I’d feel a little sheepish starting a thread just for this, but I wanted to pass along the news somewhere that the Jolie-Pitt clan is up by two. Congratulations to them! > [@](#): > > [Doctor: Angelina Jolie gives birth to twins](http://omg.yahoo.com/news/doctor-angelina-jolie-gives-birth-to-twins/10736) > …Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night. ---

BBC Television reported that they’d sold the first-picture rights for the twins to a US magazine for US$11 million. I thought: “What the hell??!?” Then BBC said all of the money would go to charity, so I thought okay, that’s cool. ---

Jeez! Didn’t think anyone was gonna take this thread so serious! My post was just my (apparently inaccurate) impression of Jolie. Plus about 50% stuff that I just made up to be funny! 😃 I guess she’s more a victim of her own success, being gorgeous, having a gorgeous hunk of a husband, being a great, Oscar-winning actress, etc. The adopting orphans thing just puts it so far over the top its impossible for me not to wanna make fun of her! BTW, she herself said on Inside the Actors Studio that she and her boyfriend did cutting for the thrill. Plus, the first thing I ever saw her in was HBO’s Gia, and she was just a little _too_ good in it to make me believe it was all acting. Not to mention that any woman who marries Billy Bob “wife-beater” Thorton must kinda like getting slapped around! BTW, there’s (or at least was) a clip on YouTube of her with her father at the Oscars. She’s like 12 years old and she’s already disturbingly hot (and surprisingly shy). ---

Pardon my ignorance and my hijack, but, there are at least two references in this thread to AJ “cutting”. To what does that refer? Please enlighten me (a grizzled old fart). Thanks! ---

Vivienne is a lovely name, but Knox? The boy’s name is Knox Pitt? That’s… terrible. ---

[QUOTE=Rubystreak] Vivienne is a lovely name, but Knox? The boy’s name is Knox Pitt? That’s… terrible. [/QUOTE] Knox Jolie-Pitt, which is a little better, but yeah, it’s unusual. Maybe it’s a family name. I’m not sure what the obsession with names ending in x (at least for the boys) is: Maddox, Pax, and Knox. I can’t imagine what the next boys’ name will be. ---

She doesn’t do much for me (straight male). Sure, she’s pretty, and has a nice body, but her lips are weird and she needs a cheeseburger. Give me Scarlett J. any day. Joe ---

Sure, she’s pretty, and has a nice body, but her lips are weird and she needs a cheeseburger. \*\*Give me Scarlett J. any day. \*\* Joe [/QUOTE] Scarlett and Angelina define for me the difference between beautiful and sexy. Most every young actress in Hollywood is beautiful, to varying degrees, but the truly sexy are a much smaller subset. Angelina oozes sex. Scarlett’s getting there. Natalie Portman’s more classically beautiful, and certainly a better actress (IMHO, of course), but you never get straight women declaring their wanton lust for her… …though if any ladies here would like to prove me wrong, you go right ahead. 🙂 ---

Gah, Scarlett Johannson is a barbie doll. She has generic blonde-bimbo looks. I see girls hotter than her on the IU campus every day. ---

[QUOTE=Equipoise] Knox Jolie-Pitt, which is a little better, but yeah, it’s unusual. Maybe it’s a family name. [/QUOTE] Apparently Knox is Brad Pitt’s grandfather’s middle name. And another vote for Angelina Jolie being hot. I don’t know if it’s constant make-up or great genes, but she has absolutely luminous skin. Just gorgeous.
