Angelina Jolie has reportedly been ordered to put on weight for a role in the forthcoming sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair. Producers have asked Angelina to start piling on the pounds in order to star alongside Pierce Brosnan. The fear is she will be as skinny as she was in Wanted.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror,

"Ideally they want Angelina to put on two stone (12.7 kilograms) for the role. It is going to be very physically demanding, which is why they want her to carry the extra weight. They don’t want a reprise of what happened with Wanted, where she was fainting and they had to take her costumes in."

Guess it goes both ways right? Some actresses are told to lose weight and others are told to gain. It does make sense why they would ask her to put on the pounds - for health reasons. If gaining will prevent fainting spells, then I think it's in everyone's best interest.

Who would have guessed? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt supposedly conceived twins, Vivienne and Knox, through in-vitro fertilization. And this is coming from UsWeekly, which is a pretty reliable source.

"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

Angelina's chance of having twins at age 33 is below 1%.

The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."

A source adds: "They were too impatient."

Obviously Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in this together, and they do have help from the grandparents, but when talking about whether or not she has an army of nannies with her at all times, Angelina's co-star says she does it on her own! Jason Butler Harner, co-star from The Changeling says,

"She's calm and has a sense of humor. You would think it takes a village, but it's just her."

Angelina's brother, as well as Brad's parents flew to France for the birth of the twins and will be staying for a while.

"They're sticking around to help everyone get settled into the new routine."

And as for how the rest of the family is doing, an insider says,

"Everyone is so excited about the twins."

 

Over at the Los Angeles Times they seem to think that Angelina Jolie would make the best next Catwoman. But, the papers' readers seem to disagree. Even though she's starred in a ton of action films, they don't want her taking part in the franchise.

Would you like to see Angelina as Catwoman? Personally, I think she'd do a great job!

This crazy couple wants to be reunited, let's just hope it doesn't lead to more limo sex and blood vials. Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie are hoping to work together soon in the near future. Billy Bob said,

"We've talked about it plenty of times. I'm sure we will."

They're just waiting for the right project to come along.

"We want to be really careful that we pick the right one. Maybe a comedy. In other words, we wouldn't want to do another movie about a husband-wife relationship. That probably wouldn't be very good."

What is he saying? If they played husband-wife the chemistry would be too hot to handle?

Angelina Jolie has officially left the hospital one week after giving birth to her twins. The entire family is back together adjusting to the new additions I am sure. 

"Angelina Jolie left the Clinic Santa Maria of Fondation Lenval early in the morning of July 19th," hospital rep Nadine Bauer confirmed to PEOPLE. "The mother and babies are doing very well." 

Only a few photographers were camped outside at 4am Saturday morning so it was a quiet escape.

Photographers had been stationed on nearby roofs of the hospital, hoping that Jolie would leave as she had arrived nearly three weeks ago – by helicopter. 

 

I will NEVER understand this - especially with the Internet being the way it is. But in case you were wondering about the most expensive celebrities baby photos ever sold, here you go:

#1 (RUMORED) -More than $11 million – Knox Leon & Vivienne Marcheline (Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie)

According to the AP, the first pictures of the newborn twins to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly worth more than $11 million dollars, with some speculating $15 to $20 million.

#2 - $6 million – Max & Emme Anthony (Jennifer Lopez / Marc Anthony)
#3 - $4.1 million – Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt)
#4 - $3 million – Levi Alves McConaughey (Matthew McConaughey) ** Does this count? They also gave the rights to first Christmas and wedding.
#5 - $2 million – Dannielynn Smith (Anna Nicole Smith)

To see the rest of the list, visit Access Hollywood.

Most of the Jolie - Pitt kids are on the list. How strange that will be when they are older and can understand what their pictures fetched.

 

And so it begins... I can't even imagine the frenzy that will ensue once the Jolie-Pitt family are well enough to venture out into the world. Italian Vanity Fair starts it all off with their August cover (strategically planned I might add) showing the very beautiful new mom of twins wearing a ton of lip gloss and a gun charm?  

Look familiar? The picture is the exact one Entertainment Weekly published last month. 

Interpreters? Can anyone read the caption?

I have a feeling Dr. Sussmann is really enjoying his moment in the limelight. My guess is the hospital is going to do everything in their power to keep Angelina Jolie in the facility for as long as they can. That way should he want to hold another press conference, there will be reason to do so. Although births are handled differently in Europe than in the US.

"She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay."

The doctor told the press that the couple "were talking, they were together," during the birth of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.

"It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy." Pitt never left Jolie's side – "he was my assistant!" Sussmann said jokingly – and even cut the babies' umbilical cords.

"He was ... perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional," said Sussmann.

So the end result of the meeting? Everyone is doing wonderfully - babies and parents.

"The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine."

The Mayor of Nice also decided to take part in all the fun. He made an official presentation of the twins' birth certificates to the hospital, and had Angelina presented with a large bouquet of white roses and lilies.

"It's a pride to Nice and all its citizens. 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."

"I also congratulate the four brothers and sister of the newborns who are [history won't forget it] real 'Niçois' ('citizens of Nice')."

Press conferences? Mayors presenting birth certificates? $11 million baby shots? I don't know. Has it gone too far? However, I am one of those people who is interested in the details. So I guess I shouldn't complain.

Well, if that isn't breaking a record, then I don't know what will. $11 million is the rumored amount Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have negotiated the first picture rights for Vivienne and Knox.

Does Ok! Magazine have that kind of dough? I'm thinking it was People who won the bidding war. Only time will tell. And yes, all the money is going to charity.
