The Boston Herald claims that Brad Pitt has been spotted carrying a high-end “Daddy Bag,” The “David” by Wake. We checked out Wake’s collection and compared it with pictures of Pitt carrying the bag in question, and we don’t think they’re the same bag.

The “David” is definitely a more feminine bag than the one Brad drapes his leather jacket over. Still, this doesn’t fare well for Brad, who was called a “nanny” by a source quoted in the soon to be defunct Celebrity Living:

Surely the Jolie-Pitts will have their own nannies and needn’t worry about either one of them having to watch the kids if they don’t want to. They’re hands-on parents, though, and will do their best to be there for the children.

Meanwhile Jolie’s best friend has said that Jolie was royally pissed off by Aniston’s pity party on Oprah:

If that’s true it’s awesome and of course Jolie would think Aniston is an idiot. We wish Aniston would just shut up and go away already. Once the Jolie-Pitt baby emerges she’s going to be even more miserable.

Word is that the Jolie-Pitts bought clothes suitable for a little baby girl, but also picked out a t-shirt with the word “Boy” across the front. Of course they already have a baby girl, but presumably these were little tiny clothes:

We heard earlier that that Jolie-Pitts were expecting a boy, so they may have staged the shopping trip and spoken loudly to throw off the tabloids.

Us Weekly claims to have the exclusive news that Jolie has decided to stay in Africa to give birth. They quote a source saying that:

A report in In Touch in early March states that PItt insists on having a doctor accompany the couple to Africa, should Jolie choose to give birth there.

While it is unknown whether Jolie plans to give birth in a natural, non-medical setting in Africa, an out-of-hospital childbirth is a safe option for a healthy first time mother. According to the book “The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth” by Henci Goer, medical studies show that home and birthing center (non-medical) births are safer and result in a better outcome for mother and child.

It may seen unconventional for Jolie to give birth in Africa, but it’s not irresponsible. She’s just looking for a safe, secure place for her child to come into the world. Women have done it for eons.

Update: People are saying that Africa is a dangerous place to give birth due to the threat of malaria. This may be true, but don’t you think that Jolie knows about that and has prepared for it medically? She’s a smart woman.

We did a little research and think we figured out Angelina and Brad’s latest location. Reuters reports that the Jolie-Pitts have moved from The Burning Shore resort in Namibia that we posted pictures of earlier to “a lodge in the Etosha National Game Park in northern Namibia, where lions are a top tourist draw and would help deter intruders trying to photograph the couple.” Obviously their last location was too accessible and did not afford them the privacy they were hoping.

There are many lodges in the Estosha National Game park. We browsed a lot of websites and compared prices. Most are nice, but not luxurious, and some are high-end, but have more than 15 rooms.

The Little Ongava Lodge stands out as a luxurious getaway that’s small and manageable enough for the Jolie-Pitts to book out. It has three spacious suites, each with their own swimming pool. It’s also located on a hill and boasts of the privacy it provides to guests:

Here are pictures of The Little Ongava Lodge. Again, this is our best guess, but it’s much better than the rest of the area lodges, and we think we’re right.

New York Magazine tries to move copies with a headline declaring that they have the first Brangelina baby photos. Of course all they have are fuzzy faked photos using lookalikes and a newborn. They even have the Angelina model pose with the baby at her breast.

The long filler article covers the paparazzi’s scramble to get the first picture of the baby and societal fascination with it - a nonstory really. We’d rather read about how they’re fighting or where they’re sleeping in that Namibian Getaway.

The paparazzi lament the hilly terrain and bad lighting in France, and the pesky laws that keep them away from celebrities as a result of Princess Di’s death. Jolie and Pitt are expected to create a diversion when they leave the hospital so that the newborn can remain untouched by the lenses that follow the family everywhere. Of course it is thought that the world’s most famous couple will sell the first pictures to the highest bidder to benefit one of Angelina’s favorite charities. Angelina confirmed pregnancy rumors by letting Haitian charity Yele Haiti sell her bump pictures for $400,000 to People Magazine.

This news seems outdated now that the Jolie-Pitts are in Africa, and it’s really just an excuse to post pictures of the lookalikes with a baby.

We have sort of exclusive googled-derived pictures of the Namibian resort that Brad and Angelina have booked out just in case Angelina decides to give birth in Africa.

The world’s most famous couple have holed up in the “Burning Shore Lodge” in Namibia. Angelina is said to be uncertain if she wants to give birth in Africa or France, and Brad is along for the ride. They have a jet on standby in case they choose to return for Paris in time for the birth of their first biological child.

Reports say Angelina and Brad have booked up all “seven” rooms in the resort for three months, but there are seven rooms and five suites, so the reports are probably mistaken.

Prices range from a modest $134 to $268 per night for two people. By our crude calculations, a three month stay in the entire hotel would cost around $240,000 USD.

The couple have been plagued by fighting and breakup rumors, which initially seemed like heresay but have come to ring true to us.

In Touch reports that Brad and Angelina are fighting over common issues like:

Hopefully some time away from the paparazzi and pressures of the city will help bring their relationship back on solid ground.

Here are our exclusively google-found pictures of the resort where Brad and Angelina are staying.

Unless the Namibian government is cashing in on the tourism trend of claiming that the Jolie-Pitts favor your nation, Angelina and Brad are now in Africa. This means that the rumor that Angelina wanted to give bith is Africa may have been true and that we were totally wrong. This will not be the first time.

Maybe the Jolie-Pitts will get some peace from the paparazzi in the nation of Namibia, or maybe some enterprising Namibians will get out their cameras and start shooting.

Regardless let’s hope that Brad is no longer banished to the couch and that he gets some loving in Africa. PopBytes posted these scans of a Star Magazine article that claims that Angelina is uncomfortable in bed due to her pregnancy (been there) and is having Brad sleep on the couch of their apartment in Paris.

Star also claims that Jolie and Pitt are fighting and that Jolie wants her children to grow up in Europe while Pitt is homesick for the comforts of America.

We were reluctant to admit that Pitt and Jolie were having trouble, but this might be true. Maybe after the baby is born and they’ve carved out a little space for themselves in Africa they’ll be on better terms. It certainly must be stressful to have people follow you everywhere, and it can’t be easy to move around so much.

Brad Pitt narrates a new PBS documentary, Rx for Child Survival - A Global Health Challenge, about people saving lives through healthcare initiatives.

In an interview published in TV Guide, Pitt emphasizes the program’s intention - that we can all help out in small but measurable ways:

Brad helps bring us from the fantasy world of Paris’ lazy eye to the reality of children needing basic medical care and supplies.

We don’t think it was just Bono who inspired his charity work, though.

The Rx for Change Website offers ways to help out:

• Donate
• Speak out
• Give time
• Spread the word

Now that Jolie’s ailing mother is back in France with her pregnant daughter, the media can’t speculate if the baby will be born in the states or France anymore, so they’ve decided to change the venue entirely.

This story sounds so fake it’s laughable, but Jolie is said to want to have the baby in Africa now so that she can continue working for the UN until her baby is born:

Jolie can work for the UN remotely and this doesn’t seem likely. Someone probably made up this story.

Here are pictures of Brad leaving yesterday for a business trip and Angelina with Maddox after he had his face and nails painted.

We’ve read two different reports that Brad Pitt is buying real estate. One seems somewhat legitimate and the other sounds like complete BS.

So supposedly Angelina and Brad are fighting up a storm in Paris and Jennifer Aniston is gloating. None of these rumors require any facts to back them up, because they’re pretty easy to make up given that we know practically everything about these people since they’re hounded by photographers and reporters every day.

Star says that Brad misses the states and that he’s fighting with Angelina over the wedding, which she says isn’t happening. They also say Angelina is very passionate (that’s a leap) and doesn’t fight fair with Brad.

Meanwhile Jen is waiting for the couple to break up, which is also no surprise:

And the article goes on to quote The Bosh, which says that Aniston’s trying to get pregnant with her bloated boyfriend, Vince Vaughn, but that she doesn’t care if they get married first. God forbid she should try to give up cigarettes in a bid to increase her fertility.

We seriously doubt that anything dire is wrong with the Jolie-Pitts, and hope that Aniston’s womb stays barren forever.

Here is Angelina shopping at a craft store and visiting a Yoga center in Paris with little Maddox yesterday. Note the sheer number of professional and amateur photographers following her. We sometimes think that A-listers make a pact with the devil. The money can’t be worth it.
