They faked us out once before, so we'll be super careful in announcing that allegedlyAngelina Jolie checked into a hospital yesterday to go on bed rest before she gives birth to the latest Super World Travelers, the twins she is expecting with Brad Pitt.
The babes, reportedly twin girls, will have dual French citizenship because she's currently resting in L'Hopital Lenval in Nice.
"Entertainment Tonight" led the charge in late May to declare that the twins, reportedly due in August, had already been born. Turned out it was just a rumor, possibly spread by an ex-Super Traveler sidekick (er, assistant). This time it was the French media's turn to jump the gun on the planned expansion to America's real first family. But if she were just there for a checkup, would her obstetrician be giving a press conference? We think not!
They enrolled the kids in schools there. One of them worked there. And rumor had it they were going to get married there. But nothing can hold Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie back from what they were born to do: crisscross the globe.
That's why after 2 years, the Super World Travelers and their brood have sold their New Orleans home and, Pied Piper-style, have drawn the paparazzi presence around them to France.
The couple had become involved in post-Katrina rebuilding efforts in New Orleans, dedicating their names and money if not their time. But maybe Angelina wanted a more secluded location, like southeast France, for when she finally gives birth to her expected twins?
Good luck putting that in your checked bag: Brad Pitt toured Art Basel in Switzerland yesterday and dropped over $1 million on art. Apparently the brand new soon-to-be father has a bit of the nesting impulse; chief among his purchases was a $293,000... table.
He also picked up a lamp and some chairs. (You can feast your eyes here.)
It's easier to bring giant art in through the airport than, say, perfume in a four-ounce bottle bought outside security. But you might want a refresher on duty-free rules. Not that Super World Travelers need to handle that kind of thing--they have staff.
ZOMG, bigger news than the SATC release! ET reports that Angelina Jolie has given birth to her twins Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane. The Super World Traveler finds herself in France, which we'd say is substantially less exotic than Namibia.
Still, those names!
Dad Brad Pitt and Jolie just took out a lease on a massive estate in the south of the country, so maybe that means they'll be sticking around for a bit. The property, the Chateau Miraval, is just a bit east of Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, a great jumping off point for trips to the island of Corsica.
NB:Maybe this is all just a crazy rumor! Except for, you know, the stuff about the south of France.
Angelina Jolie made it to the Cannes Film Festival this week with a little extra, shall we say, carry-on luggage: The actress's co-star in the forthcoming animated film "Kung Fu Panda," Jack Black, accidentally let it slip that, as tabloids have been predicting for months now, the Jolie-Pitt clan is expecting two new family members. Doesn't she look great, though?
While Jolie and Brad Pitt have stayed mum on the pregnancy, they are expected to announce tomorrow in an interview with the Today show the due date of the newest Super World Travelers. Jolie bore her first biological child, Shiloh Nouvel, in Namibia--to which remote country will she travel for twins?
They were in good company, with Eva Mendes, Jason Bateman, Tobey Maguire and Kurt Russell also in attendance.
While JT and Jessica certainly looked dapper, it was Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen whose outfits got the most attention. The twins wore terrifying white masks straight out of "Eyes Wide Shut." That pic's after the jump.
Despite the claims of some lesser tabloids, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not get married this weekend in New Orleans. However, the minister who allegedly wed them wants the Super World Travelers to know, they can stop by any time to tie the knot!
"We're glad they're neighbors," says Tony Talavera, co-owner (with his wife) of the French Quarter Wedding Chapel. Brangelina may or may not be adding another baby or two to their brood, depending on whether you believe their publicists or Angelina's rounded-in-that-baby-kind-of-way stomach.
While rumors swirl that soccer parents Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are plotting a summer wedding, Jolie, and her obvious baby bump, were busy boarding a private plane in Smithville, Texas yesterday. From the photos she actually looks to be thinking about piloting the plane herself. She does have her pilots license right?
It is doubtful she actually flew this tiny plane, but looking at the photos there is little doubt she flew in it. We all know flying while pregnant can be totally fine, but there are some precautions those preggos who are not certified Super World Travelers might want to take:
Talk with your midwife/doctor/practitioner. If you are past the 36-week mark, the airlines have the right to turn you away, though you can always fly charter. Try to do most of your travel in the second trimester--for the sake of your own comfort. Avoid excessive flying. Book seats with more leg room. Avoid travel to countries that would require immunization.
These are not hard and fast rules, just suggestions, or, if you are a Super World Traveler, do whatever you damn well please. What's in Smithville anyway? The UFOs, she should know, were in Stephenville.
