bodies
The entertainment press is already fighting with each other over who got the story right. Bauer’s In Touch, which has devoted what seems like every other cover to another Brangelina headline, is claiming the exclusive, being the first to report the news accurately ahead of any other news outlet. That In Touch’s website first reported Jolie gave birth to “twin girls,” then recanted that part of the story, might be of material interest to on-lookers. The magazine, however, will point out that six months ago it reported Jolie was pregnant with both a boy and a girl. (Previously, Star and OK! had reported Jolie was carrying two girls.)
After In Touch posted its report online, Us Weekly quickly “me too’d” with a “confirmation” that Jolie had given birth with its own website article. Then Extra, which had also posted online with the news, recanted its report, leading Us to also pull its story.
It wasn’t long before People posted the “exclusive” news on its website, though its source was Jolie’s doc, Michael Sussmann, who released a statement to the press at large, not just People. So its “exclusive” news wasn’t so much exclusive as it was simply stamped that way.
But once People pushed the story, the other hangers on followed suit; Us and Extra had their stories back online thereafter.
congrats to both lovely couple for the new born babies
love themmmm a lot

Good morning all. Best wishes to BP and AJ and their entire family on the healthy arrival of the twins. I wish the family all the best. In honor of this celebration of lives, support the various charitable projects of BP and AJ. From MIR, Not on Our Watch, Children’s Educational Project, etc etc these are all worthy causes. Thanks for all the updates Just Jared, Our Super Blogger in charge. Peace to all.
Love the names. I saw on another thread that Knox is named after Brad’s grandfather. He has his middle name. Also, I believe that Brad’s sister has twin girls. So it may run in his family. I hope they wait awhile before posting the photos. Shi changed so much that it was hard to recognize her. After the People pictures were published, we really did not see her again until she was around a year. I hate it, but I think they will get the pictures out as soon as possible then hang out at the manor for a few months before returning to the US. Brad has Burn After Reading coming out in August, so he will be doing press on that. I can’t wait to see him and George together. They make me laugh sooo much. The press will probably ask constant questions about the babies. I hope he does some of the mainstream shows this time out. That has been a problem for him, he does not do enough TV shows to promote his movies. He does too many print interviews instead. Movie goers need to see the stars more, not read about them…
Kira @ 07/14/2008 at 1:33 am Wow! Must be the first C-section ever delivered in France….this couple are not royalty as we have none in America, thank you!
———-
True instead you have your trash american princess Paris Hilton making the breaking news in the news air play because of her gangster antics and all of America keeping its breath at the sight of her handcuffed and crying, brought to jail, released prematurely, then brought back to jail, debating on blogs about her sentence and its fairness like it is the number one extreme new erasing even world affairs DURING DAYS !!!
So don’t be hypocrit, Angelina’s birth babies are no where near the fuss that America’s made around your Trash Princess. It was obscene, interrupting real news to put the video of Hilton being hancuffed because the tribulations of a nasty spoiled overs.exed riched fake-blond, fake-blue eyed brat excites and interests the average US citizen more than anything else !
At least, Nice town and not whole of France is treating this new as a joyous one where most people can empathy while feeling a legitimate pride to be somewhat part of the party.
Good thing the entertainment shows were off air weekend.They will cover the birth today on their TV shows.Weekend belonged to the likes of CNN,BBC AND OTHERS.
Recovery: ‘Everything Is Okay’

How is Angelina Jolie feeling two days after the birth of her twins? There was heightened speculation about her health Monday morning after she received a lengthy visit from her obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann.
Sussmann – who delivered Jolie’s son Knox Saturday night at 6:27 p.m., followed by daughter Vivienne one minute later – left his car double parked outside the hospital for more than an hour during the early morning visit.
The obstetrician arrived at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, around 8:50 a.m. in his black Mercedes coupe. Parked partially across a pedestrian crossing, he left the hazard lights flashing as he went inside for more than an hour.
His previous check-up visits have usually lasted around 20 minutes and the doctor normally leaves his car in the underground garage, not double-parked on the road outside.
Later, as Sussmann emerged from the hospital, he tried to allay any fears about Jolie, 33, and her newborns. “They are all very well, very well,” he told PEOPLE exclusively. “Everything is okay.” E-mail | Share
Thanks for all the articles, people. So excited about the birth of the twins. God Bless them.
thank you miz bdj.

I just googled “Celebrities and Charities”. There are many, many celebrities who give a lot of money to charity. Oddly, they don’t do it with a camera in their faces or with publicity, hmmmm.
I am no hater. I don’t know these two. I cannot hate someone I do not know personally. All you people know is what you READ. You all worship two people who wouldn’t stop to give you the time of day. It is disturbing to say the least. Get help.
