Brangelina still dominates headlines
Angelina Jolie will announce today on Anderson Cooper’s show that Brad Pitt and her will adopt another child after having given birth to Shiloh Nouvel. The article writes:
“We don’t know which … country. But we’re looking at different countries. And we’re–I’m just–it’s gonna be the balance of what would be the best for Mad and for Z right now. It’s, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids,” she explained, referring to her adopted kids Maddox and Zahara.

But before you begin to think about child number four, you might want to mitigate the situation you’ve created in Namibia due to birth of child number three, Angelina. Apparently charities in Namibia are quite pissed off that Brangelina took advantage of the remoteness of the country. The article states:
Namibia’s National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) branded the couple “colonial overlords” and accused them of taking over the African country when Shiloh Nouvel was born this month.
Perhaps they’ve forgotten the positive press coverage the country has gotten because of Brangelina? Nevertheless, the human rights group continue:
An NSHR spokesman said: “To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power.” The human rights campaigners claim Angelina and Brad “used heavy-handed and brutal tactics” to persuade the Namibian government to agree to their demands.
Do these “heavy-handed and brutal tactics” involve guns and assassination, like their roles in Mr. and Mrs. Smith? One can only imagine. Everything, it seems, revolves around that movie, seeing as Brad Pitt is now advising co-star Vince Vaughn to marry Jennifer Aniston. He even thinks they’re “perfect for each other.” The article reads:
“You and Jen are perfect for each other,” he reportedly said, according to an insider cited by Life & Style. “You should get married.”
Apparently Vince could foresee the troubles ahead while filming the movie. The article adds:
Vince was Brad’s wingman in the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith and at one time it was reported that Vince had told Brad to be cautious as he believed Angie and Brad were getting too close on the set.
The reported quote from Vince to Brad was “go home to your wife.”
You’ve got good intentions, Vince, but too little, too late.

And most spectacular of all, given all this publicity, what do the pair want to do? Build a 200-foot wall around their Malibu home to protect their kids! A source has said:
Brad wants to make the home secure for the baby and Angelina. They don’t want people seeing in.
Don’t believe me? How about additional reports that they’ve met with builders to discuss the 200-foot high wall in front of their cliff top, beach front home? We’ve learned the following juicy detail:
Mr. Pitt and Mrs. Jolie met builders last week to discuss the daft plan. At its tallest section the wall would stretch upwards from the beach.
This is after we’ve reported that there are huge curtains surrounding the home, making it virtually impossible for photographers to catch a glimpse of the family except if they brave the waves.
What can we anticipate next? Will Angelina buy an island in the middle of the Pacific to escape? Or maybe they can rent a room on the International Space Station, where there are currently only 3 astronauts to bother them. The possibilities are endless.
Update: For those who weren’t able to watch Angelina Jolie’s interview with Anderson Cooper about World Refugee Day, there are some short excerpts available online at CNN.com. Here are the links:
- Angelina Jolie on Namibia (and having her baby there)
- Angelina Jolie on her charity work
And Gawker has a play-by-play synopsis of the two-hour interview, if you’re so inclined to read what seems mostly their reactions to what is said, rather than the substance of the interview.
