The Jolie-Pitts Make Their Christmas Presents

If you’re going to spending the festive seasons at the home of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt then you should not expect to receive an expensive Christmas present, in fact don’t expect anything but a home made gift.

Pitt says the couple who have Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh and the latest twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon don’t let their children watch American cartoons, which is why he believes they don’t ask for big presents.

He said, “the kids don’t ask for big gifts for the reason that they don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic. When they do see that stuff is when they start asking for the toys, so we figure if they don’t see them they won’t know they’re there.”

He added that they “have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum. The rule is that everyone’s got to make something for someone else, you got to put time into it.”

Brad also went on to give nappy changing advice to any parents, “you got to do it quick. There’s something about the air contact that makes them want to go again, so you got to get in there and get them changed before that happens, because those things stink! I’m pretty good at being quick, I must say – got it down by now.”

I was never into making presents for people so I don’t think I would fit in well with the Jolie-Pitt household.

Brad & Angelina’s Twins Photoshopped by People

People magazine paid $14 million for the rights to shoot and publish photos of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, the twin babies of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. That’s twice the amount that a celebrity weekly has ever paid for infant snaps because, you know, there are two of them.

In that cover photo, it looks like Vivienne Marcheline is sporting a giant grin. She may even be laughing. Hold on. These babies are purported to be a mere 3 weeks old!

Parenting magazine says that babies don’t smile from exterior stimulation until two to four months — even if said exterior stimulation is the most beautiful pair of humans in the entire world. Conspiracy! Photoshop! Something!

There could be a perfectly logical explanation, of course. The babies could have been born earlier than reported to avoid paparazzi attention, as has been rumored. Or Angelina and Brad, predicting their future acting careers, are already lying about the infants’ ages. Or these babies could be hyperadvanced super geniuses — in which case, for photos of the genetically perfect future of humanity, the $14 million People paid was probably a bargain.

In all honesty, I think paying 14 million for the pictures of those babies is ludicrous. How could they possibly sell enough magazines to justify that high of an amount? Yeah, they photoshopped them.
