Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins sold to People magazine for a whopping $14 million, a person involved in the negotiations confirmed to The Associated Press. (Earlier this week, JustJared.com exclusively reported the mag’s winning bid was between $10 to $15 million.)

Love Angelina @ 08/02/2008 at 10:24 am

I’m not even going to be able to sleep til I see those two little angels that God has blessed the wonderful Jolie-Pitts with. Those precious babies are truly a gift from God, Our Lord and Saviour. May Knox and Vivi carry on the Saint-like tradition that their parents have begun. Those Jolie-Pitt kids are going to rule the world someday, for they have been given the mightiest gifts that God can bestow upon two innocent lambs. It makes me sad that I myself never had two such lovely babies, but it’s almost like the Jolie-Pitts have blessed us all to watch their beautiful family grow up so publicly. We will all be able to watch as they mature. Godspeed, Jolie-Pitts, keep making miracles for us.

I’m just wondering what if any charities you’d donate to if you were in this positon to give it away?

I still don’t understand why it’s expected that Brad and Angelina alone should save the world. Atheletes make more than Brad and Angelina and people don’t question where there money goes, same for other celebs who lavish themselves but don’t give back. I think anyone who is able to donate to charity and doesn’t is very selfish.

Tabitha,

I’m so sorry… hope you guys are doing OK and PLEASE do take care of yourself. Are you alright after the accident? A friend of mine totaled her car in CA recently, and the airbag DIDN’T deploy! Xray showed she had a pneumonia instead of a broken rib…

Hey irma,
I learned about Tabitha from your post… My hubby is doing well, already bandage off, and playing Nintendo Super Mario right now! I let him be a baby this weekend :) He felt so good after the surgery that he even went to our daughter’s ballet lesson in the same afternoon! And no, his nose shape DIDN’T change at all, unlike you know who had the same surgery. I remember she had some black-blue after her ‘deviated septum’ but my hubby didn’t have any bruise. But again he didn’t have a nose job unlike her LOL!!

hmmm okay. A little overdone but whatever.

I wasn’t able to log onto JJ site yesterday. I’m glad this problem has been fixed. I missed reading all the postings and am waiting to see the pic.

14 Million???? This country has that kind of money and we are wasting it on baby pictures??? You would think they were the second coming

asx @ 08/02/2008 at 7:47 am One of the reasons I admire them so much is the fact that they adopted. I’ll like to adopt myself, but I am afraid for me things are much more complicated than for them…

##########
I personally know a number of single women who have adopted children from overseas (I am in the U.S.). Noneof these women are wealthy that I am aware of. They are professional women and some eventually married or partnered.

If you are getting a Ph.D. then I am sure you will be capable of navigating any adoption process. There is money available to assist in such adoptions. There are even tax provisions that can be of help. I do hope you will wait until you are more settled and financially sound. Since when did anyone need to be rich to have a family?

With all due respect you need to spend your time researching on line the agencies and the adoption community. There is a multitude of adoption communities online with discussions about every aspect of adopting and family life after the adoption.

Everyone in the process contributes to these forums and discussion groups with posts as well as their own web sites. Even the adoptees themselves contribute and share their experiences as they became part of their new families. For example, many of them speak of the positive feelings they experienced when the family adopted another child of their race or ethnicity. This is exactly what Jolie was talking abot when she discussed adopting another child from Africa so Zee could see herself in another member of the family. It is a common discussion point among adopted families and adoptees themselves.

There is also a wealth of information about adopting from agencies to the U.S. State Department as well as the indiviudal countries and the state governments. It can be a daunting and thorough process but it should be. Adopting a child is a serious matter and not to be treated as if it is the latest trend. Jolie once discussed how she learned as a child that there were children in the world without mothers and that revelation inspired her to want to give them a home and the kind of love that is hard to find in an orphanage or on the streets. That’s a lovely motivation. If you truly want to adopt a child then you will find the wherewithal to accomplish your goal.

By the way, Jolie supports a number of orphanages which in turn make adoption of healthy children possible. She also established and 100% funded a foundation/organization that supports unaccompanied minors who come to the U.S. She helped get enacted into law the first piece of legislation that helps these children protect their rights and provides all kinds of assistance for them. This also assists minors find homes and their place in the world.

Good luck.

Woops, spoke to soon, apparently post 200 thinks they really are!!!
You are not going to be able to sleep??? R U kidding me!!! Saint like tradition???? Rule the World??? Make miracles for us??? Those babies are not miracles, and they certainly did not make them for us!!

What delusional planet are you from? Look, it sounds like you have already been up for a couple of days, do us all a favor and go to sleep and when you wake up, read your post and you’ll realize you need to get a life, not People Magazine.

…hahaha…jared said people magazine bought the twins…now, what praytell will they do with some babies?…hahahaha…they bought shiloh too but, she was too much trouble so, they gave her back…hahahahahaha

The troll better watch out or their name will be flipped and they end up talking to themselves. Just a suggestion.

MESSAGE TO BRANGELINA: BRAD, YOU ARE JUST A LAPDOG! ANGIE, YOU ARE NOT A SAINT! TRY ADOPTING KIDS FROM RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU USELESS PIECES OF GARBAGE! YOU LIKE CHARITY, RIGHT? CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME! THERE ARE KIDS HERE WHO NEED LOVING FAMILIES. YOU WANT TO SAVE SOMEONE AND GET THAT SOCCER TEAM YOU WANT SO MUCH? STOP KISSING THE UN’S ASS AND ADOPT A KID FROM AMERICA! OH AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, TRY DOING IT FOR THE SAKE OF HELPING AND NOT JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE CAMERAS AROUND!

Dayum! No, I’m not the Jared from this site. At the risk of getting something thrown at me, I agree with Etiene. Why not adopt from here?

Then again, what’s the point, right? I mean, if they adopt an American child, the paps won’t care and they won’t get any publicity.

Well it’s not your money so stop with your fake concern .. J-Lo gets 6 million, Mathew M 3 m., so are Nicole and Jessica Alba but nobody gave a **** but when it’s Angelina Jolie it is as if the other those people who sold their baby pics didn’t exist.

Why I am bothering to address your post is a mystery to me since it is another example of deliberate obtuseness. But I do hate ignorance and misinformation.

The house is part of large estate and enterprise which includes a successful vineyard, recording studio, spa, some type of inn and a lot of land. The entire estate and business is worth about the amount you quote but not the house itself they are merely renting. It is a large but simple looking manor house. There is nothing particularly fancy about it - even with a pool. Almost none of those properties are fancy by U.S. standards. You would probably be shocked if you ever visited those type of homes in Europe. I’d be surprised it even had air conditioning. The beauty and allure of these homes is the architecture and history, not all the fancy extras we in the US have become accustomed to even in middle class homes in the suburbs.

oops, spoke too soon, looks like post #200 believes they really are the second coming. You are kidding me right, you are not going to sleep until you see the pictures?? Saint like tradition??? Rule the world??? Mightiest gifts that God can bestow? Keeping making miracles for us???

Look, it sounds like you have already been up for a couple of days so I would suggest you get some sleep. When you wake up, read your post and instead of spending your $$ on a people magazine to see the little Lambs, might I suggest spending in on therapy instead?? If not, at least some over the counter sleeping pills. For goodness sakes, there are some nut jobs out there. I think they might spend the 14 Million getting a restraining order against you.

tabitha @ 08/01/2008 at 8:26 pm Thanks Jared for the new thread. It will be interesting to see if the twins favor one parent more.

Today has not been a good day for me. My husband got laid off from work. I got sleepy while driving and wounded up hitting another car after dozing off for a few seconds. Not sure if my car will be able to get repaired.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I’m so sorry to hear about your troubles. Did your husband have any idea about the lay off, were they are rumors? I hope he finds something soon. I hope your car will be able to be repaired, having to purchase a car probably isn’t your first choice right now.

It’s a brilliant rollout strategy by People. They get massive hits on their website–no chance of leaks because they control when the pictures go online. They’ll show just enough to get people to buy the magazine. They’ll more than earn back their investment.

Oh, great. A xenophobic right wing lunatic. And to make sure we didn’t miss her racist garbage she shouts at us in all caps.

Shouldn’t you be over at Rush Limbaugh’s forum, mon cheri?

Good morning all fans! It was hard getting back on this site last night. I gave up.

I expect that the Jolie Pitt family is doing well and enjoying time out of the limelight. The world moves on as should everyone. I caught a glimps of grandpa Voight on TV and he seemed kind of annoyed at answering a question (rude reporters) about his daughter and Brad but he did mention that it was surprising that she has this many children because she never really played with dolls as a child. How would he know? According to some old interviews, Angelina’s godfather, actor Maximiliian Schell used to give Angelina a new doll as a gift for her birthday every year. Speaking of godparents, I wonder if Jacqueline and Maximillian have seen any of the children besides Maddox?

What compassion, kind, morally upright varmint you are!

Poor kids in America get welfare (our tax and the Jolie Pitt’s tax money). The Jolie Pitt pays tax, load more than you and I so they have taken care of these kids already. They, unlike the government, don’t force you to contribute in their charity efforts. It’s their money, they can do as they damn please, to whomever they want.

I have tried to point this out time and again to those who keep screaming about adopting from the US: Did they question Steven Spielberg, Meg Ryan, Ewan Macgregor and James Caviezel who all adopted from other countries??? Of course not, it’s just Brad and Angelina who are always set up to different standards.

This family is so beautiful. I can’t wait to see them.

***************************************************************************

Wanting people to adopt from the U.S. is right wing? Are you new? Where do you get that! And where do you get that what I said is racist? How many different kinds of an idiot are you, anyway? And if you’re going to speak French, honey, you need to learn about the masculine and feminine, because you just made a grand ass of yourself. And not just for the misuse of your French.

My goodness I had no idea that this was a government sponsored purchase. Sort of like the Louisiana Purchase I imagine.

Who said the US Government didn’t know how to spend its money.

Oh, and the notion that somehow the magazines get a tax deduction for giving the money directly to the JP Foundation - these magazines are businesses. Every business related penny they spend is tax deductible. I’m not a tax expert but a business expense comes directly off their gross income while a charitable deduction would offer a more limited financial benefit to them as a deduction on only a portion of their net - not gross - income. Just wondering. Any tax experts here? Is there some tax twofer at work here?

What a twit YOU are!

The Jolie Pitts pay taxes? The Jolie Pitts do their bit? Whoop dee doo! You don;t get a prize for paying taxes and “doing your bit” is what’s expected of everyone.

Meanwhile, thousands, THOUSANDS of kids are in the system, in orphanages and foster homes, many of them horribly abused and most of them without any hope of finding a family. I’m sure that those kids are thrilled that the Jolie Pitts have adopted out of country. It must give them real hope that they too will find a home.

And yes, before you say it, I have adopted three AMERICAN children. So stick that in your bong and smoke it.
