Yours truly is jetting off to France in a few hours and wanted to let you know there will be no juicy updates for the next week or so (and thus hoping nothing earth-shattering happens in Hollywoodland). My itinerary includes Nice and the Cote d’Azur and I was excited for a possible Brangelina & Co. sighting. But, of course, they pick this week of all weeks to relocate to Berlin… 
While Papa Pitt is filming the new Quentin Tarantino war flick Inglorious Bastards, his family will play in their new 30,000 square feet Palais Parkschloss, complete with helicopter pad and boat dock on the lake. A German newspaper also reports that 14 security guards patrol the grounds.
The brood is expected to call the estate home until the end of the year. Perhaps they will come back Stateside for the holidays?
Alright, gang…until October, au revoir!

We haven’t heard much about Brangelina lately since they’ve been holed up in the South of France. But one rumor that’s made its way into the American media is that the power couple has split up. Oh my!
This blind speculation started due to the lack of public appearances recently. So a shortage of tabloid pics = a breakup? Umm reality check…maybe it’s because Angelina just gave birth to twins?
While Angie is home playing super mom, Brad Pitt is jetting around the world promoting new flick Burn After Reading. Perhaps he is trying to squeeze all his work in before his other half sets off to promote her upcoming film, The Changeling, which is already generating Oscar buzz. Angelina will make her first public appearance at the red carpet premiere on Oct. 4th.
UsWeekly also reports that just yesterday, the whole Jolie-Pitt clan had breakfast together at their $70 million chateau in Southern France. Star (to be taken with a grain of salt) also adds that the manse is quite the “war zone” and “disgusting.” Well, that sounds normal when you have six kids.
Angie’s rep also immediately shot down rumors, labeling the claims “absolutely not true.” Phew, so maybe there’s still a chance they’ll adopt me.

While the decline of Wall Street and the stock market capture headlines across the country today and this past weekend, get your fix of more frivolous-camera-smashing news right here.
Rewind back to Saturday for the season premiere of SNL with host Michael Phelps. And it’s official: the Olympian shouldn’t quit his day job. Tina Fey stole the show with her perfect Palin skit. And shout-out to Amy Poehler for portraying Hillary Clinton spot on!
MTV staple TRL is ending its 10 year run in November. I’m sorry it’s over, but it makes sense. Who watched after like 2002 anyways? The network says they are trying to recruit countdown favorites like Britney, The Backstreet Boys, Justin and N’SYNC, Eminem, and others for the finale celebration.
Speaking of the Britster (sorry, I can’t help it), the mom threw her boys a joint birthday party this weekend with an A-list guest list. According to E! News, Sean Preston and Jayden’s newborn cousin Maddie made an appearance along with Gwen Stefani and Kingston, and Jenny McCarthy with son Evan.
It must have been a weekend of celeb baby birthdays. After Gwen and Kingston partied with Brit’s offspring, they headed over to Heidi Klum’s bash for son Henry. Victoria Beckham and Debra Messing also brought their little ones to the costumed affair.
Brad and Angelina donated $2 million from their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to the Global Health Committee for the establishment of a center to aid diseased children in Ethiopia. The center will be named after Zahara, who was adopted from the African country over two years ago. It’s probably acts like this that inspired Guinness World Records to name them Most Powerful Actor and Actress this year. No surprise there.
Happy Monday!

Well, we won’t say “I told you so.”
Sources reveal that that odd pairing of Johniston is kaput. That’s right, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have parted ways after four months of dating.
“They had a great time together but they are just in different places in their lives right now,” one of the sources told People.com.
A snitch to Us Weekly is on the same page: ”It is really a cooling-off, not this big, dramatic breakup. These are mature people who talk about things maturely. It’s just slowed down.”
Others speculate that Jen wants to start a family soon while her younger counterpart just isn’t ready (she’s 39 and he’s 30). Obviously he’s too busy lobbying, giving neighborhood tours, and hanging out with Pete Wentz.
The break-up follows the media storm that tried to pit Jen against Angelina Jolie again. As the new Jolie-Pitt twins were revealed to the world in a $14 million cover for People, rival tabloids splashed cover headlines like “Finally Over Brad: Jen & John’s Backyard Ceremony” (OK! magazine) and “Having John’s Baby: Now It’s My Turn…As Brad and Angie’s twins wow the world, Jen will finally get what she’s always wanted too” (Star magazine). These reports came out a week ago.

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie Pitt, meet the world. World, meet Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie Pitt.
People exclusively secured the rights to the first public photos of the world famous Jolie Pitt newborn twins - for a mere estimated $14 mil. Fortunately, the hefty price tag also includes 19 more pages of family photos, including that adorable picture of Shiloh holding her new baby sister. How precious!
“It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time,” Angelina told the magazine.
And, just in case you were wondering, the babies do have mama Jolie’s full, pouty lips!
Hello, friends. Here’s what you missed while you were sunbathing this weekend:
Shia LaBeouf was arrested for a DUI after his pick-up truck collided into another vehicle late Saturday night (check out the damage below). He sustained several injuries to his head, hand, and knee, though his mother tells E! News that the actor is doing “fine.” Uh, Shi? That little stunt you pulled is so last year. 
“The Dark Knight” has shattered another record. The blockbuster, starring the late Heath Ledger, pulled in almost $76 million this weekend. This brings its total gross thus far way past the $300 million mark after only 10 days in theaters, surpassing the record of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.”
Adorable couple Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell are expecting double bundles of joy this winter. After announcing that they were trying to get pregnant just last week, sources say that the couple conceived without the help of in vitro and are expecting two girls (if this is true, then they must have known they were pregnant last week). Congrats!
Matt Damon and his wife are also expecting their second daughter together. Looks like Jen and Ben’s unborn (and unconfirmed) baby already has a BFF!
As if we thought Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt weren’t luck enough, their godfather is Bono.

I suppose it’s time to join the circus. The Brangelina clan can now officially add two extra munchkins to their brood. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally welcomed their second and third biological children into the world this past Saturday in Nice, France, the coastal city where the couple have been nesting for the past few weeks.
Angie’s obstetrician say mom and dad are extremely proud of their boy-girl twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline (ooh la la, tres chic). He also blabs that Brad was “very moved and very emotional” when the babies were born. 
What’s in a name? Knox shares a common last letter with his two older brothers (Maddox and Pax), but it is also Brad’s grandfather’s middle name, according to Usmagazine.com. Marcheline is the name of Angelina’s beloved late mother, who died of cancer last year.
Meanwhile, a bidding war has ensued Stateside for the first pics of the famous newborns (presumably between People and OK!). Reports conclude that bids have soared to an outrageous $20 million!! That’s $20,000,000 for a couple of photos! Hey, I have a camera - where can I line up?
There’s no doubt that the Jolie-Pitts will donate the paycheck to a charitable fund (a French one probablement), but is this really a good thing? It seems as if it’s just setting the tone for future Hollywood babies and lucrative deals. Making babies is the new making movies, if you know what I mean…

While it may be hard to impersonate a celebrity, it is much easier to pretend to be part of a celeb’s posse. And in the celeb obsessed world we live in, people are eager to please. Exhibit A: A greedy woman scheming as Jessica Simpson’s assistant a few years ago to get $12,000 worth of freebies.
Exhibit B: Someone with too much time on their hands has been going around saying that Angelina Jolie gave birth to her twins. If you heard that the Jolie-Pitts welcomed two new additions to their ever growing brood last weekend, it was the result of a hoax. Of course, media outlets including Entertainment Tonight pounced on the story after they received an email from the alleged “assistant.” Even as Angelina and Brad’s reps denied the births, ET stood by their story, citing an “anonymous source.”
Angelina’s attorneys caught wind of it, and sent a letter to the major media outlets, informing them of the faux employee. Entertainment Tonight has yet to officially retract the story - a big no no in journalism.
So don’t fret, Angie’s buns are still bakin’ in the oven…for now.

Did everyone see Sex and the City? Well, you must have because it grossed about $55.7 million its first weekend at the box office - the highest a romantic comedy has ever raked in. Now, that’s big.
So what is Samantha Jones doing after sex? Why, more sex, of course! Per E! Online, part of Kim Cattrall’s deal when she agreed to join the cast of SATC was that she would get her own television show on HBO. She will star in and produce a remake of Sensitive Skin, a British comedy about a mom and wife that has rediscovered her sexuality. Writers from The Sopranos are signed on for the project that will be produced in New York City.
Fun fact of the day: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s name is a former pseudonym that her famous mom used when checking into hotels. Aww.

So sorry I haven’t posted in a while! My laptop’s contracted a virus and it’s been going crazy for the past week!
Anyways, on to the gossip…Angelina’s confirmed that her and Brad are onto children #5 and 6!! Well, actually, Jack Black confirmed it….yeah….
In an interview for their upcoming flick “Kung Fu Panda” at the Cannes Film Festival, Jack accidentally said, “You’re gonna have as many as [the] Brady Bunch when you have these.” Oops.
Angelina did say she will “possibly” give birth to the twins in France (as rumored), where she and Brad are currently staying. Congrats Angie and Brad! Until next time…
