Angelina
Jolie in full bloom, in Cannes last May …
Nice Matin, France
Nice Welcomes
Jolie-Pitt Twins
"Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are
doing very well in Nice. And that's why they made a point of reserving for
Nicites [the people of Nice] and Nice - through Nice-Matin - the
announcement of their happiness."
-- Dr. Michel Sussmann,
French Gynecologist that delivered the Pitt-Jolie twins

The most celebrated infants
in the world were born just before 8pm last night at the Santa Maria Clinic of
the Lenval Foundation Hospital. Angelina Jolie, 33-years-old, has brought twins
into the world: Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, a small boy at 2.27 kilos [about five
pounds] and Vivienne Marcheline, also a petit 2.28 kilos. The two were worth
over $11 million even before they let out their first cry: the exclusive
first-ever photo of the extended Pitt family - now six children - has been sold
by the couple to an American magazine to benefit a humanitarian cause.
It was Angelina Jolie's
doctor in Nice who confirmed this information to our newspaper last night:
"Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing very well in Nice. And that's why
they made a point of reserving for Nicites [the people of Nice] and Nice -
through Nice-Matin - the announcement of their happiness," said Dr.
Michel Sussmann.
The media
pressure had subsided around the Nice clinic over recent days. Tired of craning
their necks in vain, the paparazzi had taken a few days off and Angelina and
her Nice gynecologist, Dr. Michel Sussmann, off-footed everyone. The Caesarean
section that had long been scheduled was brought forward a few days. Born
shortly before 8pm July 12, the boy-girl twins of Angelina and Brad Pitt are
doing well, just as their global-star mother. The operation performed by Dr.
Sussmann was conducted without any major problems. A birth of twins is like any
other birth ... even if as late as yesterday a fallacious rumor was circulating
that Angelina was suffering from diabetes, where in fact she was simply tired.
They were doubtless more than
a little fatigued: two days before bringing two babies into the world, Miss Jolie
was exhausted after 21 days of imprisonment in her VIP [Very Important
Pregnancy] hospital room. So the Lenval Foundation convinced her nurse to allow
her to take a few steps outside in the open air ...
Since she couldn’t expose
herself to the photo hunters still camped out in front of the clinic, Angelina
enjoyed a little freedom on the roof of the Foundation.

As soon as they were born,
the little "people," Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, ate some
white bread. For the American press, the glamour birth is ... "The most
important event since man walked on the moon."

The eagle of Nice:
Soon to be embossed on Brad Pitt's family record book.

And now their "first
smile" will be pursued relentlessly by the hundreds of paparazzi who
reassembled after this morning's announcement outside the Lenval Foundation, which
is now destined to remain under siege by the media. And that may be just the
beginning.
Even though he's a planetary
star, Brad, the proud papa, will - like any other man - have to submit to the
sacred Republican declaration of civil birth ... within forty-eight hours. And
it's likely that on that day, one will have to risk being jostled on the way to
the central chamber of Nice City Hall to get a glimpse of the handsome Brad
receiving his family record book embossed with the eagle of Nice.
