Angie has been doing the media rounds again, this time for the DVD release of Kung Fu Panda. Opening up even more about how it was Brad who convinced her to get pregnant, she admitted that, before Brad came along, she wasn't sure she would "ever be comfortable with getting pregnant". "I just thought there were so many children in the world I never felt I needed to create a life," she explained. However, things changed when she met Brad. The proud mom of six commented that "I was thinking of only adoptive children, but he saw a big family mixed with adoptive and born children. And I ended up falling in love with a man who I think was destined to have children and suddenly one day it felt right and there it was."
Angie also explained that adoption is something that is celebrated in the Jolie-Pitt household. "We talk about orphanages, we talk about their countries and differences, and it's a source of excitement and pride," she said. She then shared a very cute quote made by Maddox, who was discussing pregnancy and adoption with Zee: "No, Zee, remember, you were in that nice African woman's belly. I was in that nice Cambodian woman." As for the question everyone's been asking: Will the Jolie-Pitts adopt again? Angie confirmed that "Most likely we'll adopt again." She also reititerated that she and Brad bring new children into the family only when the others are ready by saying "As we layer them in, with two new ones, we're watching that balance, that shape and form, and once we feel that's solid, we’ll know when it’s time to bring in another.
The topic of Angie's photos in this month's issue of W Magazine, which were taken by Brad himself, also came up in the interview. While there has been controversy over the cover, which depicts Angie breastfeeding one of the twins, Angie explained that, in fact, they actually ended up toning things down a bit! "We'd look at the pictures as art and say this is a really interesting photograph, but then we’d know better and we'd think about how it was going to be received. So we made it a little more tame than it was originally," she explained.
The Jolie-Pitt kids love their mom's character Tigress in Kung Fu Panda. In fact, they have several Tigress dolls, which they call "mom dolls"! "They have mom dolls everywhere. They have the Tigress. They love Tigress. They have a big Tigress doll that they keep putting diapers on!" Angie shared. She also talked about the newest members of the family, Knox and Viv. "They are starting to get very smiley and they are at those months where their personalities really start to shine. So it is very fun." she shared.
While in the U.S. for the premire of her movie "Changeling", Angie was nice enough to give us an update on the kids. According to their proud mommy, Knox and Vivienne are "Getting big and healthy and developing personalities". Angie also shared that the twins "Are the cutest things in the world. They do nothing but smile". As for Knox and Viv's older siblings, Angie shares that they "Are to busy to be jealouse because they are so busy with each other". Naturally, with two new babies in the house, sleep is pretty scarce for Angie and Brad. Angie admits "We do have some help a few nights a week and use that time to catch up on our sleep".
As for how Angie got that amazng post-baby body...It's all due to active kids and hungry babies! She notes "I've been running around with all of the other kids, and breastfeeding, which I think is a part of your body's recovery. It's genetics." She goes on to say, "Certain people are different in their shape. But I'm breastfeeding and I think that's it. That's how your body naturally responds." Angelina and Brad plan to have more children...But not right away. "We're going to wait a little while," Angie explained.
I just want to say kudos to Angie for sticking with nursing twins!

I made a photo album of various photos of the Jolie-Pitts, chronicling the family's growth from just two people (Angie and Maddox) to eight. I hope you like it!
Seeing as there hasn't been much to post lately, I decided to make a collage of photos of all the Jolie-Pitt kids as babies (or in Pax's case, when he was first adopted). They (except for the twins, who are still newborns, obviously!) have all grown and changed a lot, haven't they? Little Z especially has grown and changed a lot. Remember how sick she was when Angie first adopted her? Happily, that's actually hard to believe looking at her now! :)
Hi, everyone! Are you a fan of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and their kids? Then you've come to the right place. The Jolie-Pitt Resource is a little like The Celebrity Baby Blog, which posts news, updates, and photos of celebrity kids. However, the Jolie-Pitt Resource will only post news, updates, and photos about the J-P kids. Naturally, this will also include any note-worthy updates and photos of Angelina's current pregnancy! At the moment we're unsure just how many photos we'll be able to post, as we certainly don't want to violet any copyright laws! However, we WILL certainly be keeping you up-to-date on the latest J-P news (please note, however, that we will only post J-P news if it has to do with the kids and/or Angie's pregnancy. If the news is just about Angie and/or Brad and doesn't affect/involve the kids in any way, we will not be posting it. There are plenty of Brad and Angelina fansites out there that you can get that kind of news from!). The same goes for photos. Right now, however, the only J-P photos we will not be posting are those of Brad alone, as Angie's growing belly is definently J-P kid related! :)
We will also be featuring various polls about the J-Ps on this blog. Those can be found on the left-hand side of this blog. To start this blog out, here is a little background on each of the J-P kids, some of which you may already know, but some of which you may not (for example, when Maddox, Zahara, and Pax were adopted and what Maddox and Zahara's birth names were).
Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt
Born: August 5, 2001
Birthplace: Cambodia
Adopted: March 2002
Birth name: Rath Vibol
Nicknames: Mad, Maddy (Brad and Angelina have used both in interviews)
Fun Fact: According to an interview that Angelina did in 2007, Maddox thinks his parents play dress-up!
Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
Born: November 29, 2003
Birthplace: Vietnam
Adopted: April 2007
Birth name: Pham Quang Sang
Nickname: As far as we know, Pax is the only one of the Jolie-Pitt kids without a nickname!
Fun Fact: Angelina has said that it was actually Pax's grandmother, her own late mother Marcheline Bertrand, who choose Pax's name. When Brad and Angie were expecting Shiloh, Marcheline gave them a list of names, and "Pax" (which means "peace" or "peaceful" in Latin) was one of them. Pax's middle name, Thien, means "sky" or "heaven" in Vietnamese, so his full name quite literally means "peaceful sky" or "peaceful heaven".
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt
Born: January 8, 2005
Birthplace: Ethiopia
Adopted: July 2005
Birth name: Teena Adam
Nickname: Z
Fun Fact: Zahara is known for her trademark "paparazzi pout" (not a quote from Angie or Brad! I put it in quotes because that is what the general public tends to refer to it as) and pointing at the paps.
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt
Born: May 27, 2006
Birthplace: Swakopmund, Namibia
Behind her name: Angelina recently revealed that Shiloh was the name her parents had planned to give their first child (sadly, that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage), and a name she's always liked (in fact, she said she's even used it as an assumed name when staying in hotels). Nouvel is believed to be a tribute to architect Jean Nouvel, a favorite of Brad's.
Crazy Rumors: Before Shiloh was born, all of the following were rumored about her: She was going to be a boy. Angelina was planning an African Waterbirth (she actually had a scheduled C-section because Shiloh was breech). Angelina and Brad were planning to name her "Africa". Interestingly enough, it was also rumored at one point that she was going to be twins!
Fun Fact: Shiloh was born the day after another well-known celebrity baby: Kingston James McGregor Rossdale (incidentally, Kingston was also born via C-section due to breech positioning and, like Shiloh, is awaiting the arrival of a baby brother or sister this summer. Unlike Shiloh, however, his mommy is only expecting one baby!), the son of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Shi and Kingston had their first playdate when they were just a few weeks old!
