How Everyone Was Scooped

Filed under: Brad Pitt > Baby Blabber > Angelina Jolie > Media Minute > Francophilia

With so many media outlets just in the U.S. alone fighting for coverage of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins, it's funny to see that that a small French newspaper got the upper hand at writing about them.

Nice-Matin's assitant editor, Olivier Biscaye, says "It was Brad Pitt who chose to give the scoop to Nice-Matin. He said to the doctor that the local media should be the first informed about the birth."

And the paper's chief writer, Jean-Francois Roubaud, was even given special media access to the hospital and the Bangelina doc!

While countless reporters and paparazzi had to wait outside for news, Roubaud was allowed inside the hospital and given access to Brangelina's obstretrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann.

And, unlike media outlets such as Entertainment Tonight, who incorrectly reported WEEKS ago that the twins were born, the Nice-Matin had the real scoop this weekend.

The newspaper's editor said proudly, "We knew we would be the first in the world."

Adding that writer "Rouboud spoke to the doctor around 10 p.m., 9:45. We had all the details: the names, weight, one boy, one girl."

And the newspaper goes on to boast that it also had Poppa Pitt's first words after the birth, quoting "Marvellous, wonderful!"

Adds the editor, "Nice-Matin has always chosen not to play the game of paparazzi towards the celebrities who have chosen to live in the region. We respect them, and they do likewise. We let them have a peaceful life. This why I think Brad and Angelina have chosen to make this gift to Nice-Matin."

If you want to read the rest of the article, detailing how the French newspaper beat the rest of the world's media with the report of the twins birth and how it's now rubbing it in their faces, click here.

Always like the French, being on their high horse and gloating.

We kid. We kid.

We love the French and our French Fries!

It was sort of the right thing to do, since they were born in that country. Sooo, their media has the right to publicly announce it first.

French Fries come from Belgium. The reason why they call them French Fries was because Americans were too ignorant to understand that even though half of belgium speaks french, it is not part of France.

WHY CAN'T WE MAKE LIFE PEACEFUL FOR STARS IN THE US????

They're all going to end up in France.

It's nice that Brangelina had such a peaceful time this and last week. How horrible it must be for a woman to be flashed with billions of cameras right before and after birth (when the body is just not doing/looking as well as usual).

Never say you love France because of the French fries. They weren't 'invented' there. It's most likely they were first eaten in Belgium. That's what the country is famous for. Belgian fries are the best (Flemish ones are even better).

So fucking glad these damn twins are out. Soooo tired of hearing about this. Now of course I'll have to hear about them for prob the next month or so, then they'll be forgotten. I hope to God they stop now so I don't have to hear about their kids which I could give a fuck less about!!!!!

That's one of the reason Johnny Depp went to live in the south of France with his family, they are left alone and are not hounded by papparazzi.

This is all so annoying. If these two were really as down to earth, and into their children and family life as their publicists say they are, they wouldn't be thinking about which media outlet would be alerted about the birth of their children. They would be busy calling all of thier friends and families and most importantly, they would be busy holding and loving their newborns.

Yo, yo, yo yo yo….

Hello world, my name is Knox,
My big bros are Pax, and Maddox.
I was born with Viv who so far just squawks,
But we’ll learn how to walks, and then how to talks,
So we can ask, “Why do you gawks?”
To all the peeps when they see our ma who’s a fox,
And when they see our pa, who looks like Goldilocks.

Some say our fam is a bit unorthodox,
When we finger paint we say no to the smocks.
Mad’s hair is wild, he gets to wear mohawks,
There’s caviar and gourmet cheese in Pax’s lunchbox.
Z likes to stack her solid gold blocks,
Another sister just popped up from Shi’s jack-in-the-box.

We do what we want when; we don’t look at the clocks,
We use helicopters just like you use crosswalks,
All eyes are on us but we often outfox,
Still no matter what we do the world loves the aftershocks.
Wherever we go next we will knock off your socks,
Cause we’re the Brangelina Bunch that really really rocks!

Um…all she did was have twins. I did that shit 22 years ago and I'll bet the amount fools are paying for the photos that mine were 10 times more beautiful thatn her's will ever be. I thought she was an actress,
When she does something to impress me- LIKE be an ACTRESS and MAKE A GOOD MOVIE, she'll be newsworthy. Did she add cum-dumpster to her resume yet. She's doing quite well at that. (jk- lol)

"He said to the doctor that the local media should be the first informed about the birth"

These people need to get OVER themselves….you would think she was giving birth to the next messiah. Who gives a crap….two more babies. People have babies everyday…what makes their kids any more noteworthy then anyone else's.

I wish these two would just GO AWAY.

Re: lola – BULL!!! If they didn't TELL ALL THEIR BUSINESS to the media they would have privacy. How do you think the MEDIA KNOWS WHAT THEY DO??? If they didn't want the attention why would they be offering up shots of their babies like it's and E-BAY AUCTION?!?!?!?

Re: Husba WHY CAN'T WE MAKE LIFE PEACEFUL FOR STARS IN THE US???? –

That is a very good question. why are the paps here so bloodthirsy and relentless? It's not just rising prices, they've always been this way. Then again, look what happened to Princess Diana in Paris. Maybe her death taught France that you don't stalk and hunt people like animals until they're dead.

French Fries aren't from France, they are from Belgium! Some idiot came up with the wrong translation..

In China you're only allowed one child right? What if you have twins? I wish they would move to China so this would be over and I would never have to hear about their damn kids again! And if i'm wrong about China I'm sure i'll be corrected by all the intellects that go on perez hilton.

These two are such media whores. They munipulate the media to suit their own needs. Apparently celebrities from France are very upset because France has the strictest privacy laws and thanks to Brangelina, the paps are everywhere. They are not "candids" from paps that just happen to find them, they are called. On every occasion. They conveniently annouce giving 1 million to charity the week Angelina's movie is coming out and now they have already pimped off their children. Just the sight of them disgusts me, they are appauling parents - no better then Dinah Lohan or Denise Richards.
Personally, I think they should have just taken out an add in a newspaper like every other family and left it at that. Next they are going ot complain that the paps are at the hospital when the twins are released. Which of course wouldn't happen if they didn't alert the media on every detail of their life and relationship.
At least being media whores will shorten their careers and therefore we can get rid of them quicker.

Considering all of the resources the city spent on these two vapid assholes once they hand-pick a town to decend upon with all of their wrath and trail of discombobulation, the LEAST they could do is alert the local media first and give them "the scoop". IT'S AN OLIVE BRANCH-FURTHER MEDIA MANIPULATION. WHAT THEY REALLY SHOULD DO is REIMBURSE THE CITY for all of the security detail, air space, police, barricades, traffic cops, etc, etc. At least this is WEALTHY NICE. Think about poor Namibia with that Shiloh.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
