Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, with their kiddies in tow, have returned to the US en masse for the first time since the twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon were born back on July 12 (ahem, which is my birthday as well ;). Angelina is planning to walk the red carpet at the New York Film Festival this weekend so she decided to pack up all the kids and temporarily relocate the fam to New York. Here are pics of Brad, Ange, Zahara Marley, Shiloh Nouvel and either Vivienne or Knox (presumably Maddox and Pax were with them as well) sneakily making their way into their Manhattan hotel last night:

The Jolie-Pitt bunch is back in the U.S.A. For the first time since the birth of twins Vivienne and Knox, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in New York City with their kids. Jolie plans to walk the red carpet at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 4 for the premiere of her movie The Changeling, a 1920s-set thriller directed by Clint Eastwood. The couple and their six children set up house last month in a lakeside villa in Berlin, where they are living while Pitt films Quentin Tarantino’s World War II thriller Inglorious Bastards. Pitt, 44, missed the German premiere of his movie Burn After Reading on Oct. 1 to accompany Jolie, 33, back to the States.

It’s unclear how long the Jolie-Pitts plan to stay in the US but I would guess they’re here for some time. I don’t know that Angelina would bring the entire family to NYC if she wasn’t planning on sticking around for a while (after all, she could’ve flown in for the film festival all by herself). While I’m sure the Brangelina brood have been enjoying their time in France, I think it’s great that they’ve returned home to the US, even if for a short time. Welcome home, y’all.

Here they are, the most talked about set of twin babies on planet Earth right now, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt making their worldwide debut (reportedly to the tune of $14 million bucks) on the cover of People magazine:

They are just 3 weeks old, but twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline are about to take the world by storm. In an exclusive interview and photos, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie offer PEOPLE an intimate look at their growing family. “It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time,” Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple’s four older children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 – have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château’s sprawling grounds. Adds Pitt: “[It's] still a cuckoo’s nest.” Fortunately, they already have some household helpers. “[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them,” says Jolie. “It’s sweet – they are little mommies.”

The magazine will devote 19 pages of Brangelina family photos in this double-issue of the magazine which should be now available for purchase on newstands. I find it interesting that Shiloh Nouvel, the firstborn child of Brangelina, is also featured on the cover of the mag without any mention of any of the other adopted children. HMMM. In any event, the first photo is finally out and folks can now snap up issues of People magazine to get their fix of the Brangelina twins to their heart’s content. After the jump, check out the cover of Hello! magazine which features a different photo of the twins as they make their international debut … (more…)

Set your clocks and calendars, y’all … People.com has announced that they will release the first official photo of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, better known as the Brangelina twins, online this Sunday evening at 7pm ET:

I guess the rumors that People magazine shelled out the big bucks for the first photos of the twins are true … and I understand that the kids were photographed last week and the publication rights will be split between People in the US and Hello magazine in Europe. Where will you be come 7pm ET this Sunday night?

Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice, France, addressed the assembled press on the steps of the Fondation Lenval hospital this morning to officially announce the birth of Nice’s newest and most famous twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt who were born in his city yesterday. Mayor Estrosi showed off the birth certificates (les acte de naissance) to the press with excitement and pride:

They’re here, officially: On Sunday, Mayor Christian Estrosi of Nice, France, presented one of the birth certificates of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins on the steps of Nice’s Fondation Lenval hospital, where son Knox Léon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline were born Saturday. The typed certificate revealed that Knox was born at 6:27 p.m. on July 12. Sister Vivienne came within a minute of that time, Dr. Michel Sussmann tells PEOPLE. The document also showed the Mayor’s signature, as well as Pitt’s initials, the letters WBP representing his full name, William Bradley Pitt. The mayor entered the hospital at 3:24 p.m. to oversee the signing, telling PEOPLE, “It’s a pride to Nice and all its citizens.” Knox is the 3,702 registered birth certificate in Nice for 2008. In welcoming the twins, Estrosi told reporters, “On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple of the world who have chosen our city for this happy event.”

Clearly, the Mayor of Nice is very excited to claim the Jolie-Pitt twins as his own. After the jump, check out a close up of Knox Léon’s birth certificate … (more…)

Woot! It’s official! Angelina Jolie did, in fact, give birth to her twin babies on Saturday July 12 in Nice, France just like In Touch Weekly reported. Despite the fact that they incorrectly reported that Angelina gave birth to twin girls, they were the first media outlet to report that she had given birth on July 12. US Weekly quickly “confirmed” that In Touch was correct in reporting the birth but then not only recanted on their “confirmation” as soon as Extra TV reported the new was false but they removed their original report from their website (they’ve since put the news back on their site now that the news has been officially confirmed). The scoop and kudos belongs to In Touch alone. Early this morning in Nice, France, Angelina Jolie’s doctor gave a press conference with the official news of the twins’ birth:

The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy. The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie’s partner, actor Brad Pitt, “are doing marvelously well.” Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night. He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed 5.03 pounds and the girl 5 pounds. Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France. “Everything is going well,” said Sussmann. “The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well.” He said the Cesarian was moved forward from its originally planned date “for medical reasons” so that the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” Sussman did not give details. He said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

Amazing, amazing news! Brangelina’s twins, Vivienne and Knox, were born on MY BIRTHDAY :) That’s pretty cool, I think. I was in the midst of enjoying my birthday celebration a few hours ago when I got word that the twins’ birth was officially announced. I thought it would be kinda cool to share my birthday with the famed golden children … and I was right :) Welcome to the world, twins … we’ve been expecting you!!!

It occurred to me — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now the parents of 6 children: 3 girls, 3 boys, 3 adopted children and 3 biological children. Could the Brangelina Bunch be any more perfect?

Here we go again … In Touch Weekly is reporting that Angelina Jolie gave birth to twin girls at 6pm local time in Nice, France today:

Sources at the La Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, have revealed exclusively to In Touch that Angelina Jolie has given birth to her twins. According to insiders, the 33-year-old had a cesarean today at 6pm French time and delivered two girls. The first baby was born at 6:45 pm and the other at 7pm. The babies are in good health, another insider says. Sources say Brad was present during the birth. When contacted by In Touch, the hospital’s spokesperson, Nadine Bauer, said that journalists would not be notified ”within minutes” after the birth and that the only way they would be told was by a press release posted on the hospital Web site. Another insider adds that Angelina is expected to leave the hospital with her newborns within 48 hours. Angelina checked into the seafront hospital earlier this month in anticipation of the twins arrival.

If true, this is amazing news — it would mean that Brangelina’s twin babies and I will share the same birthday!!! Of course, this report must be taken with a grain of salt, we’ve already been thru one erroneous report of the Brangelina twins. More deets if and when they become available …
