Angelina gives birth to twins

ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt have named their new twins after relatives.

The premature boy and girl, both 5lbs and healthy, are Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

They were delivered by Caesarean in Nice, France, at 8pm on Saturday as dozens of security guards patrolled inside and outside the hospital.

Angelina had been due to give birth in August but it was brought forward for medical reasons.

Michel Sussmann, her doctor at the Lenval Hospital, said: “Mother and babies are doing very well. Everything is marvellous.”

Marcheline is named after Jolie’s actress mother who died of cancer last year.

Knox Leon is thought to be named after Brad’s grandad Hall Knox Hillhouse.

Leon comes from the Greek word for lion and implies strength.

Brad, 44 — who was present at the birth — and Angelina, 33, also have a daughter, Shiloh, two, and three adopted kids.

The couple recently moved into a chateau 50 miles away and are due to be flown back there by helicopter later this week.

The babies’ first photo has reportedly been sold to a US paper for £5.5million, with the money going to a humanitarian cause.

I am glad that the babies are healthy and that all is well but. . . I guess I am still not over Angelina stealing Brad away from Jen. That still just kinda irks me. Are there any other Jennifer Aniston fans out there who feel the same way? I am even willing to overlook her cureent indiscretions with John Mayer (yuck!).

I never would have thought Brad would have that many kids. I wonder why he never had kids with Jennifer.

Maybe Jennifer didn't want kids at the time and Brad was getting fed up with waiting you never know
