Interesting Facts About Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and their babies.

Angelina gets quite a bit of attention, being in the spotlight is something she's had all of her life. In today's article we are going to explore some of the most interesting facts, and aspects of Angelina, that I could find.

The news today on Brangelina, or for better words, Angelina and Brad, have been buzzing about Angelina's pregnancy. She looked absolutely gorgeous at the Awards Ceremony, showing off her glamorous babybump.. and it got the gossip spreading about she and Brad, like wildfire in all the gossip columns, and net groups.

One report was on about Brad, and how he announced they were having twins, and they were both focused on having their babies on American soil, in Illinois or Los Angeles, as their last birth was in Namibia, and Angelina had a c-section under dangerous conditions.

Another source dispels that, saying Angelina is having another daughter. She is not having twins, and she and Brad bought a house in France. It also says that they have had the children studying French, to prepare them for the big move. Angelina wants her baby born on French soil, to honor her nearly departed mother who is of French-Canadian origin.

I did a little digging, and according do IMDB this is what I discovered.

Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand really is of French-Canadian origin, but she is also of Native American Haudenosaunee Iroquois descent on her mother's side. The Irquois reside in Quebec Canada, and are well known for introducing maple syrup to the Canadians. Angelina's mother was born in Chicago Illinois, USA. And her father Jon Voight, was of Czech and American descent was born in Los Angeles. And Angelina was born in Los Angeles as well.

Whether the rumours are true or not, about where Angelina and Brad are planning to have their baby, will naturally be determined after the baby is born. And the same goes for the twins, or sex of their new child. People are also saying that Angelina and Brad bought a house in Illinois, and have moved there from New York.

Firstly, I'd like to say, that Angelina's been my hero for many years. Her virtues, and ambitious nature certainly has earned her some stars throughout her career. And I'm not talking about the 22 times she's been on the honor role for being voted the Sexiest Woman Alive, or Smartest Woman Alive, or even The Hottest Hottie Alive. She ranked number 35 on askmen.com this year, but they have all good things to say about her.

I'm talking about heart. Angelina, if I had to vote on Best Friend for a Life-time, she would be the one. From everything I have ever read on her, and all the interviews I have seen her in, she has that special quality of loyalty and she seems utterly devoted to those close to her, and she really cares about people.

Being a Good Will Ambassador with UNHCR, and being the first citizen to win that award, which is what first drew my attention to Angelina Jolie. For someone who can easily make 20 million for starring in a movie, she certainly doesn't hold herself up on a pedestal and blindly forget the less fortunate in the world. Her good deeds certainly don't go unnoticed, and her Big Heart, compels her to continue on in her charity works. She doesn't simply feel empathy for a few short moments and the moments pass, she is passionate about what she believes in, and goes out there and does something about it.

Recently she had put a plea for the refugee's in Iraq that need help. And she no doubt won't just make a plea, she'll do something about it.

Did you know that Angelina donates 1/3 of her earnings to Charity? That's the words right out of her own mouth. She saves 1/3, lives off 1/3, and donates 1/3 to charity.

She donated many items to Rocky Stone to be given to less fortunate kids as part of the Toy Mountain Campaign.

She and Brad Pitt welcomed daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on May 27, 2006 in Namibia, Africa. The government in Namibia is offering citizenship to her new daughter.

In August, 2005 was made an official citizen of Cambodia by the King for her ongoing efforts to help the environment there.

In role as goodwill ambassador, visited Tham Hin refugee camp in Thailand, May 2002, to check on conditions of 9,000 refugees from bordering Myanmar.

As everyone knows she's famous for adopting children. Angelina, and Brad Pitt are parents of four children, with Angie pregnant with possible twins.

Their kids names are, Zahara, Maddox, Pax, and Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, who is their first biological born.

In 2005 she adopted a Ethiopian girl named Zara, Zara was to be an orphan due to AIDS, but the child's mother couldn't afford to care for her and put her up for adoption. Angie named the girl Zahara Marley Jolie.

Angie and Billy Bob Thornton, adopted a refugee boy from Cambodian named Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie, he was born on August 5th, 2001 in Cambodia. His original name was Rath Viboland since their split, Angelina took custody.

They say when Angelina was working on Lara Croft, and was filming in Cambodia was quite taken with the beauty of the country, and was setback by the shock of the poverty. It was what inspired her to adopt a child from Cambodia, and also what inspired her to donate 1/3 of her future earnings to charity.

Angie and Brad adopted a three-year-old Vietnamese boy named Pax Thien Jolie born November 29, 2003, who was initially named Pham Quang Sang. Because the Tam Binh orphanage does not allow unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie adopted Pax as a single parent, with Pitt later adopting his son domestically. Pax was abandoned outside a Ho Chi Minh City hospital shortly after his birth.

Angelina gave birth to Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on May 27, 2006 in Namibia, Africa, where she had complications, and an emergency c-section under dangerous conditions. They named their baby, Shiloh, and that name is copywritten so don't copy Angie's name, she won't be impressed. Now they are on their second biological child, or twins as rumor has it.

Brad adopted Angelina's children, and they all have the surname of Jolie-Pitt.
