Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, the twins … Europe’s new obsession.
All of Europe is going crazy over the Brangelina babies.
The twins born to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Knox and Vivienne weighed almost exactly 5 lbs., said Dr Michel Sussmann, the obstetrician who delivered them by C-section Saturday night in southern France.
A crowd of photographers and camera crews have been hovering outside the hospital in hopes of catching a glimpse of family and friends arriving to congratulate the parents.
A bidding war is already under way for the first pictures of the Brangelina twins, with reports that the eventual price could top $20 million.
But Nice Martin, a French newspaper, reported that the couple had already sold those rights to an unnamed U.S. magazine for $11 million. The money would then go to charity as happened in 2006 when the couple’s daughter, Shiloh, was born, the report said.
London-based celebrity publicist Max Clifford told reporters that the first baby photos could fetch as much as $20 million, ”which would make it the biggest baby deal ever.”
Jolie and Pitt moved to the south of France several months ago and have made their home in the hamlet of Correns, in the Provence region.

Should the U.S. be overly concerned about the Europeans who are obcessed by celebrity worship. Europeans are concerned about A & Bs twins. Keep their attention on the twins. And we are supposed to be bothered by how Europeans see US.
