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.

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. |
