ICYMI, the Jolie-Pitt twins — a boy and a girl Knox and Vivienne — were born Saturday in Nice, France. While we've yet to see any members of the now eight person family, both Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice and Dr. Michel Sussmann, who performed the C section, are more than happy to talk. The mayor visited the hospital to officially sign the twin's birth certificates, telling the press that it is "a pride to Nice and all its citizens." In a press conference Dr. Sussmann described the birth:

  • On the birth: "[Angelina and Brad] were talking, they were together...It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy."
  • On Brad's role: "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."
  • On when Angelina will go home: "I don't know...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."
  • On the babies overall: "The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine." Asked whether the birth had been a textbook delivery, Sussmann replied, "absolutely no problems."

Needless to say, we can't wait to see little Knox and Vivienne, but we're happy to hear that it all went well welcoming the two new Jolie-Pitts into the world!

    Entire article at link. Sorry In Touch, Star Magazine, US Weekly, ET. Better luck next time.

    Now That Angelina Jolie Has Given Birth, Who Are the Winners and Losers of Her Pregnancy Saga?
    Counting the bodies

    The entertainment press is already fighting with each other over who got the story right. Bauer’s In Touch, which has devoted what seems like every other cover to another Brangelina headline, is claiming the exclusive, being the first to report the news accurately ahead of any other news outlet. That In Touch’s website first reported Jolie gave birth to “twin girls,” then recanted that part of the story, might be of material interest to on-lookers. The magazine, however, will point out that six months ago it reported Jolie was pregnant with both a boy and a girl. (Previously, Star and OK! had reported Jolie was carrying two girls.)

    After In Touch posted its report online, Us Weekly quickly “me too’d” with a “confirmation” that Jolie had given birth with its own website article. Then Extra, which had also posted online with the news, recanted its report, leading Us to also pull its story.

    It wasn’t long before People posted the “exclusive” news on its website, though its source was Jolie’s doc, Michael Sussmann, who released a statement to the press at large, not just People. So its “exclusive” news wasn’t so much exclusive as it was simply stamped that way.

    But once People pushed the story, the other hangers on followed suit; Us and Extra had their stories back online thereafter.

    I think it a little weird the mayor of Nice is doing that but yeah the man is happy to have those babies born in his city. LOL. I am just wowed by emotions Brad and Angelina bring out in people, my self included. Congrats to them again on their twins. Love hearing how they were together in the delivery room and how emotional Brad was. So sweet.

    i think that they are all just very excited - the family the mayor everyone - so that's why they seem tobe going a bit overboard. i think that it's wonderful that she's had the babies and that everyone's doing well. i had always thought that it was 2 girls that she was having - and i think that brad must be over the moon to have a little version of him now. right?

    I am so happy for the family and Im glad that everything is alright HOWEVER all of this is TMI!

    We didnt have to see the birth certif to believe that the children were infact born. Dont need the details of the birth either. I dunno, I believe things like that should be private.

    I understand their need to put out some information quickly at times due to the fact that there are some creeps out there that will stop at nothing to get it but this is a little scary.

    In any case I love this fam, congrats again.

    Yay! I was really excited to read this news for some reason and I can't wait to see those grow up. I'm sure they will be stunners like little Shiloh. Knox is really cool name, kind of futuristic. I've never heard it before as a name, but I think it works! Vivienne is a pretty, old-fashioned name. Congrats to the power couple!

    I still don't get how their baby pictures are going to worth like 10 million or more. I mean I don't care what their babies look like. All babies look pretty much the same. I imagine they'll look something like Shiloh. I wouldn't buy a magazine with pictures of them in it. Like how do these magazines make money when they have to pay so much for the pictures??

    WTF??? Guess HIPAA does not exist in that country. Think they are giving way too much information to the press. That should be totally up to the parents to share or not.

    this is just way too absurd - a press conference to show of the birth certificates? Seriously. They are just babies. And the fact that they are bidding those pictures up to double digit millions - yes the money goes to charity - but in reality they are just selling their kids.
    Enough already - the wondertwins are here - can we cover someone else now.

    Wow, I dont watch tv/get online for the weekend and she dropped her load?!

    I think this is a circus, its pretty lame. I think Brangelina set this standard for celebrity baby births to be a sideshow/freakshow if you ask me.

    And, its gross.

    Whatevs

    what brangelina fail to realize is we know WAY too much about their lives, their kids' lives and a lot of people are just fed up. talk about oversaturation! they don't understand how to keep things private that should be private like the details of this birth.

    look at someone like christian bale or even matt damon. they have both said that saying too much about their private lives kills the mystery and the best actors and actresses were always mum about their home lives...

    The Mayor and the Doctor are cracking me the eff up! Look at them, they're loving it! Dudes have smiles as big as the Grand Canyon!

    Also am LMFAO at people who think we know about Angelina and Brad's life. We know nothing other than what they tell us which equates to what, 5% of their life? Oh sure, we know everything.

    this is TMI ! my god, it's getting to be nauseating. anyone who is this interested in the details of strangers' personal lives needs to invest in a little bit of talk therapy, seriously. also, having lived there for several years in my teens/early 20's, i can assure you that the citizens of Nice are much too aloof and classy to be gushing over middle aged american celebrities. i guarantee you there was a lot of cringing going on when the news of the mayor acting like a toady hit the news.

    i feel embarrassed for everyone concerned, ugh.

    Next thing you know, they will selling a piece of the umbilical cord on eBay for "charity". As much as I love celebrity gossip, I think something like the birth of your millionth child is something kept in your pants, like what got you into this. IMO.

    I WONDER IF THE JOLIE-PITTS WANTED ALL THAT INFO SHARED? I AGREE WITH BARJAR1122 THIS WAS TOO PERSONAL. MAYBE THE MD GOT CARRIED AWAY? I MEAN ANNOUNCING THE BIRTHS, NAMES, AND MAYBE THEIR WEIGHTS WOULD'VE BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH. MAYBE THEY DID IT SO MAGS COULN'T DIG SOMTHING UP!LOL. I RESPECT PEOPLE LIKE DIANE KEATON WHO HAS TAKEN GREAT STRIDES TO KEEP HER DAUGHTER OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE. I MEAN THE PITTS ARE GOING TO BE LIKE 6 PARIS HILTONS BECAUSE HAVING THEIR PICS TAKEN CONSTANTLY BY STRANGERS IS AS NORMAL TO THEM AS SEEING A TRAFFIC LIGHT IS TO US. GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO HAVE A CHOICE IF FAME IS WHAT THEY WANT WHEN THEY GROW UP, LIKE GOLDIE HAWN DID ALSO FOR KATE HUDSON. ALSO!

    People criticize Brangelina, but I pat them on the back here because they are giving the tabliods no chance to print made up stuff. They are beating them to the punch on everything issue.

    1. No leaked or doctored birth certificates because here they are in the hands of the Mayor who is standing next to the doctor who delivered the babies.

    2. No made up doctor words because here is the doctor who was there every step of the way saying just what transpired in the delivery room, and he's saying it to the camera so everyone will hear it at the same time.

    I love it. No USweakly, STar and the rest having the so-called "source" spinning some bull_hit firsthand tales of fiction about any of it.

    They learned from the Shiloh birth, and they learned well and I love it.

    It is really very hard on eyes to try and read a post full of uppercase letters. I'm sorry that I'm one of them, and so I have to just jump over and not read.

    I actually like both of their names. Cute and fits with the rest of them.

    I'm glad they are all healthy and doing well.

    Hardly worth the news coverage it got though. I mean seriously

    so then they shouldn't complain when they are hounded, who cares what tabloids write about them, the welfare and privacy of their children should be first, right? id give two flying rats ass what is said about me but my children is different, that's what makes me come to the conclusion that they are in on all this fiasco, i have to bring this up since someone already did if they want to beat everyone to the truth why didn't they both or one clear the cheating rumors, they don't want people thinking negative or writing crap about them, or maybe it is true, I'm done thank you
