Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie cause a stir in Namibia

[MaryJane]

Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have caused a media storm in the African country Namibia, only weeks before the actress is due to give birth.

The Mr And Mrs Smith co-stars arrived with their adopted children Maddox and Zahara Marley on Wednesday 5April 2006 for a family holiday at a beachfront lodge.

The Regional Chief of Police, Deputy Commissioner Andrew Iyambo, told The Namibian newspaper the couple's staff approached them a month ago concerning fears over their safety and were guaranteed security on their vacation.

Iyambo says, "Therefore they are entitled to their privacy."

You know what irritates me? Most times the kids are mentioned in an article, it says 'their adopted children....' That isn't called for. The whole world knows they are adopted, but they are their children. Period. I highly doubt they introduce the kids to others as my adopted son, Maddox....no-it's my son Maddox. Who just happens to be adopted....

Why the hell i she still flying. They must be taking private jets because commercial airliners do not want women who are close to popping on their airline. You are also right about the adopted kids, they are their children. It is pretty obvious they are adopted. Will they say after the baby is born, "These are our adopted children, and this is our real child", Come on.

I agree with the adopted comments but I suppose they put that in there for people who aren't familiar with their family? Who knows. Nana, you're right. Most commercial airlines won't let you fly past 34 weeks (I think) without a note from your doctor. Most doctors won't give you a note and will tell you to sit your a$$ at home instead.

[sweetrebel]

Of course, nana, because you know AJ just adopted those kids for publicity...she will not love them as much, if at all, once the golden child is born JOKE

But did you know the smaller the planes the less radiation it has?

[Bellatheball]

^^ Huh?

Karizma, have you been throwing back a few Friday afternoon cocktails or I have become dull at the end of the week?

[Karizma]

lol, could be the latter

No seriously there is something about radiation, cabin pressure and this crap, smaller planes are supposedly safer because they don't fly at high altitude and hence less pressure and less radiation coming from the sun. i will try to find you the explanation about it. yikes techno info.

Awww...I was hoping that the 'stir' would be the stirring of the big pot the two of them would be cooking in! damn!



















*and yes I realize they are not cannibals in Namibia!*

Not everyone is interested in celebrity info or gossip but I agree, why put adopted in the article?

[hello]

they are Angelina's adopted children, Brad is just the temporary nanny/daddy figure.

[yoohoo]

must be hard for the kids to make friendfs and connect with other kids constantly moving around. i would love to travel but they move around constantly. wonder if she she has some kind of fear of being in one place.

If those two actually stayed in one place, they'd actually have to spend a considerable amount of time with eachother, and then the whole thing would be over.

[sweetrebel]

I would think they spend a great deal of time together regardless of where they are. They are a couple who live together. I don't spend every minute of every day with my hubby, but I spend more time with him than anyone does....that is what being in a relationship is....

[PrettyGirl]

Okay, this is just too much. These two need to stop traveling so much and just settle down and paint the damn nursery or something. They are causing more of a stir by being so visible than just staying in L.A....enough already!
