Angelina Jolie gives birth to Brad Pitt's twins - a boy & a girl!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie celebrate birth of the Brangelina twins at a hospital in the south of France late Saturday night. Actress Jolie, 33, had the twins by Caesarean section at the Lenval hospital on the Promenade des Anglais waterfront drive in Nice, with partner Pitt, 44, the babies’ father, believed to be by Jolie's side for the births. They are dubbed the golden couple of Hollywood and this is the latest chapter in a story that has transfixed celebrity watchers since the couple became an item when they met while filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in 2005.



The newly arrived girl and boy, named Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, mean the couple now have a total of 6 children. Knox weighed 5.03 lbs, and Vivienne 5 lbs. Vivienne Marcheline may have been named after Jolie's mother, the actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in January last year after a seven-and-a-half year battle with cancer.

The couple, who are among the highest paid stars in Hollywood, commanding 10-20 million dollars a film - share three adopted kids and three birth children, a multicultural family with multiple homes that celebrates the traditions of the birth-countries of all their offspring.

Exclusive rights to the first photographs of the babies have been sold for $11 million to an unnamed US magazine, reported the newspaper Nice Matin, which added that the couple intend to give the money to charity. After the couple’s first child, Shiloh, was born in Namibia in 2006, worldwide photographic rights were sold to People Magazine for between $5-7 million.
