Angelina Jolie posed for a series of portraits chronicalling her pregnancy. She had the artist, Don Bachardy, flown into Namibia and had him sworn to secrecy about the project:

Artist Dan Bachardy is a 72 year-old gay man, and has had his work shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Smithsonian art museum.

His portraits are stylized views of the subjects and can be revealing but aren’t realistic enough to embarass. Bachardy uses heavy strokes, shading and light to make peop look slightly cartoonish. Angelina’s pictures are sure to be tasteful and probably don’t give away much more of her naked body than we’ve already seen.

Meanwhile Angelina has brought Shiloh to visit her ailing mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand, in LA. Bertrand has been under care for cancer, and was not well enough to fly to Namibia to see her grandchild after the birth. (thanks xiaoecho!)

A paparrazo was arrested outside of four year old Maddox’s daycare yesterday. The guy was hiding in the bushes trying to get pictures of the tot when a member of Jolie-Pitt’s agressive security force nabbed him. He was then arrested and released on $1,000 bail.

Here are some random older Angelina Jolie photoshoots for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to babyface at Hollywood’s Best.

We are supposed to be on vacation, but it’s much more work than our average day of blogging, going swimming with our son, and riding our bike to town to get a croissant. So our normal life is relaxing and calm like a vacation while our trip to the states is turning into constant travelling, shopping, and seeing all the friends I wish would visit us in Switzerland. It’s a good thing that everything is all backwards now, but the blog is suffering during our travels. Sorry for that. Thanks for bearing with us until we’re settled on Thursday when we’ll continue working tirelessly for your gossip fix.

Meanwhile, what is wrong with Angelina Jolie? The woman went through a phase of being addicted to tattoos and morbid thoughts, then significantly improved herself by getting caught up in trying to save the world. Now she’s moved on to adopting international babies, and seems to be feeling so much guilt over having a biological child that she’s said to have started the process of adopting twins:

(from Star Magazine’s e-mail newsletter)

I know a guy who is one of eight kids, and there are plenty of families that grow quickly. It’s just not as common in this era and it seems over the top for Angelina to want two more right away. Angelina needs to slow down and focus on the family she has now. Three kids are plenty, and Shiloh is barely a month old. She must be unfulfilled or have other problems that are causing her to obsess like this.

This isn’t just a rumor because Angelina told Anderson Cooper in a CNN Interview for International Refugee Day that she plans to adopt again and that she’s looking for a baby that fits in well “racially” with her other kids.

As you can imagine, this comment sparked a lot of controversy on the board where we found this news. While some people understand, many are outraged that Angelina seems to be treating babies as accessories and say that all the nannies and maids in the world can’t make up for the attention that children need from their parents.

I haven’t seen the full Anderson Cooper interview with Angelina yet, but judging from the preview clips and her long drawn-out interview during the Namibian press conference she seems seriously imbalanced to me. I used to think she was this intelligent woman who turned her life around and was focusing on things that mattered. Now I think she’s just fully absorbed in something without taking time to think it out and make sure her life is in balance.

You can see previews from Angelina’s interview through the CNN website. Once the interview is available on YouTube, we’ll post it here.

Here are screencaps of Angelina’s expressions during the interview (Many more at ONTD) and some posed pictures. [via]

The president of Namibia has supposedly written a personal letter of gratitude to Angelina Jolie to thank her for doing more for the African nation by choosing to pop out her baby there than his tourism budget for the next century:

If it’s true that Namibia is going to declare Shiloh’s birthday a national holiday that just seems like overkill after this over-the-top letter. Angelina is a “founding mother” of Namibia indeed. Do you think someone made this shit up? It sounds too good to be true. Of course Namibia is grateful but this letter is too much.

In related fake news, Star is saying that chain-smoking Aniston plans to confront Angelina for being a homewrecker. I totally doubt this is true.

Star also claims that Angelina wants to move back to France as soon as Brad is finished filming “Oceans 13,” and that Brad wants to get married but Angelina’s against it.That sounds more likely. From their e-mail newsletter:

This is not big news since Angelina has been calling the shots and already dragged the family to her mother’s native France. No matter where they go they’ll be hounded by photographers, though, because there were plenty of pictures of the Jolie-Pitts when they were in Paris.

It’s all well and good for Angelina to say she doesn’t need a nanny when she already has a chef, maid, and personal security staff to do her bidding. It must be easier to focus on your role as mother when there aren’t a ton of other things to do.

Tom Cruise called Angelina Jolie while she was still in Namibia to congratulate her on the birth of Shiloh Nouvel, but he soon tried to sneak his creepy cult Scientology into the conversation - by asking Jolie to pick up an “award” for her charity work from the Celebrity Scientology Center in Hollywood:

Rick Ross of CultNews.com points out that Cruise forgot that Jolie’s significant other has a lot of experience with the cult. Brad Pitt reportedly dumped idiot Juliette Lewis back in the early 90s due to her involvement with Scientology.

Now that the details of the prenup between Tom and Katie have been worked out, Katie’s parents are reportedly anxious for her to marry Tom and get her hands on the dough. She stands to make $3 million for every year she’s marrie to the crazy half-pint, with a $33 million cap on her divorce settlement. If she leaves Tom now, she could lose custody of the supposed baby, according to an “insider,” but if she marries him she stands to get some cash and has a better chance at keeping Suri.

Where the hell is Suri, anyway?!

This extended love scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith makes it easy to see how Brad and Angelina hooked up on set. They have so much chemistry together:

And here’s a deleted scene of Brad and Angelina’s kissing at their on-screen wedding. This may be the only time they walk down the aisle.

TMZ reports that preparations are in high gear at Brad Pitt’s $9 million Malibu estate for the famous family’s return to the states this weekend. A van full of liquor pulled up on Wednesday, the secuirty system was upgraded, and the tennis court was covered again to create a large play area for Maddox.

In terms of the glass house offering a clear view from the ocean, there will probably be a tarmac put up to block the paparrazi just like at the Burning Shore Resort in Namibia.

The best part of the story is the fact that Brad and Angelina plan to have Shiloh sleep in the master bedroom with them. It’s a lot easier on mom and dad to have a newborn in the same room as they can respond quickly when she wakes to nurse, and everyone will get more sleep. It also sounds sweet and like they are loving parents.

This news seems accurate, because Brad and Angelina admitted during their Namibian press conference that they planned to return to the states within a few days. It should be a lot more comfortable in California for Brad, who was said to be fed up with the heat and seclusion in Africa. Will Angelina be content to stay in Malibu with her new family? We doubt it. Once Shiloh is a little older she’s bound to hightail it to France.

TMZ also has a video of Brad and Angelina’s press conference. Angelina talks about moving to Africa, International Refugee Day, and their donation to Namibian hospitals. Brad doesn’t say anything and is out of the frame until the end, when he kind of smirks and then catches himself and tries to look serious. She is pretty good at talking to the press and he seems content to let her do her thing.

Thanks to reader Millie for e-mailing me to let me know that I’m not Obsessed had the Shilloh baby pictures that are coming out in People and Hello!. Unfortunately they had to be taken down, but we’re under the radar for now and found them on the Saving Face Forum. This family is so cute that we feel sort of bad questioning Shiloh’s parentage.

In the press conference with Brad yesterday, Angelina dismissed claims that she may marry the supposed father of her newborn baby, saying that they are committed to their children, but that “to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing.” Getting married is nothing indeed, Angelina, especially when you have no plans to do it.

These photos are from Italian Vanity Fair.

Update: higher quality images thanks to CelebVent and originally from JustJared.

The National Enquirer says that Angelina is freaking out because she had sex with someone else right around the time she conceived Shiloh and that Brad Pitt might not be her biological father!

If Brad is a cuckhold (I just love using that word) that’s obviously much worse than having to deal with moving around the world at your girlfriend’s whim, and he might not put up with it!

The Enquirer could have made this up in order to move copies, but given Angelina’s sexual past it’s kind of believable. That’s incredible! At least the baby is passably Brads for now. We’ll have to see what she looks like when she grows into her features.

Here’s the latest real picture of the world’s most famous couple and baby from People Magazine. (Thanks Millie!)
The rest of the pictures come out in People this Friday, June 9th.

Thanks to Tabloid Whore for the story.

Angelina and Brad did their bit for Namibian tourism by confirming that Shiloh will have Namibian citizenship in a press conference today. They praised the medical care they received in the African nation and tried to justify their extreme security measures. They also said they’re coming back to the states in just a few more days:

Pitt said he’s going to work on “Oceans 13″ next, while Jolie will concentrate on her role as a mother.

Our favorite reader Millie says of these pictures that Angelina “looks fantastic and is clearly breastfeeding.” We agree. To borrow an expression from The Bastardly, Ow!

Angelina and Brad are shown with Namibian first lady Penehupifo Pohamba, regional governor Samuel Nuujoma and Child Welfare Minister Marlene Mungunda.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best for these photos and Just Jared for the interview text.

Jennifer Aniston is said to have broken down in tears upon hearing that little Shiloh had seen the light of day. This sounds like crap someone would make up, and I have very little faith in the British rags, so take it for what it is:

Jen may say she wants children but she balked when asked by Regis if she ever babysits Courtney Cox’s daughter, Coco, practically shouting “No!”.

The good news for Jen is that her career may be salvaged even if she is indifferent and infertile. “The Break Up” did much better than expected at the box office and bested “X-Men 3″ despite terrible reviews.

Here she is at a press conference for “The Breakup” in Sydney. Thanks to Hollywood’s Best for these photos.
