Angelina gives birth to twins
Posted by Jane Murphy
At last! After all the false starts and mounting press hysteria of the past few weeks, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally welcomed their baby twins - a boy and a girl - to the world.
The babies were born by Caesarean section at the Fondation Lenval Hospital in Nice on Saturday. Brad was present throughout the birth - and even cut the twins' umbilical cords.
"He was my assistant," the couple's doctor, Michel Sussman, later joked. "He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional."
But that's enough about Brad! How's Angelina? Well, apparently, she was very calm, laughing and chatting throughout the problem-free birth. Mother and babies are doing just fine, although they're expected to stay in hospital for a few more days.
And finally, you'll be pleased to hear that Brangelina have wasted no time in naming their new arrivals. Ready? The little boy's called Knox Leon and the little girl's called Vivienne Marcheline. As you may recall, Ange's mum, who died last year, was called Marcheline.
So Hollywood's golden couple now have six (count 'em - six) children. It's making me feel tired just thinking about it...

i love the baby girls name, it is soo sweet. the names of both children are normal conpared to other celeb names.
i think they should have re-thought the naming process though, with the recent addiction of sunday rose, the brad clan should be called monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday!!!!
