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.”
