Angelina's tatooted arm

Angelina Jolie isn't about to let a bit of needle-inflicted pain stop her from establishing 3-month-old wonder twins Vivienne and Knox as their own distinct little poopie-pantsed people.

Angelina beams as Brad whispers sweet nothings into her ear.

Angelina keeps Brad’s hand firmly suction-cupped to her behind on the red carpet.

New York premiere of "The Changeling," the sublime Oscar winner recently appeared donning a body-hugging black strapless Versace dress that highlighted the new ink indelibly etched on her arm.

Just as she did with tots Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2, Jolie tattooed the geographical coordinates of Vivienne and Knox's birthplace on her upper left limb.

But instead of going the easy route by adding just one line of numbers with, say, an "x 2" at the end, she's had two sets of identical longitudinal and latitudinal digits engraved to mark the double bundles' big debut in Nice, France, on July 12.

"Everybody's great," the actress enthused to "People" magazine as she and a scarf-bedecked Brad Pitt made their first post-twins red carpet appearance together, signing autographs, taking pictures and shaking hands with the hundreds of screeching fans who turned out for the occasion. "The babies are getting big and healthy and developing personalities."

Knox "seems more relaxed," she shared with reporters at a press conference recently (via the London Daily Mirror), while Vivienne is "more loud."

Meanwhile, the tattoos weren't the only thing Angelina, 33, showed off at the premiere. The newly dark-locked, fresh-faced stunner was also styling a slightly more robust figure, a welcome transformation from the rickety frame she sports in "The Changeling" and "Wanted."

Pitt, for his part, appears to be enjoying her curvier silhouette: his hand rested comfortably on her posterior as they did that wax-figure-or-real-thing pose they do so well on the red carpet.

"I run around with all the other kids, and I'm breast-feeding, which I think is a part of your body's recovery," said Jolie of her postpartum routine. "I feel great and very happy that they're healthy."

And despite recent rumours that the admittedly sleep-deprived megastars are already thinking about adding another ankle-biter to the family's rapidly swelling ranks, possibly from Latin America or Namibia, where Shiloh was born, Angelina says they're not quite ready.

"I think we're going to wait a little while," she down played to "People" magazine.

Still, it's clear that Jolie will eventually have enough coordinates to cover up the last remnants of the dragon and the first name of her head-scratching second husband Billy Bob Thornton that once decorated her arm.

"We are going to have more kids one way or another," she added to reporters.

Brad and Angelina's goal for a soccer team-sized clan will likely make carving out kid-free together-time even more difficult than it already is.

"Even if we lock our door, the children come knocking," she laughed at press conference. "We often try to have a bath alone together at the end of the night and sit and talk, but they hear the water and want to jump in."

Crowded tub or no, "It's fun and it's lovely," the actress said. "The thing about having six is once you've passed three or four, it's so crazy anyway that it's just more chaos and it's all OK."The Jolie-Pitts recently relocated to Berlin, where they're reportedly hunkering down in a palatial, $36,000-a-month estate while Brad shoots Quentin Tarantino's war flick, "Inglorious Bastards," although on Monday, they popped up in New Orleans, where they own a $3 million mansion in the French Quarter.

The actor was spotted cruising around on a bike with a notebook emblazoned with the face of Barack Obama in his hand, while Angelina took Pax, Shiloh and Zahara with security guards on a snack run.Not that they're bidding adieu for good to their expansive, rented chateau in the South of France, where they spent the last five months.

"We love France. We'd like to spend more time there again," notes Angelina. "We've got a lot of wonderful friends. We love the air, and the life, and the other children we met. It was a beautiful, beautiful quality of life and beautiful place to live."And unlike some stars who might take such a rarefied existence for granted, she seems to appreciate how lucky she is.

"I feel so blessed that everyday I wake up and I live with my favourite people in the world and my best friend," gushes Jolie. "I live with Brad, who, more than me, has had to deal with fame, so we share that together and we find a way to make it fine and fun."


Talk hits Justin and Jessica

From the moment paparazzi conveniently captured Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel engaging in a passionate interlude on a deserted, moodily lit street in Rome a few days back, those long-simmering engagement rumours have begun to heat up. Now, on the heels of the increasingly PDA-comfortable pair's recent diamond ring purchase, Britain's Sunday People has decided to take the logical next step by claiming the crooner proposed to the well-built actress on the final night of their Italian respite (they were in town for the wedding of Biel's former "7th Heaven" co-star Beverley Mitchell). Jessica supposedly answered in the affirmative without hesitation. "He is besotted with Jessica and wants to make an honest woman of her," a source - apparently right out of the straight-laced '50s - tells the paper. "He planned to propose in Rome because it is such a romantic city.

Jessica is over the moon and looking forward to a huge wedding. She can't wait." Timberlake, who began dating Biel not long after his four-year romance with Cameron Diaz ended in early 2007, has repeatedly brushed off nuptial talk. Still, says the insider, "Justin has grown up a lot in the last couple of years and has decided it is time to settle down." Jessica's rep didn't respond to our request for comment on the question-popping report.
